By Rob Kelly
Theo Walcott says that his recent run of sparkling form is down to playing without fear.
The 23-year-old scored his 11th goal of the season in Wednesday night's 3-0 victory at Wolves and has earned a host of plaudits for his superb recent performances.
Walcott says he is flowing with confidence after overcoming the injury problems that afflicted him earlier in his career.
"I'm 23 now and I am still growing. I am not afraid of getting hurt," he told Arsenal Player. "A few years ago I had shoulder injuries, ankle problems and back problems and that was just me learning the other side of the game.
"Now I am just going into games and enjoying myself, not being scared of anything. The manager always tells me not to be afraid going into tackles. I am a totally different Theo Walcott now.
"We are playing great football and it's nice to be part of that and not on the treatment table."

SiG has 2 poly's currently available.
I've fired the SiG P250 in .40 as well as 9mm but chose to own a SiGPro 2022 in 9mm (also available in .40 and .357SIG - no conversions available between calibers in this model series). It simply felt better in my hands and won out (after several years of "test driving") over all the polymer frame handguns I tried. USP, M&P, Glocks, P2000, XD and all the rest. Some had features I liked, many had features I did not. None of them had "everything" for me to consider it a "be all, end all" epitomy of polymer frames. The SP had the best overall fit and feel for my hands, came in a caliber that is my personal preference (and most proficient with) in 9mm and I got a sweet deal ($) on a German produced French contract overrun.

I am a practical shooter, not of the bullseye persuasion, but I've loaded and shot a whole lot of .45 ACP ammunition.
First, the "little milled extension coming off the back edge of barrel that the bolt face contacts" is called the barrel hood.
Please don't confuse it with Robin Hood, or even Little Red... Well, you get the idea.
Second, the .45 ACP case is supposed to headspace on the cartridge mouth, and it does, but if you make the cartridge quite a bit too short, it will still work properly. This is because the 1911 pistol features "controlled feed." That is, the cartridge being stripped out of the magazine slides up the slide's breechface and under the extractor claw long before it ever fully chambers. If the cartridge is too short, it will actually "headspace" on the extractor claw! The extractor will hold it in its proper position as you prepare to fire it.
Third, bullet-seating depth is a function of reliable feeding from the magazine, as well as cartridge length. As you have surmised, case length is more important, in terms of function. (Accuracy is another thing entirely.) But a cartridge loaded so that the bullet impinges upon the rifling at the barrel's throat may be too long to feed reliably, or, for that matter, to even enter the magazine at all. So overall cartridge length is also functionally quite important.
Fourth, if your loaded and taper-crimped cartridges drop down into the chamber of their own weight, when the barrel is held at less than vertical, that is absolutely correct. If the rearmost flat surface of the cartridge's head is right at, or ever so slightly below, the end of the barrel hood, that, too, is correct. Chamber length will vary, from barrel to barrel. The trim-to dimensions given are supposed to assure that the cartridges will fit any .45 ACP barrel. The difference between a trim-to length of 0.888" and one of 0.893" is only five thousandths of an inch, so either one will work, probably in any barrel. (I have never had to trim a .45 case, even after repeated reloadings, since they are grossly understressed, and do not stretch.)
Last, the .45 ACP cartridge is extremely forgiving. Even if shooting bullseye competition, case- and cartridge-length are not things to obsess over, as long as both are within the normally-accepted plus-and-minus limits. As long as your cases and bullets are consistent, and your powder is measured accurately, you will be OK. Consistency is the most important aspect of loading for accuracy.

effective travel
okay so coilovers and air shocks range anywhere from 12-20" of travel. wondering waht is anyone who knows actual effective travel on their rig? doesnt matter what type of setup you are running im just wondering. Was quoted by a friend that his xj buggy had 21" actual with an 16" coilover. just traying to guge what i actually need for both my xj and my buggy build.

that is the plan just tyring to get a basic idea. see where it binds, limit strap it just before it binds and then buy shocks.... then the great debate of air, ori, coils begins

not a debate. it comes down to what you can afford and what amount of time you want to put into them for tuning.
cheapest and easiest = air shocks
bling and easy to tune= ori
most tunable if you have the knowledge, time and coin = coilovers

Effective travel depends on A) how and where you mount the shocks and B) What you define wheel travel as...
A single wheel can more more up and down in articulation, than the complete axle can move up and down. This depends a lot of the width of the axle/tire/wheel combo
Axle travel (both wheels moving up/down the same amount, like in a jump), for a vertically mounted shock would be: Inches of shock travel * (distance from LCA frame pivot to axle centerline / distance from LCA frame pivot to lower shock mount).
The shock spring rates and damping ratios will be reduced by the same factor that shock travel is increase by, if the above ratio is not 1:1

i was looking more at articulation travel. lets say for an example what the 8.5" of travel a 6" lift shock on an xj would give me. i can do the math but more looking at what real world people have and actually think they use is

