If anyone has a 464 they are afraid to admit it.
i know i might get shot for saying this but does anyone have this ss 30/30 mossberg if so how is the action and what kind of groups did it shoot. I have owned 3 mossberg shotguns for 30+ yrs and never had a problem they are used and abused and still work great.
If anyone has a 464 they are afraid to admit it.
I have a Mossberg 472 in 30-30. It's a great gun. In my opinion, there are several improvements to the early Marlin 336s - which it is patterned after. It never caught on with the public, however, and was only produced for a few years (mine's a 1973 model).
The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.
― Charles Bukowski
I haven't read anything bad about them. Looking at them in the store they are a nice solid rifle. If I didn't have a 30-30 now I would be buying one.
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.
I have a Mossberg 885 Turkey shotgun that is great and wouldn't hesitate to buy a 464 Mossberg if I didn't already have three 30 30 one Win. and two Marlins. But I do like them and at the present time it's the only affordable lever action 30 30 rifle you can buy with confidence. The Mossberg family I believe is still running the business. There is always the Henry 30 30 Blue and walnut that is made with the hunter in mind for a few dollars more M.S.R.P.* $749.95.
Personally I like the Mossberg model 41020 blue steel walnut pistol grip stock, M.S.R.P.* $535.00.
My Avatar is my brother John who left me to soon. He was 10 Y/O 1 month older than me. He took me off the Streets of Brooklyn taught me how to handle a rifle and to hunt. For his attention I would always be grateful. Rest in Peace Brother John.
I'll buy one as soon as we run out of used Marlins and I wear out th 5 30-30s I have now.
Blessed is he who expects nothing for he shall not be disapointed
Gater, you make me feel needy. I only have four. Also congratulations on the ADL. Mine is near "beater" status but it still works and is smooooooth! Good day, jack
This I-pad knows what I want to say and how to spell better than I do. Sometimes I catch it's mistakes, sometimes I don't.
cabelas has the 464 in their sale flyer for $400
I would buy a nice used Marlin for $400 or less!
Is that the new one? To me it looked kinda like a *******ized Win 94. Its basically a 94 action with a round bolt. But thats not a bad thing if you like that action. I dont so it doesn't interest me. I'd buy a Rossi though if I saw one & it looked like a good gun, or a Henry.

Windows stopped working until ignition reset
Hi Folks,
I'm new to the forum, and new to BMW DIY. Hello from Stephens City, Va.
The wife recently purchased a 1992 525i with the M50 engine and 227k Miles. The guy she bought it from told her that his mechanic said everything under the car looked fine. Well... he needs to find a new mechanic. I won't go into what I found and fixed already, but obviously the mechanic wasn't familiar with thrust and control arms.
So today we were out test driving the car after replacing the thrust and control arms (which did help immensely on the shimmy at 65mph-ish. Thanks forum members)... I tried to roll down the windows at a drive thru... no windows would roll down. Playing with the switches didn't do anything. So I figured something electrical went wrong. I turned the ignition off, and restarted the engine and the windows worked...???
So we stopped and fed with the windows down, restarted the car and drove off. Was a little cold so we tried to get the windows up. Nothing. Stopped the car, turned the engine off and then turned the key to the second position (before hitting the starter) and the windows rolled up. But that was it... they wouldn't work again until the power was cycled.
Damn... I can see another weekend shot to crap working on this thing.
From sifting thru the forum, I see mention of 2 items... Fusible link and a GM. I'm kinda leaning toward the GM because the windows work when there is a power cycle (it seems). I think I would benefit from replacing both (future problems) in that the fusible link is fairly cheap (I think).
Is there a proper part name for these? or better yet a part number?... I can't seem to find a "general module" or "fusible link" on the BMW parts site in south Atlanta. I found a basic module... but at $400... I'm hoping that's not it.
Whats in the GM that fails? relays? computer chips? solder joints?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
your problem is pretty unique, so you may have to open it up and find out yourself.
I hope to get to it tonight. Purchased a few fuse links beforehand just in case...
The wife got in it yesterday and it worked fine.
But... I'm still gonna pull the seat, replace the fuse and check the GM.
Well... I replaced the fuse even though it looked ok, I attempted removing the GM module with no luck. I just pushed it in real good and screwed the cover back down. Haven't had any problems with it since.
Took it on a first voyage (for the car) to key west... car was a dream to drive. decent gas mileage... 25-27MPG. Probably could have been better had I chose a lower cruise speed. I think this car is a keeper.
Could be you settled in a plug correctly. Cheap fix!! Hope it stays good. Enjoy your drive!

Americans more loyal to brands, country than company
By Walden Siew
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Americans are more loyal to their favorite soft drink, television show or car brand than they are to their employer, according to a joint Reuters/Ipsos poll.
But they are most committed to their country, followed by their family and their doctor.
"The most surprising thing was that country, which is more abstract, was No. 1, ahead of your family or spouse," said Timothy Keininghan, the author of the poll and a co-author of the book, "Why Loyalty Matters."
"There's a general belief that the government is broken, and people want to fix it," he said.
Seventy percent of Americans questioned in the survey said they are more loyal to their country now than they were two years ago.
Companies did not fare well when it comes to allegiance. Most Americans said they are more committed to their favorite soft drink than the company they work for.
Keiningham said the findings may reflect the impact the U.S. recession and Wall Street banking crisis has had on broader U.S. sentiment.
The poll by market research company Ipsos showed that the majority of Americans do not believe that companies are doing a good job rewarding loyal employees or customers. Continued...

