Their Manchester rivals look set to claim the title with plenty of time to spare, thanks in no small part to faltering performances from Roberto Mancini's men. They did not fare much better in Europe either, finishing bottom of their Champions League group and not picking up a single victory.
City's summer transfer dealings left a lot to be desired, too. Jack Rodwell, Maicon, Javi Garcia and Scott Sinclair have all struggled to nail down a place in the starting line-up, or even on the bench. Joleon Lescott, meanwhile, has fallen well down Mancini's pecking order.
Of course, the season has not been a total write-off. City are staging something of a late-season surge as they aim to capture the FA Cup for the second time in three years.
And there have been individual plus points; Kompany, Silva, Toure and Aguero have still contributed in spells, while Kolo Toure has proved a capable stand-in at centre-back and Costel Pantilimon has played every game on the way to a Wembley final against Wigan.
The improved Gael Clichy and James Milner are also worthy of a mention, but the three men below have been chosen by Goal.com as Manchester City's best players this season. Do you agree? Leave a comment at the bottom to let us know your thoughts.
Carlos Tevez has been a divisive figure since moving to England in 2006, and he has certainly been no different at the Etihad Stadium. Last season he was famously sent to the peripheries after refusing to warm up against Bayern Munich, but this year he is back in the City ranks and has been one of their most impressive performers.
He directly contributed seven goals in his first four Premier League games, but was subsequently shuffled around the forward line as Mancini tried to identify his preferred set-up. One week he would lead the line in a 4-2-3-1, next he would play behind the central striker in the same formation, then he would partner somebody (Aguero, Mario Balotelli or Edin Dzeko) in a 4-4-2. He would often be moved around mid-game if City moved to a three-man defence.
Despite the upheaval and poor performances by players around him, he has still contributed 11 league goals and 12 assists. A steady return considering City's often conflicted approach.
He may not be at his most spectacular, but his work-rate, drive and ability on the ball are still there, and as he proved against Wigan, he still has the quality to win a match with a moment of brilliance.
Nastasic is no stranger to a baptism of fire. In his first start for Fiorentina he came up against AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and after an impressive season in Italy he was snapped up by Manchester City.
The Premier League champions' summer transfer dealings were largely disastrous, but the acquisition of Nastasic stands out as a great piece of business.
Mancini has no doubts about the ability and nerve of the youngster, and handed the then-19-year-old his City debut against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. Since then, he has gone on to establish himself as Kompany's first-choice partner in the centre of defence, relegating the experienced duo of Lescott and Toure in the process.
Despite his young age he has proved a cornerstone of the City backline, even as Mancini flirted with a three-man defence. He has shown his ability to read the game and bring the ball out of the back on numerous occasions, and has kept many a striker in his back pocket. In a turbulent season at Eastlands, the young Serb has certainly been a bright spot.
The Argentine right-back has proved to be a fan favourite at Manchester City over the years, but has taken his performances to another level this season.
Zabaleta, who has been known to watch City's reserve and youth matches with fans, has had to carry the can at right-back this season due to Micah Richards' injury, and has also stood in as captain in Kompany's absence.
Not only that, but he has played centre-back and left-back on occasions, and has not looked out of place.
He has not been fazed by any of the challenges in front of him and he has driven his side forward from the back. His attacking play has improved significantly and he remains the defensive rock he has always been, and could indeed lay claim to being the best right-back in the league.

So, BlackBerry has just announced it's exciting the consumer market, focussing on the enterprise instead. Worse yet, it's cutting 4500 jobs, half its workforce, which is a statistic for us, but a disaster for those involved.
The company sold just 3.7 million smartphones in the second quarter, most of which ran the older BlackBerry 7 operating system instead of the new BlackBerry 10. This means the Z10 and Q10 have been unmitigated flops. Hardly surprising though - even random people such as myself knew BB10 was going to be a hard, if not impossible, sell.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
If you are focusing on enterprise and prosumer? Then its implied that what is not named is what is being tossed. After all if you are focusing on a niche that means you are not selling broadly hence why its called focusing.
Frankly stick a fork, BB is done. As others have noted we only seem to have room for 2 players in a given market when it comes to OSes, one open and one closed. Servers? Linux and Windows. Mobile? Apple and Google, desktop? Apple and MSFT. In each case one is "open" or at least open enough for Joe Average and the other is closed.
Like Palm the problem BB had was fear, they were so afraid of rocking the boat that they stuck with what had worked in the past until the market had passed them by. You look at the same PHBs that always had to have their Crackberry and now they have iPhones and Galaxy IIs, the market changed and BB didn't try to stay ahead and ended up trying to play catch up which is the way to kill a company, just ask MSFT about WinPhone.

Pretty bitches are just as picky and superficial about men as you've always assumed: According to University of Texas psychology researcher David Buss, women "gauge what they can get [from men] based on what they got," in terms of attractiveness. Buss's study, titled "Attractive Women Want It All," says that women, regardless of looks, want four things from a long-term relationship: good looks, economic resources, nascent parenting skills, and loyalty and devotion. If a woman believes she is especially beautiful, she'll retain high standards in all of these areas, but if a woman considers herself mediocre looking, she'll relax her expectations. Buss' study adds that even a really hot woman will lower her standards if she's having trouble finding the perfect mate, which might explain another study that's getting play in the press today. Research from the University of Tennessee shows that women are happier with men who are uglier than they are.
The Tennessee study tested 82 couples for facial attractiveness and how they felt about their marriages. While women who were better-looking than their spouses reported contentedness, according to Univeristy of Tennessee professor Jim McNulty, men who were more attractive than their mates "demonstrated a tendency to offer less emotional and practical support to their wives." McNulty addsthat there is an "evolutionary explanation" for this behavior: "Attractive men have available to them more short-term mating opportunities. This may make them less satisfied and less committed to the marital relationship." Finally, a scientific explanation for the Katherine Heigl's choice to stay with Seth Rogen in Knocked Up!.

About Croatia
A charming seaside country with a lovely Old World atmosphere, Croatia was once the best kept secret in Europe. Sharing the same jewel-like coastline and classic history with its neighbor, Italy, Croatia was a lesser known but equally appealing destination. Today, Croatia's charms are more universally acknowledged and tourism is a major industry. Fortunately, Croatia remains as refreshingly low-key and charming as always. It is a wonderful place for a romantic getaway, a beach vacation, or an off-the-beaten-track cultural tour.
For many vacationers, Croatia's Adriatic coast is the country's biggest draw. Catering to any budget, from backpackers to luxury travelers, this pristine stretch of the Mediterranean is popular with people from across the world. Along the coast, sunbathing and swimming are definitely the most popular activities. However, Croatian beaches offer a range of recreational activities, including boating, fishing, and scuba diving.
With a unique central European atmosphere, Croatia gently blends relaxation with culture. Once a colony of the Roman and Austro-Hungarian empires, Croatia is filled with ancient ruins and architectural influences from its former rulers. The coast and countryside is dotted with small medieval cities, which can make charming daytrips or overnight destinations.
While traveling in Croatia, take time to explore the Balkan palette. Traditional Croatian food includes spicy sausage, seafood, mushrooms, berries, local cheese, and truffles. The country also produces excellent olives and olive oil.
A country of myriad pleasures, Croatia's most important sights include:
- Zagreb: Croatia's capital city has a lovely medieval downtown, Gornji Grad, plus wonderful dining and nightlife.
- Pula: There is an interesting ruin of a Roman amphitheater in this city on the Istrian peninsula.
- Plitvice: For some fresh air, visit the pine forests, crystalline lakes, and waterfalls in Plitvice National Park.
- Dubrovnik: Perched on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, this beautiful walled city is a United Nations World Heritage Site.
- Rovinj: On the Istrian peninsula near Italy, this romantic city has hints of Venice in its narrow streets and architecture.
- Brac Island: A Mecca for international sun-worshippers, Croatia's most famous beaches are located on the beautiful shores of Brac Island in the Aegean Sea.
- Hvar Town: This charming Medieval city is located on Hvar Island, a hot spot for luxury yachting.
Visiting Croatia can be a paradise in your own vacation rental overlooking the shores of the Mediterranean. Most Croatian rental homes are big enough to accommodate a large group or entire family. Compliment a beach vacation with a few days in Zagreb, staying at a private apartment or luxury condo near the historic downtown district. With space, privacy, and the chance to live in an authentic Balkan environment, the right vacation rental can make your trip to Croatia all the more memorable.

