Christian Charles Philip Bale was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK on January 30, 1974, to English parents Jennifer "Jenny" (James) and David Charles Howard Bale. His mother was a circus performer and his father, who was born in South Africa, was a commercial pilot. The family lived in different countries throughout Bale's childhood, including England, Portugal, and the United States. Bale acknowledges the constant change was one of the influences on his career choice.
His first acting job was a cereal commercial in 1983; amazingly, the next year, he debuted on the West End stage in "The Nerd". A role in the 1986 NBC mini-series "Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna" caught Steven Spielberg's eye, leading to Bale's well-documented role in "Empire of the Sun". For the range of emotions he displayed as the star of the war epic, he earned a special award by the National Board of Review for Best Performance by a Juvenile Actor.
Adjusting to fame and his difficulties with attention (he thought about quitting acting early on), Bale appeared in Kenneth Branagh's 1989 adaptation of Shakespeare's "Henry V" and starred as Jim Hawkins in a TV movie version of "Treasure Island". Bale worked consistently through the 1990s, acting and singing in "Newsies", "Swing Kids", "Little Women", "The Portrait of a Lady", "The Secret Agent", "Metroland", "Velvet Goldmine", "All the Little Animals", and "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Toward the end of the decade, with the rise of the Internet, Bale found himself becoming one of the most popular online celebrities around, though he, with a couple notable exceptions, maintained a private, tabloid-free mystique.
Bale roared into the next decade with a lead role in "American Psycho", director Mary Harron's adaptation of the controversial Bret Easton Ellis novel. In the film, Bale played a murderous Wall Street executive obsessed with his own physicality - a trait for which Bale would become a specialist. Subsequently, the 10th Anniversary issue for "Entertainment Weekly" crowned Bale one of the "Top 8 Most Powerful Cult Figures" of the past decade, citing his cult status on the Internet. EW also called Bale one of the "Most Creative People in Entertainment", and "Premiere" lauded him as one of the "Hottest Leading Men Under 30".
Bale was truly on the Hollywood radar at this time, and he turned in a range of performances in the remake "Shaft", "Captain Corelli's Mandolin", the balmy "Laurel Canyon", and "Reign of Fire", a dragons-and-magic commercial misfire that has its share of defenders.
Two more cult films followed: "Equilibrium" and "The Machinist", the latter of which gained attention mainly due to Bale's physical transformation - he dropped a reported 60+ pounds for the role of a lathe operator with a secret that causes him to suffer from insomnia for over a year.
Bale's abilities to transform his body and to disappear into a character influenced the decision to cast him in "Batman Begins", the first chapter in Christopher Nolan's definitive trilogy that proved a dark-themed narrative could resonate with audiences worldwide. The film also resurrected a character that had been shelved by Warner Bros. after a series of demising returns, capped off by Batman and Robin's massive commercial and critical failure. A quiet, personal victory for Bale: he accepted the role after the passing of his father in late 2003, an event that caused him to question whether he would continue performing.
Bale segued into two indie features in the wake of Batman's phenomenal success: "The New World" and "Harsh Times". He continued working with respected independent directors in 2006's "Rescue Dawn", Werner Herzog's feature version of his earlier, Emmy-nominated documentary, "Little Dieter Needs to Fly". Leading up to the second Batman film, Bale starred in "The Prestige", the remake of "3:10 to Yuma", and a reunion with director Todd Haynes in the experimental Bob Dylan biography, "I'm Not There.".
Anticipation for "The Dark Knight" was spun into unexpected heights with the tragic passing of Heath Ledger, whose performance as The Joker became the highlight of the sequel. Bale's graceful statements to the press reminded us of the days of the refined Hollywood star as the second installment exceeded the box-office performance of its predecessor.
Bale's next role was the eyebrow-raising decision to take over the role of John Connor in the Schwarzenegger-less "Terminator Salvation", followed by a turn as federal agent Melvin Purvis in Michael Mann's "Public Enemies". Both films were hits but not the blockbusters they were expected to be.
For all his acclaim and box-office triumphs, Bale would earn his first Oscar in 2011 in the wake of "The Fighter"'s critical and commercial success. Bale earned the Best Supporting Actor award for his portrayal of Dicky Eklund, brother to and trainer of boxer "Irish" Micky Ward, played by Mark Wahlberg. Bale again showed his ability to reshape his body with another gaunt, skeletal transformation.
Bale then turned to another auteur, Yimou Zhang, for the epic "The Flowers of War", in which Bale portrayed a priest trapped in the midst of the Rape of Nanking. Bale earned headlines for his attempt to visit with Chinese civil-rights activist Chen Guangcheng, which was blocked by the Chinese government.
Bale capped his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman in "The Dark Knight Rises"; in the wake of the Aurora, Colorado tragedy, Bale made a quiet pilgrimage to the state to visit with survivors of the attack that left theatergoers dead and injured. He also starred in the thriller "Out of the Furnace" with "Crazy Heart" writer/director Scott Cooper, and the drama-comedy "American Hustle", reuniting with David O. Russell.
Bale will re-team with "The New World" director Terrence Malick for two upcoming projects: "Knight of Cups" and an as-yet-untitled drama.
In his personal life, he devotes time to charities including Greenpeace and the World Wildlife Foundation. He lives with his wife, Sibi Blazic, and their daughter, Emmeline.

Blood clot in head
My wife has been having severe headaches for about 8 months now. She had told me a while back it felt like she had an anurysm. We were in a domestic dispute and I unfortunately hit her in the head. She said she was seeing a doctor, and he said that there was a blood clot in her head and nothing could be done about it. I feel terrible about what happened but I would like to help her find a solution to fix her headaches and take care of whatever is in there. Please let me know.
Unfortunately, you have not provided enough information for me to be able to provide you with an answer. If you could resubmit a more specific question, I would be happy to try to answer it. Specifically it would help to know what type of blood clot (was it a subdural hematoma)? If it was a subdural, the blood clot will typically dissolve with time although headaches may remain.
With regard to headaches after trauma, they, too, may go away on their own with time. In the interim, medical treatment can help. I do not know if your wife's doctor is a neurologist. If not, it may be helpful to consider referral to a neurologist.
I hope this helps.