pretty much that.
here is my $.02. Also, when I say "shock", I mean air shock or coilover or whatever your spring/damper system is.
It all comes down to how close the shock mounts to the wheel, and the shock angle in relationship to the "swing arc" of the axle.
General rules-
The more upright and close you can package the shock to the wheel, the easier it is to tune the shock consistantly.
The more you "lean" a shock over, the harder it will be to tune the shock, unless you really oversize the shock body to compensate for higher heat, load changes in relation to swing arc, etc.
IMO, the ideal mounting angle for the shock is perfectly perpendicular in relationship to the swing/arc of the axle. A good and easy example is almost every trailing arm setup ever. The constant arc angle makes the shock more repeatable and easier to tune through the entire swing of the axle.
As far as location of the shock in relation to the wheel, the closer you get it to the wheel, the less load the shock will see (to keep it simple). That means you can get away with a smaller shock body and the loads are again, more predicable and stable, especially with side-hill type vehicle loads. This is somewhat contracticory to the trailing arm example, but you have to remember that trailing arms setups are
1)designed for max travel and fast moving components (shock mounted on the axle in go fast trucks just wont survive the heat)
2) designed for people who can throw serious coin at big body shocks.
3) not designed for side hill stability
But, of course you can go too far. You want to use every single inch of the shock body because of the way it is valved. You need to used the fully compressed oil/air at full bump, and you want to have it less compressed at full droop. If you are only using 2/3 of the travel of your shock, it will be extremely frustrating to tune because you don't get to the use the "extremes" of the valving.

Articulation travel of the tire = Shock Travel * (Distance from tire to axle midpoint / distance from lower shock mount to axle midpoint).
But that assumes you have good shock geometry, suspension geometry, no tire interference, etc. Can be hard to actually achieve that. And thats assuming the axle pivots around its center, which it doesn't always. Depends how its loaded, and the links used.
For example, if a shock is mounted 24" out from the center of the vehicle, and the outside edge of the tire is 40" out from the center of the vehicle, then if you had a total of 14" of travel, then your tire could in theory move in an arc of about 23". But that depends on so many factors of the suspension design, how much up and down travel you have in the shock, binding in the steering, suspension joints, driveshaft, brake lines, yadda yadda..
Your bigger concerns will be how to fit the shocks and not have them hit anything at full stuff and droop. Especially on an XJ. Coilivers are wider than air shocks, getting them spaced out to not pull into the frame, or have the tire come up and hit them can be a challenge in an existing vehicle. Wider axles makes a big difference.

thanks for all the input that math makes sense and makes working with rather easy. i did a little research and based n my math my 3" lift shocks are capable of approximately 11.6" of travel in prefect conditions. granted the leave and other factors are limiting me. but by my calculations if i swith to a 4 link i can run a 9" coilover and still have more flex than i currently have. it should in theory give me closer to 13" of travel. as far as limitations my leaf springs are all that limit me right now. im not shy with the sawzall lol

now on the front end i have a lot to work out. im limitted by my inner fenders as well as the short arms hitting hte spring bucket (due to this bind i literally have no droop) and my up travel i know is only 6" before im stuffed to the point that i cant move. so that needs to be modified this winter. thinking the 9" coilover should make my front end more versitile as well. not looking for this to be a bounty hill rig or anything insane just would like to flex smoother and be able to run big ugly and hump and have fun with her
thanks again.
bigb do u ever get limitted by the 14's??

I'm running 12" air shocks front and rear. I don't know that I have been limited very much and I don't need tons of up travel for high speed stuff. I'm set up for 4" up travel & 8" down travel. I bump it up to about 5" up travel for the dunes.

Re: Beneteau 351??
Well, let's hear about your furling main then! What's the problem?
Re: Beneteau 351??
Yup. I have a 351 and I try never to sleep on the table in the salon. I'm designing and building a new table that will sit lower so the cuchions will be level and not require you to visit the chiropractor the next day. I did try it once but it's way to uncomfortable however the rum and girlfriend made it easier.
Good luck. Oh and I have had no issues with the engine as of yet. Knock on wood. But the self furling main is a entirely different story!!!
Re: Beneteau 351??
That table look familiar. Our 361 has the same set up, but I believe ours sits better in the lowered position. It still does not make a completely flush surface with the inserted filler cushion. Just like Paul has stated, it is used mostly by one only and is not considered a double although some might advertise it as a double, its not. The person lounging there is at hook or in the slip and is very comfortable. Underway it can be used as a sea berth on Port Tack and for me when I come off a 4-hour watch cranky, cold, wet and tired it is very comfortable.
Re: Beneteau 351??
So, original post in 2002. Then 8 years later, the thread gets revived and there's finally a response. And now, more than two and a half years after that, the thread gets revived once again. This may be a record for a thread brought back from the dead.
To repeat, in the future, capnJudd, it would be much better to start your own, new thread, since this is a new and different question. Even if the thread were only a year old, it would be better to start a new one. When the thread is more than ten years old, very DEFINITELY better to start a new one!
Good luck getting an answer to your question. Sorry I can't help with that.

