LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The gangly, toothy-grinned "Tonight Show" favorite whose brand of observational comedy became a staple for other standups, including Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser, has died. David Brenner was 78.
Friend and publicist Jeff Abraham says Brenner, who had been fighting cancer, died peacefully at his home in New York City today with his family at his side.
Comedian Richard Lewis said in a statement that "David Brenner was a huge star when I met him and he took me under his wing. To me, historically, he was the godfather of hip, observational comedy." Lewis goes on the say "He mentored me from day one. ... His passing leaves a hole in my life that can never be replaced."
The lanky, always sharply dressed Brenner became one of the most frequent visitors to Johnny Carson's "Tonight" in the 1970s and `80s.
His 150-plus appearances as guest and substitute host turned the former documentary filmmaker into a hot comedian, one who was ubiquitous on other talk shows and game shows.
He also briefly hosted his own syndicated talk show in 1987 and starred in four HBO specials.
ATLANTA (AP) -- Howard "Bo" Callaway Sr., a former Georgia congressman, Army secretary and one of the founders of Callaway Gardens, has died. He was 86.
Rachel Crumbley, a Callaway Gardens spokeswoman, says Callaway died Saturday from complications from a brain hemorrhage he suffered about two years ago. She says he died at an assisted-living facility in Columbus.
Callaway's son says in a statement that while his father's spirit will live on in his love of and vision for Callaway Gardens.
Callaway was elected to Congress in 1964, becoming the first Republican congressman from Georgia since Reconstruction. He ran for governor two years later but lost.
In 1973, he was appointed Secretary of the Army. From 1981 until 1987 he was chairman of the Colorado Republican Party.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The body of the late Gov. Reubin Askew will lie in state at the old Capitol as part of a series of memorials.
Askew, who served as governor from 1971 to 1979, died Thursday.
Askew will lie in state next Tuesday. Top state officials, including Gov. Rick Scott, are scheduled to be on hand.
A memorial service is scheduled at a Tallahassee church on Wednesday.
Askew will be buried with full military honors on Friday in Pensacola. He moved there when he was eight and represented the community when he was in the Legislature.
Askew rose from obscurity to become the Democrats' surprise gubernatorial nominee in 1970. His eight years in office coincided with the end of the Vietnam War, Watergate and dramatic social change across the nation.

Thanks,, everyone.You've given us plenty of good ideas. I'd like to share with you all MIL's memory of a photograph taken of her shortly before her High School graduation and her journey to the USA. 'On that rock at the Western Mountain I was experiencing a magic moment of my own. The world was all my own. I was thinking of the Universe; looking at the sky; breathing the clean air; feeling the wind blowing my hair;and dreaming of what my future could be'.

Hello! I'm really struggling with something in my head here: online
advertising. On the one hand, I strongly support it when it gives us
great free content, as we see on many websites. I enjoy reading
Engadget, for example, and I'd never want to block the ads as they
help to pay the staff's wages. That's a fair setup.
However, the amount of information being tracked by ad providers is
getting scary. Adverts are increasingly being tailored to what I
(apparently) want, and it's clear they're building up a detailed
profile about my browsing habits. I don't know what to do - I still
want to help ad-supported sites that I read, but I'm genuinely
concerned about my internet anonymity. I don't have anything to
hide, but I just want to be free. Any ideas, readers?
While we muse over that, enjoy this month's newsletter. We have a
look at the brand spanking new issue of Linux Format, roundups of
the hottest news stories and forum threads, plus a special feature
on emulating classic computers and consoles. Enjoy!

We all need a change of scenery now and then, so how about a change
of distro? With so much rapid innovation going on in the Linux
world, distros are constantly edging ahead of one another in areas
such as performance stability and ease-of-use. In this month's cover
feature we throw six of the best distros into a pit and let them
battle it out for supremacy. Who's the winner? You may very well be
We've backed this up by putting all six of the distros on a special
8GB, double-sided DVD. On one side we have the full version of
Fedora 15 with almost 3,000 packages - everything you need for a
powerful Linux desktop, development workstation or server. Plus
we have games, tutorials, podcasts and much more.
Also in the magazine: check out our review of Mageia 1.0, the
community spin-off of Mandriva. We look at how the Fedora distro
grows from a bunch of ideas into a fully installable release, examine
the best Android apps, and have tutorials on lightweight distros,
pro photography, cloud file sharing, Gnome 3 tweaking and more.
Here's a taster of LXF147 from the HotPicks section:
# Rekonq 0.7.0 -- http://rekonq.kde.org
New browsers don't make a habit of popping up, and there's
probably quite a good reason for that. Firefox and Chrome/Chromium
have the market pretty well sewn up, and they do a very good job
for the most part. Things like Flock, source forks with overly
lofty ambitions, don't tend to go down well with their intended
audience, as Flock's own closure demonstrates. And if you're
feeling deliberately obtuse, you'll plump for Opera rather than
something small and obscure, won't you?
Perhaps not. Firefox 4 has wrinkled a fair few brows thanks to its
memory management, which we can only call 'awful'. Chrome,
similarly, has always had issues when you're running a large
number of tabs because it reserves individual pockets of RAM for
each one. Konqueror? Well, it's there. And it's huge. It's
probably the most extendable browser of any on general release at
the moment. And for some people that's an issue - enough so that
it's been ousted in favour of Reqonq as Kubuntu's lead browser.
Rekonq (which I've decided, hilariously, is pronounced 'Re-conk')
aims to fix all this. It's a KDE-based browser running off the
WebKit framework (rather than Konqueror's default KHTML), so you
know it's going to have high compatibility with a large number of
pages and should stay up-to-date.
And it's built on a philosophy of 'small and light', meaning it
deliberately tries not to be a memory hog. There's a default mode
which allows you to select when plugins are loaded, akin to
Firefox's FlashBlock extension but wider reaching - an absolute
boon when it comes to reducing unnecessary memory use and even for
saving battery when you're on a laptop.