I have purchased a new sig p239 and it shoots 12" low at 25 yards when shooting from a rest. Both front and rear sights are #8. The instruction manual suggests I go to higher number sights. Since #10 is the highest it will move me up 6", but I would still be 6" too low.
Any suggestions on what else to try before buying new sights?
I have other sig handguns and have no problems with them so I don't think its me...

Aly and AJ Michalka: Vancouver Vixens
Spending some sisterly time together, Aly and AJ Michalka were spotted out for a movie night in Vancouver, Canada on Sunday (December 5).
The "Potential Break-Up Song" singers both looked cute as they walked along together in the chilly winter weather after seeing James Franco's latest flick, "127 Hours."
And with her career having definitely taken a turn for the better thanks to CW's "Hellcats," Aly recently made an appearance on the KTLA News show to talk about her work efforts.
Of keeping her abs in tip-top shape for her cheerleading role, the blonde beauty told, "Well, I do 10 exercises, and I do 30 of each. There's like straight, there's ones with your legs up and there's the one where you're on your stomach and you come up. I mean this is some very technical stuff."
Enjoy the pictures of Aly and AJ Michalka out in Vancouver (December 5).

The act of removing the penis from ones pantaloons and recieve a hearty laugh from the sexual accomplice. You then become quite enraged and punch the woman in the face then fucking her rectal cavity brutally until you hit the poo nerve, causing her to shit ferociously all over the male erectus. The constant flow of fecal matter causes the woman to lose conciousness due to a mass body fluid loss, to which you shit in her unconciouss mouth and fuck it some more until you blow your load in to her mouth orfice. Afterwards you tie her upside down to the fridge and drink the thick liquids that are expelled from her mouth. You then sew her mouth shut and poo on her face so she vomits and suffocates. You then fuck her dead body some more and then torch all evidence of the delicious occasion and then admit yourself into a mental institution where you undertake all previous steps on a psycho dilusional fuck who has no idea what is happening :D
OMG Guys did you hear about what happened on the weekend. Police say someone gave some biddy the angry blaker. That shit was literally fucked up.. *Holds Boner

The Packers hope OLB-DE Nick Perry can effectively follow in the footsteps of fellow USC product Clay Matthews, who wasted no time becoming a big-time star in Green Bay.
Entering the draft, the team's biggest need by far was for another pass rusher at defensive end or outside linebacker to complement Matthews, who was basically a one-man gang when it came to applying steady pressure on the passer this past season, although ILB Desmond Bishop did have his moments.
Only six sacks in the last seven games, counting the playoffs, isn't going to cut it again next season, and Perry will be counted on to improve those numbers in a hurry.
Even after adding 15-20 pounds last year, Perry is considered to have the kind of explosiveness needed to keep opposing QBs constantly nervous. As a hybrid pass-rushing outside linebacker/defensive end, he will compete with Brad Jones, Erik Walden and Frank Zombo for the starting OLB job opposite Matthews or else try to fill the void at defensive end created by the departure of Cullen Jenkins, who signed with the Eagles last offseason.
Perry, who had 9½ sacks in his final season at USC and 29½ tackles for loss in his college career, certainly passes the eyeball pass with a great-looking body. He has a sudden first step and terrific balance and body control that made him a terror against the likes of top OT prospects like Stanford's Jonathan Martin.
Ideally, Perry will fare a lot better than former second-round pick Mike Neal, who was envisioned as a replacement for Jenkins a year ago at this time but continued to have problems staying healthy. A four-game suspension to start the 2012 season makes matters worse for Neal, whose status could become increasingly shaky with Perry on board.
PFW draft expert Nolan Nawrocki Perry believes Perry would really benefit from having a reliable veteran position coach. In that regard, Mike Trgovac definitely fills the bill.