Why is this advice specific to 351/352? Is it the installation in the hull that presents an issue?
Maybe that came out a little harsher than I intended. There seems to be general consensus among owners that have experience with both the Perkins model M30 (Perama-M30) & the Yanmar model 3GM30F that the Yanmar is the better choice. I don't know if it is parts availability (which could be a local issue), ease of maintenance, overall reliability or some combination of all three. I'm not telling you to avoid the Perkins. I'm just saying that, given a choice, the Yanmar is the preferred power plant.
I have noticed that brokers, and owners, tend to misidentify which model they have. Throw in the occasional French made units with the US made and it can get confusing. The European made boats tend to have the galley spread out along the length of the boat's port side.
As I see it, the US made Oceanis 352 is basically the same boat as the Oceanis 351. Beneteau used the `97 thru `99 model years the as a test bed for design elements that eventually were adopted in the 361 and they called it the 352 for marketing purposes.
Our boat is used as a cruiser and has a crew-of-two most of the time. We often day sail with guests but typically cruise 7-21 days at a time by ourselves. I often take it out alone with little difficulty. We love the boat.
I race on a vintage Pearson Flyer. The differences between a lean & mean vs. the family cruiser became obvious immediately. The 351/352 only has two winches located on the cabin-top for all sail trimming duties. This can be kinda awkward for people who are not used to having the main sheet and Genoa sheets sharing just two winches. It is can be even more problematic for sailors who maneuver the boat while alone in the cockpit. (i.e.: you have to leave the wheel to reach any/all of the sail handling sheets.)
Another item to be aware of is the prop-walk when in reverse at idle/very low RPM's. You learn to embrace & use it as a tool or curse it and spend thousands trying different props that mitigate it.
At the end of the day, I would have preferred to get an Oceanis 361 (Genoa winches near the wheel) but they wanted way too much money for that model boat while a late model 352 had basically the same interior layout.
Re: Beneteau 351??
Thanks for the info about the salon table. It looks like a very UNslick piece of design work. Not what I would expect from Beneteau.

Why is this advice specific to 351/352? Is it the installation in the hull that presents an issue?
Re: Beneteau 351??
There is nothing that you are doing wrong. When you have placed the insert filler cushions, they are pretty level with the leading edge of the seat cushions. It just doesn't form a smooth, flat sleeping surface.
We have a couple throw-pillows aboard that we use to fill the low areas. This berth space is seldom used. When it is, the sleeper is usually so tired that they're happy to be anywhere that is kinda soft.
As a side note . . . I'm pretty sure that table design was introduced with the Beneteau Oceanis 352 model in 1997. I know the 351 salon table was supported with an additional two legs under the table. The 352 table design had to be supported by the lower compartments. The "knee" egde of the seat cushions does match the height of the filler cushions. The problem is the "butt" position of the seat cushion slopes downward.
The 351 was replaced by the 352 in `97 and was replaced by the 361 after the `99 model year. Mine was one of the last off the line as the 361 model started production. If given a choice, avoid any 351/352 powered by a Perkins diesel.
Re: Beneteau 351??
Good picture. Houston, we have a problem. Definitely not for your touchy sleeper! Hopefully a 351 or 331 (same table) owner will chime in, but I think you may have already found your answer. Have you checked on any Beneteau boards?
Re: Beneteau 351??
I have been on board and wrestled with the table (with the help of the broker)
and we could not figure it out. I also took pictures, and you can see the most
revealing one here: tinyurl(dot)com/b4bat46 (Copy this and change '(dot)' to '.')
Notice how the tabletop does not fit into the hole of the settees. There is a good
3 cm lump there that would be really ummm... amazing to sleep on!

text: Hello guys. I just got a great deal on a 930WF in Max4. Never had a semiauto before but doing a little research some require a slight break in. I picked up some different loads today to try out and was wondering what you all thought? It's the 28" barrel model which I am assuming should be able to cycle the light loads. I also have 10 rounds of 3" 00 buckshot which I will fire first I think to loosen that spring up a bit. Any other loads you all recommend?

Joe Biden concedes middle class has been 'buried' last 4 years
posted at 12:21 pm on October 3, 2012 by Howard Portnoy
"We will bury you!" Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev said in 1956, referring to western "colonialism." "We did bury you," Vice President Joseph Biden said 56 years later, referring to the American middle class.
Although Biden, the living and breathing gaffe machine that is a heartbeat away from the presidency, tried to walk back his comment, it is out there. CBS News reports that Biden was speaking to about 1,000 people in Charlotte. His gift to the Republican campaign was wrapped in the myth that GOP challenger Mitt Romney, if elected, would cut taxes for millionaires and raise them for middle-class families. In reaction to that non-existent plan he said:
This is deadly earnest. How they can justify raising taxes on a middle class that has been buried the last four years? How in Lord's name can they justify raising their taxes with these tax cuts? [Emphasis added]
If Biden's boss had been standing by, he would have doubtless slapped his forehead and reminded Biden he had been running the country, and hence was responsible for the fortunes of the middle class, during the period when that vast segment of the populace was interred.
This is another BFD, and the opposition is all over it. Romeny tweeted that "the middle class has been buried the last 4 years, which is why we need a change in November."
His running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, said at rally in Burlington, Iowa, that middle-class families have indeed been "buried" by Obama policies. These, he told the crowd, have stunted the recovery and economic growth, noting that a Romney presidency is the solution:
We need to stop digging by electing Mitt Romney the next president of the United States. Of course the middle class has been buried. They're being buried by regulations; they're being buried by taxes; they're being buried by borrowing. They're being buried by the Obama administration's economic failures.
Former New Hampshire governor and Romney surrogate John Sununu echoed that sentiment. "Vice President Biden finally got something right," he said, adding, "the middle class has been devastated under President Obama."
In the meantime, a Rasmussen survey released on Wednesday find that 53% of likely voters view the election as a referendum on Obama's policies.

