Looking at getting an AR, it has always been on my radar but due to the political climate I am thinking I should get one before someone decides I shouldn't be able to get one.
My budget is pretty flexible but I am looking for the best bang for my buck (pun intended). I stopped at the LGS the other day and they tried to push me hard on the Rock River Tactical Operator and actually said if I wanted to spend more to go to a POF model (piston) and they said LMT and DD were not worth the extra money. The RRA was just under $1000. My realistic budget is preferably under $1500 for the stock firearm though if it is not a firm budget if I there is something close that is worth it.
What I want is a good entry level solid well built and built to last AR. I want it capable of duty style use but it doesn't have to perfectly follow "the chart" if there is a good reason or potentially a better solution for one of the variables. I have done quite a bit of reading on here, m4carbine, arf.com and also some other websites. I guess if this ends up being the only one I have the opportunity to purchase and own I want to know I made the best decision I can. I want it capable to handle a SHTF or TEOTWAWKI but I also am no mall ninja, I just want quality and am willing to pay a reasonable amount for it.
I want carbine length but am undecided about carbine or midlength buffer. Thoughts? Options?
I would prefer it to come with sights but that is not a deal breaker, I want to run irons for a while and will probably eventually put an aimpoint on it. I've done a a few appleseeds and am capable of holding my own with irons.
Piston seems to be the easiest for maintainence but if we are in SHTF scenario and something breaks the vast majority of ARs are DI so that's my choice for this one (the 2nd, 3rd or more may be piston eventually though).
Thanks for the help and reading this.
ETA: I know buying a separate upper and lower is the most economical way to go but I don't want to go that route at this time. That will be the next one, once I know what I do and do not like about the one you all convince me I need to get.

Former EastEnders star Ricky Groves is currently busy training ahead of his first dives for the second series of ITV show Splash! but he's taken time out away from the pool to reveal that his estranged wife Hannah Waterman – who was also his co-star on the BBC soap – refuses to have any contact with him.
The couple split four years ago after Hannah ditched him on New Year's Eve 2009, but they're still not divorced. However, as both he and Hannah now have new partners, Ricky had assumed that at some point, she would want to discuss making their breakup official.
However, he told The Sun on Sunday, "I can't understand it. After all, it was her idea to end our marriage.
"Every time I've rung her the phone has been on but she's not answered. I've left messages, sent texts but got no reply.
"You would have thought she would be keen to get a divorce, especially now she's had a baby."
He added, "It's sad because we were together for ten years…
"Recently I texted her that our dog Ernie, who I was looking after, had died. I didn't even get a response to that."
Ricky continued, "It took me a long, long time to get over what happened. It was the lowest I've ever been.
"It was the clinical way it was done. I wish she had let me down gently but I suppose there is no easy way to leave someone.
"Our break-up hit me hard because I took my vows very seriously. My parents celebrated their golden anniversary this year and I always saw marriage as being for life.
"But as Mum said to me, 'You had ten good years' and that's how I see it too. I'm not bitter.
"Mind you, I'd always disliked New Year's Eve. I dislike it even more now. This time of year brings back all those memories.
"But I'm not moping around the house on my own anymore."
On a happier note, Ricky then said he's loving taking part in Splash!, remarking, "I like learning something different, which is why I did Strictly Come Dancing in 2009 when I was thrilled to get to week ten.
"With Splash! it's more about facing my fears. Diving is the hardest sport I have ever done, and that includes skiing and snowboarding.
"When you look down over the edge of the board. it's terrifying."
He added, "My admiration for Tom Daley has gone through the roof. People just don't appreciate how brave he is.
"He was doing all these spectacular dives the other day and the crew said, 'Oh, that's just Tom warming up.'
"I haven't even got to the highest board yet."
The new series of Splash! debuts next Saturday, but for now, here's a reminder of Ricky as Gary on EastEnders…

Photos of Frida Kahlo's locked-away belongings go on display in London
LONDON (Reuters) - For 50 years, the colorful wardrobe and personal belongings of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo were hidden away in a bathroom.
Her husband, muralist Diego Riviera, stored them after her death from pneumonia in 1954 at their Mexico City home, "The Blue House", stipulating that the room stay sealed until 15 years after his death.
It was. Rivera died in 1957 but the room remained unopened until 2004 when the Frida Kahlo Museum, housed in the couple's old home, began to catalog its contents and invited Ishiuchi Miyako to take photographs of the more than 300 items.
Those photographs are now on display in an exhibition in London, showing Kahlo's corsets, shoes, sunglasses as well as clothing she used to hide her disfigurement following polio and a devastating bus accident.
"I was pretty nervous when I came face to face with her things but ... little by little it was like I could communicate with her," Miyako, who has previously photographed belongings of victims of the Hiroshima bombing, told Reuters.
"I saw the sense of sadness in her belongings, there was no one left to wear them because Frida died so long ago. It was the same sadness I saw left behind by the women who died in Hiroshima."
As a child, Kahlo suffered a bout of polio that left one of her legs thinner. At 18, she was in a bus accident that broke her spine in three places.
Her work - mainly self portraits - celebrates Mexican tradition and is known worldwide for its depiction of female experiences and form.
Miyako's photographs document the traditional dresses that Kahlo, a strong supporter of Mexico's traditional culture, chose to hide her disfigurement as well as her prosthetic leg, adorned with Chinese embroidery and a small bell. Continued...

First Person: The Five Peaks Race
Randonee racer Bryan Wickenhauser reports on the first Five Peaks ski mountaineering race in the Ten Mile Range above Breckenridge—a monster course that gained 10,000 vertical feet. Thirty-five teams of two braved the challenge on April 10; see the Five Peaks website for full results and links to photos. Here's Wick's report:
The inaugural Five Peaks race lived up to its hype as North America's longest ski mountaineering race, with 10,000 feet of vertical and five separate ascents behind and in the Breckenridge ski resort. My teammate for the race was my fellow Team Crested Butte member Jon Brown. We've both been racing in the COSMIC Series for the last four years, and we train all the time together—perfect partners!
The weather going into Friday night called for temps bottoming out at 20°F with light winds for Saturday and sunny skies. Really a perfect forecast for an April ski mountaineering event. The start was classic Alpine at 6 a.m., so we awoke at 4:30 a.m. to get our breakfast on and have time for a brief warm up at gear check.
The start was at the base of Peak 9 at about 9,600 feet, and our first summit would be Peak 10, about 4,000 feet higher! We skinned our way up some mellow groomed runs to the top of the ski area, where we continued though a backcountry gate. Now we began to get into more technical skinning, as we were above tree line and the winds had taken most of the loose snow and deposited it elsewhere (like hopefully on the descents). … Continue Reading