Police threaten or detain some 200 house church members who planned to attend.
DUBLIN, October 15 (CDN) — As organizers prepared for the opening of the Third Lausanne International Congress on World Evangelization tomorrow in Cape Town, South Africa, Chinese police threatened or detained some 200 delegates who had hoped to attend.
After receiving an invitation to attend the event, house church groups in China formed a selection committee and raised significant funds to pay the expenses of their chosen delegates, a source told Compass. Many delegates, however, were "interviewed" by authorities after they applied to attend the Congress, the source said.
When house church member Abraham Liu Guan and four other delegates attempted to leave China via Beijing airport on Sunday (Oct. 10), authorities refused to allow them through customs, reported the Chinese-language Ming Pao News. Officials detained one delegate and confiscated the passports of the other four until Oct. 25, the closing date of the conference.
China's State Administration for Religious Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security had notified border control staff that the participation of Chinese Christians in the conference threatened state security and ordered them not to allow delegates to leave, Liu told U.S.-based National Public Radio (NPR).
Officials also prevented two house church Christians from Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, from leaving the country, and on Oct. 9 placed one of them in a 15-day detention, the China Aid Association (CAA) reported.
When Fan Yafeng, leader of the Chinese Christian Legal Defense Association and winner of the 2009 John Leland Religious Liberty Award, discussed the harassment with NPR on Tuesday (Oct. 12), officials assigned some 20 police officers to keep him under house arrest.
On Wednesday (Oct. 13), approximately 1,000 police officers were stationed at Beijing International Airport to restrain an estimated 100 house church members who planned to leave for the Congress via Beijing, according to CAA.
CAA also said authorities over the past few months had contacted every delegate, from Han Christians in Beijing to Uyghur Christians in Xinjiang, for questioning, and threatened some family members.
Normal church operations were also affected. The Rev. Xing Jingfu from Changsha in Hunan province told NPR that authorities cited the Lausanne Congress when they recently ordered his church to close.
China's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ma Zhaoxu, in a statement issued to NPR, accused the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization of communicating secretively with members of illegal congregations and not issuing an official invitation to China's state-controlled church.
According to the Ming Pao report, the Lausanne committee said members of the Three-Self Protestant Movement had asked if they could attend. Delegates, however, were required to sign a document expressing their commitment to evangelism, which members of official churches could not do due to regulations such as an upper limit on the number of people in each church, state certification for preachers, and the confinement of preaching to designated churches in designated areas. House church Christians faced no such limitations.
The first such conference was held in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1974, which produced the influential Lausanne Covenant. The second conference was held in 1989 in Manila. Some 4,000 delegates from 200 countries are expected to attend the third conference in Cape Town.
Progress or Repression?
China watchers said there has been a slight easing of restrictions in recent months, accompanied by a call on Sept. 28 from senior Chinese political advisor Du Qinglin for the government to allow the independent development of the official church. Du made the remarks at the 60th anniversary celebrations of the Three-Self Patriotic Movement, according to the government-allied Xinhua news agency.
The BBC in August produced a glowing series on the growth of Christianity in China after Chinese authorities gave it unprecedented access to state-sanctioned churches and religious institutions. Religious rights monitor Elizabeth Kendal, however, described this access as part of a propaganda campaign by the Chinese government to reduce criticism of religious freedom policies.
NPR also produced a five-part series on Chinese religions in July. The series attributed the growth of religious adherence to the "collapse of Communist ideology" and pointed out that growth continued despite the fact that evangelism was "still illegal in China today."
The claims of progress were challenged by an open letter from Pastor Zhang Mingxuan, president of the Chinese Christian House Church Alliance, to Chinese President Hu Jintao on Oct. 1, China's National Day.
In the letter, published by CAA on Oct. 5, Zhang claimed that Chinese house church Christians respected the law and were "model citizens," and yet they had become "the target of a group of government bandits … [who] often arrest and beat innocent Christians and wronged citizens." Further, he added, "House church Christians have been ill-treated simply because they are petitioners to crimes of the government."
Zhang then listed several recent incidents in which Christians were arrested and sent to labor camps, detained and fined without cause, beaten, interrogated and otherwise abused. He also described the closure or demolition of house churches and the confiscation of personal and church property.
He closed with a mention of Uyghur Christian Alimjan Yimit, "who was sentenced to 15 years in prison because he evangelized among Uyghurs – his very own people."
Report from Compass Direct News
Judge rules Iranian convert from Islam requires protection from persecutors.
NAIROBI, Kenya, March 15 (CDN) — Mohammad Azbari, a Christian convert from Islam who has fled to Kenya, knows what it's like to be deported back to his native Iran.
When it happened in 2007, he said, Iranian authorities pressured the government of Norway to return him and his wife Gelanie Azbari to Iran after hearing rumors that he had forsaken Islam.
"When we arrived in Iran, we were interrogated by security and severely beaten," he told Compass in Nairobi, where he and his family fought to persuade the Kenyan government to decline Iran's demand to deport him back. "My son got scared and began urinating on himself."
A cousin managed to secure their release, but not before Iranian authorities had taken valuable – and incriminating – possessions.
"They took everything that I had – laptop, camera and some of my valuables which contained all my details, such as information concerning my baptism, and my entire profile, including that of my family," Azbari said.
Azbari had been employed in the Iranian army before fleeing, he said, and authorities were monitoring his movements because they were concerned that, having left Islam, he might betray his country and reveal government secrets.
When he and his Christian wife, a native of the Philippines, first fled Iran in 2000, he was still a Shia Muslim. The previous year authorities had arrested his wife after finding a Christmas tree in their house in Tehran; Azbari was not home at the time and thus escaped arrest, but as authorities took his wife away they left their then 3-year-old son unattended.
"I was put in a small cell for two days," Gelanie Azbari told Compass, through tears. "While in the cell two police guards raped me. It was the worst of all the nights I have had in my lifetime. Since that time I have been sick both physically and mentally."
Authorities soon took her husband in for interrogation, suspecting he was a spy for foreign states.
Still a Muslim, Azbari allowed his wife to follow her Christian faith. He had grown accustomed to watching her pray as a Christian and watch the Jesus Film. As time went by, he developed an urge to embrace Christianity. They started reading the Bible together.
The idea of trusting in and following Christ filled him with fear, as it was against the law to convert from Islam – it would mean losing his life, he said.
"I started questioning our leaders, who see themselves as God," he said. "The claim of Jesus as the prophet as well as the Word and spirit of God is indicated in the Quran. When I read in the Gospels of Jesus giving people rest, it made me want to decide to accept him as my Lord and Savior."
Sensing danger, the family fled to the Netherlands in 2000, and it was there that Azbari embraced Christianity. In 2003 the family left the Netherlands for Norway.
Azbari was an avid student of his new-found Lord; while in Norway, he became seminary teacher of Christology.
Throughout, Azbari said, the Iranian government had been monitoring his movements. In 2007 Iranian officials persuaded the Norwegian government to send him, together with his wife and son Reza Azbari, back to Iran.
After their interrogation and mistreatment upon arrival in Iran, Azbari managed to call his sister, who connected him with the army general cousin who helped secure their release. His sister took them in, but his brother in-law was not happy with their Christian prayers; he began quarreling with his wife, Azbari's sister.
"They began looking for trouble for us," Azbari said. "Sensing danger, we then left the home and went to find a place to stay. Everywhere we tried to book in we were rejected, since we were people who had been deported."
They began attending a church made up primarily of foreigners, where Azbari's wife and son felt more at home than he did. His army general cousin found out and, angry that they had sought refuge in a church after he had secured their release, grew furious.
"He was very angry, as they had also discovered this information from the laptop they had confiscated and threatened that I should be arrested," Azbari said. "I then decided to move to central Iran to look for employment, leaving my family behind."
The couple felt they could not go to Gelanie Azbari's homeland as the Philippines has such friendly relations with Iran, he said.
"To go back to Philippines or Iran is quite unsafe for us," Azbari said.
In October 2009, his sister notified him that police were looking for him and his family.
"I then decided to flee the country through Turkey, then to Kenya where I was arrested and then deported to Turkey," Azbari said. "In Turkey they could not allow me to enter the country, hence I was returned to Kenya."
They were arrested in January for illegal entry into Kenya. On March 4, a judge at Chief Magistrate Court No. 3 of Kenya dropped the charges against him, declaring that Azbari required international protection from his persecutors. The court also directed that Azbari be given back all his documents and the 10,000 Kenyan Shillings ($US130) in bail he had deposited.
They had applied for asylum with the United Nations. Appearing before the court on behalf of Azbari on Jan. 15, a representative of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees had argued that he deserved asylum because his religious status had forced him to flee from his country of origin. On March 4 the court found that Azbari and his family require international protection under Section 82 of the laws of Kenya, and he was set free.
"We have witnessed the love of God and the sacrifices of what it means to love one in word and deed," Azbari said moments after the decision. "We saw the love of Christ from the people who understood and stood with us."
He thanked friends who introduced his family to Nairobi Pentecostal Church, which provided them spiritual strength. Three attorneys represented Azbari: Wasia Masitsa, a legal officer for the Urban Refugee Intervention Program; Christian lawyer John Swaka; and Laban Osoro of the United Nations. Rene Kiamba of the International Christian Chamber of Commerce had helped him post bail.

