Tomas Rosicky
Greece 1-2 Czech Republic
Monday, June 12
Tomas Rosicky played the first half of the Czech Republic's 2-1 victory over Greece in Wroclaw on Tuesday evening.
Rosicky's side suffered an opening-day defeat to Russia but bounced back in Group A with a comfortable win over the Greeks, who now look likely to face an early exit from the competition.
The Czech Republic stormed into an early lead inside three minutes. Tomas Hubschman sliced open the Greece defence to find Petr Jiracek through the middle, who coolly slotted home.
Rosicky then grabbed his moment to shine as he played Theodor Gebre Selassie in behind the full back, and he squared for Vaclav Pilar to bundle home in the sixth minute.
Rosicky, the Czech captain, was booked 26 minutes in for a high challenge on Giorgos Karagounis but went close three minutes later when he forced substitute goalkeeper Michalis Sifakis into action with a shot from outside the area.
The Arsenal midfielder was substituted at half time for fellow midfielder Daniel Kolar, with Greece introducing the experienced Fanis Gekas up front.
Gekas' impact was immediate as he capitalised on a Petr Cech error to fire into an empty net and halve the Greeks' deficit.
The Czech Republic were forced to ride sporadic waves of Greek pressure as the second half drew to a close but hung on for a valuable three point.
The Czech Republic's final Group A fixture pits them against Poland in Wroclaw.

Superstar Bras
October 11th, 20110
Since Bravissimo hit the high streets, there have been plenty of our bras that consistently receive fantastic reviews from fans and we feel they are worth shouting about, as they seem to have made such a difference to our ladies' lives.
These bras stand out not only because they give amazing shape and make clothes look fantastic, but also because they are still comfortable and supportive which we all know is THE winning combination.
One of our superstar bras is the best selling Alana Bra by Bravissimo. This bra has been used by the one and only Gok Wan at one of his recent roadshows and we know how he feels about finding the right bra, before you even move on to the outfit! Our in-store Bravissimo fitters love this bra and probably use it the most during fittings because of the gorgeous shape it creates, plus the super fit and support. For an everyday bra it is pretty and is available in so many colours you will be spoilt for choice. The Alana, is an underwired balconette and in sizes DD-G cups it has a 2 hook fastening and in GG-L, 3 hooks. A selection of the positive comments about The Alana, have included, "The fit is true to size", "It creates the best shape", "Highly recommended for everyday wear", and "Is very, very comfortable"".
Another one of our amazing performers is the Deco Bra by Freya, because we know how much our Bravissimo ladies rave about this bra. This gorgeous bra is now newly available in graphite, with a pretty mother of pearl button detail, this is a perfect buy for autumn. It is a moulded plunge, which is perfect for close fitting tops. It also creates fantastic cleavage, so when you want to go for a sexier look with a lower cut top, maybe for an evening out, the Deco would be a great choice. This is some of the great feedback we have received about the Deco bra, "The Deco is absolutely the best moulded bra there is", "I can't believe it's taken me this long to find it", "It's true to size, supportive and so comfortable!", and "Fabulous fit-great cleavage".
What more can we say, check out more of our bestsellers online or in-store.

LAFAYETTE- A 30-year-old Maryland man was sentenced in Lafayette, La., to eight years in prison for possessing child pornography.
U.S. Attorney Stephanie A. Finley tells The Advertiser Phillip Sessa Jr., of Essex, Md., was sentenced Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Richard T. Haik.
Prosecutors say an acquaintance of Sessa alerted authorities in November 2011 that Sessa's personal computer at his Opelousas home contained child pornography.
When questioned about the images on his computer, Sessa allegedly told authorities some were of his girlfriend's children who lived in the Baltimore, Md., area.
Over the course of the investigation, authorities seized more than 150,000 images and videos. Sessa was arrested in January 2012 and pleaded guilty July 23, 2012.

