for we have seen the impact of cheap willing EU labour on UK workers, from pay freezes / reductions, to competition for jobs. this is borne out by the ever increasing amount of low skilled workers now on the dole
and i have always been uncomfortable about unelected folk, having the power to ignore elected ones........its a little too similar to the Divine Right of Kings imo.
its as if modern democracy, has gone back hundreds of years, to when unelected lords & kings made the rules, and the powerless majority have to like it or lump it.
it reduces democracy to a sham
and hes also right about the EU being just another global bully
always preying on the weak...........
paying corrupt tyrants to grow biofuels, whilst their own citizens starve
paying corrupt dictators for fishing rights, allowing their oceans to be drag netted till empty, and again, allowing their own citizens to starve.........or turn to piracy
now happening in senegal btw, so there'll be west coast pirates as well soon.
but hey ho
maybe its just me.........and of course, Bob.
a good fella btw, who of course, is mis-represented by our media.
hes not a man fighting for the rights of his members, rights which are being removed without most of us even realising
hes another lazy rich union fool.....except he isn't........which really annoys them

Tom Maynard: The son of former England international Matthew Maynard, the 23-year-old Tom was killed after being struck by a London Underground train on 18 June 2012. Tom played for Glamorgan and Surrey; and also represented England Lions, the national A team. He had a first-class record of 2,384 runs in 48 matches at 32.65 with four hundreds; and was thought by many to be an England superstar in the making. ECB chairman Giles Clarke said: "This is a very sad day...Tom was a player of enormous potential who had already represented England Lions and had an exciting future ahead of him."Answered by Ataur Rahman, 20 Jun '12 04:12 pm

Hunyadi Murph, Simona E. and Murphy, Catherine J. and Colon-Mercado, Hector R. and Torres, Ricardo D. and Heroux, Katie J. and Fox, Elise B. and Thompson, Lucas B. and Haasch, Richard T. (2011) Tuning of size and shape of AuâPt nanocatalysts for direct methanol fuel cells. Journal of Nanoparticle Research, 13 (12). pp. 6347-6364.
Full text is not hosted in this archive but may be available via the Official URL, or by requesting a copy from the corresponding author.
In this article, we report the precise control of the size, shape, and surface morphology of AuâPt nanocatalysts (cubes, blocks, octahedrons, and dogbones) synthesized via a seed-mediated approach. Gold âseedsâ of different aspect ratios (1â4.2), grown by a silver-assisted approach, were used as templates for high-yield production of novel AuâPt nanocatalysts at a low temperature (40 °C). Characterization by electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis, UVâVis spectroscopy, zeta-potential (surface charge), atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were used to better understand their physico-chemical properties, preferred reactivities and underlying nanoparticle growth mechanism. A rotating disk electrode was employed to evaluate the AuâPt nanocatalysts electrochemical performance in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the methanol oxidation reaction of direct methanol fuel cells. The results indicate the AuâPt dogbones are partially and in some cases completely unaffected by methanol poisoning during the evaluation of the ORR. The ORR performance of the octahedron particles in the absence of MeOH is superior to that of the AuâPt dogbones and Pt-black; however, its performance is affected by the presence of MeOH.

Because people have accidentally spread invasive species when they brought firewood along with them. In Virginia, there are numerous counties under quarantines, issued by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, due to an invasive insect pest or disease. These quarantines restrict the movement of firewood or wood by products from certain tree species. Moving firewood in violation of a quarantine is a class 1 misdemeanor and upon conviction, you could be subject to; confinement in jail for up to twelve months and a fine of $2,500.00 or both.

