" like they annoy me"
gosh...i'm in trouble...
where's elton john when i need him ??
can you feel the love tonight...
This time it was the exhibitors that took a stand against the overreaction against guns. The largest outdoors exhibition in North America was cancelled after exhibitors started boycotting the decision to ban the sale of modern sporting arms and high capacity magazines from the show. Many that visited the show also involved people looking to ask questions and get answers about defensive protection, in addition to the outdoors interests. I always went for the fishing exhibitions. Looks like many of us will just go to Cabela's now and spend our money there instead. The majority of support here from outdoor enthusiasts, from what I can contend, is behind the exhibitors bold decision.
I just thought I would stop in this thread to add this link. I did not know the different terminology for the weapons.
Hot off the press and as promised, you can read more about how to get Steve's piece in the News forum.
And a reminder to anyone who thinks they have to have a Kindle, you can download their free reader app at their site to read it on other devices. You will still need to purchase Steve's piece regardless of which device you're using.
I've started a thread in the Non-Fiction forum if anyone wants to discuss the essay. Here's the link.
In another thread, mention was made of an article presented recently by the Huffington Post, and a lively (but off-topic) discussion ensued. I just wanted to toss in my two cents, but I thought I'd do it in this here thread.
From the Huffington Post article: "But Keller disagrees - fewer guns won't make for a safer society, he said. "The solution is not to take away our guns," Keller said. "Personal safety is everyone's responsibility, and if we're armed we can be forces of good in the world even when the police aren't present." Keller said his customers are stocking up in fear of new legislation curbing gun ownership."
Not to reduce the discussion to invective, but it seems to me the advocates for weapons proliferation are using the same rationale and employing the same logic that, in the past, lead to massive arms build ups (all predictably encouraged by the folks who were actually manufacturing the arms and profiting from tehir sales); having fallen into the logical fallacy of conflict escalation, there's a inevitable tendency towards the big badda boom. Consequently, the notion that "more guns" will somehow be a sound solution is akin to the adopting the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) as a "best fit" solution, having wisely rejected the notion that widespread nuclear war would be a sound (if not ultimate) solution to the arms race.
(As an aside, Carl Sagan addressed the topic of MAD in an open letter to the American public wherein he observed that: It is now almost 40 years since the invention of nuclear weapons. We have not yet experienced a global thermonuclear war — although on more than one occasion we have come tremulously close. I do not think our luck can hold forever. Men and machines are fallible, as recent events remind us. Fools and madmen do exist, and sometimes rise to power. Concentrating always on the near future, we have ignored the long-term consequences of our actions. We have placed our civilization and our species in jeopardy. Sagan also understood the stability-instability paradox, and would likely have been quick to point out that with arms proliferation, the likelihood of unintended consequences (such as the Newtown shootings) would continue to increase).How to avoid each and every inevitable tragedy? Conflict theory suggests the creation of a "common cause" mindset (that fosters the avoidance of conflict) is essential. Instead of engaging aggression (and consequential escalation) peacemaking - through nonviolent conflict resolution - must become the direct action, rather than a indirect goal. I believe it was Gandhi, a major proponent of nonviolent confrontation, who first observed that retributive systems of justice (such as the old notions that held an eye for an eye was just) and the desire to inflict punishment, even when grievously wronged, was more likely to lead to further conflict rather than resolution of conflict. Recent history tends to affirm his observation - we now live in a world where when first strike options appear tactically appealing, they're used.
As for the notion of gun-toting citizens being a force for good, I'm certain George Zimmerman (the person who took the life of Trayvon Martin) continues to believe this of himself: he was the good guy; Martin the villian. By extension, currently, in North Korea and Iran, the villain remains the United States, and so they justify their respective arms development programs. While the ethics and morality (not to mention sanity) of these notions can be endlessly debated, the outcome is almost certain: sooner or later antagonists will come to blows. I suppose the individual with the bigger gun (and the country with the bigger bomb) will come out the winner, but at what cost?

Graduate Academic Catalog 2011-2012
To protect public safety, each state establishes laws to license engineers who are responsible for decisions that affect public health and safety. The licensing process involves formal education, two written examinations, appropriate work experience, and recommendations by professionals in the field. The two written examinations consist of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and the Principles and Practices of Engineering (PE).
The requirements for a Professional Engineer vary by state, and not all states allow engineering technology graduates to seek licensure. However, it is possible for engineering technology graduates to become Professional Engineers in Georgia and many other states. In Georgia, students completing a bachelor's degree in engineering technology may take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam in the senior year of study. After accumulating the requisite number of years of appropriate work experience, an engineering technology graduate who has passed the FE exam is eligible to take the PE exam in Georgia or other states in which they are eligible for licensure.
Any student with a goal of becoming a Professional Engineer should contact their faculty advisor for additional information.

YouTube - Bear in my stand
Had I been in that stand, that bear would have been shot when it grabbed the tree.
Way too close.
Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too close!!

I wouldn't have let it get THAT close without taking some kind of action. I've seen black bears go up a tree trunk quicker than a squirrel; he would have got a warning pistol shot into the ground when he was about 10-20 feet from the base of the tree.
He never would have gotten all the way up into my stand anyway, not with all that yellow and brown stuff falling on his head...
But now I know why they make those platforms and seats out of wire mesh. So they drain and dry-out promptly.
"Placement is power" -- seen in an article by Stephen A. Camp
(RIP, Mr. Camp; you will be remembered, and missed)
Wow, That's the best nature-video I've seen in awhile...
Help me understand something. Is that guy filming the bear the baddest, meanest, toughest, nothing scares me hunter, or is he insane? The bear was well past me safe comfort zone. That guy should work (and get paid) for NatGeo filming wildlife.
One vote here for insane.
Or really, REALLY laid-back. Tranquilized-type. TOO calm.
Maybe there was just a ready-to-go shotgun we couldn't see in the vid.
All I can say to the camera man is touche....I wouldn't have been able to stay as calm as he did...although I am betting it wasn't his first time looking into the eyes of a bear.
I'm guessing the bow is all he had, else he would have put a bullet between his eyes.
If all I had was a bow, I'm thinking I would not have wanted to risk shooting him, especially from an awkward shooting stance. Not that he couldn't kill the bear, but the bear could have put a good deal of hurt on the guy before he bled out.
By the time the bear gets right up in his face, and he probably does then wish he had shot him, it's too late (with a bow).
Hoooooly s***. Was he waiting for the bear to wander up to get scratched behind the ears??
I've seen them in the woods but there is no freakin' way I would let one get that close to me. One swipe and it is over.
Just my $.02

