Yamaha BD-S473 - Features
The BD-S473 is not overloaded with features, lacking the things we've come to accept as normal in the Blu-ray player market. The biggest omission is built-in Wi-Fi, which makes it harder to access the deck's network functionality than we're used to. There's no compatible USB dongle either, which leaves Ethernet as the only way of getting online – a much messier method.
However, Yamaha has thrown in a few bits and pieces to stop it feeling completely vanilla. Yamaha doesn't have its own online content portal a la Samsung's Smart Hub or Panasonic's Viera Connect, but it has included YouTube Leanback. This version of YouTube boasts large, simplified displays and options to search for videos, explore different channels, log in to your account or peruse featured videos.
The deck is also DLNA certified, which means you can stream media from compatible servers on your home network. Alternatively you can play files from a USB flash drive. The deck lacks built-in memory for BD Live use, but with two USB ports you can leave one drive in the back for BD Live and use the front port for media playback.
The list of compatible formats is healthy. On the music side, it plays MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV and FLAC, while supported video formats include AVCHD, MKV, MPEG PS/TS, MPEG-4, VOB, AVI, ASF and WMV. You can also bore relatives with your holiday snaps in JPEG, GIF or PNG. We loaded up a USB stick filled with media files and it happily played the lot of them.
Let's not forget that the BD-S473 is 3D ready and does all the other thankless stuff you'd expect of a Blu-ray deck. That includes upscaling DVDs to 1080p, decoding Dolby True HD and DTS HD Master Audio and turning them into multichannel PCM for receivers that can't decode them, and preserving the native 1080/24p frame rate of Blu-ray movies.
Yamaha BD-S473 - Operation
Operating the BD-S473 is a generally smooth experience. A settings wizard appears on first boot-up, allowing you to set onscreen language, resolution and aspect ratio. Onscreen displays are easy on the eye – the classy splashscreen shows the inside of a grand piano, while the Home menu places Media, Setup, Quit and YouTube icons over a simple grey background. It's all a bit sparse and basic compared with Samsung and LG's dashboards, but it's responsive and easy to follow.
The setup menu is reminiscent of Toshiba's Blu-ray players, using full colour icons for each section along the top, with the corresponding options in the box below. The similarities continue with the Video Process menu, which allows you to select a picture preset (Standard, Vivid, Cinema or Custom), as well as apply noise reduction and select the deinterlacing mode.
Select the Custom preset and you can adjust brightness, saturation, hue, contrast and colour transient improvement (CTI), as well as adjusting the brightness, saturation and hue for the red, green, blue, yellow and cyan parts of the picture. That's quite a level of detail, although the settings should be used judiciously to avoid clashing with your TV settings.
Next a word on the remote, which gets narrower at the bottom and therefore slots in the hand snugly. The button layout is fine, with the large multi-direction pad helpfully placed right the middle, while the playback keys are coloured white to help them stand out.
On the downside, most of the buttons are too small and the Home button gets lost among them. If you don't like the remote, you can download an app for the iPhone, iPad or Android devices that lets you control the player over a network, but this requires a firmware update.
'demanding displays need a source that can deliver the cleanest, sharpest video signals'
if it's connected via hdmi, surely it's just delivering a bitstream read off the disc? In which case, a cheap jobbie would be just as good?
I raise this point every single time TR talks about the sharpness and quality of one blu-ray player vs another, yet they (and many other reviewers) still peddle this snake oil every time. Unless you are doing some processing on the image (which I would argue should RARELY be needed on a decently mastered source and should NEVER happen anywhere other than the monitor), an expensive blu-ray deck and a cheap one read the same compressed bitstream from the disc, apply the same known decoding algorithm, and output an identical uncompressed digital signal to the TV. Unless you're using analogue connections, therefore (and why the heck would you?!), logically the only benefits of an expensive deck over a cheap one are in build quality, features, aesthetics, perhaps noise level, and brand snobbery.

Rock to Bach/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLesGMA0-rM You ever heard "Piano Metal"? No? Well it fucking sucks.
Pornogrind would top my list of most inexplicable metal genres if it wasn't for Germany. Folks over there continue to create "extreme" music that's like some sort of aural Punk'd, where halfway through the song you're sure someone's videotaping your reaction behind two-way glass. Remember that this is the country who brought us Van Canto, the "Hero metal a cappella" band who never met a Metallica song they couldn't make embarrassing.
Now we have In Legend, a "Hand-Hammered Piano Craft" group who spurns guitars to create a maelstrom of double bass, whiplashing hair and numerous tickled ivories.
There isn't much to the actual video (don't let the opening credits fool you). It's a watery mixture of the trio playing in a empty room and the main dude sledgehammering a piano to give you the false perception that he too knows this is madness. But just close your eyes and let the music thoroughly bum you out.
I'm thinking if you took Burton C. Bell and asked him to do his clean vocals over an Evanescence song, you'd be close... except then you have to take out all the guitars. So yes, In Legend is worse that what I just mentioned.
I know just because this is "metal" it doesn't have to fall under my jurisdiction and I'm far from the intended audience. But when you release a press photo like this:
I can't help but submit my opinion. Quick idea, though- Baby Grand Pornogrind.

Ekta Kapoor is ready with another shock, creating bold films one after another. After Love Sex Aur Dokha, Ragini MMS, The Dirty Picture, the next in the queue is Kya Super Kool Hain Hum,
According to sources, Kya Super Kool Hain Hum is somewhat sex comedy resembling to American Pie.
Along with Sarah Jane Dias and Neha Sharna; Tusshar Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh are also a vital part of the movie.
If sources are to be believed, there is a much probability that Neha and Sarah will shock people with their sex comedy where they will behave like lesbians in love.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami Hurricanes women's tennis signee Yolimar Ogando qualified for the Wimbledon Junior Championships this week after two wins in the qualifying rounds.
A No. 6-seed in the qualifying round, Ogando opened up the 32-player tournament with a straight sets win against Georgia Brescia 7-5, 6-4 and then posted a second round win against Regina Clark 6-3, 7-6(0) to qualify for the championship.
A native of Ponce Puerto Rico, Ogando is currently ranked 84th at the junior level and has posted a 19-9 record this year. In the first round of the Wimbledon Junior Championships, Ogando will face off against No. 24 Katie Boulter of Great Britain.
When she signed with the Hurricanes in the fall, Ogando was ranked the 24th-best player nationally and the No. 2 player in Puerto Rico in the class of 2014, according to the Tennis Recruiting Network's Babolat recruiting list.
"Yolimar will be a wonderful addition to our program," head coach Paige Yaroshuk-Tews said after her signing. "She comes to us with a wealth of experience that is only going to grow in the upcoming year. Her personality will be a great fit with the team and her aspirations match those of our coaching staff."
Ogando will enroll at Miami in the upcoming fall semester. For more information on the women's tennis team in the offseason, follow @HurricaneTennis on Twitter and Instagram.