text: The Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov wiki last edited by samanthademeste on 04/06/13 10:58AM View full history OverviewMajor Ivan Raikov is part of the Russian military intelligence group known as GRU. It is made blatantly obvious that the sexually questionable Raikov is Colonel Volgin's lover. According to EVA, he also shares Volgin's sadistic personality, sometimes "punching soldiers in the face because he felt like it." His appearance highly (and deliberately) resembles that of Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (in fact Raidenovitch means "Son of Raiden"in Russian). Raikov has many quirks that accentuate his homosexual preference. For instance, unlike other enemies, Raikov does not fall for the book or adult magazine trick (he simply walks past it). Also, when Naked Snake strips down Raikov, he finds out that Raikov wears a thong with a lightning bolt on it.Purpose in Metal Gear Solid 3 In MGS3, players must attack Raikov and steal his clothes in order to travel freely through Groznyj Grad and reach Sokolov and the Shagohod. When players use CQC on Raikov and threaten him with the survival knife, Raikov will give Naked Snake information on Colonel Volgin. If they continue to threaten him with a knife, he will spit out lines used by Raiden during MGS2. When players encounter Raikov and use the mask given to them in the beginning of the game, he will gaze at them with much self loving adoration. After stripping Raikov, players who use the Raiden face camo as well as the uniform are free to roam around Groznyj Grad and beat up as many soldiers and scientists as they please (however killing scientists or soldiers will result in an alert phase). The soldiers will not find it out of the ordinary if you punch them, seeing as how Raikov does it on a regular basis according to EVA. If player(s) do kill Raikov, he will appear during The Sorrow's gauntlet as an naked ghost grabbing hisNaked Snake disguised as Raikovcrotch (similar to Raiden during the events following the torture mini-game in Sons of Liberty). Eventually after reaching Sokolov players will encounter Colonel Volgin who uses a ferocious crotch grab in order to verify Raikov's identity. Unfortunately Naked Snake's genitalia does not match that of Raikov and Colonel Volgin begins an electric torture session on him after The Boss weakens and disarms Snake.Purpose in Metal Gear OnlineRaikov leading the GRU unitRaikov leads the GRU faction in the online portion of the Subsistence release. At the end of each round, the player in the GRU unit with the highest score gets to become Raikov. He uses the same vicious crotch grab that Colonel Volgin performed in Snake Eater, which results in an instant knockout.Purpose in Metal Gear Solid Portable OpsPlayers can recruit Raikov during a side-quest in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. In order to find him and recruit him, players must place spies in the Western Wilderness. According to the story, Raikov has fallen down in rank because the cruel way in which he treats his soldiers. Roy Campbell convinces Raikov to join Naked Snake's efforts because he would gain heroic status for stopping a nuclear catastrophe and regain his rank.

Mohamed Abdellatif and Michael Ross just completed a fun looking game for their Cornell University ECE 4760 Final Project. The game is Virtual Archery. The player has a bow that uses a stretch sensor to detect when the string is pulled and an accelerometer to determine how the bow is being held as the virtual arrow is released. The user even needs to take virtual gravity into consideration and aim slightly higher than the target. This looks like a fun game that could be a hit if it were made into a real product. I could imagine the bow communicating to an LED based target system that would light up the appropriate LED to indicate where it was hit. If you are interested in building your own or starting from Mohamed and Michael's base project you can see all of the code and schematics here.
"The ATmega1284P microcontroller uses its internal analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to determine when the stretch sensor has been drawn and released, communicates with an external ADC over SPI to obtain the orientation of the bow from an accelerometer, and displays the expected location of an arrow fired by the user. Another arrow is readied by the push of a button on the bow. When the bow is fully drawn, LEDs will light up simulating the arrow. The lights are turned off when the arrow is released."
Clopidogrel ineffective in. precio plavix farmacia ahumada . Is it to stop Plavix for drug-?...
…so, like, retro LaserTag.
So you don't even have to aim. When you have correct tilt of the bow, just pluck the string.
And this is final Project? , Come On!!!

Titans ask fans to donate school supplies to benefit the PENCIL Foundation on Aug. 24 at LP Field
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Tennessee Titans will once again partner with LP on Saturday, August 24th for the LP PENCIL Box School Supply Drive benefiting Metro Nashville students.
LP PENCIL Box, a collaborative venture between PENCIL Foundation and LP Building Products, offers Metro teachers the opportunity to shop free twice per year for classroom school supplies, benefiting Nashville's most needy school children. Since its inception in 2005, over $4 million worth of school supplies has been distributed to students whose families cannot afford to purchase them.
"The Titans supply drive is the biggest we have during the year so we look forward to this each year and are grateful to again have the support of the Tennessee Titans," said Kimberly Washington, LP PENCIL Box Program Manager. "Over 70% of MNPS students receive free or reduced lunch and providing educators with free supplies directly assists the students as well."
Volunteers from PENCIL Foundation and LP Building Products will collect donated items from fans at the seven collection drop-off locations outside LP Field with the collection time starting at 5:00 pm and ending 30 minutes after kickoff at 7:30 pm. Fans are encouraged to bring the following most-needed items:
• Pencil Boxes
• Backpacks
• Notebook Paper
• Primary Tablets
• Kleenex
• Paper Towels
• Construction Paper
• Art Supplies
• Classroom Cleaning Supplies
During the 2012-2013 school year, LP PENCIL Box:
• Received in-kind donations totaling $487,000
• Recorded 2, 067 teacher shopping visits, benefiting 30,000 Nashville students
• Distributed supplies valued at $549,000
"The Titans are very excited to once again partner with LP's effort to provide school supplies for Nashville's less fortunate students," said Don MacLachlan, Titans EVP of Administration and Facilities. "LP has an incredible desire and very generous history of aiding many charitable endeavors throughout the country. We are proud to join them in our annual game day drive for the LP PENCIL Box. Since moving to Tennessee our fans have always responded to our charitable drives in a most gracious manner, proving once again why they are the best fans in the NFL!"
"Titans fans and the Tennessee Titans have made significant contributions to LP PENCIL Box," said Mary Cohn, corporate affairs manager and president of the LP Foundation, the charitable arm of LP. "We are proud to again partner with them to support Metro schools and build a better future for Nashville."
The Tennessee Titans have had great success with their annual stadium drives and will continue to collect items this season to include the Ladies Undergarment Drive for the YWCA on Sept. 22 versus San Diego, the Sports Equipment Drive benefitting the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee's Sports Fund on Sept. 29th versus the NY Jets, the Nurses for Newborns annual baby shower on Oct. 6 versus Kansas City, the Titans Foundation Coat Drive Oct. 20th versus San Francisco, the Cell Phones for Soldiers Drive on Nov. 10th versus Jacksonville, the Second Harvest Food Drive on Nov. 14th versus Indianapolis and the U. S. Marines Toys for Tots drive on Dec. 15th versus Arizona.
Returning for the third season in 2013 as a charity drive partner is American Paper & Twine, a business partner with the Titans. American Paper & Twine will provide trucks and drivers to collect and then deliver items for all of the charity drives, eliminating the costs and services previously incurred by the individual charities.
"We are very pleased that American Paper & Twine has once again stepped up to join us in our efforts to help our neighbors with these drives," MacLachlan added. "The Doochin family (owners of the company) has a great tradition of charitable efforts and this is another outstanding example of their willingness to help others."
"American Paper & Twine Co. is honored to be able to reach out and help people in need by assisting both the Titans and their charitable partners in these game-day drives," said Bob Doochin, President and CEO of the company.
American Paper & Twine Company's tradition of trust began in 1926 when two young men, Nathan Doochin and Milton Lockenbach, saw an opportunity to create a niche in the expanding Nashville wholesale market. Eighty-five years later, American Paper & Twine has become a leader in the wholesale distribution of office, packaging, janitorial and food service products.