Im not sure of the clearance needed for a round like this. the more clearance the easyier it will feed BUT the less accurate it will be and the more the brass will get worked. I figure it would be very wise to consult a reamer manufacturer at that point. I am thinking also that IF I have a reamer made I may have it done with out a throat and ream the throat seperatly with a $30 throating reamer that way I can adjust barrels down the road to work with differant seat depths and free bore dimensions.
By the way I did not have to aneal the rounds made from 30-06 it was once fired remington brass. The 308 brass I have is military and the base is slightly bigger .469 vs .465 of the 06 brass. 308 brass could likely be used if the neck and throat were anealed and expanded straight as the neck area will be needed. just thought it was worth mentioning.
I also made one round out of some 270 brass and it was the same as the 06.
the beauty of this round is that any casing with a .465-.470 base can be made to work if it is 1.850 or longer. making it easy to find brass and a lot cheaper to shoot than the 450 BM 458 SCOM 50 BEOWULF!!!
the only down side to this round is limited bullet selection vs the .458 and a very slight powder capacity loss. From what I can tell the other round like the 458 scom are clasifed as pistol round are not that HOT to begin with so I dont expect to see much differance in MV and energy. in fact the 44 is likely to have a better MV especially with the lighter bullets it CAN use that the others cant.

Does anyone know what Michelle Obama's BMI is?Print this post
The First Lady stole the whole MyPlate concept from Eatdrinkmovethink.com's Fudoo Boards - outright stole it and took credit for it. Only thing is, the Fudoo Boards are for kids to learn about nutrition.
MO claims the food choices Americans make is what's causing this "obesity epidemic" - has she taken the time to address the high percentage of glutens added to pretty much any food purchased on the inside perimeters of a grocery store? Is she even remotely aware that glutens are added to foods simply to increase one's appetite - inducing hunger even after eating an hour before? Why does she think glutens are also added to pet food? Animals do not need wheat gluten - it makes them eat more. Has she addressed the issue of the high percentages of high fructose corn syrup added to just about everything manufactured in the US?
Has she taken the time to address why Allura Red AC is still permitted in all of our manufactured foods including children's food, candy and medications? When it is a *known* carcinogen? Has she made the public aware it is even in flavored yogurts?
Has she taken the time to investigate why all of our wheat and grains grown in the USA is genetically engineered to withstand enormous amounts of pesticides - aka "Roundup Ready" - which basically means these grains are genetically modified to blow up in an insects stomach causing them to explode? Blow up in your stomach? Anyone have that problem?
Has she taken the time to research the growth hormones pumped into our dairy cattle (approved by the USDA) and estrogens - what effect that has on our population? And she's suggesting even more dairy - when this is what's causing our young tween boys to grow breasts like Anna Nicole Smith? More dairy, Michelle? Really?
Let us know, would you please? And perhaps take a look over at OpenSecrets.Org and see how much the above industries have pumped into the Obama machine.
Nah, you can keep MyPlate, Michelle - we really don't like to eat stolen goods.

Pesticides are a problem for members of the animal kingdom...plants are not effected by pesticides and consequently not genetically engineered to resist them... Almost all pesticides are neurotoxins (specifically phosphodiesterase inhibitors) ... Plants don't have a nervous system or a brain ... And roundup ... That's an herbicide... Expend some mental energy... Look up the mechanism of action of roundup...
Ignorance and ignorant rants subvert the rational concerns we should really be addressing.

Local writer debuts first book 'Tabloid Tabby'Written by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
English was never Terry James' strongest subject in school, but he remembers a writing class in junior high where, for an assignment, he wrote a short story about an underground, apocalyptic world.
"Writing has always been something I wanted to do, [but] I always struggled with it," James said.
James' love of storytelling has followed him to his adult life. His first book "Tabloid Tabby: The Hunchback of Eerie County High School" is being released and storylines for two sequels are already inching out of his brain and onto a Microsoft Word document.
The book follows Tabby in her race against the clock to save the most popular boy in school, who has turned into a deformed, hunchbacked monster.
"I was just at a grocery store one day and I happened to glance over at a couple of the tabloid papers that they sold," James said. "I'm just kind of looking at them like 'What would happen if those actually were true?'"
James, who works as a cable installation technician, would spend breaks in his workday at Starbucks.
"There were some times that I walked in without a penny to my name," James said. "[The crew] knew why I was there, they knew what I was doing [and] they knew the potential behind it."
Once the crew allowed James to just order water and write in the coffee shop for hours.
"I'm so glad they were cordial enough to let me sit here for as long as I did," he said.
"Tabloid Tabby" is intended for ages 13 and up. James said he wanted to write a young adult novel for his first book to get "warmed up" as a writer.
"Starting off with a young adult [novel] is a comfortable spot for me just for the fact that I can keep it clean, I can keep it light and I think I can reach a bigger audience that way," James said.
One fan of the book is his 14-year-old son, who enjoyed it for the twists and cliffhangers. James said it feels good to know his kids support his writing.
"The job I have works me a lot of hours; I mean, I'm gone a lot. I leave at 5, 6 o'clock in the morning and I don't get home till 8 or 9 at night. The kids barely see me," James said. "They don't really know me too well is what my major fear is. One of my motivations in writing the book is maybe it does do well, and if that were the case I'd be able to spend more time with [them]."
James was raised in Toledo. He now resides in Deshler with his wife and five children, ages 3, 5, 9, 14 and 15.
James has been working on the book for three years. Midway through, when he had about 80 pages of the 168-page novel written, his laptop was stolen and the documents were not backed up.
"Everything I wrote just basically fluttered out in the wind," James said. "I was getting depressed about it for a while."
James managed to save 30 pages from his wife's email archives and started over from there.
The book is dedicated to his father, who died last December.
"I think my father lived a life he had to lead, but I don't think he really lived a life he wanted to lead. … I don't think things turned out the way he wanted them to," James said. "Another part of the motivation in writing this was because I didn't want to end up like that. I didn't want my end days to look back and say 'I could've, should've, would've.'"
The book will be a three-part series; James is 30 percent done with the second installment. If all goes well, he has an idea for another three-part series that would take place within Eerie County, the same fictional county the Tabloid Tabby books are set. He's currently working with the book's illustrator Adam Zunk on artwork for the rest of the series.
The book is available now at www.publishamerica.net/product53691 and Amazon for $19.79. It will also soon be available at Barnes & Noble.