I had a mid face lift and upper eye lid surgery..it's all great! I am really happy with everything I had done. the actual procedure was less than two hours, and the recovery was shorter than I had expected. I will post pictures as soon as I can, but meanwhile, I leave this feedback so other's may know about my experience, and that I would do it all over again! READ MORE

There was a time when geography was memorizing chief crops, major bodies of water and picking out countries on a map. Knowing that cloves came from places like Zanzibar and Madagascar or locating the Caspian Sea seemed all there was to this study. Not today.
Anne Knowles, a geography professor at Middlebury College, is using geographic information systems (GIS) to learn more about the Civil War and the Holocaust. St. Michael's College professor Richard Kujawa is looking at the public benefit of conservation easements and the complex relationships that tie places together. We look at geography in the 21stcentury with both of them.

The Red Sox have signed catcher David Ross to a two-year deal worth $6.2 million. According to Ken Rosenthal, Ross will be "more than a backup but not a starter" with the Red Sox in 2013.
David Ross has established himself as one of the better backup catchers in baseball. Last year with the Braves, the 35-year-old Ross hit .256/.321/.449 with nine HRs. Against lefties, he hit .241/.307/.405 with 4 HRs. While not overwhelming, his numbers against lefties were better than current starting catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.
Salty hit .170/.211/.283 with 1 HR against lefties (while batting righty), so Ross could figure to see at-bats against lefties. Overall, though, Salty had the best offensive season of his career, hitting .222/.288/.454 with 25 home runs in 125 games.
Ross briefly played for the Red Sox in 2008, hitting 1-for-8 (.125) with three strikeouts.
As for Ryan Lavarnway, this could mean he gets even more seasoning in Pawtucket. Or, if the Red Sox fail to sign a competent first baseman, they could rotate Salty and Lavarnway (with others) at that position.
What do you think of the David Ross signing?

Ojani Noa - the star's first spouse - had planned to wait in line and serenade his former wife with one of her own songs when auditions opened in California on Wednesday.
However, J.Lo - who was unveiled as a new member of the judging panel this week along with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler - told the show's producers, Fox, she would be uncomfortable with Cuban-born Ojani appearing leading to him being told by bosses he could be arrested if he went ahead with his plans.
A friend of Ojani told RadarOnline.com: "Jennifer got Fox to make sure the screeners would not let Ojani anywhere near the auditions.
"Fox made it clear that he was not welcome and that he could be arrested if he showed up, so he backed-out at the last minute.
"It was a shame because all he wanted to do was to showcase his voice and show people that he can really sing too."
Ojani, 36, married Jennifer in 1997 after meeting her while working as a waiter. Their marriage lasted less than a year and they initially parted on good terms, but the pair have fallen out in recent years, after Jennifer hired and subsequently fired Ojani as head chef of her now closed Latin restaurant Madre's in 2002.
He has since been banned from publishing a tell-all book he wrote about the 41-year-old star by one court, and last year a judge ruled he was also not allowed to commercially release footage from the couple's honeymoon.
The source added: "Whenever Ojani tries to do something Jennifer just tries to block it any way that she can - nobody really knows what she's so paranoid about."
Since divorcing Ojani, Jennifer dated rapper P. Diddy, married and divorced dancer Cris Judd, got engaged to actor Ben Affleck and finally settled down and married singer Marc Anthony, with whom she has two-year-old twins Max and Emme.

Amber Gordon's grandmother said it was obvious long before the 3-year-old died under suspicious circumstances on June 19 that something was seriously wrong.
And Patricia Rollins doesn't understand why Wayne County Children Services didn't do anything in time to save her granddaughter.
The agency filed for protective services for all the children in the home on June 16, but three days later, before a hearing could even be held, Amber was dead.
Children Services Director Thomas Roelant said Amber's case had been opened and closed on a number of occasions, based on neglect and home conditions, but no abuse allegations. Roelant said the case was opened by his agency once again in May based on complaints of "neglect, and some bruising, but nothing we could prove."
"Suspicions aren't evidence that get you action in court."
The Millersburg woman said she had taken her granddaughter "time after time" to Children Services, beginning in February of 1999.
"They knew she was underweight. They knew she couldn't talk," Rollins said. "Every time I had her she had bruises."
The agency had worked with the family a long time, Roelant said, and both Gordon and Bowles "had shown a willingness to work with us."
"The earlier injuries may have been accidental," he said. "You can't always prove what you suspect."

Recruitment: "I am from North Carolina and my grandpa knows [UNC assistant] coach [Scott] Forbes and they have known each other for a while," Brickhouse said. "They came down and saw me pitch in Jupiter a couple of years ago. That was the only time that they really recruited me and then they called me in a week or so after that to invite me down for a visit and they offered me on the visit. It was really easy to have conversations with Coach Forbes because we had so much in common with my grandparents knowing his family."
Geography also played a role in this decision, "I moved to Texas when I was five and I have always wanted to come back to North Carolina and the east to play college ball," Brickhouse said. "It was not too hard of a decision for me about where to go."
Brickhouse signed with North Carolina over offers from LSU, South Carolina, NC State and Vanderbilt.
Why Carolina? "I really liked the coaches and the campus is a lot like where I live right now and was very comfortable on my visit," Brickhouse said. "Plus being an ACC school known as a baseball powerhouse with a great chance of heading to Omaha were all factors for me, while academics was the other reason. North Carolina is a great school and they have a great sports administration program which is what I want to study while I am there."
Scouting Report: Brickhouse is a power pitcher ranging up to 94 miles per hour with his fastball in addition to featuring a slider, curve and changeup. Throwing from a 3/4 angle arm slot, he has a good breaking ball with a lot of bite and his sinking changeup keeps batters off balance. Brickhouse also features a slider with late breaking action that is his go-to pitch for strikeouts.
Coaches Quotes: "Bryan is an outstanding athlete," said Ron Eastman, the head coach at The Woodlands HS. "I have known him since he was a very young man at seven and he has always been a very talented and very gifted young man. He could have been very good at football and could have been a very good position player in baseball. His athletic skills and ability just have been a real blessing for us."
"Bryan is real focused and a really strong competitor. We have been very blessed with a good run of talent on the mound here and he has been able to spend the last two years working with Jameson Tallion (the second pick in the 2010 draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates). He has always been a hard worker and has really bought into the hard work approach. When the takes the mound he is all business and is just nails out there for us. Off the field he is a very likable kid with a great sense of humor."
Future Plans: As one of the top arms in the country in the 2011 class, and with the high profile that his high school and Houston Heat traveling program have, Brickhouse is well known by Major League Baseball front offices, who are already having in-home visits with the talented fireballer.
However, Brickhouse is focusing on his upcoming senior campaign. "At this point I am not thinking about it - it is so far off and so much could happen," he elaborated. "I still have a whole season to play and I don't really have a number in mind right now. I want to concentrate on my season and let things take care of themselves."
Brickhouse already is looking forward to the challenge of pitching in the Atlantic Coast Conference and has a clear goal for his career in Chapel Hill, "My number one goal is to win a College World Series and get to Omaha," he stated. "I want to be one of the best pitchers to play at North Carolina and I want to win an ACC Championship."