User:National Institute sandbox 5bV
The original content for this article was contributed by The National Institute for Genealogical Studies in June 2012. It is an excerpt from their course United States: Institutional Records by Amy Johnson Crow, CG. The Institute offers over 200 comprehensive genealogy courses for a fee ($).
The Homeless Children (in Institutions) schedule gives information that may not otherwise be available (especially for private institutions).
| Questions on this schedule are:
1. Is the child's father deceased?
2. Is the child's mother deceased?
3. Has the child been abandoned by his (or her) parents?
4. Has this child's parents surrendered the control over him (or her) to the institution?
5. Was this child born in the institution?
6. If no so born, state year when admitted.
7. Is the child illegitimate?
8. Is this child separated from his or her (living) mother?
9. Has he (or she) ever been arrested? If yes, for what alleged offense?
10. Has he (or she) ever been convicted or sentenced?
11. Has the origin of this child been respectable?
12. Has he (or she) been rescued from criminal surroundings?
13. Is this child blind?
14. Is he (or she) a deaf-mute?
15. Is he (or she) an idiot?
If there are any notations to questions 9 or 10, it is wise to follow up with local police and court records. Probate records, especially in the cases where parents surrendered control (question 4), should be examined for possible guardianship records. Death records should be examined if either of the parents are deceased.
Figure: Homeless Children in Institutes (county Almshouse), District 20, New Castle County, Delaware
The Prisoners schedule asks for the alleged offense, date of incarceration, length of sentence, and labor performed in the penitentiary.
Inhabitants in Prison Schedule, District 35, Kent County, Delaware
The Pauper and Indigent Inhabitants (in Institutions) schedule asks who is supporting the person (city, county, state, or institution), physical condition, type of disability (if applicable), and date of admission. It also asks what other members of the family are in the institution (spouse, parent, children, and siblings). With this information, it may be possible to reconstruct a family in the institution.
The Pauper schedule also asked if the person was blind, deaf and dumb, insane, or idiotic. The Prisoner and Homeless Children schedules also asked for this information. However, the Pauper schedule is the only one where the enumerator was instructed to then carry that person over to the other schedule as appropriate. Therefore, it is possible for a person to be enumerated on more than one special schedule.
The Pauper schedule should be used in conjunction with the Homeless Children schedule for institutions with both adults and children. The adults were to be listed on the Pauper schedule, while the children were placed on the Homeless Children schedule. When the Pauper schedule indicates that a person has a child in the institution, be certain to look at the Homeless Children schedule.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/4/2010 (2675 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
First Nations are known to use humour to cope with situations that would have other people in complete despair. Nowhere is this more evident than in Pukatawagan, where they sell T-shirts proclaiming the local college as "Puk U." Not only will you hear lots of laughter in places where people gather, but the signs are evident throughout the community.
A snapshot of the rundown neighbourhoods in Puk makes it obvious the community resembles a troubled American ghetto, so residents have come to calling sections "The Bronx" or "L'il Chicago." They have even put up street signs and while there has never been any official naming ceremony or statute passed, this is how the people identify themselves and provide outsiders with directions.
"Take LA road past L'il Chicago and if you hit the Bronx, you've gone too far," they'll say to outsiders asking for directions.
LA road is not only named after Los Angeles. The road runs along four lagoons and is commonly referred to as Lagoon Avenue or "LA."
You talk to residents about the severe overcrowding, 20 to 25 people sharing a house and they will respond, "Yeah, but every meal is like Christmas dinner!"
There is even one neighbourhood they call Chinatown because when the 10 houses there were built, they were all painted green and somebody had seen a picture of Chinese pagodas which were all painted green, and the name stuck.
The street signs look like something out of the television series M*A*S*H*. Some of the local men have even gone to far as to paint a huge, white Pukatawagan sign on the side of a large outcrop which overlooks the community. The resemblance to the famous "Hollywood" sign overlooking Los Angeles is obvious.
Outside influences filter into Puk and they get twisted by local humourists to make the days pass by in a more pleasant way. Some of the local labourers were provided with a pickup truck which has an attachment making it resemble a HumVee. When assigned to go pick up some lumber for a construction job, they'll say, "We'll use 'Taliban' (the truck's name now) for that job."
Riding around with Chief Arlen Dumas, you get a fascinating insight into the history of this community. Arlen knows everybody because everybody knows everybody in Puk.
The chief is concerned most about the overcrowding and he notes the innovative ways people have found shelter where none existed.
"We had trailers for temporary teacher residences, and then they were to be returned, but families moved in while they were in storage waiting to be discarded. They are not suitable for long-term use except in some Third World but because our people were forced to use them for shelter, some government officials want those units counted as official housing to decrease our demand."
We drive by an old, one-storey, one-bedroom stucco shack -- the kind of building that used to be in vogue but isn't built anymore. Chief Dumas points out that used to be the home of Hyacinth Colomb -- an elder, a master trapper who used to be president of the Pukatawagan Trappers Association.
"We were thinking about restoring that house and turning it into some kind of museum or heritage place or something," Dumas said.
"But then somebody would move in."

Microsoft Extends Sales of Windows XP
Purav Sanghani
September 28, 2007 12:34 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Taking into consideration customer and partner requests, Microsoft will sell Windows XP for another 5 months
In a recent press release Microsoft announced it will
extend sales of its Windows XP
operating system to OEMs and retail channels for five months over the initial end date, through June 30, 2008. The move comes after a great amount of feedback from customers and partners regarding the original end-of-sale date of January 31, 2008.
Mike Nash, the corporate vice president of Windows Product Management, stated, "While we've been pleased with the positive response we've seen and heard from customers using Windows Vista, there are some customers who need a little more time to make the switch to Windows Vista."
Nash went on to say that Microsoft's original policy of a four-year availability of operating systems to OEM and retail channels had been established in 2002. However, due to the delays in the launch of Windows Vista, Microsoft felt that offering Windows XP for sale for an additional five months would make more sense.
When asked about what Microsoft was hearing in terms of feedback from customers regarding Windows Vista Nash stated, "With more than 60 million licenses sold as of this summer, Windows Vista is on track to be the fastest-selling operating system in Microsoft's history."
Microsoft's Nash feels that the strong sales thus far are due to the doubling of sales of pre-built desktop and laptop computers bundled with Windows Vista as the primary OS. However, recently Microsoft also decided to offer OEMs the
option to let customers downgrade
from Windows Vista to Windows XP.
"You can bet that Sony built a long-term business plan about being successful in Japan and that business plan is crumbling." -- Peter Moore, 24 hours before his Microsoft resignation

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has unanimously approved the nomination of Leon Panetta to be the next Pentagon chief.
Panetta will replace Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who is retiring June 30 after 4 ½ years on the job through the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Panetta currently is CIA director. He has served in the House as a California congressman, headed the Budget Committee and was director of the Office of Management and Budget. He also was chief of staff to former President Bill Clinton.
He takes over the Pentagon with a crowded agenda — overseeing the drawdown of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, likely implementing the new policy to let gays serve openly in the military, handling the Libyan conflict and cutting the budget.

