Delta Waterfowl joins forces with Mississippi State and Delta Regional Duck Calling Contest dates announced - Jackson, Mississippi - May 15th (Posted May 16, 2007)
Two of the regions top duck-calling contests have announced their dates and schedule of events.
The Delta Regional Duck Calling Contest and Mississippi State Duck Calling Contest will be held on Saturday, August 4th, at the Trademart on the Mississippi State Fairgrounds in Jackson.

This year marks Delta Waterfowl's first association with the day-long event, joining Mossy Oak and Mean Mallard as primary event sponsors. "This is a great way to illustrate Delta's commitment to the future of waterfowl and celebrate the upcoming hunting season," says Bryan King, Delta Waterfowl's Regional Director.
In addition to the sanctioned events, the day's competitions will include a youth- calling contest (10 a.m.) followed by a team duck-calling competition. The Delta Regional contest kicks off at 1 p.m., and the Mississippi State contest rounds out the day.
Registration for all events begins at 9:00 AM.
"These contests have emerged as some of the most competitive events of their kind in the U.S.," says Larry Simons, Delta Waterfowl member and contests Chairman. "We have developed a proud tradition of conducting first-rate contests and sending competitive callers to Stuttgart, while providing a fun event for waterfowlers and their families. We know this year's event will generate the same excitement and enthusiasm as before with 3 World Champion Callers on our judge panel, including the reigning world champion, Jim Ronquest."

The brand is a winner (Times) The Tories think that the job of changing their party's image is complete, says Daniel Finkelstein. It isn't -- they must continue to reinforce their new brand. Complacency could be fatal. 2. The Innocent smoothies of politics are still the party of the rich (Guardian) Jonathan Freedland agrees that the Conservative Party rebranding was an early success. But, he says, the Michael Ashcroft tax scandal plays into the public's expectations of the party -- the new Tory brand can't survive many more ugly revelations. 3. Charisma can only go so far for Cameron (Financial Times) All the charisma in the world can't sort out the contradictions in the new Conservative message, says Matthew Engel. At the end of the day, politics is about beef as well as beefcake. 4. An appeal to the better nature of the baby boomers -- and Boris Johnson (Daily Telegraph) The Tory front-bencher David Willetts responds to the Mayor of London's column in Monday's Telegraph, which challenged the argument of his new book. Willetts reaffirms that the contract between the generations is broken. 5. Belfast: this deal is a big deal (Guardian) Devolution completes the Northern Irish jigsaw, but, says Denis Murray, in two years no one will remember that it was an issue. The DUP's main problem now is the formation of an ultra-traditionalist party that will split the unionist vote three ways. 6. Don't write off the US economy (Independent) China and India may be growing much faster, says Hamish McRae, but in technical innovation there's no contest: the rest of the world looks to the United States for innovation. 7. Where have all the female firebrands gone? (Times) In 1997 a record number of women MPs got into parliament, says Suzy Jagger. But their biggest achievement was getting elected -- women are not making heavyweight policy on the front benches, or causing trouble from the back benches. 8. Straw has left justice to the tender mercies of the press (Guardian) The chief enemy of British freedom today is the British press, according to Simon Jenkins. Under the banner of transparency, ministers have allowed a frenzy of blame to develop around the Jon Venables case. This is a decline from the rule of law back towards the lynch mob. 9. Europe must confront its real economic problems (Independent) Blaming speculators for the eurozone's woes is a displacement activity, says the leading article. Europe needs fundamental reforms to its labour markets and a big shift in internal demand. 10. Rob rich bankers and give money to the poor (Times) Jeffrey Sachs makes the case for a Robin Hood tax on financial transactions; after all, Wall Street and the City did so little to deserve their record profits.

In short, the IWSA have kept me going these last 16 months since my son was born. The knowledge, the experience, the support are all invaluable. Lost without them.
The IWSA has helped me to have some really good experiences, I've learned a ton and made a lot of new friends. It has helped me to be healthier with medical information about my condition.
IWSA is a fantastic organisation, which has helped support families including my own with information, knowledge support and understanding of such a rare syndrome such as WAGR.
I've been involved with the IWSA for the past nine years and have no idea where I would have been without the support, information, and guidance of other families with loved ones with the same rare disease/syndrome. My daughter was not diagnosed WAGR/11p deletion until she was 11 years old and once I met this group it was instantly obvious that I would never be alone again in our journey. I have chosen to serve on the Board and as Board chair and have received so much more from IWSA families than I will ever be able to give. This organization is dedicated to supporting WAGR families and has been very proactive in spreading awareness, supporting families around the world, and educating doctors, teachers, family and friends. As a very small organization representing an ultra rare disease, the IWSA is making huge strides into promoting research and reaching out to help improve the lives of individuals with WAGR/11p deletion syndrome. I have checked my role as Board Member but I am also a donor and parent to an individual born with this rare condition.
This charity has helped us so much since our son was diagnosed with wagr syndrome. Without it we would be lost in a sea of unknown terms & symptoms. We would feel so alone
The iwsa has helped my family in more ways than I ever will be able to put into words. They are our lifeline.
IWSA is a really wonderful group. They support me by giving many usuful knowledge and mentally. I can't imagine how I go through this tough road without IWSA now.
IWSA has been a great help to my family. They are a wealth of knowledge and support!
The IWSA has become a lifeline for my husband and I. Our daughter is almost 15 yrs old and we have been involved with IWSA for 5 yrs. The welcoming of this group is beyond a feeling I've ever experienced. We have learned more in the last 5 yrs from our annual gatherings with IWSA families
than we did in the first 10 yrs from the many doctor appts. I'm always impressed with the amount of support each question receives when posted in our Facebook group. We can ask anything and someone will have either experience to offer suggestions or point us in a direction to find help. It's always a bittersweet when I see a new family log into our Facebook group. I'm so happy they found us and my heart aches for their fears regarding their child's future. This group has given me hope for the future, a feeling of acceptance and understanding you can't find outside this group. We have some amazing parents that started IWSA and we are so thankful for the parents that keep stepping up to the Board of Directors to continue to build our closely bonded families.
Written with so much love for the IWSA
The Carlson Family
This organization has given me so much support and hope over the rollarcoaster of this past year since my son was diagnosed.

