After you installed BitTornado, you don't have to open anything in the folder. Just click on the torrent link in a thread, then it'll start download. If you want to resume next time, just click on the same torrent link in a thread, it'll resume download.
P.S. - Remember to seed after you are done with the download. : )

Well some of what you said Perry is true. BUT in order to resume downloads you must save in the exact same spot that you have saved it before. Another thing is depending on your version of Bit Tornado. There is an option to "auto-resume". When you click the same torrent to download it again, Bit Tornado will save it in the same place and resume the download. Under "ask where to save there is the option to have "auto resume" on.

What the crap are you talking about... She didnt say anything about a video problem or anything related to that matter. And obviously her question was answer because she did not post asking again.
Btw, LiLxAzNxDrIfTeAx22, I've seen you around the board posting this past hour. STOP IT. You are bringing up useless stuff in threads (also outside this thread) and bumping stupid 1 year old threads.

I dont like BitTornado try using azureus.Ive used a lot of differnet BT clients and this one is the best. No hassles, less memory usage, auto-resume, you can choose the files you want to dl and it has plugins like safepeer Just my 2 cents.

After upgrading to Azureus 18.104.22.168 I am now seeing the top menu and other labels in the configuration looking... ummm well... odd
Is it just my Azureus 18.104.22.168 client or are other having problems as well?
here is a pic of what i am talking about:

bah sorry i found out....
to fix you must close your Azureus clients then delete the folder:
Under unix, this is usually:
Under Windows, this is usually:
.../Documents and Settings/username/Application Data/Azureus/
Under OSX, this is usually:
.../Users/username/Library/Application Support/Azureus/
~thanks to nolar from the SourceForge.net community~
after you delete the folder when you open up your client you have to reconfigure your clients because it clears all your settings... and gets rid of your records and statistics for seeding and downloading
but if fixes the strange menu labels

it's been my experience that the bt client doesn't matter... i have had dozens of bt clients, and they've all had the same speed... it actually depends on your/their connection. you can't say, ok i'll download bitcomet and now that same torrent will become increasingly faster.
for simple downloading/uploading, resuming (altho it has no button, it will resume when opened again). the official bt client is probably the best choice, since it's small - not complicated - and effective.
but if you have other intended uses for bt, then you might wanna get bitcomet or bittornado.

My experiences contradict yours then. Because of my DSL modem I can't utilize clients like BitTornado because my modem doubles as a wierd router that only seems to foward ports half the time. Azureus seems to be more compatable with my connection and at my friend's house I've tested giving me a faster download rate.

well slow download speeds might not be the bittorrent problem
you might have a problem with firewall porting or cache...
do you use a Upnp setup?

Please stop treating me like an idiot. I know enough NOT to get all snarly at the thought of a family claiming Income Support with 3 or more kids, because I know that many of those people lost work in this recession AFTER the children were born. I know that 25 does not mean you have not contributed, it can mean you have contributed for 9 years!. I know that Housing benefit provides and emergency net for women (and sometimes men) who are being abused by their partner. I know that very many people claiming Housing Benefit are employed taxpayers claiming only part of the amount.
I know that the problem with housing benefit is that you (and your predecessors) allowed a situation where someone earning a wage needs state help to cover the rent. That is the big problem here, but you are too cowardly to address that as too many BTL Landlords vote Tory.
Yours in hope of being treated like an adult,
Peachy, over 25 years old, who left home at 24 and was in Ft work and living with her partner.

Addiction can develop quickly. An individual may start by just trying a substance in a social setting, or by other circumstances, thinking it will be a one-off or rare occurrence. But no matter the substance or situation, a drug can lead to dependency. Once an addiction sets in, it can begin to affect an individual's professional and personal life.
Getting rid of an addiction alone can be a huge challenge, which is why Ames inpatient drug detox centers and other treatment options in and around Boone, Ankeny and Johnston are there to help with the process. Each facility offers either inpatient programs, outpatient programs or a combination of both to help those dealing with an addiction to marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, prescription drugs or another substance.
Methods Used in Ames Addiction Treatment Programs
Inpatient and outpatient facilities typically use a combination of addiction treatment methods and therapies. In an Ames drug detox program, the patient goes through the process of getting any substances out of their system. Because of the withdrawal effects caused by many substances, including marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin and prescription drugs, detox programs may provide the patient with medication to make the symptoms more bearable. The medication used will depend on the patient's substance, or substances, of choice. When the patient continues treatment after detoxing, the facility may continue to give them medication to help prevent cravings.
Addiction therapy is another treatment method that is typically used during and after the detox process as the patient continues in the program. The patient will work with a therapist to understand what originally led him or her to use drugs. Therapists also help patients develop thought processes to help avoid future use. Therapy can occur in a private or a group setting. Private therapy sessions result in more one-on-one attention for the patient while group therapy sessions are focused on providing peer support.
24/7 Support and Care at Ames Inpatient Drug Rehabs
Inpatient drug rehabs offer shared or private rooms where patients can live on-site for an amount of time that varies depending on their needs. Ames inpatient drug detox centers may have the patient stay for only as long as it takes him or her to detox and then continue the recovery process through outpatient rehab. In some cases, patients may stay in the inpatient facility for a period of weeks or months.
At an inpatient rehab, patients from Ames, Boone, Ankeny or Johnston have staff around to monitor and support them through the recovery process. Each patient in an inpatient setting is treated outside of their normal environment, which can help one avoid any triggers that would otherwise lead them back to drug use.
Getting Ames Intensive Outpatient Addiction Treatment
An intensive outpatient addiction treatment program requires the patient to visit a facility frequently, possibly every day to start with, to receive treatment. This treatment includes individualized therapy, which could last for a few hours, and possibly medication.
Those undergoing outpatient addiction treatment won't need to visit as often when they start to progress in their recovery from an addiction to substances like marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin or prescription drugs. The intensive portion of outpatient treatment occurs during the initial phase when the patient may be detoxing. Outpatient facilities are an option for those who need to continue to handle their day-to-day responsibilities while receiving treatment.
With all these programs available, many individuals don't know which option to choose. Our addiction specialists will listen to what people need and search for the right Ames drug detox program. Our specialists have experience in assessing individuals who are facing addiction and pairing them with appropriate treatment options in Ames as well as Boone, Ankeny, Johnston or other surrounding areas. Give us a call today.