Anyone who has paid attention to LSU baseball and Skip Bertman knows how his coaching days ended. It was a 7-1 loss to Tulane in the third game of a 2001 NCAA super regional at jam-packed Zephyr Field in Metairie.
Not many know how it began: ironically, a 7-1 win at Southern Miss.
LSU played 1,203 games starting with Bertman's 1984 debut and ending with that loss to the Green Wave. His teams won 870 of those games, lost 330 and tied three for a .724 winning percentage.
But there were five games among those 1,203 that made it easy for a panel to vote him into the inaugural class of the College Baseball Hall of Fame:
- 1991: LSU 6, Wichita State 3.
- 1993: LSU 8, Wichita State 0.
- 1996: LSU 9, Miami 8.
- 1997: LSU 13, Alabama 6.
- 2000: LSU 6, Stanford 5.
College World Series championships all, they are games that elevated the Miami native, the former University of Miami catcher, the man who left his hometown with a wife and four daughters, the assistant coach who left an ultra-succcessful Miami program and in 2001 the soon-to-be LSU athletic director to legendary status in the game he said he loved so much.
Then-LSU Athletic Director Bob Brodhead admitted back in April 1983 that it took a lot of talking to convince Bertman that Baton Rouge and LSU were the right places and it was the right time to take a program from somewhere below also-ran status to the top of the college baseball world.
Bertman took over from Jack Lamabe, an ex-major league pitcher and former Jacksonville University coach. In 1979, he became LSU's first full-time baseball coach, but three years without commitments from the university left him hanging by a thread.
Brodhead had spent time with the Miami Dolphins and knew Bertman's reputation throughout South Florida, the years when he brought South Beach High to the top in the Florida's prep playoffs, then a stint in Miami's rec department, then as the top assistant under Ron Fraser at Miami.
"He was the right man. I knew he was. He needed help, and we knew that. But he knew that building a program was going to be on his shoulders," Brodhead said 10 years later, after he had been removed from his post.
His first recruiting class found out that learning "Bertman Ball" was one of their chores.
"He told us the stadium needed cleaning. It needed painting, so we'd practice one day in the fall, then spend the next day sweeping, cleaning up the locker room. And the next day we'd practice, then two days later we were painting," remembered pitcher Stan Loewer, who was in Bertman's first recruiting class.
The field was next and, by the next spring, Alex Box Stadium was brighter and shinier than the players remembered.
It was ready when the 2-0 Tigers opened with an 8-6 win over McNeese State. The crowd estimate? Maybe 400.
There were more people showing up when LSU finished 32-23 that season, but even more were there in 1985, when Bertman's team won the SEC Western Division title by beating out the vaunted Mississippi State team led by All-Americans and soon-to-be-major leaguers Will Clark, Rafael Palmiero and Jeff Brantley. For only the second time in school history (the first was 1975 under Jim Smith), the Tigers were selected for an NCAA tournament berth.
There was something else, too.
Back then, Bertman said he knew Louisiana had solid baseball talent, that he knew he could win with homegrown kids, but there had to be renewed interest in the sport. It had to be about more than football.
After a weekend series during those first five springs, Bertman gave the players off on Monday, then he and maybe one assistant coach took to the road. There was a coaching clinic in all corners of the state for 10 straight Mondays.
Even during the 1986 season and the 27-2 start in the year LSU reached the College World Series, the first year LSU was host to an NCAA regional, Bertman was on the road. Odd that it was Miami, his old team, that eliminated the Tigers from the CWS that year.
The 1987 regional in New Orleans got LSU a second straight spot in the CWS, but LSU was left out of the field in 1988. Then came 1989, when Bertman-coached Ben McDonald won the coveted Golden Spikes Award, and the trip to Texas A&M, the country's No. 1 team.
It wasn't hot in College Station that last weekend in May; it was boiling. LSU came back from a second-game loss to South Alabama to face the regional-unbeaten Aggies in the Sunday game for the CWS spot.
LSU's 13-5 win — A&M's sixth loss that season — forced a second game. Into the night the teams went until little-used third baseman Pat Garrity doubled off the right-field fence to drive in Craig Cala for a 5-4, extra-inning win.
LSU was back in the CWS — and back to stay for a long time. The Tigers' fifth trip turned into gold, capped by a 6-3 win over Wichita State ace Tyler Green, and then came appearances in 1993, '94, '96, '97, '98 and 2000 yielding for more titles.
"Those five championships in the span of 10 years is phenomenal," former Auburn coach Hal Baird said. "It was amazing how Skip kept sending great pitching staffs out there every year.
"There was (Mark) Guthrie, Loewer, (Clay) Parker, then (Eric) Hetzel, (Dan) Kite, McDonald and (Russ) Springer, then (Curtis) Leskanic, and (Chad) Ogea and (Paul) Byrd and (Mike) Sirotka, and (Rick) Greene and one of his who didn't make the majors, but was excellent, Lloyd Peever. I looked it up the other day, and Skip sent 40-something players in to the majors. And we had to play them.
"I'm fortunate to have lasted 15 years in the league."
Bertman's prowess flowed over into Team USA with a gold medal in the 1988 Olympics and a bronze four year later.
Bertman was on the field for the CWS's three most memorable plays: Warren Morris' last-of-the-ninth, two-out, two-run homer that beat Miami 9-8 in 1996; the 1982 play that has been known for years as the "Grand Illusion" when Bertman, the Miami assistant, master-minded a phantom pick-off play at first base that nailed an unsuspecting Phil Stephenson at second; and Paul Carey's bottom-of-the-10th grand slam off McDonald that gave Stanford a 6-5 victory and kept LSU, in all likelihood, from advancing to the title game.
Like all levels of baseball, the numbers tell most of the story: five national titles, seven SEC pennants, 11 CWS trips, six SEC tournament championships and nine 50-win seasons.
With Bertman starting the ball rolling, LSU is college baseball's all-time percentage leader in NCAA tournament wins: The team has a 127-49 record for a .722 winning percentage. Southern Cal is next at .715 with its 11 CWS titles.
When Bertman retired from the field in 2001, the road running next to Alex Box Stadium was renamed Skip Bertman Drive. On Friday night, the surface at the new Alex Box Stadium will become Skip Bertman Field.
From coach to administrator to fundraiser, what started with a 7-1 road victory at Southern Miss ended with LSU's baseball field named in his honor.

