You need a spark arrestor or you won't have a woodshop very long.
I have an old pot-belly stove in my woodshop. I burn nothing but hardwood in it. Recently I have noticed a few sparks coming out of the top of the pipe outside. It is a double wall pipe going up through an insulated attic in the woodshop. I asked a neighbor if he thought it to be a concern and he said it may be creosote burning off and it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. What do you think?
You need a spark arrestor or you won't have a woodshop very long.
I have a spark arrestor installed in the chimney cap.
So it is normal for sparks to come up the flu pipe?
That must sound like an elementary question but it just doesn't seem right. I thought that only happened if there was a problem, like a lot of creosote in the flu.

will have to key pouncey also to see this disaster game against the jags...no argument though with jerry in run blocking...on the recent rewatches of the entire season he really stands out as poor in that regard...

add Andy Levitre, and draft a top tier OL to replace Long and id say we have a darn good OL. I think Jake Long is fine, but not 10-15 million a year fine. He hasnt performed all too well lately. If he doesnt take 7-8 mill, let him walk and draft an OL. Put Martin at LT, and then draft another young stud OL.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to compare Dichlorphenamide with placebo (an inactive substance) for prevention of episodes and for improvement of strength in periodic paralysis. This study will also look at the long-term effects of Dichlorphenamide in periodic paralysis.
Periodic Paralysis
Drug: Dichlorphenamide
Drug: Placebo
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Dichlorphenamide vs. Placebo for Periodic Paralysis
- The number of attacks/week over the last 8 weeks of the initial 9-week study phase. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Efficacy: severity-weighted attack rate; muscle strength and mass measures; changes in health-related quality-of-life; intolerable increase in attack frequency or severity necessitating withdrawal from the 9-week phase (HOP trial only). [ Time Frame: 8 to 61 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Drug: Placebo
an inactive substance
Detailed Description:
Periodic paralysis is a relatively rare, life-long disorder characterized by intermittent bouts of paralysis, progressive weakness, and diminished quality of life. Two drugs, acetazolamide and dichlorphenamide, have been prescribed to treat the disorder, however, dichlorphenamide is no longer available.
In this multi-center, parallel, randomized trial researchers will compare the effects of dichlorphenamide vs. placebo in patients with hyperkalemic (HYP) and hypokalemic (HOP) periodic paralysis.
The trial consists of two 9-week studies—one study will enroll persons with hyperkalemic periodic paralysis and the other study will enroll persons with hypokalemic periodic paralysis. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: dichlorphenamide or placebo (an inactive substance). During the studies, participants will be asked to keep a daily diary to record the time, length, and severity of each episode of weakness. The study coordinator will contact participants weekly to review the diary information.
The 9-week phase will be followed by a 1-year open-label dichlorphenamide extension without placebo to determine the long-term effects of dichlorphenamide on the course of the disease and on inter-attack weakness.
Duration of the trial for participants is approximately 65 weeks, including a screening phase to determine eligibility, the first 9-week treatment phase, and the one-year open-label extension phase.

I kind of love this.
Always be prepared. Zombie Safe House.
More pics and info here.Somehow, ritual drunk-conversation concerning team captains for the apocalypse has become a major part of the lives of 20-somethings. Having been matured in the Grandaddy-crowned masterpiece film (put A.M. 180 on and forget that you have a job), 28 Days Later, were all a little too ready to deal with the 2012 of our dreams.
The Safe House, designed by KWK Promes, starts to get eerily close to something I could work with, if say 200 bludgeoned members of the undead army came over to eat their way into borrowing some sugar.
The most essential item for our clients was acquiring the feeling of maximum security, begins the designers website in the summary of the structure. Who wouldnt feel safe in a concrete rectangle that folds in upon itself to become completely sealed? Even the windows are covered with a slab of concrete when the structure is on nap time.

Kitties were painted with photoshop brushes in conjunction with the smudge tool. We referenced screen caps of Fatso in the youtube videos. Obviously, they were too pixelated to use in the painting. -Did sample some colors with the eyedropper, but we ended up changing the lighting quite a bit to match the lighting in "3 Wolves". If you've noticed, the lighting choice from "3 Wolves" is not sane, and I love it-- the wolves are lit as if the moon (light source) is floating impossibly in the center of all 3 wolves, making the back wolf quite lit, while the front wolf is back-lit almost completely. It was fun to recreate this effect. In saying that, the emphasis actually WAS the appropriation of the existing, and not originality. Does that make it art? Haha-- I don't know. I hope it will make it a t-shirt though, because I actually really do love keyboard cat, in his original form, and the weird self-referencing cult that makes a piece like "3 Wolves" take on this whole era-reflective importance beyond the artist's original intention. We made the design because when we came up with the idea, we, and our friends said "ha! I'd wear that!". My dear parents still don't get it, and wonder why threadless lets users chose to buy it anywhere from zero to a mere $5. They're afraid to rate it, fearing that their credit card will be charged this amount.

What It Is
The Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Batman Raceway Ride-On is two toys in one. Preschoolers can ride around on this foot-to-floor ride-on and push the three buttons to hear Batman phrases and sound effects. The seat lifts up to reveal underseat storage, and it includes Little People Batman and Joker figures in cars. Kids can race the cars by pulling down the ride-on's front grill which opens the vehicle to reveal two ramps. Place the cars at the starting line gates, then push the Batman button to lift the gates and send the cars racing down the ramps.
Why It's Fun
Preschoolers will like having their very own "bat" vehicle with which to ride around and save the day. The sound effects and Batman phrases encourage the imaginative superhero play. In an easy transformation, the ride-on becomes a racetrack, and kids will like racing Batman and the Joker down the ramps.
Who It's For
The Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Batman Raceway Ride-On is for ages 1–3. There is a maximum weight limit of 44 pounds.
What To Be Aware Of
These are "friendly" preschool representations of Batman and The Joker, which are appropriate for little kids.
Three AAA batteries are required.