In addition to the shakeup in the CEO position, board member Barbara Stymiest, who had been seen as a lock to take over the CEO position, has taken over the chair of the board. Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis will both retain significant shares in the company, and possibly worse (depending on how you view their careers with RIM) both will remain on the board, with Lazaridis actually taking over as vice-chairman.
Thorsten Heins worked at Siemens for 20 years before joining RIM in 2007. RIM said that the company's strategy will remain unchanged and that it will still be pushing BlackBerry 10 this year. But, Heins has thrown a wrinkle into that process with a hint that the company may be looking into licensing the BlackBerry 10 operating system if it is successful. Of course, finding that success still looks like a struggle for RIM, given that it has had to cut the number of BB10 devices slated for release.

I'm looking to sell my crash pad and rope before leaving South Africa. They are both in good condition. I am selling the crash pad for 1000 Rand and the rope for the 1000 Rand.
I bought the crash pad in South Africa a month ago and have only used it at the Rocklands. It's a Metolious Bailout and is in very good condition. Only 1000 Rand
The rope is a Sterling Evolution Velocity 9.8mm. It was an 80 meter rope that I cut the ends off of so now it's 72 meters. I bought it in November of 2012 and only used it for 1 month in Kalymnos and then 5 weeks in Australia. It is still in good condition. Again, only 1000 Rand. Unfortunately I don't have room to bring it home.
If you are interested in buying either of these items, I am flying out of Cape Town on July 9th and would be able to meet up either in the Rocklands or in Cape Town on the 9th. Please contact me at email@example.com
Rope and Crash Pad for sale, good condition

An international Pisco Sour Day celebration
By Alix Farr
Whether you are in Peru or abroad, there are plenty of places to celebrate Peru's national cocktail.
So popular has Peru's national cocktail become that one no longer needs to be in Peru to find great deals and celebrations for Pisco Sour Day, which takes place this Saturday, Feb. 2.
The pisco sour was invented in the 1920s by Victor Morris, an American who had lived in Lima for years and who owned the Morris Bar on the Jirón de la Unión downtown.
With a rapid rise of pisco exports and new Peruvian restaurants around the globe over the last decade, it is no surprise that the popularity of the pisco sour has followed a similar trajectory.
Whether you are in Lima, elsewhere in Peru, or abroad, here are some tips for where to celebrate with a frothy cup this weekend.
In Lima, a number of districts are having community celebrations:
Cercado de Lima
Pueblo Libre
Elsewhere in Peru, other local governments are organizing events:
New York: Many Peruvian and South American restaurants around the city will have the pisco flowing freely
Los Angeles: Again, a number of different restaurants have deals as well as unique takes on this pisco cocktail
London: Learn how to make a pisco sour this Saturday at one of Ceviche UK's master classes
Staying home and want to make your own?
Martin Morales of Ceviche UK and mixologist Miguel Arbe teach you how in this video:
Heard of any other celebrations? We know there are plenty more. Leave a comment to help spread the word!

Night-Watch Cap
For racers and cruisers who like wearing baseball caps offshore, the Sailors Night Vision Cap may be just the thing after the sun goes down. Each cap comes equipped with a pair of red LEDs and either three or four white LEDs, depending on the model, to provide hands-free illumination on the darkest night. In the words of our tester, Boston-area sailor Bill Jacobson: I was trimming main (on an overnight race) and Id just flick on the white light to check out the telltales, low beams for overall shape and high beams for those upper telltales. The light was surprisingly bright. The LEDs are activated by a switch in the brim and are rated for 60 hours of continuous use. The offshore model comes with a lanyard to ensure it doesnt end up over the side in rough weather.
From $39. Sailors Night Vision cap: sailorsnightvisioncap.com


text: While I don't agree with there premise of liscense fees or premiums based on the size of your "arsenal" I do agree we should be responsible for our guns. Guns should be secured in a safe and god forbid a ND or your child playing with an unsecured gun causes loss of life or property the gun owner should be held accountable. If you paralyze a sole income provider with a missed shot in a justified shoot you should be responsible for that person and thier now financially distraught family. I think it's prudent to have insurance to cover issues like this.

