Go-ahead for cycle route from harbourside to Goodrington
Posted: September 28, 2012|
PLANS to extend the cycle route from Paignton harbour to Goodrington have moved a step closer.
The new route was first mooted in April last year but was put on the back burner because of funding and legal issues.
Now, Torbay Council's transport working party has unanimously agreed to press ahead with plans.
Details of the exact route will go to local groups for consultation.
Cllr Darren Cowell, committee member, said: "I support the extension of the network because this is a superb area for cyclists."
Phase one of the scheme includes a signed route from Paignton harbour, using Roundham Road and Cliff Road. It involves a widened and designated foot and cycleway across Roundham Head, along the coastal footway, with more lighting.
The route is intended to link to Roundham Gardens, via a signed route along Alta Vista Road and Braeside Road, to link Roundham Head and Goodrington North.
There will be a shared footpath/cyclepath through Youngs Park to Tanners Road.
Work could start early next year.
Phase two of the scheme includes a signed route in the Tanners Road/Quaywest area.
There will be a shared cycle/footpath to the landward side of the Goodrington south promenade.
Cyclists will have to dismount through the narrow section of south promenade, up to the railway bridge at Cliff Park Road.
There will be a signed route through Cliff Park Road up to the Waterside shops.
A shared foot/cycleway to the wide footway in front of Waterside shops will link to existing cycle facilities on Dartmouth Road.
Work could start next autumn.
Consultation is to take place with community partnerships, ward councillors, parks friends groups and beach hut users.
Cllr Nicole Amil, committee member said: "I know that members of the Friends of Youngs Park and the Goodrington Action Group are concerned.
"They are concerned about the conservation area and they want to be consulted and make sure their representations are taken on board."
Cllr Mike Morey told the committee: "Coming from the posh end of the Bay I pass by the Waterside shops almost every day.
"If you're talking about using the pavement then there must be clear designated paths. During the summer it gets packed with people. I don't want to see a tiddly little line."
Robert Excell, lead member for transport said that shared spaces are known to work.
He said: " I am not a great lover of shared spaces because I feel that pavements are there for pedestrians but the government says we can do it and it does work.
"There will be plenty of signage to ensure people know what they should and should not be doing. The key is to keep the speed down.
"We are becoming a cycling destination and we should encourage it."

John '00' Fleming's Top Ten Defining Records
Tue 26th Jul, 2011 Lists and Guidesin
John '00' Fleming has never been one to toe the party line. Impassioned and deep-thinking, the man known to his fans as J00F always puts the music first. This weekend sees him return to Australia for the J00F Editions winter tour, and he's treating it as ardently as anything else. "You have no idea how much preparation work I'm currently putting into these four-hour sets," J00F told his followers recently. "This is going to be a very special tour for a country that has supported me so dearly."
There's no denying it's going to be a special tour, with the DJ digging deep and going long in legendary style. In honour of the occasion, we asked J00F to join other luminaries like Nick Warren and Henry Saiz in our Guest Lists feature series. As you can imagine, this is one fascinating brain to pick about electronic music. So which ten records have influenced the mighty J00F? Read on.
Jean Michel Jarre – Equinox IV
"The man is responsible for getting me into electronic music when I was a kid in the '80s. I was fascinated by the futuristic sounds created by synths. It was mind-blowing back then because 'general' music was made with live bands. This was something new. I feel this man was the creator of trance music; listen to this track from 1978!"
Tangerine Dream – Ricochet 1/2
"Another electronic band from the late '70s and early '80s that I grew up with as a kid. Again, this was music like nothing else out there. I suppose this has set me on the musical path that I lead today, loving innovative music, sounds and technology. This song used to make cry and fall asleep as a kid. That's the power of music with soul."

Closer to home: ACU baseball coach Bonneau announces first DI recruiting class
Abilene Christian baseball coach Britt Bonneau announced on Thursday his 2012 recruiting class, which consists of seven high school players who will join the team in fall 2014 and be among the first in school history to compete at the NCAA Division I level.
Those signing to play for the Wildcats are catchers Kendall Kerns and Connor Messman; infielders Gunnar Buhner, Tanner Buxton and Aaron Draper; outfielder Taylor Waters and pitcher Joe Boyce.
Of ACU's signees, only Buxton, Draper and Kerns are from Texas. Messman and Waters are Arizona natives and Boyce and Buhner — the son of former Seattle Mariners All-Star Jay Buhner — hail from Washington. Together, Bonneau said, those players make up a strong first DI class.
"The kids we've recruited possess the talent, skills and character to compete right away at the DI level," he said in a press release. "They are going to provide a solid foundation for this program moving forward, and I can't thank my coaches (Brandon Stover, Elliott Cribby) enough for all the hard work theyv'e put in since May to bring in this class."
ACU's Smith, Wallace invited to all-American Bowl
Abilene Christian defensive lineman Ryan Smith and linebacker Mike Wallace have been invited to play in the 17th-annual All American Bowl on Dec. 22, in one of three all-star games played at the Metrodome in Minneapolis.
Smith finished his senior year with 51 tackles, five sack and 9½ tackles for loss, all of which ranked him among the Lone Star Conference leaders. Wallace, a second-team all-LSC pick, collected 72 tackles, including seven for loss and one sack, while leading the conference in interceptions with five.
The All American Bowl is comprised of three games for players from different levels of competition, including minor league free agents and college seniors from the FCS level to Division III and NAIA. Participants in the three games were recommended by coaches and later nominated by the All American Bowl Selection Committee and Football Scouting Bureau.
Each roster is comprised of 42 players.