4. In the news
The biggest developments from around the net...
# Firefox 5 released
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/21 ... firefox_5/
Just a mere three months after Firefox 4 hit the download mirrors,
we have a major new release. Well, depending on how you look at it.
Firefox 5 includes the Do Not Track privacy feature, but otherwise
it's mostly a collection of bug and security fixes. But who can
complain about lovely new software, eh?
# Ubuntu might switch to Chrome
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/0 ... worth.html
It's not all good news for Firefox though. Mark Shuttleworth has
stated that Ubuntu might move to Chrome in a few releases. He says
that due to Google's work on Chrome OS, the web browser's
performance on Linux is exceptionally good, making it a natural
# Fedora 16 to use Btrfs by default
Just when you were getting used to ext4, Fedora has announced that
the distro will use a different default filesystem in the next
release. Btrfs supports pooling, snapshotting, checksumming and
other advanced features, which will keep the distro on the cutting
edge, but if any massive problems crop up the switch will be
postponed until Fedora 17.
5. This month on the forum
Heiowge spotted an article about wireless router SSIDs, and how some
people leave them with the default names, which makes them easy
targets for crackers. He changed his to the awesome sounding
"Surveillance Vehicle T7", and the discussion delved into the finer
points of wireless security. Thinking up decent passwords is often
tough, so towy71 pointed out a couple of solutions. [1]
Is Firefox moving too fast for its own good? Nerdy-ish wondered if
the developers were learning "bad habits from Microsoft, namely,
change for changes sake" after moving the tab bar. There certainly
seems to be a prevailing opinion around the net that Firefox is
jumping around too quickly, possibly as an attempt to catch up with
Google Chrome's ever-growing version number. [2]

6. Special Newsletter feature
New-fangled octo-core 35 jilliherz machines are all good and well,
but classic computers and video games consoles had a lot going for
them as well. Many of us learnt the fundamentals of computing on
8-bit machines in the 1980s, and have fond memories of games from
the time too. Let's take a look at some of the best options for old
system emulation.
1) PC -- DOSBox -- http://www.dosbox.com
The PC was host to a huge range of great games, and getting them
working under Wine (or even modern Windows) is often out of the
question. DOSBox emulates a PC with x86 processor, sound card and
other features, with a simple DOS layer on top for running old games
and apps. It's easy to configure (much better than DOSEmu, if you
remember that) and sports excellent compatibility. You can mount
local directories as drives inside the emulator, and change its
performance with the CYCLES option.
2) ZX Spectrum -- FUSE -- http://fuse-emulator.sourceforge.net
While its graphics were somewhat limited by the infamous colour
clash problem, the ZX Spectrum was still a great home computer with
heaps of games. FUSE, the Free Unix Spectrum Emulator, is arguably
the best emulator around and goes right from the 16K model through
to the +3 (with disk drive). It can read lots of different file
formats for tapes and has great compatibility.
3) Commodore 64 -- VICE -- http://www.viceteam.org
We're not going to start a flame war here, because clearly the Z80
is a better CPU than the 6502. Nonetheless, the C64 had considerably
better graphics than the Spectrum, and was hugely popular in the
States. VICE is an excellent emulator that has been around for many
years, so its compatibility is first-class.
4) Commodore Amiga -- UAE -- http://www.amigaemulator.org
Emulating the Amiga has always been difficult, due to the machine's
powerful custom chips. For many years it was hard to find an
emulator that ran games at the right speeds, but with today's
super-fast PCs that's not a problem. UAE is by far the most notable
Amiga emu; if you have trouble getting the vanilla version to work,
try E-UAE from the download page. With both you can use virtual
floppy disk images and run Workbench.
5) Atari ST -- Hatari -- http://hatari.berlios.de
We're fascinated to see that there's still a community of
ST/TT/Falcon fans on the internet, primarily in Germany. Atari's
unbelievably bad strategy and marketing led to a premature death of
its computer range, and while it didn't have all the graphical
prowess of the Amiga, it was still a great home computer. Hatari
runs the full gamut of Atari machines and is particularly focused on
running games.
6) Consoles -- SNES and Mega Drive (aka Genesis)
And lastly, a quick mention of some console emulators. For the SNES,
nothing beats ZSNES for excellent compatibility and performance. It
features some advanced facilities to search through memory and
create Game Genie codes. For the Mega Drive, try GENS, a scorchingly
fast emulator that even lets you record video footage.