Yesterday, an eagle-eyed reporter at EE Times noticed an interesting job on offer at Microsoft in its BING Autopilot group. According to the job ad, Bing Autopilot is responsible for designing the infrastructure behind Microsoft's Bing search platform, and as part of its duties the group evaluates new technologies with solid state disk (SSD) and ARM processors specifically referenced. Microsoft looking at SSD technologies doesn't come as big surprise (if you aren't looking at SSD, you need to get with the program), but the mention of the ARM processor has certainly turned some heads.
In years past, Microsoft has been associated almost exclusively with the x86 server platform, yes there have been ports to other platforms (I've personally seen Windows on MIPS, Alpha, PowerPC, and CLIPPER) but they've all died a pretty rapid death with Itanium being the latest casualty. There has been speculation about Microsoft doing something with ARM going back at least a year but this is the first concrete indication of their interest, so the question has to be asked, what does Microsoft want ARM for?
If you look at how search engine infrastructure is built you can get a good idea. Search engines are invariably built on scale-out principles with hundreds or more likely thousands of individual servers working in concert to deliver search results. More interestingly, these servers tend to be relatively weak in terms of CPU power, they're not using 4-socket 128-thread monsters, for the most part it's cheap and cheerful two-socket servers with an emphasis on power efficiency and small form factor, which is where ARM comes in. ARM may not be fast compared to the latest Intel and AMD processors, but it's wickedly efficient in terms of power consumption which brings two benefits:
- Reduced power consumption/node: if your processor operates at 10 watts instead of 50 watts, that's a large potential saving.
- Smaller form factors: low power requirements translate to small power supplies and passive cooling both of which help designers to pack more servers in given amount of data center real estate.
What Microsoft no doubt wants to know is whether using ARM in the servers that power Bing would allow them to maintain or increase performance within a given data center power foot print. For example, if ARM enables Bing to process 10% more search requests for the same amount of power, then that's a potentially big win.
As a footnote, if you're getting excited about the possibility of Windows running on an ARM-based netbook, don't hold your breath. First, we know next to nothing about the underlying software for Bing, the OS platform may not be Windows at all, it could be a kernel specifically designed to support search operations, or horror of horrors it might even be LINUX ;-) Second, even if it is Windows underneath Bing, there's no guarantee that work done to support Bing would ever make it outside Microsoft data centers.

Beeman Trophy matchups: Edge, LancersBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 03. 2013 11:50PM
Although both Pinkerton Academy and Londonderry High want possession of the Beeman Trophy, the award has some growing to do before it has the same notoriety as the Mack Plaque. The proof:
When Pinkerton baseball coach Steve Campo asked one of his players how big a deal the Beeman Trophy is Friday, Campo received no response. Just a blank stare.
And when Cassidy Litch, the third baseman on Londonderry's softball team, was asked if she knew anything about the Beeman Trophy, she shook her head from side to side.
The Beeman Trophy is awarded to either Londonderry or Pinkerton each year, depending on which school wins the most spring sporting events against the other. The schools' athletic teams battle for the Mack Plaque in the fall, and the Ball Trophy during the winter.
"The Mack Plaque is historic," Londonderry softball coach Wayne MacDougall said. "The others just have a few years of tradition."
It was advantage Londonderry on Friday, as the Lancers beat the Astros 12-4 in softball and 4-1 in baseball.
"The fall is special because all of the (athletic) events are in one (weekend)," Pinkerton athletic director Tim Powers said. "It's hard to match that atmosphere in the winter or the spring."
The Londonderry baseball team capped a 3-0 week with its 4-1 triumph, which raised the team's Division I record to 8-3.
Tom Corey pitched the first six innings to collect the win. Ryan Moloney came on in the seventh to collect the save, his second to go with three wins.
The Lancers trailed 1-0 after two innings, but scored three runs in the third and one in the fifth. Brett Evangelista had two of Londonderry's six hits.
Pinkerton, which dropped to 3-8, left nine runners on base.
"We're just not getting the big hit that could bust a game open," Campo said.
Litch, a junior, was among the stars for the Londonderry softball team Friday. She drove in four runs to help the Lancers raise their Division I record to 6-4. Londonderry softball also completed a 3-0 week.
Lauren Reinhold scored four runs for Londonderry. The Lancers received a complete-game pitching performance from Leah Hunt, who held the Astros to seven hits.
Sam Hennequin drove in two runs for Pinkerton, which did all of its scoring in the third inning. The loss dropped the Astros to 4-6.
The teams also competed in track, unified track, tennis and boys' volleyball this spring. The winner of the Beeman Trophy will be determined by the results of boys' and girls' lacrosse.
"I knew we were playing for something," Litch said. "I just hadn't heard of the name.
"There's definitely some extra satisfaction when you beat Pinkerton."

Gene Simmons (born Chaim Weitz Hebrew: חיים ויץ; August 25, 1949) is an Israeli-American rock bassist, singer, songwriter, musician, actor, and businessman. Known as "The Demon", he is the bassist/vocalist of Kiss, a hard rock band he co-founded in the early 1970s.
Simmons was ranked number 12 in Roadrunner's list of 50 Best Frontmen in Metal History.
Chaim Weitz (later Gene Simmons) was born at the Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Israel in 1949. Mother and children emigrated to Jackson Heights, Queens in New York City when he was eight years old. His mother Flóra Klein (formerly Kovács) was born in Jánd, Hungary. The German name Klein (means: small) is sometimes used informally in Hungarian as Kiss, that gave the rock band's name. Florence and her brother, Larry Klein, were the only members of the family to survive the Holocaust. Simmons' father, Feri Witz, also Hungarian-born, remained in Israel. Simmons says the family was "dirt poor," scraping by on bread and milk. In the United States, Simmons changed his name to Eugene Klein (later Gene Klein), adopting his mother's maiden name. He attended Yeshiva Torah Vodaath in Williamsburg, Brooklyn as a child, from 7 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