On August 23, in Verona, New York, Red Deer boxer Arash Usmanee will be fighting for the super-featherweight championship of the world. If he wins, he will be the first man from Alberta, Canada, to ever achieve that honour. "History when it is made, only happens once, you can't make it happen again," said Usmanee, 31. "It (the historical significance of the fight) is more important than anything. I am not fighting for money. I want this history and it is the most important thing for me to do!"
Six months ago, fighting for a world championship seemed like a distant hope for the professional boxer. After losing a controversial decision to Rances Barthelemy on ESPN2 Friday Night Fights, for the number two ranking in the International Boxing Federation, the Canadian fighter saw his ranking drop and his dreams fade.
Boxing is rarely known as a just sport, and quite often, controversial decisions are never resolved. However, in a scene from the movie Rocky, IBF Champion Argenis Mendez and his team went on public record, that Usmanee was the real winner of the fight against Barthelemy, and therefore deserved to be their next title defence.
"I thank him for recognizing that and giving me the opportunity and acknowledging that I won the last fight," said Usmanee.
Even though Usmanee has won five Canadian Amateur Championships, is a two-time Ringside World Champion, a former North American Boxing Association super featherweight champion and World Boxing Council Continental Americas lightweight champion he has fought in relative obscurity for most of his boxing career.
The loss on paper, on January 04, the first of his professional career, however, has actually turned into a big win for the former Red Deer Boxing Club fighter. Since the controversial decision, he has received more fan mail, more support, more interviews, and recognition than he has ever received in his previous 13 years of boxing. The support has come from all over the world, and has included ESPN colour commentator Teddy Atlas, who was vehement that Usmanee was the real winner of the Barthelemy fight.
"The bad thing is I got a "L" on my record and the good thing is that I have three times the amount of people following me than I did before," explained the boxer. "I want to thank my people. When I say my people . . . I mean my people from all over the world. My Afghan, my Canadians, my friends, my family, Islamic, non-Islamic, my fans from all over the world, everybody who is watching me, I appreciate them very much!"
"At times like that last fight, you have no idea how difficult it is to come up from a fight like that and how discouraging it is as a fighter when you win like that and then you get robbed. It totally takes the passion, the desire to follow your passion. But when you hear fans, genuine fans telling you from their heart, that kind of boosts you to say I am going to give it another go. I would like to thank them for picking me up!"
The loss has also given Usmanee a chance to be more than just an athlete. He is now attracting media attention in his homeland having recently been interviewed by an Afghani radio station and the Afghani sport website: SportAf.
The Canadian is extremely proud of his Afghani heritage. Having lost his father to a Russian rocket, he is very aware of how violence plagues his homeland, and he wants to make a difference.
In a recent Facebook post Usmanee, took a page from former Irish Bantamweight World Champion Barry McGuigan's book, saying, "My Afghans, all my people in Wars its been too long, its time you sit back and LET ME DO THE FIGHTING!!!"
In Usmanee's mind, Mendez is the man to beat in his division, and Mendez by fighting Usmanee is definitely taking the high road. The fighters match-up on paper remarkably well. The boxer from Dominican Republic, like Usmanee, has extensive amateur pedigree, with well over 200 fights and is a former Pan American Boxing Championships Gold Medalist. As a professional, the Canadian has a 20-1 record with 10 KO's while Mendez comes in at 21-2, having stopped 11 of his opponents.
"I have been studying him a lot, he is a good boxer he likes to be pretty, he fights sometimes but overall he is good technical, good speed, good power, good athlete, good boxer," said Usmanee. "We are matched up pretty well. Our records are pretty close. He was a high level amateur. I fought a few undefeated guys (as a professional). He has not fought too many, but the last few fights he has fought pretty tough, world calibre opponents. We were brought up the right way and the last few fights we have both been fighting world calibre opposition. Our experience is about the same level."
One advantage the Canadian does have going into this bout is that the world has not yet seen the best of Arash Usmanee. Two weeks into training for the Barthelemy bout Usmanee injured his shoulder, an injury that would have forced most athletes to withdraw from the contest.
"Prior to that fight, a month and a half before, I sprained my shoulder. After that, I didn't do any upper bodywork and . . . in my opinion I didn't have enough sparring for the fight. Those are major things. . ."
"Everything is 100% heading into this fight!"
Usmanee has also moved his camp from Montreal to Las Vegas where he is now training with former world lightheavyweight champion, Eddie Mustafa Muhammed. He believes the former champion is providing him with a different ideology on the sport of boxing.
"When people ask, I honestly say I am 21-0. It just comes out of my mouth. I feel that I am undefeated and God willing I will be undefeated again after this fight."
"As a pro every fight counts and every fight is very important, but all of those fights point in this direction and to this summit. Everything that I have done has prepared me for this moment right now. Like being on top of Mt. Everest and just about to throw down your flag. It is the highest point in my career. It is very important, it is the summit."
"We are going to go out, execute our game plan and God willing it will go our way!"
Ring Notes: Usmanee's, January 04 bout was the first of the season for ESPN Friday Night Fights. The season was supposed to conclude on August 16, but the network moved the finale to August 23 to support the Mendez/Usmanee title bout.
Even though they both had extensive amateur backgrounds, Mendez and Usmanee never fought as amateurs. Usmanee, however, won a tournament in the Dominican Republic beating Mendez's countryman Javier Fortuna, who is a former WBA Interim World Featherweight Champion.
Although no man has ever accomplished the feat, Edmonton's Jelena Mrdjenovich is a five-time world champion and the first Albertan to win a world professional boxing title.
Usmanee's former manager Douggy Berneche and trainer Daniel Trepanier will be taking a busload of 50 people from Montreal to New York, to cheer on the former Montreal fighter.

Love this set. Harley Ann is so hot!

Harley Ann describes herself as the bubbly, playful type, so we decided to let her have a little fun messing around with one of our cameras. We know that a girl as sexy as she is looks just as good holding the camera as she does in front of it. And she's certainly deserving of a little silly recreation after a long day of shooting. And of course, the best thing about Harley is that no matter what she's doing, she can't keep her clothes on for extended periods of time. So as soon as she puts the camera down, she's pulling off her bra and panties. She also heats things up even more with a steamy shower and goes tit-to-tit with our newest big-boob sensation Alaura Grey. Bubbly and playful, Harley Ann had her run of the studio today. And we don't mind one bit. .