In February, the American Institute of Architects' Architecture Billings Index marked its seventh consecutive month of growth in the demand for architectural design services. With a national score of 54.9, up from January's score of 54.2, the architecture industry is seeing continued strength and a higher rate of growth of billings than it has seen since the bubble burst five years ago. (A score above 50.0 in the index means that demand is increasing.)
The score for project inquiries came in at 64.8, which is also up from the January score of 63.2. Project inquiries have now been growing for more than four years straight, after a shaky 2008.
February was another good month for the architectural profession, which has been rolling for half a year. The 54.9 score for billings is the highest score, meaning the fastest rate of growth, since November 2007, which also saw a score of 54.9. The seven-month run of billings scores above 50 is the longest such run since 2007. The 64.8 for project inquiries is the highest score since January 2007.
In addition, February's ABI data match the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics' February employment report. Two weeks ago, the BLS reported that the economy added 3,100 architectural and engineering services jobs in February. January saw a small dip of 300 jobs in the segment, but before that, there had been 3,800 architectural and engineering jobs added to the economy in December, 2,400 in November, and 1,500 in October. The 3,100 jobs added in February is closer to the trend line than the 300 lost, which now appears to have been an aberration.
Also, all four of the nation's four regions and all four of the industry's sectors also showed growth, as they have for five straight months. One has to go back to the summer of 2007 or before to see a positive streak like that across the entire design and construction industry nationwide.
National Highlights
Billings: At 54.9, this is the highest billings score since November 2007, and the seventh straight month of growth.
Inquiries: At 64.8, this is the highest score for project inquiries since January 2007.
Regional Highlights
Northeast: At 56.7, this is the highest score since December 2007, and is the sixth straight month above 50.
Midwest: At 54.7, this is down a tenth of a point from last month, but it is the fifth straight month above 50.
South: At 52.7, this is the highest score since August, and it is the eighth straight month above 50.
West: At 54.7, this is the highest score since July 2007, and it is the seventh straight month above 50.
Sector Highlights
Multifamily Residential: At 60.9, this is highest score since October 2004. It is also the 10th straight month above 50, and the sector has been above 50 for 16 of the past 17 months, as well as 24 of the past 30 months and 19 of the past 24 months. This sector has been by far the most productive since the real estate bubble burst and the financial crisis devastated the economy.
Mixed Practice: At 56.9, this is the highest score since July 2007, and it is the sixth straight month above 50.
Commercial: At 53.3, this is the highest score since March, and it is the fifth straight month above 50.
Institutional: At 50.7, this is the same as last month, and it is the seventh straight month above 50.

Entanglement is my new relaxation game. I love the soothing music in the background and the Zen feel of the game environment. The game requires you to manipulate tiles to connect your path and make it as long as possible without connecting it to any of the walls.
You'll find a great how to play video on the right side of the page, just click Menu and then the How to Play button. On the menu you'll also find options to start a new game, reach the main menu, and see the scoreboard. (Note that there are other boards you can play, but they cost money. Only the default solitaire board is free.)
To play begin by clicking the game board to get your first game piece. Next you'll see that a piece appears connected to the starting one. You can rotate this piece using the rotation arrows on either side of it, or you can swap it with the piece down in the left hand corner. The swap pieces you can sort through by clicking more than once, until you find the one you want to use.
My highest score so far has been a 51 made by connecting 39 segments. How will you score? Go play and find out!

Last week I was watching Food Network Nighttime and caught an episode of Unwrapped that featured patriotic foods. I tuned in at the middle of the segment on Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. Each year they make a cookie with dried cranberries, dried blueberries, and white chocolate. They looked amazing! So naturally I needed to make them gluten free.
I had just received my free sample of Jules Cookie Mix from the promotion she recently ran and couldn't think of a more perfect recipe to use. I stopped by the Farmer's Market and bought the dried cranberries and blueberries, which were just bursting with flavor. Using Jules new cookie mix made whipping up the batter a snap. I just added eggs, butter, and shortening to the mix and voila! Delicious cookies.
I made the entire bag, which made about six dozen cookies. I used a tablespoon of batter, which was probably a bit much, because they spread while baking. The spreading didn't ruin the cookies at all, they turned out to be light, crispy, buttery goodness! With the exception of Babs, everyone I shared them with eats gluten and they raved and raved about them! They didn't miss the gluten at all.
Star Spangled Cookies
*recipe adapted from Nestle's Tollhouse
2¼ cups Jules gluten free all purpose flour
1½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
2 sticks of softened butter
¾ cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried blueberries
1 cup white chocolate chips (I used Nestle's)
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.
Beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well blended.
Add eggs, one at a time, to the butter/sugar mixture, beating well.
Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
Stir in the dried fruit and white chocolate chips.
Chill batter in freezer or refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Scoop teaspoon sized of batter on parchment or foil lined cookie sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until centers are set. Cool on cooking sheet for a few minutes and transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
I'm actually about to make another batch (yes, they were all eaten up, and the weekend isn't even over yet!) for my family's holiday BBQ and my niece's 1st birthday! What's your favorite patriotic recipe or tradition?