Studying words with the WordNet lexical reference
The WordNet lexical reference maps connections between words. Check out this fascinating tool based on language data from two decades of research.
WordNet is a reference tool that lets you study the connections between words. In the words of its developers, WordNet is "… an online lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets." (http:// wordnet. princeton. edu/). In other words, since all the entries in WordNet are organized into synonym sets (synsets) and they contain definitions and examples, WordNet can be used both as a thesaurus and a conventional dictionary.
However, what makes WordNet a unique reference tool is that every synset is connected to other synsets via a number of relations. This means that for each word in WordNet, you can retrieve not only its synonyms, but also hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, and holonyms.

Updated On: Apr 12 2013 04:50:39 AM EDT
Detroit police have found the 75-year-old man who was reported missing Thursday afternoon.
Robert Peoples was found walking outside by a citizen just after midnight on Friday. He received medical treatment and is listed in fair condition.
Mr. Peoples was reported missing by his caregiver on Thursday afternoon. He was last seen walking away from the home in the 194000 block of Strathmoor Street in Detroit.

Mark Sanchez's Mantra: 'Whatever It Takes'Posted by on July 26, 2011 – 4:18 pm
The Jets were clearly back in business today and Mark Sanchez said, "It's on."
In his first appearance at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in more than four months, the Green & White's franchise signalcaller indicated he's open to rework his contract in order to provide some cap relief while bracing for the possibility that either Santonio Holmes or Braylon Edwards will walk away in free agency.
Sanchez, who reportedly inked a five-year contract worth more than $44.5 million (including $28 million guaranteed) back in June 2009, is committed to helping his team during this all-important free agency period.
"Whatever it takes," he said this afternoon, adding of the free agency/trading period ahead, "And that's Mr. Tannenbaum's and Mr. Johnson's and Rex's — that's like their third-down conversion. That's them trying to throw a touchdown pass, that's them getting a sack. That's what we do on the field — well, this is what they do in the offseason. I know they'll position us and acquire the best talent we possibly can with the finances we have."
Prepared to help the team with its financial bottom line, Sanchez is clearly open to all options.
"But whatever it takes," he reiterated. "Whether it's adjusting contracts, delaying payment — whatever we have to do. Our team will do it. I know that and we'll be unselfish with that, so we'll get it figured out."
And Sanchez didn't stop with himself.
"Whatever we need to do, it's on. And I think our whole team feels that way," he said. "Revis, me, whoever. It doesn't matter, so we'll do whatever we can."
While it may not be possible to keep both Holmes and Edwards in green and white, Sanchez realizes it's highly unlikely. He didn't wait long to place more responsibility on his shoulders heading into his third season.
"It was such a luxury to have both of them last year and it's almost unrealistic to have that kind of a receiving corps again," he said. "But whichever guys we get back, it's going to be them playing really well and me getting even better — upping my completion percentage, being more accurate, things like that, throwing less interceptions and more touchdowns. That will help us well whether we have Santonio, Braylon and Brad [Smith] or one of the three, two of the three, whatever it is. It's a matter of both sides getting better."
Even though Sanchez wasn't able to work with the Jets' offensive coaches during the offseason, his growth as a leader was noticeable. He again held a "Jets West" camp out in his native Southern California and he also was one of the ringleaders of "Camp Lockout" back here in New Jersey.
"Physically this offseason is the best I've worked out and prepared for a season. I'm in great shape. I feel wonderful, I feel great," he said. "The mental side, I think that first year having all that time with coaches during my rehab really helped. And this year that lack of it, we're going to have to squeeze some of that during the first few weeks of camp."
Winning is on Sanchez's mind and it is indeed on.
"Whatever it takes to win. If that's throwing the ball left-handed and that's going to make us win, fine, I'll throw the ball left-handed. It doesn't matter," he said. "We need to win. We'll get the right players and we'll tell them everything we need to tell them that's true and we'll move on from there."