New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan, just days ahead of his departure for Rome and the conclave that will elect the next pope, has been deposed about clergy sex abuse in his former Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
Dolan, who led Milwaukee's Roman Catholics from 2002 to 2009, answered questions Wednesday about his decision to publicize names of clergy members who had been accused of molesting children in cases that are mostly decades old, church attorney Frank LoCoco said.
The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, an independent network of abuse victims and their supporters, said it would press to make the transcript of Dolan's testimony public.
The deposition is part of a bankruptcy case filed in 2011 by Dolan's Wisconsin successor, Archbishop Jerome Listecki, over abuse claims by nearly 500 people. Many Milwaukee church officials, including another former archbishop, Rembert Weakland, have been deposed.
Dolan had long awaited the chance to answer the attorneys' questions, Archdiocese of New York spokesman Joseph Zwilling said.
"He has indicated over the past two years that he was eager to cooperate in whatever way he could," Zwilling said in a statement.
Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has been mentioned on some Vatican analysts' lists of cardinals who could be elected in the upcoming conclave, though he is considered a longshot. He is one of two U.S. cardinals to be deposed this week in cases related to the abuse scandal, which erupted in 2002 in the Archdiocese of Boston, then spread through the United States to Europe and beyond.
Cardinal Roger Mahony, the retired Los Angeles archbishop, is scheduled to be questioned Saturday in a lawsuit over a visiting Mexican priest who police believe molested 26 children in 1987. The Rev. Nicolas Aguilar Rivera fled to Mexico in 1988 after parents complained. He has been ousted from the priesthood but remains a fugitive.
Pressure has been building in Italy for Mahony to bow out of the conclave. A few weeks ago, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles under court order released thousands of pages from the confidential personnel files of more than 120 accused clergy members. The files show Mahony and other archdiocese officials shielded accused priests and did not alert parishioners of the potential risks to their children.
Mahony declined to comment through a spokesman on Wednesday but has indicated in his blog and Twitter posts that he is going to Rome.
The plaintiffs in the Wisconsin claim have an uphill battle to make their case given the state's statute of limitations. The depositions are in part meant to determine when the cases first became known to church officials and victims.
Listecki had said the bankruptcy filing was needed to help compensate victims fairly while ensuring the archdiocese could still function. Milwaukee is the eighth diocese in the U.S. to seek bankruptcy protection over abuse claims. Advocates for victims have accused Milwaukee church officials of trying to shield its assets, in part by transferring millions of dollars several years ago into a cemetery trust fund and a parish fund.
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee recently said it was going broke. Its legal and other fees have reached nearly $9 million, according to court filings. But attorneys for victims say church officials are responsible for the prolonged legal battle.
LoCoco said that the abuse children had suffered was awful and that Dolan recognized this and took extensive steps to help the victims, including publicizing the names of accused clergy members so people would come forward and begin a healing process.
Peter Isely, Midwest director of the Survivors' Network, contended that Dolan "did a lot of creative maneuvering of priest sex offenders and creative accounting of church money" without holding accountable archdiocesan officials who failed to stop abusers.

Hollywood writer and producer Ryan Murphy (Popular, Running With Scissors, Nip/Tuck, Glee) has re-listed his home high in the hills above the legendary Chateau Marmont hotel, according to a report by the Realestalker. Modern master Carl Maston designed the classic bungalow for his own family, and the relatively modest property—three bedrooms and three bathrooms cover just over 3,000 square feet—has been painstakingly remodeled, most evidently in the sleek, stainless steel kitchen and poured concrete floors throughout. Long, lean lines, warm, wand plenty of floor-to-ceiling glass windows are dead giveaways of Maston's iconic style. Sleek cabinetry, cool colors, and a few in-ground pools help bring things up to speed.
First purchased in 2001, Murphy made an initial attempt to sell his gem for $4,195,000 in 2008. A couple of buyer-free years—not to mention, his recent purchase of Diane Keaton's residence in Beverly Hills—have inspired Murphy to drop his asking price significantly to $3,250,000. Takers?

Richmond music critics: Charlottesville shows rock!
As you may have noticed, every magazine or newspaper you pick up this week is running their ââ?¬Ë?06 almanac issue. The news, the people, the trends, and the events that shaped another year past. Of course, The Hook is no exception. However, imagine our surprise as we browsed Richmond-based Style Weekly's ââ?¬Ë?06 music round-up, only to discover that it's all about Charlottesville...well, sort of.
Style Weekly asked its regular music critics to pick their top five albums, favorite single, and favorite Virginia live performance for the year. While their artist choices traversed the musical landscape, the venues for Virginia live performances were awfully familiar.
As SW's music editors put it, "To the capital city's shame, nearly every favorite live show occurred in Charlottesville. But don't think of music critics as pompous windbags, elitists or music snobs. Instead, think of them as lovers in a state whose motto welcomes them."
Wow, talk about sour grapes! Indeed, three of SW's four critics chose Charlottesville shows. And so, to this city's delight (and our snobdom?),we list them here...Â
Art Brut at Satellite Ballroom, Charlottesville
This show flat-out rocked. The lovable English crew led by charismatic front man Eddie Argos played every song from its acclaimed debut, "Bang Bang Rock & Roll," with electrifying verve for a small crowd that was enraptured throughout. Like a fun pep rally for U.K. alternative rock freaks.–- Brent Baldwin
Dungen at Satellite Ballroom, Charlottesville
These kids from Sweden are a time-machine-as-band, evoking perfectly the hazy psychedelia in full flower as the '60s came to a close. Their terrifically catchy songs and leader (and Robert Plant clone) Gustav Ejstes' crazy instrumental chops – soloing on guitar, flute, Fender Rhodes and percussion – elevate them beyond a nostalgia act.–Mark Richardson
Neko Case at Starr Hill Music Hall, Charlottesville
Flanked by a handful of brilliant musicians on a tiny stage, Neko Case and Kelly Hogan mesmerized the sold-out crowd with hearty vocals and well-timed comic relief. If you've never heard Neko recount stories of cutting bubble gum out of her dog's hair on the tour bus or other roadside adventures, you are missing out.–Hilary Langford
8 comments
What about James Brown at the Pavilion? Or James Taylor at John Paul Jones? DMB? Disney on Ice?
Homer....seems to me you're missing the point. SW editors had to choose what they thought were the best live performances across the state...3 out of four chose live shows in Virginia. Perhaps they did see Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, the Derek Trucks Band, and Hot Tuna. The point is...we seem to have a great live music scene in this town...proven by the fact that Richmond-based music critics couldn't find shows they liked in their own city!
Do those darn Style people drive up here to see this stuff? Shouldn't the Hook be attending these sophisticated cultural events?
Too bad they missed Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, the Derek Trucks Band, and Hot Tuna.
Ah, they didn't miss anything...they had to pick their favorite live performance in Virginia. Really, did you people even read the post?
Yeah. Changes nothing. Too bad they missed Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, the Derek Trucks Band, and Hot Tuna. And it's also too bad they went to press with the best shows of the year before the Charlottesville Blues Allstars reunion tonight.
Indeed. The Silver Jews embarked on their first, and possibly only, tour ever this year and stopped at our own Satellite Ballroom. Hurrah!
Maybe Satellite Ballroom should move to Richmond where the press & community appreciate (& cover) what they are doing...
Art Brut, Dungen both got Zero coverage in the Hook...
The Silver Jews review was consolidated with a Mute Math Review...??? What?
Clear Channel venues got no trouble getting good press in Charlottesville...