The Canterbury Tales Remixed - SoHo Playhouse
Price: $19.50-$55
15 Vandam Street - 2123544660
New York, NY 10013
Description: Geoffrey Chaucer's timeless Canterbury Tales comes to vivid life in an "entertaining and brilliant" (Time Out) virtuoso performance linking today's hip-hop lyrics with the greatest stories ever told. Framed by gripping re-imaginings of the epic poems Gilgamesh and Beowulf, Canadian hip-hop artist Baba Brinkman forges a new masterpiece out of the rawest material etched onto vinyl, or carved into clay tablets. Just like the most heart-wrenching songs by Eminem or Kanye West, these ancient Tales are infused with lust, betrayal, infidelity, greed, jealousy, ambition, and the endless struggles between men and women seeking happiness. Baba Brinkman brings you a rich theatrical experience filled with laugh-out-loud hilarity and riveting storytelling, tracing a thread from Chaucer's venal Merchant and sensuous Wife of Bath to the muscular heroes of ancient lore, so similar to today's hip hop stars in their perpetual quest for glory. The Canterbury Tales Remixed is a truly modern telling of classic tales that will amaze young and old alike. The Canterbury Tales Remixed will now run through January 29, 2012 (originally set to close on January 8) at the SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street). Tickets are $55-$19.50, to purchase visit www.SoHoPlayhouse.com or call OvationTix customer service toll-free: 866-811-4111. Performances Schedule: Wednesday – Saturday at 7:30PM; Saturday and Sunday at 3PM