It's a shame the likes of Holmes and Cromartie don't feel the same. They are selfish, greedy players who aire just interested in the money. I just heard Holmes signed with Washington. Have fun not making the platoffs!

As you all know, I think Sanchez has to become an elite QB during his 5-yr deal or he could be shown the door, especially if they like what McElroy shows. But one point on which I've never criticized MS is his classy attitude and this is more evidence of it. As I've said, he never takes individual credit for anything, always praises his teammates instead, and now he's saying he's even willing to give up some of his own money to get the right guys onto the team. It'll be a cold day in hell before even Manning or Brady say that — and the teams those guys play for could sure use some more of the right guys. I wish Bill up in NE luck in getting all those draft picks ready to play in September.

I have been very critical of Sanchez but he is a stand up guy if he restructures his contract in a way that lets us sign some players. Get it done Mark.
By Jet Fan Since '64 Tom on Jul 26, 2011 | Reply
You heard it here first, or at least among the first: The Skins locking up Moss for that kind of money over three yrs means they called Holmes and he said call me back when you've got a QB. Also, Arte just told me that we've signed Hunter for four yrs. so it looks like Woody will hang it up. Good luck to him, he was great for us, but the movement toward youth on both lines, especially D but also O, is long overdue. And to think some thought it was a mistake to release Faneca…

Hey santonio, better check to see how the Skins were for Coles before inking that contract!!!! If u really want to win, stay here baby!!!! Rex & Mark are winners and DC is filled with losers, which one are you?
By IRA on Jul 26, 2011 | Reply
Lou, I always thought Sanchez and probably Revis will restructure. They will still get their money just in bonus' instead to clear cap room. Same said for Harris once he signs his longterm deal It will create cap space for them. Don't be surprised if they cut and resign Thomas and ask Pace to restructure.
No disrespect to Woody but too many health risks and always thought Hunter was the better option. Glad to see they weren't afraid to say Ducasse is just not ready yet.
Hunter will be their RT for the next 2-3 years.

The Newark Star-Ledger confirms the Jets have "reached out" to free agent Nnamdi Asomugha.
This comes on the heels of an earlier report from ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Jets plan to "make a run at" Asomugha to pair him with Darrelle Revis. Multiple reports suggest Asomugha is willing to leave money on the table to sign with playoff contender, and Rex Ryan's squad fits the bill.

The Jets have reportedly extended a long-term contract offer to free agent Santonio Holmes.
The Jets extended the offer just as the Redskins locked up Santana Moss. ESPN New York's Rich Cimini predicts the Jets will "wrap up" a deal with Holmes within 48 hours. GM Mike Tannenbaum has made it clear that Holmes is his priority.

The New York Daily News reports free agent OT Damien Woody has opted to retire.
Woody was only going to play for the Jets. He must not have liked what he heard from the team earlier in the day. Coming off a torn Achilles at age 33, he was a poor bet to land a guaranteed deal. Woody began his career as a two-time Super Bowl champ and Pro Bowl center with the Patriots and ended it as a dominant run-blocking right tackle. Sandwiched in between was a disappointing four-year run as a guard in Detroit. Woody is expected to pursue a career in television.

The Jets are trying to re-sign free agent S Eric Smith.
Smith's experience in the scheme is paramount, and he's made starts for Rex Ryan before. The New York Daily News does report that Smith is weighing offers from other clubs. The Jets currently have an opening at free safety. It's unclear whether they're interested in re-signing incumbent Brodney Pool
By Tom Spicer on Jul 26, 2011 | Reply
Jets agreed to terms with OT Wayne Hunter on a four-year, $13 million contract.
Coach Rex Ryan called Hunter the best backup tackle in the league late last season, so the Jets clearly value him as an insurance policy. Hunter figures to slot in as the swing tackle again this year. The 30-year-old also doubles as a blocking tight end in "jumbo" offensive formations.