Supreme Court Allows Michigan Ban on Affirmative Action
By Teresa Welsh |
The Supreme Court has a solemn duty to apply the law, and thus, it must find the individual mandate and the coerced Medicaid spending conditions unconstitutional. Because those provisions are inextricably intertwined with so many others, the court should throw out the entire law.
The high court has upheld some far-reaching regulations of economic activity by Congress, including the power to regulate interstate commerce in fungible goods such as wheat and marijuana as part of a comprehensive system regulating or prohibiting the intrastate possession and production of those goods. But government has never required people to buy any good or service.
The individual mandate does not regulate or prohibit activity of any kind. Instead, it mandates commerce into existence. Congress has no such power. Although Congress may be able to regulate the operations of health insurance companies directly if their economic activities have a substantial effect on interstate commerce, it cannot regulate an individual's decision not to purchase a contract from those companies.
[See a collection of political cartoons on healthcare.]
If Congress can mandate this, then it can mandate anything. It could require Americans to buy a General Motors car or pay a penalty to help stimulate commerce and repay General Motor's government loans, or it could mandate a weekly purchase of bread to subsidize wheat farmers and the interstate market in wheat. The very idea that Congress has the power to force individual Americans into commercial activity goes against our most basic notions of freedom and liberty.
Congress also exceeded its spending powers and violated basic principles of federalism with the massive expansion of Medicaid. It is coercing states into accepting costly new conditions that Congress could not impose directly by threatening to withhold all federal funding under the single largest federal grant-in-aid program. The court has long recognized that a federal financial inducement can be so massive as to leave states with no choice but to accept it, no matter how destructive the attached conditions may be to their sovereignty.
If the court approves this unprecedented and unbounded abuse of power, then there will truly be no limits on the federal government, and our days as a federal republic with a government of enumerated and limited powers will be over.

I have a rough cedar plank living room wall and ceiling. Roof leaked and left black watermarks on walls and ceiling. How do you remove the stains from the walls and ceiling?
Sanding the surface would be a first step if it were mine. The ceiling may be an issue due to the rain water possibly soaking through from the top side, but I would give it a try anyway.
Oxalic acid is a wood bleach that may also work if applied and allowed to soak into the black area, but may also create it's own streaking or changes in the wood tone.
Consider possibly re-staining the walls and ceiling?
Curious? Did you possibly have an insurance claim on the roof, as this issue may be covered under that claim.
Should have but didnt. Sanding seems impossible cause entire treatment is rough unfinished. may have stain on wood
What kind of roof do you have, and what have you tried so far?
I'd try scraping that discoloured area with a sharp paint scraper to see if the discolouration is entirely on the surface or has been absorbed into the wood.
If it's just on the surface, which I suspect it is, I'd use a brush or scraper to remove as much as possible.
If it's a shingle roof, then the black discolouration may be deteriorated asphalt from the shingles. In that case, I'd try using a Magic Eraser damp with paint thinner (aka: mineral spirits) to remove the rest from the surface of the wood.
If it's a flat roof, then that dark discolouration may just be ordinary dirt (that is, mud from rotting leaves and such). In that case, I'd brush or scrape as much off the surface as possible, and then use a Magic Eraser damp with a mild acid (like CLR) to remove more from the rough surface of the wood.
I don't know how rough your cedar is, so I don't know if it's even feasible to clean the surface of that wood with a Magic Eraser. If not, remove as much as you can with the scraper or dry scrub brush first, and then try spraying some mineral spirits or mild acid onto the surface and brushing again. Then, blot with a paper towel to absorb the liquid (and the dirt suspended in it).This message has been edited. Last edited by: Nestor,
Nestor, had to chuckle when I read your suggestion of a Mr Clean Magic eraser on rough cedar wood.
The thing wears out too quickly on smooth formica or stainless steel, just wet with water!
Now a "sanding sponge" block is a whole different animal. I use these all the time when refinishing smooth wood.
Mix a solution of three parts water and one part bleach in the container. Apply the solution with a large sponge and scrub away any mold. After 20 minutes, rinse the spot with a clean sponge and dry it with paper towels.

Water stains can remove by various natural cleaners. Vinegar is the best natural product and effective cleaner also. Take half vinegar and half water in spray bottle. Now spray the mixture, wherever it is required and leave it for 5-10mins and then wipe and clean.

Yes Vinegar is very effective in cleaning stains. You can also use Lemon juice or lime water. All three of these contain citric acid in them, and it is actually that acid due to which stains get removed.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Magdalene123,
I have been polishing wood with three parts olive oil and one part white vinegar and it works for me. I also found some other cleaning tips in http://www.themaidsofdc.com/cl...house-cleaning-tips/ and http://www.care2.com/greenlivi...ic-cleaning-kit.html.
Well, before doing any repairs for your walls and ceiling, you must first fix the cause of the problem. Make sure you have the roof sealed where it is leaking. This will prevent any future damages.
Moving on, you need to mix one part of bleach and three parts of water in a container. Dip a sponge in the solution and scrub all residue in the wall/ceiling.Leave it there for around 30 minutes then rinse it off with a clean sponge and dry it out with paper towels.
Then, you must apply a stain-blocking primer to cover the area. You can also repaint the area afterwards to make it look new. -N.S.This message has been edited. Last edited by: nica_s,