For all the talk of the Fire's possession problems, you wouldn't have known it in the first 20 minutes of Wednesday night's game in Toronto. The Alex/Jeff Larentowicz partnership hummed along like it did during the squad's hottest streak this year, a fresh looking Patrick Nyarko did his havoc-creating thing, and it all culminated with a deserved goal.
Of course, at the final whistle it was obviously a shame they didn't get one or two more during that period. But that's what this Fire does. They pull off the tough results and tend to drop the seemingly easier ones. Even on short rest, away from home (where they've struggled all year), Toronto was the perfect opponent.
And in the first 20 minutes, the Fire pretty much had their way with the ball and the field, pressing hard to win it up field, running off each other -- it was yummy. It's hard to pick one sequence but there was one down the right side in the 15th minute I loved. The Fire won the ball and played a couple fast one-touch passes before Nyarko just missed Chris Rolfe, wide open past midfield. It didn't come off, but just look at the wide open spaces in TFC's team shape.
TFC started bad. Really bad. They misplaced more balls than a dog with amnesia and the Fire took all the space they wanted. It was a veritable buffet for Rolfe, Dilly Duka, and Mike Magee, enjoying constant service from midfield as well as the enterprising Gonzalo Segares.
TFC's goal shouldn't have been the last goal of the game but it was and thankfully other results held up so the Fire are still in perfectly okay position for the playoffs. They need to pick up points down the stretch, yeah, but they're all of one point out of fifth with seven games to play. I still don't understand the doomsayers calling the season off already.
If the 14th minute, free-flowing Fire example showed everything this team can be when it flows right, Quincy Amarikwa's 78th minute chance showed what's sometimes dispiriting about them. They let points get away from them.
Off a TFC attack, Magee got the ball in his own half and turned through the midfield to play Rolfe, who spotted Amirakwa's dash inside. It was a great run because he timed it later than Juan Luis Anangono's, which was a bit too early so his defender could recover before Pause pushed close enough to goal.
Amarikwa's run came directly in front of his defender, giving Pause the angle and target he needed, and Quincy was in. He had the choice of laying off for Anangono, who was beyond the goalie and just a simple touch away from giving the Fire the lead, but he went himself. Against his own team, in on goal, Amarikwa went himself and shot right at TFC keeper Joe Bendik. Anangono (and Fire fans) were furious.
It's not outrageous for a striker in that position to go himself; actually, it's probably the right thing to do versus risk an extra pass. But it was a moment the Fire couldn't quite grasp, the kind of moment they'll need to in the next seven games if they're to keep their season going into the playoffs.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Adequate for the job.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
i keep this as a backup, or if anyone doesnt have a harness. im 6'2 and it doesnt fit super well. i think its built for a much shorter person. but it gets the job done.
Fits everyone I chose to drag along. Simple stout
Not well designed, but adequate
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I like and trust 99% of BD products. I like this harness because it's a one-size fits all, has cool colors and is secure, but this is NOT a well designed, comfortable harness. The leg loops are WAY TOO close to the waist strap. Compare this with most other harnesses, BD or others. Look at how much more space between waist strap and leg straps exist on those. The Vario is too compressed and it feels it when you wear it. For this reason, this will be a harness for smaller people when I have no other harness available.
Great Harness
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this harness to use in a treestand for hunting. It has been ten times better than any harness that you could purchase in the hunting industry. I love taking products like this and crossing them over into the hunting side of things!
Trusted on Rianier
All my climbing team used this excellent, lightweight harness.
Good Backup or Guest Harness
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fits virtually anyone, quality components. Not very comfortable for extended climbing sessions. Solid construction and will last a long time. Great addition to a canyoneering/rappelling kit. I keep it around for non-climber friends to use when I take them top-roping.
Vario Speed Harness
Strong but uncomforable
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Not built for extended wear. I'd only use it when I had to. Purchased for a zipline switched it out for a padded climbing harness.
great for groups
This harness is simple, easy to inspect, and well built. I feel confident handing this out for rental because I know the novice climber cannot go wrong with it. It fits pretty much all sizes except the jolly green giant. and it's cheap. I wouldn't buy for my personal harness but if you needed to buy a harness or 2 for a group, this is the way to go.
suesca colombia
someone give that man a little bit of slack in the rope....
for the love of god.......
Good Harness at a Great Price
I received my certification with a Swiss-seat (or Swiss nut cruncher) and have used many tactical and rescue orientated harnesses. I also have a Petzl that I use at the gym that I go to. This Black Diamond is built to high standards just like all the other Black Diamond products Ive seen & used. The Quality is top notch and the buckles are smooth and feel secure. I have had no noticeable slippage from the straps. The webbing is wide enough that I dont feel any cutting around my sides or my legs. The buckles are self locking so you dont need to double them back on themselves. The tie in point or clip in Point is large, easy to get to and reinforced. This harness is perfect if you are SWAT, SRT, or some sort of first responder and or rescue person. It will also work well in your local gym or climbing wall center. If you are looking for top of the line rescue equipment, or doing outdoor rock climbing then this is not for you, but if you want a light weight, short hang time, comfortable well build harness that is at a great price, then this might be perfect for you.
GREAT for groups
I love these harnesses for taking out groups. I bought five and I'll probably buy five more. The speed buckle system is great and they are morecomfortable and easier to put on than any other universal fit harnes that I've tried or owned.
No rise
This harness looked promising for mountaineering; the wide webbing looked more comfy than the alpine bod. I figured that with the tie in point as part of the waist belt would make it easier to go pee without removing the harness or fighting with the belay loop as I do with my regular harness (I use a freshette and sometimes the harness combined with clothing layers makes it challenging to use).
Unfortunately, the rise on this harness is practically non-existent so I returned it. Also, there is no way to undo the pre-threaded buckles so you always have to step into the harness.
Great for Introducing New Climbers
The harness really has one function. It is to introduce new folks to the sports of climbing, rappelling, etc. As I don't run a climbing school or anything like that, I needed a single harness that would fit a wide variety of individuals with little to know climbing experience. This harnesses has a wide adjustment range and a single tie-in point which makes it the best for that application. If I introduce someone to the sport who wants to take it up a notch, I point them towards other harnesses. Of course, I trust BD with my life and this harness has lived up to BD expectations thus far.
The Best Harness for the beginner. Love it
Recommended, for Sure!
I am always taking groups from 10 to 30 rock climbing and rappelling. More than half of those are usually beginners. I have been looking for a harness that would fit many sizes and would be easy to use; but of course, the most important things are dependability and safety. The Vario Speed Harness is exactly all those things. It's everything I have always wanted and more. And it looks pretty cool too.

Hello Alan,
This harness is designed as a workhorse climbing harness for institutional settings and climbing gyms. It is UIAA certified, check out more info about that process: http://www.theuiaa.org/commissions_safety.html.

I am wondering whether this would be a good 1st harness for somebody just starting out to sport climb? Thanks.
Bala,I assume your looking for a mens harness??? This harness is more suited for students or gyms where the basics are being focused on, or for top roping. Sport climbing requires gear loops for your draws. I recommend the B.D. Momentum harness, its for the guys, comparable in price and has what you need, link is below. Keep in mind, climbing harnesses are alot like climbing shoes, size them appropriately. You may want to visit a local retailer that sells harnesses to make sure you get the correct fit, and please remember that hangers are not for fingers...My climbing team at school had these for years, for god's sake please don't inflict them on anyone else. They are unbelievably uncomfortable and get tangled all the time. I'm not sure why James assumed you were looking for a men's harness, but if you are, get the Momentum or Momentum AL (Adjustable Leg). If it's for a woman, the Primrose AL. There really is no good reason, in my opinion, to buy this harness ever.www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0289/Black-Diamond-Momentum-AL-Climbing-Harness.html
"They are unbelievably uncomfortable and get tangled all the time"
I second this.
They use these in my gym and I also hate them, but they last forever (figure of speech) and that's why my gym and your climbing team has used them for years and years.