Astros can't hold lead in ninth in loss to A's
Qualls allows three runs after 'pen stymies rallies in sixth and eighth
OAKLAND -- As his teammates shuffled quietly between the trainer's room, the shower and their lockers, Astros reliever Chad Qualls sat solemnly in front of his locker in full uniform with his head down and in deep thought.
Qualls was one of the Astros' biggest offseason acquisitions, brought back to Houston to help avoid the stomach-punching scenarios like the one that unfolded in the ninth inning on Saturday afternoon.
The A's rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth off Qualls, winning the game on a walk-off RBI single by Josh Reddick, to send the Astros to their sixth consecutive loss, 4-3, at sunny O.co Coliseum.
"It's a tough loss, especially playing as well as we played leading up to that ninth inning," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "We didn't close it out."
The blown save was the second in four games for the Astros, who made beefing up their bullpen a priority in the offseason, with the acquisitions of Qualls, Matt Albers, Anthony Bass and Jesse Crain, who is on the disabled list. Houston blew a league-high-tying 29 saves last year.
The Astros have been using a closer-by-committee setup this season, with Qualls getting his shot Saturday. He's certainly no stranger to the role, having saved 36 games in a two-year span with Arizona in 2009-10.
It was his first game action in more than a week. He had spent all day Wednesday at home in Houston ill, and was still regaining his strength upon arriving in Oakland early Friday. It was the same sickness that afflicted several of his teammates, including Saturday's starter Brett Oberholtzer.
"It's frustrating, especially for me," Qualls said. "We had a chance to win the game and [Oberholtzer] pitched his heart out and he's been battling sickness as well and he did a hell of a job. To come away with nothing and to have them celebrate on the field is not a good feeling."
Qualls started the ninth with a 3-1 lead, and promptly gave up a solo homer to Jed Lowrie, whom he had never faced. The next two batters reached on Josh Donaldson's walk and Yoenis Cespedes' single. Qualls recovered to strike out John Jaso before Alberto Callaspo roped a game-tying single to center, setting the stage for Reddick's heroics.
"That's one of the best characteristics of this team," Lowrie said. "We had that last year and we're off to a good start this year of really grinding out those last inning at-bats and making it tough on the other guys, never making it easy on them."
Qualls said his sinker was flat, and it was telling. After posting a 77.7-percent ground-ball rate -- the best of his career -- last season with the Marlins, none of the four balls the A's hit in the ninth inning Saturday were on the ground.
"I don't know if I was trying to generate more power," Qualls said. "I haven't been out in a while and everything else had been going on this week. My sinker had been flat, and looking back on it, I didn't get any ground balls, which is super uncharacteristic of myself.
"Obviously, I'll get it locked in and get it back to the way I was throwing. I felt I was in such a groove there. I got bitten by the sickness everybody was getting. That's definitely not an excuse. We've got to go out there no matter what and get the job down."
Oberholtzer, who was sent home from the ballpark on Friday because he wasn't feeling well, pitched well enough to win once again. He worked around eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, but still hasn't won in four starts this season despite a 3.04 ERA.
He has pitched at least five innings in his first 13 Major League starts, which ties a franchise record.
"I knew I had to come in and suck it up for the team and make some quality pitches and try to go as deep as I can in the ballgame and give the team an opportunity to win," he said.
The bullpen recorded some big outs in support of Oberholtzer. Bass got Lowrie to pop out with the bases loaded and end the sixth, and Albers pitched out of a jam in the eighth. Astros relievers have a 5.34 ERA this season and have allowed seven runs in 10 1/3 innings in two games against the A's.
"We're going to continue to go with the guys that are down there," Porter said. "That's all we can do. We can't go with somebody who's not down there. The guys down there are going to have to get it done."
Jonathan Villar paced the Astros offensively with a solo homer in the third inning -- his third of the season -- and a fifth-inning double, which led to an unearned run. Villar also made a terrific defensive play in the hole at shortstop in the second, backhanding a ball off the bat of Nick Punto and throwing him out.
Houston native Scott Kazmir pitched eight innings for the A's, allowing six hits and three runs in a no-decision.
"I thought he pitched great again," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. "At times we didn't play great behind him. And we'll continue to work on it. He doesn't let that stuff bother him. Threw over a 100 pitches today basically in the same fashion we've seen him every time. He certainly didn't deserve to get a loss."