This little schoolboy first whacked a golf ball a year ago, after watching hit film Happy Gilmore.
Now prodigy Sam Gwilliams is one of the top five under-seven players in the world.
He enjoyed the Adam Sandler movie about a failed ice hockey player who becomes an ace golfer so much he took up the sport 12 months ago.
Within just three weeks he had qualified for the Callaway Junior World Championships in San Diego, California.
Now Sam, seven, is playing off par and getting ready to take on the world's best in the US Kids Golf World Championships in North Carolina.
He has been invited to the elite international tournament in Pinehurst – the same venue as the 2014 US Open.
Sam beamed: "I am really excited. Happy Gilmore is my favourite film.
"As soon as I saw it, I wanted to copy him and hit the ball as far as I could.
"Hopefully I can win in America – I'm really looking forward to it."
His proud mum Alison, 46, explained: "We bought him Happy Gilmore as an Easter present and he just fell in love with the film.
"It made him want to get out on the golf course as soon as possible.
"He is playing off par already and he only picked up his golf clubs 12 months ago."
The youngster, who lives with parents Alison and Andrew, 40, in Annscroft, Shrops, quickly made an impression at nearby Arscott Golf Club.
Alison added: "He can even play like Happy Gilmore, running up to the tee and smashing the ball."

Asia stocks rise over US budget deal optimism
A man checks the electronic stock board of a securities firm in Tokyo, Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012. Asian stock markets were mostly higher Tuesday, boosted by signs China's recovery is gaining traction and hopes for a new stimulus in Japan. (AP Photo/Itsuo Inouye)
BANGKOK (AP) — Asian stock markets rose Wednesday after U.S. political leaders appeared to be closing in on a budget deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" by the year-end deadline. Economists have been warning the U.S. economy could be thrown back into recession without a deal.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index jumped 1.1 percent to 10,034.45. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index rose 0.7 percent to 22,640.25. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.3 percent to 4,608.90. Benchmarks in New Zealand, Taiwan, and Malaysia also rose, while those in Singapore and mainland China fell. Stock markets in South Korea were closed for a public holiday during [auth] Wednesday's presidential election.
Stock markets have been on edge for weeks as President Barack Obama and Republican leaders struggle to hammer out an agreement before Jan. 1, when automatic tax hikes and government spending cuts will take effect if no deal is reached.
The two sides appear to be moving closer together, on income taxes at least.
On Monday, Obama offered to freeze income tax rates for taxpayers making $400,000 or less and raise them for people making more. Previously, Obama wanted higher taxes for individual income above $200,000, or $250,000 for couples.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner would allow income tax rates to rise for people making more than $1 million per year and would hold rates where they are for everyone making less. The top rate on income exceeding $1 million would go from 35 percent to 39.6 percent. Previously, Boehner opposed allowing any tax rates to go up.
"To be honest, the numbers are irrelevant at the moment and will change numerous times before a final deal is settled on," said Cameron Peacock of IG Markets in Melbourne said in an email commentary. "What is important and what is driving the market higher is that the two parties are now in constructive discussions over specific tax levels and spending programs and working toward a common middle ground."
Investor sentiment also got a boost after the Standard & Poor's rating agency said Tuesday that it had raised Greece's credit grade by six notches to B-, lifting the country out of default. The threat of a Greek default had roiled markets in the first half of this year.
Investors worried that the heavily indebted nation would leave the euro, opening the way for a break-up of the currency block. The ratings firm said the upgrade reflected its view that the other 16 countries using the euro are determined to keep the Greece inside the currency union.
In Japan, the focus remains on the weekend landslide election victory of the Liberal Democratic Party, whose leader, Shinzo Abe, in line to become prime minister, wants to shore up growth with higher public works spending. That was despite concern about the consequences of adding to Japan's towering public debts and doubts about the effectiveness of looser policy.
Benchmark oil for January delivery rose 2 cents to $88.42 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 73 cents Tuesday to finish at $87.93 on the Nymex.
In currencies, the euro rose to $1.3226 from $1.3220 late Tuesday in New York. The dollar rose to 84.36 yen from 84.20 yen.

I recently had my 2007 SXT 3.5L in for the engine light on twice now. It showed code P1004. The dealer upgraded some software to correct the problem and it did not work and I took the car back. Apparently if the software upgrade does not work and you are under warranty they are obligated to install a completely new intake manifold which they did. So far so good.

For the second time in three weeks, Lares Fashion and Western Wear in downtown Waukesha was robbed.
The most recent robbery occurred at the store, 245 W. Main St., at about 4:40 p.m. Friday, June 27.
Lt. Joe Hendricks of the Waukesha Police Department said an armed person, wearing a mask over his face, came into the store, displayed a handgun and demanded an undisclosed amount of money.
No one was hurt, Hendricks said. The suspect fled on foot, running west on Main Street.
Investigators are still actively following up on leads.
Hendricks said the department's criminal investigation unit is reviewing downtown business cameras in an attempt to identify the suspect, who according to the police report was a white man between the ages of 20 and 30.
The suspect was wearing a camouflage and black hooded sweatshirt and had a camouflage scarf covering his face, according to the police report. According to the police report, the suspect was also wearing camouflage shorts and white and blue-colored shoes.
Four adults and two kids were in the store at the time of the robbery, according to the police report.
Hendricks said while the suspect tied to the previous robbery is in jail, the police department is looking into whether there are any connections to the two cases.
Dylan Drabek, a 19-year-old Brookfield man, was charged on June 19 in Waukesha County Court with armed robbery after being accused of stealing $9,000 from Lares Fashion and Western Wear on June 2.
According to the criminal complaint, Drabek used a can of mace and his index finger to imitate the appearance of a gun inside a pocket on his hooded sweatshirt, then handed a note to a clerk at Lares Fashion listing his demands.
'Give me the money bags now, I'm desperate and armed, now,' the note said in the complaint.
According to court records, Drabek is being held at the county jail on a $50,000 cash bond. At his preliminary hearing last week, Drabek's attorney made a request for a competency examination for his client. The state did not object, online court records show.
Drabek will be examined by the Wisconsin Forensic Unit within 15 days of the last hearing (June 25). Drabek's attorney's request for modifying Drabek's bail was declined.
Drabek's next hearing is scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday, July 11, at the Waukesha County Courthouse.

US Officials Killed in Ambush in Mexico
Officials say a suspected drug gang killed three people over the weekend in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
The Associated Press reports that an American couple and a Mexican man with ties to the U.S. consulate were killed when the gang ambushed their cars on Saturday. One of the Americans who was killed was a pregnant consulate worker, according to The New York Times. The Mexican citizen killed was the husband of another consular worker.
President Barack Obama said he was deeply saddened and outraged over the border city deaths. Officials are advising U.S. government employees to send family members out of the area, and American travellers are being advised to avoid the city.
Mexico's president, Felipe Calderón, said he would start an investigation into the case. Authorities suspect hit men allied with the Juarez drug cartel.
Nearly fifty people were killed in drug-related violence over the weekend in Mexico, according to The NYT.

