Experts say pre-802.11n gear is premature
As rival factions flesh out a merged proposal for the forthcoming 802.11n standard, experts explain how it will affect companies and why pre-standard gear won't cut it.
Wi-Fi's next era is coming as a compromise on the upcoming 802.11n high-speed wireless networking standard is reportedly...

just weeks away.
However, experts suggest companies resist the temptation to upgrade to faster equipment before a standard is approved.
According to Ken Dulaney, Gartner vice president of mobile computing, the 802.11n specification will be a major driver of the next generation of Wi-Fi equipment. Using multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) technology, which utilizes numerous antennas in transmitters and receivers, the resulting added bandwidth could boost data transfer rates as high as 500 Mbps.
But a finalized 802.11n standard has been stuck at an impasse because the two groups working with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards group on proposals have yet to agree on key issues, such as channel width and backward compatibility magnitudes.
One camp, TGn Sync, includes Intel Corp., as well as Nortel Networks Ltd., Samsung Electronics Co., Philips Corp. and Panasonic. Rival group WWiSE includes Airgo Networks Inc., Broadcom Corp., Motorola Inc. and Nokia Corp., among others.
At a May 2005 IEEE meeting, despite being the favorite, TGn Sync's proposal failed to win enough support to become the draft 802.11n standard. The IEEE's bylaws subsequently dictated that both groups' proposals be reconsidered.
WWiSE and TGn Sync have since come together to broker a compromise, and Dulaney said they will most likely enact a merged standard.
"What's going to happen is that they're going to resolve to use the best of both," he said. Most likely, users will have optional use of 20 or 40 MHz channels, backwards compatibility with 802.11a, b and g, as well as increased radio sensitivity and other advanced techniques.
Hooman Honary, senior strategic technologist with semiconductor vendor Broadcom Corp. and part of the WWiSE group, said there is an active joint proposal now between WWiSE and TGn Sync alliances with significant support from both groups.
He added, "We strongly support a merged proposal and are participating in the joint proposal activity."
Discussions between companies on key technical points is critical to generation of a high-quality draft, Honary said, and he's seeing encouraging signs that companies are talking.
And these discussions will bear fruit. Honary said the joint proposal development and constructive communication between the technical experts will improve the overall quality of the standard and benefit the industry as a whole.
Despite the optimism, it's going to be a while before companies can invest in high-speed Wi-Fi equipment based on an official 802.11n standard.
"I really don't think this will be important for users until 2007," Dulaney said. "It's just going to take that long to put all this together."
Honary advises users to delay Wi-Fi implementations until there is a final standard and interoperability certification available from the Wi-Fi Alliance because without a standard, there is no guarantee of interoperability.
"I'm telling my clients to buy a, b or g access points. Those will easily last for the next three or four years," Dulaney said.
But, he added, organizations should be wary of high-speed "pre-N" gear based on early 802.11n draft specifications. "The term 'pre-N' should be banned from our language."

Ha thanks Eiros! I am doing the best I can for him! He is on pineapple right now because he likes eating poo GROSS! It seems to be working plus I pick it up as fast as I can and that helps, he has not started scouting the yard for cat poo! GRRR!! He seems to be gaining weight, I know he gained 2 pounds the first week and I am slowly growing him! I want to feed raw but right now it is just not going to work out for us. I have him on the Costco food, Natures Domain beef and sweet potato. He went to the vet and got wormed last week and so I don't see worms in his poo anymore! He will go back for another set of shots tomorrow. Still have to get the microchip and thinking I will take him to the animal shelter for that since it is only $20 as opposed to the $45 the vet wants!
He doesn't like to be brushed but I do it anyway! I will be taking him next week to the grooming shop, not sure if I will have them groom him so he gets the experience and the socialization or if I will do it since the front part is self serve.
I will be taking his picture after his bath to send in for his AKC PAL number so he can be registered with them and be able to get titled in OB and agility and stuff.
He still hasn't learned to leave the cats alone! He gets smacked every now and then and has learned to sort of keep his distance but he still barks and wants to play!
Well I have hijacked my own thread but thought you would be interested in a little better update!
Thanks for keeping up on him!

The good news continued yesterday when MB reported more than doubled pre-tax profits of pounds 4.2m in the year to July, up from pounds 2.04m. Production of black cabs is running at 52 a week, up from 44 last year and well over 50 per cent higher than at the bottom of the recession.
Although the outlook is clouded a little by political uncertainty, there is no reason to doubt that steady growth should continue. But MB's future sales are underpinned anyway by the impending deadline for all taxis to be made accessible by the disabled. The company launched its own wheelchair- friendly Fairway eight years ago.
Already second-hand models dating from the late 1980s are worth pounds 2,000 more than non-accessible vehicles, reflecting the approach of the cut- off point early next century. The lion's share of the replacements are almost certain to come from MB.
Meanwhile, profits are growing in the rest of the business. Taxis remain the backbone of the group, raising their contribution 28 per cent to pounds 4.12m last year, but the automotive components operation saw its profits more than triple to pounds 829,000. Further elimination of loss-makers should see further recovery.
The group remains heavily exposed to the yen, the currency in which it buys the engines for its cabs, but recently the trend has been running in MB's favour. Profits of pounds 5.2m this year would put the shares, up 5p at 192p yesterday, on a prospective multiple of nine. Reasonable value, although the market is thin, with 44 per cent of the equity in family hands.

Took the '50 out for its first drive today!
Yup. Me and my pops got her running pretty good now. All she needed was a new battery, a little carb tuning and the flat 6 wasnt getting any gas so we had to screw around a bit but its gets enough fuel now. It runs a bit hot, at 200 but I read that that's the normal temperature for these engines. Oil pressure is good and no leaks, doesnt smoke either. So my dad just couldnt resist seeing her on the driveway sitting and he got the keys and I hopped in and we went for a short 10 minute drive around the neighborhood. No registration, no plates, no insurance and only the left front brake is functoinal The truck stalled 3 times cause it was idling to low so that still needs adjusting a bit. It was a great feeling! I'll keep working on her and the brakes are up next.
Here are some pics Me and my baby Taking her out for the first time And just when my mom thought we made it back safe from our first round my dad punched it and shifted into third as I gave her the goodbye wave Mike

And yet more pics
I love the hood! Sorry 'bout the quality, they were shot with a crappy camera and then put on CD by the revealing place. As soon as I get my digi back I'll post some good pics of the engine. Mike |
Dude,that is cool. My first ride had snow studs on it,when I punched it,they threw sparks. I got it during the summer. Sure beats the cool style of my 1978 Pontiac LeMans. PooPoo Brown,with Olds Cutlass wheels,snow studs and a trailer hitch.
Nice looking ride Nightfire.
Treasure these moments not only with your truck, but with your Dad. These are things you will never forget. HG