MSP calls on councils to invest in geothermal
An SNP MSP is calling on local authorities in Scotland to explore the use of geothermal energy to heat homes.
Chic Brodie, SNP MSP for South of Scotland and member of the Scottish Parliament's Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee, made the call after a British Geological Survey highlighted the significant reductions these schemes can bring to household bills and CO2 emissions.
Water lying in unused mines and other reservoirs beneath the surface can be used to heat water in homes using ground source heat pumps.
Efficient pumps can use mine water of just 15-20 degrees to heat water in homes to above 60 degrees, easily hot enough for bathing or heating a home.
Commenting, Mr Brodie said:
"Geothermal heat is an excellent way of taking advantage of the very many disused mines around Scotland.
"As consumers face huge increases in their energy bills annually, and fuel poverty becoming an ever greater problem, geothermal heat is one way we can seek to alleviate this.
"That is why I'm calling on councils across Scotland to investigate how to use this technology successfully and in doing so cut down carbon emissions and save on energy bills.
"Deep geothermal energy may represent a substantial and almost entirely untapped resource in Scotland and I look forward to seeing the results of the Scottish Government's research into our country's geothermal potential due to be published in spring 2013.
"Advances in technology mean that geothermal energy is more efficient than ever, and encouraging this could mean significant reductions to consumer bills and C02 emissions.
"The more heat we draw from the ground, the more progress we can make towards Scotland's ambitious green targets."

This portraitback to top
This portrait is known as the 'Phoenix portrait after the prominent phoenix jewel that Elizabeth wears at her chest, which was an emblem for rebirth and chastity. She also wears a heavy jewelled collar with a red and white Tudor rose in the centre. This portrait is associated with the artist Nicholas Hilliard because of the similarity of the pattern for the face to a miniature painted in 1572 and the controlled way in which the paint has been handled. It is evident that the position of the face was moved during the painting process, and a second set of features can be seen very faintly beneath the surface. Conservation of this painting was supported by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Art Conservation Project.

Grantville seeks budget solutions
by Clay Neely
While media from metro Atlanta television outlets were in attendance for Monday's city council meeting in Grantville about an expected firing, it was all much ado about nothing.
The rumors regarding the termination of recreation department director Michelle Huffsticker were ultimately unfounded. Instead, the meeting focused on attempts to make the current budget more fiscally responsible.
The council unanimously voted to go into closed session to discuss what it said was a personnel matter.
After the closed session, Council Member Johnny Cooks made an immediate motion regarding overtime by city employees. That motion, approved unanimously, said all overtime by city employees must be approved by their department head, the mayor, or the city manager. The decision goes into effect immediately.
According to Georgia open meeting laws, elected officials may go into closed meetings to discuss specific personnel, pending litigation or real estate matters.
"There was never any discussion of terminating anyone," said Mayor Jim Sells after the meeting. "I can't stop the rumors people spread, but we are only attempting to get our spending under control and it came down to solving our overtime problems."
Citing the need for the city to become more fiscally responsible, Sells acknowledged that the need to establish control over the current budget is a primary concern and one of the biggest problems is overtime.
"We have to get control of our budget and one of the problems we have is overtime," said Sells. "I'm not saying the overtime is unnecessary, but we're going to try to manage it better so that we're fiscally responsible."
During the discussion regarding tax millage rates for the city, it was revealed the current budget is $36,000 short based on expected revenue. Presently, Grantville has a property tax rate of 1.69 mills – a mill is one dollar per thousand of assessed property value. Homeowners are charged based on 40 percent of their assessed property value.
"If we use a home valued at $80,000 as baseline value, a home that the county has valued at $80,000 – that 1.69 mills is $54 a year," Sells said. "That's less than $5 a month. No one is lower around here – Hogansville is five times that and most cities are triple that."
If Grantville increased its millage, each mill will increase the current taxes paid on an $80,000 home an additional $32 a year. Two mills on an $80,000 home would pay the city $118.
"That would still be under $10 a month," Sells said. "With the total value of properties, a one-mill increase would increase revenue to city by $40,000."
After examining the current budget, Councilman David Riley supported a tax rate increase, citing that it would provide a long-term cushion in the budget. Councilman Leonard Gomez agreed. "At the recent GMA (Georgia Municipal Association) meeting, it was mentioned that you want to be within a certain bracket with the millage rate when you're looking for loans, bonds or grants," Gomez said. "They're looking for revenue that a city generates."
Cooks and fellow Councilman Barham Lundy disagreed – citing that better management of the current budget would be a better solution.
"We are spending too much money as it is," Lundy said. "If we just reduce our spending, we won't need to do this."
Riley and Gomez voted for the motion to raise the current millage rate while Cooks and Lundy voted against. With Sells acting as the tie-breaking vote against the measure, the motion failed and the current millage rate will remain unchanged.
Cooks explained that his decision was made for fiscal responsibility.
"If we don't raise taxes, which I am not for, it's important to maintain and manage our budget," Cooks said.

About the CDS - Responsibilities
The Chief of the Defence Staff has primary responsibility for command, control and administration of the Canadian Forces and military strategy, plans and requirements.
The Chief of the Defence Staff is appointed by the Governor-in-Council on the advice of the Prime Minister. The CDS also has a special relationship to the Governor General who, as the Queen's representative in Canada, exercises virtually all of her powers under the Constitution and, therefore, serves as Commander in Chief of the Canadian Forces. Thus there is in formal terms, though not in practice, a direct "line of command" from the Head of State through the CDS to all the officers who hold the Queen's Commission and, through them, to all members of the Canadian Forces.
The Chief of the Defence Staff is charged with the command, control and administration of the Canadian Forces and advises the Minister on all these matters - including military requirements, capabilities, options and the possible consequences of undertaking or failing to undertake various military activities. Whenever required, the Chief of the Defence Staff advises the Prime Minister and Cabinet directly on major military developments.