Unformatted text preview: The Separation and Identification of a Series of Cations Yubo Liu Lab Partners: Leah, Dennis Due November 9 th , 2009 Yubo Liu Abstract The object of this experiment was to familiarize with cations reaction with 11 reagents. Some trends were found based on research and observations. The acid reagents didnt generally form precipitates. The carbonate, phosphate, and chromate mostly formed precipitates and dissolved in nitric acid test. Hydroxides of some cations were amphoteric. Some metals formed amine complexes. Sulfides precipitated with most cations in basic solutions were black. Sulfides did not precipitate well in acidic conditions. Introduction The goal of this experiment was to identify cations, which were positively charged ions, in known samples based on their reaction in certain reagent solutions through performing qualitative analysis. Since substances and ions have their unique set chemical properties, qualitative analysis can be used to determine these properties from a known sample. Using these identified properties, chemists could run series of tests on unknown samples and figure out what the contents are in the unknown sample. In this experiment, the main concerns were to identify and familiarize with the cations properties. 10 cations were tested on their chemical reactions with acids, bases, and anions. Qualitative analysis can have all kinds of tests. Five different tests were performed in the experiment. They were standard anion test, ammonia test, basic sulfide test, acidic sulfide test, and confirmatory test. In addition, the nitric test would be performed on those with precipitates to test for solubility in acids. Each of the cations would react differently to the combination of all the tests and illustrated through visible evidences. Observations were made and recorded into a chart. They would be useful to identify cations from an unknown sample later on. During these tests in the experiments, the cations exhibited different behaviors. Understandings of these behaviors were crucial to identifying their chemical properties. The first was that the some cations hydroxides precipitates were amphoteric: A(OH) (s) + H + (aq) A + (aq) + H 2 O (l) (1) A(OH) (s) + OH- (aq) A(OH)- (aq) (2) The cations hydroxide could be both acids and bases. Since some metal hydroxides could dissolve in excess hydroxide and acids, this test was useful to isolate the amphoteric species from those that were not. The second were cations behaviors in aqueous ammonia. When ammonia reacted with water, only a small percentage reacted to form ammonia and hydroxide. Four possible outcomes were possible when some cations came in contact in the solution: a metal hydroxide precipitate could form, an amine complex (a metal with many anions bonded) could form, a metal hydroxide precipitate could first and then dissolve into an amine complex, or no reaction could happen....

The Saints won the Superbowl last Sunday, Hell froze over as predicted, and some of the snow seems to have spilled over onto north Louisiana. We were up to our, uh, ankles in snow today.
I am an upasaka at Wat Buddha Samakee Vanaram in Bossier City, across the Red River from Shreveport. The Wat is Thai, and in the Dhammayuta tradition. It is more a Thai expatriate community center than anything else - Buddhist because Thais are Buddhist. There is no educational program for Thais or falangs (Westerners), and the abbot speaks very little English, as do most of the monks who pass through. Congregational conversations are in Thai and Lao, and nobody bothers to translate into English. The Dhamma talk is meditation time for me as I don't speak Thai.
I love the place anyway. The people are great, and I have formed close relationships with some of the monks, despite the language problem. However, they all decline to take me as a student because they do not have confidence in their English ability. So I read and listen to net lectures by various teachers. My favorite is Thanissaro Bhikkhu. I stayed a few weeks at Wat Metta to hear him and talk in person. I intend to go back for a stay this summer.
I am old enough to have been in the Rochester Zen Center when Philip Kapleau was roshi, but have found my way to Theravada since then. My Pali is weak but improving. I can parrot enough Pali to lead the Morning Chanting for the congregation and join the monks in Evening Chanting when I get a chance. I aim to learn it as a language, that is, gain reading ability. I have a little Latin (less Greek), which is a help with Pali.
I lead a meditation/learning group in Shreveport. We call it the Falang Corner since we all sit in the same corner when attending the Wat, and the group is an extension of Wat. I hope there are some on this forum more experienced that I in leading such a group (it wouldn't take much, I have never done this before). We are still feeling our way into what we will become.
I look forward to conversations on this forum!

How Much Should I Spend on a Wedding Gift?
There is no minimum or maximum. When shopping for a wedding gift you should consider two things: your personal budget and your relationship with the couple. It's not necessary to pay for the cost of your dinner, but rather spend what you can afford and feel comfortable spending on something that suits the couple. Don't be afraid to diverge from the registry if you need to.

A look at "Secret Life of Bees" in time of Obama
By Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - If Barack Obama is elected U.S. President, he might just have Dakota Fanning to thank.
More precisely, he can thank people like fictional character Lily Owens, whom Fanning portrays in the new civil rights era movie "The Secret Life of Bees," because without trailblazers like Lily, Obama may not be in the position he is.
"The Secret Life of Bees," which opens on Friday, marks a departure for 14-year-old Fanning. Until now, she has been seen mostly as the adorable little girl in films such as "The Cat in the Hat," "War of the Worlds" and "Charlotte's Web."
Her one push into teenage parts, low-budget "Hounddog" in which she played a victim of child rape, opened in September to little fanfare and almost no box office. But "Bees," in which she gets her first on-screen kiss, is a different sort of film.
It is backed by Fox Searchlight, the studio that has lured audiences to hit comedies "Juno," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Sideways." Moreover, "Bees" features an A-list cast including Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson and singer Alicia Keys.
Yet "Bees" is more than just a film with a hit-making studio behind it and a strong cast. Based on a best-selling novel, it is set in 1964 when the U.S. Congress was debating landmark civil rights legislation. In taking audiences back to that time period, it tells a new generation -- Fanning's -- that people of different races have more in common, than not.
"It was great to explore that in a film and show the intensity of the civil rights era," Fanning told Reuters. "A lot of people my age and younger didn't even know what went on then, so I'm glad this (movie) can change that."