Hello Forum, I am a new user and I have been at this problem for over 2 hours with my friends. We honestly don't know what's wrong and if could help us that would be awesome :D
The question is,
Given a string, return the longest substring that appears at both the beginning and end of the string without overlapping. For example, sameEnds("abXYab") is "ab".
Example are:
sameEnds("abXYab") -> "ab"
sameEnds("xx") -> "x"
sameEnd("x") -> "x"
What we have tried so far is:
Code :
public static String sameEnds(String str) { int len = str.length(); String output = ""; boolean b = true; if(len == 0 || len == 1) return str; if(len == 2 && str.charAt(0) == str.charAt(1)) return str.charAt(0) +""; if(len == 3 && str.charAt(0) == str.charAt(2)) return str.charAt(0) +""; for(int i = 0; i < len / 2; i++) { if(str.substring(i,i+1).equals(str.substring(len-(i+1),(len-i))) && b) output += str.substring(i,i+1); else b = false; } return output; }
If anyone could help us it would be great.
Also, another problem I am having is with this question:
The Evil E is back and it brought back some friends! Write a method that will acknowledge that the letter E is evil. Each letter E will eliminate that characters around it. But the Evil E's will not eliminate its friends. So it will no eliminate the letters e or E.
Example are:
evilEs("HELLO") -> " E LO"
evilEs("dEep") -> " Eep"
evilEs("Evil") -> "E il"
evilEs("bean") -> "bean"
evilEs("AbEEmgmEeodE") -> "A EE g Eeo E"
evilEs("ELEPHANT") -> "E E HANT"
evilEs("HomepagE") -> "Homepa E"
I haven't really tried anything for this one but any help is good help.
Thank you for reading this :)