Disney says it never planned to get rid of the original version of its 11th princess, 'Merida,' which made headlines last week after parents criticized a thinner, sexier look.
Parents were outraged last week when the new look surfaced, even starting a Change.org petition that had more than 212,000 supporters signed the petition seeking to reverse the makeover.
But Disney representatives said the sexier version was created specifically for her introduction as a princess and is only to be used for a limited line of products based on her coronation.
Disney said they are keeping the original version of Merida for widespread use. If you look on Disney's website, the original Merida is still featured.
Brave earned $237 million in the United States and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

Bought a couple of "Mercier's" one for the wife and one for me. Put them both together tonight and notice that if I push with my foot from the side of the bottom braket, her crank slips in, then if I push from the other side it slips the other way. As if there were no lateral stop on the bottom bracket axle.
I've downloaded the technical notes on the cranks and notice that for the 6603 (triple) there is a spacer to use. (Wondering if this was an error and the spacer is for the 20 spd version.) No spacer on either bike.
Do I just need to loosen the allen bolts on the left crank and slide it toward the bearing? Or do I need a special tool for the crank axle bolt to tighten that (Tool TL-FC16)?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Okay, well there is an active thread in the Edge right now about Charlie & Meryl doing the blogging for the lead up to the Winter Games.
Also Meryl & Charlie fans should know about the Meryl & Charlie fansite, which has tons of photos and all videos of them, as well as links to their tweets & their schedule, and about every article ever written about them.

I love BOTH V&M and D&W! Their rivalry is the best part of Ice Dance for me. What are your favorite programs from D&W? Mine are Phantom of the Opera, Die Fledermaus, and Samson and Delilah. D&W have such power in their skating and their lifts are always so amazing. Wishing them a successful season!
Phantom of the Opera: Very expressive and unforgettable, with great highlights and great use of the music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8-tHl1hGEU
Die Fledermaus: This program is BIG and BOLD and it sweeps you up in its grandeur. The costumes are fabulous and I love the color of Meryl's dress. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJtPtv6F3Eo
Samson and Delilah: So gorgeous and it flows really well. Even though this music is somewhat overused in figure skating, this program was choreographed well and performed well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njQDirZTLmI
I will never forget their Bollywood OD either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56_Zs10qQhQ

Both teams are wonderful in different ways!
I really, really loved their Giselle SD at Skate America So unexpected from Meryl and Charlie to go a ballet route for a polka. Anyone who liked their Die Fledermaus program should like it.
My favorite programs of theirs are Samson & Delilah, Die Fledermaus, and Giselle & Bollywood.
Charlie and Meryl are my favorite dance team EVER. I honestly felt they got robbed at Worlds last year. V & M are an outstanding dance team but I just felt Charlie and Meryl's program was more difficult and more intricate. This is the only team in dance or pairs where I can't take my eyes off the man. Charlie is probably the best male ice dancer IMO.
Ice-dance.com has some great photos of Meryl & Charlie:
Skate America Short Dance (the photos next & previous are also of them)
Skate America Free Dance (the photos next are also of them)
Ice Network has a recent interview with Meryl & Charlie up on this page, done during US Sectionals.
I don't know whether you have to be a member to view it.
Thanks as always, Doris.
Apparently a subscription to IN is necessary to view the Davis/White interview from Sectionals.
After I clicked on your link, a box popped up requiring either logging in or purchase of a subscription.
Davis and White are one of my favourite dance teams ever! I love how fierce and exciting they are. Already love this season's Giselle polka, it's lovely, best SD of all the teams IMO. A bit concerned about the FD, but hopefully they'll work on it and it will grow on me.
My all-time favourite dances of theirs are: Eleanor Rigby (really loved the first version at SA the most, though I understand why they changed it), Bollywood, Il Postino and Die Fledermaus.
I became a serious fan of D/W's from last season with Die Fledermaus although Bollywood is the one that caught my eyes for them. While I also adore V/M, I quite agree that each team has their own qualities to offer to figure skating, and that it's just like apples and oranges.
I started a new thread in The Edge for the NHL.com article and video featuring Charlie White.
I just put up a thread in the Edge where Marina is interviewed. It is mostly about V&M and the Shibs at CoR, but there is a section about Meryl & Charlie.
Apparently the DF lift they kept in their FD was at the request of judges.

A. H. Almaas is the pen name of Hameed Ali, the originator of the Diamond Approach, a contemporary spiritual path that has grown within the context of many spiritual traditions and modern psychological knowledge. He has been guiding individuals and groups since 1970. He is the author of many books, including the Unfolding Now and the Facets of Unity.
Being and Human Being
(Friday night keynote)
Ordinarily, we live fragmented lives. We are fragmented as who and what we are, and so is the world in which we live. Even when we are not aware of the fragmented nature of conventional experience it still lacks completeness, both in depth and breadth. We can awaken to our being, our true nature, what is fundamentally real within us. It turns out it is also the nature of everything, and hence the unity of the multiplicity. Recognizing our true nature as what we truly are, we can begin to see the wholeness of all of reality, and the many ways it is unified and complete. Such wholeness can then express itself in a human wholeness, as a microcosm that both embodies and expresses the macrocosm. Being, totally beyond description, can express itself as a unique human being who reveals the beautiful qualities of Being. This is not a given in awakening, but a further step, or a different type of realization, with its own processes and kind of knowledge. Our lives can become, when approached from the place of true nature, a journey of maturation, ripening, and revelation of the secrets of reality in the unique way we are as human beings.
The Total Human Being with Karen Johnson & A. H. Almaas (Hameed Ali)
We will explore how to open up the true potential of being human. What is the real human being who Is not disconnected from the whole, but the direct expression of the totality of being? A total human being can express the whole; be the expression of the whole; or even be the totality of the whole. Just as the universe is within a grain of sand, a human being contains the vastness of the universe. There will be presentations, discussions, and personal inquiry into the experience of these possibilities, and the impediments in the way of actualizing them.

Three schools were on lockdown in Aliamanu due to a manhunt for two men who robbed the American Savings Bank at the Salt Lake Shopping Center Tuesday morning.
It happened at around 10:30 a.m. Police say they are looking for two armed masked men in their 20s.