Pros / eHarmony has a detailed profile-making process to help you get better matches.
Cons / If eHarmony can't find matches for you, you can't do anything else on the website.
Verdict / For a detailed and on-the-dot match, eHarmony is a great service.
eHarmony offers a managed approach to online dating based on your personality inventory. You may learn more about yourself than you ever thought possible and have the opportunity to share the information with matches selected for you by eHarmony. With an ongoing national ad campaign, a well-developed site, and consistent focus on lasting relationship results, eHarmony is well respected in the field.
With this service, it's about quality rather than quantity. It is difficult to gauge the potential dating pool at eHarmony because you will only see matches selected for you by the service, and these are limited to about nine at any one time. Though you may not be able to assess quantity, you may assess quality with these matches. You can receive matches before paying the membership fee, but you must join to see photographs.
The eHarmony profile is one of the most extensive found on any online dating site. Think of it as a multiple-choice test with a couple of short open responses thrown in. It's important to be particularly thoughtful when you answer the open-ended questions.
You won't write an essay about yourself, commonly done on other online dating profiles, so these answers are the only original statements potential matches will see. Along with information about yourself, you will also define your "must haves" and "can't stands." You choose from intangibles like "verbal intimacy" and "spirit of volunteerism" for required traits and from a host of negatives like "hypocrites," "flirts" and "television junkies" for deal breakers.
If you rush through questions, eHarmony will not let you proceed with the profile. At the top of the screen a note will appear stating that rushing through the process has a negative impact, and you'll have to review or change your answers before moving on.
One drawback to the profile maker is that if eHarmony does not like your answers, you will be told they have no matches for you and you can't move any further. Other sites will suggest matches that might work and generally keep the process going, even if there are no obvious matches.
The searching and matching functions are different from most online dating sites because eHarmony manages both of these features for you. It will only match you with singles that match your profile and will not allow you to search for matches on your own.
Communication replaces searching and matching on eHarmony. You may choose from two types of communication: standard (guided) and fast track (open). eHarmony was founded on the guided communication method, but has added the second option for those who are comfortable with writing emails to their matches at the beginning of the process and thereby circumventing the multiple-choice question and answer phase.
If you opt for guided communication, you may express interest in one of your matches and select five multiple-choice questions for him or her to answer. If your match answers, you will receive their answers and a set of questions to answer in return. You may select one of the pre-written answers or answer in your own words. After two rounds of this type of exchange, you may move to open communication.
Alternately, you may choose to request a secure telephone call at any step in the online process. And, at any point, you may choose to put communication on hold or close it.
eHarmony is one of the best online dating sites for general advice. A large section of its website is devoted to advice and dating information. eHarmony has helpful articles about common dating mistakes and how to remedy these mistakes, receive tips on how to act on a date and how to tell if a person is interested in you. You can also take quizzes that will tell you what you are doing wrong, what type of person you should look for and what type of person you should avoid.
eHarmony offers a fundamentally different approach to online dating than many competing online dating websites: it's all a matter of who takes the reins. If you feel more comfortable with the managed approach, eHarmony is for you, but if you want to do the choosing, look to the rest of our online dating site reviews.

The December 2012 deadline has no scientific basis whatsoever (and in fact the Mayans never predicted anything would happen on that date, they just didn't make any more calendars to go after then so everyone just 'assumed' they meant it was the end of the world).
As for solar flares, they are very real. Every year there is damage done to technology on and around earth due to solar activity, including a few years back when satellites were downed over Canada and a few land-based technology instruments were also knocked out.
Whilst December 2012 has no meaning, January 2013 is precdicted to be a serious 'peak' time for solar activity, so we'll have to wait and see what happens there.

The University of Northern Colorado is a Tree Campus USA for the first time, the Arbor Day Foundation announced today.
Tree Campus USA is a national program created in 2008 to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals.
UNC achieved the title by meeting Tree Campus USA's five standards, which include maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures toward trees, an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning projects.
"We're thrilled to receive this designation as we take great pride in the beauty of our trees, which serve as an outward reflection of the vibrant education and community here," said UNC President Kay Norton. "This distinction represents not only an acknowledgment of sustainability through the years but also validates the foresight of previous campus leaders, whose shared vision transformed a barren landscape in the 1890s into the thriving tree-lined canopy that it is today."
Last summer, UNC Manager of Landscaping & Grounds Pat McDonald and colleague Brent Engel canvassed the 246-acre campus on foot to officially catalog by hand 3,695 trees — about 1,300 more trees than previously estimated from combining a 1987-88 survey with a tally of new and deceased trees since 2002.
UNC is home to the Colorado Tree Coalition state champion trees based on their size:
The university plans on designing a self-guided walking tour of the campus arboretum using the information collected by Engle and McDonald, who also leads groups of student volunteers that plant trees on campus throughout the year, including annually on Arbor Day/Earth Day.
The Arbor Day Foundation and Tree Campus USA sponsor Toyota have helped campuses throughout the country plant hundreds of thousands of trees, and Tree Campus USA colleges and universities invested $23 million in campus forest management last year. More information about the program is available at arborday.org/TreeCampusUSA.

THE Duchess of Cambridge was at the centre of a pregnancy riddle last night
after refusing to eat peanut paste during a royal engagement.
Kate, 29, turned down the protein snack as she and hubby William joined the
Danish Crown Prince and his wife at a famine relief depot.
For years government experts urged mums-to-be to avoid peanuts, fearing a link
to allergies.
Wills, Prince Frederik and Princess Mary tucked into the paste, used in Unicef
relief boxes.
But Kate politely declined — and was filmed giving William an odd look,
hinting they knew something their hosts did not.
Her behaviour in Copenhagen on Wednesday appeared even stranger after
her official spokesman insisted Kate is not allergic to nuts.
One onlooker said: "The Duchess does not have a nut allergy, nor is it like
her to appear rude. The only explanation is that she is pregnant and has
been told — like many expectant mothers — to avoid nuts."
As a result of the refusal, bookies Ladbrokes suspended betting on Wills
and Kate having a baby before the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next June.
Palace sources admitted the incident could fuel speculation.
But one senior source said: "Pregnancy is not the only explanation. The
Duchess is still new to appearing in front of the cameras at official events.
"It is perfectly plausible that she may not yet feel comfortable eating while
the cameras are focused on her. This is not the first time she's turned down
food while under the spotlight."