Lots of exciting things going on at Alfresco these days and as part of my parter marketing role, I started thinking about all the cool options we offer customers still using Alfresco AVM through our extensive network of partners.
In a recent post, Jeff Potts talked about the future of the Alfresco AVM. In this series, I'll bring the chart below to life by highlighting how through partner collaboration we are enabling organizations to do great work with web content services providing added flexibility and features.
In a recent conversation with Arnold Leung , CEO of Appnovation, we talked about the development of Canopy, the future of the solution and their experience with customers using the solution. Canopy was created by Appnovation for companies looking to combine Drupal, the highly-scalable and popular open source website development tool with Alfresco. We also awarded Canopy this year with the "Partner Solution of the Year," which recognized their innovation in creating a combined Drupal and Alfresco solution for customers.
Joe Tong, Alfresco: I'm talking with Arnold Leung, CEO of Appnovation Technologies about Canopy. First of all, congratulations on your recent award!
Arnold Leung, Appnovation: Thanks Joe! We appreciate your recognition as a key part of your WCS story and I'm excited to provide an update to Canopy as there have been many changes over the past few months since our last post.
Joe: First, lets start with a little background; can you talk about the genesis of Canopy?
Arnold: A little over a year ago, we were doing development for several clients using Alfresco as a back end repository while integrating it with other front end technologies such as Drupal for the web and SproutCore for web and mobile client side applications. From this, our integration solution, "Canopy," was born. This solution provides an accelerator for development and customization of these types front-end/back-end integrations.
Joe: Sounds great, what's the latest on Canopy?
Arnold: Well, things are going to be changing. Having recently received some funding from the Government of Canada to help continue the development of the platform, we plan to make it something that will be much more user friendly and easy to administer. The future release is planned to feature a web based portal to make the experience much more streamlined:
- Simple administration of all the different Canopy features
- Content type mapping between the Alfresco repository file system and content types and nodes inside of Drupal
- SSO manager that will allow the easy setup of Alfresco and Drupal SSO via an LDAP server
- File migration service that will allow all files uploaded into Alfresco to easily be migrated to the Alfresco repository in a batch manor
- Workflow manager for configuring workflows between Drupal and Alfresco
- Reporting and error handling to track and report on any errors that might occur in the syncing of the system, as well as usage stats and user actions in both platforms
After several years of experience with our own clients we've realized that building a portal that can easily handle these tasks in a web interface will allow them to much more easily manage their integrations between these pieces of great software. In terms of timing for the release of Canopy v2.0 we are looking at the 4th quarter of 2012.
Joe: Interesting, so what customers do you have running Canopy and what is their experience?
Arnold: We have used Canopy for several large integration projects for customers such as Mental Health Commission of Canada as well as Sisters of Mercy Health Systems. In these, we've learned how using key features of Alfresco and Drupal to build an integrated site for these customers. Canopy for both of these has been mainly code and something that you needed to be a real developer to administer. With the web-based portal, the combined Alfresco+Drupal will be easier to administer and develop.

A national leader in the field of teacher education, the University of Northern Colorado recently received a $1.2 million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation ((NSF DUE-1035333) to support and prepare math and science teachers to serve in high-need school districts, especially in rural areas.
Scholarships of $16,000 will be awarded through a competitive process to 22 qualified UNC upperclassmen who are majoring in STEM disciplines - science, technology, engineering or math - and completing UNC's teacher preparation program.
In addition, to build the pool of teacher candidates in those four disciplines, 80 freshmen and sophomores will receive paid internships that provide them with K-12 teaching and tutoring experiences and encourage them to consider teaching as a profession.
The program will also provide $16,000 scholarships to eight STEM professionals who return to complete the licensing qualifications for teaching science and math.
The NSF Noyce Scholarship Program will begin Sept. 1 under the direction of UNC faculty Robert Reinsvold (Biological Sciences), Val Middleton (Teacher Education), Cathleen Craviotto (Mathematics) and coordinator Lori Reinsvold (Mathematics and Science Teaching Institute).
Each Noyce scholar will commit to teach at least two years in a high-need school for each year a scholarship is received. Upon graduation, scholars will be assigned experienced mentors at their schools and will attend focused seminars during their first year of teaching.
UNC will partner with 25 school districts, 19 of which are in rural communities in northeast Colorado, where the need for science and math teachers is very high.
The districts include: Adams 14 School District (Commerce City), Weld County School District RE-1 (Gilcrest), Weld County District RE-7 (Kersey), Weld County District 6 (Greeley-Evans), Weld County School District RE-5J (Milliken), Eaton School District RE-2 (Eaton), Morgan County School District RE-3 (Fort Morgan), and Northeast Colorado Board of Cooperative Educational Services, representing 12 rural school districts in northeastern Colorado.