Twisted Mixtape Tuesday, and it's all about covers this week. I kind of had a hard time remembering the cover songs I like, because for some reason all the cover songs I HATE kept popping up in my head (I'm looking at you, Britney, with your horrifying rendition of "I Love Rock & Roll"). But I want this to be a positive mixtape, so I'm ignoring my cranky tendencies and celebrating those songs that are still pretty awesome the second time around.
1. Me First & the Gimme Gimmes – Tomorrow
Me First & the Gimme Gimmes is a band that pretty much does all covers, so it's hard to pick just one of their songs. I think I have to go with "Tomorrow," though "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a superclose second.
2. Alien Ant Farm – Smooth Criminal
So I won't say it's better than the MJ original, but it just has such a different sound. Alien Ant Farm kind of made it into their own song, so it's hard to compare it to the original. That's about as technical as I'm going to get – I just love the song.
3. The White Stripes – Jolene
I've never really heard Dolly Parton do this song. I've never been a big Dolly fan so I'm ok with that. Jack White could sing a song about a turd and make it sound breathtaking. I'm not saying this song is a turd – he's just that damn talented.
4. Nirvana – The Man Who Sold The World
Will I be lambasted if I admit that the first time I ever heard this song was when Nirvana played it? In this very video? I didn't even know it was a cover for the longest time (no offense, David Bowie, I just wasn't that into you back when I was going to marry Kurt Cobain). I worshiped Nirvana back in the day. I hated Courtney Love just because she married my Kurt. And when he killed himself, my (12-year-old) world shattered. This is my favorite Nirvana album, and while this isn't my favorite song off there, I still dig it.
5. Red Hot Chili Peppers – Higher Ground
Soooo…there's this movie called Center Stage that for some reason, I absolutely adore. Love it. It's mostly about ballet, but at one point they do an awesome some-other-kind-of-dance to this song. Ever since then, it's been rotating in and out of my workout playlist. Plus I like to pretend I can do the moves from the movie (I can't). Sorry, Stevie, your original doesn't get me moving the way this one does!
Don't forget to check out the rest of the mixtapes at http://jenkehl.com/music/twisted-mix-tape-cover-songs-playlist/. You may find a few you like (or hate, depending on your mood). Mad props, as always, to Jen for hosting!!

I am looking for the Konosuke HD 240 mm rather than the 210 mm.
yes, I have seen the Addict HD version but he is too expensive for my budget.
So you don't think that the konosuke is a little too demanding or difficult for a first good knife ? In terms of sharpenning and use I mean.
In another register, I have a knife with some scratches on the blade.they are not pronfonde, they just produce a reflection. Is there any way to erased it ? Maybe with a polish ?
Thanks again for your help