After warning, Kontos ejected for hitting McCutchen
By Chris Haft 6/12/2013 12:42 A.M. ET
PITTSBURGH -- Giants right-hander George Kontos, ejected from Tuesday night's 8-2 loss to the Pirates after hitting Andrew McCutchen with an eighth-inning pitch, insisted that he was simply trying to work inside.
Kontos was automatically thrown out by home-plate umpire Wally Bell, who issued a warning to both benches earlier in the inning when the reliever threw a 1-1 pitch behind Starling Marte. Giants manager Bruce Bochy also was automatically tossed, marking his third ejection of the season.
"These guys had been putting good hacks on the ball all game," Kontos said. "If you're staying outside and these guys are diving over the plate, they're going to hit those outside pitches pretty squarely."
The genesis of McCutchen's plunking occurred one inning earlier, when he singled leading off against Kontos.
"First pitch of the seventh inning, he put a really good swing on it," Kontos said, "and they were hacking early and out over the plate, so I was trying to pitch inside. A sinker got away from me a little bit."
Asked if the ejection was fair, Bochy said, "Well, in that situation, yeah. You get a warning, then you end up hitting a guy, sure. There's no surprise there. That's part of the game. You have no argument."
Sandoval lands on 15-day DL with strained left foot
PITTSBURGH -- Giants manager Bruce Bochy expressed optimism Tuesday that Pablo Sandoval's injured left foot will heal by the time the third baseman's minimum stint on the disabled list ends, or shortly afterward.
"We're thinking that in 15 days, this thing will subside and calm down and he'll be good to go," Bochy said.
Sandoval officially went on the DL with a strained peroneal tendon in his foot. He was replaced on the active roster by infielder Nick Noonan, who just last Saturday was optioned to Triple-A Fresno. Bochy said that Joaquin Arias will receive the bulk of playing time at third base in Sandoval's absence, with Noonan and Tony Abreu filling in periodically.
Head athletic trainer Dave Groeschner said that Sandoval will wear a walking boot for a week before being reevaluated to determine the course of his remaining rehabilitation.
Word had spread that Sandoval would be placed on the DL with a hairline fracture in his foot. Groeschner confirmed that Sandoval indeed had that sort of break, but tests proved it was an injury that the reigning World Series Most Valuable Player had sustained years ago.
Sandoval's rehab will be a purposeful one, since it's generally believed that his weight is approaching a dangerous level.
"That will be a priority for Pablo, to shed a few pounds," Bochy said.
Bochy acknowledged the fans' widespread concern about Sandoval's weight and the assumption that his being heavy precipitated his injury, which he initially sustained May 30.
"Sure, that's going to be a question a lot of people are going to ask. And that's a hard one to answer," Bochy said. "Whether it has played a part in this injury -- when you're a little heavy and something like this happens, I think it's normal to say, 'Well, was this the reason?' I don't think anybody can answer that. Did [Angel] Pagan injure his knee because he's in too good of shape and he doesn't have enough weight? You don't know these things. But it's fair to say that with an injury to the foot, it can become an issue."
Said Groeschner, "He knows he has to lose weight. He's going to work on that while he's injured. I don't think that will have any impact on how this heals."
Pagan likely to remain on DL past activation date
PITTSBURGH -- Giants center fielder Angel Pagan is likely to remain on the disabled list past Wednesday, when he becomes eligible for reinstatement.
Pagan, who has been sidelined with a strained left hamstring, has not performed baseball-related activities since last week.
"I would say yeah, to be honest, he's probably going to need a few more days," manager Bruce Bochy said. "It's hard to say how many. But I don't see him coming off [the DL on] Wednesday."
Entering Tuesday, the Giants were 5-6 during the absence of Pagan, who's hitting .262 with 30 runs scored and six stolen bases in 46 games.
Giants' finalists for 'Tribute to Heroes' unveiled
PITTSBURGH -- An advocate for Vietnam Veterans and a pair of soldiers severely wounded in combat are the Giants' three finalists in the "Tribute for Heroes" campaign, a joint effort between Major League Baseball and PEOPLE magazine that recognizes veterans and military service members.
One winner from each of the 30 Major League clubs will be included in festivities during the week leading up to the July 16 All-Star Game in New York and will be recognized in a pregame ceremony. PEOPLE magazine also will publish a feature story on a "Tribute for Heroes" winner.
The Giants' finalists are Gil Calac of White Swan, Wash., Jarom Vahai of San Bruno, Calif., and Jose Jauregui of Stockton, Calif.
A winner of the Bronze Star for meritorious service, Calac and his wife, Valerie, live on the Yakama Indian Reservation. He helped establish a Vietnam Veterans Day -- March 30 -- in the state of Washington.
Despite sustaining brain trauma and severe nerve damage after being hit by explosives five times in Iraq, Vahai, an ex-Marine, is researching mathematical links between pyramids around the world and Stonehenge for a book he is writing.
Jauregui helps other veterans adjust to life after military service. In April 2005, he survived the blast from an exploding enemy mortar into the open door of the tank he occupied. Three other soldiers were killed; Jauregui sustained third-degree burns over 76 percent of his body.

Ideal for automatic, measured delivery of dry bulk ingredients to a process tank, it allows you to wet and convey dry bulk ingredients with a single integrated system. Unlike more traditional means of delivery, wherein dry solids are deposited on top of process liquids using a mechanical conveyor, this system pre-wets solids and transports them to the slurry tank in your liquid stream using standard plumbing components. Delivering powders via this approach prevents clumping and prolonged "floating", reducing mixing time, dusting, total footprint, and energy consumption, saving time and money. The standard system incorporates a bulk bag unloader and PosiPortion feeder, allowing you to accurately and efficiently meter feed the exact amount of required dry ingredients from your bulk bag. The rate of feed into the liquid eductor is accurately monitored and dispersed by the controls based upon the desired solid-to-liquid ratio. Hapman, Kalamazoo, MI 800-427-6260 www.IdeasThatMove.com

I think he means serious predictions, based on a science other than some fruit loop saying his elbow arthritis is playing up.Originally Posted by steds
Yes it was a big test for Cook, who's never played against him before, but he seemed reasonably comfortable. Jumping on anything with a little bit of width and cutting him through point, or stroking his full toss through mid on. I think it's important to take advantage of Warne's bad ball and make sure you put it away, cos you ain't gonna get many. It also puts some pressure back on him if he knows he'll get the treatment if he doesn't land it on the spot.
Collingwood is a good player of spin, a little similar to KP, in the way that he plays with his bat in front of his pad in defence, unlike Bell who goes with bat and pad side by side. He also uses his feet, which I would imagine is very difficult to Warne, but if you can do it competently it goes some way to nullifying Warne's effectiveness (unless you end up getting stumped on 96 that is!).
Think you're probably overestimating the chance of a draw there.Originally Posted by silentstriker

I predict early overcast conditions, possibly with a spot of rain if the clouds build up sufficiently.
However, should the wind continue in its current direction, this will blow over quite quickly and for the majority of the day it will be hot and humid as there is little cloud build-up out to sea - not much chance of big delays IMO
Anyway, I'm off for a morning dip in the ocean