Tucson's 'Ben's Bells' project helps Newtown heal
A Tucson support group is helping Connecticut residents heal after the December school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary. They are doing so by ringing Ben's Bells.
Jeannette Mar� is the founder of the Ben's Bells project. She created Ben's Bells in honor of her son, Ben, who died in 2002. He was almost 3.
"Anytime anyone would do an act of kindness for me, something as simple as opening the door for me, these gestures were completely live-saving for me," she said. And so she began the project to tell people how much their kindness meant. Now she's taking that kindness to Newtown, Conn.
On Jan.8, Mar� along with 100 volunteers, hung 1,000 colorful ceramic Ben's Bells all across Newtown.
"We received story after story of what the bells meant to the community," Mar� said. "They're just beautiful."
After many requests to bring more bells and to keep the spirit of kindness in Newtown, Mar� is going back on Sunday to form a new chapter in the grief-stricken town.
Mar� said she'll be going into school and community centers to train volunteers on how to make the bells. She hopes once momentum builds and enough funds are raised, there will be a studio in Newtown where people can express themselves as well as use art to cope with their grief.
The first bells were hung in Tucson a year after little Ben died -- 400 colorful chimes went up around the city in celebration of his memory. Since then, the project has hung over 30,000 bells across the nation.
The bells can be seen in Tucson year-round. With each bell a message reads, "You have found a Ben's bell. Take it home, hang it and remember to spread kindness."
"The bells symbolize our togetherness and the idea that we are very much connected," Mar� said. "That we can do so much for each other if we can just be intentional about kindness."
In addition to bell distributions, Ben's Bells Project provides kindness education programming for more than 100 schools, organizations and businesses.
Visit www.bensbells.org or call (520) 628-2829 to donate and/or volunteer.

Thin Lithuanian blynai
|Alternative names
|Blin, blini, blintchik
|Main ingredients
|Cookbook: Blintz Media: Blintz
A blin (pl. blini), blintchik (pl. blintchiki) or blintz is a type of thin pancake.[1] Blini are thin pancakes that typically lack a leavening agent.[1]
"Blin" comes from mlim Old Slavic mlinъ,[2] (cf. блин, Russian for blin).
Blins or blini were symbolically considered by early Slavic people in pre-Christian times as a symbol of the sun, due to their round form.[1] They were traditionally prepared at the end of winter to honor the rebirth of the new sun (Butter Week, or Maslenitsa, also called "pancake week").[1] This tradition was adopted by the Orthodox church and is carried on to the present day. Blini were also served at wakes to commemorate the recently deceased.
Traditional Russian blini are made with yeasted batter, which is left to rise and then diluted with cold or boiling water or milk. When diluted with boiling water, they are referred to as zavarniye blini. Traditionally, blini are baked in a Russian oven. The process of cooking blini is still referred to as baking in Russian, even though these days they are universally pan-fried, like pancakes. French crêpes made from unyeasted batter (usually made of flour, milk, and eggs) are also common in Russia. All kinds of flour may be used for making blini: from wheat and buckwheat to oatmeal and millet, although wheat is currently the most popular.
Blini were popularized in the United States by Eastern European Jewish immigrants who used them in Jewish cuisine. While not part of any specific religious rite in Judaism, blini that are stuffed with a cheese filling and then fried in oil are served on holidays such as Chanukah (as oil played a pivotal role in the miracle of the Chanukah story) and Shavuot (when dairy dishes are traditionally served within the Ashkenazi minhag). Blini are called "blinchiki" in Russian, and are ordinarily stuffed before frying a second time. Fillings include chocolate, mushrooms, meat, rice, mashed potatoes, and cheese.
Some ways blintzes/blini are prepared and served include:
- The batter may contain various additions, such as grated potato or apple and raisins.[1] These blini are quite common in Eastern Europe and Central Europe, and are more solidly filled than the spongy pancakes usually eaten in North America.
- They may be covered with butter, sour cream, jam, honey, or caviar (whitefish, salmon, or traditional sturgeon caviar) and then they might be folded or rolled into a tube. In rolled form, they are similar to French crêpes. The caviar filling is popular during Russian-style cocktail parties.
- A filling such as jam, fruit, potato, quark, cottage cheese or farmer cheese, cooked ground meat, cooked chicken, and even chopped mushrooms, bean sprouts, cabbage, and onions (for a Chinese eggroll-type blintz) is rolled or enveloped into a pre-fried blintz and then the blintz is lightly re-fried, sautéed, or baked. Such blintzes are also called nalysnyky (Ukrainian: налисники) or blinchiki (Russian: блинчики).
Blintzes are the traditional meal in Lithuania during Fat Tuesday.
Buckwheat blini are part of traditional Russian cuisine.[1] They are also widespread in Ukraine,[1] where they are sometimes known as hrechanyky (Ukrainian: гречаники), and Lithuania's Dzūkija region, the only region in the country where buckwheat is grown, where they are called Grikių blynai.

How To Make Creamy Scrambled Eggs
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Writing a how-to on making scrambled eggs feels like taking my virtual life in my hands. Everyone makes scrambled eggs differently; everyone has strong feelings about them. And some of you will inevitably say that this is elementary! Everyone already knows how to do this! Well, you know what? I just wanted to make scrambled eggs. And personally? I like them creamy, luscious, and custard-like. Here is how I do it.
These are slow-cooked eggs — they stop short of Laurie Colwin's method of cooking them very, very slowly over an hour in a double boiler with half a pint of cream, but they are made in this spirit. They are cooked slowly, in the smallest pan you have, over very low heat. (You can use a flame-tamer on a gas stove to get a really low, even heat.)
The result is creamy, custardy eggs that slip off your spoon into your mouth; they wobble ever so slightly, and spread like fluffy ricotta on toast. They are simply luscious, and if I'm going to make scrambled eggs, this is how I am going to do them.
How do you make scrambled eggs? Do you like them creamy and slow, or quick and chopped up, diner-style?
How To Make Creamy Scrambled Eggs
What You Need
Fresh eggs
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
Cream (optional)
Chopped fresh herbs (optional)
Whisk or fork
Very small saucepan or high-sided sauté pan
Wooden spoon or spatula
1. Choose the smallest saucepan or sauté pan you have. It should be heavy, with a good solid bottom to evenly distribute heat.
2. Pull out your eggs and decide how many you want. I feel that for best effect it's good to do at least two or three. Ideally at least three. Less than that, and it's hard to keep the eggs from cooking too fast.
3. If you want, though, you can also add some cream to help buffer the eggs and make them creamy. (See note below about cream vs. milk in scrambled eggs.) I add about 1 teaspoon of cream per egg, so for this batch of 3 scrambled eggs, I added about 1 tablespoon.
4. Before you beat your eggs, heat your small pan over low heat, and add a small knob (about a teaspoon) of butter. Let it melt.
5. Break your eggs into a small bowl.
6. Beat the eggs thoroughly. This simple step is actually very important to good scrambled eggs. Beat them so that the yolks are completely broken up and incorporated with the whites. The mixture should look evenly yellow — not patchy and half-mixed. If you are using cream, whisk it in now as well.
7. By now your butter should be melted and evenly distributed in the pan. Any foam will have subsided.
8. Pour in your eggs, and make sure the heat is still very, very low.
9. Depending on the amount of eggs you used, and the size of your pan, you should now plan on cooking the eggs for about 15 minutes.
10. The more frequently you stir the eggs, the more custardy they will be. If you stirred constantly they will turn out almost like a creamy pudding! I don't have the patience for that, so I stir every couple minutes, which works out well if you are prepping other breakfast items. You can make toast and coffee and slice up some fruit in the time it takes for these to cook.
11. You can see here the custardy curds of egg forming, around the 5-minute mark.
12. Near the end of cooking the eggs will get much thicker, but still creamy.
13. When the eggs are dry and cooked enough for your taste, season lightly with salt and pepper, and stir in fresh herbs, if you would like. (There are chives in these, which were perfectly delightful.)
14. Bonus step: Don't forget to immediately fill the egg pan with hot soapy water when you take the eggs out! Then the cooked egg will come right off when you go to wash it. If you let it dry and get hard, it's a real pain to wash off.
Additional Notes:
• Some people use milk in their scrambled eggs. I firmly believe that this makes the eggs rubbery. The full-fat whipping cream makes them creamy, but use it or leave it out completely. Don't substitute milk.
• You can hold these in a slightly warm oven, or in a double boiler, to keep them warm for brunch. But they cook so slowly, especially when you are doing a larger quantity, that it should be easy to time them precisely for when you sit down to eat.

Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
I was shocked, dismayed and angered to learn that Ryan Beaulieu was sentenced to a mere 30 days for sexually assaulting a young girl for 10 years. I beg the question, what has happened to our justice system when a crime of this magnitude and violence gets such a minor sentence? Where is the justice for this victim? Victims of sexual assault deserve a lot more from our justice system.
In a 2003 study, "Rape in Vermont: A Report to the State" by Kilpatrick and Ruggiero, an estimated one out of seven adult women in Vermont has been a victim of rape sometime in her lifetime. In 2010 VT Crime Report: There were 136 forcible rapes and 32 statutory rapes reported to law enforcement in Vermont. One of the problems we face in Vermont and nationwide is that there are many more rapes that occur than are reported. It is no wonder, then, that many victims do not report when the outcome is as such. Having to go through the criminal justice system courts is extremely difficult for victims. I know this from both professional and personal experiences. I commend this victim for being brave and going through the criminal justice system. Those with the power and ability should take another look at this case and see what they can do so that the punishment, indeed, fits the crime. How will we ever put an end to violence if our criminal justice system does not provide proper punishment for committing such crimes?

/ PDP Program Overview
PDP - Program Overview
In 1991, the
United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) was charged with designing and implementing a program to collect data on pesticide residues in food. Responsibility for this program was given to the USDA
Agricultural Marketing Service
(AMS), which began operating the Pesticide Data Program (PDP) in May 1991. The data produced by PDP are reported in an annual summary. To date, PDP has tested 112 different commodities and over 450 different pesticides.
PDP data are used by the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the
Food and Drug Administration
, the USDA
Economic Research Service
Foreign Agricultural Service
, as well as groups within the private sector. EPA uses PDP data to prepare realistic pesticide dietary exposure assessments as part of its ongoing effort to implement the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act. The Government and agricultural community also use PDP data to examine pesticide practices and U.S. trade. PDP data have been helpful in identifying crops where alternative pest management practices are needed. PDP data are also useful in promoting export of U.S. commodities in a competitive global market and addressing food safety issues.
EPA data needs have increased following the passage of the 1996
Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA) and with EPA's use of sophisticated assessment models that require the scope and reliability of the extensive PDP database. Using PDP data, EPA has been able to prepare assessments that more accurately evaluate exposure to pesticide residues in the American diet.
In estimating the potential risks of pesticide residues in food, EPA uses a step-wise tiered approach. As a first step, EPA may use a "conservative" worst-case scenario and assume that a pesticide is applied to the fullest extent permitted by the pesticide label - on every acre of each approved crop and at the maximum rate and frequency allowed. EPA may also assume that residues on treated crops are present at the maximum allowed level. Exposure estimates based on such assumptions are likely to exceed actual exposure significantly. When an initial assessment indicates potential risk of concern, EPA refines its assessment using realistic exposure data. Refinements may include using data on the percent of a crop treated with a pesticide; studies of the effects of washing, cooking, processing, and storage; and residue monitoring data. This is when PDP data can be pivotal. PDP sampling procedures were designed to capture actual residues in the food supply as close as possible to the time of consumption.
PDP concentrates its efforts in providing better pesticide residue data on foods most consumed by children. This PDP policy is guided by the requirements of the 1996 Food Quality Protection Act and by recommendations made in 1993 by the
National Academy of Sciences
(NAS) in "
Pesticides in the Diets of Infants and Children
PDP is a Federal-State partnership. Program operations are carried out with the support of 10 States: California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington. Seven of those States provide laboratory testing services. One Federal laboratory, the USDA-AMS
National Science Laboratory
, provides specialized testing services. The AMS Monitoring Programs Division is responsible for administrative, sampling, technical, and database activities for PDP.

WTF does elite mean?
I could not give a flying furry one if Eli is elite or not.
It's wholly subjective, media coined term, it means jack diddley squat.
He's our QB and I for one am grateful.
He's taken us to the big one twice, he'll take us to the big one two or three more times before he hangs it up.
That either makes him elite or it doesn't ........... either way, you'll never confuse me with someone who gives a ****.
Maybe Phils jealous of Elis success....and the fact that hes a few tds away from breaking his record. Didnt Phil say Eli is elite after superbowl 46? I could be wrong

Sir Thomas Richard Coughlin The Great
"The NY never comes off"
Simms is jealous Eli has 2 rings as QB, when he had to sit out and watch Hoss finish the job the second time around.
Then he eventually lost the starting job to Hoss.
Me thinks he still burns up inside and has some animosity towards the Giants.
and another thing Simms knows what elite play is.
• 88.0% completion rate (Super Bowl record)
• 150.92 passer rating (Super Bowl record)
Actually, Phil Simms does call Eli Manning "the elite one" in Madden 13. LOL
I didn't check the entire thread, but has anyone mentioned that in the same article, Dan Fouts disagrees with Phil?
But Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts -- also appearing on the show -- disagreed with Simms' assessment of Manning.
"You can't spell 'elite' without 'Eli'. The pressure situations that Eli has thrived in over his short career in my mind make him an elite quarterback," the former Chargers quarterback said. "Because that is when you're judged. How well you do when the pressure is on, when you've got to win the game. And all you have to do is look back at his two Super Bowl wins and the way he beat the Patriots."

"They come to the line of scrimmage and the first thing they do is start looking for me....I know, and they know. When theyd find me theyd start screaming: 56 left ! 56 left!....So theres this thing I did. After the play was over Id come up behind them and whisper: dont worry where I am. Ill tell you when I get there."