/\70s cars are great for cheap project cars, too bad so many have met their fate in the crusher already, and others put into demolition derby service. I mean, an Olds Delta 88 4door would be a wicked cool custom, they're too heavy to make quick without some serious balls, but a 78 Malibu on the other hand...
Nightrider, awesome truck. I'll bet it's not fast but it's fun to drive and cool. That's what's important. Congrats! -matt |
Mike |
Thats one day that will last forever in your mind. Nice little truck, your Dad sounds pretty cool. Congrats and drive safe.
Congrats Mike! It is a great feeling knowing that you got it running good, especially if your dad is with you in the cab. I had a night about like that yesterday, I had to have his help to bleed my brakes last night about 10pm. Went for a "test drive" (more like go burn rubber!), My dad hadn't driven it since I got the new tranny and several other mods done to the engine. My neighbors didn't get much sleep with how much he would put into nuetral and coast while reving it to high heaven just to see the neighbors lights come on when they tried to figure out what was driving by!

good looking truck. so when are you going to cut it up?
get them brakes fixxed, swap in a v8 and go do some donuts.

Congratulations Mike!
Very cool truck, I guess we'll be seeing you on Portage Avenue Sunday night Nice buy. |

What do you say when a friend asks – have you ever worked with Leatherette? Could you make me some wrestling trousers? Oh and by the way, the match is in a couple of days.
Luckily, the Carol pattern was perfect and my friend didn't mind having a pair of trousers called Carol.
They were easy to make except when the thread kept breaking. Luckily the helpful man in our local material shop suggested Vaseline to help the material feed through the foot – luckily it worked.
The trousers survived the match and looked fantastic.

Happy Monday!
lol..Oh no A-M...I would have been annoyed with myself too..but think of it this way..you would have been more annoyed if you hadnt ordered enough soil..then the job would not have gotten finished and that would have bothered you probably more. The pots are fab..cant wait to see pics.
Your neighbours Im sure appreciate your generosity...especially during this time of the year ...JOB WELL DONE I SAY!!! :) x
oh A-M!! You know when I read your previous post on Sunday I thought 10m3 was alot of soil for your pots as I moved and raked 12m3 on my own for our backyard (which is 20m x 13m). Just look at it this way, you'll never over order soil again :)
Your arms certainly had a good work out. Hope you got to enjoy that Dinner out!
Yes lucky neighbours alright!

New top bar beek in Houston, Texas
April 12, 2008, 11:22:09 PM »
Have been lurking on the beekeeping forums for the past 4 months or so. I had been hoping to build my own TBH, but I have been sick with several bugs that my 2.5 year old daughter has been bringing home from daycare plus I was out of commission for 2 whole weekends due to a kidney stone that took 8.5 days to pass. :shock: So, I broke down and bought a TBH from BackYardHive.com.
We spent a lot of time, $, and energy in getting our small garden plot ready as well as several fruit trees. We mainly wanted the bees for pollination and a little honey and beeswax. We also live in the middle of the city and figured a small TBH would fit in best in our surroundings. We have a fence full of jasmine that has just started blooming and one of our neighbors has some ligustrum that's getting ready to go bonkers.
I picked up my 3 lbs of bees (All Stars) from B.Weaver this morning. 3 lbs of bees is a LOT of bees to someone that's never seen more than those that come to check out the trees/flowers in the back yard. :shock: The package sat on the end of the kitchen counter until early this evening. My wife and daughter thought that was pretty cool. They sat there for about 20 minutes just watching the bees and listening to 'em buzz. They
thought it was neat to see all of the little "bee tongues" when I gave 'em a spritz of 1:1 syrup.
I made up a couple lbs of fondant and my wife had fun "painting" the beeswax onto the top bars. My daughter got in on the action by helping me take the "waxed" top bars back out to the hive. I pushed a couple of very small pieces of fondant through the hardware cloth on the bee package and the bees seemed to approve of it quite highly! :-D
It was great weather for installing the bees. 70 degrees with a very slight breeze. Put on my "bee jacket w/ veil" that I ordered from Dadant as well as some gloves. I had already pre-placed some of my tools at the hive (spray bottle, bee brush, hive tool, etc) Got the queen cage and the majority of the bees in there and the top bars and hive top back on without squashing too many of 'em and I didn't get stung! (well.. at least while installing the bees.. :-P). My wife and daughter watched from halfway across the yard. Even my wife said "Wow! That was a LOT of bees you dumped in there!" I let the bees settle down for about 30 minutes and took a peek through the window on the side of the hive - quite a few bees were already chowing down on the fondant!
I was back around in front of the garage putting up tools from putting together a sturdier top for the hive and a bee must've been crawling around on my front along my waistband... I bent over and *zap* - right on the belly! :-\ It wasn't too bad - I think the stinger actually came out when I pulled my shirt away from my skin as I didn't find it after scraping the area.
Went out to check 'em after it got dark and nearly all of the bees were in the hive.
Will check 'em in 2-3 days to be sure the queen is out.

You sound so well organized and prepared. Let me know how you like that hive from Backyardhive.com I always wanted to treat myself to one of those hives and I am almost ready to make the jump to top bar beekeeping. I was going to order one of those hives next year if everything is going well for me.
Sounds like you did not like the original top that came with the hive.
Let me know how it all goes with the hive and how you are managing it.
Also welcome to the forum here. I am going into my third year with the bees and have only 2 hives (that's all I want for now). It has truly been a challenge and I had many things go wrong, but so far have conquered each situation and the bees are doing great right now. This is a great place to learn and help others learn. I just love it when there is a problem and you can post it and get so many replies almost instantly.
Well take care and stay in touch.

Thanks for the welcome. :)
I've been planning for and reading about beekeeping and top bar hives since before Christmas. LOTS of thought and planning went into it beforehand. I wanted to be sure I didn't screw something up and end up wearing the bees on my head looking like this: :mrgreen:
The backyardhive.com TBH is a bit spendy, but it is (IMHO) very nice and appears to be well made. I really like the window as I was able to give a quick peek after installation and could see the bees feeding on the fondant.
As for the roof, the plywood used is a little on the thin side, and the backyardhive.com site recommends adding something a little more weather resistant to the top. I couldn't get my hands on any corrugated metal roofing material in time, so I just added some .5 inch solid pine to the top.