Advanced vim part II[by Tom Baring]
Part one of this series appeared in issue #370 , September 2007, offering these VIM tips:
- Cursor movement perfection
- Combine cursor movement with change/delete/pipe operations
- Use regular expressions
- Let VIM handle repetitive tasks
Here's one more skill for improving your VIM efficiency:
- Use VIM's built-in line editing (command-line mode) operations
For many of us, vi and VIM are a huge improvement over editors which make you grab the mouse. In VIM, you move the cursor with efficient keystrokes, but the need for any cursor movement at all can be reduced by using the command line.
Rather than moving the cursor and performing some action, you can often simply type a command to produce the same result, saving yourself keystrokes and improving your odds of doing exactly what you want without mistakes.
My hope with this article is to get you started with this new approach to editing (which is actually an old approach, if you were ever "privileged" to use TECO).
When you're in VIM "normal-mode" (AKA "command-mode") and hit the colon key, you enter the under-used "command-line mode" and can enter "ex" commands. Every VIM user already uses these:
:q[uit] :w[rite] :s[ubstitute]
And probably these:
:r[ead] :f[ile] :g[lobal] :!
But how about these?
:ya[nk] :d[elete] :pu[t] :co[py] :m[ove] :fo[ld] :foldc[lose] :foldo[pen] :i[nsert] :a[ppend] :ma[rk] :j[oin]
The functionality of these operations is available in normal-mode, or can be constructed, so why bother with line editing? For many editing problems, they result in:
- Less typing
- More control
- More fun
Example 1 : copying a line to the current cursor location.
Your cursor is at line 457. Near the top of the screen you see a line (400) that you want to copy to your current location.
Normal-mode solution:
- Move cursor to line 400: Hjjjjjj or 400G or 30kkkkkk
- Yank the line: yy
- Move cursor back to 457: Lkkkkkkk or 457G or 33jjjjj
- Put the line: p
Command-line solution (Drum-roll first, please)
Example 2 : moving a block of text.
Your cursor is on line 111. You decide to move lines 134-143 to line 120.
Normal-mode solution:
- Move the cursor to line 134: 134G or jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
- Delete from the cursor to line 143: d143G or d10d (hoping you didn't miscount)
- Move cursor to line 120: 120G or kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
- Put the deleted block: p (hoping you didn't accidentally delete anything else along the way, overwriting your saved text)
Command-line solution:
The two big advantages to command-line solutions:
- You don't have to move the cursor.
- You can examine the command before committing it! In normal-mode, much of the command is invisible as you enter it: the movement commands, the delete buffer, etc. In command-line mode, it's right in front of you.
How to do line editing in VIM
The first thing to learn is that all command line operations work on either one line or a range of lines. There are several ways to specify a line, and they're all useful in different situations.
A LINE specification is
- one of the predefined, special lines: "." is the current cursor line "$" is the last line in the file (you can also specify an offset relative to "." or "$" as a line specification. E.g., "$-3" or ".+12" or ".-12".)
- an explicit line number, e.g., "120". (Enter ":se[t] nu[mber]" to show line numbers.)
a mark. (In normal-mode, hit m followed by a letter to set a mark at the cursor position.
E.g, "ma" sets mark "a." On the command line use ":ma[rk]". E.g., ":120ma a" places mark "a" on line 120--without moving the cursor.)
- the line on which a search operation finds a match. (E.g., :/pattern/)
A RANGE specification is
a comma delimited line specification. E.g.:
:120,130 (lines 120-130 inclusive) :.,$ (current cursor line to end of file) :'a,'b (mark "a" to mark "b") :/Apple/,/Zebra/ (Next occurance of "Apple" to next occurance of "Zebra")
the predefined, special range:
"%" is the range 1,$ (i.e., the entire file)
ARGUMENTS to command-line commands
The commands I'm recommending take either a line address, a register name, a mark name or nothing as their arguments. What are these things?
- Line specification: One line specified as described above.
- Register name: When you yank or delete a range, the contents of that range are stored in a buffer, called a register. In addition to the unnamed (default) register you have 26 named registers, a-z. I suggest always yanking/deleting into a named register so you're less likely to overwrite it. In MacVIM, buffers are shared between all tabs in a window, so you can easily yank a couple things from one file (one tab) and put them in another.
- Mark name: You can set up to 52 unique marks: a-z and A-Z.
Command-Line Commands
Syntax notes:
Items in square brackets are optional.
- The default for [range] is the current cursor line.
- The commands have the given abbreviations, e.g., "ya" works for "yank"
- The default for [register name] is, well, the default register
- Items in curly braces are required.
COMMANDS: Explanations and Examples
Yank :[range]ya[nk] [register name]
In normal-mode, whenever you delete anything, with "x" or "d", the thing deleted overwrites the unnamed register. Many times, I've yanked a block of text, but before putting it in its new location, I've managed to overwrite it by accident. Thus, I've learned to always yank to a named buffer. E.g.,:
:.,122ya k
Best of all, it's not necessary to move the cursor first. Just specify both ends of the range, wherever they are:
:12,13 ya x :$-4,$ ya y :'a,'b ya z
Delete :[range]d[elete] {address}
With delete, it's even more important to use a named register because (obviously) you've deleted the thing, making it harder to recover if you overwrite the default register.
:98,789d k
Deleting the current line:
:d k :.d k
Put :[line]pu[t] [register name]
You can put the contents of a register at the current cursor position:
:pu k :.pu k
Or anywhere:
:333pu k :'a pu k
You can put the default register at the current location:
Or at the next occurance of "Zebra"
Copy :[range]co[py] {address} or :[range]t {address}
Copy a single line to another location:
Note, ":t" is an alias for copy, and saves one character of typing:
You can copy a range of lines inside itself, if needed:
Move :[range]m[ove] {address}
Fold :[range]fo[ld]
"Folding" hides a range of lines. Say you want to see and edit a file's header and footer simultaneously, hiding everything in between:
:20,$-20 fold
How about hiding everything between the opening and closing BODY tag in an HTML file:
:/<body>/,/<.body>/ fold
Foldopen :[range]foldo[pen]
Fold definitions persist, even after you "open" them to see what's inside. You can open all folds in a range with foldopen:
:%foldo :100,200 foldo
Foldclose :[range]foldc[lose]
Similarly, close all folds in a range:
(Note, that there are other commands for erasing fold definitions.)
Mark :[line]ma[rk] {register}
Set mark "a" at the current cursor position:
:ma a
A nice thing about "mark" is that it doesn't move the cursor:
:111ma a :/apple/ma a :/Apple/ma A :/zebra/ma z :/Zebra/ma Z
Join :[range]j[oin]
Rather than moving the cursor and hitting JJJJJJJJJJJJJJ or guessing "15J", use command-line joing:
Global :[range]g[lobal]/pattern/ command
I don't get fancy with global, maps, or search and replace, strongly preferring to record and replay complicated combinations (see issue 370). That said, "global," has its place. "Global" selects every line in a range which matches a pattern, and then executes an ex command on those lines. Here are some examples:
Change "T3E" to "HPC" but only on lines, from the current cursor line to the end of the file, containing the text, "Users' Newsletter."
:.,$g/Users\' Newsletter/s/T3E/HPC/g
Copy every line containing "Users' Newsletter" to the end of the file.
:g/Users\' Newsletter/t$
Delete all empty lines:
Shift matching lines, with "global" with "mark" and "copy," using multiple ex commands. This shifts every line containing BOBBY up four lines:
:g/BOBBY/mark k move 'k-4
Help :h[elp] [command or topic]
Help on "mark." Command-line and then normal-mode versions:
:h :ma :h m
Help on ranges, :foldopen, and :global:
:h cmdline-ranges :h :foldopen :h :global
Help main page:
Other Commands...
I've listed most of the commands I find useful, but there are many more:
:h ex-cmd-index
Executing multiple commands
The "|" serves as a separator between ex commands, so you can type several at once if you know what you want. E.g.:
:33,40t$ 47,50t$ 33,50d
:set noignorecase %s/Apple/apple/gc %s/Zebra/zebra/gc set ignorecase
Repeating a command-line ex command
As described in issue 370, VIM stores the last command in a special register aptly named ":", and you can execute the contents of any register with "@". Thus, you can easily re-execute your last command line ex command:
In normal-mode, repeat the previous ex command:
In command-mode, repeat the previous ex command:
Stop escaping forward slashes!!!
The pattern delimiter in "global" and "substitution" is NOT restricted to the forward slash ("/"). I always use a comma (",").
So, instead of this mess (to change /usr/local/bin to /usr/bin):
I type this:
The delimiter can be any non-alphanumeric character except '\', '"' or '|', so use whatever you like, e.g.:
:g!/usr/local/bin!s!/local!! :g#/usr/local/bin#s#/local##
If your "personal" delimiter character appears in the pattern, escape it:
:s,The time is come\, the walrus said,Let's,
Next Steps...
The way I suggest you master VIM is to print a detailed reference card, like this, and keep it handy:
Most of the command-line commands I describe in this article aren't on the card, so write them in the margins.
Then, whenever you're ready for a stretch, look at the card, pick any command or feature you find intriguing, learn it and use it till it's second nature. Then pick another... and another... ad infinitum...