Nov. 14, 2011
KNOXVILLE - When Tennessee returns to practice at Haslam Field on Tuesday morning, sophomore quarterback Tyler Bray will be slinging the ball around the field for the first time since the week leading up to the Vols' game against Georgia (Oct. 8).
Bray is recovering from a fractured right thumb he suffered late in the fourth quarter against the Bulldogs. It's unknown whether he will be able to play Saturday against Vanderbilt.
"He has been cleared to go ahead and start practicing, which is right on schedule with what we expected," head coach Derek Dooley said Monday at UT's weekly media luncheon. "I would probably list him if I had to say a word as questionable. I really won't know until we start practicing to see how he can take a snap, how accurately he can throw it.
`He's going to have a little learning curve coming back because he has been out of ball. What has it been? Five, six weeks, which is a little bit of time. We will see, we still have to get the other guys ready to play and we will just kind of take it day by day."
As the Vols take it day by day, they'll determine what role Bray will play in practice.
"It's just a little premature for me to say he's going to take all the one reps," Dooley said. "We are just going to see what he can do in individual, see how we go, throw some seven on and then take it from there."
While Bray tries to get comfortable throwing the ball again, the Tennessee offense is looking to do the same if he is at the helm.
"It would be kind of overwhelming because that is the guy we are used to playing with," sophomore Rajion Neal said. "He is the guy that knows this offense, is comfortable with everybody and is kind of what everybody is used to. Having him back there would be a tad bit different. He would be more settled in, would know what to look for in the reads. This would be kind of his second time coming around as a sophomore so it would be great for us to have him back if that is (possible)."
Bray is 116-of-176 for 1,579 yards and 14 touchdowns this season.
With all the talk about so many freshmen on this year's Tennessee team, it is easy to let the story of another first-year starter slip by. After spending his first two seasons at Rocky Top as a fullback and last year as a backup linebacker, Austin Johnson has quietly become the leader of the Volunteer defense during his senior campaign.
"I think back to what did Austin look like four years ago," Dooley said. "He was probably banging around as a backup fullback. I'm sure people were thinking, `What is he?' Even last year, he didn't do much for us and didn't have any real role. It's a guy who stays invested in the program, he keeps working, he has a tremendous level of commitment to being as good as he can be and then eventually he blossoms. He is a great example of that."
The Hickory, N.C., native has been one of UT's biggest playmakers from the middle linebacker position this season as he ranks second on the team with 65 tackles and leads the squad with three interceptions, including a snag deep in the secondary against Arkansas last week. He is the first Tennessee linebacker with three interceptions in a season since Raynoch Thompson in 1999.
"He's made three really great plays," Dooley said. "That was an incredible play he made the other night and we were lucky he made it because we busted the coverage. The safety was all the way over on the sideline when he needed to be covering the guy, but Austin wheeled back and made a great play."
Johnson is one of 14 seniors that will run through the T for the final time before Saturday's game against Vanderbilt. Joining him will be WR Anthony Anderson, WR Cory Eichholtz, DB Art Evans, DB C.J. Fleming, DS Nick Guess, DL Malik Jackson, LB Austin Johnson, DL Ben Martin, TB Tauren Poole, LB Shane Reveiz, PK/P Chip Rhome, QB Matt Simms, LB Jake Storey and LB Daryl Vereen.
"They've been through a lot," Dooley said. "They've been through three coaches, probably four position coaches and five strength coaches and kind of stuck with it. I know this year isn't going the way they had hoped, but it would be good to send them out of Neyland Stadium with a win. All these freshmen don't understand how they are going to feel when they are a senior. I didn't really realize how special it was until last year. It kind of caught me off guard when those guys were running through (the T) for the last time.
The experience of watching the seniors running through the T last season was one Dooley admits was more emotional than he had anticipated, but he plans on being more prepared his second time around.
"It's hard to explain," Dooley said. "Last year, I didn't have much time with those guys. I didn't know them very well. It was a little edgy when I got here and it was edgy early in the year with them. Despite all of that, I got choked up a little bit that last game just watching them. Seeing how emotional they got, it hit me how much they loved their experience here, as bad as it was as far as the record and what happened and all that. That's when it really hits you how much college means to somebody playing college football. I wasn't prepared for it, so I will be better prepared this time."
Tennessee has won 27 of its past 28 meetings with Vanderbilt and owns a 72-27-5 record against the Commodores. Heading into Saturday, he Vols are looking at those figures the same way they view the previous 10 games of this season.
They're in the past.
"It's a part of it," junior defensive lineman Willie Bohannon said of dealing with losses. "You have to bounce back from it no matter what. You can't think of it as being hard. You just think of it as being another challenge that you have to defeat. That's what we're going to have to do this week. We're going to have to bounce back. If we don't, we'll have another embarrassment.
"It's still a rivalry game at the same time. All the things they've done in the past and all the things we've done in the past this season don't really count. It's about this game coming up."
The previous 105 games won't prepare the Vols for the 2011 Commodores. And they're well aware of that.
"They're a good team and I watched them all year in the hotel before our games," senior defensive lineman Malik Jackson said. "They're a good team and very capable of coming out and beating us when they play their best. We're going to have to practice this week really hard. They're really going to come and try to test us. We just have to practice hard this week, go out there Saturday and do everything right."

Anonymous App Raise Awareness By Hijacking Twitter Trends
World-renowned hacker group Anonymous have created an app which can manipulate trending topics on Twitter to draw attention to causes they deem important.
World-renowned hacker group Anonymous has created an app which can manipulate trending topics on Twitter to draw attention to causes they deem important.
Designed to combat the increasing 'redundant and pop culture like' topics trending on the social network, URGE (Universal Rapid Gamma Emitter) gives app users the ability to 'hijack' trending topics that Anonymous chooses, and tweet messages alongside them.
URGE is not technically a hacking tool, but rather a platform to allow the group to tweet their messages and raise awareness without having to constantly 'copy and paste' trending hash-tags. Anonymous hopes the tool will help raise awareness about more pertinent global issues.
The official release from the group:
To the people of the interwebz,
We recently have become tired of seeing trending topics on twitter that were redundant and 'pop culture' like. We have also grown tired of Twitter not trending hash tags that actually serve a cause and mean something to free thinkers of the world. We have taken note of why Twitter would not do so, they only trend topics which would 'appeal' to people and can get people to tweet more. This was pathetic in our eyes, and we could not stand by and take it anymore. We have developed a program called 'U.R.G.E. Universal Rapid Gamma Emitter (twitter edition)' which hijacks trending topics of our choice and and lets us tweet messages within them. This will help raise awareness of problems going on in this world and show people that real problems exist outside of 'Jersey Shore' and 'Sex.' We will distribute this program amongst Anonymous and anyone else who cares to use this for awareness and bashing corrupt politicians. This is not a hacking tool nor is it an exploit tool, it was created to make it easier for us to tweet faster without copying and pasting constantly.