Good morning,
I'm a new member as of a few mins ago... I have a 2003 bugeye WRX wagon.
A few months ago, one of my idler pulleys for my timing belt froze up, causing the the belt to break, So now i'm trying to swap the engine out. It currently has a JDM EJ20, and 5 speed manual tranny. I''m sure it wasn't the fastest WRX on the road, but I loved driving it, so after the swap, it needs to be as good if not better than before... (I have the numbers off the block, but haven't found a site to reference) Number is: B6754xx. Every AVCS 2.0 seems to be Cxxxxxx. Is this accurate or am i just assuming?
I suppose my main question is, how do i determine if my current engine has avcs, if it doesn't, can i swap one with avcs in its place, and what else would be involved if i do so? I really need the new engine to simply fit right into place, don't have tools or know-how to do too much mod. right now
Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'd really appreciate any and all help. Thanks

The publisher of the Sunday Mirror announced today that it was being investigated by Scotland Yard for alleged phone hacking by former employees.
Trinity Mirror said police had informed MGN Limited, its national newspaper publishing subsidiary, that an inquiry is under way to see if it is criminally liable for alleged unlawful conduct by ex employees at the weekly tabloid.
Several former Sunday Mirror journalists have already been arrested over hacking but this is the first news that the company itself is also being investigated.
Shares in Trinity Mirror dropped by more than 6 per cent soon after it announced the police investigation, although they later recovered.
The development means that the two of Britain's biggest newspaper publishing groups are now thought to be under "corporate" investigation for phone hacking.
Last month it was reported that Rupert Murdoch's News International had been placed under investigation, though the Met has yet to officially confirm that claim.
The company, now rebranded News UK, has not commented on the claim.
Trinity Mirror said the investigation was at "a very early stage" and it said: "The group does not accept wrongdoing within its business and takes these allegations seriously.
"It is too soon to know how these matters will progress and further updates will be made if there are any significant developments."
Several former Trinity Mirror employees have been arrested in a separate strand of the phone hacking inquiry codenamed Operation Golding.
Former Sunday Mirror editor Tina Weaver, who worked at the paper between 2001 and 2012, was arrested in a dawn raid as part of the Metropolitan Police's Operation Weeting inquiry into phone hacking in March.
Ms Weaver, who was heavily pregnant at the time of her arrest, was held with former deputy editor of the newspaper Mark Thomas, current People editor James Scott and deputy editor Nick Buckley. All four were released on bail.
Trinity's Mirror's announcement comes after former Sunday Mirror and News of the World journalist Dan Evans was last week charged with phone-hacking offences.
He is accused of two counts of conspiring with others to intercept communications in their transmission, one of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office and one of perverting the course of justice.
Scotland Yard first announced in March that it was investigating what it alleged was a "separate conspiracy" to the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World.
During his inquiry into press standards, Lord Justice Leveson described former Daily Mirror editor Piers Morgan's claim that he had no knowledge of alleged phone hacking at the newspaper as 'utterly unpersuasive', and said the practice may well have occurred at the title in the late 1990s.
Mr Morgan, now a CNN chat-show host in America, left the paper over a fake picture scandal in 2004, has always denied any knowledge of hacking.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said he could not confirm Trinity Mirror's statement or whether News International, which has recently been rebranded as News UK, is under investigation as a corporate suspect.
He said: "As with any investigation we carry out, we do not identify suspects or anybody arrested or anybody we may we wish to speak to. That goes for corporations the same as it does for individuals."

And this certainly prompts a reminder to be careful of the deer, especially on area roadways.
This is rutting, or mating season, and the deer are on the run and as always pose a threat to area motorists.
Early Tuesday morning a doe was spotted on Philadelphia Street between 10th and 11th streets. Later that morning a doe was seen lying on the sidewalk on Philadelphia Street near 15th Street where it had apparently been hit by a motor vehicle.
Be careful!
Our recent obituaries included the following:
• Marvin "Goose" Goslin, 64, a prominent sports figure in the Pittsburgh media who retired as a broadcaster and sports director for KDKA radio, succumbed to a heart attack on Oct. 12.
A graduate of IUP, "Goose" was a music major in his freshman year in 1967 and then switched to history and English in his second year. He worked the late-night shift as a DJ at WDAD and later was an analyst for Indiana University of Pennsylvania football games.
With his musical background as an accomplished vocalist, he often sang the national anthem before Pittsburgh Penguins hockey games.
In 1983 he became the morning sports anchor for KDKA radio and was a member of the top-rated "K-team" with John Cigna and Fred Honsberger, where he became known as an "entertaining character."
• Randy D. Fleming, 58, who helped his family build one of Indiana County's most recognized Christmas tree farms, died unexpectedly Tuesday when a stream bank at his farm gave way under the weight of a tractor, causing it to roll over and pin him underneath.
Fleming is being remembered as a quiet and genuine man who worked hard to produce quality trees.
He spent his life working with his late father and brothers at their Christmas tree farm.
He was also active in the Indiana County Christmas Tree Growers' Association and Trees for Troops program.
According to his obituary, Randy was known as "Big Fella," not only because of his physical stature, but because of the size of his heart and the love he had for his family.
• Robert "Rob" Grumbling, who passed away unexpectedly on Sunday at his home.
Rob was the superintendent of maintenance, buildings and grounds in the Penns Manor Area School District, and was "one of the most dedicated people I have even known when it came to his work at Penns Manor," according to cousin and school board member Jill Eckenrode.
She writes: "He spent most of his spare time, even after his regular work day was over, at the school. He was a gifted mechanic and electrician and could fix anything.
"What made him special, however, was his love for our district and his willingness to go out of his way — on any day at any time — to do whatever it took to keep things at the schools running in utmost order.
"His loss has affected many," she said.
"Our family and our district is in deep mourning, but his legacy will be evident by all he did for us and for Penns Manor."
Gas prices are hovering around $3.44 a gallon here today. … Please read but don't bet: Indiana High 17, Knoch 10; IUP 27, Edinboro 7; Pitt 42, Old Dominion 10; Steelers 17, Ravens 17 (OT). … Willie, our ex-shoeshine boy, says, "A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country."

Several factors could elevate the No. 1 pick of the 2010 draft, QB Sam Bradford, to the starting role for the St. Louis Rams' next preseason game.
The thumb injury suffered by Rams starter A.J. Feeley during the exhibition game against Cleveland will require an MRI. Feeley also injured his elbow. That, coupled with the quick turnaround to Thursday night's contest with the New England Patriots, means Bradford is likely to see time with the starters.
Bradford, playing with the second team against the Browns, completed six of 14 passes for 24 yards. Feeley connected on five of six throws for 45 yards and a touchdown.
For the preseason, Bradford has yet to toss a touchdown or an interception. He has thrown for 81 yards, completing 44% of his passes, and has been sacked four times.