And here's Mayo's White Sox OMG (One More Guy): Jacob Petricka, RHP.
Here's Brent Morel's description:
More of a right-handed Wade Boggs type than a power hitter at the hot corner, Morel is ready to take over at third for the White Sox. He'll hit for average, as his .305 career mark shows, and he's an outstanding defender, one who could even play shortstop if needed.
Wade Boggs? Did Kenny Williams made a deal with the devil?

It takes a lot of doing to make the economy fall from a 9 per cent growth rate two and half years ago to 6.1 per cent in the quarter ending December. A fall of one per cent means the loss of almost 15 lakh jobs and so there is a lot of pain, mostly inflicted by the UPA government. Corruption scandals also refuse to cease. But the real tragedy is that the rule of law, one of India's strengths, is crumbling.
This government undermined the rule of law when it overruled the Supreme Court in Vodafone's tax case. It decided to change the law retroactively and tax similar deals going back to 1962. It was unfair when it announced in this Budget to make Cairn, India's largest producer of petroleum, pay $90 a ton in tax suddenly when other private companies are paying $18. As it is, India's reputation has suffered ever sinceenvironmental permissions were re-opened after they had been granted officially. But when Maharashtra Hybrid Seeds Company was arbitrarily denied a license in 2010 when it had had toiled for a decade to develop Bt Brinjal, the world's scientific community was aghast. The company had completed 25 environmental bio safety studies through independent agencies, rigorous field trials by two Indian agricultural universities, and all protocols to the government's satisfaction. Finally, there is much sympathy for Norway's Telenor, which became the unwitting victim of the Supreme Court decision to cancel licenses given out corruptly--no wonder Telenor is claiming $14 billion in damages from India.
Citizens look to the state to reduce uncertainty in their lives. The state does this through a robust rule of law. As it is, there is great uncertainty in an entrepreneur's life, which is why three out of four businesses fail. But the UPA government, instead of making life predictable is the main source of uncertainty. It has weakened the rule of law; corruption is a symptom of this weakness. Some think it was inevitable: the rule of law was a foreign import of the British; after they left it began to wither. When officials began to think they were above the rule of law, it collapsed.
The rule of law is based on a moral consensus, expressed daily in the 'habits of the heart'. People obey the law not only because they fear punishment but because they think it is fair and it becomes a habit and a form of self restraint. While Indian habits may not be quite as liberal as English habits, India always had a rule of law expressed as 'dharma', which gave coherence to people's lives, reduced uncertainty and provided self-restraint. For this reason the founding fathers of our Constitution often invoked dharma in their speeches. The great P.V. Kane, who won the Bharat Ratna, called the Constitution a 'dharma text'. In pre-modern times, dharma restrained the power of the state via raja-dharma—it was higher than the king whose duty was to uphold it. Some of the UPA's ministers would do well to ponder this thought.
It may seem bizarre to invoke tradition when that tradition was responsible for so much unjust hierarchy and social injustice. But the rule of law originated in religion almost everywhere. In the West, it emerged from Christianity. Long before modern European states, Pope Gregory I established laws for marriage and inheritance. The Church also discovered the old Justinian code, which became the basis of civil law in continental Europe. Frederic Maitland says the rule of law gained higher legitimacy because it emerged from religion; thus, no English king ever believed that he was above the law. Indian kings had the same conviction about dharma. In the same way, the rule of law is central to Muslim civilization.
The ideal of a ruler guided by 'dharma' exists in the Indian imagination even today, thanks to the extraordinary continuity of our civilization. When the vast majority on the sub-continent is deeply religious, it is not inappropriate to turn to tradition to seek that moral core that can restrain public officials and citizens. Fusing tradition with modernity could help restore the moral core in a meaningful way in support of the modern rule of law to re-invigorate India's democracy.

You done good, BC! Good job tracking, had to be a tough tracking job.
You're puttin the hurt on that doe population!

CARY, N.C. - As the New England Revolution players and staff ready themselves for Saturday night's preseason finale against the Carolina RailHawks, they can be forgiven for suffering from a mild case of déjà vu.
One year ago, the Revs closed out their preseason training schedule with a 12-day stay in North Carolina, culminating with a match against the RailHawks on March 14, 2009. Just one week later, they opened the 2009 MLS regular season with a 1-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes almost 3,000 miles across the country.
Tomorrow night (Saturday, March 20), the Revolution will close out the 2010 preseason in eerily similar fashion when they finish up a 12-day trip to North Carolina by visiting the RailHawks at 7 p.m. at WakeMed Soccer Park. And just like they did last year, the Revs will open the regular season one week later in California, this time when they visit the LA Galaxy at The Home Depot Center.
Carolina defender – and current captain – Mark Schulte scored the only goal in last year's meeting to lead the RailHawks to a 1-0 win, so the Revolution will be hoping for a different outcome on this occasion. The Revs opened the 2009 season with a 1-0 win in San Jose one week later, however, so if they have the option to trade a preseason loss for a regular-season win, they might just oblige.
While the entire eight-week preseason is essential as players and coaches prepare for the rigors of an eight-month schedule, it can be argued that the final preseason game is the most critical. Teams often approach the last preseason match with a regular-season mentality, which helps the players mentally and physically adjust so the season opener doesn't come as a shock to the system.
Third-year forward Kheli Dube – who could be relied upon heavily for offensive production this season – is one player who believes in the importance of the preseason finale.
Especially for a team with so many new faces.
"We've been working hard all preseason, and [the RailHawks game] is going to show us how we've been coming together as a team," he said. "We've got a lot of new guys this year, so it will be a real test for us to see where we are heading into the new season."
Considering the fact that the Revs have chosen to close out their preseason schedule against the RailHawks for two consecutive years now, Head Coach Steve Nicol and the technical staff must believe that the second-division club provides a worthy test at such a crucial point in the preparation process.
The RailHawks – now part of the newly-formed United States Soccer Federation Division-2 Professional League – were one of the top teams in USL-1 last year, finishing with the second-best record (16-7-7) in the regular season. As good as they were overall, they were even better at home, going 11-2-2 at WakeMed Soccer Park.
Unfortunately for the RailHawks, their 2009 postseason campaign ended in disappointment with a quarterfinal loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Carolina's roster is littered with former MLS players like Josh Gardner, Daniel Paladini and the previously-mentioned Schulte, but one name will stick out above all others to Revolution fans. Guyanese forward Gregory Richardson scored six goals and added five assists after signing with the RailHawks midseason in 2009, but he'll best be remembered for the hat trick he scored against the Revolution at Gillette Stadium in 2008, when he was representing Trinidad & Tobago club Joe Public FC in the CONCACAF Champions League.
Beyond the RailHawks' talent on the field, they also provide a quality preseason tune-up simply because of the atmosphere at WakeMed Soccer Park. The projected forecast is ideal and a healthy crowd is expected to fill the stands, which will help set the stage for the Revolution's regular-season opener at The Home Depot Center next weekend.
The atmosphere will be extra-special for rookie forward Zack Schilawski, who not only had a standout four-year career at nearby Wake Forest University, but also grew up in Cary, right down the road from WakeMed Soccer Park.
While Schilawski will be playing in front of a horde of friends and family on Saturday night, his primary focus will be on preparing for his first professional game next weekend.
Schilawski has paired up with Dube throughout the preseason, and the partnership has steadily developed as the weeks have passed. Saturday night's meeting with the RailHawks will provide one more chance for the duo to work together before the season kicks off.
Both players have reaped the rewards of the combination this preseason, and Schilawski (three goals, one assist) and Dube (one goal, two assists) are looking increasingly likely to find their names in the starting lineup when the regular season begins next week.
"I think we complement each other," Dube said. "We listen to each other. We're both forwards, so I can learn something from him and he can learn something from me. It's been working the past couple of weeks."
Schilawski agreed with Dube's assessment that communication has played a major factor in the pair's success.
"[Kheli] communicates with me a lot, which I appreciate" he said. "I think we're a little bit similar in the runs that we make sometimes, but with each game we've started to change it up a little bit more and be a little bit more dynamic."
No matter what happens on the field on Saturday night, the Revolution's 12-day journey to North Carolina will almost certainly be considered a success. Seven outdoor training sessions and three preseason games have provided the perfect preparation for the impending regular-season schedule.
"The whole team has looked good," Dube said. "We've been working so hard each and every day, and it's not just about the attack – it's about the whole team. We've got a lot of new players, so we've got to get used to it. I think we've been doing pretty well, and [Saturday night] we're going to see where we are as a team."