Torqued. First off, welcome to our forum!!! Isn't it great to have a place to tell your story about your hiving your bees? When we have experiences that we want to share, it is wonderful to have a great audience that listens and cares. That be us. You have prepared well for your bees, excellent. You will have many questions, always ask your questions, you will get answers here, and never think that a question will be dumb, not deserving an answer. We all too were once beginning beekeepers, it takes years and years to understand the bees, and then they throw a fling into things and we start all over, hee, hee. So nice your family is interested too. Beautiful and wonderful day in this great life we all share. Cindi

Metal roofing could get pretty noisy in the rain.
I think you did better with the wood.
Do you know how wide your top bars are?
In other words, what will the spacing be between your starter strips?
If you get a chance, during an inspection, could you measure the cell size?
I'm curious as to how long it will take for them to regress and how much they actually do regress/

It has been a week now. How are they doing in your TBH? I build one this winter as well and hope to do a split this weekend from another hive to populate it. Keep us posted on your progress. Thanks

Fresh figs are a wealth of life force, containing thousands of tiny seeds that make them a very virile and hormone-rich food. These delicate fruits are very popular in the cuisines of Europe and the Middle East, where they originated. Feel free to use any sprouted nut in the preparation of the nut kreme; pecans are my favorite.

TOKYO—Saturday afternoon the YMCA which had obtained the use of the Alaska Palace Garden, gave a tea which my daughter-in-law and I attended. The palace is now used as a library for the Diet, or Japanese parliament. It was built to resemble the central section of the Versailles Palace and the garden at the back suggests the Versailles garden with one big fountain playing as you come down the steps. The setting could not have been lovelier. We were first taken to see a tea making ceremony out of doors, which is apparently slightly different from the indoor ceremony. Then there were a number of folk dances ending with a court dance which was really a pretty sight on the garden lawn and finally a choir of young Japanese led by a young American man sang two numbers delightfully.
In the evening I went to see the American Friends Service Center to learn about their work and to talk briefly on the Human Rights Commission to a small group after supper. There is a Friends school here and the head of this school, who also runs the Center, tutors the young Japanese princes in English. She spoke with much interest about them and I hope I will have the opportunity to see the Crown Prince when he returns to New York in the autumn.
The Friends keep their identity all over the world and no matter what nationality you are with, the feel of the meeting is the same and it is a very democratic, kindly feeling.
Sunday we visited the head of the International House Association, Mr. Aisuke Kabayama. He is 88 years old and has devoted much of his life to creating better international understanding. He is a very charming, fine personality and I was very glad to meet him. Then we stopped for a minute to meet Mr. Asano and his family who had come to their gate to greet us and from there we went to the Prime Minister's country villa.
This is set in a lovely garden with the sound of the Pacific Ocean waves rolling in on a nearby beach. His daughter, Mrs. Aso, was his hostess again and we were a small party of six. This time talk flowed much more easily than it did when we dined with him. I enjoyed my visit very much and I do not wonder he likes to spend his weekends in the country, for so do I!
After visiting Kyoto I received a letter from some of the girl students of Kyoto University. It had struck me as odd when I asked why there were only 220 girl students out of an enrollment of 9000 that I was given no definitive answer, but, now that I have this letter, I understand the difficulty. In the first place, these girls say their parents feel the girls do not need higher education. If they overcome this objection, however, they still have to face the fact that the University has no girls dormitories, no facilities for them of any kind and no programs by which they can earn money to help themselves with expenses during their time at the University. They must find rooms at somebody's house. Many of the boy students have to do the same, but a Japanese house is not arranged for much privacy and girls find the situation very difficult. They ask for understanding and help from the women of America since they are trying to raise the money for a girls' dormitory and they have only 10,000 yen. They need 500 times that amount!
It does look as though the girl students had a rather difficult situation to face, doesn't it?