Dancing along the Adriatic: Queen Victoria Cruise Review by tangopainter
Overall Member Rating
Dancing along the Adriatic
Destination: Europe - Eastern Mediterranean
Embarkation: Southampton
Since my wife and I (both 65 and in good health) enjoyed our 2 TA's on the QM2 some years ago very much, we had great expectations of our 17-day trip to the Adriatic Sea on the Queen Victoria. During the preparation for the trip I discovered through "Dancers' opinions of Cunard" the CruiseCritics forum, where I found a lot of both useful as funny information, for which I like to thank each participant in the forum.
One of the major reasons for booking again on a Cunard ship was, besides the atmosphere of the luxury of the past, the vast opportunity for dancing on board. And we were not at all disappointed. The great majority of the passengers were British, we were the only Dutch couple on board. It is impossible to put all impressions of 17 days in one report together, but I will try to mention the most relevant.
The direct connection from Schiphol Airport with Flybe was very practical especially since I had the option chosen for both 40 More kg of luggage to carry, for the many fancy-dress and black-tie parties. We arrived too early and after about an hour queuing, we were on our original boarding time in the stateroom.
The stateroom was very similar to those on the QM2, and we were very happy with it. The balcony seemed a little bigger and the bathroom was small but very practical. The space to store all our luggage was more than enough, even before we discovered the two big drawers under the bed. In contrast to the information on the Cunard website, there was a 2 pin European 220 volts socket. Our cabin steward Alona not only kept everything perfectly clean and fresh, but was cheerful every day and interested in our activities.
We dined every night at the Britannia restaurant, second session, where we have large selection of exquisite dishes served by our waiters Nicolas and Edyta. We were so pleased with the atmosphere and the diversity and quality of the food that we did not feel the need to dine elsewhere, the Todd English restaurant moreover seemed mostly empty and bleak. For breakfast and lunch we often went for practical reasons (getting up late and dance lessons between 12.00 and 13.15) to the Lido, which offered a good choice. Our Chilean sommelier Christian in the Brittania gave us good advice and listened, despite his jokes, attentively to our needs.
Public Rooms
We drank in the morning usually a cappuccino in Cafe Carinthia (very nice), and a drink before dinner at the Commodore Club (more beautiful than on the QM2) or the Champagne bar. But the most we were in the Queens Room on the beautiful dance floor. In the morning for dance classes of Nadiya and Volodomyr. My wife and I dance the Argentine tango for years, but for this special trip we had taken some private lessons in ballroom dancing. This was a good base to the great lessons of dance teachers on board. In the evening and sometimes at Afternoon Tea dances we danced in the Queens Room or in the Hemispheres. The Queens Room Orchestra played very well varied and danceable music. Paul Ritchie was an excellent singer (I liked Paul much better than Michiel Cartier on the QM2). Paul did much to create an atmosphere of active participation, which was highly appreciated by the ladies alone.
Library and Art
The library was a stylish oasis of tranquility, ideal for quiet reading and writing, and a very nice librarian from South Africa. Furthermore, I noticed that the display of cheap trinkets and jewels on the QV happened a lot more restrained then on the QM2, here only in the Royal Arcade and not pushy in the main corridors. The Art Gallery was presented more restrained, no auctions where hardly were buyers, but a number of, not overwhelming commercially, lectures.
Entertainement and Spirituality
On our previous voyages we had attended many lectures on QM2, not now because of the topics that we found either not interesting ("How do I get an invitation to a tea party at the Royal Family") or even evoked a little disgust ("My long conversations with a serial killer").
The Royal Court Theatre is beautifully designed. There is space for a large number of spectators, yet it has retained an intimate theater atmosphere.
We have several times been to an early show (because we went after our second dinner sitting dancing), we saw a Welcome Aboard show on the first night, the stunning master magician Brett Sherwood, twice an excellent show with singer Bruce Morrison with the Cunard singers and dancers. And although it may be profane to range it under entertainement, I want to mention the church service in the Royal Court Theatre. Deputy Captain Andrew Willard led the service very professional, culminating with vocalist Paul Ritchie singing the moving Via Dolorosa. We attented one of the matinee concerts with Ferry Bedi, who showed that he was not only barpianist, but also classically well schooled, and the harpist Marta Kaszap also.
Themed Balls
Many of the Cruise Critics do not seem to have much interest in the Themed Balls, for us were the highlights. Preparing all the costumes was one of the reasons for the 2 x 40 kg of luggage! We were really surprised that a large number of people participated in the theme. So I counted at least 6 more parrots during the pirate-disco, and many pirate hats and eye patches. At the Venetian ball the whole dance floor was packed with masked guests. Even at the Ascot ball were not only many ladies with fancy hats, but also a number of gray top hats and morning coats. Even the social hostess Gun Sukwanna, who enthusiastically participated in all the festivities, was surprised by this number. A new phenomenon for us was the emergence of the sequence dancing, which sometimes took a (too big) part of the dance floor in property. Gun did a good job to channel this through a separate hour for this activity before dinner and by organizing short demonstrations during the intervals of the live music.
Spa and Fitness
I used the gym once, but almost every day I had a nice 20 minutes swim in the Lido pool.
Shore excursions
We had no guided tours, but visited the ports on your own exploring, after intensive (Internet) preparation at home. The complimentary shuttle service, always arranged by Cunard, was very appreciated. In La Corua, we rented bikes and did a tour around the city. Cephalonia was relaxed with walking and a typical meal in a family restaurant. We had been to Venice before and to visit more of Venice than St Marc's square, I had previously ordered a 2-day ticket for the vaporetto on the Internet. So we visted The Fortuny tissue museum and the famous Ca' Rezzonico palazzo and museum with the Tiepolo ceilings at the Canal Grande. To celebrate the evening in Venice I had booked tickets for an opera in Palazzo Barbarigo Minotti on the Grand Canal (www.musicapalazzo.com). What an experience, with about 50 spectators the four singers and musicians performed the three acts of The Barber of Seville each in a different, beautiful room of the palace.
Oporto was a revelation, especially the National Museum Soares dos Reis (sculpture and decorative arts), located just 10 minutes walk from the shuttle assembly point, but hardly visited by other cruise tourists.
Let me conclude by saying that I admired the number of really elderly and those disabled in their mobility, which had the courage to undertake such a journey. We hope that in the future we will do the same. Less

The crash of global dairy markets in mid-2008 put U.S. exports on course for a decline in 2009, ending a six-year streak of expansion.
According to the latest figures from the U.S. Dairy Export Council, dairy export sales totaled $2.32 billion last year, down 39 percent form 2008's record level. However, most of the downturn reflected lower world prices — overall volume was off just 16 percent. Export volume represented 9.3 percent of U.S. milk production last year, down from 11 percent in 2008 and 9.8 percent in 2007.
After struggling through the first three quarters of the year, U.S. export columns were up 15 percent in the fourth quarter in 2009. For the full year, volumes of milk powder, butterfat and cheese were lower, while shipments of whey proteins, lactose and fluid milk were higher.
"A year ago at this time, USDEC's economic analysis suggested overall volumes would drop 27 to 41 percent in 2009," says Tom Suber, USDEC president. "But U.S. exporters retained more of their sales than expected, aided by stronger world markets in the later part of the year."

With the High Court on its side, the Queensland police force has strengthened its resolve to have the Gold Coast Finks declared a criminal organisation and its members barred from associating.
Police also have other outlaw motorcycle gangs in their sights.
''Where there is sufficient evidence we will take action,'' Assistant Commissioner Mike Condon told reporters in Brisbane on Thursday.
The Finks motorcycle club lost a High Court battle over the validity of criminal organisation laws on Thursday, but declared the war "not yet over".
Pompano Pty Ltd, a company linked to the Gold Coast chapter of the Finks, had challenged the state's Criminal Organisation Act, arguing that it was unconstitutional and denied procedural fairness.
Queensland police lodged an application in the Supreme Court in Brisbane last year to have the chapter and the company declared criminal organisations on the basis that their members associated for the purposes of engaging in, or conspiring to engage in, serious criminal activity.
The outlaw gang then sought to have the matter heard in the High Court. The application was halted while the High Court challenge was made.
Lawyers for the Finks had argued that allegations against the club were based on secret criminal intelligence, which cannot be made public or challenged in court.
But the High Court in Canberra upheld the validity of certain provisions of the Criminal Organisation Act.
Finks lawyer Bill Potts said the decision might appear to be a loss for the club, but it would actually force Queensland police to completely redraft its current Supreme Court application.
''Six-nil may look like a loss but the devil is in the detail, and the detail here is defeating the present application. And it may also have the effect of making future applications unworkable,'' Mr Potts said.
''I suspect that the police and their legal advisers are looking at it very closely at the moment.''
He said police would now be forced to reveal more of their secret evidence against the club.
Assistant Commissioner Condon said police would be happy to oblige.
''We've gone to great lengths to corroborate the information that has been provided by us,'' he said.
''We continue to monitor the activity of all OMCG groups, in particular the Finks.
''Bear in mind, the application was made on June 1, 2012. We're obviously several months down the track. Any activities that are relevant to our position will be considered when we go back to the Supreme Court.''
In a 95-page application filed in the Queensland Supreme Court, police alleged members of the Finks Gold Coast chapter had been involved in murder, dealing in marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and speed, and linked to a shooting in Sydney as well as the attempted theft of a $400,000 Lamborghini from a Melbourne car salesroom.
''The notion that these are just good citizens riding motorbikes is absolute rubbish,'' Mr Condon said.
''They pose a risk to the community, so we should not be drawn into a belief that these are good citizens.''
Mr Condon dismissed suggestions the legislation would push outlaw bikies further underground, if approved.
''Part of their mandate is to be present, to be seen, so people that they may have issues with, know that they're about,'' he said.
The unanimous High Court decision was welcomed by Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie, who said it would allow police to more readily combat organised crime.
''We must do whatever we can as a government and we mustn't be scared to stand up to these bikie gangs,'' he said.
The matter will return to the Supreme Court on Friday, where police are expected to reveal how they will proceed.