2013 Bold Predictions
Well, preseason has officially started, so it's prediction time. We did this the last two years.
2011: http://draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=48344
2012: http://draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53628
The rules are simple. Make five picks plus one homer pick. And make them bold. No "Minnesota is going to miss the playoffs and Indianapolis is going to win the AFC South." Also, it must be something that can be determined righrt or wrong by the Super Bowl, so no "Marquess Wilson will be the best receiver from this draft" predictions.
1. All the preseason hype is on Miami to be the team that finally pushes New England. But Buffalo, led by the runaway winner of the OROTY EJ Manuel, will be that team.
2. The Andy Reid-Alex Smith experiment is a massive failure, with Kansas City only winning only 5 games.
3. Seattle, the hot pick to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, falls short of those expectations, going 7-9.
4. Denard Robinson is the only player to challenge EJ Manuel for OROTY after scoring 12+ TDs in 5 different ways (punt return, kick return, rushing, receiving, & passing).
5. Denver finishes 14-2 with their only losses coming week one against Baltimore and the last game against Oakland when Peyton Manning is resting for the playoffs.
Homer: Matt Forte leads the league in yards from scrimmage (1,948) and total TD (17).
1. The NFC West will have 3 teams in the playoffs with the Cardinals missing out but being 7-9
2. San Diego will return to the playoffs with a wild card berth
3. No RB will come within 500 yards of 2000 this year
4. Tavon Austin runs away with OROTY with close to 2000 all purpose yards
5. Both Jacksonville and Oakland surprise people this year and neither ends up with the first overall pick...that honor goes to the Tennessee Titans
Homer Pick. Rob Gronkowski will miss the first 6 games on PUP but still finishes the year with double digit TDs
1. The Jets make the playoffs.
2. Manti Te'o finds a real girlfriend and lives happily ever after
3. Aaron Hernandez returns Week 16 after months of buildup and hype surrounding it ala Derrick Rose.
4. St. Louis Rams win the division after Kaepernick and Wilson both struggle in their second year starting. Bradford is gonna have a huge year!
5. Tampa Bay has the best defence in the league and Darrelle Revis wins DPOTY.
Homer: Jake Locker wins MVP and as he accepts the award he drops the mic and retires, citing the reason that he always wanted to follow his dream and become a grad assistant at the University of Washington.
1. Bills will win AFC East
2. 3 teams from the AFC South will make the playoffs (IND, TEN, HOU)
3. Every team in the AFC North will finish within 1 or 2 games of eachother
4. Cardinals will finish ahead of Seahawks and make the playoffs
1. Jets make the playoffs
2. San Francisco misses the playoffs
3. The sack record gets broken
4. Denard Robinson replaces MJD as the feature back in Jacksonville
5. Jay Cutler is a better and more productive qb in 2013/2014 than Aaron Rodgers
Homer pick: The Giants have a top 3 offense in the NFL.
1. One of the early super bowl favorite teams loses their starting QB early on and end up picking in the top 10.
2. Alex Smith-Andy Reid combo win a playoff game their 1st season together.
3. Oakland Raiders finish with a .500 or above record.
4. Tim Tebow actually becomes a viable contributor to the New England Patriots.
5. Sanchez has more TDs then turnovers this year.
Homer Pick: Geno Atkins breaks Warren Sapp record of 16.5 sacks in a season for a DT.
1. Neither the Seahawks nor the 49ers will make it past the first round of the playoffs, and one or maybe even both of these teams might even fail to make the playoffs.
2. At least 2 of the 4 young "breakout" QBs from last year (Kaepernick, Wilson, RGIII, Luck) will have a terrible season and regress severely.
3. The Rams will be the best team in the NFC West, win the division, and make a deep playoff run behind a top-5 defense and a much improved offense.
4. The Chicago Bears surprise everyone as Mark Tresstman turns Jay Cutler into a top-3 QB, the defense plays well, and they obtain the #1 seed in the NFC.
5. The Patriots have a stunning fall from grace - Tom Brady suddenly looks old, the defense is bad as ever, and none of the offensive skill positions look good. They fail to make the playoffs with Brady under center for the first time in many years.
2. Very possible. Wilson and RGIII would be my guesses.
3. I am a Sam Bradford hater so HAHAHAHAHAHA
4. Would love to see it happen but I doubt it.
5. I won't buy a Brady collapse until I see it.
1. Packers and Ravens miss the playoffs
2. Bengals in AFC Champ game
3. Cardinals make the playoffs as a wild card
4. Russel Wilson sucks badly in year 2
5. Lions win the division and a playoff game
I don't think it's possible for RG3/CK/Wilson/Luck to have terrible sophomore seasons. Maybe average seasons and non-pro bowl, but I can't see them flat out sucking like Mark Sanchez.
THe biggest question mark among all four is can RG3 play healthy all season, otherwise I think each one of them plays on a similar level or better than last season.
I totally expect Luck's completion percentage to jump 10 points and his passing TDs to go up 10-12.
Don't hate. All those guys happen to be good young QBs.
Strong arms, good decision makers, clutch and accurate passers.
1. The Patriot's offense shifts to their running backs and Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen both post 1000 yards from scrimmage.
2. Braylon Edwards shows he's not quite done yet and takes advantage of the Jets lack of depth at... offense... to post the second-best statistical season of his career.
3. Alex Smith posts career numbers across the board and makes his first Pro Bowl as the Chiefs make the playoffs.
4. The Falcons can't maintain their level of separation over their quietly-improved NFC South competition and miss the playoffs.
5. Detroit's defensive line flips a switch and the improved quality/consistency of play is enough to allow the tweaked offense to carry the team to 10 wins and a playoff birth. Reggie Bush leads all running backs in receptions and make the Pro Bowl.