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Los Tigres Del Norte
During the early '70s, Los Tigres became the first act signed to Fama Records. Founded by Art Walker, Fama grew to become the leading Spanish-language record label on the West Coast. Walker, a local impresario, first heard the group on a live radio presentation recorded at the local Parque de las Flores on Keyes Street in San Jose, and impressed with what he heard, he decided to make them the foundation of Fama. With his guidance, Los Tigres adopted an electric style, trading in their traditional acoustic sound for one incorporating bass, drums, and electric guitar. The group also adopted a modern approach to songwriting, emphasizing contemporary social themes common to Mexican-Americans.
Their breakthrough hit, "Contrabando y Traición" (1972), is emblematic. Like most of the group's songs, "Contrabando y Traición" is a corrido, which is an age-old style of narrative song common to the mestizo cultural area of North America, including the northern states of Mexico as well as the southwestern ones of the United States. Traditionally, corridos feature a salutation or prologue; a story, often a legend or ballad of a hero or criminal native to northern Mexico; and in conclusion, a moral or lesson. However, "Contrabando y Traición" is a thoroughly modern corrido, as it features a pair of lovers who traffic marijuana across the border in the tires of a car.
The song became a sizable hit in Southern California and set the course for the long, continuing success of Los Tigres, who went on to write a multitude of notable contemporary corridos about the drug trade (i.e., narcocorridos) and immigration. Corridos Prohibidos (1989), in particular, showcases the former, while "Jaula de Oro," one of their most well-known and frequently compiled songs, is an example of the latter. The song, whose title translates to "Golden Cage," details the plight of an undocumented worker in the United States: he swam across the border ten years prior but still doesn't have his papers; his wife and kids have long since forgotten about Mexico, while he longs to return yet cannot; he asks his son if he would like to go back to Mexico, and his son responds, in English, "What are you talking about, Dad? I don't want to go back to Mexico -- no way, Dad!"; and transcribed, the chorus laments, "What good is money/If I'm like a prisoner/Inside this big nation?/When I remember I cry/Although the jail may be made of gold/It's still a prison."
In the '80s, Los Tigres moved to Fonovisa Records and furthered their success. Beginning with Jaula de Oro (1984), the group would regularly top the regional Mexican album chart stateside, and this success was acknowledged in 1987 when they won the initial Grammy Award for Best Mexican-American Performance, for Gracias America...Sin Fronteras (1986). They subsequently would be nominated over a dozen times, and that's not even counting the Latin Grammys. Los Tigres were later honored with El Mas Grande Homenaje a Los Tigres del Norte (2001), a tribute album featuring many of the biggest names in Mexican pop/rock, such as Julieta Venegas and Molotov. Furthermore, beginning in 2003 Fonovisa began to compile a series of greatest-hits compilations titled Herencia Musical.
Throughout their long and storied career, Los Tigres, also known as Los Idolos del Pueblo and Los Jefes de Jefes, maintained a respectable image, never glamorizing the drug trade nor any other criminal activity. They refused to be photographed with so much as a gun in sight. This air of respectability helped them expand their audience demographically as well as internationally. By the early 2000s, Los Tigres had begun touring globally and their shows often reflected the diversity of their fan base. Amid all of this activity they continued releasing albums on an annual basis, and branched out into cinema as well, with DVD videos becoming a regular addition to their CDs. In total, they've released over 50 albums, recorded over 500 songs, and appeared in over a dozen films. In 2006, Fonovisa reissued some of these films as CD/DVDs, complementing the films -- cine de frontera classics such as La Banda del Carro Rojo and La Muerte del Soplon -- with thematic compilations of Los Tigres favorites. In 2011, Diego Torres, Zack de la Rocha, Andrés Calamaro, and others would help the group celebrate its career on the spirited live album MTV Unplugged: Los Tigres del Norte and Friends.
After a four-year break from studio recording, Los Tigres del Norte issued the full-length Realidades in October of 2014. It was their 23rd album to reach the Top 10 on the Top Latin Albums chart, tying the record originally set by Los Temerarios. The album entered at number three.
On November 13 of 2015, the group released the single "Tu carcel," written by Marc Antonio Solis (who appears on it as well). He is an artist Los Tigres consider the "poet of the century." It was followed three weeks later by a live album, Desde al Azteca. ~ Jason Birchmeier

The Great School Lottery is taking place in the United Kingdom and for the first time students will be placed in secondary schools based on a lottery system. It is estimated between 550,000 to 600,000 students are now discovering if they will be able to attend the school of their choosing. As a result of the National Offer Day, thousands will either receive the desired letter or will receive a letter informing them of placement in the second or third choice. Schools Secretary Ed Balls, insists, "the good news is that the majority of children and parents get into their first-choice school," but statistically 82% of children will be placed in their first choice school and 94% will be enrolled in of their top three preferences.
The concept of randomly selecting students for placement in schools is an interesting experiment which is undoubtedly predicated on the assumption it really doesn't make much difference who enters which school. One can only wonder if this great experiment will one day be extended to entrance into Oxford and Cambridge?

I just watched episode 15 of The Clone Wars "Bounty Hunters"... In this episode there is a bountyhunter that got the same gun as boba in ROTJ (the EE-3).. Well, at least I think they look exactly the same.
But heres the thing... You never see boba use his EE-3 in ROTJ... so you don't know wich collor his guns laser got... but in this episode you actuly can see the EE-3 in action. But when I saw that the EE-3s laser was blue, I got a little but confused :eek
First I was like, wow.. blue... strange ? :S (I allways thought the laser was red seens the comic books with boba and the fan films and the games) And in an other shot, she actuly fires red laser?
Question 1. Is it possible for a SW weapon to fire lasers with diffrent collors, or is it just an edit mistake?
Question 2. Do you think it's the same modle as bobas?