Hagerty Fleet Specialist Randy Clouse says every garage needs a good pair of side cutters, which are great for removing cotter pins from front ends.
Clouse also suggests a large pry bar.
Both Clouse and V.P. of Media Properties Rob Sass recommend having a vise grips on hand.
Buying a really bright shop light, says Sass, will help shed some light on all of those repairs you overlooked before you had a really bright shop light.
Two out of four Hagerty experts agree that a refrigerator is a must for any car guy's garage.
A basic mechanic's tool set is a staple, says Hagerty PR Manager Jonathan Klinger. Clouse picked up this one at Sears for $29.99.
Hagerty's experts weigh in with their picks for the top five tools that should be in every garage.
Hagerty Fleet Specialist Randy Clouse lists the following:
Hagerty PR Manager Jonathan Klinger, who's using a Model A as a daily driver for his 365 Days of A project, knows a little something about working on cars. He chose the following five items because, quite simply, he says he can take on almost any project with them.
Youth Advocacy Coordinator Tabetha Salsbury's selections put a bit more of a premium on organization and cleanliness than our other "Car Guys'":

Victoria proud to welcome new Vice-Chancellor
3 March 2014
Victoria proud to welcome new Vice-Chancellor
The new Vice-Chancellor of Victoria University of Wellington, Professor Grant Guilford, has been officially welcomed to his new role at a formal occasion held on Victoria's Te Herenga Waka marae.
The welcome for Professor Guilford and his family was hosted by Victoria's Chancellor, Ian McKinnon, and led by Professor Piri Sciascia, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Māori) at Victoria. It was attended by over 100 dignitaries, including members of parliament, Wellington local government, school, business and sporting leaders, student representatives and academic colleagues from both Victoria and Auckland universities.
Mr McKinnon said he was proud to welcome Professor Guilford to Victoria University and expressed his confidence that the new Vice-Chancellor would continue Victoria's successful journey.
"You now lead a University that has made great strides in its history, not least in recent years," Mr McKinnon said.
That includes having many established national and international relationships, the lead ranking in the quality of its research across all its disciplines, a commitment to diversity and equity and a strong emphasis on providing its students with an outstanding experience, Mr McKinnon said.
At the welcome, Professor Guilford, the former Dean of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Auckland, outlined his vision for taking Victoria University forward.
He told guests that he will build on the outstanding achievements accomplished by his predecessor, Professor Pat Walsh, and lead Victoria to be ranked among the top 50 capital city universities in the world.
Professor Guilford said cultivating creative capital will be central to Victoria taking its place among an elite group of capital city universities.
"By that, I mean expressing new possibilities through creative activity, incorporating the genius behind art, music and writing, the curiosity and insight that finds new solutions to complex issues and the entrepreneurship that establishes new businesses. It is inspiration, innovation and leadership."
A second, crucial role for Victoria, says Professor Guilford, is shaping national identity—something he describes as a particular responsibility for a capital city university.
Short Biography: Professor W. Grant Guilford
Professor Guilford was previously the Dean of the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Auckland and a member of the Senior Management Team. He has successfully led large and complex academic organisations, beginning with the Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences at Massey University and continuing to his previous role as Dean of Sciences.
The Faculty of Sciences at the University of Auckland has approximately 850 staff and 7,500 students, including 1,400 postgraduates. It spans natural and social science disciplines, encompasses a number of professions and has revenues in excess of $180 million.
Professor Guilford holds a Bachelor of Philosophy and a Bachelor of Veterinary Science from Massey University and a PhD in Nutrition from the University of California, Davis. Earlier in his career he undertook teaching, research, clinical and leadership roles at the University of Missouri, the University of California, Davis, and Massey University.
He has driven major capital works processes and participated in a wide range of commercialisation processes, and has been on the board of a number of companies, research consortia, joint ventures, centres of research excellence and a Crown research institute.

NORTH Wales Police could set up a satellite station in a library after councillors voted to allow negotiations to begin over lease terms.
The police headquarters in Bodhyfryd in Wrexham town centre is due to be demolished, with the force set to move to a new facility in Llay in 2016.
The recommendation to negotiate terms with police to take over the library facility formed part of a report considering an opportunity to develop a new arts and cultural hub in Wrexham town centre to replace the Oriel Wrecsam arts and cultural base.
The report said the Oriel Wrecsam space was "not suitable" for the council's proposed new art gallery hub, but was "an ideal location" for a future town centre police base.
If the move goes ahead, North Wales Police (NWP) needs possession of the site by March next year with the aim of being operational there by November 2016.
Councillors voted unanimously to approve the recommendations at a Wrexham Council executive board meeting yesterday.
Any income generated from leasing the facility to NWP will be used to reinvest in the new town centre arts hub.
Cllr Hugh Jones said the council has had a long-standing vision to create a gallery that will be a hub for cultural and creative activity in the visual and applied arts across Wrexham county borough.
Concerns were raised about the suitability of the proposed library location for the police.
Cllr David Kelly questioned why a new town centre base could not be built on the site of the current police station after its demolition.
But Cllr Jones said North Wales Police had considered seven different locations before settling on the library as its preferred choice. It is hoped any proposed new arts and cultural hub could be up and running by January 2017.
If the police timescales are approved, the current arts service would have a "transitional period" where it would operate peripatetically across the county between the Oriel closing and the new hub getting started.
Possible locations for the new cultural hub are not detailed in
the report.
But the Arts Council of Wales has agreed to provide a 75 per cent funding contribution to enable the council to undertake an options appraisal and feasibility study between July and November 2014.
The initial work will identify the preferred location within the town centre while stage two will work up further operational details and building sketch designs and costings for the hub.