6. (Homer prediction) Golden Tate becomes Seattle's number one receiver and posts somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 yards and 10 TDs on ~70 catches.
1. Eagles and Raiders tie for the worst record in the league.
2. Bills upset the Pats for the Division Crown, with EJ Manuel taking OROY
3. Andy Dalton leads the Bengals to the North Crown and makes the Pro Bowl.
4. Baltimore fails to make the Playoffs
5. Bears Regret firing Lovie Smith as they fall apart.
6. Saints finish below .500 (NO DEFENSE Imrpovements)
7. Cowboys win the East
8. Rams fail to live up to the offseason hype.
9. Cheifs make the wild card in the AfC
10. Colin Kaepernick wins NFL MVP
I will not involve any homer picks for the Bills in the predictions:
1.) Carson Palmer has a 4000 yd passing season.
2.) Jamaal Charles wins MVP
3.) The Detroit Lions win the NFC North.
4.) Shane Vereen has 1500 YFS for the Pats.
5.) Foles will take over as QB by midseason for the Eagles.
1) The Eagles offense surprises the league and paves the way to them making the playoffs. I think the Chip Kelly might just surprise everyone or fail hard.
2) Luck gets in the MVP race. His completing percentage jumps 10%, adds 12 Tds and cuts out 8 Ints. The Colts also win the AFCSouth.
3) Only 1 team from the NFCW makes the playoffs at 11 wins. With all of the teams getting more decent they take each other out.
4) Bengals represent the AFC in the Superbowl. Dalton steps up and plays like a winner.
5) The Patriots offense falls off a lot. When Amendola gets hurt, the weapons just won't be there. Brady will have to shoulder more of the burden and his turnovers go up. The running backs will get theirs but the offense won't be nearly as productive. They still win the division because the other 3 are worse.
6) Kaepernick come down to earth with a rocky sophomore season. The read option gets less substantial gains and impact. He also deals with some minor injuries that hurt his mobility. He won't be outright bad, but he will struggle at times.
7) STL, TB, MIN, DAL, HOU, & OAK all decide to start making plans to move on to new QBs. They might not cut guys immediately, but they make the appropriate steps to draft/sign new ones.
8) Aaron Rodgers misses significant time (4-8 games over the year) because of his crappy OL. VY comes in and plays like a decent back up because of the quality of the WR core & new run game and actually wins a little less than half his starts.
9) Jacksonville gets 1 win and has to decide between Clowney and being suck with Gabbert still or Bridgewater and passing on a certain all pro.
10) Peyton Manning breaks the passing TD record again at 52 TDS and has 3 1,000 yard receivers again. The Broncos go 14-2 and then Peyton loses in the playoffs.
-Homer: Joe Flacco finally breaks 4k passing and 30TDs. The playoffs version is the real deal and he and Torrey form the best deep ball combo in the league. Deepballs. All. Day. Long.
-Adrian Peterson gets disillusioned by Ponders ineptitude and walks away for the year. Toby Gerhart then runs for 2098 yards and refuses to pass the ball.
-Ravens get desperate for receivers and bring out the rolodex and bring back Clarence Moore. He goes off for 500 yards and 3 TD over the season. The game is never the same.
1. Cam Newton leads the Panthers to a Wild Card Berth including 35+ Total Touchdowns.
2. Manti Te'o wins Defensive ROY
3. Andy Dalton throws for 4,500+ Yards leading the Bengals to the Divisional Round to lose to the Denver Broncos.
4. Superbowl XLVIII will consist of the Houston Texans vs. New Orleans Saints
5. The all-time sack record will finally be broken this year by Cameron Wake
Homer Prediction: Christian Ponder silents the haters and shows improvement by throwing for 3,300-3,700 yards with 25 touchdowns.
1. Two NFC wildcard teams will come from the same division
2. Bengals win the AFC North
3. Ryan Matthews has 1,200 yards for the Chargers
4. Eli Mannings injury streak snaps
5. Marcus Lattimore scores a TD this season.
Homer: Saints defense is Top 10 in INTs this season.
1) Adrian Peterson falls from grace, getting between 1200 and 1300 rushing yards.
2) JJ Watt picks up less than 10 sacks.
3) Chris Johnson rushes for over 1400 yards
4) Matt Ryan finally wins his superbowl
5) Titans make the playoff
*Made two homer picks, so sue me
Rob Ryan is in an epic failure in new orleans and is relegated to being a position coach, where he belongs, for the rest of his career. his days of living off his familys reputation finally come to an end.
1. Rams are going to take one of the NFC West's 2 playoff spots.
2. The Falcons will be one and done again in the playoffs.
3. Sam Bradford will be the most impressive young QB in the NFC West
4. The Bears will get the NFC's 2nd WC spot as the Giants and Falcons round out the playoff teams in the NFC
5. Tennesse is going to blow away expectations on offense as Womack and Levitre will turn that OL into a force again that blows holes open for CJ to show people that he still has it. On the back of that Jake Locker will take big steps and turn that offense into one of the more explosive young groups around.
Homer: The giants offense, my god. Randle beasting alongside Cruz and Nicks gives us a trio as nasty as any in the NFL and David Wilson will make big plays all day long, with Eli making it all work behind an improved OL that offense is just going to be disgusting.
Bucs win NFCS.
- A rookie DB will lead the league in INTs.
- Arian Foster will start to decline, and wont crack the 3.9 ypc mark.
- Justin James Watt will be the first player to win back to back DPOY awards.
- Andrew Luck will improve greatly, and by the end of the season he will be widely considered to be a top 5 QB. I expect great improvement in tds, completion%, as well as him taking less sacks and throwing less picks.
- Janoris Jenkins will be a pro bowler, maybe even an all pro.
- Brian Hartline will be Miamis leading WR in receptions and tds.
- The Falcons defense will be in the buttom 3 in the league in sacks made. The defenses lack of pass rush will eventually lead to the team once again not getting to the Super Bowl.
- As previously stated, the sack record will be broken.
Homer pick: The Ravens defense will lead the league in sacks.