The College of Osteopathic Medicine offers incoming students a choice of two curricular options:
An innovative Lecture-Discussion Based (LDB) track that integrates the biomedical and clinical sciences along continuous didactic 'threads' delivered according to a systems based approach
- A problem-based curriculum, the Doctor Patient Continuum (DPC), whose cornerstone is small-group, casebased learning.
The two curricular tracks differ significantly in that the LDB track emphasizes faculty-directed learning activities, whereas the DPC track encourages students to assume a greater role in directing their own learning. The pathways are similar in that during the first two years, certain subjects, notably Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, Anatomy, Doctor Patient Relationship (DPR), and the Introduction to Osteopathic Medicine are shared by both LDB and DPC students. During years three and four, required and elective clinical rotations are the same for students in both tracks.
Both curricular tracks demand that the student be an active learner, fully participating in the the complete academic process.

Q:Can this be used daily? I like to stick to one thing at a time, so I would like to know if this can be an everyday basis! Also I was thinking about using this with the American Cream Conditioner, would that work?Asked on 6/29/2015 by Longing For LUSH/Newbie
3 answers
A:Yes, you can use this everyday and with American Cream it will a be fantastic duo!Answered on 6/30/2015 by Pauline
A:I use it daily! I don't have very oily hair, so I use a fairly tiny amount
every day, which is great — it still lathers up fantastically, and I get to
make it last longer.
I use not-Lush conditioner (it's the only not-Lush thing I use!), so I'm
not sure about that. (I use Aussie 3-minute)Answered on 6/30/2015 by Anonymous
A:I only use it every other day because that's just how i like to wash my hair. But this is the only shampoo I use regularly. I highly recommend the American Cream condition as I use that every time I wash my hair. They go really well together! Hope you like them as much as I do!Answered on 6/29/2015 by Anonymous

A:I Love Juicy has enzymatic exfoliating properties within the fruit juices in the product, which will give a deeper cleanse than our other shampoos. You could say it's giving you the most effective clean while not drying out your hair. I would recommend this product for stripping color but it's hard to confirm a result because of your hair's specific chemical makeup.Answered on 5/26/2015 by Alexander from Lush Direct
Q:My hair tends to be very dry, especially the ends, but my roots get very greasy if I don't shampoo every day (which may be why my hair is dry to begin with). Just yesterday I bought the small bottle of Veganese to try out, just because I was looking specifically for a vegan conditioner. I have yet to use it, but I was wondering if I Love Juicy and Veganese would be a good combination for my hair. I am also looking to pick up R&B for my dry ends soon. Thanks!Asked on 2/3/2014 by Kristen from Long Island, NY

A:I Love Juicy and Veganese make a fantastic pair, and the smell fantastic together as well! If you find that you need a richer moisturizer, Happy Happy Joy Joy is another lovely vegan conditioner!Answered on 3/25/2014 by Brandy from LUSH
A:Hi Kristen,
I have short hair that tends to get greasy fast, but I can say I Love Juicy
does hold off the grease for a while without drying my hair out (as I have
found with other products). Perhaps it would be a good fit on your greasy
As a bonus, it also smells terrific-a great way to start your day.Answered on 2/3/2014 by Anonymous
Q:Is this product OK to use on normal, hair? I see that most people rec'd it to be used on oily hair. My hair is oily on occasion, but normal most often, will this be too drying?Asked on 8/30/2013 by lushie
4 answers
A:I Love Juciy is perfectly suited for normal hair. It is not too stripping or drying, so I think it should be safe and even beneficial to use on average hair.Answered on 10/4/2013 by Kendra M from LUSH Direct
A:Yes! This is fine to use on normal hair, and you will love the long lasting fragrance!
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 9/6/2013 by Anonymous
A:I have normal to oily hair. My roots and scalp tend to be oily (as in, by
the end of the day my hair looks a little stingy and flat at the roots and
around my face) but my ends tend to be far less oily. I spent a lot of
money and a lot of time trying to find a shampoo that would combat the
oiliness without drying out my ends. I started using I Love Juicy about a
year ago and I have never looked back! My job requires me to wear my hair
pulled back in a ponytail during my 10 hour shift. With other shampoos this
would mean by the time I get home and took my hair down, my roots were an
oily mess. But that's just not the case with I Love Juicy! It keeps my
roots light and clean all day! Every now and then, my ends will start to
feel a little brittle or tangle-y immediately after rinsing (usually it has
to do with the time of year and the weather). When ever it starts to feel
that way, I just throw on some conditioner/detangler (I currently use
Veganese) and rinse before getting out of the shower and it works
perfectly! I would recommend I Love Juicy for normal to slightly oily hair!

A:I would consider my hair "normal"... and I use it! I just use a bit less of
it, and it works great and smells good. I'd go for it. I've never had a
problem with it drying me out.Answered on 8/30/2013 by Anonymous
Q:Should I use a conditioner after washing my hair with I Love Juicy? If so, which one?Asked on 6/29/2013 by jaimelyn from ny
1 answer
A:We definitely recommend using a conditioner after shampooing to help restore some moisture and soften the hair. Veganese is a really nice one paired with I Love Juicy because it won't weigh down the hair, or cause it to overproduce oil.Answered on 8/21/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:I've been using I Love Juicy shampoo for about a year now but recently I've noticed more strands of white hair on my scalp. Are the acidic juices in the shampoo causing this to happen. I have really oily hair with dandruff and the shampoo works great to treat my hair. What other Lush shampoos can treat oily hair with dandruff?Asked on 4/8/2013 by Sushi from Fort Worth, TX
1 answer
A:I Love Juicy contains loads of fruit juices, which are very clarifying for the hair. Over time it can strip synthetic color because clarifying ingredients tend to have a hard time differentiating between dirt and oil, and color. Jumping Juniper is a great alternative that will still help control oil and dandruff without stripping color!Answered on 9/16/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Would you recommend using this as a daily shampoo or would you recommend only using this once a week?Asked on 7/13/2012 by Kels from New Orleans, LA
1 answer
A:I Love Juicy can be used on a daily basis if you'd like, or if you'd rather only use it for clarifying, weekly would also be appropriate.Answered on 8/28/2012 by Megan from LUSH Direct
Q:My hair is frizzy but very oily. Would this work for me?Asked on 5/16/2012 by Princess Becky
2 answers
A:I am not sure how often you wash your hair or what hair type you have, but in my experience I only need to use this shampoo about once a week or week and a half in order to remove the oils from my hair. I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week and use I Love Juicy when I feel my hair is just really greasy, grimy, and oily. I also live in a hard water area which dries my hair out a lot so I would not recommend using this shampoo everyday if you are living in similar conditions to mine. Also my hair is straight but naturally a little frizzy because my hair is composed of fine, medium, and thick hairs. I unfortunately do not notice any improvement with my frizz issues when I use this shampoo, but this shampoo is amazing at getting all the oil and grime out of hair. If you decide not to use this shampoo everyday try using Godiva or Seanik solid shampoo bars in between your uses of I Love Juicy. Hope that helps!Answered on 5/30/2012 by AshleyOakley from The South
A:The I Love Juicy is designed to aid oily scalps by absorbing the excess oil and cleansing the scalp. It help balance the oil production in your scalp but to avoid frizz maybe use a good conditioner like American Creme or Okra.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Anonymous
Q:I have fine hair, which tends to get oily pretty quickly. I was wondering if this shampoo would be best for my hair and if using this shampoo with veganese conditioner would be a good combo. thanx!Asked on 3/13/2012 by glitterisFUN