A fungus (; plural: fungi or funguses) is a member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds (British English: moulds), as well as the more familiar mushrooms.
fungus n : a parasitic plant lacking chlorophyll and leaves and true stems and roots and reproducing by spores [also: {fungi} (pl)]
121 Moby Thesaurus words for "fungus": adenovirus, aerobe, aerobic bacteria, amoeba, amphibian, anaerobe, anaerobic bacteria, angiosperm, annual, aquatic plant, bacillus, bacteria, bacterium, benign tumor, biennial, blast, blight, bread mold, bug, callosity, callus, cancer, canker, carcinoma, coccus, corn, cosmopolite, cutting, cyst, deciduous plant, dicot, dicotyledon, disease-producing microorganism, dry rot, echovirus, enterovirus, ephemeral, ergot, evergreen, excrescence, exotic, filterable virus, flowering plant, fungosity, gametophyte, germ, gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, green mold, growth, gymnosperm, hydrophyte, intumescence, malignant growth, metastatic tumor, microbe, microorganism, mildew, mold, mole, monocot, monocotyl, morbid growth, moth, moth and rust, mushroom, must, neoplasm, nevus, nonfilterable virus, nonmalignant tumor, outgrowth, pathogen, perennial, pest, picornavirus, plant, polycot, polycotyl, polycotyledon, protozoa, protozoon, proud flesh, puffball, reovirus, rhinovirus, rickettsia, rot, rust, sarcoma, seed plant, seedling, slime mold, smut, spermatophyte, spirillum, spirochete, spore, sporophyte, staphylococcus, streptococcus, thallophyte, tinea, toadstool, triennial, truffle, trypanosome, tuckahoe, tumor, vascular plant, vegetable, verruca, verticillium, vibrio, virus, wart, water mold, weed, wen, worm, yeast
Fungus \Fun"gus\, n.; pl. L. {Fungi}, E. {Funguses}. [L., a mushroom; perh. akin to a doubtful Gr. ? sponge, for ?; if so, cf. E. sponge.] 1. (Bot.) Any one of the {Fungi}, a large and very complex group of thallophytes of low organization, -- the molds, mildews, rusts, smuts, mushrooms, toadstools, puff balls, and the allies of each. See {fungi}. [1913 Webster] Note: The fungi are all destitute of chorophyll, and, therefore, to be supplied with elaborated nourishment, must live as saprophytes or parasites. They range in size from single microscopic cells to systems of entangled threads many feet in extent, which develop reproductive bodies as large as a man's head. The vegetative system consists of septate or rarely unseptate filaments called hyph[ae]; the aggregation of hyph[ae] into structures of more or less definite form is known as the mycelium. See {Fungi}, in the Supplement. [1913 Webster] 2. (Med.) A spongy, morbid growth or granulation in animal bodies, as the proud flesh of wounds. --Hoblyn. [1913 Webster]
Fungi \Fun"gi\ (f[u^]n"j[imac]), n. pl.; sing. {fungus}. (Biol.) A group of thallophytic plant-like organisms of low organization, destitute of chlorophyll, in which reproduction is mainly accomplished by means of asexual spores, which are produced in a great variety of ways, though sexual reproduction is known to occur in certain {Phycomycetes}, or so-called algal fungi. They include the molds, mildews, rusts, smuts, mushrooms, toadstools, puff balls, and the allies of each. In the two-kingdom classification system they were classed with the plants, but in the modern five-kingdom classification, they are not classed as plants, but are classed in their own separate kingdom fungi, which includes the phyla Zygomycota (including simple fungi such as bread molds), Ascomycota (including the yeasts), Basidiomycota (including the mushrooms, smuts, and rusts), and Deuteromycota (the {fungi imperfecti}). Some of the forms, such as the yeasts, appear as single-celled microorganisms, but all of the fungi are are eukaryotic, thus distinguishing them from the prokaryotic microorganisms of the kingdon Monera. [Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC] Note: The Fungi appear to have originated by degeneration from various alg[ae], losing their chlorophyll on assuming a parasitic or saprophytic life. In an earlier classification they were divided into the subclasses {Phycomycetes}, the lower or algal fungi; the {Mesomycetes}, or intermediate fungi; and the {Mycomycetes}, or the higher fungi; by others into the {Phycomycetes}; the {Ascomycetes}, or sac-spore fungi; and the {Basidiomycetes}, or basidial-spore fungi. [Webster 1913 Suppl.]
The colloquial term mold (or mould; see spelling differences) is applied to a large and taxonomically diverse number of fungal species where their growth results in a moldy appearance of objects, especially food.
mold n 1: the distinctive form in which a thing is made; "pottery of this cast was found throughout the region" [syn: {cast}, {stamp}] 2: container into which liquid is poured to create a given shape when it hardens [syn: {mould}, {cast}] 3: loose soil rich in organic matter [syn: {mould}] 4: the process of becoming mildewed [syn: {mildew}] 5: a fungus that produces a superficial growth on various kinds of damp or decaying organic matter [syn: {mould}] 6: sculpture produced by molding [syn: {mould}, {molding}, {moulding}, {modeling}, {clay sculpture}] v 1: form in clay, wax, etc; "model a head with clay" [syn: {model}, {mould}] 2: become moldy; spoil due to humidity; "The furniture molded in the old house" [syn: {mildew}] 3: form by pouring (e.g., wax or hot metal) into a cast or mold; "cast a bronze sculpture" [syn: {cast}, {mould}] 4: make something, usually for a specific function; "She molded the riceballs carefully"; "Form cylinders from the dough"; "shape a figure"; "Work the metal into a sword" [syn: {shape}, {form}, {work}, {mould}, {forge}] 5: fit tightly, follow the contours of; "The dress molds her beautiful figure" 6: shape or influence; give direction to; "experience often determines ability"; "mold public opinion" [syn: {determine}, {shape}, {influence}, {regulate}]

I just got done reading a few race reports from a Central Park 15k I did this morning (I had to confirm whether other runners thought it was as challenging a course as I did) and it has occurred to me that there is no way on earth I could ever remember details and observations with the same type of vividity that other runners seem to be able to. Some of the accounts I read were just great, filled with rich and descriptive detail that covered very specific parts of each person's experience.
Is there a trick to this? Are people taking notes? Am I some sort of outlier who is so oblivious to what is going on during the race that I can't remember the simple details that I should? I am kind of miffed because I would love to write a great race report.
But the thing is, it's like, I have no idea how I felt during miles 5-7. In fact, I don't even remember what part of the course miles 5-7 covered. I remember starting. I remember some hills in the begininng, I remember another hill in the middle, I remember some of the gatorade cups at the h2O station were frozen and I remember crossing the finish line. That's it. next thing I know I'm eating omelets in my apartment.
I've run in many races over the years and it's like this for every one of them. Race amnesia...Anyone else?

The First Dismissal: Penguin Special
While violent revolution and social upheaval rocked Europe, far away in New South Wales, Governor Lachlan Macquarie was sowing the seeds for the Australian idea of the 'fair go'. Macquarie was a reformer and an emancipator. He believed that a person's worth – be they gentry, infantry or convict – lay in what they were capable of doing, not what they had done in the past. He freed the brilliant, mercurial convict Francis Greenway and appointed him government architect for the buildings that would shape a new nation. But to the Tory British government of 1820, Macquarie and Greenway's unconventional alliance threatened NSW's very legitimacy as a penal colony. Here Luke Slattery breathes dramatic life into Australia's first political dismissal and, along the way, maps Macquarie and Greenway's bold collaborations and extraordinary architectural – and cultural – legacy.Luke Slattery