Redwood Falls City Administrator Keith Muetzel was named interim Redwood Area Hospital CEO during a closed-door session of the city council Tuesday evening.
Redwood Falls City Administrator Keith Muetzel was named interim Redwood Area Hospital CEO during a closed-door session of the city council Tuesday evening. Hospital CEO Jim Schulte was placed on unpaid administrative leave by the city on May 3 after the city received information alleging Schulte may have received inappropriate travel expense reimbursements from the hospital. While the matter is being investigated, day-to-day hospital business must continue, said Muetzel at Tuesday's scheduled city council meeting. Since it was a personnel matter, state law required the council to discuss solutions in a closed door setting. Once the meeting was opened up to the public again, the council took action naming Muetzel interim hospital CEO. "I can't stress the 'interim' enough," both Mayor Gary Revier and Muetzel stated at different times. For the forseeable future, most hospital department heads will report to Muetzel. The exceptions — except the human resources department head, and the hospital's chief financial officer — will report to the city's finance director, Missi Meyer. In other city news, the council: • Approved a $2,598,800 bid from Robert L. Carr Company for the Redwood Falls powerhouse repair project. • Approved a $1,059,442 bid to Underground Piercing to integrate the upcoming east electrical substation with the rest of the grid. • Approved a $743,007 bid from Schmidt Construction to handle the 2012 infrastructure improvements set for Morten, Schmahl and 11th Streets this summer. • Approved a $15,000 low interest loan and a $15,000 grant to Sue Tholkes to assist in the renovation of the commercial building at 132 E. 2nd St. The renovation project consists of replacement of the windows, air exchanger, duct work, ceiling, and floors. • Approved the hiring of Sheila Stage as the city's new human resources coordinator. • Approved a waiver to allow the farmer's market to set up a sign on city property at the corner of Washington St. and Highway 19/71. • Set Tuesday, June 5 at 5 p.m. for a public hearing about a company, Ponderosa Properties, LLC, asking for a city tax abatement on properties it proposes to buy in the Ponderosa business park. • Approved a $6,250 agreement with Interpoll Laboratories for emission compliance testing for the public utilities.

Studio 6AMarch 2008 Action, sculpture, photography, video, installationAlmut Linde´s practice investigates the formative processes of social systems and how they affect the individual´s ability to act within such systems. By carrying out actions in tightly controlled social systems (e.g. the military, a psychic ward, a factory), Linde extracts significant forms from local knowledge. She uses individual deviations from the intended discourse to expose the systems´ rigidity, and at the same time show individuality, which is the basis for the elements social systems are made of. For her work Dirty Minimal #33.7 Military Order to Attend Art Lecture, Linde held a lecture to which military staffs were ordered to attend which lead to a body of participatory works with the military. Linde developed her practice working in observation spaces which are usually considered failures, or, at best, disturbances. By paying attention to unexpected results, she extracts forms which facilitate new perceptions. In the collective Linde Ludeña Sierra she initiated the practice of working independently within a common field and she has since expanded this practice to working with non-artists.
Recent exhibitions include Nunnery Gallery, London (GB), and the Brno House of Arts, Brno (CZ). Upcoming exhibitions include Hamburger Kunsthalle, (D), and the National Gallery, Prague (CZ). Almut Linde has been awarded first price of Stiftung Kunstfonds: the HAP-Grieshaber prize 2008 from the VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn.

http://trends.newsforge.com/article..../10/21/1251200After roughly 12 years of work, the Wine Project is about to take its widely used Windows translation layer to a place it has not been in all that time: beta.
Wine Project leader Alexandre Julliard, who has worked on the software nearly since its beginning in 1993 and maintained it since 1994, said interview yesterday that the beta release is "a matter of days away." He has since updated that forecast and said it would be released on Tuesday, October 25th.
Jeremy White, Codeweavers founder and a "big booster" of Wine, said the beta release of the software is a watershed event because in addition to user apprehensiveness toward an alpha release, a lack of consistency in the software's function also turned people off. And while Wine, or some form of it, has become common across the Linux universe, 11 years as an alpha is a long time.
"Wine has historically had a very frustrating history because it has been alpha software," White said. "This is really hard work. We're replicating the work of a billion-dollar company. The reason we're saying it's alpha is because we believe we still have fundamental changes to make on the way the internals work."
Noting that it has not always been easy to install software with Wine's alpha releases over the last decade, White said that once you got something working it has never meant it would continue to do so, or do so properly. There may have been display glitches or things not functioning properly, if a program even worked with Wine at all.
Days after the release of Wine version 0.9, White said the release signaled that the developers were reaching a point where the software was where it needs to be and that users could have a "reasonably decent experience.
"It's not going to be perfect," White said. "But it will only get better from here -- which it hasn't consistently done."
After discovering Wine in 1998, White rebuilt Codeweavers to work on Wine and build its proprietary software off of it. All of the work they do is poured directly back into the Wine project, including that of Julliard, who works for Codeweavers.

MaryAnne Brown has worked at Niagara University since 1996. During that time, she has participated in the university's employee Day of Service every year that it's been offered.
"I love to volunteer and perform community service because it's so rewarding," said Brown, while dishing out sundaes to patrons of the Heart, Love and Soul food pantry in downtown Niagara Falls. "It gives me a really good feeling after I've done it, so I'm here to help others. But they also help me."
Jason Jakubowski, on the other hand, joined the NU community 36 days ago. The assistant dean/director of residence life spent much of his Thursday cleaning, organizing and setting up the dining area at Community Missions on Buffalo Avenue. Jakubowski's actions speak loudly, but his words also illustrate his embracement of the Catholic and Vincentian mission of his new employer.
"Oftentimes, we are so busy with our careers that we don't take the opportunity to serve the community. This falls right in line with what we do as a Vincentian university," Jakubowski said. "This is a very special day. It's a great opportunity for us to get out and really help others. It's also an opportunity for us to become more self-reflective and certainly be grateful for what we have and what we're able to do for others."
The action of helping others is the pillar of the university's Day of Service, an initiative that reflects Niagara's continuous commitment to serving the less fortunate members of the community.
More than 120 NU staff and faculty members participated this year, lending hands to 23 nonprofit organizations in the Buffalo-Niagara area.
Participating employees assembled at 8:30 a.m. in Clet Dining Hall on Niagara University's campus, where they were treated to light refreshments before dispersing throughout the region to assist organizations with lesser human and capital resources. The participants returned to campus at 1:30 p.m. for an appreciation luncheon.
Institutions assisted by NU employees during today's Day of Service included the Aquarium of Niagara; Canine Helpers for the Handicapped; Carolyn's House; Community Missions of the Niagara Frontier; the Dale Association; the Food Bank of WNY; the Francis Center; the Girl Scouts of Western New York; Heart, Love and Soul; The Magdalene Project; Meals on Wheels; the Mental Health Association in Niagara County; Neighborhood Legal Services Inc.; the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center; the Niagara and Erie County SPCAs; the Niagara Falls Family YMCA; Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center; the Niagara Falls Police Department; Niagara Rehabilitation and Nursing Center; Opportunities Unlimited of Niagara; ReNU Niagara; and the Schoellkopf Health Center.