Aw man, I just viewed a video on NFL.com regarding Jets free agency, I knew before that it was not possible to re-sign our star players, but the analysts are now making it seem even more highly unlikely. This worries me a lot, I was hoping out of the 3 WR's, we could have at least kept two. I hope its Santonio Holmes, he is the all around best WR in free agency and possibly all of the NFL. What can't this guy do, great route-runner, runs great slants, quick, vertical threat, super bowl MVP! This is a must deal for gang green, I'm just sick of the Redskins sticking their nose in this, hope Holmes rejects them right away. Jets should have signed some of these players to lucrative contracts last season. Well, at least should have locked in one

With confirmation we're talking all night to Holmes and going after Aso, a strategy comes into view: Sign a few big players who have broad impact on their units (SH on O, Aso on D), add a few mid-range FA guys, split the difference on other vets (Kris Brown back to challenge Folk, Conley vs. W'ford?), and except for Wilkerson tell rookies "Sorry, don't know how much you'll play this yr so here's what's left re $." Lesser FA's, rookies, and UFA's will take less to be a Jet and if you gotta pay big for a few big guys, fine. This all sounds like a typically aggressive Mr. T plan, especially in a yr in which there will be 2 kinds of teams, those that think they're close (us, BAL, PHI) and those that will rebuild (MIA, BUF, SEA). GO MR. T!

Still wondering if it's about the money? If it isn't then what? All the hrs of lifting and running for 4yrs of glory and a lifetime of pain?…. The Asoumugh thing sounds good and the smart thing to do is explore it, but they're just driving up the price for Houston. I believe it when I see it……..Just as rumors of DC wooing Holmes drives up his value…..Hunter performed well enough to prove he could replace Woody. Besides how could they go wrong with a guy named Wayne………………The more of their own guys they can keep the bigger the jump they get on the season. Sanchez restructuring will help there.

According to MLive.com's Tom Kowalski, free agent Nnamdi Asomugha wants to play for the Jets.
Kowalski is a Lions reporter, but he's presumably done digging on Asomugha because Detroit has so often been connected to this year's premier free agent. That digging apparently led Kowalski to believe Asomugha wants to play in New York. There have been several other indications this is the case, so it isn't a crazy notion. If Asomugha is willing to take a discount to play in the destination he covets, the marriage could very well happen

A few days ago I posted Hunter as our number one signing priority and I am very happy TanWoody did not waste anytime locking him up. This was one of the most important signings we had to make now the o-line is solid.
We need to sign E. Smith and Pool next followed by Coleman.
TanWoody should not waste too much time with Holmes if he starts playing games and the first sign he is using the Jets as leverage I think they should go full court on Edwards we absolutely can not lose both.
Cowboys are releasing Williams if we lose both Edwards and Holmes he presents an intersting option. As for Asomugha this is nothing more than fantasy unless he sticks around long enough and we lose Holmes and Edwards. We dont have the money.
By Frank on Jul 27, 2011 | Reply
TanWoody have locked up Holmes that is obviously great news… I was worried his agent Segal was going to play games. It wouldn't surprise me if we sign R. Moss who has the same agent. I doubt we can afford Edwards at this point. Deoending on the deal I have a feeling Tanwoody is going to get Asomugha especially if he and his agent feel confident he can land some endorsement contracts being in the New York market to make up the difference in lost income from signing with the Jets.

Holmes signs in a day, Jets emerge as dead serious about Aso who wants to play for us…ho hum, just another day in the annals of "Don't Doubt '64 Tom." Seriously, I've been wrong about many things and will be again, but I wasn't wrong about Mr. T, with a lot of prodding I'm sure from Rex, refusing to give in to negativity or wimpiness when it comes to signing a few of the really big guns. And here's something else a few of us were right about, especially with regard to McElroy's chances with this team: Clemens accepts a 1-yr deal with the Skins. Good for him, he might benefit from a change of scene. But I knew SH wasn't so all about the benjamins as to play for a Skins team with Beck and KC at QB, no matter what $ they dangled before him.

My respect for MS has grown tremendously. I hope he can improve his completion % by 10 points, or more, then our O will be unstoppable.
Now if we can get Asomugha, our D will be impenetrable. With that combination we can start dreaming about a Super Bowl. If my D"backs can complete their stunning turnaround and make the post-season I'll be in sports heaven :)

sillwayne1 owes SH an apology. I understand he left some $ on the table because he wants to play like a Jet. Aso is reported to be willing to take less $ to play with a contender. BE is said to be willing to take less $ to stay a Jet. Is this 21st century America? As for MS willingness to restructure contract to help team. Someone said that's unprecedented but I remember Pennington doing the same to bring back LC. I love the team spirit these guys are showing.

What I meant about Sanchez's gesture being virtually ("virtually" meaning almost, not cyberland) unprecedented, Ed, is I can't remember such a young QB who's gotten such a huge deal offering to give any $ back so early in his career. But I appreciate your pointing out how Holmes, Edwards, and now even Aso are apparently ready to take less $ to be Jets. So take that, you posters who told me and others all last fall that it's all about $, nobody will sign with the Jets just to play for Rex or on our D, etc. And I have a feeling that the three guys Ed just listed are the tip of the iceberg. If Aso will take less $ to play for us, I can't even imagine how badly guys like Antwan Barnes, Stephen Tulloch, and Dawan Landry would want to be Jets.