You will need .net framework four to run this program. You can get it: HERE

So Cool: Seth McFarlane Makes Huge Pledge to Reading Rainbow
Seth MacFarlane is giving a huge boost to LeVar Burton's fundraising efforts to revive Reading Rainbow. The funnyman has promised to match up to $1 million in pledges made on Burton's Kickstarter page.
Burton's plan is to raise enough money to create an online version of the show that will be available free of charge to classrooms across the country. $5 million is needed, and as of yesterday (Thursday), $4 million has been pledged. MacFarlane says he will match every dollar up to $1 million between now and next Wednesday.

The Yankees won 1-0.
Several Giants from that '62 team will be at the ballpark, including the manager, Alvin Dark, along with Willie Mays and McCovey, more than 14 in all.
The Giants also lost the World Series in 2002 (talk about anniversaries) and 1989 and won it all in 2010. Two years later, they're trying to return to championship form.
They lost four of their first five games this season, so Thursday's 4-2 victory in Colorado provides some momentum heading into the home opener. Matt Cain, who has pitched once since signing his $112.5 million extension, will start Friday.
Before Thursday, the only Giants starter who did well was Barry Zito, who threw a shutout Tuesday. On Thursday, Madison Bumgarner pitched into the eighth inning for his first win and got support from Melky Cabrera, who hit an RBI single in the fourth and an RBI double in the sixth.

5.0 and 5.7 Discussion, vacuum reading on an lt1? in Cadillac Engine Discussion; What should the vacuum reading be for an lt1? mine was 16-17 but i am going to try to measure ...
vacuum reading on an lt1?
What should the vacuum reading be for an lt1?
mine was 16-17 but i am going to try to measure it in a couple different spots tomorrow
I'm just incredibly glad i can do burnouts again now that my broken exhaust bolt has been fixed it was a PITA but i got it done
Re: vacuum reading on an lt1?
Cool! Glad to hear it. If I measure at the vacuum line to the Opti after the check valve, I get 15inches. No more, no less. I was expecting more. Maybe there is some restriction there. But with no "load" on the line, I am guessing that is what I get before it too. Sorta like Kirchoffs law for electronics applys to vacuum lines!
Re: vacuum reading on an lt1?Originally Posted by N0DIH
I'm going to try it and see if it gets a little higher which i think it should be btw nodih how many miles does your engine have?
try to rev it slightly nodih maybe thats why it was a little low
I tried the hose that goes on top of the fuel regulator right next to the egr valve. I've heard of people using the heater/a/c vacuum hose ont he pass. side its a small hose also. The other thing is that i didnt use a tee which i should i only unplugged the fuel line and measured the vacuum at idle i guess live and learn. Most people say to measure directly from the manifold so im going to try that but i have to remove the big homeplate on top of it and try to plug the hole probably with a hockey puck and then try to measure that way from one of the outlets on the manifold.I sincerely doubt that my engine would be running the way it is if one of my hoses were disconnected or if the manifold gasket was bad etc.
My engine runs just like new now i missed that rev on that 1-2 shift just like it used to have it revs like crazy now right from that start line.
Best of all i dont hear a hissing sound on the pass. side like i did before there was major air being sucked in and on top of that the gasket itself looked damaged/black on the hole where the bolt broke i guess from so much air in and out the gasket turned black in that area.The hissing was pretty bad too now i only hear a slight clicking but many people say its normal because the lt1 has very thin valve covers allowing the noise to be heard.its not a tick only the sound of the valves working
I have an annoying smell right now but im hoping its the damn exhaust flange gasket i put on i cant see or feel anything close to the exhaust that could be burning but i do smell it and every once in a while theres a little smoke that comes out behind the manifold somewhere but i can only see it with the hood open ill give it a few days if not ill have it checked out at an exhaust shop.
Oh yeah i finally got around to finishing the spark plug change i only did the driver side a month ago and put off the pass. side because it was damn near impossible and jacking the car up to do it from the wheel wells seemed like a PITA it was remarkably easy with the exhaust manifold off.