I guess fundamental questions relevant to any sort of disk array: 1) How to re-mirror NAS200 in case of a single disk failure? 2) How to recover data from the HDDs if the plastic-fantastic disk enclosure or quality made chinese electronics fark up? I presume buying an empty NAS200 enclosure in a couple of years time will be mission impossible, being such a speedy and bug-free product (not), the NAS200 is likely to be dropped before than TIA
The first thing I do with ANY backup device is test the failsafes. If they don't work then you have a false sense of security. Well, in an experiment here on my just purchased NAS200, I formatted as a RAID 1 then pulled the #2 drive and powered it back up. I got an e-mail notifing me that a HD had failed. I dropped the drive back into slot 2 and powered it back up. I logged onto the router and got a status that drive 2 was being rebuilt. Next morning I checked it and all was normal. Seemed fairly easy to me. It even allowed me to access the drive in slot 1 while the rebuild was going on. It required NO user actions other than dropping a drive in the housing and turning it on. All in all, I think the NAS200 was designed to be a network enabled BACKUP device, not a server like the name says. It may be slow, but it does an admirable job of keeping your data safe. Check out:http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/NAS200/Recovery Here is a cut and paste: My NAS is broken (all Leds green). This page explains how to recover a NAS200-disk on a liunx. Take one disk out and connect it to a linux-box. Boot linux and run the following commands: mdadm -A --run /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 mkdir /mnt/sdb1 mount -r /dev/md0 /mnt/sdb1 Now, the files may be accessed (read only) under /mnt/sdb1 I hope this helps
I'm trying to do something similar, but my NAS200 hasn't exactly failed. I can access the files. Linksys wants me to reformat on another system - shows they don't trust their own firmware. I'm trying to access the files in my Ubuntu 8.04 system to do a faster copy than I was able to do over the network. I don't know if I'll be able to copy back, but I think I can read. I installed the drive into the Ubuntu system. Then I tried to check it out with the partition editor (Gparted). This showed that the drive had 3 partitions, 2 formatted as xfs, and one as linux swap. Unfortunately it also said that the 2 xfs partitions were not accessible. I thought at first that this was something to do with the Raid on the NAS200 - even though I hadn't set up as raid. So I tried installing the mdadm package and following the instructions referred to in the previous post. mdadm didn't think the device was setup for raid - at least it errors about no recognizable superblock. So then I went back to the simpler possibility, and just mounted the device on /media/sdb1. Now I can read the files. So perhaps the drive was just formatted correctly by the wonderful V75 firmware. Linksys says that I'll be able to use the drive if I format it elsewhere, but that wasn't the case with the USB drive. The copy from the disk is working (using cp -dpRuv) and the problem with special characters isn't happening - which means there was something about going through the network - Samba?. And the copy is going fast. I wonder if I'll be able to copy back this way? Still, first things first. Mike
The NAS200 will automatically rebuild the array once you replace the failed disk. It will take a while though... The NAS200 uses standard tools to store the data. Any decent Linux distro should be able to recover the data if your electronics should ever go bad (unless the bad electronics are on the disk drive itself of course). You can use ext2ifs to access non-journalled drives directly from Windows, and you can use a Linux live boot CD with VMWare Server to access journalled drives. If you don't have a free SATA or eSATA port in your system, you can use a USB to SATA adapter; they're about $20. Of course, if you make backups, you don't have to worry about all that. At least not as much... ===Jac
That worked for me except that the email never was sent. But the "test" emails did fine. Mine did not indicate the drive had failed but only that it had been removed. Perhaps that is why there was no email. The rest worked as you indicated however it only works if the failed drive is drive #2. If the failure is Drive #1 the the RAID1 is "not ready" and you go nowhere. Ifd you move Drive #2 up to the first slot so it become Drive #1 the device declares the Drive as "changed" and the RAID1 is "not ready". If you then add a new Drive #2 it will then declare that both Drives are "changed" and the RAID1 is "not ready",...but it gives you the addional option of "Reset Volume" which reformats the volume and defeats the whole purpose of having a Mirror. So,..if the Drive #1 fails you are just simply screwed unless the remaining drive can be moved to another machine (Windows, Linux,...whatever it takes) to copy the data to a safe place,...then Reset the Volume and start over. But if the failure is Drive#2 then replace the drive with another drive of the same size or larger and everything seems hunky-dork aft the very slow rebuild period.
With md RAID1 arrays you don't really need to recreate the array but just mount it directly: [CODE}mount -t /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1[/CODE] This is a feature of md RAID1 arrays used to allow you to boot from a MD1 array. Obviously a boot loader won't know about RAID1, so it is made transparent to them.
I finished mirroring last night after a single disk failure in my NAS200. I used an Eagle Consus USB drive enclosure to backup my data before attempting to recover my failed drive. I wrote about it here.
Thank You Very Much!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I wanted to thank this thread for your help. I think my solution was originally posted by Mercjoe, but forgive me if I am wrong. I get so tired as an IT Professional of 18 years (Microsoft Technologies and Digital VAX Technologies mainly) of going on forums and having some jerk respond with 1). RTFM or 2). you SHOULD be able to do this... however I do not know what I am talking about because I am just a college student currently taking C++, or 3). I use this product and what you want to do is not in the manual and therefore you can not do it. My NAS200 crashed and I was unable to get to my data. I purchased a cable to connect the drives directly to my PC via USB. I was able to see the devices under Win 7 and Vista but I could not get to the mount the partitions as they are part of a Raid Array. So I decided to build a linux box using a spare laptop and knowing that the NAS200 uses Linux internally. Well I went into Unbuntu's Disk Utility (actually, I tried about 4), and while I could see the Device, It still would not let me mount the partition, and would not let me start the RAID Array as I only had the one drive. At this point I was at my wits end, until I found this thread and read the following mdadm -A --run /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 mkdir /mnt/sdb1 mount -r /dev/md0 /mnt/sdb1 I tried this, however being new to linux, I did not understand the error - unknown command on the mdadm command. I went online, found and install for the command and installed it on my machine. I then successfully issued the commands and then BINGO, the drive mounted and I am now copying the data to my external backup. Thank you for the great advice! I do appreciate it.
great advice, guys. i got an error with the mdadm command (as i'm new to it) - with this command above i managed to get my data back from the disk. just look out that you use the right disk ( sudo fdisk -l will list you all drives - the one with "linux raid autodetect" filesystem is the right one - in my case it was sdd1, because there are a few drives in my linux machine). many thanks!

Marvel of marvels, congressional leaders reached agreement (amazing thing No. 1) on a compromise budget package ahead of schedule (amazing thing No. 2). Here's your 30-second, sound-smart-at-the-holiday-party guide to what's in it — and to what happens next.
Why is the budget deal coming out now?
One of the agreements that ended the October government shutdown was that the Republican House (led by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan) and Democratic Senate (led by Washington Sen. Patty Murray) would go into a conference committee to find middle ground between the parties' budget plans. They had a deadline of this Friday, and met it.
So what's in the agreement?
The data below is compiled from reports at the Washington Post, MSNBC, and Slate. The official summary document has more specifics. Click "See the numbers" for more detail.
The main point is that sequestration — the mandatory spending cuts that went into effect when Congress couldn't reach a compromise earlier this year — gets scaled back somewhat, but not entirely. In total, it's an $85 billion adjustment to what would otherwise be in the budget, with about $1 trillion in spending for 2014 and 2015. The reduction in sequestration is split between defense and non-defense spending about evenly. [SEE THE NUMBERS]
In order to offset the increased spending, the deal agrees to raise more money by both increasing fees, including ones collected on airline tickets, and increasing the amount that federal employees (non-military and military alike) contribute to their pensions. [SEE THE NUMBERS]
What isn't in the agreement?
Things to annoy members of both parties!
Republicans are frustrated that the deal doesn't touch spending on social safety net programs like Medicare and Social Security. Democrats are annoyed (as Murray noted last night) that there are no cuts to corporate tax loopholes, and — far more importantly — that unemployment insurance for the long-term unemployed wasn't extended. [MORE ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT]
So what's next?
The House and Senate have to vote on the deal, and President Obama has to sign it. It seems likely to pass, but members of both parties have already expressed concern over the provisions. This isn't the deal that either side wanted to see (as befits any compromise), but it's also more limited in scope than many would have liked. In the words of the Los Angeles Times, there's "something for everyone to dislike."
Sen. Tom Coburn reflected one point of Republican opposition, telling Politico that the deal was "the best Paul could get, but it's not anything I can support" — because it doesn't address spending in the major safety net programs. Rep. Tim Huelskamp, from the party's far-right flank, spoke out against the deal on Twitter, because it's "sending more money to Washington with these so called fees aka TAXES."
Democrats will certainly be frustrated by that lack of an extension to unemployment insurance; several spoke out against a deal that didn't include an extension last week. But it will also be hard for Democrats to swallow cementing sequestration cuts into place over the long term. As the Post put it, "Democrats flatly got beat on sequestration."
For what it's worth, even the little bit of additional government spending is being hailed by the financial industry.
Does this herald a new era of Congressional bipartisanship and problem-solving?
Ha ha, well, probably not.
At the Post, political scientist Sarah Binder writes that she's skeptical. The deal restores "only a sliver of budgetary normalcy." Will the deal "portend additional bipartisan deals around the corner? I'm doubtful," she writes. In part because she has studied Congress for more than five minutes.
Is Paul Ryan going to use this to bolster a future presidential run?

How come Zoe dresses her clients better than herself? Is it like makeup where you can put makeup better on someone else than yourself?