OverviewCinematronics Inc. was founded in 1975 in El Cajon, California. The company manufactured coin-op games as well as arcade action games for the Vectrex console and then branched into the Commodore 64. Their most well-known games include Space Wars and Dragon's Lair, their first laser disc game.
Cinematronics financial situation deteriorated after some bad decisions, and it filed bankruptcy proceedings under Chapter 11 hoping to reorganize and recover. Unfortunately their efforts failed, and the company was acquired by Tradewest in 1987 in an unfriendly take-over. The company was renamed The Leland Corporation, after one of Tradewest's co-founders Leland Cook. John Rowe (another Tradewest co-founder) was chosen to run the operation, which remained in El Cajon.
Games under the Leland Corporation name were released from 1987 until 1992. In early 1993 game releases showing the new name of Leland Interactive Media appeared.
When parent company Tradewest was acquired by WMS Industries in 1994, Leland (and Tradewest) ceased to exist.

The Father of All Things: A Marine, His Son, and the Legacy of Vietnamby Tom Bissell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In April 1975, as Saigon fell to the North Vietnamese Army, John Bissell, a former Marine officer living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, was glued to his television. Struggling to save his marriage, raise his sons, and live with his memories of the war in Vietnam, Bissell found himself racked with anguish and horror as his country abandoned a cause for which so many of his friends had died.
Opening with a gripping account of the chaotic and brutal last month of the war, The Father of All Things is Tom Bissell's powerful reckoning with the Vietnam War and its impact on his father, his country, and Vietnam itself. Through him we learn what it was like to grow up with a gruff but oddly tender veteran father who would wake his children in the middle of the night when the memories got too painful. Bissell also explores the many debates about the war, from whether it was winnable to Ho Chi Minh's motivations to why America's leaders lied so often. Above all, he shows how the war has continued to influence American views on foreign policy more than thirty years later.
At the heart of this book is John and Tom Bissell's unforgettable journey back to Vietnam. As they travel the country and talk to Vietnamese veterans, we relive the war as John Bissell experienced it, visit the site of his near-fatal wounding, and hear him explain how Vietnam shaped him and so many of his generation.
This is the first major book about the war by an author who grew up after the fall of Saigon. It is a fascinating, all-too-relevant work about the American character — and about war itself. It is also a wise and moving book about fathers, sons, and the universal desire to understand who our parents were before they became our parents.
"In his fourth book, journalist and fiction writer Bissell (Chasing the Sea) revisits the much-trodden territory of the Vietnam War to offer a fresh perspective: that of the adult children of the war's veterans. On assignment for GQ magazine, Bissell and his ex-Marine father, John, retrace the elder Bissell's tour of duty through a now mostly peaceful and prosperous Vietnam. The first of the book's three sections narrates the historical leadup to Saigon's fall in 1975, spliced with Bissell's imagined vision of his family on the night Saigon fell (his parents' marriage was rapidly collapsing due to John's postwar trauma and alcoholism). Next comes an exhaustively researched history of the war — including a harrowing retelling of the My Lai massacre, during which civilians were brutally murdered by crazed American soldiers — within the narrative of the father-son trip, aided by Truong and Hien, their entertaining and illuminating Vietnamese tour guides. As Bissell repeatedly presses his father to confess regrets about Vietnam, the two push toward an ambivalent sense of closure on national and personal wounds. A final, less effective, section gathers testimonials from American and Vietnamese veterans' children. This humorous memoir, travelogue and accessible history — the author's most ambitious book — confirms Bissell's status as a rising star of American literature." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Recent years have brought an avalanche of first-person memoirs from veterans of the Vietnam War. But what we hadn't seen, until very recently, were sons and daughters of those veterans offering their own insights on the war's continuing personal and political legacies. Nowcomes Tom Bissell's 'The Father of All Things,' a powerful and unusual take on the war, his father and their often... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) turbulent relationship. How unusual? No other book in the enormous Vietnam canon combines a modern Vietnam travelogue, a history of the war and a rumination on its fallout in the psyches of a father and son. Former Marine Capt. John Bissell fought in Vietnam in 1965-66. His hazardous tour of duty has haunted him ever since, and he has spent decades trying to come to grips with it. Since childhood, Tom Bissell also has been affected by his father's wartime experiences. John Bissell's particular case of postwar emotional trauma included alcohol abuse, a turbulent marriage (and divorce), and obsessive rantings to his young sons about the life-and-death decisions he was forced to make in Vietnam. 'While growing up, I had associated nearly everything about my father with the Marine Corps and Vietnam,' Tom Bissell writes. 'This strange, lost war, simultaneously real and unimaginable, forced (children of Vietnam veterans) to confront the past before we had any idea of what the past really was. The war made us think theoretically long before we had the vocabulary to do so. Despite its remoteness, the war's aftereffects were inescapably intimate. At every meal Vietnam sat down, invisibly, with our families.' Born in 1974, after his father returned from Vietnam, Tom Bissell graduated from Michigan State, served in the Peace Corps in Uzbekistan and went on to travel the globe and to carve out a notable literary career. A previous book, 'God Lives in St. Petersburg,' brought him a Rome fellowship from the American Academy of Letters. Throughout his life, Bissell says, it sometimes 'felt as though Vietnam was all my father and I had ever talked about; sometimes it felt as though we had never really talked about it.' Bissell remedies that failure in his well-crafted book, the heart of which is his account of the life-changing trip he and his father made to Vietnam in 2003. 'I was almost thirty years old, my father just past sixty,' Bissell writes. 'It staggered me, suddenly, how little relative time we still had left together. I knew that if I wanted to find the unknown part of my father I would have to do it soon, in Vietnam, where he had been made and unmade, killed and resurrected.' Bissell goes on to write eloquently about what happened on the trip. He also provides a surprisingly in-depth look at the history of the war and offers thoughtful assessments on just about every aspect of the conflict, from Gen. William Westmoreland's incompetent leadership to the abilities of the largely 'corrupt, spineless, and endlessly inept' South Vietnamese military and political leadership. 'The Father of All Things' is a one-of-a-kind accomplishment that provides ample evidence of the long-lasting impact of the Vietnam War among the families of the 2.8 million Americans who took part in it. Wars, in general, Tom Bissell says, wound 'everyone right down the line. Take the 58,000 American soldiers lost in Vietnam and multiply by four, five, six — and only then does one begin to realize the damage this war had done.' Marc Leepson is book editor and columnist for the VVA Veteran, the newspaper published by the Vietnam Veterans of America."