This pre-owned Rolex watch is in overall excellent pre-owned condition with only minor surface wear to the bracelet.
By Paul Altieri
The modern Rolex Submariner is equipped with a newer-style case, bracelet, bezel, and dial. Its design is contemporary while honoring the core design of the original 1950s Submariner, making it a popular choice among used Rolex collectors. The ref. 116610 that you see here today is a stunning Oystersteel example that includes a black "Maxi" dial topped with long-lasting plots in white gold surrounds, a "Cerachrom" ceramic bezel insert with a 60-minute diver's scale, and a calibre 3135 Perpetual movement. The case and bracelet offer a slightly more robust hold on the wrist than older-model Submariners, thanks to the addition of a larger crown guard, wider lugs, and a bracelet with more solid construction. If you're in the market for a diver with bold style, the ref. 116610 might be the perfect watch for your wrist.
*All Pre-Owned Rolex watches are guaranteed to be 100% genuine and certified authentic. All watches are shipped to fit the average size wrist (7 1/4" - 7 1/2" for men and 6 1/4" - 6 1/2" for women). Additional links can be purchased if needed.

I must say doing business with Bob's was seamless. My sales person Alex Nunes was excellent. Every thing they stated was correct. The Rolex Submariner 166610LN I purchased came in better than excellent condition more like mint condition. I paid and received my watch the next day. I highly recommend Bob's Watches for your purchase of a Rolex Watch. They are the number one Rolex reseller and I will definitely do business with them again.
My Submariner arrived the day after I ordered it and looked brand new. Great customer service!
Lightning fast delivery, watch exactly as described, could not be happier! Thanks!!
Got a little confuse to buy an expensive watch online but gave them a try. I got a watch with exactly explained on websites and very fast services. answer all my phone calls and all my questions.
Amazing bought a 2013 looks brand new easy process!

I wired the money at 1pm and by 1pm the next day it was at my door. The watch was perfect, as described. Not a hidden scratch or blemish. I would definitely buy another watch from this site. Class act all the way, i called to ask the status of my order and they couldn't have been more accommodating.
Sold and bought from Bob's. Like the quick transaction times and no bs. Easiest way to find and buy the hard to find stainless models and pay a fair price. Definitely recommend to my friends !
The watch arrived less than 24 hours after purchase and couldn't look better. The sales team at Bob's were extremely helpful and a pleasure to do business with.
I have been looking for a Rolex Submariner for over a year now and no authorized Dealers can get them in. Bob had one that was only a year old and came with all paperwork and box. It was beautiful and in pristine condition and shipped overnight to my doorstep. Thank you so much!