Welcome to a new feature on Arsenal.com - Talking Heads.
Before and after every first-team fixture our MatchDay Show team - and an Arsenal blogger - will have their say on the match.
Arsenal took on Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday and our Talking Heads for this game were Dan Roebuck, Martin Hayes and Paul Savill from Up The Arsenal.
Read on for their post-match thoughts and a reminder of what they said before kick-off.
Arsenal could not have asked for a tougher start to their group and they will be happy to get out of Dortmund with a point - even though it's frustrating to concede so late. Mind you, no keeper in the world would have stopped Perisic's volley. Arsenal were second best for much of the first half but they scored at the perfect time when Walcott's excellent pass was matched by Van Persie's finish. After that it was a case of keeping it tight and I thought Song was superb in front of the back four during the second half. Once again Szczesny stood out and Arteta looked at ease in the Champions League too.
It's the hardest match to start for Arsenal in Group F. The win against Swansea on Saturday will have given the players some confidence to go to Dortmund and get a positive result. In truth, a draw would probably see everybody happy. Arsène Wenger will be under no illusions of what to expect from this team - after all, they are the Bundesliga champions. It will no doubt be an intimidating place to go but many of the players are used to that kind of thing. Ramsey being out is a blow but I can quite easily see Yossi Benayoun slotting into his place with the experience he has at this level.
I thought Arsenal could nick this one 2-1 but I think they will be happy with a 1-1 draw given how the game played out. Dortmund pressed well in the first half and Arsenal seemed to lose their shape at times, but then they got the goal through Van Persie and it came at the perfect time - just before the break. It was a shame to concede the equaliser so late but Dortmund probably deserved a point and to be fair Arsène Wenger looked happy enough at the final whistle.
It's a massive game. When you're drawn against the Germans, Italians or the Spanish you know you're up against the best in Europe. If you've won the German league you know they will be strong and well-organised with some very good players. At the moment, it's probably not the group game that Arsenal would have wanted. They probably needed another couple of weeks to find their confidence a little bit. Arsenal have definitely got the players to deal with the big atmospheres and the crowds but they're probably going into the toughest game one first. They will hopefully go there and rise to the occasion. German sides will want to do well against the English - there's always a rivalry there. It's a great chance for Arsenal to go there and grind out a result because the pressure will be on Dortmund to win their home games.
I said in my preview that I would be happy with a point and I am. While we struggled to get into the game offensively our defensive performance in the second half was outstanding. Sagna, Koscielny and Song stood out for their discipline and Szczesny made sure we kept hold of our point as the Germans pressed for a winner in the closing minutes. Robin van Persie took his goal incredibly well and the equaliser was one of those wonder strikes you can do nothing about. All in all this was a solid start to the group stage and a performance to build upon.
Neither side has managed to get off to the best of starts in their respective domestic league campaigns but I don't expect that to have much bearing on the outcome of this match. With players such as Mario Gotze and Sven Bender in the side, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp will send the Bundesliga champions out looking to take a scalp. Die Schwarzgelben have a strong defensive spine in Neven Subotic, Mats Hummels and Roman Wieldenfella and it could take a bit of magic from the likes of Mikel Arteta and Robin van Persie to get the better of them. We'll be looking to Per Mertesacker to give us the inside track on our opponents and the big centre-half should certainly be comfortable facing players he is familiar with. I think Arsenal are capable of coming away from Germany with all three points but I have to say that I wouldn't be too disappointed with a point from what, on paper, could be our toughest game of the Group Stage.

Industries Making the Most Money on Doomsday Preppers
To identify the industries that benefit the most from doomsday preppers, 24/7 Wall St. focused on key spending categories. Many items are actually impossible to flag as prepper supplies because they are ordinary household items bought by consumers every day. Other items are more specific and can run into the thousands of dollars or more.
The costs of basic needs food, clothing and shelter can be enormous for preppers as they plan for disaster. Food cannot just be a few cans of beans and rice with some bottled water, but months or even years worth of prepackaged goods. It can include water filtration and purification systems and thousands of gallons of bottled water. Shelter may translate to a defendable urban shelter or a remote refuge away from cities. Clothing may be extreme weather gear and may include hazardous material suits, warfare and hunting gear. Backup medicines and first aid kits are also basic needs.
For the more extreme survivalists, there is bugout gear that goes way beyond a suitcase, backpack and tent. Some preppers keep gold and silver stashes to barter with when paper money will be worthless. Guns, knives and ammunition are also common among preppers. Many go so far as to have generators or at least rudimentary cooking supplies and candles to last for months. Hand-crank emergency radios, specialty tools and equipment are also considered essentials.
Being a doomsday prepper is not actually that new. During the 1950s and 1960s, houses were built with bomb shelters, from the very basic to quite elaborate. Shelters were also not unheard of in the 1970s and 1980s during the height of the Cold War. Congress had a plan to relocate the government to an alternative site in The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.
These are the industries making the most money on doomsday preppers.
Continued: http://247wallst.com/special-report/...sday-preppers/
Black Blade: Actually it doesn't have to cost much to prep. I know several folk who are bar bones preppers buying bulk grains and canned their own garden fruits and veggies as well as their own small livestock (chickens, rabbits, goats, etc.). They shop at Army-Navy Surplus, yard/garage sales, and Thrift Shops (i.e Starvation Army, St. Vincint de Paul, Deseret Industries and Goodwill). They don't buy brand new vehicles or the latest gadgets either. Of course there are those of more substantial means who buy the latest and greatest "survival toys" but that is a personal choice for these folk. Many hard core preppers/survivalists I know do very well on a shoestring budget. Heck, even have an old "hippy" prepper friend who raised his family in an old converted school bus living in the Santa Cruz mountains on the left coast. Where there's a will there's a way I suppose.