Still more git[by Kate Hedstrom]
If you were foolish enough to be learning git only from my rantings, you would not yet have heard about tags and git bisection. It is time to remedy that situation.
Tags are a way to provide a more user-friendly name for a particular revision. You can always refer to revision numbers by their SHA1 number, but you might want to have a better way to label the code used for a particular simulation. To tag the currently checked out code:
% git tag version_2.3
You can also tag a particular revision:
git tag stable-1 f3a7081fb9
You would then be able to see your tags like:
% git tag stable-1 version_2.3
You can later access code using:
% git checkout version_2.3
You can add a message to a tag with the "-a" argument:
% git tag -a testing-1 -m 'my first tag string'
and then see that string later with:
% git show testing-1
One thing about tags is that they only apply to your current repository. Pushing changes, then downloading them on another system will make the code corresponding to the tagged version visible elsewhere, but not the tag itself. The same code base on one machine gives:
mg57 116% git tag -l NEP5_45 testing-1
and this on another:
332% git tag nep5_run38
I've clearly missed tagging several runs between 38 and 45!
Say you know you had a working version of the code a couple months ago. Then you bring in two months worth of updates from somewhere, including conflict resolution. You find that at the end of this, something doesn't work. What to do? Assuming that there are a number of discrete revisions, you can ask git to help you narrow down which change it was that created difficulties for you. Here's how:
% git bisect start % git bisect good nep5_run38 % git bisect bad
This is saying the current version is bad, while that at tag nep5_run38 is good. If you don't have tags, the SHA1 numbers work as well. Say things look like:
HEAD a123 b3452 73f8g nep5_run38
Git will check out the b3452 code and ask you to check it. Once it's been checked, tell it either "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad". It will then check out a123 or 73f8g, accordingly. You will then need to check that one and report on it, until you are down to just one step between a "good" and a "bad" case.
When I was forced to try out the bisection, I ran into one pitfall. Not all codes compiled off the bat so I made some local changes. Because git wants to check out new codes after a "git bisect good/bad", it won't do it when there are local modifications. Make sure you do your test, then "git reset --hard", then "git bisect good/bad". Make sure "git status" is clean before your report!
Once you get your answer about which change to focus on, clean up the bisect business with "git bisect reset".
Some material shown here comes from the Git Community Book: http://book.git-scm.com/
If git bugs you, know that you're not the only one. You might check out http://reprog.wordpress.com/2010/05/10/git-is-a-harrier-jump-jet-and-not-in-a-good-way/ and the two follow-on articles for some interesting tips about the good, the bad and the ugly in git.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A.[[ After I added an "echo" statement to the .bashrc of a certain machine, [[ I was no longer able to scp to it. When I tried to scp to that [[ machine, I would see the echo and nothing else, and the prompt returned [[ without any indication of failure. Why did an echo statement in my [[ .bashrc prevent scp from working?
# # We received this tip from reader Samy Bara: #
Old known issue, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20527 .
# # Elaborating just a bit, especially for readers who don't use web browsers: #
The scp command reads from ~/.bashrc. It is a known issue that if the ~/.bashrc generates output, it breaks scp. The referenced RedHat ticket was closed with status "WONTFIX" and a note that this bad behavior is the fault of OpenSSH.
Q: I'm setting up a new ocean simulation and we have an idea for how to handle land-fast ice. It requires reading in the land-fast ice from some observations. My problem is that the model grid is in lat/lon and the model reads netCDF files while the observations are in various GIS formats. Available formats are GeoTiff, ESRI shapefiles, and Microsoft Access Database. Any advice on dealing with these?

Posted by Benjamin Ensor on November 18, 2011
In the past week I've have the privilege of talking to (or listening to) executives responsible for mobile banking at some of Europe's biggest banks, including Bankinter, Barclays Bank, La Caixa, Lloyds TSB, Nordea and RBS, at Forrester's Marketing & Strategy Forum and at a conference on Next Generation Mobile Banking hosted by The Banker. I've also spoken privately to many other executives over the past few months, including at Forrester's eBusiness Council meeting this week.
Without naming names, I'm struck by the sharply different perspectives these executives have. Simplistically, their view of mobile banking falls into two camps:
Mobile is just another channel. These executives see mobile banking as a way of letting customers do old things, like checking their account balance, in new ways.
Mobile will revolutionize retail banking. These executives believe that mobility could turn the retail banking industry upside down, by enabling customers to do entirely new things like scanning bills to make payments, responding to location-based offers, and receiving rewards at the point of sale.

Hodgkin's lymphoma — formerly known as Hodgkin's disease — is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system.
In Hodgkin's lymphoma, cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and may spread beyond the lymphatic system. As Hodgkin's lymphoma progresses, it compromises your body's ability to fight infection.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is one of two common types of cancers of the lymphatic system. The other type, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, is far more common.
Advances in diagnosis and treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma have helped give people with this diagnosis the chance for a full recovery. The prognosis continues to improve for people with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Hodgkin's lymphoma signs and symptoms may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.
It's not clear what causes Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Doctors know that most Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs when an infection-fighting cell called a B cell develops a mutation in its DNA. The mutation tells the cells to divide rapidly and to continue living when a healthy cell would die. The mutation causes a large number of oversized, abnormal B cells to accumulate in the lymphatic system, where they crowd out healthy cells and cause the signs and symptoms of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Various types of Hodgkin's lymphoma exist. The type is based on the types of cells involved in your disease and their behavior. Your type determines your treatment options.
Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma is the more common type of this disease. It can be broken down further into subtypes. People diagnosed with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma have large, abnormal cells called Reed-Sternberg cells in their lymph nodes.
Subtypes of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma include:
This much rarer type of Hodgkin's lymphoma involves large, abnormal cells that are sometimes called popcorn cells because of their appearance. Treatment may be different from the classical type. People with this type of Hodgkin's lymphoma may have a better chance of a cure when the disease is diagnosed at an early stage.
Factors that increase the risk of Hodgkin's lymphoma include:
Make an appointment with your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. After your diagnosis, your doctor may refer you to a specialist who treats Hodgkin's lymphoma, such as a hematologist, medical oncologist or radiation oncologist.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important, in case time runs out. For Hodgkin's lymphoma, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask additional questions.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose Hodgkin's lymphoma include:
After your doctor has determined the extent of your Hodgkin's lymphoma, your cancer will be assigned a stage. Your cancer's stage helps determine your prognosis and your treatment options.
Stages of Hodgkin's lymphoma include:
Additionally, your doctor uses the letters A and B to indicate whether you're experiencing symptoms of Hodgkin's lymphoma:
Which treatment options are appropriate for your Hodgkin's lymphoma depends on your type and stage of disease, your overall health, and your preferences. The goal of treatment is to destroy as many cancer cells as possible and bring the disease into remission.
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill lymphoma cells. Chemotherapy drugs travel through your bloodstream and can reach nearly all areas of your body.
Chemotherapy is often combined with radiation therapy in people with early-stage classical type Hodgkin's lymphoma. Radiation therapy is typically done after chemotherapy. In advanced Hodgkin's lymphoma, chemotherapy may be used alone or combined with radiation therapy.
Chemotherapy drugs can be taken in pill form, through a vein in your arm or sometimes both methods of administration are used. Several combinations of chemotherapy drugs are used to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Side effects of chemotherapy depend on the specific drugs you're given. Common side effects include nausea and hair loss. Serious long-term complications can occur, such as heart damage, lung damage, fertility problems and other cancers, such as leukemia.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. For classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, radiation therapy can be used alone, but it is often used after chemotherapy. People with early-stage lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma typically undergo radiation therapy alone.
During radiation therapy, you lie on a table and a large machine moves around you, directing the energy beams to specific points on your body. Radiation can be aimed at affected lymph nodes and the nearby area of nodes where the disease might progress. The length of radiation treatment varies, depending on the stage of the disease.
Radiation therapy can cause skin redness and hair loss at the site where the radiation is aimed. Many people experience fatigue during radiation therapy. More-serious risks include heart disease, stroke, thyroid problems, infertility and other forms of cancer, such as breast or lung cancer.
A stem cell transplant is a treatment to replace your diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells that help you grow new bone marrow. A stem cell transplant may be an option if Hodgkin's lymphoma returns despite treatment.
During a stem cell transplant, your own blood stem cells are removed, frozen and stored for later use. Next you receive high-dose chemotherapy and radiation therapy to destroy cancerous cells in your body. Finally your stem cells are thawed and injected into your body through your veins. The stem cells help build healthy bone marrow.
No alternative medicines have been found to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma. But alternative medicine may help you cope with the stress of a cancer diagnosis and the side effects of cancer treatment. Talk to your doctor about your options, such as:
A diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma can be extremely challenging. The following strategies and resources may make dealing with cancer easier:

Pictures please! And congrats!
I finally ordered and received my P99 9MM and I can't wait to shoot it. I've been spending the afternoon getting the hang of the AS trigger, but I've never held a gun that fit so well in my hand.
I'm hoping to get some range time tomorrow.
Will do, I'm pissed I thought I would be able to sneak out of work this week to hit the range but I didn't have time. Weekends are crazy there so the best I think I can do is late next week. I can't wait to shoot this gun.
I love the P99/SW99 guns and own several in 3 different calibers.
The trigger will really smooth out nicely after break in.
I was finally able to get out and shoot it today and have a few questions/comments. I did a field strip and noticed the slide spring is made of plastic. How durable is this and can it be replaced with a metal one? (Should it be replaced?)
I was a little surprised the recoil on the 9mm, my S&W M&P doesn't kick that much but felt good. I had problems with the first shot in Double Action, it was hard to determine where the breaking point so the first shot was a lot off target. Any suggestions to get use to it?
I'm assuming you meant that the guide rod is plastic as opposed to the spring itself. The plastic rod bothered me as well, though I'm pretty sure it's more of a peeve of mine than any real functional issue. The guide rod simply holds the spring in place during disassembly. It takes no load at all during functioning.
That being said, it still bugged me enough that I purchased a Sprinco Recoil Reducer, which is made of stainless steel. My P99 is .40cal, and is a bit snappy. My primary reason in buying it was to replace the flimsy rod though.
Regarding the breaking point, if you have the AS (anti stress) trigger, it's a bit different than a traditional DA/SA setup. The first pull from a chambered firearm is light and long, as opposed to the light and short of the following shots. Decocking the firearm will give you the long and harder DA trigger. Takes a while to get used to.
I guess I just need some more range time to get used to, I was accurate in SA just a few in off target in DA. It was fun to shoot that's for sure.
I have had mine about a year now and wish I could pick up a 2nd.!!!!
The feel of this gun in my hand is perfect !!!!
I personally have no complaints about any of the Walthes I have!
Love it and the PPS!!!

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Oct 6, 2006.
yup. i agree that is a definite possibility.
Re: Ben rips Flip Gosh, you ain't kiddin'. That was quite a rip job by Ben. I think I need to sit back and digest that one for a while. Funny how this turned from Ben being tight lipped to having an all out explosion. Looks like he didn't take to kindly to the whole Ben prevented us from getting pass Miami theory Flip cooked up. Fuel for the rivalry I guess. Still have to digest what I read.
That was a great interview/article...it confirmed all I had suspected about Ben's departure...and a lot I have suspected about Flip's character and his ability to lead a team. For anyone wanting to characterize Ben as a malcontent You're talking about a guy that flourished under the coaches that respected him and he respected back. Flip clearly had no respect for Ben because he didn't fit his offensive playbook...and, as Ben made clear in the interview, Flip doesn't even own a defensive playbook. Why Joe brought him here, the former defensive capitol of the NBA, I have no idea...except that he was one of the only guys available at the time. I still contend that we would have done no worse last season had Joe hired Laimbeer instead. At least he has the defensive mindset that got the Pistons a title...and IMO, all of the players respected him: his legacy as a player that won it all and as a coach that has won it all on a professional level. Now...Ben has left...the face-of-the-franchise...a 4-time DPOY...a guy that every one of the Piston players loved and respected for what he does best. But he didn't fit in with Flip's 'plan'. Flip ruined a great team chemistry that was founded on defensive principle. Don't be surprised when Chauncey bolts at the end of this season. The article has served to reinforce my belief that Joe & BillD made a horrific mistake in turning out LB. The more I think about all that has happened...the more I shake my head. Note the original title of this thread. Flip was never interested in 'negotiating'. He brought his system in without regard for what the Pistons are/were.
My sentiments exactly detteam. :(
in his training camp log today blakely asks whether we really ever knew Ben http://www.mlive.com/pistons/weblog/index.ssf?/mtlogs/mlive_pistons/archives/2006_10.html#192331 and i'm thinking to myself: "what a bizarre question to ask!" of course we didn't know ben. nor should we feel entitled to think that we now know the "real" ben wallace. we see these guys play basketball, which certainly can tell us something about their character. perhaps we read some stories about some of them off the court (i.e. Indy's Jackson) and maybe from that we can draw some idea of their decision making ability, etc... but i really wouldn't kid myself that i know something about these players as human beings based on the content of comments that they may or may not have made in just such terms to an interviewer who is getting paid to write a story that people will want to read. it's certainly entertaining to speculate as to what feelings were involved last season and over the summer and even more fun when you get an article like this that throws us some nuggets of maybe-truth to toss on the fire, but it might not be a bad idea to take a step back too. as numerous posters on the forum have said: clearly the blame falls somewhere in the middle, or rather, everyone involved ought to shoulder some responsibility for last season and for the parting of ways between Ben and the Pistons. Really, beyond that, how much more --- that is meaningful and serious, i mean --- is there really to say about the issue?
Here is what Chauncey had to say: "I don't think he was any different towards Flip than he was towards Larry or Rick." Check out Blakely's weblog, MLive.com: Everything Michigan. We all love Ben, but how can you guys defend these comments, especially in light of his behavior during the Orlando game?
Well said. It's dead and we know that there is always some truth to any story. How much is anyones guess and we will prolly never know so it's time to look forward to our season as is.
Thanks for typing this Det, because now I don't have to. You captured my sentiments exactly. I will miss Ben, and even more, I will miss a system that emphasized tough defense. :(
I suppose that it was the make up of the team the compromised the awesome power of the offensive playbook. I don't think chauncey will bolt. He will relish this system.
I agree with Chauncey staying. However, if it looks like Flip may not return, CB may explore the market. Flip has given CB more freedom than he has ever had in his career, he may not get that freedom with another coach.
good point DLEV. too bad we missed avery johnson.
Ben just confirmed every bad thought I've ever had about Flip. And McCoskey confirmed, for the fiftieth time, how much of a brown nosing hack he really is.
I don't know that McCoskey is a brown noser. I think he's just totally clueless. I mean he did write the infamous "Ivory Tower" article and that was hardly brown nosing, but it was definitely clueless.
What happens in negotiations, stays in negotiations.
Flip hating? Where was all the Flip hating last season when the Pistons were breaking franchise records for wins? It seems like myself and a few others were the only ones concerned with the teams direction. I was complaining all year about lack of rebounding, paint scoring, and poor bench development. Most just kind of shrugged. It wasn't until our flaws showed up in the playoffs that the backlash started. Now with the Ben situation many of you fickle fans want Flips head on a platter. I guess because my big basketball brain spotted the problems early, I'm not going to OVER-react like you cry babies. Bottomline, Flip is a pretty darn good coach. Yes, he had his issues last season, but Carlisle and Brown had problems also. So quickly you forget. Micheal Curry ring a bell? What about Darvin Ham? Have you forgotten about scoring droughts, and getting swept? I hated both of them. Well, LB's first year wasn't so bad "after" the Sheed trade. Anyways, I suggest you give Flip another chance. If he repeats the same mistakes I'll agree he needs to go.
Re: Flip hating? that's pretty much 2/3 of the forum. The rest was "giving Flip a chance"
Re: Flip hating? It was right here baby. I said it from day one and now others are joining.... Before, I simply thought McCrapsky was full of excrement.... Big Ben won't bite lip about Flip - 10/07/06 - The Detroit News Online Now, I really just dislike the guy. For God's sake Chris, you 're NOT going to lose your lockerroom pass. Just stop it already.... What, are you aiming for a shower pass next?
If the Pistons do not win 50+ games next season, Flip has to go. No more excuses about not fully utilizing the offensive plays in his playbook and no bench. A good coach will make the bench better.
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the lockerroom today... I'd really love to know where Tay, Dice and Rip are on this. Chauncey IMO is a wonderful player, esp. harnessed in a system, but tied to Flip. We know where Sheed stands. So there's the likely leaders of each faction. The other three guys are probably the ones Flip needs to get on his side if he's gonna last the season. Dice and Tay were part of the playoff rebellion, so perhaps they're leaning Sheed's way. Rip's a mystery. Hopefully Flip continues to stupidly woo Sheed. Flip should know better than to try to win over a Dean Smith product with his garbage.
I chose to stand in the middle on this one. It's all a crap shoot. Too many inconsistencies in the story. Ben liking Carlisle and Larry Brown, truly absurd. The season need to hurry up and start before we get totally out of control on this Flip vs Ben stuff (It ain't even about that). I would like to know one thing, maybe, just maybe somebody out there can oblige me. Where Are All The Pistons Fan At?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I also recommend the limited ingredient diet. Same thing went on for our Maverick. We ultimately learned, no sweet potatoes as they can have a laxative effect and we feed very limited veggies as they are too high in fiber for her. We went raw 11 months ago and its the best decision we ever made. all GI issues...gone. Haven't been to the vet in 11 months for any issues and she is thriving beautifully. We still add the probiotic and digestive enzymes (Animal Essentials) even though in theory you shouldn't need to with the raw. Its what works for her, so we will continue.
|Purina E/N is another good food to get their system back to normal.
|Del's Mom
|I had the same problem with my 11 month old GSD. He did okay on Royal Canin GSD food. But I now have switched him to a RAW diet and he is doing great. However, he does not do good if I add vegetables to his diet. Hope this helps!
I would try a limited ingredient kibble. There are lots of brands out there that carry limited ingredient foods, but a couple of higher quality ones are Pure Vita, Nutrisca, Back to Basics, Nature's Variety, California Naturals.
If you don't want something quite that holistic, there are other "middle of the road" brands that also carry limited ingredient kibbles. Those would be Blue Buffalo Basics, Natural Balance LID, Wellness Simple.
If your pup is having diarrhea on the higher quality kibble, it might be because it's too rich for him. Each dog is different... So if he does well on Hills, then it's OK to stick with that kind. A lot of people feed Hills. It's nothing to be ashamed of. So if he's doing well on it, I say stick with it until he gets older. Then you can try transitioning him over to a higher quality kibble.
I think a very bland, limited ingrediant food like Natural balance
Sweet Potato and Salmon may work. If you read the ingred. list there are literally no additives. It worked wonders for Ramsey who tested pos. for EPI bur really suffered from food allergies and a not so great digestive system when he was young. The NB food is as bland as they get.
Diet for GI problems
Rylee is 5 months now and has gastrointestinal health issues so his poop is always loose and runny. I've tried two different foods and he hasnt transitioned well to either. The latter being Simply Nourish, I had heard good things about it and thought it would work but his stomach got the last laugh. He was prescribed Hills Prescribtion Diet I/D canned wet food for 5 days by the vet and that was the only time his stool was solid. Soon as I transitioned him off of it, stool went back loose. But I heard that Hills Diet wasn't a good food for long term. What foods do any of you know of that may help be a permanent fix?