Despite what the ubiquity of its pre-evolution in the wild may suggest, Tentacruel is a highly valued Pokemon in the OU metagame, being a stellar defensive Rapid Spin user. Unlike other defensive spinners, Tentacruel is particularly resistant to being worn down, as it can take advantage of rain support to get 12.5% healing per turn with Rain Dish and Leftovers combined. One of the major selling points of Tentacruel is that it can beat any spinblocker under rain with a combination of Substitute and Toxic; this includes Sableye, and due to this, Tentacruel is an extremely good spinner to use on rain teams. Alternatively, Tentacruel can use Toxic Spikes, or it can tank hits with its good Special Defense and semi-unique Water/Poison typing. However, its gelatinous exterior is vulnerable to physical assaults due to an unfortunately average Defense stat for a support Pokemon. It is also encumbered by a few weaknesses to common attacks such as Earthquake, Thunderbolt, and Psyshock, which somewhat limit its defensive potential. Nonetheless, Tentacruel remains the Rapid Spin user of choice for many teams, whether they are utilizing rain or not.
This set excels at spinning away hazards for both balanced and stall teams alike. Unlike other users of Rapid Spin, Tentacruel is able to absorb Toxic Spikes, facilitating its work as a spinner. Tentacruel isn't limited to spinning either—it can spread status and stall out many threats.
Although Tentacruel has access to Toxic Spikes, Toxic is still the preferable move. This is because many teams benefit more from the immediate poison, and there are also many Flying-types and Levitate Pokemon that can only be poisoned by Toxic. Toxic also has other advantages, such as allowing Tentacruel to consistently defeat most relevant spinblockers in rain. Nevertheless, Toxic Spikes is still a viable option, and Tentacruel has a niche as one of the few viable users of this move. Toxic Spikes is preferred on stall teams, or when using a sweeper that benefits from certain walls being crippled, particularly those with Natural Cure.
The third slot goes to Scald, the best STAB move that Tentacruel can run. It has the same power under rain as a Hydro Pump outside of rain and has a 30% chance to burn the target, discouraging Pokemon such as Gyarados and Dragonite from switching in, even though they resist the move. The move in the fourth slot depends on your preference. Protect is the main choice, as it allows Tentacruel to stall for more Leftovers + Rain Dish recovery. Protect also has the ability to scout Choice users and stop SubDisable Gengar from ruining your day. Another good option is Substitute, which blocks status and Leech Seed, and most stall teams typically have trouble breaking Tentacruel's Substitutes. When using Substitute, remember to only use it with Toxic, and not Toxic Spikes.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>

Tentacruel can run an offensive Rapid Spin set holding a Life Orb with a Timid nature, an EV spread of 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe, and a moveset of Hydro Pump, Rapid Spin, Ice Beam, and Giga Drain. The main reason why this set is not listed above is because it is mostly outclassed by Starmie, which has higher Speed and Special Attack, access to reliable recovery, and a superior offensive movepool. The surprise value and unique typing gives it a small degree of viability, though.
Liquid Ooze may come in handy when confronting Pokemon such as Conkeldurr and Ferrothorn, which can use Drain Punch and Leech Seed, respectively. It also seems like an appealing option to use outside rain teams, since there is no rain to activate Rain Dish. The latter is still, however, the superior option. Even if you are not using a rain team, you are able to take advantage of your opponent's rain.
Knock Off is an interesting utility move, especially considering that it can make Leftovers users succumb quickly to poison. However, Tentacruel has trouble finding room to accommodate this move. Confuse Ray deals even more damage to the opponent if you are lucky, but Tentacruel has more consistent options to run. Magic Coat can block Taunt and status moves, but on Tentacruel, this move is rather gimmicky. Acid Spray could be used to force out opponents in fear of taking attacks at -2 Special Defense, but Tentacruel still isn't very threatening offensively.
Tentacruel can actually go to the sweeping route by using a SubSD set with Substitute, Swords Dance, Waterfall, and Poison Jab. Despite a paltry base 70 Attack stat, Tentacruel will still hit hard after a Swords Dance or two, and Water- and Poison-type attacks have surprisingly good coverage together. That said, despite Tentacruel's good speed and longevity under rain, it tends to be outclassed by other physical sweepers due to its shallow physical movepool and the fact that this set is often inferior to Tentacruel's other sets.
Checks and Counters
If Tentacruel is running Toxic Spikes, anything that is immune to them and doesn't take much damage from Scald can be considered a counter. Reuniclus, Latias, Latios, and Hydreigon are prime examples. The former two even have super effective STAB moves to use against Tentacruel. Dragonite and Gyarados actually fit the above description, but they will hate being burned, unless they run Substitute or Lum Berry.
Poison Heal Breloom is one of the best counters to Tentacruel, as it benefits from being poisoned and can use Tentacruel as setup fodder. However, be wary that Breloom is vulnerable to Scald burns if it doesn't have its Toxic Orb activated and Toxic Spikes aren't on the field. Celebi is probably the best counter to Tentacruel, as it can simply cure itself of status when switching out, takes little damage from most of Tentacruel's attacks, and can easily dispose of it with Psychic. Amoonguss absorbs Toxic Spikes and takes almost no damage from Scald, but it cannot retaliate aside from using Spore. Venusaur can also remove Toxic Spikes, set up Growth, and mitigate potential damage from Ice Beam or Scald burns with Giga Drain. Toxicroak is completely immune to everything in Tentacruel's arsenal and can remove Toxic Spikes. Even though Tentacruel resists both of Toxicroak's STABs, it may be overpowered after a few boosts.
SubCM Latias and SubCM Keldeo aren't bothered by anything that Tentacruel can throw at them and can set up on it easily if they haven't been poisoned by Toxic Spikes or by Toxic on the switch-in. Both Alakazam and Reuniclus do not have to worry about status at all, and can easily dispose of Tentacruel with their STAB moves, although Alakazam takes decent damage from Scald due to its natural frailty. Starmie can spin away Toxic Spikes and can force Tentacruel out with the threat of STAB Psyshock, Thunderbolt, or Thunderbolt. Natural Cure means that Starmie does not have to worry about status. If Tentacruel lacks Toxic or has not set up Toxic Spikes, Jellicent has no problem coming in to block Rapid Spin and can beat it one-on-one with Taunt, Will-O-Wisp, and Recover.
If the weather is sunny, Heatran takes little damage from Scald and can defeat Tentacruel with a super effective Earth Power. Speaking of Earth Power, any Pokemon with that move or Earthquake will easily force Tentacruel out. Examples of this are Ground-types such as Landorus-T, Mamoswine, and Garchomp. However, they all loathe burns, and the first two are weak to Scald. Gastrodon can switch in on any of Tentacruel's moves (barring Toxic) and demolish it with Earthquake or Earth Power. Electric-types, like Ground-types, also have super effective STABs and can easily force Tentacruel out. Zapdos and Magnezone can withstand a Scald and retaliate with powerful Thunderbolts/Thunders. Thundurus-T will easily force Tentacruel out, which may give it the perfect opportunity to set up a Nasty Plot or Agility. However, Thundurus-T has difficulty switching in on Scald or Toxic; the former does heavy damage, and the latter shortens its lifespan even further. SubDisable Gengar is immune to everything Tentacruel has bar Scald and can spinblock. Once it has a Substitute under its belt, it can disable Scald and Shadow Ball Tentacruel to death. A smart player can get around this by using Protect, though. Gothitelle can switch in on Tentacruel with minimal risk, trap it with Shadow Tag, and OHKO with Psyshock or Psychic. Dugtrio can also do the same with Arena Trap and Earthquake, but it needs Tentacruel to be slightly weakened, and even with Focus Sash, it cannot really switch in on Tentacruel's Scald, because if it is burned, Dugtrio loses.