BlackBerry Bold ReviewBlackBerry Bold 9000
Research in Motion (RIM) is a Canadian manufacturer, known for the BlackBerry phones. Probably far and away the best handsets for mobile email, these smart phones are the suits' favorite gadgets. However, being good at one thing only just won´t cut it these days and all-in-one devices are what most customers are in search of. RIM seems to have hit the jackpot with the Pearl and Curve series (actually, the Curve is what has helped RIM go up) and the manufacturer needs to become more consumer-friendly, doesn´t it? BlackBerry is no longer BusinessBrick, and the high-end Bold proves the point. It is the first top-of-the-line Berry that really cares about fun apps (music, video) and is also the one to introduce the new design language of the Canadian firm (also used in the Storm and expected in future models). It won´t only strike the right note with your grandpa, but it´s classy and it surely won´t make anyone look queer as a three-dollar bill using it. The glossy-black plastic on the front goes along perfectly with the fake-leather back and silver elements, resulting in a really high-end looking smart phone. There is no metal and the leather isn't genuine, yet it doesn't feel cheap – its build quality is superb while the weight is within reason.
Have the Bold in hand and you'll find your thumb right on the trackball. It has become a standard feature of the BlackBerry phones and we cannot say we don't like it. New users will feel it a little awkward to use, but in a day or two most of them will love it. Both the horizontal and vertical sensitivity can be adjusted in ten steps, so anyone is sure to find their right setting. The trackball allows much faster navigation to the desired field, when compared to a standard D-pad/joystick. The huge Send, Menu (left), Back and End (right) keys are positioned around it, with but a little gap between the two keys of each pair so you can feel them by touch.
You can compare the RIM BlackBerry Bold with many other phones using our Size Visualization Tool.
BlackBerry's key feature is email and it requires excellent second to none keyboard. With years of experience in this, the Canadians surely know the ropes. The four rows have superb separation thanks to the silver strings, but we are in love with the horizontal key separation, thanks to the unique form of each button. Note how the left half have their right side lowered and vice versa. They are easy to press, have a good travel and well pronounced feedback. Although we have an affinity for wider keyboards (side sliding ones for example), this one would please even people who text to excess.
Same goes for the display – we just love it, but its size doesn´t exactly go over big with us. 2.6 inches isn't bad, but you know, bigger is better. The HVGA 480x320 resolution is also nice, although we´d rather it had a 480x360 screen, just like the Curve 8900 and the Storm, but you can´t have everything, right? Although a 65k color screen sounds mediocre, the image quality is good enough to enjoy a picture or video. The light sensor is very robust and immediately brightens the screen when you go out, so it remains visible in almost any condition.
None of the side keys gives any trouble. These are mute button on the top, the volume rocker, a convenience (shortcut) key on the right and another one on the opposite side. The microSD slot, miniUSB and 3.5mm jack are all on left hand side of the phone. Taking out the microSD card out of the Bold turned out to be an uphill work, but we guess it must be our particular unit. The back houses only the camera and its LED flash while the button for releasing the battery cover is on the bottom. It is easy to press and we accidentally opened the cover a few times.

I am trying to decide between The Bold and The Storm. My main uses on the phone would be web-surfing and some e-mailing. Is the big touch screen and finger scrolling better for this? I am aware of some of the problems that this has had, but believe that firmware updates are sorting them out.(I also like the gimmick of a touch screen though) I really like the look of The Bold and like a physical keyboard.I also believe the web browsing isn't as easy on The Bold. Is that correct? What should I do? Any help is appreciated!
2. briankeith513 (Posts: 8; Member since: 12 Apr 2009)
The Bold has less software issues at the moment and may be the best phone out of any phone on the market imo. However, the Storm, is also very nice, and has a nice large touch screen, and better camera. The main difference are, the Bold has wifi and qwerty keyboard, whereas the Storm has a better camera, and nicer, larger screen. I love them both, with the recent improvements on the Storm's os with .122 os, it's definitely improving. If you already like the physical keyboard, you should stick with the Bold, or wait for the Blackberry Niagra, which is a smaller sized Bold, with a better camera.
3. Rhyno (Posts: 5; Member since: 05 Apr 2009)
Thanks, for the info. I was beginning to think I wasn't going to get a response. I like the idea of the physical keyboard, but it's definitely not the be-all-and-end-all. I like my gimmicks and really like the idea of a touch screen. I've have heard mixed reviews about the Sure-Press. Some people love it and say it doesn't affect their type speed, but then you get some who say it's useless. How do the two compare in terms of ease of use for web-browsing. I've had a little play on a Storm and found it fairly easy. However, I haven't been able to have a look at The Bold. I am so confused and appreciate any more help you can give me! Thanks

Ambien? Ambien? Don't use it It's addictive
What is the hype over ambien? Don't use prescription ambien!! It is addictive
>:>:> Search Natural Ways to Sleep <:<:<
Click Here
About a year ago, I started with sleep issues. I couldn't fall asleep. My mind would just race and race. I couldn't function during the day because I couldn't sleep at night. I had alot of family and finance changes.
My sister actually gave me a few ambien after I had a straight week of not sleeping and I fell in love with that pill. I took it for 6 months. I had friends and family getting prescriptions for me because my doctor would only give me a small dose for a short time because she knew the addictiveness of it. I didn't believe her until I realized I had an emotional need on it. It was like a magic pill for me. It started to make me feel very depressed all the time.
A friend recommended the all natural, non narcotic ambien to me. I tried it because I couldn't get any more prescriptions for regular ambien
The natural ambien got me back into regular sleeping habits and I don't depend on it. I may use it once or twice a week and I feel great the next day but I don't crave it like I did the regular ambien. I didn't feel the depression anymore or the social anxiety. Taking it is like taking a vitamin. I sleep better and feel better emotionally and physically and I don't need a prescription for it. It is very cheap and well worth a good night's sleep. I have a high demanding job and child and have to feel awake and alert.
It is a more natural sleep without the side effects