Tom, I understand what you mean but I gotta send Chad some love. He lacked the arm strength to be an elite QB but he's a fine human being. I remember reading late last season that Asomugha said he'd like to play for the Jets. I'm confident that he'll be a Jet before today is over. If it comes down to a choice between BE & BS, I think BS would be a better value. I'm sure his price tag would be lower & he's more versatile. Even at the same price, BS is a better deal, specially since we already have SH. I dunno what to think about signing Randy Moss. I like his size & speed, that's about all the positive things I can say about him. He might be able to toe the line for 1 yr to get a SB ring. I'm getting ready for some football!

A piece of Civil War history is on display at an Oshkosh museum.
In 1861, as a call to arms reached Oshkosh, three companies began to emerge, including one formed by John W. Scott.
Oshkosh Public Museum curator Debra Daubert says women in the area gathered all the silk they could find to create American flags. They hand-stitched 34 stars onto a flag in no particular pattern. Before they left for war, the flag was presented to Scott's men, who would help form the 3rd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry.
Museum archivist Scott Cross says after the flag left Oshkosh, there are no further records until the Scott family donated the flag to the museum in the 1920s.
Later, WLUK-TV says a conservator would spend a year painstakingly restoring it. It's on display through next April.

Post subject: Mauler issues
First off, these are not my issues -- a member of our group cannot get on the forum, so I'm posting on his behalf.
1. On the Lyran mauler, are the two lines two separate weapons? (I pointed out to him the description of the D-6M having two lines for artistic purposes, but he'd like to know for sure. I think he's wanting to shoot into two separate arcs, but that's a whole other matter).
2. Is the mauler (or was it ever) an "area" weapon? He was taught (not by us) that the mauler affects all targets within the firing arc. I'd like to know what else he was taught
I'm going to duck now
Dang it, I want that PPD installed NOW!

The Lines aren't exactly the weapon, just a conduit, the actual weapon is the batteries (engines), along with whatever translates the power into the proper energy which goes out through the conduit ---
That portion can't be destroyed, just the power source --
1. To answer the question of whether each conduit is a separate part, look and see if all power sources are connected to an individual conduit, or if separate power sources go to different conduits ---
2. No the mauler effect only goes to what is targeted, ship/fighter/shuttle/drone ----
No need to duck, they are good questions, not everyone gets the gisp of things the first time around --- You want to know what is correct, that's the point of questions ---

1. The lines are totally irrelevant, and are purely artistic. A mauler is a single weapon that can fire multiple times a turn, but only once in an impulse. The mauler weapon will always have a very specific, universal arc.
2. A mauler is not an "area of effect" weapon. A mauler weapon will always have a single target in a given impulse.

I still think (and I know/hope it's being considered for inclusion in

However I have already made this point in this thread

It is one weapon able to fire multiple times.
It affects one target, not all targets.
The firing arc cannot be changed, doesn't need to be changed, and will not be changed. It's the SFB firing arc. There is no reason for the FC one to be any different. However, there are actually THREE mauler firing arcs and rules to make sure you're using the one you need.

I would contest that of course it can be changed. In your universe, you are the Designer, the Almighty, the Creator (no blasphemy intended!) - you can do what you like.
The latter two points (doesn't need - will not) are your decisions as Creator, if you will. Fair enough, it will not be changed; but this is not because you
do it. You can do whatever you like, it's your game!

Kang do you understand why the Mauler cannot have its Firing Arcs changed?
The Mauler is, to the best of my recollection, the only true bore-sighted weapon in the game. Because the hex based enviroment makes true bore-sighting almost impossible. The mauler was given a option of choosing one of three different 15

The mauler should only be used within a large fleet as a fire support ship. Even with the narrow firing arc there should be targets of opportunity when fighting a large fleet, the challenge is to hit the key ships. Also it is the responsibility of the rest of the fleet to corral the enemy ships for the mauler's narrow arc.
I don't know if anyone is trying to fly a mauler in a squadron (or smaller) action. If so, then I would expect the mauler to be ineffective with its narrow firing arc since it is not designed for such circumstances.

The mauler arc does have to be consistent, for compatibility with SFB.
In any case, maulers are very 'niche' ships. They are great for base busting with Klingons and Lyrans, because the K's and L's don't have a lot of one-hit-crunch weapons like plasma torpedoes or photons. When dealing with a base, you want to smash down the shield and the armour in one hit if you can.

With respect, Terry, why? It's a different game.

I agree with Kang, same concept, but different game.
There is no reason why they couldn't have different and less fiddly arcs, especially ones that don't have any requirements to explicity link movement with arc.
Other fiddly arcs were left out of SFB - directly rear firing klingon/fed phasers.
FedCom has a big difference to SFB, namely 4 sub pulses between firings. During those 4 subpulses you could have slipped left then right and fired pretty much across all of FA. Getting into rules linking movement to firing arc across 4 subpulses (be it after or before firing) is just far to fiddly for this game.
The best ranges for a mauler are up to 0-2 then 3-5 hexes, at those very close ranges against a decent opponent it can be awkward at the best of times to keep FA, never mind a more narrow arc. They are not going to gain a huge amount compared with SFB by giving them FA, but could be far more crippled than in even SFB by leaving them with narrow arcs.
So I'd say just give them FA. It better fits in with the 4 subpulse system, never mind the geometry of hexes.