Arsenal and Bayern Munich are set to square of in the first leg of their battle for a place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, and the fixture has special meaning to Jens Lehmann. The 44-year-old seized 61 caps for Germany, played for Schalke and Borussia Dortmund in his homeland, and made over 150 appearances for the Gunners, whom he helped win their last trophy in 2004.
Yet even two years after the end of his active career, Lehmann cannot take his eye off the ball and is taking part in the Match Against Poverty on 4 March alongside countless top stars. FIFA.com caught up with Lehman to discuss Bayern-Arsenal, his tips for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ and whether he still enjoys playing football.
FIFA.com: Jens, just like last year, Bayern and Arsenal are facing each other in the Champions League's Round of 16. Bayern got through that time. And this time?Jens Lehmann: It'll be closer. Bayern have the advantage of coming back stronger from the winter break, having less injuries and being even stronger than last year. But Arsenal are stronger too.
Your ex-clubs Dortmund and Schalke have drawn tough opponents in Zenit and Real Madrid...Dortmund would surely be happy to see some of their injured players back. I consider Dortmund the stronger team. Schalke against Real is an extremely attractive tie, but tough. You've got to make Madrid favourites there.
Argentina and Brazil are naturally the favourites. The Belgians could spring a surprise. Spain and Germany are currently the strongest teams in Europe.
You retired in 2011, but take the field again from time to time, for example in Michael Ballack's farewell game or at the beginning of March in the Match Against Poverty.How important are such charity games for you?Very important, because they allow me to support good causes.
Do you still have butterflies in your stomach when you step on the pitch?If good players are playing then I still enjoy playing. But it's tough, many of my contemporaries have stopped playing and are often in a state of physical decline. That's not so much fun *(laughs). * *
On a personal level, you're socially engaged with your project *Kicking Girls. What is it exactly?This is a project of the Laureus Foundation, which supports girls who do not have the possibility to play in football teams. In it they're generally trained by female coaches. The girls typically come from immigrant families, who are sometimes not happy with their daughters being trained by men. Laureus also supplies the initial equipment, which means they can play football like other girls.
You gained your coaching badges in England. What are your future plans?I did my courses in Wales and with Arsenal. I think I'll be going back into football soon. As a coach or a sporting director. There's nothing concrete yet.
With Brazil 2014 looming,what are your thoughts on Germany's opponents Portugal, Ghana and USA?A difficult group including two teams, USA and Ghana, who are tough to predict. It's won't be easy.
Will it be an advantage for USA that their coach Jurgen Klinsmann knows German football so well?
A clear advantage for the Americans and also a very interesting match-up.
What do you expect from the tournament in Brazil in general?That it'll be entertaining. Perhaps somebody, hopefully Germany, will succeed in breaking the South Americans' dominance on their home continent and win it. During the tournament we'll see how fit the individual teams are. Argentina and Brazil are naturally the favourites. The Belgians could spring a surprise. Spain and Germany are currently the strongest teams in Europe. It'd be good to see Germany in the Final.

Why Organic? Since their inception in 1989, Choice Organic Teas has questioned the quality of existing conventional teas produced with the aid of destructive synthetic chemicals. These chemicals devastate not only the soil used to cultivate tea (and any other food), but systematically destroy the surrounding ecosystem and the health of the very people who farm the land.White Classic White Peony Tea 6 Pack of 16 Tea Bags Each
It remains the goal of Choice Organic Teas to raise awareness across an industry dominated by conventionally cultivated tea to the benefits of sourcing of organic teas. They ask consumers to look for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic seal to ensure that your tea was grown and processed according to the National Organic Standards.White Classic White Peony Tea 6 Pack of 16 Tea Bags Each
Here are a few reasons why:
Improved soil fertility Toxic chemicals are bypassed, freeing soil from exposure to harmful herbicides and pesticides. Workers instead rely on substances such as compost, natural organic matter, and plants to provide the necessary ground cover and nutrients. Weeds and insects are controlled with traditional techniques such as crop rotation, mulching, and the encouragement of "beneficials" – such as extra, pest-controlling spiders. Organic soil also has far more earthworms and soil microbes. Studies show that healthy, live soil at an organic tea garden returns far higher crop yields per unit of energy and fertilizer expended than conventional farming methods. Diversity is healthy.White Classic White Peony Tea 6 Pack of 16 Tea Bags Each Better for wildlife Organic cultivation of tea is better for local wildlife. The Soil Association, an international organization for organic cultivation, notes that a typical organic field has five times as many wild plants, 57 percent more animal species, and 44 percent more birds than a conventionally cultivated farm. Conventional synthetic herbicides and pesticides often kill non-target animals, plants, and insects. The Times of India reported that at least 10 leopards and five elephants died between 1999 and 2001 due to leakage of pesticides from tea gardens in West Bengal. Certainly more have died since then. When mixed with other solvents, these pesticides exert a massive toxic effect on the environment for a long duration, affecting birds, animals and humans.White Classic White Peony Tea 6 Pack of 16 Tea Bags Each Safer for humans If organic farming is safer for wildlife, it is certainly safer for the workers in the tea gardens. On conventional tea estates, the health security for the workers is very low. According to Oxfam, a British non-profit agency working to put an end to poverty world-wide, the spraying of pesticides on tea estates is often done by untrained casual daily wage workers, sometimes even by children and adolescents, who are illiterate and cannot read the warnings on the containers. Many tea farmers spray their plants upwards of 15 to 20 times each year depending on pest infestations. Most of the chemicals they are using (such as - Aldrin 20E, Carbofuran 30, Endosulfan 35 EC, Malathion 50 EC, Tetradifon 8 EC, Calixin 80 EC) are listed as hazardous and toxic, and a number of them are banned in western countries. Despite the dangers of exposure to toxic materials, workers frequently are barefoot and in shorts rather than protected by recommended safety gear such as masks, gloves, rubber boots, and polythene aprons.White Classic White Peony Tea 6 Pack of 16 Tea Bags Each Choice Organic Teas response Ultimately, the decision to buy organic products is a choice you make for yourself. If you were to buy a conventional apple at the store, you'd be sure to wash it off before eating it. With tea, though, the first time you "wash" the leaves is when you brew the tea to drink it.White Classic White Peony Tea 6 Pack of 16 Tea Bags Each

Lucky Spirit
|False color view of shading differences between soil near the Spirit's location.

Luck, it has been said, favors the well prepared.
That explains, perhaps, the fortune of the plucky Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity — and their creators, including Cornell Professor Steve Squyres, scientific leader of the NASA mission, back on Earth.
To say June has been a good month for the Mars Expedition Rover (MER) team is — well, like saying getting to Mars is a bit of a hike. The mission has been, for the scientists and engineers who expected the rovers to explore the planet for 90 days, a remarkable 17-month adventure.
And it's not over. On June 4, Opportunity escaped from the sand trap now called Purgatory Dune. And last week Spirit, in Gusev crater on the opposite side of Mars, discovered a basaltic rock — valuable because its characteristics vary slightly from the rocks around it.
Opportunity's escape was a long-awaited thrill. The rover, which found itself unexpectedly mired in deep sand on Meridiani Planum on April 26, had been making slow, steady progress — turning its wheels 192 meters between May 13 and June 4. Each day, it gained a few centimeters.
And then, suddenly, it was free. "There was no ambiguity," said Squyres. "It was like night and day."