10 abuse charges could add up to long prison term for Justin RoyBy LARISSA MULKERN
Union Leader Correspondent
February 12. 2013 8:02PM
OSSIPEE - The Albany man recently convicted on charges related to the near-fatal beating of a young boy will be sentenced in April.
Carroll County Attorney Robin Gordon confirmed on Tuesday that the defendant, Justin Roy, 34, would face Carroll County Superior Court Judge Steven Houran on April 2 at 9 a.m. for sentencing.
A jury of seven men and five women found Roy guilty on Feb. 4 on all 10 charges related to the Dec. 19, 2011, severe beating of a two-and-half year old boy and lesser assault charges on his 7-year-old and 11-month old brothers.
The jury deliberated at Carroll County Superior Court for about two and a half hours before returning the verdicts before Associate Justice Houran. Deputy County Attorney Susan Boone prosecuted the case. Defense attorneys Wade Harwood and Howard Clayman of the NH Public Defender's office in Laconia represented Roy during the seven-day trial. Roy, 34, of Albany, is being held at Carroll County Jail until sentencing.
He was convicted on 10 charges, including first-degree assault, two counts of kidnapping, three counts of second-degree assault, one count of criminal restraint, one count of simple assault two counts of simple assault.
Gordon said Roy faces "considerable" jail sentence. Since the charges involve a young child, Roy could face an extended sentence of up to a 20-year jail term on each count. Houran had ordered a pre-sentencing investigation prior to sentencing.
The prosecution presented evidence that Roy took the boy, Strider Downs Skidgel, to a shed in the middle of the night on Dec. 19, 2011, and caused life-threatening injuries to his abdomen. Strider, his mother, Heather Downs, 33, and his two brothers, Zander, age 7 and Gallagher, 11 months, lived with Roy in the Golden Oaks mobile home park for about two months until the morning of the attacks. Strider, whom doctors testified almost died, survived three surgeries, several weeks in the hospital, and has since regained his health in the care of other relatives. The defense argued that the state's evidence was circumstantial; that key witness testimony from the boys' mother was unreliable, and claimed that it was she who hurt Strider.
Downs, who was charged with four counts of endangering the welfare of a child and one count of felony witness tampering, was offered immunity for her testimony in the Roy trial. Gordon said Downs still faces a trial on the charges and that as of Tuesday, there has been no decision to drop the complaints.

A little premature, but...
President Obama's Nobel Peace prize seems a little premature for a man who has held office for less than a year.
The committee that awarded the prize cited his efforts to encourage the use of diplomacy to solve conflicts between nations, both in his brief tenure as president and in his writings prior to his election.
Some cynics have suggested it was awarded because he wasn't George Bush, whose heavy handed "our way or the highway" approach to foreign policy had angered many of America's allies, let alone its enemies. They've seen Obama's presidency as a breath of fresh air on the world scene, and for that, we guess the award does have some merit. Some.
In looking at the 90 previous peace prize winners one salient feature stood out. Almost none of them had ever actually accomplished their goals of achieving peace.
The most recent peace prize award that seemed to have shown success was in 1999, when the Doctors Without Borders organization was honored, and in 1998 when the two main negotiators, John Hume and David Trimble, had brokered a peace that seems to have lasted in Northern Ireland. Teddy Roosevelt won it in 1905 for mediating the peace treaty that ended the war between Russia and Japan.
In 1993, Fredrik de Klerk and Nelson Mandela won it for ending apartheid in South Africa, and in 1978, Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin won it for ending decades of war with a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
But more commonly, the award has gone to individuals or groups as a way of focusing the world's attention on problems, such as the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (1997) or Amnesty International (1977). But in those cases the goals of those groups clearly have not be achieved.
And there are even stranger winners of the award. In 1973, Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho won it for ending the war in Vietnam, which actually ended in 1975 with the few remaining U.S. troops fleeing before the advancing North Vietnamese armies that had crushed the South Vietnamese forces we'd virtually abandoned.
In 1926, Aristide Briand was one of the prize's winners, for helping negotiate the Briand-Kellogg Pact, an international agreement that outlawed war. Obviously, that agreement was less than successful.
Two other presidents have won the award, Jimmy Carter, largely for his work after he left office, and Woodrow Wilson, for his efforts to form the League of Nations, which the United States did not join and which failed miserably in its efforts to outlaw war.
In fact, failure of the goals of the winners has been the norm, rather than the exceptions. We can only hope that, even if it was premature, that Obama manages to buck the trend and eventually earn it.

CARRABASSETT VALLEY — Frozen pipes and a broken sprinkler head temporarily forced guests out of the Grand Summit Hotel at Sugarloaf on Sunday night, Carrabassett Valley fire Chief Courtney Knapp said Monday.
Police sent guests and others next door to the base lodge, he said.
Sugarloaf is hosting the Special Olympics Winter Games from Sunday to Tuesday this week.
About 10 firefighters and two police officers initially responded to a report of the sprinklers being activated and smoke in the building at 7:50 p.m. Firefighters from Kingfield and Eustis were asked to stand by at the two departments' fire stations.
There was no smoke in the building, but there was a broken sprinkler head that sent water down the stairs from the fourth floor, Knapp said.
Two rooms that were unoccupied had some minor water damage, he said. The area was cleaned up and dried, and guests and others were able to return to the hotel in about 45 minutes, he said.
Firefighters were on the scene for 90 minutes, Knapp said.

Anthony Ervin is looking like he's going to be a real contender in the pool this June at the U.S. world team trials.
And Ryan Lochte? Well, he's getting there - at his own pace.
Ervin completed a strong weekend at the Arena Grand Prix in Charlotte by defeating a competitive field in the 100-meter freestyle that included former Olympians Cullen Jones, Ricky Berens and Garrett Weber-Gale.
The win comes one day after Ervin beat a loaded field in the 50 free.
Lochte, the 11-time Olympic medalist, competed in two events Sunday, finishing third in both the 200 IM and the 200 backstroke. Lochte led both events up until the final turn before fading in the final 50 meters.
"Oh, that hurt," Lochte said with a grimace. "That was the pain train. I definitely felt it. I was struggling."
But Lochte said he expected nothing less.
"If I feel good at this point in the season we have a problem," Lochte said. "I want to feel really beat up and don't want to be swimming my fastest times. I want to save that for when it matters."
Lochte has only recently returned to training full time after wrapping up production of his reality TV show "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?"
He's scheduled to compete in two more meets before the U.S. world team trials.
"I have four or five weeks to fix it," Lochte said. "When I'm out ahead in meets like this and I'm getting caught in the end it just shows that I have been doing some work and I'm tired. Four or five more weeks of training and resting will help and hopefully things will change when it really matters."
In the 200 IM, Lochte looked strong hitting the wall for the final time as the crowd cheered him on.
That's when Chase Kalisz kicked it into a different gear in the freestyle leg and won the race going away in 1:59.66. Singapore's Joseph Schooling finished second and Lochte touched home in 2:01.56, nearly two full seconds off the pace.
Lochte suffered a similar fate in the 200 backstroke looking strong until the final 50 meters before losing to Ryan Murphy, who won in 1:59.93. Jack Conger also passed Lochte late to finish second in 2:00.25. Lochte finished in 2:00.80.
The 31-year-old Ervin left swimming for eight years after the 2000 Sydney Games but was pumped after a strong showing in Charlotte.
He returned two years ago and earned a spot on the U.S. team for the London Games. There, he took fifth place in the 50 free.
Now he appears to be swimming better than ever.
Ervin made the turn in a blazing 22.9 seconds and finished in 49.14 to beat out Berens (49.99) and Michael Klueh (50.35). Weber-Gale was fifth and Jones finished seventh.
"I was trying to push it and then just hold on," Ervin said. "That's just the way I do it. It's not ideal, but it works for me."
Still, Ervin said the water "felt like stone" the final 25 meters.
Connor Jaeger captured the men's 1,500 freestyle, finishing in 15 minutes, 2.68 seconds, less than a second ahead of Michael McBroom.
On the women's side, two-time Olympian Chloe Sutton captured the 800 free in 8:25.88, edging out Andreina Pinto of Venezuela by five-hundreds of a second in the closest race of the night.
"That was a ton of fun," Sutton said. "Coach is going to tell me that I didn't take it out fast enough. I really had to turn it on late. But I'm really happy with the time."
Sixteen-year-old Kathleen Baker won the women's 200 IM in 2:14.46, beating out Olympian Shannon Vreeland, and 15-year-old Kaitlin Harty won the 200 backstroke in 2:10.38 with a convincing win over Megan Romano and Brooke Zeiger.
Romano captured the 100 free in 55.24, edging out Vreeland and Lia Neal.