Imagine if you had only ONE customer.
You could:
Now add 10 customers.
You simply CANNOT pay attention to all those people individually!
HOWEVER....there's a Magical Slave Machine that can do the grunt work for you.
You can simply write emails like you're trying to swoon just ONE
customer.....but it can be replicated over and over....
OK Young Sumo-ling....you get the point :-)
So what we're talking about is autoresponders....
Autoresponders are basically email robots that you set and forget' just once' and they do all the customer swooning for you.
YOU KNOW THAT ANNOYING FRIEND YOU HAVE that only calls when he needs something?
You HATE that guy!!
It's also why people HATE getting emails from companies, because they only hit you up when they want to sell something.
But what if you actually GAVE your customers GOOD stuff all the time?
This is exactly how us fatass Sumo use autoresponders.
Here is an over-dramatic drawing of this process (forgive the poor drawing, my Sumo-hands are too fat to hold a pen correctly)!
That picture is really damn cheesy. But the principle behind it works really damn well.
Giving customers amazing information makes them MUCH more likely to listen to you, and eventually BUY from you.
Buuuttttt Suuummoooo.......I don't think autoresponders will work in MY industry!!
Stop your annoying whining Young Sumo-ling....
...autoresponders can help pretty much ANY business you're in. In fact, we even go through REAL case studies in this AutoresponderKourse, and even setup a REAL autoresponder in front of your face.
We go through examples of:
I'm gonna show you (right in front of your face) what kind of content works best for autoresponders.
FREE TIP: Really boring businesses can send out case studies in their autoresponders with great success.
AND IF YOU SUCK AT WRITING, I'm gonna even show you where to get great stuff your email list (and no, this isn't some spammy fake-article generation crap).
So if you have a list of contacts, and AREN'T regularly hitting them up with good stuff, I would HIIIIGGGHLY suggest you checkout this kourse.
And this Sumo prides himself on keeping this kourse short and
So get your fat Sumo hands on this AutoresponderKourse, and by TONIGHT you will know exactly how to implement them on your site and start warming up your customers.
P.S. If you have employees who do marketing for you, this is a
FANTASTIC kourse for them to watch (and it won't take em long either).
Quite basic stuff...but exactly what I needed. 5 stars.

The Autoresponders Kourse is an essential in any legit entrepreneur's arsenal for marketing awesomeness. I know for a fact my company would be paying ~thousands~ for a consultancy or some lame workshop at a conference to deliver this very same info in a way not even an iota as fun... Thanks, Neville--and AppSumo--for another hit! I think: between the Business Blueprint, the original Kopywriting Kourse, and this Autoresponder Kourse...you've got 90% of the heavy lifting covered when it comes to figuring out business online. I can enthusiastically recommend all of 'em. In fact, ~you~, dear reader, don't wait...you really need this Kourse!!!

I might just be really slowww, but I've actually known about autoresponders for years.
I even had ppl explain that they're for "making your customers remember you"...and "it take takes 7x in front of a customer before they buy'.
But I never ever truly understood the power of them until watching the first 5-10 mins of this kourse.
I never got excited to actually implement a serious autoresponder campaign until Neville showed how any business can use them to WARM UP its customers to get them excited to buy.
On top of that, Neville's gonna get your mind coming up with a list of ideas you could do to replicate the success he's had.
I feel like this is a kourse that's mandatory for any (want)entrepreneur on AppSumo. I'm sure the price is gonna go up once people see how valuable it is.

I really like how that Neville Medhora guy says stuff on camera. And I learn.
He reminds me of myself.

I think it is a great product. It shows you specifically how to work with autoresponders and gives useful ideas for different types of campaigns (infoproducts, traditional businesses, etc.) I know it will help me create and deliver a lot of value for my readers and generate a lot of money for me as an inevitable consequence of solving problems for people.
Great work Señor Medhora!!