Because it's the same universe.

Speedhunters has an excellent write-up right here on why they, and you, and your mother, and everyone you know all love Trans Am. »
Houston, we have lift-off!
To say that I want a Trans Am GTA is an understatement. Now that I have a fun semi-DD that I'll baby, I'm already starting to dream of when the time comes in a few years when I'll be able to afford an RWD hoonmobile as my second car. Oh and this is from a Youtube video, which you'll find after the jump! »
Watch A Pontiac Trans Am And A Mitsubishi Evo Run The Same Autocross
When the folks at OPTIMA sent me over a preview of the Ultimate Street Car Invitational running on SPEED last month I was amused to see two of the very different cars running were a Bandit Trans-Am and a 2003 Mitsubishi Evo. Few competitions would pair those cars together, least of all on an autocross. »
The New Hurst Trans Am Will Make Your Life Exponentially More Awesome
Are you one of those sad, lonely people whose life isn't worth living anymore because GM no longer makes the Pontiac Trans Am? Well, don't let the lack of a modern Pontiac version of the new Camaro (or even the lack of Pontiac, for that matter) get you down — this Florida company has you covered. »
'The IROC-Z Corners Hard, Brakes Quickly, And Really Hauls The Mail'
Prepare yourselves, fans of MotorWeek. I'm about to show you the greatest thing you will see all week. Let's take a trip back to 1985 for this comparo between a Ford Mustang GT 5.0, a Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z, and a Pontiac Trans-Am. »
Real Joe Biden Calls Out Fake Joe Biden Over Corvette V. Trans-Am Love
In perhaps one of the most Bidenesque moments ever, the Corvette-loving real Vice President of the United States Joe Biden called out the fake Trans-Am-loving version of himself from The Onion, who at this moment is giving a real fake iAMA on Reddit. If you're from 1990 and are browsing Jalopnik through a wormhole on… »
Take A Look At The Muscle Car Wars Circa 1985
While compared with the high horsepower cars of the late 1960s or today's modern muscle these muscle offerings from 1985 might seem a little tame, they were the most impressive performers that had rolled out of Detroit in sometime. »
What April Fools Day Automotive Headline Do You Want To Read?
Instead of wowing you with our story about the return of the Pontiac Aztec for 2015 or reporting this time the El Camino is actually returning to the US for real (we would never actually joke about such a thing) this April Fools Day we want to hear your idea of the perfect fake automotive story. »
Pay Your Respects at Japan's Random Muscle-Car Graveyard
Daniel O'Grady, an Australian into exploring old Japanese castles, happened upon this random sadness pile in Kurume City on Kyushu island. It's definitely a five-hanky lot of cars gone to seed, though rife with rusty-muscle-car porn. »
Destroy traffic lights with the 1998 Pontiac Trans Am
For 1998 Pontiac gave the Trans Am a facelift and put the previously Corvette only LS1 engine under the hood. The result was an aggressively styled muscle car with the looks and power to make traffic lights fall from the sky—at least that is the story Pontiac was selling. »
Proof car dealerships were a pretty rough place to be in 1980
Nothing says 1980 like a car lot with almost nothing someone in the cult of the automotive obsessed can drool over. Times were dark in the automotive world in 1980—the malaise era was in full swing and there weren't many cars to get excited about. »
1979 Pontiac Firebird Formula was a sophisticated breed of 'bird
Several decades later sophistication is hardly the word that comes to mind when you think about Pontiac Firebirds from the late 1970s, but that is the angle they were using to sell the Firebird Formula back in 1979. »
For $39,500, scream like a chicken
Revisiting past glories can sometime end up sullying not just the visitor, but the original memory. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe 1979 Trans Am attempts to make the car what its predecessors once were, but does its price mean throwing your money down its past-glory hole? »
Man who survived 100-mph flying Trans Am crash good, thanks for asking
Brennen Eden, 20, was the driver who survived a horrific 100-mph crash outside Dayton, Ohio, last August that obliterated his Trans Am. After months of rehab and an upcoming appearance on National Geographic's "Indestructibles," Eden says he doesn't react anymore to the stunning footage of his crash. But he doesn't… »
Watch the last brand new 1979 Pontiac Trans Am sell at auction
A few weeks ago we told about what would likely be the last chance to ever buy a brand new 1979 Pontiac Trans Am from the showroom floor. Last Saturday the car left the Indiana showroom where it spent the last 32 years after one deep pocketed Pontiac enthusiast paid $85,000 for the Trans Am. For that sum the new… »
One last chance at a brand new 1979 Pontiac Trans Am from the showroom…
If you've ever wondered what a brand new 32 year old car looks like feast your eyes on this 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Next month this ultra low mileage Pontiac will finally leave the showroom where it has spent the majority of the last three decades, giving one lucky buyer the chance to buy a brand new '79 Trans Am. »
Surf's Way, Way Up
Hip Hop's Worst Knight Rider Tribute
What happens when you hire a director to make a Knight Rider-themed music video who has never seen Knight Rider? You get Curren$y's NSFW video for "Micheal Knight." Mean hook aside, is it that hard to find a Trans Am? »
Biden's Beloved Trans Am Makes New York Times
The New York Times is finally reporting on something even The Onion's already covered — Vice President Joe Biden's penchant for washing his beloved Pontiac on the driveway of the White House. The man just loves showin' those cannons. [NYT] »