The Coen brothers are in vintage form in their new feature Inside Llewyn Davies. What is most impressive about the film (a premiere in the Cannes competition at the weekend) is the sure-footed way the Coens combine comedy, music and brooding film noir elements. This is ostensibly a film about the Greenwich Village folk music scene in the early 1960s, just before the coming of Bob Dylan, but it is far richer than such a description might suggest.
Llewyn Davis (brilliantly played by Oscar Isaac) is an ambitious but hapless folk singer with a very chaotic private life. He has seemingly made fellow folk singer Jean Berkey (an enjoyably spiky Carey Mulligan, moving on from her role as Daisy in The Great Gatsby) pregnant. She is in a relationship with a friend of his (played in solemn fashion by Justin Timberlake) and is furious at the predicament he has put her in.
The structure of the film seems partially inspired by James Joyce's Ulysses. The story is set in the dead of winter over only a few days but still has an epic quality. Like Leopold Bloom in Joyce's novel, Davis ricochets around the city, having misadventures. He loses a friend's cat. He has nowhere to stay. Needing a gig, he eventually heads off to Chicago on a road trip with a thoroughly obnoxious jazz musician (John Goodman) and his Dean Moriarty-like sidekick (Garrett Hedlund.)
We're never quite sure how talented Davis actually is. The opening of the film shows him singing a beautiful and haunting solo but no sooner has he finished his performance than he is beaten up in the back yard.
There are echoes here of Barton Fink. Like John Turturro's tormented screenwriter, Davis endures increasingly strange and phantasmagoric experiences as he pursues success.
In the early scenes, the tone is comical. The Coens don't skimp on the satire at the expense of the earnest, hipster folk crowd. At the same time, the music is often glorious.
Sometimes, the shifts in tone are jarring. We think we're watching a comedy but when Davis embarks on his epic road trip to Chicago, the storytelling takes on an altogether darker hue. Goodman's character, who has a cane and is made up to look like Dr John, is thoroughly grotesque. Davis becomes increasingly desperate. You might expect that his misadventures will give him the experience on which to base new songs. However, The Coens refuse to adhere to the rags-to-riches stories.
The film is open-ended and deliberately confounds our expectations at every turn. It's as mercurial as its own lead character, who can seem like a self-pitying, aggressive bore one moment and sing like an angel the next.

Cedar Deck boards
I will be building a deck next month and I am using 2X6 deck boards, planed on 1 side only. I will attach them to the joice and after a while of weathering them, I will be putting a weather protectant sealer on the planed surface. What about the remainder of the boards? Should they also be protected? They will not be exposed to the sun, just rain. The boards will be spaced 1/8 of an inch apart, how would I go about putting the stuff on the sides of the board, or under? Any suggestions? Ideally I would put the protectant on all sides prior to building the deck, but that is not possible.
Normally just the surface is stained/sealed
If there is enough space to get a brush in between the decking, then the sides might be "hit" with stain/sealer
Usually the underside is not
Occasionally a customer will want the underside done, but not often
Your idea of applying a sealer to all sides of the material prior to installation is not a bad idea. How far is your deck going to be off the ground? Will you be able to maintain a finish on the underside or not? If not, sealing before installation on all sides, and then sealing cuts and end grain will certainly improve the woods ability to stand up to the environment. The underside of the wood at any given times is around 2% more moist than the tops.
Even if you won't be able to maintain a finish on the underside, sealing it all won't hurt. However, make SURE to use a penetrating oil finish after properly cleaning the wood, and allowing it to dry thoroughly. Typically on new wood we will clean it, use a brightener to bring the woods natural color out, and give the wood the proper ph for staining, allow dry time, then stain with a penetrating oil stain.
To stain all sides, lay out some saw horses or blocks to hold the boards off the ground, spray and backbrush the stain on, wait 1 hour, flip and repeat.
I could write a book, but I hope that helps.

Yah I was thinking about that yesterday. I'd love to. Next time we both go, set me up.
Yah your 5th gear pull is getting you a 17.4. I specifically looked down at the guage during that gear and I never saw much over .12 MPa or 16 psi. Could our ecus be that different or maybe it's your hacked snorkel?

/// HD Voice Will Start Coming to AT&T Later This Year
Among the announcements that T-Mobile made last month was its plan to deploy improved voice calling starting with the arrival of its iPhone 5 later this month. The technology, known as HD Voice, requires support from both the network and the devices on each end of the call. Speaking on Monday, AT&T senior VP Kris Rinne said that the carrier will roll-out its own support for the technology later this year as it begins to route voice calling over its LTE network. "HD Voice is part of our voice over LTE strategy," Rinne said, speaking at th VentureBeat Mobile Summit in Sausalito, Calif. Sprint has also talked about its plans for HD Voice. Voice quality, of course, has been a sore spot for AT&T in recent years, though Rinne insists that past issues with dropped calls and other issues are largely over. "I think we've taken that off the table in terms of a competitive challenge," Rinne said

text: Prevent the Registry from Rendering Your System Inoperable How to prevent the registry from rendering your system inoperable. Warning: This tip is only for the most advanced users. Tweaking the Registry is very risky. Always back up the Registry before you make any changes. Registry Checker keeps several back ups of your Registry in the hidden SysBckup folder (in the Windows folder). They're named RB000.CAB, RB001.CAB, and so on. When Registry Checker adds a new backup, it discards the oldest; when a problem needs repair, Registry Checker restores the newest backup. On your system, one of those CAB files is erroneously marked with a date/time stamp that's in the future, though it was probably recorded long ago. That file never gets discarded, because the other files are marked as older. When Registry Checker restores the incorrectly marked CAB file, your Registry is zapped back in time. Any more recently installed programs won't work. To prevent this, identify and delete the RBXXX.CAB file that has a spurious future date. Then, launch the newest of the remaining backup files to restore a correct, current copy of the Registry.

More from Tara W.
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
See Nikon's beginner-friendly D3000 in action. Julie and Tara demo some of its coolest features in this short video.
Video Transcript
Tara: This is Nikon's D3000, and it's a great first SLR camera for people because it's really easy to use, and it's really small and light compared to other SLRs.
Julie: And like any SLR it responds pretty much instantly to the push of the shutter button. And it also has the technology to let you take more professional looking photos. For example, if you're snapping a portrait of someone, they will be in focus but the background can be blurred.
Tara: What makes the D3000 different is that it's built to ease you into SLR shooting. It has a guide mode that asks you how you want a picture to look and then tells you how to accomplish that.
Julie: That's really nice because nobody wants to walk around with the owner's manual in their hand all the time. But it is important to remember that this camera is not just for beginners. It's also packed with everything an experienced user would need.
Tara: This camera gives you fully automatic and fully manual shooting and along with eleven point auto-focus. It also has something called 3D Autofocus, and that's mainly found on Nikon's higher-end models. What it does is track your subject and keep them clearly in focus even if they're moving across the screen.
Julie: The D3000 also has a nice feature — a self cleaning sensor. And that along with a new air flow system helps keep the inside of the camera clear of dust and other particles. Now the Nikon D3000 can come as part of either a one lens kit or a two lens kit. Both kits include the 18-55mm vibration reduction lens which is the one you can see right here.
Tara: The two lens kit has the 55-200mm vibration reduction lens, and that's going to get you a lot closer to your subject.
Julie: You can learn more online about either kit at crutchfield.com, or you can always call us.