Everyone knows a group of people like this because they brag about it all the time.

The Eagles denied a report from earlier today that the team had made an offer to extend the contract of backup quarterback Kevin Kolb.
A team source said the report is "completely 100 percent false." A league source also labeled the report as "erroneous."
Jeff Nalley, Kob's agent, had no comment when reached tonight.
Gary Gobb of gcobb.com cited a source in the report, which also claimed that someone from the Eagles front office had told Kolb over a year ago that he would take over for starter Donovan McNabb in approximately a year's time.
Kolb, like McNabb and third quarterback Michael Vick, is heading into the final year of his current contract. Speculation over the Eagles' quarterback situation has already reached an elevated state, although there isn't likely to be any movement until free agency opens on March 5. There could be some clarity by March 9, however, when the team must decide if its to extend Vick with a $1.5 million bonus or release him.
It is worth noting that Eagles coach Andy Reid has gone on the record as saying that McNabb is his starting quarterback for next season. Joe Banner has reiterated that Reid has the final say on personnel decisions, but the team president has seemingly left the door open, saying earlier this week on the team's Web site that "there are different levels of complexity about the decision.We'll have to sit down and figure that out."
Meanwhile, there have been numerous let's-toss-anything-against-the-wall-and-see-if-it-sticks reports from various outlets on the future of McNabb-Kolb-Vick. Nothing has stuck because there haven't been any final decisions made.
We're not normally accustomed to responding to conjecture, but this one seemed worth confirming/refuting/clarifying. We'll try and have something more substantive once it occurs regarding the Eagles' quarterback situation -- or that of any Eagles player, for that matter -- in the coming weeks.

Former tiger Aldon Smith faces probation sentence
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - A judge has sentenced San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith to three years of probation and to spend 11 days with a work crew after he pleaded no contest to drunken driving and assault-weapons charges.
The sentence came Friday after the Santa Clara County Superior County judge reduced the weapons charges to misdemeanors, noting that the football star has no criminal record involving violence.
Smith was also told to serve 235 hours of community service and pay nearly $4,000 in fines.
Prosecutors say Smith didn't receive special treatment in the case.
The weapons charges stem from a 2012 party at his home where several shots were fired. Investigators later found unregistered weapons in Smith's house.
The 49ers say they continue to support Smith's efforts to grow personally from this experience.

I bought this vette in 2005. I have always wanted one. It was fun working on it, finding different parts needed to improve performance and looks. I wanted it to look different from any other 82. The color looks orange in the daytime and red at nite. 2 good friends, ( Larry & Rodney), helped me to get it where it is today. I really enjoy driving it on cruises and I show it at cars shows. I have received many trophies including Best GM, Ladies Choice, Best 80's, and Best 80's Corvette along with the Top 50's ect.

Great! More passwords which mean nothing to me and so are even harder to remember. (Yes, I know, I don't have to use it.)
1Password makes this super easy. Not free but very effective. https://agilebits.com/onepassword/mac
Best passwords - a string of words. Iwanderedlonelyasacloud. Tobeornottobe. Roundmanywesternislandshaveibeen.Every password-breaking program is designed to deal with passwords that contain uper & lower case letters & numbers. Most people do things such as replace an o with a 0, or an i with a 1. F00tball, or something similar. Easy for software to crack.
Another vote for 1Password!
Those programs are based on a dictionary attack which assumes that the password is the same length as a real word. And even then, usually only an English word. Otherwise, it would have to examine every possible permutation of a string. And if it didn't know how long the string was it would be starting from scratch. For a 9-digit alphanumeric password, you're looking at over 14 million possible combinations. And it would most likely try every permutation of shorter strings before it attempted a 9-digit string. Considering that most financial websites will freeze access to your account after three failed attempts (at which point you would change your password anyway), anyone trying to parse your password will probably not be able to gain access before the sun goes nova. There are much easier ways for criminals to gain access to your accounts.
Your analysis of the problem is incorrect: the risk for online services is not brute forcing from the outside, but matching the hashes to leaked data. For local access, passwords will only annoy the dumbest and most casual thieves anyway, unless you use encryption.
Not stupid capitalization and weird characters rules which makes passphrases difficult for people to remember and easy for computers to guess.

(For Part 2 of this series, click here)
You would think watching at least one James Bond movie every day for weeks would get old, but I can tell you from personal experience that it does not. The last few weeks of my life were spent plowing through all twenty-three 007 movies in the Eon Productions canon, and I had an absolute blast. From Goldfinger to Jaws, from XXX to Tracy Bond, I rebonded with every character, and like any obsessive, I immediately sat down and ranked every single one.
After a few dozen tweaks, I wrote paragraphs for each entry, and this week, I've been presenting my choices a handful of films at a time. On Tuesday, I unleashed 23-16. Yesterday, I presented 15-11, and without further ado, here is 10-6…
10) 1989's License To Kill
If The Living Daylights was an intentional hop toward realism, License To Kill is an execution-style hit to the temple of the entire Roger Moore era. Not only do drug dealers feed Felix Leiter's leg to a shark and attach a note to his body saying "He disagreed with something that ate him", they rape and murder his lovely wife Della for good measure. When Bond vows to seek revenge against the monsters who did it, M fires his ass and tries to take away his gun.
It's hands down the most intense and disturbing plot to be found anywhere in the Bond canon, and looking back, it's not really a surprise this ended the Timothy Dalton era. People typically like their Bond flicks to offer a few more smiles and at least the occasional bout of whismy. License To Kill has neither of those things, but even if it is unbalanced, it's still strangely good.
There's something refreshing about how straightforward everything is about this movie. When Bencio del Toro's henchman Dario spots Bond in disguise after they had a run-in weeks earlier, he immediately takes out his gun and deals with it. When one of the DEA agents betrays his buddies, it's about nothing more than money. There aren't many wrinkles, but there is a sweet manta ray disguise and a well-executed intro that features a plane being tied upside down.
I'm not sure Bond could have survived a third time around the track with Dalton, but his second trip is riveting.