The news came in on the morning of June 4. "I knew instantly that we were out," said Cornell senior research associate Rob Sullivan, who with Jet Propulsion Laboratory mobility engineer Jeffrey Biesiadecki and a small group of scientists and engineers built a giant sandbox — filled with sand, clay, and material used to treat swimming pools — to simulate the conditions on Mars. ("We cleaned out hardware stores and at least one Home Depot for some of these materials," Sullivan said. "I think if people wanted to treat their pools that week, they were probably out of luck.")
Mindful that time spent in the dune was time lost from the mission, the team worked almost nonstop until Opportunity was free.
"We've had a feeling over the past several days that this was coming," Squyres wrote that evening. "Still, it's hard to describe how good it felt to check out the downlink and see all six wheels back on solid ground again. You develop pretty strong feelings for these vehicles once you've spent enough time with them, and when one of them gets into trouble you really sweat it until the trouble is over."
The following Tuesday found the black-cowboy-booted Squyres in his office in the Space Sciences Building, chatting easily with students between MER planning teleconferences.
"I don't think I realized how nervous I was about being stuck," he said. "Until we got unstuck."
With Opportunity now in the clear, its next assignment is to turn 180 degrees and examine the treacherous area with its sensing arm. Images of the dune sent back by the rover's panoramic camera, or Pancam, already indicate that all six wheels dug more deeply into the soil than any previous intentional wheel-trenching activity (in which only one wheel is used to dig a shallower hole). "There are these deep ruts, like little mini-canyons," said Jim Bell, Pancam team leader and Cornell professor of astronomy. Understanding their composition and origin will help the team spot and avoid similar traps as Opportunity picks up its journey toward Erebus crater.
|Opportunity found 'blueberry-like' concretions scattered across the Meridiani plains. Click image for larger view.

Just half a kilometer to the south, Erebus is another mystery. Unlike the dark, hematite-rich ground Opportunity has spent its time on so far, the crater looks intriguingly bright.
The brightness may be exposed bedrock, says Bell — or it may be something else entirely. "I would say bedrock is a good working hypothesis, but we haven't seen it up close," says Bell. "And whether it's the same kind of bedrock we've seen at Eagle crater (where Opportunity landed) and Endurance Crater (whose rim it explored last year), we don't know. We're just antsy to get there."
So far, both rovers have found strong evidence that Mars was once wet enough to support life. From Opportunity, the evidence has been orbs of hematite "blueberries" in Eagle crater and rippled patterns in bedrock; from Spirit it's been high chlorine, bromine and sulfur levels in the Columbia Hills.
And concern for Opportunity aside, no one is neglecting Spirit. The first rover launched crossed a symbolic milestone June 3, completing its 500th sol (a sol is a Martian day, which lasts 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds) at work on the planet.
Faithfully toiling in the Columbia Hills, Spirit had its own touch of luck last week.

For weeks Spirit has been doing meticulous strike and dip measurements, collecting data scientists need to work out a history of geologic events in the area. (Strike is the compass direction of a horizontal line on an inclined plane; dip is the angle of inclination measured from the horizontal.) The rover was about to set out on a complex drive south when its mini-thermal emission spectrometer (Mini-TES, which measures infrared radiation) caught a glimpse of the rock now called Backstay.
"Backstay was different than anything we saw before," said Squyres. "It's a loose rock, not bedrock, so maybe it was ejected from someplace farther away, or someplace deeper. The Mini-TES spectrum is nothing wildly exotic . . . the thing certainly seems to be some kind of basalt. But if it's a flavor of basalt we haven't seen before, then it's definitely worth a quick look."
As serendipity would have it, he added, the rover's drive that day took it to within four meters of the rock. "It was like we were meant to be there."
Over the next few days, Spirit used its Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT) to brush the rock clean for its Alpha particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS), which confirmed the basalt's different composition.
On Thursday night, as Spirit examined Backstay, planners sent the next sol's instructions up to Opportunity. It was their 1,000th uplink.
"For people who aren't on the project, that probably doesn't matter," said Squyres. "But it's what we do. And we've done it 1,000 times now, and that's a big deal."
"Actually," he added, "we're up to 1,003 now. It just keeps going."
Luck? Probably not. Luck, after all, only goes so far.
But then there's careful planning and persistence; dedication and flexibility.
And like jaunty black cowboy boots, those never go out of style.

Blaine Readler deliberately left his TV on as he headed out the door one night. "Cheap home security," he thought.
He figured that most burglars take the path of least resistance and avoid breaking into a home where a flickering TV usually signals that someone is home.
When he casually mentioned it in a conversation with fellow electrical engineer Rein Teder the next day, Teder set out to replicate the flickering with a computer program that did the same thing -- but with less energy usage and wear and tear on an expensive HDTV.
The resulting product from Hydreon Corp. in Eden Prairie is a cupcake-sized device that mimics the flickering scene changes, color shifts and on-screen motion of a television.
"I wanted FakeTV to be realistic but not more active than regular TV," Teder said. His inspiration to copy programming that's bright and active was the animated movie "The Incredibles."
"I really like the movie. It's bright, colorful and dynamic with lots of chase scenes and zam powie," he said. "It fit my purposes perfectly."
Residents also can get peace of mind with a security system, deadbolts and a guard dog, but Teder's device requires no professional installation or pooper scooper.
To operate the device, plug it in and place it near a window where the flickering can be seen, but not the unit. At dusk it begins silently flashing for two or four hours, depending on the chosen setting. With its LED bulbs, it uses no more energy than a night light, about 50 to 100 times less energy than a flat-screen TV.
Teder has sold more than 200,000 units since 2008, but in the past couple of years customers started asking for a brighter device to match today's larger, brighter flat-screens.
The just released FTV-11 device ($40) is three times brighter than the original. It simulates a 40-inch TV compared with the original model ($30), which replicates a 27-inch.
Ron from Columbus, Ohio, a FakeTV user who asked not to be identified by last name to keep burglars at bay, said he didn't have the money for a security system, which can cost $500 to $2,500 to install and $30 to $50 per month for monitoring.
Instead, he bought FakeTV two years ago and hasn't had a break-in since. "But I also have re inforced hinges and deadbolts and leave outside lights on to be safe," he said.
Cold weather also keeps some burglars at bay. Home break-ins increase during warmer months. "Residents start leaving windows and doors open, and more people are out of town on vacation," said Minneapolis Police Sgt. Stephen McCarty.
Rowena Holmes, a crime prevention specialist with the Minneapolis Police Department's Fourth Precinct, calls FakeTV a reasonable deterrent but said it shouldn't take the place of other actions. "Put several lights on timers and ask trusted neighbors to keep an eye out," she said.
The company doesn't claim that FakeTV will prevent burglaries. "We're careful not to ascribe magic powers to it," Teder said. "But we do hear from people who say their neighbors were robbed on each side of them and [the robbers] left their house alone."
To be on the safe side, the company has more burglary prevention tips at www.faketv.com.
The "research" that went into the product sounds like the ultimate project for any slacker inventor -- watching a lot of TV. But Teder wasn't viewing the screen as much as the reflection on the walls.
An electrical engineer, he said FakeTV is the easiest thing he's ever invented. He is the author of 23 patents, including rain-sensing windshield wipers, which sell about 10 million units per year.
For now, he's concentrating on growing sales of FakeTV, which have doubled in the past two years. The small company is staffed with engineers but no marketers. That leaves Teder to be the pitchman, including a short spot on QVC in 2008. "We sold over 1,000 in five minutes and I thought we were doing really well, but the people at QVC were saying, 'We've got to do a lot better than that,'?" Teder said.
Teder is leaving most of the marketing to his customers. "Referrals are still our biggest source," he said.