A:No, this item is not sulfate free. It contains Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Alkyl Sulfate among other ingredients.Answered on 3/2/2012 by Community Answer from None

Q:Does this shampoo strip color treated hair?Asked on 1/31/2012 by lexylou
1 answer
A:This shampoo does contain a lot of fruit juices which lift dirt, oil, and deposits from the hair. As a result, it may also lift synthetic colour from the hair over time, so we recommend using gentler shampoos for hair that has been synthetically coloured, such as Trichomania, Gentle Lentil or GodivaAnswered on 2/17/2012 by Megan from LUSH

GSI Thrive 1 Person Set
This is a basic set of dish, bowl, cup, and utensils, which comes in a mesh carry bag. It is designed to facilitate eating with the dish on your lap. It is a nice little set, which while probably not the most durable, serves us well for car and canoe camping. After years of using a hodgepodge of eating utensils and cups and plates, I decided to get some new stuff to go with our new GSI insulated mugs...( see my review of the mugs). I checked out GSI products, and found a great sale on this set. Full review

Innovative, excellent product for the backpacker. I have used this product since 2008. I purchased two from REI at a clearance price of $2.34 each.

It'll hold enough 'wares' for two people per meal—bowl, cup, two plates. It's not excessively heavy, though it's no feather either. Ours didn't include the rubber lid retainer, so the lid comes off very easily. Ease of use: Easy to clean, plenty of capacity for your average camp meal, and easy to repack. There really is a lot of usefulness in a fairly compact package. The cup is nice, though we never use it. The bowl is also handy for oatmeal as well as coffee. We've replaced carrying the spork… Full review

Great bowl for backcountry camping!! I used this bowl on 1 backcountry trip so far. It went to Havasupai in the Grand Canyon with me. I don't really like eating my freeze dried meals out of the bag so I got this. I like this bowl a lot. Works great. It's light. You can hang it outside your backpack to save space if needed. The lid is great because you can store a few items inside it too. It is easy to clean. It washed up easily in the creek. I recommend this bowl and lid. Full review

When i first bought and installed SWG, it was my first MMO, in fact, there were jsut not that many MMO+s around,mostly due to the fact that not many people had broadband.
I never got hooked on it back then, it seemed too confusing.
Some years later i returned, just to see what it was like and this was after NGE.
This time i got really hooked, played like 8h/day to the end.
But all the while, people was whining about PRE-CU and that "everything was better then".
So, what was so good about PRE-CU?
All i know is that it was sort of a classless system, instead of the level/expertise system later on.
But what else made it so good that players even today dont spare any hate for NGE or the players ?
Oh, and please keep it civil,shall we...

Freedom to change career was just one small aspect. The world aspect is a lot more attractive imo.

It's late here, but this is what stuck out for me.
1. Persistent World - it changed daily due to the playerbase which made the up the content since there was little of at the time
2. A multitude of 32 playable classes
3. The BEST and I mean BEST crafting system ever in a MMORPG (different stats on harvested mats)
4. TRUE Player Housing system that existed in the playable world (of course this was in NGE as well).
5. Factions that were always at War on a Open World Environment (You had a choice whether to fight or watch as players combatted each other all over different planets). Not for loot, but for bragging rights
It was a different time in the MMORPG gaming history, one I don't see repeating itself anytime soon unfortunately with all these themepark mmo's.
Now time for bed...

There was just so much more freedom in building a character YOU wanted AND that was interesting. Characters created after NGE were nothing but cookie cutter shadows of what they had been. Add to that the fact that crafting was no were as interesting post-NGE as pre-CU, and the game was just not as interesting. Sure, those that never really got into the game or those that never really experienced it would feel the game was fine for them. Those of us that knew the game before just could not stomach what the game had become.
I should also point out that SWG is dead to me. It was long before it was every shut down.

^^This. There are always min-maxers and the like but in SWG you could do some crazy build for pvp or just create a combination of a couple different classes mixed and see what happens. I loved Pre-CU SWG, still waiting for SWGEmu.
Interesting reading.
The reason i created the thread was that it really baffles me that people who played PRE-CU and quit playing with the NGE, still to this day (6-7 years later) still express an enormous rage and hate towads not only the NGE, but players who enjoy it as well.
I mean, it could just be as simple as walking away and thats it.
Anyway, i hope the future will bring back both playstyles in separate realms for everyone to be happy.
Originally posted by IG-88
Well the "enormous rage" towards NGE/SoE was more because of the fact that SoE was very dishonest with their practice, if you knew the whole story.
1. No one was forewarned about the decision to go to NGE from the existing system. If I recall correctly it was less than a week's notice.
2. They actually released new (I think was it Mustafar?) expansion pack based on the OLD gaming system 1 week or something prior to the introduction of the NGE, and all along they have been giving info about the new expansion pack based on the old system, and did not have any indication that there was any plan changes to the game system.
And also because a lot of the stuff that was in that expansion is tied to the old system, some things in the new expansion became useless/pointless with the NGE. Thus people felt ripped off/short changed.
3. Although there was no needed to on their part, still there was no consultation with the playerbase, or even acknowledgement, at all on this change. Many doubt why it was even necessary as the playerbase was still thriving.
So their hate was never directed on the "system" of the NGE itself, but rather how it came about.
It is just as if in 1 night the they changed Warcraft from a real-time strategy game to a first person shooter.

Yes, all understandable at the time, but 6-7 years later?
I was there when the NGE happened, and was affected by it all, and didn't really play the game properly for about a year or two afterwards, but one day I just realised the NGE was here to stay, and just made the most of it, especially when I tried every MMO out there, and still found the NGE version the best MMO for me. They then just kept adding to the game, and it just got better and better, other than the fact it only had 9 professions. If it had the full 32 it would have been awesome. Although after trying the other unofficial version, I just found it unplayable, as just gotten so used to the NGE version, that pre-cu was not all that great after all.
The NGE on Day 1 in 2005 was horrendous, but by the time it closed in 2011 had come a long long way since then. If the NGE version stayed like it did from Nov 2005 and they did not add to it, like what Bioware are doing with SWTOR ie nothing, SWG would have been closed by 2006 or 2007

@ OP Question:
Because if people bitched in REAL life like they can / do on the internets, no one would ever talk to them. Internet allows people to bitch and complain constantly without any real consequences.
Also, if you haven't noticed, the MMORPG.com community is pretty large, but reall only a small group of its members are so vocal about things. You'll hear like 10-20 people complaining about how they hate something... Just remember there are 100's of 1000's of others who either don't care or are happy with whatever it is.