Energy & Fitness Drinks
Researchers have experimented with popular fitness drinks and come away with some startling results. According to a study published in the AGD journal, General Dentistry, energy drinks can cause up to 11 times more enamel erosion than soft drinks.
Here's how the experiment went:
Cavity-free teeth were immersed in a variety of popular beverages for 14 days, which is approximately equal to 13 years of normal beverage consumption. All the test beverages caused significant damage to the tooth enamel, but certain ones stood out as being especially damaging to tooth enamel:
- Lemonade
- Energy Drinks
- Sports Drinks
- Fitness Water
- Iced Tea
- Cola soft drink
Most dental-conscious people wouldn't have expected their Vitamin Water to be more damaging over a cola drink. Unfortunately, fitness waters, energy drinks, and sports beverages actually contain more additives and organic acids that advance tooth erosion. These organic acids are especially damaging because of their ability to breakdown calcium, which is an essential ingredient for strong teeth.
In addition, these drinks can contribute to staining and hypersensitivity caused by softened tooth enamel. To minimize the impact these drinks have on your teeth, limit your intake, drink with a straw when possible, and rinse your mouth out with plain water after drinking sugary or acidic beverages.
One more thing…
Don't brush your teeth after chugging your breakfast of Red Bull and Life Water. The abrasives in toothpaste can actually cause even more damage because of the softened state of your acid-exposed tooth enamel. Wait at least 45 minutes before brushing and consider rinsing before brushing with plain water to flush away excess sugars.
Talk to your dentist at Oak Park Dental if you have concerns about damage to your tooth enamel from beverages you regularly drink. Certain pro-active dental treatments and oral hygiene products can help strengthen tooth enamel and prevent the onset of gum disease.

Does anyone know what time it is.
Does anyone know what time it is.
I grow ton of Thai basil, Holy Basil, Thai Hot peppers, Kale, and more on my land. Keep them indoor should be fine with sun light. They are easy to grow in hot summer. I am in So California and am still harvesting them fine also expect to slow down in the next few months as some of them will drop leaf but will survive as perennial. Great for Vietnamese Pho Noodles, soup, Thai Curry, and marinate them in meat for stir-fry.
Thai basil can be used in a tea. To do this boil water, break the leaves into the water, place tea bags in the water, then remove the tea bags and Thai basil leaves with a filter.
I know that Thai Basil (idk if its also known as sweet basil) is used to neutrazlie the burning sensation when eating spicy food.(i should check this info though).
But i definetly would try it with pork, curries, spicy dishes in general, soup , etc.....

Weldon intentionally disorients the viewing experience by juxtaposing a subject that is impulsively attractive yet eerily disturbing. With this subtle manipulation the viewer finds themselves drawn towards these subjects, yet can't quite focus on them, as a result of the eye fatigue experienced by countless hours on the internet, often fueled by the mindless addictive nature of social media.

President's Weekend? Anybody Want to Ride with me?
I am going Saturday Sunday and Monday to Hunter (maybe windham on one of these days). I could get to Vermont too if we talk but it's just far and maybe more on gas...
I am renting a car, and I can take as much as two people with me even maybe 3, if my wife bails out.
$30 each (this will include all of your transportation costs tolls/gas etc.)
Planning on leaving really early so can be in the line for the first ride at 8:30
anybody interested?
let me know

Just making it back from last year's career-threatening neck injury is enough to celebrate Chargers wide receiver Malcom Floyd. But he has apparently come back as a player with something to prove.
Tom Krasovic of U-T San Diego wrote Monday that Floyd would have been his choice for spring MVP -- if such an award existed. Krasovic said Floyd's spring "was as good as spring can be." Philip Rivers targeted him often in practices, and Floyd "won more than he lost."
Fantasy Analysis:
Floyd is more important to the Chargers than fantasy owners. They need his speed and length to complement possession receivers such as Keenan Allen and tight end Antonio Gates . Floyd, 33 in September, has never topped 900 yards in any of his 10 NFL seasons. He is a great example of perseverance. Everyone should be rooting for him, just not drafting him.

Monocolumn: A Clean Start For Paraguay's Women
When Fernando Lugo took presidential power in Paraguay two years ago, ending 60 years of rule by the right-wing Colorados party, he promised to help the underprivileged and deprived.
Monocolumn is Monocle's daily bulletin of news and opinion. Catch up with previous editions here.
When Fernando Lugo took presidential power in Paraguay two years ago, ending 60 years of rule by the right-wing Colorados party, he promised to help the underprivileged and deprived. But continually low salaries, weak health coverage and scarce state aid shows little has changed. Finally though, there are signs that the new government is cleaning up its act – starting with the country's many empleadas domésticas, or household cleaners.
The domestic cleaning workforce consists of more than 200,000 women in Paraguay – 3 per cent of the population. Most of them get paid about $120 (€88) a month, 40 per cent of the minimum salary. The rest is made up for in bed and board.
Paraguay's Ministry of Justice and Work, in a bid to end the underpayment and mistreatment women experience in domestic jobs, created a programme in April this year to improve their working environment. The Professionalization Course for Domestic Workers is a joint project with the United Nations and the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation (AECID), which instructs on the finer points of domestic service.
Women of 16 and over may enroll in the free two-month course (96 hours of lessons) without any requirements other than a valid identification card. It includes five modules taught by professionals – work legislation, domestic relations, cleaning services, kitchen services and occupational projects. The government even gives each participant a transportation fee.
According to the Social Institutions and Gender Index (SIGI), Paraguay lacks strong laws to protect the dignity of women (it was only in 2000 that a law was passed classifying domestic violence as a crime – and only if the crime is reoccurring). That is why the course's main objective is to empower women through rigorous professional training. "We were taught to value ourselves and to have our rights respected," says Carina Torres, one of the approximately 60 women who have participated in the course so far. With a diploma under her arm, she has already found a job at a cleaning company thanks to an employment register created by Hogar Kuñataí Róga, a seminary where the course is taught.