Destroyer returns at 154lbs!
By William Wilczewski
Both are 31 years old and have had their share of wearing minor association title belts around their wastes. Now, both need an impressive performance to get a shot a major title belt. Problem is, only one can come out victorious when Nogales, Sonora, Mexico's David "The Destroyer" Lopez and Accra, Ghana's Ossie Duran headline ESPN's Friday Night Fights card at Desert Diamond Casino near Sahuarita, Ariz. Duran (23-6-2, 9 KOs), who now calls Patterson, N.J., home, had his first big shot in the A-class ring when he laced 'em against James Kirkland on June 1, 2007. After losing a 10-round unanimous decision, Duran took more than a year off before fighting to a draw with Eromosele Albert in September of the last year. Lopez (37-12, 25 KOs) will be his next test after nearly seven months of inactivity — but he says he's prepared for it, despite Lopez's home field advantage.
"I will fight anybody, anywhere, anytime," he said at Wednesday's press conference at the Americana Motor Hotel in Nogales, Ariz. "This is going to be a stepping stone for me. A win will put me in the position to fight the bigger guys."
Duran, however, is not overlooking Lopez in this scheduled 10-round bout.
"We're not looking past him. That would be a mistake," said his manager Phil Shevack. "You watch. It's going to be a hell of a fight, and you can quote me on that."
Lopez, whose most recent fight was in October of last year (a 12-round unanimous decision victory over Samuel Miller at DDC), is expecting the same.
"I know him very well," he said through a translator. "He's tough and he's going to come to fight. But, I've worked harder and trained harder and am better prepared then ever."
Lopez better hope so after making a transition in his career. In hopes of getting those high-profile fights, Lopez is dropping from the middleweight division (160 pounds) to junior middleweight (154) in this bout.
"This fight will be critical for me to know how my body will react," he said. "I'm going to prove that I will be at my best at 154. I will do my best … and am expecting an explosive fight."
Lopez, in his twelfth appearance at DDC, is no stranger to explosive fights. He hasn't lost one in a while, which was a stunning defeat to Fulgencia Zuniga on Jan. 6, 2005. Since then he's racked up 13 victories, with seven of them coming by knockout or technical knockout.
In his last 13 fights, Duran has gone 9-3-1, with only three of those victories coming by way of knockout, giving reason for some to question the righty's power against Lopez, who is a southpaw and is used to heavier opponents. Lopez also has a 4-inch height and 6-inch reach advantage, but may be giving up some speed.
"He's taller than me, but that doesn't matter to me," Duran said. "We've got our plans (on his to deal with him). I don't think it will be that difficult. Regardless, when the bell rings, the games start.
"I respect him. He's a good fighter," he added. "But, I'm good, too."
"I do have a reach advantage, and all that, but it doesn't matter," Lopez said. "Whatever kind of fight he brings, I will adapt. I can fight inside and outside, and deal with speed. Adapting is what a good fighter does."
A good fighter also does his business legally, unlike fellow Mexican Antonio Margarito. Final test results came back recently on the hand wraps Margarito attempted to use before his TKO loss to Shane Mosley on Jan. 24. The test came up positive for sulfur and calcium. Those two substances, when mixed with oxygen, create plaster of Paris. As a result, Margarito was suspended for fighting in California for one year, and most U.S. states are expected to follow suit.
"He did not get a harsh enough punishment," Lopez said. "He got off easy. Some would say he should be suspended for life."
"For me, I don't need that," he added. "It's not going to help you. If you can punch, you are born with, and that's it."
As for the safety of all the fighters on tonight's card, "The Arizona State Commission supervisors always walk around and make sure everything is being done legally," said Golden Boy Promotions Vice President Eric Gomez. "Plus, both these fighters are pros and take their jobs seriously. They have never been reprimanded for doing anything wrong."
The co-main event of the evening tonight might showcase the most high-profile name of the night when DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley (33-10-1, 19KOs) faces Hector "El Flaco" Sanchez (17-0, 8 KOs) in an eight-round welterweight match-up.
Corley, who has been in with some of the best—Zab Judah, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Miguel Cotto and Junior Witter — has shown glimpses of world-class greatness, and at age 34 is hoping Father Time gives him a few more specs of sand to propel his career into the upper echelons once again.
He is coming off of two knockout wins prior to losing a unanimous decision to Randall Bailey in October 2008. On the other hand, Sanchez, 12 years Corley's junior, has knocked out all three of his last opponents within four rounds.
Also on the undercard …
*2004 Olympian Rock Allen (14-0, 7 KOs) is scheduled to battle Adan Hernandez (14-6, 5 KOs) in an eight-round junior welterweight fight.
*Carlos Velasquez (9-0, 5 KOs), a 2004 Puerto Rican Olympian, will be featured in a four-round junior lightweight event. His opponent has not yet been determined.
*In a six-round junior featherweight bout, Hylon Williams (8-0, 3 KOs), an alternate for the 2008 U.S. Olympic team, faces Derrick Moon (12-26-1, 3 KOs).
*Southern Arizona heavyweight Eric Woods (5-0, 4 KOs) will test himself against Andrae Carthron (0-1-1).
*Karl Dargan (3-0, 1 KO), who won the gold medal in the light welterweight division at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, will also fight Rudy Valdez (2-3, 1 KO) in the junior welterweight division. The fight is slated for four rounds.
NOTE: Although nothing is scheduled yet, DDC and Golden Boy Promotions officials are saying they have plans for more professional boxing to come to the Diamond Center in the 2009 season.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by orientalplane, Apr 9, 2011.
I haven't seen it for ages, but I love 12 Angry Men. RIP.
I loved Network. What a hoot!
RIP Sidney Lumet.
Peter Finch was great in Network, winning a posthumous Academy Award. I didn't like the film as much as some of Lumet's other work, though.
His social conscience informed his work; and made us think.
Thank you. We are richer because of that.
My five favourite Sidney Lumet movies (well, other than the ones already mentioned above!):
The Wiz (Diana Ross, Michael Jackson) - LOVE the soundtrack, too
Strip Search (Glenn Close, Maggie Gyllenhaal) - a MUST-see
Deathtrap (Michael Caine, Christopher Reeve, Dyan Cannon) - a GREAT movie
Running on Empty (River Phoenix, Judd Hirsch) - River...!
Equus (Richard Burton)
Other Sidney Lumet movies of note:
The Verdict (Paul Newman, Jack Warden)
Murder on the Orient Express (Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman)
The Morning After (Jane Fonda, Jeff Bridges)
Family Business (Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman)
Q & A (Timothy Hutton, Nick Nolte, Armand Assante)
Network is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Talk about prophetic!
My favorite Lumet film, "Prince of the City", is the best 'cop' film ever, imo. Unfortunately, it didn't do well at the box office. IIRC, Lumet was married to Lena Horne's daughter, Gail Buckley, and had two daughters with her.