Lewis, Wall Street Journal baselessly suggest student loan provisions benefit "favored" nonprofits
On the March 29 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Politics Daily columnist Matt Lewis advanced dubious claims [1] first made by the Wall Street Journal that certain provisions relating to overhauling student loans in the reconciliation bill were added to benefit "a handful of favored nonprofit companies." The legislation in question eliminates [2] the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program, which, as the New York Times reported, gave commercial banks "guaranteed federal subsidies to lend money to students, with the government assuming nearly all the risk." Under the legislation, qualifying state-based nonprofits would be able to continue servicing federally subsidized student loans. Lewis and the Wall Street Journal suggested that this provision was added to benefit, as Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy put it, "some of" the Democrats' "nonprofit pals."
Their evidence? The Journal claims that one of the "several dozen nonprofit firms" that could be affected by this legislation, ALL Student Loan, "may have helped its cause by retaining the services of Vincent Reusing, a lobbyist whom the Chronicle of Higher Education has described as a 'personal friend' of" Rep.George Miller (D-CA). Lewis repeated this charge on Fox & Friends. Without explaining how, the Journal claims that ALL Student Loan counts as one of the "favored nonprofits" who will be receiving a new "revenue stream" from this legislation. But considering the Journal itself admits that ALL Student Loan is only one of "several dozen nonprofit firms" that could benefit from the legilsation, it's hard to see how this provision [3] was included in order to benefit one nonprofit who hired one lobbyist who may or may not be a "personal friend" of one of the lawmakers involved in drafting the legislation.
But, on Fox & Friends, Lewis didn't stop there. He also claimed that the student loan aspects of the reconciliation package was included in the legislation because "in order to pass the health care bill," Democrats "promised that it would be deficit neutral and as you know, they did a lot of maneuvering" to "make the numbers add up." Lewis claimed that part of the "maneuvering" to make the CBO's "bogus numbers line up" was to add the student loan provision, which has been estimated [4] to save the government $61 billion. What Lewis failed to mention, however, is that of the $143 billion the CBO estimated [5] the health care bill with the reconciliation fixes would reduce the deficit by, only $19 billion of that deficit reduction savings came from the "education provisions" in the bill, which include the student loan overhaul. The Washington Post reported [4] that "most of" the money the federal government will save from overhauling student loans "would go to the popular but oversubscribed Pell Grant program for the burgeoning number of students from low- and moderate-income families." Also, Lewis forgets that every version of the health care bill created before the student loan legislation was added also reduced the deficit [6], making it even more unlikely that the student loan overhaul needed to be added to the health care reconciliation bill to obscure the costs of health care reform and make reform seem to "be deficit neutral."

This is a MUST read for every homeowner! We all desire to have a weed-free lawn, but at what cost? In the fall of last year, DuPont released a "miracle" herbicide, called Imprelis (aminocyclopyrachlor), which promised to control the toughest of weeds while leaving your turf unscathed. In the spring of this year, widespread usage was underway. A few of the major lawn care companies in the Kansas City area began using this seemingly foolproof product. Within a few weeks, complaints of tree damage began surfacing, the majority of these trees are now dead or are dying. The product labeling was called into question by the E.P.A. and the product was banned on August 11th. All remaining Imprelis was recalled, but unfortunately it was too late for many homeowners, their trees had already absorbed the herbicide via their root system. In many cases, neighboring trees were affected or killed which suggests that this chemical does not stay put, but travels via run-off or other a fair distance from the application zone.
Since the ban, many class actions suits seeking restitution have been filed against DuPont. The damages are expected to near the billion dollar mark, possibly more. The claims may be submitted directly to DuPont, but you will be expected to "wait in line" and, of course, waive any and all rights to bring further action against them. A deadline has been set by DuPont for submission of all claims. They will not accept any claims postmarked later than November 30th, 2011.
Suburban Lawn & Garden chose NOT to purchase this product for use in their lawn care program. In good faith, a few prominent companies in this area did opt to try this seemingly fantastic product. The tree deaths are climbing and there are MANY trickle down effects, as well. Most of you know that we also operate a recycling center which stocks all three of our stores with mulch and Summer Field Farms Compost. Because of this, Suburban Lawn & Garden is no longer accepting yard waste from homes treated with Imprelis. All other yard waste will continue to be accepted.
I am sure you are wondering how to spot the effects of Imprelis on your evergreens. The following is a basic guideline along with images of damage on both White Pine and Norway Spruce (similar symptoms found on other Spruce trees).
The VISIBLE symptoms are (but are not limited to):
- Significant needle twisting and browning
- Terminal curling and drooping on new growth
- Needle browning and twisting on older growth (in some cases)
If any of your trees are exhibiting unfavorable symptoms, particularly those listed above AND you suspect herbicide damage (possibly indirect), DO NOT remove your trees. It would be advised to take pictures and gather as much documentation as possible to support a claim.
For more information, visit my initial consumer alert and you might find some useful information on DuPont's Imprelis FAQ page. In addition, more information about DuPont's strict claims process can be found here.