It's a good deal, but not an $80 deal. If you were to buy all of these items on Amazon at current prices, you'd pay $62.75 w/free shipping. This is $49.99 + $5 shipping. So, still a deal, if you have use for all four of these, but it's more of a 12% off deal. At that price, I might skip the deal and buy the ones I really want over at Amazon.
Melissa and Doug makes great kids' toys.
Just in time for my Unit on 'Food' that I'm starting next week with my Kindergarteners... except I'm a first year teacher so I don't really have $50 to go throwing around. Maybe in a year or so if this deal comes back!
My daughter plays with her Melissa and Doug play food every single day.
We picked up a bunch of sets last year when Amazon had most of the play food sets on sale for $10 a set.
What is sort of a bummer is that the sets don't really play well with her Step2 kitchen. The food is too big for the pots and pans & the baking trays don't fit in the oven. I'm aware that there are other sized kitchens out there, but they don't really fit in with ours. She still has tons of fun with it (uses her night stand as her oven with these...heee!) and we highly recommend these.
From MSRP this is a very good deal, however as was mentioned this time of year they tend to have them on sale. If you want the convenience of a one-stop purchase to compliment your kid's new play kitchen this Christmas this would not be a bad way to go. I got my M & D play food from Amazon on black Friday (actually midnight-ish Thursday night) for 1/2 off which was better deal than this, but it was a matter of racking my brain trying to decide which ones I wanted. I ended up with the cookie set, birthday cake set, cutting-food set (a huge hit) and the 4 food groups set.
Wow, this is a great deal. Too bad for me, for I had already spent my dispensable cash for the month.
If you live by an AC Moore craft goods store, they have Melissa & Doug items at 40% off this week (they have this sale price more weeks than not). For the weeks when it's not on sale, they always have printable coupons online for anywhere from 40-55% off 1 item.
Our wooden Melissa & Doug items have never held up well (break easily, paint chips fast, splinters) but I do like their felt food & non-wooden puzzles.
As some have already pointed out, there may be other options as far as price goes. As far as the product itself? Wonderful!
I already have purchased most Melissa & Doug products for my nephew, or else I wpuld be all over this. I started with the cuttable fruit, and the most recent I believe was the pizza. Unfortunately, this bundle does not have the cuttable fruit, which is my nephew's favorite. When you "chop" through the velcro joints, it really feels like actually chopping food, which my nephew loves. Still, all the products I have purchased have proven safe. I bought the first set when he was 3; he is five now and every piece looks as good as it did the day I bought it. So, they definitely are long lasting.
Point being: great, long lasting products, I am a huge fan... Sad that they don't include the cuttable fruit.
..on that note, is cuttable a word? Haha.
"Realistically sized so your child's imagination doesn't have to work so hard"
Um... Don't we want our kids to have good, hard-working imaginations? I appreciate that we want them not to be pie-in-the-sky about everything, but they do need to learn to differentiate between fact and fiction.
This is actually a very tempting deal (with my nieces in mind), but after some considerations I think I'll just opt fir a few individual sets from amazon which are about $15 each with free shipping.
Basically it comes down to this: i don't like all the sets on the kids.woot deal as much as some of the others I could get. The cupcake set and pantry foods set are very cool and I would rather have those than the pizza or cookie one. There isn't anything wrong with the kids.woot deal, but at $50 it isn't great. For only a few more dollars more I can have choices of whatever set I want.
I hate to say it, but ff this had been maybe $10 cheaper, my price consciousness would have overridden the desire for choice part of my brain.

Ankara has been the capital of the Turkish Republic since 1923. It's a large city that reminds most travelers of a city in the West. While it is a large and booming metropolis, it has fewer tourist attractions than one might imagine. However, it's a great place to spend the weekend. Ankara has two distinct districts; the old city, which was originally called Angora, because of the large production of Angora goat's wool that was produced here and the new Ankara, the big city. There are Ankara hotels in both areas. EasyToBook.com can help you find hotels in Ankara, whether you're looking for a five star luxury resort or one of the discount hotels Ankara offers. If you're on a budget, finding Ankara cheap hotels is a great way to save cash.While you're here, be certain to stroll the Angora area, which is the old city, centered around the old citadel. And, be certain to visit Hattusha, the archaeological site of the once capital of the Hittite Empire. It's an impressive set of ruins, including preserved temples and ornate gates. You'll also want to visit Ahi Elvan Camii, a small 13th century mosque that was renovated in 1413. And, see the Caracalla Baths, the remains of Roman baths constructed by the emperor Caracalla between 212 and 217.

Yes, and until that is changed we will never include it.
You should try out openvas instead
Still problems with licensing?
Yes, and until that is changed we will never include it.
You should try out openvas instead
Ty. I'm using both atm.
Archangel Amael's BT Tutorials: OpenVAS
Nessus is not included, due to redistribution issues. This will not change until Tenable change their minds. OpenVAS is an excellent replacement.
What license terms are making it so hard to add Nessus?
OpenVAS is almost identical to Nessus anyway and is a great substitute. Nessus does have alot more plugins then OV, but still it works great for me
Given that their product is a paid service (updates to the system) its understandable why they would not want to have it included. It is somewhat odd though that they'd be against including the base software without the feeds and allow users to register their own as they see fit - home or professional grade. I've got 4.2 installed and it works great, the reports are concise and well organized. I need to do some more comparisons against OpenVAS (which is currently not installed here).

We live in an invisible ocean of life, with millions of microbes swarming around us. Microbes can live many miles high in the upper atmosphere, and they may actually be able to feed and grow in clouds. Green and I talk not just about high-altitude aerobiology, but about the microbes we share our homes and offices with, and how better understanding them can help our health.

Missing since October, Abby Hernandez is home
CONWAY — More than nine months after her disappearance, 15-year-old Abigail Hernandez is now united with her family and is in good health, authorities said. But questions remain.
"This is an ongoing criminal investigation; she was 14 years old and she could not have facilitated all of this on her own," Senior Assistant Attorney General Jane Young said Monday.
The Kennett High School freshman was last seen walking home from school on Oct. 9, 2013. Her disappearance sparked a massive search that involved hundreds of volunteers, the Attorney General's Office, FBI, the state police Major Crime Unit and local police.
"Abby was reunited with her family late Sunday evening; she is in good condition, but that's all I can say about that," Young said. "The investigation continued through (Sunday night) and is ongoing as we try to answer the questions of where she's been for the past nine months."
Abigail sent a letter to her mother a few weeks after her disappearance, but authorities refused to disclose the letter's contents.
In a news release Monday, authorities said: "The facts and circumstances surrounding Abigail's disappearance continue to be actively investigated ... Further details will be provided once it has been determined that releasing additional information will not compromise the integrity of the ongoing criminal investigation."
Zenya Hernandez, Abigail's mother, told the Union Leader Monday night: "Today we are the happiest people on earth," but would not comment further.
Amanda Smith, one of the volunteers who conducted social media campaigns in hopes of finding Abigail, said Abigail's family and friends are overjoyed.
"I can't begin to say how happy we are, or how relieved we are," she said. "Zenya (Hernandez) says thank you to everyone for the help and support. We never lost hope."
On his Facebook page, volunteer Paul Kirsch said of the volunteers who helped search for Abigail, "it reminds me of all that is good in my community and the world."
On the Bring Abby Home web page, a message was posted Monday night.
"Abby is safely home with her mom and sister!! Family requests privacy right now. Thank you to everyone who has shared fliers, offered help and support. We can't thank you enough!! We will keep you all updated."
Young thanked the public for helping during the investigation and said, "we continue to welcome the public's assistance as the investigation continues."