If you're shopping for meeting technology, there's new online help from the Professional Convention Management Association (www.pcma.org). Its Technology Solutions Database, launched in June, allows users to search for suppliers in 35 categories, such as registration, Web conferencing, and meeting management. Users can also search by company name, product name, or product description. The search returns a list of companies and their products (no specific contact information); some have a flashing star, indicating that an expanded listing is available. In a search for site selection products, 41 names were returned; 18 had expanded listings.
Next, users check off boxes for companies in which they're interested. But here's the rub: Unless you're a member (in which case it's free) each full listing costs $4.95.The listings do have good contact information and links, but given the complexity of many e-solutions, the product write-ups can be a little vague. The listings we visited didn't include pricing information or anything in the product testimonial section.
The ambitious new database is a welcome tool, but you may want to use it just to get a feel for the players rather than in-depth research.

As anyone having experience with machinery diagnostics knows, vibration can be caused by a broad range of problems. These can include worn bearings, misalignment of components, mechanical looseness, improper or damaged foundations, hydraulic and aerodynamic forces, resonances, etc. The most common problem, though, seems to be unbalance.
Unbalance (i.e. an uneven distribution of mass around an axis of rotation) can result when individual components have not been properly balanced prior to assembly, from errors due to the assembly of these components, or both.
The high centrifugal forces generated by unbalanced rotors during operation can lead to premature bearing failure, fatigue fractures, foundation deterioration and shaft deformation, to name just a few. Unbalanced rotors also can present a safety hazard to personnel. For these reasons, well-balanced machinery is a necessity for any maintenance program.
Unlike balancing a rotor in the controlled, predictable environment of a balancing machine, field balancing presents a number of unique challenges. Not the least of these is the need to first determine if the vibration is actually the result of an unbalance. Making the decision to balance without first verifying that an unbalance condition exists may result in wasted time and money.
To ensure successful field balancing, today's vibration analyst needs the type of tools that will quickly and efficiently allow him/her to verify that an unbalance actually exists, and at what operating conditions balancing is best attempted. When evaluating these tools for your specific needs, you'll want to look for the following capabilities.
Measurement of overall vibration
The simplest vibration measurement is the "overall" vibration, which represents the sum of the energy content of all vibrations at all frequencies. Anyone who has worked with machinery of any kind has consciously or unconsciously measured its overall vibration.
If you've ever put your hand on a machine and thought about whether its vibration is high or low, you've made a judgment of overall vibration. Using an instrument to assign a value to that which you feel with your hand allows you to compare your machine with similar machines.
Often, the decision to conduct a vibration analysis begins with someone questioning the severity of a machine's overall vibration.
Measuring the overall vibration at various points on the machine allows for comparison with local and international standards (ISO, API, DIN, etc.). If this comparison concludes that the levels are excessive and further analysis shows that field balancing is required, the first step is to document overall vibration. In fact, regardless of the methods employed to resolve a vibration issue, documentation of the overall vibration is always the initial step.
Frequency analysis (the FFT function)
Arguably the most valuable tool in the vibration analyst's arsenal is the ability to separate a measured overall vibration into its individual components. This is most commonly done using an instrument's "FFT" (Fast Fourier Transform) function. Employing the FFT function results in a spectrum showing the individual vibration amplitudes and their associated frequencies. The beauty of an "FFT spectrum" (as shown in Fig. 1) is that it allows the vibration analyst to see the frequencies that represent the most severe vibration. Correlating these frequencies with a machine's components, or the interaction between components, makes it possible to pinpoint the problem.
While high overall vibration can result from a multitude of problems, each having its own signature on a spectrum, high vibration due to unbalance occurs at the rotational frequency of the component that actually is out of balance. It goes without saying that balancing without there being an unbalance problem is a waste of time and effort.Therefore, an FFT spectrum is essential in determining whether balancing is the proper course of action as opposed to drive alignment, bearing replacement, foundation repair, etc.
Tracking function
Using a reference sensor, such as a photocell, the tracking function's bandpass filter locks onto that vibration frequency corresponding to the running speed of a rotating machine, following it as it changes. Tracking this vibration component (i.e. amplitude and phase) during run-up or coast-down helps one see how the rotor responds at various speeds (Fig. 2). In addition to being a necessity for Bode and polar plots, the tracking function makes it possible to determine where, for example, a system resonance might be, thereby helping the analyst avoid this speed when balancing.
Time waveform function
(Oscilloscope Function)
The FFT capabilities of today's analyzers often cause the value of the oscilloscope function (Fig. 3) to be overlooked. The oscilloscope has an advantage in that, unlike the FFT function, it provides an almost un-damped, instantaneous response to the vibration signal. This makes it useful in the identification of transient, short-duration events such as shocks and impacts.
Influence from unstable, irregular vibrations caused by such things as mechanical looseness, transient impacts, etc., can negatively affect the outcome of a field balancing job. Identification and resolution of these problems, therefore, is very important prior to balancing. The oscilloscope function also is useful for identifying sensor problems.
The "art" of balancing has come a long way from the days when vectors were plotted by hand on polar graph paper.Whether static (single plane) or dynamic (dual plane) balancing is needed, today's instrumentation provides the analyst with an array of powerful user-friendly tools, all designed to get the job done as quickly and efficiently as possible. Some of the best software tools:
PC upload capability
Whether it's for your own records or those of your customer, the ability to upload all recorded data to a PC is vital. The PC environment affords the user further data analysis and management capacity. Using PCbased software, the analyst can, for example, create expert balancing reports. These reports might incorporate such tools as Bode and Nyquist plots, cascade/waterfall spectra, etc. Compatibility with Windows Office Suite programs such as Word and Excel are important features as well.