Yeah I think stylistically Rachel Zoe is as hip as they come. Starting an entire fashion movement is never an easy thing. She was clever enough to see what Kate Moss was doing and capitalise on it and turn it into 'her' thing. She now has some amazing celebrity clients like Keira and Lindsay who advertise her services for her in all the fashion mags and at events. Smart cookie. I have to say though that the idea of her starting her own brand of clothing seems like a bad idea, I mean it just reeks a little too much of commericial desperation. Doing one off design work for H&M or Topshop for example would of been a better idea as it would of allowed her to keep her exclusivity. Then again it must be frustrating for Zoe to keep all her creative juices tucked up in her head, only having what other designers give her to work with ( not such a bad thing though when its Prada/Channel !)
Apperance wise Rachel Zoe is a well dressed woman with amazing eyes (that are actually an indentical colour to Nicole Richie's !) and some of the best highlights ive ever seen on a head of hair ( I wish I could see her colourist !) HOWEVER, she is in desperate need of facial attention. She needs botox injecting ASAP, for such an image conscious woman it seems strange that she hasnt tried to have something done. Im sure shes well aware of all the lines on her face, which could be the result of any number of factors, the sun, ropey diet etc That she can be forgiven for. What she cant be forgiven for however is not getting it sorted out. With the amount of money Zoe makes from her clients she surely has the dollars needed to indulge in tri monthly botox appointments. Everyone will know shes had it done but they will also commend her for it, so come on Rachel sort it out ! Last edited by chillinyo; 12-11-2006 at 07:35 AM. |

There is only Karl
It sucks some people here talk about Rachel Zoe`s need of botox all the time . Don`t forget, she`s the stylist and not the perfect star in front of the camera! Her work is done in the background! Besides her face looks like a normal face of any woman her age. And it`s sad to think these days everybody needs botox to look perfect. Besides it is her personal issue!

Rachel Zoe represents her brand and services because she chooses to appear at events like the ones above. She could be like Madonna's stylist Arianne Phillips rarely showing up at events with her clients and certainly not walking the red carpet. As Zoe does this she is open to criticism. She probably has lied about her age which is not a bad thing but even if shes nearly 50 Madonna is of a similar age and her skin is a million times better than Zoe's.