(hide most of this review)
"Bissell delivers a riveting, you-are-there account of the fall of Saigon — not just the dust-kicking helicopters and hands poking through embassy gates, but the behind-the-scenes activities of the likes of Donald Rumsfeld and Henry Kissinger." Kirkus Reviews
"A permanent contribution to the essential literature of America's catastrophic misadventure in Vietnam....This is a triumphant piece of work." Norman Rush
"In this touching, sometimes comic portrayal of a son's struggles to understand and cope with a father's dark experiences in Vietnam, Tom Bissell's maturing talents are on full display. He shows that wars never end, not only for the warriors but also for their children." Philip Caputo
"Bissell's prose can veer from skeweringly exact to over-the-top. Still, his keen desire to know the story behind his father's service in Vietnam lends the book an energy that makes it compelling." Seattle Times
"Bissell...brings more than just a 'lifetime of thinking' about Vietnam to his task. He also brings a luminous prose style and, perhaps more important, a clear, fresh eye to events that many of us have allowed to slip into the infuriatingly painful past." New York Times
"Given the volume of history and the breadth of the travel writing, there are times when the book seems to pay insufficient attention to the father-son relationship. But their exchanges are always memorable." Los Angeles Times
Acclaimed author Bissell recounts his journey to Vietnam with his veteran father in this haunting and luminous book as they travel the country together and reflect on the war experience, both from someone who was there and from the son who grew up in its wake.

Flooring Myths Dispelled
By HomeCentrl on Jul 05, 2012
Family Flooring Myths Dispelled
Myths about certain types of flooring being better than others confuse a lot of homeowners who are struggling to make the right choice. The truth is that the right type of flooring for you depends on your home and your lifestyle. Here is a handy guide to choosing the right floor for your family.
Consider your surroundings. Does your home have little or no yard, or is your backyard mostly filled with grass and mud? The environment right outside your door makes a big difference when it comes to choosing the most suitable type of flooring for your home. You also need to consider the structural floors in your home: are they mostly concrete, or do you have floorboards in some or all of the rooms?
Let's take a look at the different types of flooring and their suitability for your home.
Carpet is a cozy and comfortable flooring choice. It is soft on your children's feet and makes your home slightly quieter by muffling noise. However, carpet might not be a suitable choice if your yard is covered in grass and mud. Children love playing in the yard and you will have a hard time preventing them from bringing mud into the house on their shoes. Carpet quickly becomes stained, so you might want to avoid using it in your entrance hall and kitchen.
A common myth about carpet is that it is unhygienic. Some people think that carpet should not be used in the homes of asthma sufferers because it traps dust. However, by immobilizing dust particles, carpet fibers actually stop dust from circulating in the air of your home. These allergy-triggering particles can be removed completely from the home by vacuuming your carpets regularly.
Ceramic tiles are a good option if the ground floor of your house is an uneven concrete slab, since they will cover up any irregularities on the surface. However, ceramic tiles are very hard and brittle, which means glass tumblers that your children drop on the floor are likely to shatter.
Vinyl flooring and linoleum can be used to create the look of a tiled floor without the safety risked posed by hard ceramic tiles. There is a misconception that linoleum is no longer fashionable, but in fact you can buy linoleum flooring in a wide range of contemporary designs and patterns. Vinyl and linoleum floors are very easy to clean.
Wood flooring is a good option for families as it is durable and easy to keep clean. Choose from solid hardwood flooring, which is expensive but can last for decades or even centuries with the proper care, or engineered wood flooring, which consists of plywood or MDF with a hardwood veneer. Be warned that solid wood floors can warp if they are exposed to water or extremes of temperature.
Flooring is a very personal choice. To choose the right flooring for your family, you need to consider your priorities: is it more important to you to have a floor that is durable, comfortable, or easy to clean? By asking yourself these questions, you can make the most suitable choice for your family.

Coming to soon a theater near you - O.J. The Movie!
The knuckleheads behind the botched Las Vegas robbery that landed O.J. Simpson behind bars for up to 33 years are now going to be immortalized in a Hollywood movie.
A script for the film version of the book Busted! - ex-con Thomas Riccio's account of the bungled 2007 Sin City heist - has been making the rounds at top TinselTown agencies and studios,where it's caught the eye of directors Nick Cassavetes and Martin Scorsese among others.
The ENQUIRER has obtained a copy - which casts the main players in a startling light.
The story is Riccio's take on what happened when the former Heisman Trophy winner and Naked Gun star and his henchmen stuck up memorabilia collectors Alfred Beardsley and Bruce Fromong in their Las Vegas hotel room to get back O.J.'s items.
As crazy as it seems, the screwed-up "gang that couldn't shoot straight" is going to be portrayed in the movie as a bunch of heroes.
Riccio - who has been convicted of arson, selling stolen property and escaping from a minimum-security prison - is, of course, depicted as a noble righter of wrongs, instead of a criminal.
The lead character in the movie is based on the 46-year-old jailbird - who's already profited handsomely by selling a secret audiotape of the crime.
He received a combined total of $210,000 for the tape - and also collected a $350,000 advance on the book. Now he stands to pick up a half-million-dollars-plus as a consultant on the movie.
"Riccio is making out like a bandit all the way around on this thing," declared a source connected to the project.
The ex-con sees the film as another Goodfellas. "He's even set up a meeting with Henry Hill, the real-life mobster that the film is based on," revealed the source.
And talk about strange bedfellows - Riccio and Beardsley, who was looking down the barrel of a gun when O.J. and his posse confronted him in the hotel room, recently got together to sign memorabilia.
"These guys will do anything for a buck," concluded the source.