Friday, September 20, 2013.
One of the stories on the NCAA.com homepage yesterday featured the Milk Can, the trophy that goes to the Boise State-Fresno State winner. It came complete with a photo of Titus Young kissing it and Brandyn Thompson cradling it after the Broncos' 51-0 win over the Bulldogs in 2010. (Frankly, it's a slow news week in college football.) The video story from NCAA.com's "Under Center" crew followed the trendy national perception on this game, including lines like, "There's reason to believe David's slingshot is losing its power against Goliath." And, "(It) has all the makings of a 'passing the torch' game." And, "(Derek Carr) could have his way against the inexperienced Bronco 'D.'" And, "The Blue Man Group is no longer the crowd-pleaser it once was—we'll see this week if the Smurfs can once again become a box office hit."
the biggest beatdown anyone has handed the Broncos since Georgia got them 48-13 in 2005, the year before (Chris) Petersen replaced Dan Hawkins. Not by coincidence, that's also the last time Fresno State defeated its nemesis." The key might be what's going on tonight inside those helmets with the green "V" on the back. "Boise State has won the past seven meetings against the Bulldogs by 10 or more points, four by 20 or more," notes Warszawski. "Forget physical talent. It's a mental block taller than El Capitan."
To whom will the ball be going tonight for Boise State? Virtually all of them so far this season have gone to the wide receivers. The Broncos have 78 pass completions over the first three games, and 70 of them have been snagged by the wideouts. The tight ends are of particular interest going into tonight's game. Holden Huff is sidelined again, but Boise State still has Gabe Linehan and Connor Peters, two capable pass-gatherers. Linehan had the longest catch of his career last week, a 33-yarder from Joe Southwick. But that was only Linehan's second reception of the year. The only catch Peters has ever made as a Bronco came on a two-point conversion last season at New Mexico. Throwing to the tight ends tonight would seem to be a valuable wrinkle.
Geraldo Boldewijn could take a step tonight, if the past is any indication. The senior from Amsterdam by way of Capital High has four career touchdown receptions, and three have come against Fresno State. Boldewijn returned to the team for the Fresno State game two years ago after his four-game suspension to start the season. He caught two Kellen Moore touchdown passes, still a career high. Boldewijn scored another TD against the Bulldogs on the blue turf last year. His only other score came last December against Washington in the Las Vegas Bowl. He came within a half-yard of a fifth career touchdown last Friday versus Air Force.
This is the second-earliest Boise State and Fresno State have ever faced off in conference play. The earliest was in 2009, when the Broncos outlasted the Bulldogs 51-34, surviving a 234-yard night by current San Diego Charger Ryan Matthews. It was 100 degrees at kickoff that night. The high today in Fresno is predicted to be 91. No big deal. Boise State just needs to have four quarters' worth of gas in its tank.
There are three huge opportunities staring the Mountain West in the face tomorrow, starting with Utah State at USC. Southern Cal is a 6½-point favorite. But if you watched the Trojans in their 10-7 loss at home to Washington State, and if you've paid any kind of attention to USU, you know there isn't any reason the Aggies can't win that game. USC has to outscore Chuckie Keeton, who just became the first quarterback in Mountain West history to throw for five touchdowns in back-to-back games. Elsewhere, if David Fales is the real deal at quarterback, San Jose State should have a legit shot at beating Minnesota.
And one that many will file away for future reference is San Diego State's home date with Oregon State. We're still trying to figure out what to make of the Aztecs after their losses to Eastern Illinois and Ohio State. SDSU will start walk-on quarterback Quinn Kaehler, who relieved Adam Dingwell versus the Buckeyes and threw for 216 yards and a touchdown. Dingwell has tossed five interceptions in five quarters of work this season. And the Aztecs should have star running back Adam Muema back against the Beavers. Muema has played sparingly due to a low ankle sprain but was said to be "flying around" in practice Wednesday. On the opportunity front, I don't consider Colorado State at Alabama as much of one.
Oddsmakers haven't bought in to Idaho's outstanding effort and progress in the Vandals' 10-point loss to heavily-favored Northern Illinois last week. Washington State is a 31-point favorite in the 91st Battle of the Palouse tomorrow. The question will be: was Idaho's offensive emergence last week for real? We'll find out, as the Cougars are 11th in the nation defensively in yards allowed. The Vandal offense performed well on the ground and in the air last week—James Baker rushed for 74 yards on 19 carries, Chad Chalich was 14-of-25 for 236 yards, and Dezmon Epps led the receiving corps with eight catches for 106 yards. Idaho needs to pile up some points, because it promises to allow a good chunk on defense.
Chris Carr is about to play in his ninth NFL season. The former Boise State cornerback was picked up by the New Orleans Saints this week in time to activate him for Sunday's game against Arizona in the Superdome. Carr was signed by the Saints in June and lasted until the final cuts of training camp, when he was a numbers casualty in the secondary. Elsewhere, don't expect to see former Broncos Quintin Mikell and Jeron Johnson Sunday. Neither player has participated in practice this week, with Mikell ruled out of Carolina's game against the Giants with an ankle injury, and Johnson doubtful for the Seahawks versus Jacksonville with a hamstring problem.
Graham DeLaet was knocking on the contention door at the Tour Championship until the final five holes of the first round yesterday. The Boise State grad absorbed three bogeys over that stretch to finish with a two-under 68, tied for sixth place. DeLaet is four shots behind leader Henrik Stenson, who burned the East Lake Golf Club course with a 64. That's not too much ground to make up over the next three days, though, if DeLaet were to catch fire and sustain it. But he needs Stenson to fall off. One of his other rivals for the FedExCup has a much taller order—Tiger Woods was three-over at 73 and is in second-to-last place. Of course, there are just 30 players in the season finale.
Last night, former Boise Hawk John Lackey pitched one of his best games since going to Boston in 2010, and it came on the night the Red Sox clinched a postseason berth. The 34-year-old righthander carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning and finished with a complete-game three-hitter in a 3-1 win over Baltimore. Lackey's 10-12 record this season is deceiving. He's compiled a strong 3.34 ERA—he just hasn't had a lot of run support. It's even more striking with Lackey's coming off Tommy John surgery last year. Incidentally, Lackey has had two other flirtations with no-hitters. One was three years ago at Safeco Field against the Mariners, broken up in the eighth inning by Casey Kotchman, the son of Lackey's former manager with the Hawks.
This Day In Sports…September 20, 2008, five years ago today:
Boise State picks up a landmark win, its first-ever over a BCS school on the road, with a 37-32 victory at Oregon. It was the one validation long-time naysayers had been looking for, and the Broncos made their season debut at No. 19 in the AP Poll and No. 20 in the Coaches Poll. Redshirt freshman quarterback Kellen Moore was unphased by the loud throng of 58,713 in sold-out Autzen Stadium, throwing for 386 yards and three touchdowns in only his third college game. Moore keyed a 24-point second quarter that allowed BSU to hold off a wild fourth quarter Duck rally.
(Tom Scott hosts the Scott Slant segment Sunday nights at 10:30PM on KTVB's Sunday Sports Extra and anchors five sports segments each weekday on 93.1 The Ticket. He also served as color commentator on KTVB's telecasts of Boise State football for 14 seasons.)