I am hunkered down at the Camano Island Inn enjoying a hot tub on my deck and a view of Puget Sound. I can have breakfast delivered (skipping the daily hair-and-makeup ordeal), sit in my cozy alcove, and browse the Seattle Times in my pajamas. This is the ideal place to test the island's seductive Web site claim: donothinghere.com.
What a concept. Doing nothing. Even in the most languid destinations, I never manage it. There's always a beach to comb or a museum to explore. Because this Washington island has art galleries, a magnificent state park, and a funky plant nursery, I'll need convincing. Is it really possible to do nothing here?
Historically, 16-mile-long Camano has been a busy place. American Indians fished and clammed here for centuries, and by the mid-1800s, lumber was king. A century later, Camano was a summer haven for mainlanders who built cottages or visited fishing resorts. The most popular, Cama Beach, will reopen as a state park in the spring looking much the way it did nearly 80 years ago, with 34 refurbished cabins, a general store, a dining hall, and a lodge.
"I can't believe how much the island has developed," says Betsy Elam, visiting from Texas. "My sisters and I spent summers in the '50s and '60s at our grandmother's cabin, and my memories are of a rural place. No real houses―just beach cottages and cabins and barely paved roads."
Camano's population has grown from around 13,000 two decades ago to around 30,000 today. It's roughly an hour north of Seattle, and a steady stream of year-round residents crosses the bridge connecting the island to the mainland during rush hour. But to a city dweller, this is still quite a sleepy little outpost.
Visitors can keep busy, though. Many discover Out on a Limb Orchids, a working nursery open to the public only four times a year. However, if you phone ahead, owner Mark Bamber will let you have a look around. Green thumbs can buy a potted orchid, and the gardening-challenged can indulge in a bundle of spiky lavender or scented lotions.
Or you can take in the island's natural beauty. Some 50 years ago, locals submitted a petition to create a park on the west shore, claiming, "The fishing is good, the clams delicious, and the waterfront is easy on a fellow's feet." When the petition was approved, 900 residents showed up with shovels and picks, and created Camano Island State Park in one day. It has more than a mile of shoreline, several tiny cabins, and miles of hiking and biking trails.
Admittedly, doing nothing might be tough here. But the activities I discover―beach hiking, gallery browsing, lavender sniffing―are decidedly slow-lane. So is the rest of the island: just a few houses; a half dozen low-key bed-and-breakfast inns; and a marketplace fine-tuned to serve locals and visitors with a no-fuss combination of restaurant, art gallery, tiny bookstore, coffee roaster, boutique, and wine shop.
On my last morning, the beach calls, and I slip out of the Camano Island Inn just as the sun melts away the fog. Seagulls gather in an opportunistic huddle. A woman walks by with two black Labs. She smiles; the dogs wag their tails. I've found a piece of driftwood the shape of a chair, and I settle in to watch the clouds clear over the Olympic Mountains. There's no denying it: I am, quite blissfully, doing nothing on Camano Island.

Sign-Ups Surge as Final Week for Obamacare Enrollment Arrives
As this week marks the final week to enroll for Obamacare, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo) says south Texas still has the largest number of uninsured individuals of any region of the country.
Cuellar says all of the partisan bickering over the Affordable Care Act isn't helping.
"The Republicans want to repeal it, it's not going to go away, the courts have already said it is Constitutional," Cuellar said. "Then on the other side, you have Democrats who don't want to change one word, that's wrong."
Cuellar says in his district, which stretches from northeast of San Antonio all the way to the Rio Grande, one third of people are still without health insurance.
Cuellar says it is time for both sides to stop yelling at each other in attempts to gin up their political base, and have a serious conversation about the fate of the bill.
"We got to sit down and say this part of the bill we should modify, this part we should repeal," Cuellar said. "Hopefully after the election we'll get around to doing that."
Meanwhile, it's crunch time for local groups which are trying to enroll people in the Affordable Care Act, and several groups will be working extra hours this week and doing plenty of outreach to try to bring people on board.
Andrea Guajardo of the CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health Care System, says, unlike in the early days of the program, when the well publicized web site glitches kept people away, there is now interest in signing up.
"We get 100 or 200 people each time we go out," she said.
She concedes that the hardest sell are the 'young invincibles,' young people with limited resources who feel that they don't need health insurance and would rather spend their money elsewhere.
"A lot of times, their moms are bringing them in," she said.
Navigators say another problem with signing up is that terms which are familiar to people with insurance coverage, like 'copay' and 'deductible' are foreign to people who have never had coverage in their lives, so those people are taking longer to make their way through the system.
Another problem facing this area. Congress specifically exempted illegal immigrants from having to follow the provisions of Obamacare, so a large segment of the south Texas population will remain uninsured, and will continue to depend on expensive public hospital emergency rooms for basic health care.