Monday, January 7 to Monday, December 2, 2013; 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Location: Fresh Air Dogs, 251 Wharff Road, Guilford, ME
Contact: Cynthia Scott; 2075642604
Website: FreshAirDogs.com
2-hour "Getting Started" Workshop (6:30-8:30PM) the first Monday of every month in 2013 (1/7, 2/4, 3/4, 4/1, 5/6, 6/3, 7/1, 8/5, 9/2, 10/7, 11/4, 12/2). Topics include: How Dogs Think and Learn, Good Manners, Dog Park Safety, and more! The cost for this workshop is $10 and pre-registration is required; just call Fresh Air Dogs at 564-2604 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
This workshop is a prerequisite for all the training provided by Fresh Air Dogs and covers how dogs think and learn and basic good manners training using science-based, positive reinforcement. This class is for humans only – no dogs this time. Whether you just want a peaceful relationship with your dog or maybe you'd like your dog to be a Therapy Dog, this workshop will get you started off on the right paw!
LOVE YOUR DOG – Dogs are amazing creatures who have adapted to the crazy-confusing world of people remarkably well – most of the time. Learn HOW your dog thinks and you will be able to work with his good nature to build a bond of trust and love between the two of you. Learn WHY your dog acts like a dog and you can redirect that doggie instinct and natural canine response towards acceptable-to-humans behavior.
TRAIN YOUR DOG – It's simple. No yelling needed – just manage his behavior to prevent him from doing the WRONG things. When your dog is doing the RIGHT thing, reward him for it. No physical punishment or coercion. Would you "come when called" if you knew that bad things would happen when you got there? Everything your dog does make sense – to him. It's your challenge to figure out how to make the behaviors you want more rewarding than the behavior you don't want … and, you and your dog will both have fun while you're at it!
Russell and Cynthia Scott have been training dogs, and their owners, since 1978. They have put obedience titles on their golden retrievers and currently have four dogs that are all certified by Therapy Dog International as Pet Therapy Dogs. Russell attended Pat Miller's Peaceable Paws Intern Academy in Maryland re: How Dogs Learn and The Science of Behavior and Training. The Scott's own Fresh Air Dogs in Guilford, providing training, Doggie "Playcare" and in-home "Sleepovers" (no crates of kennels), for dogs of all ages.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Spicey Thai-style Burgers
My recent addiction to Thai red curry
Spicey Mayo:
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
1 tsp. Thai red curry paste (such as Taste of Thai)
1/2 tsp. fish sauce
1 cup shredded purple cabbage
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tbsp. spicey mayo
1/4 cup lite coconut milk
1 tsp. fresh squeezed lime juice
1lb ground pork
1lb ground turkey
1 tbsp. thai red curry paste
1/2 tbsp. fish sauce
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
6 potato roll hamburger buns
Step 1:
Combine all the ingredients for the Spicey Mayonnaise and mix completely.
Step 2:
Combine all the ingredients for the coleslaw mix completely. Refridgerate both the coleslaw and the spicey mayonnaise until you are ready to assemble the burgers.
Step 3:
Comine the ingredients for the burgers and mix throughly with your hands much like a meatloaf. Gently make 6 patties handling the meat as little as possible.
Step 4:
Heat gas grill on medium heat until temp. registers 300. Gently place each burger on to the grill and cook on medium for 5min. Flip and cook an additional 8min or until the internal temp of the burgers reaches 170. Remove the burgers and let rest for 5min.
Step 5:
Get your spicey mayo and coleslaw from the fridge.
On each of your 6 bun bottoms spread 1/2tbsp of the spicey mayo, place 1 burger on the bun then add 1/6th of the coleslaw on top, add another 1/2tbsp of mayo to the top of the bun, place on top of the burger and enjoy.
My family loves these, and I hope you do too. The mayo and the coleslaw can both be made the night before and the entire recipe from start to finish can be done in under an hour which I love since I have three small children at home and not a lot of time!

Let me tell you a story. In early 2012, I was given an opportunity to visit a youth club in Embu, Kenya, one of the many hundreds of youth clubs that DSW has helped establish across Eastern Africa. Due to my work in communications, I was eager to try to engage with the youth there and to hear about how the club had affected their lives. This was a big deal for me and, as it turned out, for the youth who happily lined up to tell me their stories! While chatting with one club member, she told me about her volunteer work in a local community school that helped orphan and vulnerable children from the slum areas in Embu. She asked me if I would like to visit the school and learn more about the children there. I agreed and few minutes later, we both set off on a journey that would leave a lasting impression on me.
As it turned out, over 50 percent of the children in school were infected. In George's case, his father had abandoned the family and his mother was in the final stages of the virus.
Upon arrival I was led into a simple wooden shack where twenty or so children sat quietly behind their desks, gazing at me with intent curiosity. Unsure of what to do, I smiled and waved at them which resulted in a few giggles. Then one boy stood up and approached me.
With a huge smile he said hello and shook my hand. Beaming with pride, the teacher told me his name was George and that he was top of his class. Then she told me that George was HIV positive. She showed me the sores that ran along his legs, arms, and ears. As it turned out, over 50 percent of the children in school were infected. In George's case, his father had abandoned the family and his mother was in the final stages of the virus. With no one else to turn to, the school and the teachers were the only support that George had. When he wasn't at school, George had to fend for himself as his mother was too weak to leave the house. I didn't ask his age but it seemed to me that George could not have been more than seven years old.
Although this story has the potential to be depressing, it reminds me that hope exists and that real change is possible if we want it. Sometimes this change happens like a speeding train, as in the incredible outpouring of support shown by the international community at the London Summit on Family Planning, or it can be largely invisible to the public eye, as in the case of George. Without the efforts of the club members, the teachers, and the donations of food from the local community, George's prospects would have been grim at best. Now he has a chance for life.
But we can do more.
This year the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced a replenishment goal of 15 billion US-dollars in the fight against these terrible diseases. In an age of austerity this will require new thinking in the form of firm commitments from global donors. It will involve increases in budget spending, both from traditional donors in the north, but also clear commitments in domestic health spending by those countries worst affected by these diseases.
Now that the US has pledged five billion US-dollars over the coming three years, the onus is now on other donors to commit to fulfilling the remaining 10 billion needed to save millions of lives worldwide. This should become a discussion priority during the meeting with President Barack Obama and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin this week, especially since Germany's contributions of 200 million euros to the Global Fund have not increased since 2008. With so much at stake the time for leadership is now.
It is also important that the G8 leaders meeting on June 17th and 18th keep in mind that their actions and decisions have the potential to greatly affect the livelihoods of people living in abstract poverty across the world. Issues such as gender equality, youth employment, access to healthcare and education are not just political buzzwords – they have real consequences for people like George.
Now is the time to act. Now is the time to make a change.