Comfortable satisfying buy.
Light weight shoe. Durable. Upper gets creased after some usage and mild wrinkled lines develop. The white leather thread lace shows signs of ageing very fast. The shoe can withstand almost everything else. Crocs butter works well in rebuffing the shoe. Be careful with the sizing. It is on the tighter side. All in all, a comfortable, satisfying buy.

VIDEO: Arming Arkansas teachers with guns in school
When the new school year begins in Clarksville, Arkansas, some teachers will carry a slightly heavier workload - 9mm handguns. The school district is making use of a state law that allows teachers to carry concealed handguns on campus.

Cats outsmart the researchers
I knew a lot had been written about dogs, and I assumed there must be at least a handful of studies on cats. But after weeks of scouring the scientific world for someone - anyone - who studied how cats think, all I was left with was this statement, laughed over the phone to me by one of the world's top animal cognition experts, a Hungarian scientist named Ádám Miklósi.
Antique clock collection on display at Edmond Library
In a world that's often hurried and brief, the Sooner Time Collectors have nothing but time. Oklahoma chapter members of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors have provided antique pieces from personal collections to display at the Edmond Library until the end of April.
Since the 1950s, Sooner Time Collectors have gathered to learn about the inner workings of clocks and to admire one-of-a-kind finds. Of interest to the community is their involvement with repairs for the Cowboy Hall of Fame clock and the UCO tower. They now have 35 members who meet monthly as a chapter of the 16,000-member NAWCC community across America and the world.
Be on the lookout for termites
Warming temperatures and spring rainfall means swarming conditions for the homeowners' nemesis in Oklahoma — the termite.
Termites are Mother Nature's way of recycling dead wood, as well as aerating the soil and increasing its fertility and water percolation. They are an important food source for other insects, spiders, reptiles, amphibians and birds within the food web, and they are essential for the wellbeing of the environment.
House Republicans are more active on Twitter than Democrats
Your representative in the House is almost certainly on Twitter. Your senator definitely is. But how are they using the social network? Are Democrats more active than Republicans, or vice versa? Who has the most followers on the Hill?
Do your genes make you procrastinate?
Procrastinators, in my experience, like nothing better than explaining away their procrastination: General busyness, fear of failure, and simple laziness are just a handful of the excuses and theories often tossed around. Now researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have added another option to the list: genetics.
VIDEO: Moose charges snowmobile, flees after warning shot
While snowmobiling in New England, Bob and Janis Powell of Maine were charged by a moose and caught the entire attack on camera.