Something/Anything? Todd Rundgren Bearsville 2066 Released: February 1972 Chart Peak: #29 Weeks Charted: 48 Certified Gold: 2/26/75 If the name Todd Rundgren rings a bell, it's because he was the guiding force behind Nazz; the one-man band called Runt (he even had a hit single as Runt, "We Gotta Get You A Woman"); and the producer of Badfinger, Jesse Winchester, The Band, James Cotton and Paul Butterfield. Here on his most complete and ambitious solo project to date, Todd Rundgren comes on like the renaissance man of rock and roll. He does everything; produce, play every instrument and sing all the vocal parts. And he just doesn't do everything as a gimmick, as some others have done in the past. He combines all his talents into a cohesive, tightly knit organic entity that is bound to make Todd Rundgren the "find" of 1972. Todd's music is highly eclectic, with bits and pieces of The Beatles, Byrds, Ravel, Stephen Stills and Mothers Of Invention, all homogenized to create a distinct sound that is Todd Rundgren. On the one hand, he can be very commerical with hits like "I Saw The Light," "Couldn't I Just Tell You" and, from his Nazz days, "Hello It's Me"; while on the other hand, he delves into some interesting electronic instruments. Side 4 is a departure for Todd, for it gives him the opportunity to work within the context of a big band. The set was recorded live in the studio and has a loose, spontaneous ambiance that comes from hanging out in a studio and jamming with a bunch of friends. His unique sense of humor is also displayed on Side 4 with such songs as "Piss Aaron," "You Left Me Sore" and "Slut."
- Tara, Words & Music, 6/72. Bonus Reviews! Todd Rundgren aka Runt has been proclaimed as a rather eccentric, eclectic musical genius and this two LP set affirms that proclamation. His songs have on aura of irreverent, irrelevant little ditties while in reality they are penetratingly strident observations. The most important thing about this album is that he seems to have had a great time recording it and it is enormously fun to listen to. - Billboard, 1972. Todd Rundgren, the Renaissance Runt of Rock, has hit his stride on this second solo album, Something/Anything? He writes/sings/plays brilliantly, has mastered the whole recording/mixing process from beginning to end and projects a totally versatile, inimitable style of humor/whimsy that is very winning. There are lots of Carole King sounds, Latin inflections and soft textures here, but also rinky-tink pianos, hard rock and phony Motown, early Sixties Beatles, you name it. The vocal tracks are marvelous -- all performed and arranged by Rundgren -- and there are crazy bits of studio talk left in, particularly in the preposterous suite "Messin' with the Kid," which features such numbers as "Piss Aaron," "Some Folks Is Even Whiter Than Me" and "You Left Me Sore." Unlike most artists who indulge their urge to whimsy, Rundgren makes his an integral part of these two discs. And you keep listening because it works. - Playboy, 7/72. - Cameron Crowe, Rolling Stone, 12/15/77. I don't trust double albums, especially when all sixteen cuts on three sides were laid down by the singer-composer-producer and all seven on the fourth by a studio pickup band. But this has the feel of a pop masterpiece, and feel counts. The many good songs span styles and subjects in a virtuoso display that runs from the evanescent "I Saw the Light" to a true tale of high-school grossouts called "Piss Aaron." And the many ordinary ones are saved by Todd's confidence and verve. The studio pickup side, for instance, gains genuine meaning from his tongue-in-cheek notes ("I drafted it into some sort of operetta, that kind of thing being very popular nowadays"). Studio games that would infuriate me on sombody else's record add context here. And his perpetual adolescence in winningly lyrical and winningly snide, though rarely at the same time. A- - Robert Christgau, Christgau's Record Guide, 1981. From beginning to end, Something/Anything? is Rundgren's best album, featuring the hit singles "I Saw the Light," and "Hello, It's Me." There are also a load of gems like "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference," "Wolfman Jack," and "Couldn't I Just Tell You?," one of the finest power-pop tracks ever cut. Rundgren plays every instrument and sings all the parts on three-fourths of this self-produced release. Even though Rundgren had flashes of brilliance after Something/Anything?, he never came up with an album with performances and material as consistently satisfying. * * * * - Rick Clark, The All-Music Guide to Rock, 1995. Roundly considered one of rock's more important albums, the double-CD extravaganza Something/Anything? is a landmark work, filled with lovely pop confection, pristine production and a lighthearted sense of humor. Rundgren performs and sings the first three-quarters of the album, a nervy feat that's still breathtaking to behold. Those looking for the hits will find them here ("I Saw the Light," "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference," "Hello, It's Me") along with a host of stellar though lesser-known treasures ("Torch Song" and "Breathless"). * * * * * - Christopher Scapelliti, Musichound Rock: The Essential Album Guide, 1996. When Todd Rundgren created Something/Anything?, he knew 1972 was make-it-or-break-it time. He'd pounded out Who-inspired power chords for the Nazz and boogied with Woody's Truck Stop, released two piano-driven solo LPs under the name Runt, and engineered for the Band, but stardom eluded this Philly-born twenty-three-year-old overachiever. So he played every instrument on three sides of a double album, recorded the fourth side live in the studio with a few friends and conquered every popular-music idiom from hard rock to singer-songwriter schmaltz. The resulting mishmash snuck into the Top Thirty on the backs of two sweet blue-eyed-soul smashes, "I Saw the Light" and "Hello It's Me," the latter a smooth rerecording of a Nazz single Rundgren penned as a teen. Although he would later experiment with sounds, song structures, time signatures and the studio itself, here the restless whiz kid plays primarily with melody and style. Whether bouncing through the Motown pastiche of "Wolfman Jack," crying into the resigned croon of "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" or dedicating the silly Gilbert and Sullivan-esque ditty "Song of the Viking" to then-unknown ex-girlfriend Patti Smith, Rundgren tosses off perfectly composed tunes. Yet their anxious delivery told future cult followers that this flamboyant mood-swinger was not to be dismissed as a mere craftsman. While practically inventing power pop on "Couldn't I Just Tell You," Rundgren nearly breaks down on the verses, ascending eight miles high for the heaven-sent chorus. The guitar soloing on "Black Maria" bleeds virtuosity and madness. You can hear him discovering his voice's strength and beauty -- and the tempo inconsistencies, elementary bass lines and fumbled percussion tempers the hubris that would later overpower him. After Something/Anything?, Rundgren landed hot-shit production gigs for Grand Funk Railroad and the New York Dolls, but his newfound AM-radio audience expected more lite pop. The schism spooked the would-be superstar, who dropped acid, out-glammed Bowie, embraced synths and Eastern spirituality, and fronted a band of prog-rock freaks capable of sending King Crimson back to music school. Dozens of bizarrely varied albums and producer credits followed, but Something/Anything? remains this do-everything talent's best-selling, most-enduring work because it's born of desperation. Rundgren simply had to become a star, and although he didn't like the results, what got him there will remain loved. - Barry Walters, Rolling Stone, 2/15/01. Pop obsessive one-man band and whiz-kid Rundgren, a restless creator never content to do the same thing twice, sang and played every track on three out of four sides of this inpired, experimental, diverse double album, better yet, he wrote brilliant, enduring songs like "Hello, It's Me," in the ranks of Brian Wilson, and the result is a truckload of pure pop bliss. * * * * * - Zagat Survey Music Guide - 1,000 Top Albums of All Time, 2003.
Something/Anything? was chosen as the 173rd greatest album of all time by the editors of Rolling Stone magazine in Dec. 2003. - Rolling Stone, 12/11/03. A photo on the inside cover art of Todd Rundgren's third post-Nazz LP, Something/Anything?, features Rundgren alone in a room packed with equipment, guitar strapped to his shoulder, arms flung wide, and hands flashing victory signs. That about sums up the album. Rundgren produced Something/Anything?, played every instrument, did all the vocals on 19 of the 25 tracks, and wrote all the songs with the exception of the two songs in a medley and "Dust In The Wind." The result is an album that stands as Rundgren's zenith both commercially and critically. "Hello It's Me," one in a series of gorgeous ballads that dot Rundgren's career, is his highest charting single, peaking at No. 5, and the album stayed on the charts for many months. Other songs, the sorrowful and beautiful "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference," the hard-rocking "Black Maria," and pop wonders like "Couldn't I Just Tell You," present a mastery of different styles almost unparalleled in popular music. The musicianship, particularly Rundgren's guitar work in songs like "Black Maria," is top-notch. This is Rundgren's most compelling work. In a career rife with experimentation and littered with confounded audience expectations, it offered no hint that he would turn his back on commercial aspirations in the wake of his newfound success. But Something/Anything? was a critical and commercial success that could sustain any artist for a good long while. - Jaime Welton, 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, 2005. When a pop auteur sequesters himself in the studio intending to record every last squib himself, sometimes what comes out is a big ugly mess. And sometimes the result is a dizzying tour de force á la Something/Anything?, the most enduring statement from songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and conceptualist Todd Rundgren. Without him, pop of the 1970s would have been less melodic, and far less trippy. Rundgren's many influences take turns in the spotlight of this twenty-five-song tome -- depending on the track, he's a Beatles disciple or a musician with a psychedelic jones, a student of AM radio or a singer who, having grown up in Philadelphia, totally gets blue-eyed soul. It's clear, from the start, that he's aiming high: The George Harrison-influenced opener "I Saw the Light" is a radiant single, and one of several pieces here ("Hello It's Me" is another) built around a lilting keyboard phrase. The remaining songs aren't a string of similar attempts at singles -- there are grand stylistic lunges and wacky detours ("The Night the Carousel Burnt Down") and several roaring numbers that force Rundgren to bring in a band, and a blustery horn section. Though Rundgren made lots of records after this one -- both as a solo artist and the leader of the studiously progressive Utopia -- he never distilled his influence as compellingly again. But he continued to make a contribution as a producer: Thank Rundgren for the party-time blast that is Grand Funk Railroad's We're an American Band and the ornate theatricality of Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell, and for the tremendous British art-pop pathfinders XTC on their best late album, Skylarking. - Tom Moon, 1,000 Recordings To Hear Before You Die, 2008. comments powered by Disqus |