Yeah, in 1936 sneakers existed. Converse Chucks started somewhere around 1919. I grew up about 30 miles South of Jackson, Ohio and 21 years later.
He doesn't know it yet, but it's 1936 and in a few years he'll be wearing combat fatigues. I can't help but wonder if he survived to 1945.
Jeans were invented during the California gold rush (1849).
Funny how teenagers looked just as surly then as they do today
A guy wearing jeans and sneakers in 1936?

Milk and prostate cancer
RichardEvans July 21, 2010 Diet, Media Coverage 1 Comment
Tags: daily mail, milk, prostate cancer
You may have read an article in the Daily Mail about a new study suggesting drinking lots of milk increases risk of prostate cancer.
Here's the interpretation of Dr Rachel Thompson, Deputy Head of Science for World Cancer Research Fund:
"This study has relied on people remembering how much milk they drank over a long period of time, so we cannot be sure how reliable this is. It is also worth pointing out that when it refers to a doubling of prostate cancer risk, that is in people who drank almost one-and-a-half pints of milk a day, which is quite … Continue Reading

"Williams has presented me with countless opportunities to both enrich my community and to self-reflect. As an Eph, I have been bitten with the travel bug as I strive to save the world one country at a time. Thank you for your amazing contributions to my education."
Alex Manter '13
"As I reluctantly approach graduation, I cannot help but reflect on my all-too-short time at Williams. The last four years have been simply incredible, and I know they never would have been possible without the Alumni Fund and the kindness and generosity of alumni like yourself."
Allison Wu '16
"These are the last four years of my life when learning, both inside and outside the classroom, is my only responsibility. Thank you so much for your gift to the Alumni Fund. It's the Eph community, with alumni like you, who make these four years some of the best of our lives."
Lindsay Thygesen '14
"Outside the classroom, artistic performances, sporting events, and student organizations illustrate the multifaceted nature of the typical Williams student. As an editor for the Williams Record, I not only have had the opportunity to immerse myself in the arts, sports, and news that make up campus life, but I have also had the chance to work with a great group of people that have encouraged me to grow and develop as a person."
Meredith Sopher '14
"I chose Williams in part because my dad is an alumnus and constantly waxes rhapsodic about his time here. Most of his closest friends are people he met during his first year of college. "Just wait until you get to Williams and start making friends!" my dad told me after I received my acceptance. Now that I'm an Eph, I can honestly say that my friends play a tremendous role in making my Williams experience the best ever."
Pat Megley '14
"I've begun to realize that an education is not just about one class, or even four years in one place: it is the beginning of a lifelong process of discovery that will take me in many, often unexpected, directions. That, for me, is the gift of being a student at Williams."
Annie Longobardo '14
"It was my first English class at Williams and the first day I was intimidated by the strong group of women sitting around the seminar table. But that group of thirteen women became my close friends, with all of us learning about each other and ourselves; this is one of the things I love about Williams: friendship can appear in surprising places."
Richard Beaton '14
"The most amazing aspects of Williams are the opportunities outside the classroom. I've been lucky enough to make the football and track and field teams where I've bonded with my teammates and made friendships which will last long past my days here. The overwhelming feeling of acceptance and belonging makes Williams a special place to me. The professors are willing to find time to work one on one if requested and, no matter what sport it is, the coaches know your academics take priority…"
Anna Marrs '13
"This is the reason that Williams is and has been so special to me. Each person on campus finds a smaller community in his or her own niche, which creates strong feelings of belonging….It is these connections which make Williams such a vibrant community, of which you and I will always be a part, as these bonds and relationships transcend the four years spent in the beautiful Berkshires. Thank you. Your support helps make this place continue to be such a welcoming home and allows us each to find the place where we truly feel we belong."
Aimee Dennett '13
"My Williams education, made possible in part by your gift, will follow me through life. Thank you so much for helping Williams continue to provide amazing opportunities for my classmates and for me."

This image is pretty far along in the fading that bedevils color photography. The modern view hints at what it looked like originally.
The kind of shot that John Ford would have used. Everything seems to go on forever.

Can you scare up a shot of the Westbound track?