With all the club changes I've been making, my bag has quite an assortment of brands. Fourteen clubs from 5 manufacturers.
- Driver: Adams Golf Speedline 9064LS
- 3 Wood: TaylorMade RocketBallz
- Hybrids: Adams Golf Idea Tech V3 (3 and 4 iron)
- Irons: Ping i20 (5-PW)
- Wedges: Cleveland CG14 (52, 56, and 60 degree)
- Putter: Odyssey White Ice D.A.R.T.
- Balls: Titleist Pro V1x
- Rangefinder: Bushnell V2 Tour
The TaylorMade RocketBallz 3 wood could make my driver obsolete. The club hits the ball a mile and then some! It came in yesterday, so I'll give it a week in the bag before I jump to any conclusions, especially since I bought the driver at this time last year.
I only buy pre-owned golf balls from Knetgolf. Unless you are close to playing scratch golf, there is no reason to pay full price for brand new golf balls. A dozen of the Titleists I play go for around $50 at the store. I usually get 10 dozen of them, lightly used, for $160. Do the math. When you hit a brand new ball a couple of times you end up with a pre-owned ball anyway. Are those first few hits worth paying 3 times as much? Over the course of a year you'll save a lot of money hitting used balls and your scores won't suffer.
If you don't have a rangefinder in your bag, make the investment. You can get a nice one for $250 or less on eBay or if you watch for sales. A rangefinder speeds up the pace of place, takes the guess work out of walking off distances, and helps to improve your game because you'll learn how far you really hit your clubs.

VANCOUVER — For his NHL career, Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference's teams are 4-4 in Game 7 situations.
When he takes the ice for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final tomorrow night, he'll be trying to push that record over the .500 mark and also make up for the missed opportunity he suffered through with Calgary in 2004.
That season, the Flames missed two opportunities to close out Tampa Bay for the Cup before succumbing in seven games.
"It was a long time ago. You obviously remember it and stuff like that, but it's not really on my mind anymore," he said today after the Bruins practiced at Rogers Arena, where the ultimate game will be played.
Ference might not think much about that '04 season anymore, but it taught him a lesson about how rare the chance to play on the game's biggest stage is. Especially now that he's onto the second half of his career, there might not be another opportunity waiting down the road.
"It just means another chance," said Ference, who helped the Bruins stave off elimination in Game 6 the way the Lightning did to the Flames seven years ago. "You obviously, in your whole career you're not going to get too many shots at it. And whether it's Game 6, Game 7, just to get in the Final is a treat. And to be with a good team that gives you a chance to win it, it's an honor."

I've tried fenugreek ( which worked for me before), took a whole bottle and didn't see ANY sort of increase at all. I made some lactation cookies, ate the whole batch and nothing! I thought I was using the wrong size shield so I bought another one and still nothing.. I've been trying to pump longer, as much as i can.. and am not seeing any difference.. This is so frustrating, I just dont know what else to do..

Jabari Greer (born February 11, 1982 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American football cornerback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League. He was signed by the Buffalo Bills as an undrafted free agent in 2004. He played college football at Tennessee.
Greer was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on February 11, 1982. Jabari's family moved to Houston, Texas where he resided until 8th grade. After 8th grade, Greer moved to Jackson, Tennessee where he attended Jackson South Side High School. At Jackson South Side, Greer was an all state selection in both football and track. He currently plays football for the New Orleans Saints.
During his college career at Tennessee, Greer participated in track and field as well as football. He broke the 110m hurdles school record that had previously been held by Collin Henderson. Greer was a three-year starter at cornerback and broke a school record by playing in 51 games.

Last week, in a speech at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Marco Rubio called for the United States to provide ammunition to the Syrian opposition. And nearly every week, it seems, John McCain argues that the U.S. should supply arms to that opposition.
But Michael Rubin argues, persuasively I think, that the time has passed to take such action because the Syrian opposition is now dominated by radical forces hostile to the U.S. and to freedom:
Much has already been written about the Nusra Front, a group supported by both Turkey and Saudi Arabia and which the United States considers an Al Qaeda affiliate and has designated a terrorist group. . . .[T]he Nusra Front now appears to be recruiting the most militant Islamists out there; being Syrian or fighting for Syrian freedom has nothing to do with their struggle. The opposition has radicalized, and the most responsible, moderate, and nationalist elements have been purged. Should Bashar al-Assad fall tomorrow, Syria will not be a democracy: At best there would be an ongoing civil war, and at worst the al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorists who have taken root inside Syria will consolidate their control.
What, then, should the U.S. do? It should protect U.S. interests:
The United States should prepare to use its airpower to neutralize any group which threatens U.S. national security. It must have contingencies to seize and destroy chemical munitions—no easy feat, as it took weeks to accomplish that task in Libya in 2003, and that was with Libyan government cooperation.
Rubin believes, and he may well be right, that at an earlier point in the Syrian civil war the U.S. should have thrown its weight behind certain rebel forces. But President Obama let that moment slip away:
At present, President Obama's reticence is correct, but only because his incompetence on the Syria issue has created a self-fulfilling prophecy, one which U.S. administrations will be dealing with for decades to come.

One of Everton's most prominent supporters, who is in failing health, recounts this story:
The doctor tells him "I have good news and bad news." The Evertonian says, "tell me the bad news first." The doctor responds, "your cancer is spreading rapidly." "So what's the good news?" the Evertonian asks. "You won't have to see Everton play at Kirkby."
This story captures the view of most die-hard Everton fans about the club's quest to build a new stadium outside of Liverpool. But it turns out that no Evertonian will have to see the Toffees play at Kirkby. The government has rejected the club's proposal to build there.
This, however, is the only good news from Everton's season thus far. A third of the way through, we are 14th in the Table, just 4 points above the "drop zone."
To make matters more interesting, we play Liverpool on Sunday. The Shite isn't particularly enjoying life either, sitting in the unaccustomed position of 7th place and having already been eliminated from Europe's Champions League.
The cliche is that you can throw all of this out where the Merseyside Derby is concerned. I'm not 100 percent sold on this bit of wisdom but it was certainly true 14 years ago this month. Then, an Everton side that had won only once in 14 matches (as opposed to once in 7, which is the current situation), defeated Liverpool 2-0. Duncan Ferguson scored the first goal — and his first in an Everton shirt — after having been "breathalyzed" by the police the night before.
This was the team's first match under Joe Royle, a former star player for Everton. Joe recalls the great victory here. Scroll down towards the bottom if you want to hear Joe tell the story in his own lilting scouser tones.
UPDATE: With Everton unable to move to Kirkby, there is now talk about buliding and sharing a stadium with Liverpool, who has a permit to construct one near the current site of both Anfield and Goodison Park. Sharing a park with the Shite is perhaps an even less appealing prospect to the Everton faithful than moving outside of the city. However, the aforementioned Joe Royle favors the idea.
Anfield and Goodison both hold special memories but both clubs, to have a chance of challenging Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United, would need greater income. Certainly Everton would gain as it halves the costs and it could make a fantastic stadium for both sets of fans.
It's tried and tested in Milan [where Inter and AC Milan share the San Siro] and a number of other big cities and it works.
Legendary Everton player and manager Howard Kendall opposes a "groundshare," as he opposed moving to Kirkby, but admits it may be the only solution for both clubs.