Forrester analysts are encouraged to "make the call" and here's a call that is sure to invite some heated disagreement (native advertising has a way of doing that).
Today my report about native advertising came out and, if I had to bottle up the recommendation of the entire report in a two-word slogan, this would be it: Worth pursuing. That's not "pour all your advertising dollars into it", "go hog wild!" or any variant on that theme. By "worth pursuing", I would say that it: a) is a very imperfect tactic, b) holds great promise, and c) requires some experience to get right.
(First of all, if you're not sure what native advertising is, quickly go here [definition] or here [examples]).
Let's start by assessing the promise of native advertising. What's so great about it?
From a marketer's perspective, the opportunity to go from a position "next to the show", "interrupting the show" or "between the shows", to "part and parcel of the show" is extraordinary. The church/state editorial wall that media outlets have trained advertisers to respect has become porous, and it's the outlets themselves who are pounding holes in it (most recently, the New York Times). That change should not be underestimated.
Posted by Ryan Skinner on January 6, 2014
One thing can be said definitively about native advertising: It is poorly understood.


text: i disagree with that. when we were winning, there were long stretches with Bynum, Stuckey AND BG on the floor and it worked. I think Bynum is coming off the bench because a)he's still not healthy enough to play starter minutes, and b)if he started we wouldn't have any real scoring off the bench.


text: We've discussed Meryl Streep and the Oscar love (17 nominations + this year's TBD) and snubbing (2 wins) she's had over some 23 years. So, I thought I'd write a poll that asks "in which year was Meryl most robbed?" Since I have a feeling one or two options will dominate, please select two or three .. better to stir the discussion. I've had to cram three into "Other" due to the 12-maximum restraint for FSU polls. Feel free to bring up non-nominated roles in which Meryl should've won/been nominated. Reminder, Streep's wins were: ** 1980: (Supporting) Kramer V Kramer ** 1983: Sophie's Choice Yes, it's been 19 damned years since America's greatest actress has won an Oscar! .