Touch-A-Truck event draws families to UCO
Edmond Electric and Edmond Vehicle Maintenance are co-hosting the Edmond Touch-A-Truck from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May 17 in the UCO parking lot off Second Street. Touch-A-Truck is a fundraising event that provides children of all ages with the opportunity to experience life-size vehicles and interact with community support leaders like police officers, firemen, construction workers and many more. Families will have the opportunity for a hands-on exploration of many vehicles such as Edmond's own fire trucks and police cars, an Edmond Electric bucket truck and even a solid waste truck.
Admission for the Touch-A-Truck event is a suggested $2 donation with the proceeds going to the Edmond HOPE Center. For more information, contact Edmond Electric at 216-7671 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Why do wolves howl?
Of all the myths that dog the wolf, none is more widely accepted than the idea that wolves howl at the moon. Images of wolves with their heads upturned, singing at the night sky, are as unquestioned as a goldfish's three-second memory or a dog's color-blindness (both also myths).

Does anyone know if there will be an app developed to tether our Droid phones to the Xoom?
Does anyone know if there will be an app developed to tether our Droid phones to the Xoom?
Yep, but you have to pay extra for it (or root). The wireless tethering feature on your phone will take care of it.
Not realy, I am running EasyTether on my Droid X which gives me access to the net on my laptop for free. Thats what Im talking about.
Xoom comes with Honey Comb which includes native wifi tethering. I have a 1GB/month data plan and it DOES NOT COST EXTRA to use the hotspot feature. Just tried and works great.
I have an app on my Droid X that allows me to tether it via its USB charging cord to my laptop and get to the internet though the phone 3g.
I want to be able to do that with the xoom so I dont need to pick up yet another plan.
Any advice for using an HTC G2 tether the xoom, ala PDA net or such?
I just made this thread, could potentially solve yalls problem
Possible good news for those looking to tether
I followed the instructions in your link and appear to have connected my Xoom to my X through BlueTooth. Questions is, do I ever have to disconnect them? Can you be connected to 2 blue tooth devices at the same time i.e., xoom and BMW? Maybe a dumb question but...
Any got a way to tether nonroot without hotspot?

hammer house of horror boxset
I purchased Hammer House Of Horrors (Box Set) for my girlfriend, as she likes a good fright and was transported back to quite a few years ago when these stories were broadcast on television. I remember how enjoyably entertaining and nerve jangling they were then and they have stood the test of time well while still being a great retro present.