The new ball should get some movement but it's the type of day where the bowlers could wilt quickly because of the weather
Guys at the other end are just as important as KP - if Jones goes early, could be wrapped up quickly as KP cant bat at both ends
If these 2 hang around for a while, Eng can make it tough going for 4 bowlers
BTW, sun is out here and clouds have been burnt off for time being
However, thunder-heads are appearing over mountains so it's likely we'll get a storm sometime today as predicted.
yeah, the thing about Geraint is though that he's awful batting with the tail, if KP goes before him, he's pretty much guaranteed to throw his wicket away

Serena Williams continued her career-best winning streak, now at 23 matches, on Saturday to advance to the Italian Open championship match in Rome.
The top-ranked American stopped Simona Halep of Romania, 6-3, 6-0, in the semifinals and will try to win her fourth consecutive tournament, and second in a row on clay, on Sunday against third-seeded Victoria Azarenka, who beat seventh-seeded Sara Errani, 6-0, 7-5, in the other semifinal.
Williams last lost in a final to Azarenka at the Qatar Open in February, when the former top-ranked player and two-time reigning Australian Open champion from Belarus defeated Williams, 7-6, 2-6, 6-3.
If Williams can win on Sunday, she'll try to repeat her performance from more than a decade ago when she followed a win in the Italian Open with her only title run in the French Open.
"I love the clay," the 31-year-old Williams said Saturday. "I haven't had many wins at Roland Garros, but I do love it. I love to slide.
"My goal is just to win a match there this year."
At last year's French Open, Williams lost in the opening round of a Grand Slam event for the first time in her career, when Frances' Virginie Razzano, then ranked No. 111, claimed a 4-6, 7-6, 6-3 upset. It was Williams' only loss in 33 matches on clay in the last two years.

Candidates running for office in the November election drew for their ballot positions at the County Clerk's office last Thursday. Two city commission candidates were present to draw — Jack Proctor and Beverly Ingram. Candidate Ellen Redmon sent her daughter-in-law, Megan, to draw in her place.
Six candidates have signed up to run for the four available spots on the Taylorsville City Commission.
Those candidates are incumbents Kathy Spears and Beverly Ingram, and Jack Proctor, Richard Johns, Paul Gaddie and Ellen Redmon.
Spears did not return messages in time to be included in last week's article about the candidates on the ballot for November, but has since provided the following statement regarding the reasons she decided to seek re-election.

York senior cross country runner Nathan Mroz crossed the finish line in 14:52 at the Lake Park sectional in Roselle on Saturday to win the race. The Dukes were second in the team standings to New Trier, which was a disappointment for the prestigious program. Mroz will be making his fourth trip, second time as a runner, to Peoria's Detweiller Park for state this weekend. Mroz, the Oak Trust Credit Union Athlete of the Week, spoke with sports reporter Dan Santaromita about the sectional race and the upcoming state meet.
What did it mean to you to win the sectional?
Our main focus was to make it as a team. I think that's the most important thing. It doesn't matter where I finished as long as we made it as a team. It's a nice bonus to get the win.
How do you think the team did?
It was not a good race for us. I couldn't tell you what the reason was. I think we kind of got a bad start and from then on it set the tone for the race and it wasn't really good.
What have your state experiences been like?
I would compare it to nothing else. It's amazing. When you walk off that bus it's the coolest thing. You got 200 fans, you got the band. It's a great atmosphere. It's such a great thing to be a part of.
Do you like the course at Detweiller Park?
I think since the meet has been there for so long you base everything off of that. Personally, I like the course. It's nice and flat and it makes for a fast race.