Oprah: Don't you hate to lose?
Lance: Yes, but if you get beat but you didn't make any mistakes and your preparation was perfect, then you realise that someone else was just better. I think I can live with that.
That's what he told her, anyway, back in 2004. As we all know now, the possibility that someone might just be better was the one thing Lance Armstrong could not endure.
It remains to be seen how candid he might be about his idea of "perfect" preparation when he again sits down with Oprah Winfrey, on Friday. Perhaps he will say deceit was pervasive, not personal; that in such a toxic environment, no rival was ever going to be "just better".
It wasn't cheating, Oprah. It was anger. Here I was, born with this gift, this fight in me, that has helped me through far bigger challenges than getting my butt up a mountain – I don't want to talk about it here, Oprah, but I think you know what I'm talking about. And all around people were not trying to outshine me, but to quench that flame. It made me mad. But not that mad. I trusted my team, in good faith, to protect my talent from those cynical, destructive forces – to meet them on the margin. I only ever wanted to beat them. Not join them.
Cycling is one of those sports where a common plateau of technical ability leaves the elite instead depending on something within. Some of those reserves are measurable, according to dieticians and physios and sleep analysts – not to mention the guy who stocks the fridge – but the athletes themselves cherish the idea that the ultimate difference is innate, intangible.
And that is why the last, desp- erate frontier they recognise is not right or wrong, but the precipice beyond any sane capacity for anguish and endurance. Understandably enough, they always treat that step into the void as a human triumph – never as a superhuman, pharmacological one.
So the whole messy business is about storytelling: what the athlete tells himself; what he tells Oprah; what we tell posterity. Each represents the same events in a different way, each in different degrees distorted by personal or corporate delusion: "I may have made a mistake, but I am not guilty"; "We may be at fault – or at least those representing the standards of our society, in testing protocols and so on – but he is guilty."
At the moment baseball is busy trying to anticipate history's judgement on a generation of stars tainted by rumoured steroid abuse. Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and various contemporaries – their names polluted either by hearsay, or as helpless footnotes to the asterisks against the men they played with – were this week blackballed from the Hall of Fame. For the first time since 1996, the envelope opened at the ceremony contained a blank sheet.
Needing 75 per cent approval, Bonds and Clemens did not muster even 40 per cent. Some believe they merit induction even on their early achievements, and that it is sanctimonious and vindictive to banish men reckoned, by some, respectively the greatest hitter and pitcher of their day. Every era had its aberrations, after all. Bonds completed 762 home runs. Babe Ruth hit 714 without ever facing a black pitcher.
Bonds and Clemens can stay on the ballot another 14 years, and may yet be shown clemency. True, voters must consider not just a player's record and ability, but his "integrity, sportsmanship, character". But Marvin Miller, late boss of the players' union, once pronounced the Hall of Fame to be "full of villains" – right down to members of the Ku Klux Klan.
Just as press and media are now enjoying open season on Armstrong, when only a handful had the guts to pursue him in his bullying, litigious pomp, so the baseball scribes who stand sentry to Cooperstown must first have felt duped, and now avenged. Any cheats out there will have got what they deserved – which, funnily enough, is all their apologists say they might vaguely have tried to secure.
Admission to a Hall of Fame gives a pleasingly literal quality to themes of consecration and violation. To some, his return to Oprah does the same for Armstrong in a cheaper register, ritualising his fall from grace in a shrine of shallow glamour and emotion. In such an environment, Armstrong may yet try to absolve himself of decisions made in a more rarefied atmosphere – one where the oxygen, Oprah, is thinner than on any Pyrenean pass. But the testimony of other cyclists has made quite plain that their choice seemed perfectly clear.
Back in 2004, Oprah told Armstrong: "You were born with the thing that makes you stick, Lance. No one can teach you that. You come with your own nature, and then your environment nurtures whatever that is. You want to go into the pain, into the climb. That's who you are."
"That's true," replied Armstrong. And, even if he thought fleetingly about the "nurture" available in his environment, he must have thought that the perfect ending to his story.

The other guy was right, your's was better. Times ten. Times, many. It was wonderfully drawn and flowed together most of the time wonderfully.

Separatist Revival Raising Quebec Costs: Canada Credit
Hugo MillerQuebec's borrowing costs are rising as independence once again becomes an election issue in Canada's second largest and most indebted province.
Quebec Premier Pauline Marois called this week for an election on April 7 in a bid to turn her minority government into a majority, renewing speculation she will press for a referendum on splitting from Canada. The spread, or extra yield demanded by investors, on Quebec's 10-year bond over debt from neighboring Ontario has widened 7 basis points to 17 basis points since the Quebec bond was issued in December, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. The spread has widened three basis points since the start of last week.
Investors aren't "necessarily comfortable with the added political risks on top of the risks that have been associated on an ongoing basis," David Watt, chief economist at the Canadian unit of HSBC Holdings Plc., said by telephone yesterday from Toronto. "So they lighten up on Quebec a bit, and move into Ontario."
It would be the third plebiscite on independence in the predominantly French-speaking province since 1980. Quebec came within 54,000 votes of a majority in favor of independence in a 1995 referendum. Separatist sentiment has since cooled and has been stalled in the 30 percent range in recent years.
Debt Burden
Quebec has about C$210 billion ($190 billion) of debt, including C$24 billion that matures this year and next, second only to Ontario's C$284 billion, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. As a percentage of gross domestic product, Quebec led all 10 provinces at 60.9 percent, according to Travis Shaw, an analyst at DBRS Ltd. in Toronto. Prince Edward Island is second at 42.6 percent and Ontario, third, with 41.6 percent.
DBRS rates Quebec A-high with a stable trend, below Ontario's AA (low) rating and Alberta's AAA rating. While the Quebec budget proposed by Marois's minority government is not expected to pass in Quebec's National Assembly, "right now we have no reason to change the trend" outlook, Shaw said. DBRS will review its evaluation of the province after the election when the fiscal plan that emerges is clearer, he said.
Broader measures in Canadian financial markets show less concern that Marois's separatist Parti Quebecois may have enough support to form its first majority government in more than a decade.
The Standard & Poor's/TSX Composite Index reached a five-year high this week, while the Canadian dollar strengthened for two consecutive days versus its U.S. counterpart.
Ratings Outlook
The loonie, as Canada's currency is known for the image of the aquatic bird on the C$1 coin, gained 0.4 percent to C$1.0985 per U.S. dollar yesterday in Toronto and touched C$1.0956, the strongest since Feb. 19. One loonie buys 91.03 U.S. cents.
"I wouldn't pay too much attention for now," Barbara Lambert, who helps manage C$24 billion as a senior portfolio manager at Addenda Capital Inc., said yesterday by telephone from Montreal. "It's more the finances and what the rating agencies think, and whether they are going to meet their target, that's going to drive that spread."
The election and prospect of a referendum is the latest event in Quebec to unsettle investors. Quebec Finance Minister Nicolas Marceau last month proposed changes to the province's Business Corporations Act to protect Quebec-based companies against hostile takeover bids.
Montreal, home to Air Canada and Canadian National Railway Co., has seen the number of top 500 Canadian companies based in Quebec's largest city decline to 75 in 2011 from 96 in 1990, according to the Fraser Institute, a Canadian research organization.
'Typical Phenomenon'
Thirty-seven percent of respondents in a March 5 poll by Léger Marketing said they would back Parti Quebecois if an election were held now, compared with 35 percent for the Liberal Party. That result may be enough for the separatists to form a majority government, TVA reported.
"People are looking at a majority as a likely outcome," said Andrew Kelvin, a senior fixed-income strategist with TD Securities Inc. in Toronto. "It's a typical phenomenon you will see around political events in Quebec."
Achieving the goal of independence will be tougher. Support for sovereignty in the same Leger poll was 34 percent, with 49 percent opposed, 15 percent undecided.
Open Agenda
"We want to keep the agenda open," Marois said yesterday in Drummondville, Quebec, the Globe and Mail reported. "If a referendum is needed we will take the time to stop and listen to people's opinions."
If Marois wins a majority, investors' reaction will hinge on how she interprets the victory, said Jonathan Lemco, a senior analyst with Valley Forge, Pennsylvania-based Vanguard Group Inc. and author of a book on the sovereignty movement "Turmoil in the Peaceable Kingdom."
"If she says this is a mandate for sovereignty, then there will be mild concern in our market and there will be a little bit of bond spread widening," Lemco said. Vanguard manages about $750 billion in fixed-income securities, including U.S.- dollar denominated Quebec debt.