5531 Burnet Rd, Austin, TX | Directions 78756-160330.331425 -97.739927
Neighborhoods: Brentwood - Highland, Brentwood
A friend of mine got a jackalope here, and constantly gets compliments on it. Well, compliments and a few people asking if the artist messed up mid-ink -- but, we Austinites know better.
I've been driving from Oklahoma City to Austin to get a half-sleeve from Craig Sheets. He's just that good. The shop is clean and everyone that works there is professional and super nice. The shop is very clean. Craig is a true artist and everyone that sees my tattoo is blown away. I'm very surprised to see bad feedback on this review. I'm guessing it must be rival shops. My good friend has also had a large cover up by Craig and another friend had work done with one of the other artists. They were both very happy with their tattoos and the experience. I've been to plenty of other shops in several states but this has by far been my best experience. I highly recommend this shop.
This is by far the best tattoo shop in Austin. I have been getting tattooed here for years and will never go anyplace else!! Craig Sheets has done both of my custom-designed sleeves and I could not be any happier with the design outcome or his professionalism. The owner Justin is always courteous to me and no matter how much time passes in between sessions he always shakes my hand and remembers my name, making me feel like a part of the Atomic family. I would recommend this shop for ANYONE who wants high-quality tattoo work,.
Justin Timming is the WORST – I would highly avoid this place. I went in to get a simple tattoo. Not only was Jason rude, but looked like he had a hangover. He spent more time stopping what he was doing, which was work, and spent more time txt messaging on his phone. He work is shoddy at best. He really need to also clean himself up and look at little professional. His ego is big but his work is horrible. Go elsewhere.
Worst Tattoo Experience Ever! – In 2000, I moved to Austin the & wanted to mark the occasion by getting my 1st Tattoo. I drove by Atomic North dozens of times and finally decided to check it out. I looked through a portfolio by an artist named "Tim." (He's not there anymore thank God!) His portfolio looked respectable and I had a picture of the exact tattoo I wanted, a tribal Shark Circle. I thought it would simple enough and paid $90.
"Tim" then proceeded to deface my chest deeply and tattooing his square version of my drawing larger than the drawing, off center without even stenciling or drawing on me 1st, Being a 1st timer I thought this was normal. There was so much blood, he cut deep,a and it was on my chest so I couldn't see what he was doing. It hurt like hell.
When "Tim" was done I had a square tattoo instead of a circular one in the drawing i gave him. I was in shock that this jerk would deface my body so badly rather than refer me to someone who knew what they were doing. The owner of Atomic North saw the picture and theTim's horrible results the next day. None of the shark fins or tails were the same size and it looked nothing like the drawing. The owner actually gave me a full refund because "Tim" did such an awful job. But I've had to live with this monstrosity for 10 years now, and it sadens me whenever I look at it.
There was no L.A. Ink show back then. Kat Von D & Cory Miller, 2 of the best tattoo artists in the world, will DRAW FREEHAND on someone occasionally, and then OK it with the client, but they never ever TATTOO FREEHAND. If only show like L.A. Ink existed in 2000.
I ran into "Tim" at the old Ritz Club on 6th months later and he tried to talk to me. I said simply, "I recognize you. I don't ever want to talk to you. You ruined my life."
I hope "Tim" is out of the tattoo business am disgusted with Atomic North for hiring someone so inexperienced who has scarred me for life with an awful tattoo! The only reason I didn't give them a 0 rating is because it wouldn't let me.
Chris at Atomic on 183 was great!! – I went to Christ a little over a year ago and got my husbands name tattooed on my rite inner forearm. HE DID AN AMAZING JOB on it...totally exceeded my expectations! It was only my 3rd tattoo so I was a little nervous but he totally made me feel at ease shooting the s*@t and cracking jokes and was NOT unprofessional ONE TIME!! My brother in law stayed with m while I was getting it done and he LOVED the work so much he is going to Chris when he is ready for his second. My best friend and I are going in next month to get matching tattoos and using Chris. So is my husband when he gos in to get our 4 kids names done. I have had SO MANY compliments on the quality of work on my arm and I always recomend Chris when someone I know is looking for an artist. I cant wait to go back and get MORE!!
Mike Pain is the best. – I recently finished a two tattoo project with Mike Pain at Atomic Tattoo & Body Piercing on Burnet. From the time I started to explain the idea until the finishing touches, this tattoo was a great experience.
When a person wants a tattoo, they don't realize what it takes to put the design idea onto paper, and then onto skin. Mike was clear on exactly what was possible and took all the print outs and randomness of my idea and turned it into something really beautiful.
The lines are so perfect, and the fill is even and bright. I have strangers comment on how cool it looks. In fact, I'm not planning on going to any one else anytime soon.
If you're looking to get a tattoo, do yourself a favor and prepare the idea before you go in. Go look at tattoo books, print out ideas, write up a list of what's most important. In short, know what you want -but BE OPEN to the artist's suggestions. You will have a much more positive experience.
If you want the best, go to Mike Pain!
My First Tattoo – I got my first tattoo at the Burnett location tonight. Dallas was the artist I worked with. Walking in at 9ish, being kind of a yuppy-looking late 30s guy, I wasn't made to feel unwelcome or "what are you doing here?" He worked with me on the vague idea I had in my head for what I wanted and sketched out a great design. He could tell I was nervous (or maybe I came out and told him, I don't remember!) but he gave me a good idea of what I was getting into, kept me informed along the way to let me know how close to being done he was, and in general was quick, skilled (as far as I can tell so far), and professional. The place was clean, well lit, and in general pretty approachable. He even took a picture of it for me with my cell phone before covering it, geek that I am. He said he was new at the studio and didn't have written instructions for after-care, but he went over them verbally several times. He covered it with saran wrap, which I guess is a personal preference, but there is where written instructions would have helped allay my concerns when the first thing I read after googling "how to care for my new tattoo" said "saran wrap....bad!"
All in all, I'm pleased with my experience there and my new tattoo. I would recommend them.
sorry bout your bad luck, but... – I've had several tattoos and ear stretchings done at the Burnet location, and while I can understand why some people might feel intimidated... you should know that a tattoo is not going to help your self esteem if you're already having issues:( I have had nothing but great experiences here, and I have referred many of my friends and coworkers. I just read some of the not so shining reviews and I noticed that each one specifies that' the person ' giving the review was dressed like a dork and 'wah-wah-wah' was treated like crap. Not to mention they each strategically put the name of a competing tattoo shop in their reviews. Kinda dooshy if you ask me. Yes there are a ton of good shops around Austin, but from my experiences, I haven't seen anything out there that makes me want to switch shops. I recommend you only go to Atomic if you want a serious tattoo, not if you're looking for someone to blow hot air up your rear to make you comfortable.
Don't Waste Your Time – I read all the reviews here before chancing it at Atomic- but I figured I would check it out anyway. I walked into the Burnet location, and yes I admit I looked a little like a deer in headlights- I had never been in a tattoo shop before, and there was all kinds of flash to look at, so it was a little overwhelming. But regardless, instead of being helpful- the guy at the front took it as a chance to jump all over me and be a total jerk. While I was talking about what I wanted, the woman sitting behind the counter was rolling her eyes, because apparently I'm not quite badass enough for them. Then I watched as a tattoo artist talked to another customer like they were a total idiot. At that point, I knew i wouldn't be choosing them. So, sorry to say that those negative reviews probably AREN'T made up. Really- don't waste your time here...there are MUCH better tattoo shops in Austin (I ended up going to Southside, and it was a totally different experience...in a good way!)
So far, so good! – I'm working my way up to getting my first tattoo. All I need to do is turn 18! While I was at work one night, me and a co-worker of mine were talking about tattoo's, and she referred me to her tattooist. We called him up, and he was pleased to hear that I wanted a tattoo. That next weekend I went down to see him, and he worked with me to help me find the perfect position and everything that I want. After our first meeting, I have been going down there every few weeks, and the pictures that my tattooist has come up with for me are absolutely breath-taking.
Every time I walk in, I am professionally greeted, and I receive excellent service.
So far, making the trip down there has definitely been worth my time. I'm extremely excited to see what the outcome of my tattoo will look like.
The price is definitely fair, I think, for all the detail that will be going into my tattoo.
With the way I have been treated so far, I'm sure the after effect of my tattoo will be tremendously great.