Who is Norv working with?
First of all, this idea that Norv Turner was some "elite" offensive coordinator is ridiculous. Remember that those Cowboy teams had perhaps the best offensive line of all time, along with HOFers at QB, WR and RB. Norv didn't screw it up, I'll say that much. But Brian Schottenheimer would have won 3 SBs with those teams. But look what Norv did to Philip Rivers. The guy is a shell of himself.
I remember last offseason hearing everyone say, "Sure, Sparano was a terrible head coach, but that is irrelevant. He is a great coordinator. He invented the Wildcat!"
And here is the important point: if Norv is here next year, as the OC for Rex, and this team underachieves again (which it will), Rex will be fired and guess who will be standing right there as the #1 candidate to replace Rex as HC? It will be oh so easy and convenient for Woody to elevate a guy who, on paper, won't look so bad (those Charger teams did win a lot of games). Maybe he just needed a change of scenery, all the "experts" (read: Gary Myers) will say. And then you will all regret ever wanting him here in the first place.
Granted, Norv is perfect for the franchise that has employed such offensive geniuses as Kotite, Walton, Coslet, Hackett, et al. But if you want to re-live that kind of history, good luck with that. No thank you.
Who is Norv working with?
Norv is a huge improvement over Sparano. And NO, if the Jets suck again next year Norv won't be standing their to take over. Why? Because the Jets defense will be really good again next year (Revis back). If the Jets are bad again next year, it will most likely be because of the offense again thereby nullifying any chance Norv takes over.
Doesn't it mean SOMETHING that the SD offense has been top 10 in scoring 5 times since 2007 when he started? Or is that just all on Phillip Rivers?
He's been a successful offensive mind everywhere he has been.
He was the guy who originally had Alex Smith playing above his head before Harbaugh arrived.
I'd take him in a heartbeat. Easily my #1 choice to replace Sparano.
Guy runs a balanced approach catered to his players strengths and has a knack for developing young QB's.
Norv is widely regarded as one of the brightest offensive minds in the NFL. He just isn't suited to be a HC. And he has had plenty of very good offenses since he left the Cowboys.
He is a proven commodity and we would be luck to have him.
That said, if we don't improve our talent on offense it doesn't matter if Jesus is coaching them. We will need a competent QB no matter who the OC is. And I would like a veteran receiver that can stretch the field so Holmes can work underneath. Can't bank on Hill being that guy next year although I do think Norv will be good for him too.
I'll take my chances with him..
He is a proven offensive coordinator..
I was impressed with him when he was in our division with the Dolphins..
As retreads go I think he is good...
He is a good enough Offensive Coordinator to keep getting offered head coaching jobs because of those skills right??
Oh and Norv sucks.
Look at his SD teams....tall receivers in VJax and floyd, lot of TE (easy choice when you have gates), and power running. That isnt todays NFL.
We need an OC that "grew up" with the spread offense, and who can implement what the redskins are doing with RG (albeit on a smaller scale since he is a true running QB) by using read option plays.
Whether or not Norv is an upgrade over the disgrace of an OC/QB coach we have now isnt really up for debate, of course he is. But is he the best long term OC that we can hire?
Personally I feel he is just another NFL retread (talented but still been around a long time) who runs the same offense the NFL has been running for years. He has zero experience with the spread and with all the talent on offense that SD had, was never really able to get over the hump.
One side note about sparano and the "wildcat". If you look at the plays we run with tebow, all we do is run him into the line or off tackle, the exact same plays that sparano used with ronnie brown in miami. Well, that ISNT WHAT TEBOW DID OR DOES, he ran a read-option offense in Denver which makes the sparano hire all the more insane as he had no clue how to run that offense. If we wanted to find a "wildcat QB" to run into the line 20 times a year, we probably could have found one without trading a 4th round pick.
No Friggin way!!!
Why as a fan would you want another teams failures. Turner is done. The only way for this team to move forward, is to bring in a young new coaches. Guys like Turner, Gruden and Cowher are all done. That's why they are on T.V., Turner will be next.
Norv. No
Ryan Nasseeb???
We don't need a new bust

Norv would elevate this Jet offense immediately upon his arrival. No longer a head coach he would be able to concentrate on his trade and he is good at his trade - better than any other alternative. Norv would pine for the players he needs to make our offense successful. He wouldn't bring in a Tebow. Maybe he brings Gates with him - is Gates a free agent? Norv is a perfect match for the Jets. Rex can concentrate on his defense and Norv the offense. I don't know how Sparano slinkied his way on the Jets as a offensive coordinator - I think he came to the Jets when they were their weakest and needed some authority on offense but Sparano is a one and done O- coordinator. Norv is the perfect complement to Rex. Also Norv is a players coach. He might be able to atract some free agents that the Jets wouldn't normally get. I vote for Norv but anyone over Sparano is an upgrade.
Norv has made lemonade out of lemons
Their top WR is someone that they literally got of the streets mid season
Mathews is made of glass
Gates is a former shadow of himself
They have released every talented skill player...sproles, tobert, lt, Vincent Jackson
AJ smith sucks! Not Norv
Now I don't think he's the savior o the jets but he's better than tony

what year engine (parts compatibility problem)
Posted 11 November 2004 - 07:31 PM
at least some of them don't, I got a dist. cap that won't fit on, and the exhaust gasgets don't fit either. (I got them for an "84 Brat GL non-turbo"
see what happened is, back in 1995 a 68,000 mile engine was put in it (I know this from the service records) , but I am not sure from what year, or model of GL.
how would I check to see what year of engine it is?
Posted 11 November 2004 - 08:05 PM
Posted 11 November 2004 - 09:38 PM
is there any other way to tell, like the number on the engine? (is there one?)