Water Intake Valve Repalcement Part
Model Number: MLE2000AYW Brand: Maytag Age: More than 10 years
I ordered a replacement water intake valve part from you. I'm trying to install it, but it doesn't seem to be the right configuration. I sent Crystal photos today. Hopefully, you can refer to those while reading this. The part you sent (#AP4026599) has 4 feeds + a middle, up pointing feed. On your part, all 4 feeds have the same, simple two pronged inputs. On the part I'm trying to replace, the two inputs on the right side, which hook up to hoses, are configured differently to also each accept two, thin, black wires you see in the photos. If you blow up the part picture you have on your site, the two feeds I'm referring to are on the left of the screen. In other words, while the part you sent has the required prongs on all feeds for the white plug ins, the 2 (not counting the middle input) that also connect to hoses have no means to accommodate reconnection of the black wires. Do I have the wrong part? Is there some adapting part for this? I just tried to attach the photos - maybe too many times. If so, my apologies. Related Models |

I Figured It Out . . .
I was afraid to try to disengage the black wires because I thought they might have been welded on. I finally tried pulling them off and realized that they go into the two prongs on each of the inputs that attach to hoses and that the housing for the black wires have underprongs that allow for the dual attachment . . . now if I can just get the machine back together I should be fine . . . Thanks for your help and sorry to have bothered you.

text: The basis for the material in this book centers around a long term research project with autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle systems. One of the main research topics in the project is knowledge representation and reasoning. The focus of the research has been on the development of tractable combinations of approximate and nonmonotonic reasoning systems. The techniques developed are based on intuitions from rough set theory. Efforts have been made to take theory into practice by instantiating research results in the context of traditional relational database or deductive database systems. This book contains a cohesive, self-contained collection of many of the theoretical and applied research results that have been achieved in this project and for the most part pertain to nonmonotonic and approximate reasoning systems developed for an experimental unmanned aerial vehicle system used in the project. This book should be of interest to the theoretician and applied researcher alike and to autonomous system developers and software agent and intelligent system developers.

The Dorcas Centre visual identity – Burkina Faso
Posted by rod - 21.03.2013The Dorcas Centre was setup by Elizabeth Oubda as a educational facility to help women in poverty in and around Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. To attract global funders, the centre was in need for a visual identity that represented the local people and focused on the positive work done at the centre.
London based design studio Confederation was commissioned to create the visual identity who were inspired by local patterns. The patterns which make up most of the identity originate from the traditional paintwork called Gourounsi which are found on many of the houses around the city. The contemporary, black and white traditional pattern was applied to various applications, such as printed and digital material.

And now the word is swirling...
Funny things is, for all the postseaon crap Peyton got, Brady should be getting the same. Remember, pre SPYGATE bust he was 9-0 in the postseason, 3-0 in the Superbowl.
Brady completes less than 25% of passes over 20 yards. He's great at throwing 5 yard passes that his receivers and RBs turn into 20+ yard gains.Great quotesBrady's record against Manning has been puffed up by home field advantage. In 15 meetings, 9 have been in Foxborough.
The same thing can be said for Brady's overall post season record. Between his last two trips to Denver in the postseason (both of which he lost, BTW), Brady has played every single postseason game at Gillette save for the Super Bowls (which he lost). Notice the theme here?
Brady's postseason road record sucks, and since 2005, his postseason home record isn't all that great either.
What a dumb article, it's clearly an author trying to jump on the bandwagon of "lets blame Brady" for New England's lack of Championships since 2004.
Look at this Patriot team, and tell me you thought they could make it to the AFC Championship game? Majority of people would have said no..
They have wide receivers that can be mistaken for Mortgage Brokers, a tight end who seems to get injured at the most pivotal time of the season, another tight end who's got a murder charge against him.
Yesterday's game was his 8th AFC Conference Championship game of his career. Let me say it again, 8... 5 times been to the Super Bowl, and won 3 of them with 2 Super Bowl MVP's. He could retire today and his legacy will be next to the other all-time greats in Canton.
As for the criticism Peyton has taken in the playoffs in his career, it was deservingly so. Before the season his record was 9-11, so criticism should be warranted.
See this is it. While Brady gets all the excuses in the world, Peyton gets blasted. Its team Peyton vs team Patriots. That is why I consider Peyton the better QB. It is Peytons offense, while Brady runs Belichicks offense.
There is no denying the feats Brady and Manning have accomplished, but making excuses for Brady is ridiculous when Peyton is getting blamed for every loss in his postseason career. Its a double standard.
You just roll with the stereotype. Brady is 8-8 in his last 16 postseason games AFTER SPYGATE. BEFORE SPYGATE he was 9-0 in the playoffs. In those 3 SB runs, he had a great defense, and running game. Since not so much, and he hasnt won a championship since and has been 8-8 in the postseason. Peyton is now 11-11 and working on championship #2.
I agree, the article is probably overkill, but it isnt that far off in recent years. Recently, Peyton has been better than Brady in the postseason.

I hope they paint it as well!!
Looks like the geek group will be converting a Lotus Espirit to electric!!
Should drum up quite a bit of interest. As well as the new generation! (my generation) Since that is their target audience after all.
WOW, it's been quite a while since I've been on here.... Gotta get on more often!
I hope they paint it as well!!

Doesn't the Lotus Esprit already have an electric drive system, for when it is in submarine mode?
That's exactly the challenge: when you engage electric drive, the wheels fold away. Not pleasant on your driveway, and even more so on the highway. The Esprit's electric motor drives only the rear propellers (not visible on the image by Only2Jakes), not the wheels. But granted, conversion won't be much of a task, with the electrics already in place. Just reroute the propeller shafts to the rear wheels and block the wheel folding mechanism. Even I could do it...