Guide to Waxing pt. 1
If ur all about speed, new to the sport or just curious about waxing techniques, look no further.
Yes there is one thread abt this, but i will get into more detail.
If u r like me and like the feeling of going fast even on flats, then u should wax every 2 trips.
If u just want to keep ur board quenched and not dry, then u should do it every 4-8 trips depending on the conditions.
Remember that fake snow WILL eat away ur wax faster and it is ideal to use a colder wax.
If u use all temp wax, then remember that it will not be as durable as temp specific wax.
For simplicity, u have 2 types of waxes...
1- Hydrocarbons, general purpose wax that can be temp specific
2- Fluoro carbons, more durable and faster than hydrocarbons and r temp specific
Fluorocarbons come in 3 variations: Lo, Hi and 100% fluoro
Lo Fluoro is used for low humidity snow
Hi is used for high humidity snow ( where there is a lot of moisture in the snow )
100% fluoro is the most expensive and used primarily for racing.

We've spent a whole lot of time (and blog space) obsessing over Kate Middleton's gorgeous Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress, and maybe one day we'll get to see it in person.
Kate is planning to publicly display the now-iconic gown, though the exact location of its exhibition is still under consideration. Several of Princess Diana's dresses have been shown at Kensington Palace, so perhaps Kate will follow suit? Others think she may choose to exhibit it at London's Victoria & Albert Museum.
While we understand she probably wants to keep the frock in Britain, may we suggest New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art? The Met sure knows a thing or two about exhibiting McQueen wares. Regardless, Clarence House explains: "The Duchess of Cambridge is considering a number of options to give members of the public the opportunity to see, close up, the skilled British craftsmanship that went into the making of her wedding dress by Sarah Burton and her team as well as the Royal School of Needlework."
If it is displayed across the pond, maybe we'll have to consider a brief transatlantic jaunt?

Inn at Morro Bay Hotel Review: Tucked just inside Morro Bay State Park, this hotel takes full advantage of the area's natural beauty. There is over 10,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor conference and event space, and The Bay Club and Orchid restaurants---serving fresh seafood, grilled meats and a wine list that showcases local vintages---overlook the harbor. The 98 accommodations range from Petite Queens to slightly crowded Double Doubles to a private Bayview Cottage Suite. Many have fireplaces and spas, and all come with balconies, feather beds, down comforters, high-speed Internet access, CD players, mini-refrigerators, coffee makers and complimentary newspapers. While the exterior is reminiscent of Nantucket, the interior design favors French Country style. For relaxation and recreation, there is a full spa and wellness center and a heated outdoor swimming pool, and guests can enjoy the complimentary use of cruiser bikes as well as driving-range balls at the nearby panoramic Morro Bay Golf Course.

It's axiomatic that people go to Hollywood movies in search of unsubtle thrills. The last three decades have seen the stripping away of the grace and mystery previously characterizing American commercial filmmaking at its best. The false gods Television and Internet bestride the ruins of that pagan temple complex from which once issued a stupendous, all-consuming body of work, a 20th C. Renaissance every bit the equal of the first. Instead, we are now treated to an Orgy of the Obvious, in de-sacralized space, by which our emotions are less manipulated than informed of their proper deportment, and in which every character, rather than being as guarded as necessary for survival in daily existence, reveals him or herself an open book, a puppy panting for comprehension and acceptance. Works bearing the influence of the more hifalutin' corners of academic postmodernism often reveal a sub-variant weakness: characters as paper-doll cut-outs, programmed by social forces, cast adrif...

With Sony Ericsson announcing officially that it does not plan on offering any upgrades for the mobile platform on its Xperia X10 devices past the Android 2.1 OS version that it currently rolling out for the handsets, many users would certainly be interested in finding new ways to upgrade their phones to newer OSes.
One such solution comes from a XDA-Developers forum member, is called FlashTool, and is an all-in-one utility through which users would be able to flash original images, root their devices, clean their ROMs, and do more.
Here's what forum member Androxyde in a post on the XDA-Developers forum that the application can do:
- Flash original Images (Android 1.6 & Android 2.1 Images)
- Root your phone
- Install xRecovery, Busybox
- Clean your Rom (remove /system/apps apps of your choice)
- Clear dalvik cache
- Optimize (install of JIT v2)
- Customize (installs apps found in the custom/apps folder of the flashtool)
- Clean uninstalled (remove any references to system apps removed in the Clean (root needed) step)
One thing that should be noted about the application is that it needs to wipe all user data on the device when switching between Android versions, otherwise the phone would keep restarting.
According to the app's maker, "if you have this restarting problem, flash again with Wipe Userdata. If you don't want to loose your apps you have to backup them with Titanium or some other backup tool!"
The new iteration of the app works with ftf (Flash Tool Firmware) files stored in the FlashTool\firmwares\ folder. These files can be built from Advanced > Bundle Creation.
Users would need to specify a Source folder for the sin files, along with Device, Version, and Branding, which are mandatory fields, it seems. Next, they would have to "take sin from the folder list to the firmware list and then click OK," and the ftf file would be created in the firmware folder.
"Firmwares have to come bundled in one file named with a ftf extension (ftf for Flash Tool Firmware). A Create Bundle feature has been added to the tool to create your own firmware bundles. (So no need to Redownload a firmware you already have. Just bundle it). This way it will be easier to package / distribute / integrate firmwares as they come out," the said forum post reads.