St. Paul, MN — The St. Paul (MN) City Council voted unanimously last month to allow 24-hour key-card clubs, such as Anytime Fitness and Snap Fitness, to operate without an employee present in the club at all times.
The city council made amendments to a city ordinance — originally put in place in 1989 to crack down on prostitution rings — which disallowed health clubs to be run without supervision. Some of the key amendments to the revised ordinance state that clubs must be on the ground level of commercial buildings, have surveillance systems and provide at least one automatic electronic defibrillator.
The council's vote has the support of St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman.
"We, of course, are pleased by the outcome," says Mark Daly, corporate spokesperson for Anytime Fitness. "We believed all along that Anytime Fitness clubs provide a safe and secure environment for our members and staff. Mayor Chris Coleman has been a strong advocate of convenient and affordable fitness clubs like Anytime Fitness for quite some time. Without his help, the new rules never would have been passed."
Anytime Fitness, Hastings, MN, had three clubs in St. Paul operating from about 5 a.m. to midnight, but those clubs were to resume operating 24 hours by the end of October, Daly says. Anytime Fitness plans to open three more clubs in St. Paul in the coming months, Daly adds.
Snap Fitness, Chanhassen, MN, plans to open its first three clubs in St. Paul under the ownership of franchisee Ben Cowan, who chose not to open the clubs until the ordinance was changed.
"We're thrilled that the council voted in favor of allowing 24/7 fitness clubs to operate in St. Paul," says Snap Fitness corporate spokesperson Patrick Strait. "We understand the reasons for why it took as long as it did, but the fact of the matter is that times and technology have changed. Our local franchise owner in St. Paul, Ben Cowan, has worked hard to make this a reality, and we commend his efforts and look forward to supporting his success in St. Paul moving forward."

Tree Planting Experience in Konso
The Konso Development Association (KDA) is working with the local community to rehabilitate degraded lands in the Gersale village. The community-based nursery raises a range of tree seedlings while soil and water conservation activities lay the groundwork for reviving an ecosystem in otherwise harsh conditions. After touring the nursery, participating tourists will be able to plant their seedlings in a nearby degraded area and the ceremony will be blessed by a local elder. To ensure sustainability, part of the travelers' contribution goes towards hiring community members to regularly water and care for the seedlings. Name tags with the name of the donor and date of the planting will be made to commemorate the donation and hung in the nursery.
Tourists wishing to visit Konso and plant a tree in Gersale village can book a tour through a participating tour operator. To learn more download the Konso Traveler's Philanthropy brochure and visit the Konso destination page.
About KDA
KDA was founded in 2000 as a response to the natural and socio-economic problems at the root of the region's pervasive poverty. KDA is a community-based development organization that facilitates work to sustainably improve the living conditions of the people in the region.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - Members of the Little Giant football team defended their FedEx charity plane pull title Saturday morning at Indianapolis International Airport.
Twenty members of the football team grabbed a tethered line and pulled the 145,000-pound FedEx jet 12 feet in 6.7 seconds.
But the real winners of the day were Special Olympic athletes who will benefit from the fundraiser. More than 30 teams raised a minimum of $1,000 each to participate in the plane pull.
The teams, most from the Indianapolis metropolitan area, combined to raise $51,000 for Indiana Special Olympics.
The Wabash athletes danced with other teams, shook hands with U.S. Army soldiers passing through the international terminal on their way home, and interacted with a few of the Special Olympic athletes prior to taking the tarmac.
The Little Giant guys had a good time and were pleased to claim their second straight win, but were a bit disappointed when they couldn't duplicate their record-setting time of just over 5 seconds a year ago.
But with stifling heat and humidity, as the attached photo album will show, they did have fun.

Valerie Harper Makes Press Rounds Talking On Her NBC Special And Dancing With The Stars (Videos, Audio)
"I'm going to live now." ~Valerie Harper
Lots on Valerie Harper to share!! She talked with Access Hollywood today and her special on NBC tonight, her cancer, and Dancing With The Stars. She just radiates something so special, doesn't she?! Betty White has some special things to say about her too.
Valerie also talked with Nash FN 94.7. Special thanks to PureDWTS and Pure Derek Hough reader Abby for sending us this special interview.
Lastly, Valerie talked with KSEE24. I love how positive her husband is too and how he won't let her give up. Valerie also remarks on how much she loves the cast of Dancing With The Stars. She says they remind of a "chorus dressing room" she was once a part of. Lots more below….
ETA: Here she is on Extra as well….