One of the jewels in Northern England's crown, Manchester is a fun and vibrant city filled with more things than you could imagine that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Steeped in history that ranges from the city's industrial revolution and impact on the music industry, which included Northern Soul and 90s dance culture, to its impact on science and culture, being the city where the stored program computer was developed.
Alongside this you'll find a dynamic old meets new vibe visible in its stunning architecture, many museums, cosmopolitan bars, traditional pubs, varied shopping and dining opportunities and its eclectic and diverse community.
No matter what you're looking for, you'll find it in this Northern gem, so start planning your excursion today and book a bus to Manchester with megabus.com.
When we think of English cities filled with history and culture we often let our minds wander to the south of the country; but Manchester has all this by the bucket load.
Delve into the city's history at one of the many museums. The People Museum is Manchester's only national museum, where you can learn the story of British democracy that spans more than 200 years, whereas those interested in the history of war, head to The Imperial War Museum. Here you'll find a number of exhibitions encompassing moments that happened during the 20th and 21st centuries.
Situated amongst the remains of the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station you'll find The Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) detailing the many scientific achievements that have taken place in Manchester, such as the splitting of the atom.
For those interested in places filled with outstanding beauty, there are a number of art galleries throughout the city landscape. The Manchester Art Gallery plays home to a number of permanent European artworks and also houses the most significant collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings in Britain, whereas the Whitworth Art Gallery showcases a whole host of modern day sculptures, art work and textiles.
Culture vultures will fall in love immediately with The Lowry, which plays home to an eclectic mixture of theatres, exhibitions and galleries; showcasing worldwide photography, sculptures and paintings, alongside playing home to world famous musicals, plays and performers across the years. Whereas the recent addition to the Manchester landscape, HOME, houses international theatre, art and film following the merger of the Library Theatre Company and the Cornerhouse.
If it's theatre you like, Manchester knows how to put on a good show, with the Opera House and the Palace Theatre, regularly playing home to large scale touring shows and performances fresh off London's West End. Whereas the Royal Exchange Theatre is the UK's largest theatre in the round.
The musical history of Manchester can't be denied, birthing some of the UKs biggest names in music and creating musical movements all of its own. Venues such as the Manchester Arena, the Manchester Apollo and the Manchester Academy regularly welcome emerging artists alongside some of the world's most renowned entertainers.
Manchester's vibrant, lively and diverse culture can be seen in a whole host of events that take place within the city, such as the bi-yearly Manchester International Festival; a huge arts festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of people. Alongside this you'll also find annual festivals such as The Parklife weekender, which takes place in Heaton Park and welcomes people from across the country to watch acts like Dizzee Rascal and Snoop Dogg, and Manchester Pride, the annual gay pride festival and parade that take place throughout the city, primarily in the gay village around Canal Street.
With many of the museums and galleries (above), available for free throughout Manchester, it's the perfect city to explore whether you're on a budget or have cash to burn.
You'll find excellent green spaces to wander around. Wythenshawe Park and Prestwich Forest are filled with thick, beautiful fields and woodland, making it a splendid place to sit down and enjoy the day. Whereas taking a trip to Heywood will introduce you to Queen's Park; perfect for those family days out, with a playground, lake, outdoor gym and theatre and tennis courts.
Piccadilly Gardens, right in the middle of Manchester's buzzing city centre, also offers a green space to sit and watch the hustle and bustle of city life pass you by, surrounded by a number of great places to grab a bite to eat.
Get to learn more about the history of Manchester and experience its fantastic architecture as you pay a visit to the Manchester Cathedral, which dates back to the 1800s and has sections belonging to the 7th century. Follow this up by exploring the Manchester Town Hall, which displays beautiful statues of famous locals in its forecourt; the largest being Prince Albert. This square also becomes the home of the famous Manchester Christmas Markets each year, so if you're here in the winter months, be sure to check it out.
Literature lovers will also be in their element whilst exploring two treasure troves of the written word. John Rylands Library was constructed in 1889 and houses a vast collection of books. The Grade I listed building is part of the University of Manchester and is just as fascinating outside, with its late-Victorian neo-Gothic architecture, as it is inside. Whereas the Manchester Central Library brings old and new together with its historical collection of books that sit alongside its recent digital lease of life.
If you head over to the Castlefield Conservation Area, you'll be treated to a wonderful green space that plays home to the ruins of a Roman fort and granary set. A short walk from here will bring you to the famous canal, where you can take a leisurely stroll and observe the canal boats on their daily excursions.
Bursting at the seams with so many fantastic things to do, the magnitude of attractions in Manchester is almost endless in the bustling and vibrant city.
Whereas the city is notable for its influence on the music industry, another area it's thrived and impacted on throughout history is the world of sport; in particular football. Fans of the beautiful game can experience the passion for the sport that runs through the city's veins at the stadiums for its two rival teams, Manchester City and Manchester United, which both offer tours of their famous grounds. If you want to delve a little deeper into the world of football, then take a trip to the National Football Museum, which plays home to a number of important collections of association football memorabilia.
Animal lovers will be pleased to hear about the Manchester Sea Life Centre, which provides hours of family fun with its wondrous underwater experience. Playing home to more than 5 000 aquatic animals, you can enjoy the sights of sharks, octopus, seahorse and many, many more. You can even embark on Europe's first seabed walk, known as the SeaTREK.
A little bit outside the city centre, next to the Trafford Centre, you'll find the amazing Chill Factore. Home to the UK's longest indoor real snow slope, people of all ages and all levels, can take part in a number of exciting sports from sledging and snowboarding to skiing and snowscooting.
With so much to see and do in Manchester, from paid for attractions to the abundance of free things on offer, booking a bus to Manchester will open up more experiences than you could imagine.
With shopping unparalleled, Manchester is a go to destination for those who love nothing more than shopping until they drop; with everything from independent retailers and vintage finds to high street favourites and high end department stores.
In the Northern Quarter, you'll find a host of independent retailers selling vintage steals and second hand bargains, from books and furniture, to vinyl records and fashion staples of time gone by to fawn over. Afflecks, formerly Affleck's Palace, is also a great place to check out, filled with various independent retailers where you'll find vintage numbers, fancy dress pieces, original wardrobe items and piercing shops galore.
The Arndale shopping centre, located at the city's heart, is filled with a host of well-known high street staples popular across the country; whereas big department stores such as Selfridges and Harvey Nichols can be found right around the corner.
A little further out, the Trafford Centre offers another great shopping experience. Filled with a wide selection of High Street names and department stores, you'll find everything from John Lewis and Selfridges to TopShop, All Saint's, Debenhams and GAP, alongside the likes of Apple, Disney and Cath Kidston. You'll also find an IMAX cinema and giant food court offering a variety of fast food and sit down dining opportunities.
The city offers a whole host of different dining experiences wherever you are, chances are there's somewhere to grab a bite right next to you.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Been on there, but no luck yet. I'll just keep hammering away.
Northern Arkansas. There are a few around here. You just have to keep looking. I would check http://members.boardhost.com/BadCad/
Somebody on there might be near your area.
Hey Wmarden.\
Were you lacated? Im looking for a Caddy 500 motor. If your close to Ohio and not using it, give me a leed on it. Tnx, Hg
|I am going to go with the 455 as long as the block tests out allright. I am bringing the cutlass home today. Also it turns out it was a 71, not a 72. But close enough for government work. Already got the title over here. Just need to clear out some space for it in the basement.
|I've read in the past about putting Caddi engines in G-body's. The real problem is the exhaust manifold on the driver's side. all sorts of things have to be "tweeked" such as the steering shaft and upper A-frame. I really don't have a clue if there will be a problem in your auto but I bet between the oil pan and exhaust manifold there will be some sort of problems. Your best source it to e-mail MTS. I'm very sure that they will know exactly what you're dealing with. Also, don't forget that unless you get the smaller chamber heads, that 500 will be a slug, but I'm sure you know that! If you want ease of installation with no surprises, then go with the Olds. Incidently, I put a 455 in my 81 Cutty. What a piece of cake, easy job! Every thing fit, including the crossover exhaust pipe under the oil pan to the passenger exhaust manifold and then it even lined up the the catalytic converter!
The easiest part is that the trans bolt pattern is the same. I would have to fabricate motor mounts and really work on the exhaust manifolds/headers. Those are the two main areas of concern aside from the oil pan. Plus the steering might need to be moved for the exhaust. It would be a pain, but I would probably go that way if the block is not sound.
[ October 21, 2002: Message edited by: Wmarden ]</p>
you have got me on a lock between two motors i love.
Thank you for not going with the chevy i must say (i do like the chevy but i find it in too many olds, cati, and buicks which shouldn't happen)
My opinion is stick with the olds 455. if cost is your concern and headache then you shouldn't go with the 500 because you would have to buy too many conversion parts for it to work and i don't think there are many parts companys that will change a 455 olds to a 500. However they are both GM so i really don't know if it is easy to change them or not.
455 vs 500?
I posted pretty much the same post on the MTS message board for 500 caddy fans.
Basically I am getting a 72 cutlass with a 455 in need of rebuild. Actually the whole car needs to be put back together almost, but that is another several posts. But I find myself debating the powerplant. Like I said the cutlass has the 455 olds motor in need of a rebuild. But I also have a line on a 500 caddy out of a 72 eldorado. One thing that would make the swap easier is that the front sheet metal is off. SO now is the time to decide this stuff.
The price I can find on rebuild kits for the 455 is roughly 4-500 dollars. This includes cast pistons, which with the driving I do would be enough for my needs. Any better prices or is that about what I can expect?
The 500 probably could run as is for 325$ (roughly). But then I would have the expenses of oil pan and exhaust work. BTW the 455 does have headers so it is good to go from an exhaust stand point. But the 455 would need machine work.
From a price stand point they are probably about equal when everything is added up, with maybe the 500 being a little cheaper. I am leaning toward using the 455 if the block is good. But I have always wanted a 500 caddy powered ride. And I have heard that the 500 gets a little better gas mileage. Neither is an economy motor though.
Main use would be basic driving, not hard racing. Except maybe from stop light to stop light. I basically want a good solid motor with low end power. Either would do that. I just want opinions on what you would do. Helps me figure out what I want to do.

About the hotel
Crazy Bear Stadhampton is the original - the Bear that lead the way for the small and exclusive collection of luxurious boutique hotels. Discreetly tucked away on 80 acres of working farmland in the green and pleasant Oxfordshire countryside, the hotel is full of surprises from the moment you step inside. From the oversized wooden sea admiral at the entrance to the double decker red bus reception, glorious Great British eccentricity and all-out luxury is the name of the game here.
The one-time 16th-century public house has been completely transformed to reveal luxurious boudoirs decked out with rich colour palettes, a sensory overload of the finest fabrics, Versailles-style furniture and much more. Each room is entirely unique and makes you feel part of a fabulous Fellini film. Feast on scrumptious home cooked dishes in the hotel's two restaurants, or take your time over an expertly mixed cocktail in the character-packed bar. The latter is a cosy and comfortable space that sits snugly beneath low timber beams and ornate chandeliers. When the weather's fine, head out for drinks on the terrace and if you're really going for it, you could always treat yourself to a Thai massage in the hotel's suitably opulent treatment room.

My Ride: 04 325xi
2004 325xi Projector Housings..
So I just searched a few pages on the forums here, and I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for.
TO start I drive a 2004 325xi (black on black)
What I want to do is replace my current halogen housings with projector housings.
I've found a bunch of different assemblies. None of which I actually "trust".
What I'm looking for is a black set of housings. They need to have a good lens in them, and I'd prefer to have LED angle eyes, as I'm told they are a lot brighter, as well as look better.
My plan was to get black projector housings with LED angel eyes, and 8K HID's.
The HID's I would be getting another time, as money is a crunch for me. But those I'd like a link to, if anyone knows of a good company.
I see prices for $35 kits.. and also $400 kits.
I know the more I spend the better the quality in most cases, but does anything have a good suggestion?
(55watt kits)
Also, I don't want any of the p46 assemblies as they aren't good enough for my standards. I need to see the road, and the P46's just aren't good enough for me. (A friend haD them and I disliked them.)
Thanks so much in advance for the help.