"Pink Slime"
The Gross Factor: The meat industry likes to call it "lean finely textured beef," but after ABC News ran a story on it, the public just called it what it looks like—pink slime, a mixture of waste meat and fatty parts from higher-quality cuts of beef that have had the fat mechanically removed. Afterwards, it's treated with ammonia gas to kill Salmonella and E. coli bacteria. Then it gets added to ground beef as a filler. Food microbiologists and meat producers insist that it's safe, but given the public's reaction to the ABC News report, there's an "ick" factor we just can't overcome. The primary producer of pink slime just announced that it's closing three of the plants where pink slime is produced, and Kroger, Safeway, Food Lion, McDonald's and the National School Lunch Program (among others) have all pulled it from their product offerings.
Eat This Instead: Organic ground beef is prohibited from containing pink slime, per National Organic Program standards, so it's your safest bet. If you can't find organic, ask the butcher at your grocery store whether their products contain the gunk.Vet Meds in Beef
The Gross Factor: Hankering for a burger? Besides a hefty dose of protein, a 2010 report from the United States Department of Agriculture found your beef could also harbor veterinary drugs like antibiotics, Ivermectin, an animal wormer linked to neurological damage in humans, and Flunixin, an anti-inflammatory that can cause kidney damage, stomach and colon ulcers, and blood in the stool of humans. Still hungry? We didn't think so.
Eat This Instead: Look for beef from a local grass-fed beef operation that rotates the animals on fresh grass paddocks regularly, and inquire about medicine use. Typically, cows raised this way are much healthier and require fewer drugs. The meat is also more nutritious, too. If you're in the supermarket, opt for organic meats to avoid veterinary drugs in meat.

>> During the last year my whole closet lost a lot of colour. I stacked up a lot of black and white basics and I mostly bet on styling them in different ways. So when this colorful t-shirt from London brand Etre Cecile came along into the WALD Store I was quite torn. First thought: I love it! Second thought: Would I wear it? Does it fit into my wardrobe?
Also the print is quite thick so I thought the shirt would maybe fall weirdly or it would have an uncomfortable feel.
A few thoughts and days later I finally tried it on. And then I completely ditched the second thoughts because my worries were quite for nothing. I love love love the t-shirt now! The print is so sophisticated that it works for a casual outfit like this with skinny jeans and sneakers but I can also already imagine preppier possibilities. With my black, white, grey clothes pretty much any combination does it. Either way the gorgeous print simply makes you shine ;-)
Definitely a fan now!

TPWD News Release — Oct. 24, 2005
AUSTIN, Texas — State and federal wildlife experts say the chance of people in Texas encountering wild migratory birds with HPAI H5N1 avian influenza this year is remote. However, authorities are launching proactive efforts to detect the disease if it comes to North America and they're advising hunters about game bird handling to reduce general disease risks.
At present, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 has not been found anywhere in North America–there are no records of positive tests in wild or domestic birds, and no known human cases of illness. However, the "bird flu" has been publicized in news reports which note it has caused illness in more than 100 people and killed close to 60 people in Southeast Asia. All of those deaths involved contact with domestic poultry, not wild birds.
Some people believe the disease could eventually travel to North America through wild bird migration, including possible transmission from Asia through Alaska.
A collaborative interagency working group of scientists, public health officials, and policy makers with state and federal agencies is developing a plan for early detection of HPAI H5N1 in North American birds. For more than a year, working group member agencies in Alaska have tested samples from thousands of wild birds and have found no evidence of the disease.
A Sept. 2 statement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said "Ongoing migratory bird surveillance, coupled with what we now know about the scope of the disease in Asia and the projected movement of birds from affected areas, gives us reason to think that, while possible, there is no evidence to indicate that H5N1 will reach Alaska, or any other part of North America, in 2005."
Practical hygiene for hunters includes: (1) Do not handle or butcher game animals that are obviously sick or are found dead; (2) Do not eat, drink, or smoke while cleaning game; (3) Wear rubber gloves and washable clothing when cleaning game; (4) Wash your hands with soap and water or alcohol wipes immediately after handling game; (5) Wash tools and working surfaces with soap and water, then disinfect with a 10% solution of chlorine bleach; and (6) Cook game meat thoroughly–poultry should reach an internal temperature of 155-165 degrees F.

The Jacksonville Jaguars had to finally face reality in Week 3 of the preseason. After two weeks of winning against playoff teams, they had to face the fact that they are not ready yet. While there is still time to tweak things going into the season, there are still a few important issues to fix.
Missed tackles have become an issue that needs to be resolved quickly. This was an issue in the first two games as well, but it blew up against the Baltimore Ravens. When someone catches the ball in the open field, they need to be wrapped up immediately. That is what made 2011's defense so great. Now, we've reverted back to 2009's defense, complete with Aaron Ross pulling a "Reggie Nelson" (getting beat in coverage and then falling down almost immediately after a half-hearted swipe at the ball). The most egregious error was when Courtney Greene had a clear shot at Bobby Rainey in the open field and whiffed, turning a 5 yard gain into a 40+ yard touchdown.
The second issue is with the pass protection. Guy Whimper shouldn't even be on this team right now. He is the single biggest reason for the offense's stagnant performance on Thursday. Whimper's poor pass blocking was the reason why Blaine Gabbert had so many checkdowns, which made it easy for Bernard Pollard to just wrap up the ballcarrier for an easy three and out. If any of this is sounding familiar, it's because it basically what we did to the Ravens during Monday Night Football in 2011.They beat the Jaguars at their own game and they had a good time doing it.
Even despite all of this, there were still some positives to this game. Blaine Gabbert still kept his cool in the pocket, even while being assaulted by the Ravens defense. There were no jitters or hesitation, even during a play where he didn't expect the ball to be snapped and while he often elected to check down from the deep routes, he made smart decisions with the ball. Rashad Jennings added another solid game to his resume as well, gaining 57 yards on 13 carries. To paraphrase ike Mularkey, this game should be one that you must learn from, because when the regular season starts, there are no mulligans.