A new study asserts that the recession had little influence on the rise in unemployment.
New York Times: "The study, by two economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, asserts that workforce participation is in long-term decline. If the recession had never happened, or the economy had since returned to complete health, the authors estimate 59.3 percent of adults would have jobs, instead of 58.6 percent."
"As the baby boom ages into retirement, the authors argue that fewer people want those jobs. The problem of unemployment is evaporating right before our eyes."
"This assertion has large consequences. It suggests that the rapid fall in the unemployment rate, which reached 6.7 percent in December, is an accurate measure of a labor market that is almost done healing. It follows that the Fed's stimulus campaign has nearly served its purpose, that it is time to retreat, perhaps even more quickly, and that some Fed officials are right to worry about doing too much."
The implication is that, in effect, there were too many jobs before the recession – that the labor market was overheating – and, as a result, that some of the recent losses should be seen as a return to health.Save to Favorites

text: Hi Everyone, I have a couple TivoHD's that I've used for years and until now have had little reason to change. I recently moved and no longer have access to Comcast cable. I now must use a rural cable company that does not provide cable cards. Thankfully, TiVo does have the channel guide for my new cable provider but the TivoHD only receives channel 2-99. I assume this is because the internal tuners are analog. The curious thing is that when I hook the cable directly to my newer flat panel television then run a channel scan I receive many more channels above channel 99. I'm guessing this is because most modern TV's have a built-in digital tuner for non-subscription channels. Both the Premier and TiVo HD specifications say "Analog Cable, Digital Cable (may require CableCARD)". My question is this: If I buy the newer Premier (Not the 4 or 4XL) would it's new tuner receive more of the non-subscribed channels than the TivoHD does? Maybe like my TV does? Remember, I cannot use cable cards with my new cable company. Thanks for commenting!

Hey guys,
I tried to upload my first file to themeforest just recently and it was declined for the following reason:
"We've declined your submission due to its current level of design quality"
And then it goes on to say:
Q: What, specifically, is wrong with my submission's design?
A: Unfortunately we're not always able to provide specific feedback. A design must meet a certain level of quality standards before we will be able to point out specific issues you will need to fix for approval. You might read our guide on common factors that result in a declined submission.
So I read that over and I still can't figure out exactly whats wrong with my design quality.
It goes on to say to ask help from the forum,
Q: I need more feedback, who can I ask or where should I look?
A: If you're unsure how to proceed and need further feedback, you might consider asking for input from other community members and designers via our forums. http://themeforest.net/forums/
So I am asking for you help from you guys. This is my first file submission to themeforest, I usually upload to activeden so I understand things need to be of good quality. Please be kind, here is a link to a preview.
If I have miss posted something, I apologize.
Thanks, Scott

Lets not forget some parallax adjustment on that 10 power scout optic.........

Lets not forget some parallax adjustment on that 10 power scout optic.........
can still use the scout rifle with a 10x scope. the guy is asking for opinions i gave him mine. Stay focused on the op and leave me out of it. this topic isnt about me
I'd like to jump in here with a good zinger but it's a friendly forum so I'll let it go....
The Ruger looks like an updated Rem. 600 with a boxy mag added.
From Jeff Cooper's Scout Rifles
In Cooper's words, he "revived" the term "Scout Rifle" in 1968 when he acquired a 6½-pound Remington 600 chambered in .308. He removed the rifle's plastic rib and front bead sight, replacing that arrangement with a rear ghost-ring and square-notch front post. This was the first Cooper Scout Rifle, a prototype of things to come. His 17-year-old daughter Parry went on to win two open-rifle competitions with the little gun
My brothers in Arms, thanks for all the good info with regards to my query for a scoped Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle. But there is no need for personal insults,
it's silly to ruin your day over an opinion other than your own. Lets keep the forum in the spirit of what it should be, to create a wealth of good information
for everyone. Lets leave the fighting to the politicians. Thanks Tom
Hello and thanks for the tip. Do you hunt with your Frontier? and how do you like the foreword position for a scope? I like the idea of using both eyes
although I have not tried it as I can't fire the gun till spring. I just like shooting with my 13 year old son. Thanks Tom
I just saw a left handed one on Gunbroker. I like it.
le, it's got to be the best all-round rifle ! You can hunt with it, you can use it for defense or tactical purposes. Get some 20-30 round magazines for it and you have a decent tactical rifle ! Bolt actions last forever and need little maintenance compared to semi-autos. With a little practice anyone can become proficient with a bolt action rifle ! It's nice to see a good old school rifle come on the scene !!

This time around, we're talking to Bora Zivkovic of A Blog Around The Clock.
What's your name?
Bora Zivkovic, better known online as "Coturnix" (the Latin name of the genus of my favourite lab animal model).
What do you do when you're not blogging?
I am a stay-at-home Dad and also an adjunct biology teacher in adult college education. I am also writing my dissertation incredibly slowly. Sometimes I sleep, too.
What is your blog called?
A Blog Around the Clock
What's up with that name?
I am a chronobiologist so I often write about circadian clocks. I also write all the time and post at all times of day and night. The title also dates me and my music preferences. And it all comes together in the beautiful banner painted by Carel Pieter Brest van Kempen.
How long have you been blogging, anyway?
A little over two years on my own blog(s). A little longer on other people's blogs, campaign blogs, etc.
Where are you from and where do you live now?
Born in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). I came to the USA, to North Carolina, one week before the wars broke out at home in 1991. I became a US citizen in 1998. I have lived in Raleigh for 11 years, in Cary for 9 months and in Chapel Hill (which I really love) for the past 3 plus years.
Would you describe yourself as a working scientist?
I wish. I burned out as ABD after 10 years in grad school. It is hard for anyone to get postdocs and jobs these days, and it will be even harder for me with a two-year gap in my CV, but I'll do whatever it takes to get myself back into the lab as soon as possible.
Any educational experiences or degrees you'd like to mention?
Biochemistry and molecular biology major in high school in Yugoslavia. Unfinished vet school at University of Belgrade. MS in Zoology/Physiology at NCSU. School Of Hard Knocks.
What are your main academic interests, in or out of your field?
I have always tried to remain as broad as possible in my interest and research. While questions of biological timing are central, I try to approach them from as many angles and at as many levels as possible (i.e., the Integrative and Comparative approach), from molecules through development, neuroendocrinology and reproduction, to behavior, ecology and evolution. I also have interests in history, sociology and philosophy of biology.
The last book you read?
I tend to read several simultaneously, usually one academic science, one popular science, one current events/politics/society, one science-fiction. The very latest I finished today: Snooze…or Lose! by Helene Emsellem.
What is your idea of a perfect day?
Not having to get up early. Nice weather to go outside and enjoy it with my family and friends. No need to get in a car. A day (a November 4) when a Democrat gets elected President will also be quite a perfect day. My Ph.D. defense day (if successful) will be the most perfect day.
What's your greatest habitual annoyance?
Authority demanded yet undeserved.
Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?
Sherlock Holmes. The Three Investigators. Hermione Grainger. Billy, the Galactic Hero.
Your favorite heroes in real life?
My wife – all those 12-hour night-shifts in the ICU….
What's your most marked characteristic?
Skinny. Big nose.
What's your principal defect?
I talk too much.
What quality do you admire most in a person?
Open-mindedness and humility.
Who are your favorite writers?
Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, a number of SF writers, Stephen Jay Gould and some Yugoslavs you have probably never heard of…
What would you like to be?
25 again, but knowing what I know now.