DONGLU, CHINA – Police surrounded a Chinese village on Sunday to prevent pilgrims from joining a Catholic parade to honor the Virgin Mary, who locals say appeared in the village a century ago.
Authorities placed roadblocks on main roads leading to the small village of Donglu, in Heibei Province, where locals — an estimated 90 percent of whom are Catholic — are fiercely devoted to Mary.
"Police don't let any outsiders into the village during May . . . it's been like that for years," a local believer who identified herself as Maria said, standing by the towering spires of a church which dominates the village's skyline.
Donglu's Catholics believe that the Virgin Mary appeared in the sky above the village in 1900, terrifying attackers from the anti-foreign Boxer uprising, which also targeted Catholics, into an awestruck retreat.
"More than 100 years ago, everyone felt the power of Mary to protect the village, and each generation has passed on the story," Maria said.
A police lockdown lasting for the entire month of May, when celebrations dedicated to Mary reach their peak, was established in the 1990s, after tens of thousands of pilgrims from China and abroad gathered in the village, locals say.
Reporters — who entered the village through tiny back lanes, before being briefly detained and escorted out by local police — saw officers sitting in blue tents erected as checkpoints on access roads.
Red banners calling on locals to "Carry out religious activities in a lawful and orderly manner" flapped in the breeze.
But celebrations dedicated to Mary continued despite the restrictions. Around 200 Catholics, including young children, gathered outside the village church on Sunday to prepare for a parade.
Locals waved bright red flags while women in yellow silk dresses decorated with crosses climbed aboard a pickup truck loaded with red drums, and two men held a large picture of Mary and Jesus in front of the crowd.
"The authorities are afraid that we will cause trouble, but the vast majority of Catholics would never cause trouble," an 81-year-old local surnamed La said.

Report: Hernandez-Garbatt
Ringside by Gerardo Martinez
"A Fight for the Cure" might've had an honorable mission – to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer, by way of the Susan G. Komen Foundation – but a championship fight and three former Holly Holm opponents for New Mexico's first all-female fight card could do no better than a meager crowd of 500.
The card, promoted by yet another former Holm foe, Stephanie Jaramillo, and her Golden Girl Promotions, headlined a 130-pound championship fight for a handful of belts that ended with a controversial draw between Melissa "Huracan" Hernandez and "Lethal" Lindsay Garbatt.
Hernandez was the slicker boxer and animated; Garbatt, the more effective and reserved.
"Tah, tah, tah" was heard coming out of the always-animated Hernandez, every time she threw a punch at the Canadian who beat her earlier in the year. Many of her punches landed in the first couple rounds. Unfortunately, Garbatt was also landing.
Hernandez came out more aggressive in the third, going after her taller and stockier opponent. The fourth and fifth rounds were hard to score. Both women were exchanging leather and finding their mark.
Garbatt took over with her aggression in the sixth and seventh rounds, connecting with shots while Hernandez threw wide. Hernandez turned it on in the last few seconds of each of those rounds to try and steal them, to no avail.
After some pleading from her corner, Hernandez came out swinging in the eighth – but swinging too low, for she was warned by Referee Tony Rosales.
Garbatt came back in the ninth and tenth, landing hard rights to the face. The two women exchanged in the center of the ring to end the fight.
Turns out neither woman came out as a champion last night as the judges scored the fight a draw with scores of 95-95 twice and 98-92, Hernandez. That decision came after more than ten minutes of discussion between judges and everyone else inside the ring.
NewMexicoBoxing/Fightnews scored it for Garbatt, 96-94.
"I believe one day she's gonna be one hell of a champion . . . just not on my ribs" said Hernandez in a post fight interview.
"Heck yeah, I'm ready for the trilogy" said Garbatt.
There will have to be a trilogy between these two world class fighters so that one of them may actually take home the belts in contention (GBU, WIBA and WBAN 130 pound titles).
Hernandez moves to 13-2-3, 4 KOs and Garbatt, 5-3-1, 3 KOs.
St. John finishes with finished fighter
Fighting at 135 in the last bout of her 13 year career was 43 year-old Oxnard, CA native Mia St. John (46-11-2, 18 KOs), who was given an opponent who'd lost ten straight bouts in San Antonio's Tammy Franks (2-12-1).
Though she did not look good winning, St. John had little trouble with the virtual punching bag.
Neither woman threw or landed much in the first two rounds. St. John began landing one punch combos in the third. Combinations were lacking throughout the next three rounds as both women seemed content to dance around the ring and throw an occasional punch.
Looking like she wanted to finish her career with a KO, St. John came out in the last round trying for a one punch bomb. She was able to land a few hard overhand rights to the head of Franks, but only one seemed to daze her opponent. Both fighters exchanged in the center of the ring to end the contest.
"Everyone's tough at this point for me" said St. John who ended her career with unanimous decision win over Franks with scores of 60-54 times three.
Laracuente gets soft foe
In the undercard at 135 lbs, former Holly Holm foe and Hernandez stablemate Belinda Laracuente (25-25-3, 9 KOs) took care of her inexperienced Billings, Montana opponent DJ "So Fly" Morrison (2-6).
Although she was the quicker and more skilled combatant, Laracuente seemed unwilling to throw punches in the first two rounds. Morrison took advantage and tried to land against the slick New Yorker. Laracuente stepped it up after that and was able to land the harder punches through the next few rounds. Most of those punches were overhand and straight rights.
Morrison was deducted a point for holding in the fourth and was also stunned. Laracuente looked like she ran out of gas in the last round, while Morrison just kept coming forward, landing what she could. After six, the judges scored the fight 60-54 times three for Laracuente.
Gonzales wins debut in mismatch
Making her debut at 135 lbs by KO'ing the inexperienced and also debuting Stephanie Maestas (0-1) was Moriarty's Brenda Gonzales (1-0, 1 KO). Gonzales looked like the more skilled fighter and, as soon as the bell rang, she threw clear and crisp punches at the backward-moving Maestas.
Lacking movement and skill, Maestas was catching all of Gonzales' punches with her face. After being backed up close to one of the corners, Maestas body could take no more and her legs buckled and bent from the onslaught of punches coming from Gonzales. She was unable to get back and the fight was waved off at 1:23 of the first.
Roy gets Lucky in debut
In the opening bout of the evening at 118 llbs., Alyx Luck (0-2) was quickly taken apart by debuting Santa Fean Natalie Roy (1-0, 1 KO) at 1:10 of the first round.
Luck came into the ring sporting a knee brace and after getting cornered and pummeled by the oncoming Roy her knee seemed to have given way and she was unable to get back up. Referee Tony Rosales ended the bout soon after.