Well personally I am not even upset about it, so I wouldn't know how the ones that are feel. I've tried it after NGE, feels like it was no different from WoW, and so ended up playing Anarchy Online instead (at least the skill system in AO was different).
But I do know that it was an opportunity lost because SWG really had a good thing, as it was an actual virtual world with Star Wars theme. Not many games does that then and no successful game did that since really.
Also SOE really tarnished their reputation after that.

Yeah no thanks to Lucasarts.
Julio Torres was the producer for SWG up until the NGE, and he was the one who discussed the NGE in delight on Attack of the Show and on the official forums for the first which was reposted by someone on these forums and Gamespy
Julio Torres was also producer for KOTOR 1 and The Force Unleashed. He was a Lucasarts employee, temporarily working for SOE. So quite easy to mistake SOE for the bad guys.
After the NGE did not live up to their expectaions, the Producers that followed were SOE employees, with Tony "Teesquared" Tyson being the last one.
At least SOE improved the game from Nov 2005, and added tonnes more to it, which was more than what Bioware is doing for SWTOR - which is virtually nothing, hence the poor retention of players.
SOEs bad reputation should not be for the NGE which was mostly by LA, but their general incompetance in everything they do. The Latest thing being the transition to ProSieben for EU players. It has been going on for over 8 months now, and DCUO transition was a mess, which resulted in other games being halted in trasnition which is a good thing, and still no solid plan. There is absolutely no confidence whatsoever that the transition will be any good even once they have sorted things out.
They always do stuff, wait for any outcry, and then adjust things as necessary. Why they do not have the intuition to get things right within themselves without relying on customers complaints is beyond me.
So, the biggest problem with NGE, wasnt NGE itself, but rather the way they did it, without consulting the playerbase, if i get i correct. And, perhaps PRE-CU was more appealing to the "hardcore" gamers, while NGE was more appealing to the "general gamers".
I do think SOE had a good connection to the players during the years i played, through the senator system.
Still to this day, i just cant find any MMO that appeals to me like SWG did.

It didnt have the most content, it didnt have jaw dropping graphics, it didnt have alot of anything substantial aside from bugs.
Yet it had two things that made it the best mmo experience ever, the comminity where your reputation mattered a million times more than your gear/class and freedom to do whatever you wanted.
In no case was SWG the 'best' MMO ever, in reality it was a buggy, laggy mess at times. Yet it hit the nail on the head so hard in the two points above you didnt give the slightest shit.

1. Persistent world unique to your server.
2. 32 classes that you could mix and match up to a total of about 2.2 classes
3. Citys
4. Social areas with social professions that forced traffic
5. Legendary and exceptional items
6. Crafting and good crafters could become forever remembered
7. Stores
8. Rescources, Rescources would come into shift and remain for short periods of time.
9. Mobs that could take up to an hour to take down (krayts for eg)
10. Great PVP that would spontaneously kick off at any time.
11. Jedi in reculse but powerful.
12. Community - no game before and no game since fostered a community that pre-cu did due to an ability to be completely unique, specialise to an area, I could name you the best crafters, PVP's, hunters, miners, entertainers etc on Eclipse 8 years after the fact, I can bareley name 33% of my guild in GW2.
13. No 2 players where the same though appearance, gear, class and what they did some specialised in PVP others to crafting others to entertaining. I know entertainers who never even touched a weapon, I pesonally specialised in killing Krayt there was not a stone I did not know of the Krayt graveyard I could probably still draw a complete map of it to this day and anyone on Eclipse knew if they needed something that a Krayt could drop then I was one of the people to see. I then took my profits to Bru or Sanu for weapons, Selandria and her crew for entertaining, J'akara for armour and if I wanted to PVP I would make sure I had the guys of Webel near me. If I needed other items I would head out to Zeus mall just NE of Coronet to visit one of the many vendors there.
SWG Pre-CU was the only MMO to me that was truly a living breathing world rather than just a game. I didn't play Itreh Wirne the crazy Krayt hunting Pikewoman, I was Itreh Wirne the crazy krayt hunting pikewoman.
I'm not one of these who holds a grudge to SOE etc I still enjoyed the game for 7 more years post CU and NGE but neither iteration had that same charm of Pre-CU and Pre-CU will probably go down in my history as the greatest game to ever exist.

not quite sure how you came to that conclusion, the biggest problem with the NGE wasnt the lack of consulting, it was that the NGE itself removed a massive portion of the games functionality and flexibility, entire classes were removed from the game, not to mention the combat mechanics themselves were disrupted to such a degree that the games animations began to look ridiculous. And no, the NGE was not appealing to general gamers, if anything it was the reverse, only the 'hardcore' Starwars players, stayed, which sadly represented about 20 percent of the original playerbase, SOE were never able to reconnect with the players after the NGE, though this was something that really began with the CU, after the NGE was released, the playerbase was mostly actively hostile to SOE, this is something that has not significantly changed to the present date.
but agreed, no other MMO had the appeal that SWG did, but that does not include the NGE, few indeed are sorry to see the back of it.

In regards to the perception of low content, I would agree if one where to simply play the game in the typical Eq / WoW themepark way. However pre NGE I always felt the game effectivley had endless content due to the players creating content, such as bustling cantinas, decorated houses, player cities, player shops / malls, player military bases. To me it just seemed like there where endless things to do and see when you approached it in a non hand holded way.
I also thought at the time, and still today to an extent in regards to the EMU that the graphics were the best at the time, the vast terrain, huge cities, the models and textures were first class. But more than this each planet maintained a specific cultural identity that allowed the player to become easily immersed in the enviroment, I think SWG is unique in this regard, as all other MMOs fail to maintain that immersion be it with unrealistic terrain, terrain textures, unrealistic creatures and flora. So when you were on endor for example to zoom into first person, all the plants, animals, terrain, the realistic SCALE and sounds all combined to make you feel that you were there, that it was not designed or created, it was as it would be what you would discover if you had actually landed on Endor.

If you watch a game, it's fun. If you play it, it's recreation. If you work at it, it's FF-XIV.
Best thing that ever happend to SWG was jump to lightspeed. I'm sorry the only reason I even played this game was to hire a mining crew for astroid runs, or drive my nova. As a Ace Pilot Republic side I must have pu in at least 500+ hours in space.