were nippon denso's the 2wd ones? because thats what it is
Yes. I think the ND disty was standard on any EA81 with an O2 sensor. (not that the two are actually related) My '88 4wd Hatchback has the ND disty and an O2 sensor, as do all of my 2wd EA71/EA81 cars. In general though, 4wd cars got the Hitachi dist, while 2wds got the ND one.
In what way did the exhaust gaskets not fit? and which exhaust gaskets? The "flange" gaskets between the Y-pipe and the heads are the same for all EA71/EA81/EA82 cars. I guess the diameter of the hole in the middle might vary some, so I always use EA82 ones on all of my cars. If you asked for "exhaust manifold" gaskets and got gaskets that look like large thin washers, those are the ones that go between the cast iron air pipe flange and the head. Any other exhaust gaskets can vary depending on year and if you have a stock exhaust or not.
Posted 13 November 2004 - 01:45 PM
The gasgets are not the same, I mean the gasgets that connect the y-pipe to the heads, what I got looked just like the gasgets that were on it, but the bolt holes were a little too far apart, I had to cut out a small piece to make it fit, but that, with the need for new bolts/nuts there, makes it loud
Posted 13 November 2004 - 03:11 PM
And where did you get these parts?? Some general auto parts store or a Subaru dealer. It sounds like you got the gaskets (note spelling) for an EA82, they are very similar looking, but the spacing is different.
it's a 2wd model engine, I took the cap down and found a replacement.
The gasgets are not the same, I mean the gasgets that connect the y-pipe to the heads, what I got looked just like the gasgets that were on it, but the bolt holes were a little too far apart, I had to cut out a small piece to make it fit, but that, with the need for new bolts/nuts there, makes it loud
Posted 13 November 2004 - 04:44 PM
those are for what he said goes to a 1981 brat, beause the ones he had listed for an 84 brat were these soft metal ring things. (???)
I know he has no idea what he was doing, I forgot that when I listed it earlier.

I guess whether or not you have idiots behind the counter will vary from location to location, but the one here is pretty well staffed - thank goodness!! and thier prices beat the other two "auto" parts stores in the area. (and the nearest Subaru Dealer to me is a 3 1/2 hour drive one way - not something I can do on a regular basis!)

on to the next one
it depends den dun sa tao. XD
bt majority, mentality of pinoys kse sa ibang bansa "LIFE IS EASY"
like pag yung mommy/daddy na nsa abroad, pabili ng pabili.
so filipino mentality den un. na madali lnd d2 sa ibang bansa. i used to thnk that, but now tht im here in the USA, deym. hnd tinatae ang dollars! OMGassh. so sometimes tlga ppl change.
suup? :)
I agree that people who have gone abroad have changed their way of life slightly, but doesn't everyone do that? Not just to fit in, or convenience, but because you're surrounded by that culture that it becomes absorbed into people and it's sort of inevitable.
I've been in New Zealand for most of my life, I came here when I was 5, and we had to adapt our lives here,
it isn't like Philippines where everyone spoke the same language as us, or acted the same way, they had different customs that we had to adjust.
I admit, our roots are mainly based on our Filo heritage, but a good sense of balance. like a balanced adaptation to both the new country and filo traditions are a healthy combination.
I have met girls that have come to NZ and have fully adapted to the kiwi lifestyle, speaking for experience, most of the time, it is easier to blend, instead of sticking out like a sore thumb. There are still racial prejudice against us, we're always grouped with the Koreans, Chinese and Japanese (not saying there's nothing wrong with Chinese, Korean and Japanese), but we're automatically the butt of every joke. People are so ignorant and automatically think we can't drive.
I was getting my restricted the other day, the assessor automatically judged me when he first saw me, we hadn't even got in the car and he had made his mind up that he would fail me. They stereotype us, the more you look less Asian, the easier it is.
I wonder...
i think they trying to fit in .. but there is some Filipinos are like that tryng to change the filipino values..
thank you lord
heey, of course we need to fit in if we go to the other country.,.. do u think that they are the one who will fit in just for us..? we are the one visiting there country so we should follow there culture.... but we shouldn't forget ours.. I mean, if we went back to the phil, we shud speak in tagalog... don't use the "I forgot how to speak tagalog anymore" as an excuse... u went there in other country when u are already teen so it's impossible to forget ur own mother tongue.. some of them just one to be noticed or look cool... but no, just to tell you the truth, you don't look cool at all... you look stupid...
Errare humanum est
fitting is normal if your growing up in another country....I was born in the phils but came to Australia when I was 6 so really didn't get to know of my filo roots yet I could probably tell you everything there is to know of Australia. That's just how it is and I'm proud to be called an Australian as well as a pinoy.
I guess the good thing about here is that racism and stereotypes died back in the 80's. Not that it's completely gone as there are still a few Caucasians who class us as your typical Asians, but its probably not as bad as other countries...
I've lived in the US for more than 10 years. Now i'm currently living here in the PH to study.
To be honest, i don't like how things run here. I'm talking about when you're getting in line just to deposit money, enrolling at school, etc. It takes SOOO damn long just to get things done, and i'm not even kidding. Maybe it's because i'm used to how fast things go in the US. I'm still not adjusted with how laggy it is here. I also dislike some filipinos. Idk, they just have this filipino personality that i dislike. Maybe its because most of the people i encounter are way too judgemental. They also have this crab mentality, if you know what i mean.
But looking at the bright side, I love the food here. I love Makati (my favorite place in manila). I love the high-end places that i've been to so far. Everything that has a touch of foreign, i like. xD
Although, some of the places looks a bit "Exagg" (exaggerated), i still love how they put so much effort to make the location look like a good place to hang out. So that's pretty much one of the reasons why i'm proud to be a filipino. heh.
Crunchyrolling again...huhu!
well first and foremost you r not in Philippines you woulnt wash your butt with water in america!! if your a resident of a country you should embrace it cuz u liv in it, but with saying that keep up some great aspects of a filipino
they have lost the spirit of our country in short they have corrupted souls.An infection to our mother land someday we shall rid this foreign disease
sicvis veccum parabellum:if you want peace prepare for war!
Drinking Tanduay and smoking Weed while riding a "Motorela" going to your High School Alma mater's foundation day is the one thing I miss the most and planning to do it again someday.