In Your Opinion am I Balding? Lots of white Bulbs and Thin
I've had it in my head that I am balding for a while now, a year or Two. Everyone Tells me my hair is normal and It just looks the way it does because of a Natural part I have developed... My hair has broken off and in my opinion isn't half as thick as it used to be. 95% of my hair is new growth there is still some permed ends on some of my hair in the back that for some reason did not break off.... Also I can see the hair folicles the little white bulbs just sitting in my hair especially around the hairline is this normal I never remember seeing so many little white bulbs just laying around my scalp before...... Before I see the Dermatologist i'd like some opinions.. Thanks
A pic don't know if it's relevant but my hair had not been combed or washed for 2 days in his pic....
Looks okay to me but good idea to see a dermatologist anyway. Mixing up the parts is always a good idea.
It looks fine to me. I think you should see a dermatologist if it is bothering you though, especially if you are under a lot of stress or have a family history of alopecia.
BTW, are you sure the white bulbs you are seeing are the hair follicles? It could be a symptom of some scalp condition, not necessarily leading to baldness. Good luck and try not to worry too much.
I think it is a good idea to get it looked at by a medical professional, rather than just have us speculate. That said, for a wider range of opinions perhaps you could post this over on the non hair board, too.

I know a lot of the comments on Eleven Warriors have wished warm regards to Captain Christian Bryant, but I wanted to pause for a moment and reflect on what this young man has put on the line...and publicly thank him for what he has meant to this team. He lost perhaps a future in the NFL (but miracles do happen), and more immediately painful...an opportunity to lead on the field for this (second!) extraordinary team at Ohio State led by Urban Meyer. Nobody said it better than the head coach when he pounded the lectern and choked up at the thought of that very same thing. But Meyer wasn't as choked up about the loss of Bryant's leadership as he was about the loss to the young man himself!
Football isn't everything...us everyday yahoos know there is life beyond it. But it certainly is everything right now to these kids. We, as adults who might've already seen our (speaking for me) physically best years, live in part, vicariously through the exploits of our beloved Buckeyes, kids, just like Bryant. And injuries like this can be devastating to talented young men growing into the prime of life...and hard to take even for those of us with nothing really invested except our love for the team.
Good leadership and sound psychology go hand in hand. These kids have genuinely bought in to the principles being taught, not just the ra ra, banner waving kind, either. They trust the staff. They do force themselves to go to the very edge in the weight room, and to exhaustion on the practice field...just for an opportunity to lay it all out there on Saturday nights under the lights. And because of the relentless effort of those willing to sacrifice for the glory of stepping onto the field for The Ohio State University, dreams are fulfilled.
But sometimes dreams are broken...shattered by injury, stupidity, or laziness.
Christian Bryant has shown neither of the latter two. In fact, young men like him are the cream rising to the top. Sometimes it takes a few years for this to happen, and sometimes it never happens at all. Rarely does it happen immediately. And even if it happens, it is even more rarely coupled with the ability to be a true leader on the field of play, but that is exactly what happened in Bryant's case. His leadership abilities were coaxed out by the soundness of the coaching and mentoring philosophy employed by Mr. Meyer and his trusted assistants. Good leadership begets good leadership.
Christian Bryant emerged last year as a more than solid player, and escalated that improvement with another improvement this year as the games wore on. He was approaching that venerable status of "shutdown", and perhaps, if given the rest of the year, would be tuning up for a national championship with NFL scouts taking note. But barring that one incredible set of circumstances that would clear him for a return in January, he is lost to the field.
As stated by the players themselves, there is a solid confidence in those behind him. But it is his on-field generalship that they will miss. The Next Man Up attitude is fully in play here, and somebody will fill the void...because there is no choice.
But for Christian Bryant...our prayers are with you young man, and whether or not you ever step foot in the defensive backfield again for Ohio State, you are hereby thanked from the bottom of our hearts for your contribution to the team and to the tradition of excellence at Ohio State.
Thank you, and though I can only speak for myself, I know every true Buckeye fan feels the same.

Records from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington D.C. show Prairie Village city council members Ruth Hopkins and Diana Ewy Sharp were charged $170 per night plus $24.65 in taxes during their July 2005 trip to a National League of Cities conference, according to information released today by City Administrator Quinn Bennion. UPDATED: Click here to view Hopkins' receipt.
A group of Prairie Village residents have been claiming that the hotel stay cost the city $800 per night.
The total the city paid for Hopkins' stay at the Mandarin was $802.41, and included four nights and one meal. The $646.93 the city paid for Ewy Sharp's stay included three nights and two meals. The Mandarin was the host hotel for the conference.
Bennion also said he had conferred with every council member who had incurred airport transportation expenses, and confirmed that not one trip was taken in a limousine. Charges billed from "KC Limousine" were for airport shuttles or car services.
Ewy Sharp issued the following statement regarding the accusations that the city had paid for limousines and $800 a night hotel stays:
I am disappointed that Prairie Village City Council Members and Mayor Shaffer are being attacked by speculations and assumptions versus facts. We are elected to be good stewards of the taxpayer's money. I still stand by my original statement that I do not believe there have been abuses in my travel expenses and that is based on factual evidence and reports.
If these two particular accusations are not based on facts, it makes me wonder about all the other accusations Ms. (Jori) Nelson is making.
(We'll update this post if we get additional statements or comments from those involved).