Auburn, AL (Sports Network) - After dropping a hard-fought SEC battle last week, the 22nd-ranked Texas A&M Aggies will try to bounce back on Saturday night on the road against the Auburn Tigers.
Texas A&M dropped their first-ever SEC game on opening day, 20-17 against nationally-ranked Florida, but it was able to respond beautifully with five straight wins before falling at home to No. 6 LSU last week, 24-19. Head coach Kevin Sumlin knows that the conference is a grind, but despite the loss, he views his team as one of the league's best.
"Effort was not the problem," Sumlin said following the LSU game. "As long as our guys continue to give effort like that, we're going to be able to win in any game. The hump we have to get over is execution and being consistent. Against a very talented team, the margin of error is really, really small."
While the Aggies have played well, the Tigers have uncharacteristically been one of the worst teams in the conference this year. Auburn is 0-5 in SEC play, most recently losing at Vanderbilt, 17-13.
"We have to continue to work," head coach Gene Chizik said following his team's fourth-consecutive loss. "This is a good football team. The bottom line is we have to find these wins in the fourth quarter. We have to close these games out in the end."
As newly-formed conference rivals, these two teams have only met twice before, most recently in the 1986 Cotton Bowl. Texas A&M has won both matchups.
This bout consists of two polar-opposite teams in terms of offensive production, with Texas A&M being the SEC's most potent squad both in points per game (43.0) and yards per game (524.6), while Auburn ranks last in both categories (15.7 ppg, 276.7 ypg).
Quarterback Johnny Manziel is on pace for one of the best freshman seasons in conference history, having already broken the SEC record for total yardage in a game twice (557 vs. Arkansas on Sept. 29, 576 vs. Louisiana Tech on Oct. 13). On top of being a great passer (279.4 ypg, .638 completion percentage, 14 TDs, six INTs), he is also the second-leading rusher in the conference (703 yards, 10 TDs). The signal-caller is coming off his most pedestrian performance of the season against LSU with 276 yards passing, 27 yards rushing, zero touchdowns and three interceptions.
Mike Evans has benefited most from Manziel's emergence as he ranks third in the conference in both catches (42) and yards (625). Ryan Swope (30 receptions, 380 yards, three TDs) has also been a big factor in the receiving game.
Although Manziel is the team's leading rusher, both Ben Malena (462 yards, four TDs) and Christine Michael (196 yards, five TDs) are having impressive seasons as well.
The Aggies are much more than just a flashy offense, as they have allowed their opponents to score just 22.1 ppg. The defense has been solid on third down, yielding just a 28 percent success rate.
Damontre Moore has been one of the SEC's most dominant defensive players with 62 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks -- all team-highs. Steven Terrell has two of the team's six interceptions.
Auburn's offensive struggles can be pointed directly at poor quarterback play. Kiehl Frazier started the season under center but played very poorly (56- of-103, 664 yards, two TDs, eight INTs). Clint Moseley has taken over in recent weeks, but he hasn't played much better (38-of-59, 373 yards, TD, three INTs).
Emory Blake has been productive despite the lack of continuity at QB, securing a team-high 30 receptions for 425 yards and two scores. No other Tiger averages more than 24 receiving yards per game.
A solid running back tandem has saved Auburn from being completely inept on the offensive side of the ball, as Tre Mason (474 yards, four TDs) and Onterio McCalebb (332 yards, two TDs) each average 5.1 yards per carry. The multi- talented McCalebb is just the second player in SEC history with 2,000 rushing yards, 1,000 kick return yards, and 500 receiving yards.
The Tigers defense (25.1 ppg) has not helped matters much in the first half of the season. It could have its hands full with the Aggies' rushing attack as the unit surrenders nearly 200 yards on the ground per game.
Daren Bates is one of the best linebackers in the country with 74 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery. Corey Lemonier has a team-high five sacks and has hurried the quarterback another eight times.

Walmart employees threaten walkout for Black Friday
As Walmart gears up for its biggest shopping day of the year, thousands of its employees across the country are threatening to walk out on Black Friday.
Workers backed by labor unions said the action will cause significant disruption, potentially leaving stores in the hands of replacement employees.
"We really think it's a publicity stunt by the UFCW, by the labor unions," said Walmart spokeswoman Delia Garcia.
She expects only a small portion of employees to participate in the walkout.
At issue are wages, benefits and working conditions.

Coble stated, "the film industry directly spends more than $300 million in local economies that in turn creates high paying jobs in our state's film, television and advertising industries. More than 4,000 North Carolinians are professionals in the film industry alone. This caucus is designed to protect and grow those jobs."
Attending today's inaugural CRC meeting were representatives of the motion pictures, music and software industries, along with organizations that represent those employed by the creative community.
Co-chairs Coble and Chu told the first meeting of the Creative Rights Caucus that about 30 of their colleagues have joined the group so far. Rep. Coble is chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property and the Internet. Also attending today's CRC meeting was Rep. Mel Watt (D-NC), who is the Ranking
Member of the subcommittee that Coble chairs. Rep. Chu is also a member of the same subcommittee.

The tax-filing clock is ticking. You
can't turn it back, but there is a way to change your
filing deadline to months instead of days and hours.
Just ask the Internal Revenue Service for more time to file your return. You should have plenty of company. Around 10 million filers request extensions each year.
Regardless of how many filers seek extensions, they'll
all find that the IRS has streamlined the process,
making it easy to get extra filing time. All you have to do is file, either electronically or by snail mail, Form
4868, Application for Automatic Extension of
Time to File and you've automatically
got six more months, until Oct. 15, to fulfill
your tax-filing duties.
Even better, if you're a dillydallying taxpayer, you don't have to give Uncle Sam a reason for wanting
more tax-filing time. Just submit the form by April 15.
But keep in mind that
an extension to file is not an extension to pay. If
you are going to owe taxes when you finally get your
return done, you need to come up with the money, or
a close estimate of it, when you ask for the filing extension.
One form, six more
Long-time taxpayers might remember
when the extension process was
a bit more complicated. A few
years ago, Form 4868 would have
given you only four months,
until Aug. 15, to file. To get
the additional extension into
October, you then had to file
another form and justify the
need for two more months.
But the IRS decided that the dual process was cumbersome for taxpayers and costly to the federal government. So now procrastinators simply have to mail Form 4868 by the April tax deadline.
This half-page form asks for your name, address and Social Security number. It's that simple, although taxpayers who must file gift tax returns have a few more questions to answer. You don't even need an excuse to ask for more time.
One thing hasn't changed though.
Remember, if you owe, you do still need to pay the amount
of taxes you owe, or a close approximation of
it, when you file Form 4868. Don't just make
up an amount here. The IRS warns that if it
finds your estimate "not reasonable,"
it could invalidate your extension request,
subjecting you to nonfiling penalties.