we are about to migrate in US, after one year..
as I observe, nagiging feeling na talaga mga filipino teens na nagmimigrate..
maganda naman maging simple lng, as you are at kung ano ka Pinas..
I'm back, after how many years. Lol
Depends on the people themselves afaik. Kids these days have really more mature minds than their age so it depends how they cope with stresses that are thrown to them, and yes the manner in which they were brought up comes into play, As for me I know that kids who grew up in the Philippines have more manners than kids who grew up abroad.But for those who only migrate...well..I think they just dont want to have a hard time..I think there's a big difference it fitting in and blending in so some kids want to fit in while some just want to blend..
Just dont be to harsh on yourselves.kay?
I agree somewhat. I see them all the time at the airport, buying expensive things they really don't need or wearing winter clothes even in the Philippines to look sophisticated. It's somewhat present in our Filipino community here in Japan since most kids here have been living here for 9 years (I've only lived in Japan for 5 years) and they've forgotten how to speak filipino (or if they do, they have a really obvious accent) and they're very Americanized. However, they do show pinoy traits such as being polite to parents/elders/superiors/etc, and they're very nice and intelligent. There are a few exceptions though

Hi guys! Nag-google ng "Filipino teenagers living in Canada" at ito ang unang link ng website ang napindot ko, so sa kadahilanang gusto kong mag-tanong at mag-share, napa-sign up ako. :)
So ganto yung, Im a filipino living here in SK, Canada. July 7 2010 kami nag-migrate dito, grade 9 (14 y/o) ako sa school dito, pero sa sobrang LUCKY ko(sarcasm), AKO LANG ang PINOY sa school namin. ANg hirap mag-adjust at ang hirap mag-fit in! Simpe lang naman ang mga teenagers dito sa SK, pero ang hirap paring makibagay at mag-fit in. Im very silent, at hindi ako makapag-approach sa mga kaklase ko (bcoz of nahihiya ako), unang una na sa liit kong ito 5'5 and half at lalake pa ako, nakakawalang kompiyansa, although nakakasabay ako sa kanila sa academics, so bakit ganun.
Any ADVICE? Would APPRECIATE it SO MUCH! Thanks!
isnt the word migration come in the same category as "change"
i migrated in UK and i havent lost my 'pinoy side' even though i can barely talk in pinoy (cause i moved here in the UK when i was 5) but here we have a pinoy community so it doesnt really change anything :/ x

Neurogenic bladder is a problem with how the bladder works because of a nerve problem. Problems may include:
Neurogenic bladder is caused by damage or injury to the nerves carrying messages between the bladder and the brain. The nerve damage makes it difficult to coordinate when the bladder should empty.
Factors that increase your child's chance of neurogenic bladder include:
Symptoms may include:
These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. If your child has any of these symptoms, talk to their doctor.
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will also be done. The doctor may ask you to keep a diary of how often your child empties his or her bladder and other urinary habits.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Imaging tests may also be done to evaluate the bladder and urinary tract. These may include:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include the following:
The doctor may recommend that your child take antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections.
Other medication may also be used to improve bladder function.
A thin tube, called a catheter, can be inserted to empty your child's bladder. You can learn to do this for your child, or a trained healthcare professional may do it.
If other treatments fail, surgery may be an option. The exact type of surgery will depend on what is causing the problems. Some surgical options include enlarging the bladder or creating an artificial sphincter to control urine flow.
Most cases of neurogenic bladder cannot be prevented.