Before he ever set foot on campus, William DeVane had always heard that he was the ideal man to coach Clarke Central.
For the past two years, the rumor mills and coaching gossip always had him pegged as the ''next head coach of Clarke Central,'' though he admitted he had never even spoken to anyone at the school.
Earlier this month, DeVane finally got around to visit the school, and that one trip made him a believer as well. On Tuesday night, the Gladiators tabbed DeVane as head coach during a special called meeting of the Clarke County Board of Education.
''The opportunity to go to Clarke Central was real appealing,'' DeVane said. ''Back in the fall, everybody said I was going there and I hadn't even gotten the chance to go to the campus. When I did, I started to like what I saw. This is a huge opportunity for me and it's a big, big challenge that I'm excited about.''
DeVane becomes the first black head coach in the history of Clarke Central, and replaces Jon Ward who served one year as interim head coach following Steve Brooks' resignation in the spring. He is the fifth head coach in school history.
The Clarke Central job is one of the more prestigious jobs in the Georgia high school ranks and DeVane said the chance to add his name to the Gladiators' football tradition was too appealing to pass up.
''It wasn't an easy choice for me, but the opportunity to coach one of the top programs in the state doesn't come around a lot,'' he said. ''When you head up programs like Clarke Central and Valdosta, then you tend to stay a while.''
DeVane has been one of the top young coaching prospects for quite some time. He was Hart County's top assistant coach for years under Bobby Pate, before reeling off three undefeated regular seasons as head coach of the Bulldogs after Pate's retirement in 1998.
''He's exactly what Clarke Central needs at this point,'' Hart County head Gregg Segraves said of DeVane. ''He can get the kids out and get the program going in the right direction.''
DeVane struggled through a 1-8-1 record at Greene County in 2001, but was forced to play several inexperienced freshman and sophomores. The Tigers also lost their best player -- quarterback Carlos Thornton -- to a season-ending injury early in the year.
With Thornton at the team's helm in the season opener, DeVane helped to engineer a 7-7 tie with Harlem, a Class AAA playoff team.
On Tuesday, DeVane stressed he wasn't abandoning the Greene County program.
''I want the people (of Greene County) to understand the reasoning I took to take the Clarke Central job,'' he said. ''It's not to downplay or get out of Greensboro. I was very happy here and the people have treated me and my family great. I was looking forward to spending a few years here and getting this program going.''
DeVane said he is planning to come to Clarke Central within the week to meet with the team, and that he is eager to get started as the school's head coach.
He will finish out this year with Greene County, but will oversee Clarke Central's spring football practice as well as summer workouts. His contract with Clarke Central officially begins in August.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
The Patriots will limp into the playoffs next weekend, after losing not only Sunday's game to the Texans, but also losing their Pro Bowl receiver, Wes Welker. As you all know by now, Welker was lost on just the third offensive play of the game, as his left knee buckled in the Reliant Stadium turf. While not officially confirmed, several reports indicate Welker tore both his ACL and MCL, which generally requires anywhere between 6 and 12 months of rehabilitation. So the loss on the scoreboard Sunday surely pales in comparison to the loss the team sustained in the opening minutes of the game.
And so now, the team will forge on without their "Little Engine That Could." Tom Brady and the Patriots offense will turn their hopes to rookie quarterback-turned-receiver Julian Edelman to fill Welker's role in the slot receiver spot. He did the job on Sunday, but can he do the job in the playoffs, well enough to key the four-game win streak needed for Super Bowl glory? Time will tell… it absolutely won't be easy.
But before we turn our attention to the upcoming bout with Ray Lewis and the Ravens on Sunday afternoon, let's first shine the light on a trio of Pats players who did have a quality day in the Lonestar State.
With the blink of an eye, the Pats' rookie receiver's importance multiplied after Wes Welker went down with the knee injury heard 'round the world. On Sunday against Houston, Edelman rose to the occasion, leading the team with 10 receptions and 103 yards, both career highs. Looking towards next week, Baltimore will likely keep their top cornerback locked on Randy Moss, with safety help over the top as well, so hopefully Edelman can be productive enough over the middle to make the Ravens pay attention to him as well, freeing up Moss for at least a handful of deep balls downfield. Welker was clearly what kept the offensive machine plugged in, and now that role falls to Edelman. If Sunday's performance was any indication as to how he'll fare, things are looking up.
Another rookie here in the "PATS on the Back" column, and honestly, I really thought Butler would have made this piece weeks before this. Butler, the former UConn standout, came to the Pats from the '09 draft with high acclaim. Sunday, he helped stall a Houston drive in the third quarter with his third interception of the year, followed by a 91-yard romp to the end zone, breaking the 13-13 tie and giving New England a lead they would eventually relinquish later. It was the biggest play of the game for the Pats, but unfortunately it wasn't enough for the W. Butler has improved week after week here in his rookie campaign, and the Patriots will need the young defensive back to continue his development as the games wage on, this year and in the following years to come.
If it weren't for Fred Taylor's fumble that resulted in a second quarter Texans touchdown, I probably would have given the third nod to the veteran back, with his two touchdowns on the day. However, because of that gaff, I turn to kicker Stephen Gostkowski. Gostkowski made all three extra points on the day, which is of course not all that impressive. But while Houston's Kris Brown was missing extra points and field goals all game long, Gostkowski added two lengthy field goals in the second quarter, of 51 and 43 yards, keeping the Pats in the game as long as he could. Gostkowski is a free agent this upcoming off-season, leaving Bill Belichick and personnel director Nick Caserio with a big decision to make. They let All-Pro kicker Adam Vinatieri fly the coop four years ago…will they do the same with Gostkowski?

-Forged rods proven to over 600 hp
-Mahle pistons capable of 300 hp reliably
-Stephane Beauregard ran 8.9 in the pro fwd class on the single cam 8v head
-you can do a hybrid head setup from a neon 2.0 and make 325hp to the wheels with 15 lbs boost and a 3 inch exhaust... everything else totally stock.
My dad daily drives an 85 dodge omni with a 2.5 single cam motor that puts 394 hp, 423tq to the wheels at 25lbs of boost, and runs 11.3 on the 1/4 mile with tons of wheel spin because he refuses to go with a bigger slick so he can keep the big brakes. Oh, and it has full interior, a/c, and cruise control. To smog it, he puts the cat back on, and it smogs like a new car... usually at about 5%-10% of the allowable emissions.
All of the work except for boring the block .020 over, and regrinding the rod ends for bigger pins, is dont by him. Tuning, porting, valve seat grinding... he even rebuilds his own turbo, which is a $100 ebay turbo that he machined and put garrett internals into. The factory computer is fully programmable if you socket the eprom on the board. Feel free to come by the house any time, and we'll give you a ride in it. I'ts a hoot.
Oh, and it has had easily 200 passes on it since last rebuild.. maybe more...
I can re-drill the hubs and rotors/drums on your mk1 or mk2 focus to accept 5x108 or 4x100 wheels for only $120!!!