But his blunder was replicated by Chesterfield's Barry Roche who spilled Jeff Smith's corner and George Pilkington headed Vale level.
Pilkington, who had not scored in 30 months, followed up Leon Constantine's header to make it 2-1 and Michael Cummings sealed the win late on.

The Grand Scheme: s/v Symphony: Back in the USA! @ Sail Blogs
We are back on the mainland. We arrived here at about 1500 and tied up at Scorpion's New Port Marina, cleared in with Customs, and went out to dinner. We're all tired, but not completely thrashed and we'll be starting our return northwards rather rapidly. Since we didn't go all the way to Charleston, it will probably take us a week to cover what two days of sailing would have done but, given the forecast timing, equipment failures, and personal comfort, it was the right choice for us. One of the fun things about our passage is that Leslie has discovered that she likes being a lookout and keeping watch (She's good at spying small boats on the horizon, too!). Overall, it was a very enjoyable passage on beautiful water in mild conditions. We ended up motorsailing almost the whole way because of light winds so it was noisier than we like, but this way we got to have the fun of refueling at sea! Direct Link

A new egg will be hatching soon in the Ravenna neighborhood. We are moving into the old "Pied Piper Pub" space near 25th Avenue NE & NE 65th Street. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting new people!
One response to "Coming Soon(er)!"
You guys are going to DEMOLITION the competition in the neighborhood! It's going to be AMAZING to have a really great breakfast place.
I've been at the Northgate restaurant several times and love it. And this is going to be such a huge improvement over the Varsity and Bryant Cafe!

Wonder if you could measure the signal strength with an RF meter to determine which sensor has the weak battery. Anywho, yours is at the 5 year limit so probably best to change all of them anyway.

besides, i'm fairly certain that it's not low RF signal that triggers the warning. Rather, the sensors monitor the battery voltage and at certain level transmit a "code" to the system..
Since flash9 recently replaced the tires it makes little sense to wait to see how long the batteries will last.. (although, on some TPMS you may have up to 18 months before they start to drop out)
RE: battery life
obviously the more hours the van is driven, the more use batteries will be subjected to. that said, lithium batteries can (theoretically) last over 10 years - primarily depending on the "quality" (purity) of the materials used.. and secondly on the capacity / current draw...
*if mopar (or whoever designed for them) wanted these things to last, they would put a small generator into the sensor (it could easily recharge a small LiION battery or even a capacitor and last far longer)
but there's no profit in that..
Seems to me they could have put one of those things in the sensors like some watches have... you know the kind that charges themselves with movement... plenty of movement in a spinning wheel...

If it makes you feel any better I have the same problem with my 2002 and it went away when the weather became warmer.
Once it starts up again once it gets cold I will replace all the wheel sensors and see if it corrects the problem.
But it is still warm enough that it has not dropped the battery voltage in the sensors yet.

I ordered the Pressure Sensor Monitors for all four tires today from a local O'Reilly Auto Parts store. They estimate it will take a week to get them in-stock.
I will update again in 7-10 days once I get the parts and have them installed.
Purchased four of the Dorman Part Number 974-028 Tire Pressure Sensors on Friday.
Last night on my way home from work I took the van back to the small tire shop, and we proceeded to replace all four valve stem / tire sensors on the vehicle. The instructions say to wait 20 minutes after pressurizing the tires. After starting the van, I drove home, which is just a couple miles away. At first I was still getting the Service Tire System Soon, message as well as 3 Tire(s) have Low Pressure message. About half way home the Service Tire System Soon, message went away, but the 3 Tire(s) have Low Pressure message stayed lit. When I got home I inflated all four tires to 38 PSI. The 3 Tire(s) have Low Pressure message proceeded to stay on for about another 10 minutes of driving (I was getting concerned) and then the display finally went back to compass and exterior temperature!
Total cost $140 Parts, $40 Labor, Total $180.
Not cheep, but a lot less then the dealership wanted to do the work.
I hope this information will help others in the future.
Great info flash9 and MoparChickie!
Now I know my 09 DGC's TPMS sensor batteries are only good for 5 years....so in 2014....

"Neither would I!" - Ferris Bueller
I am betting in the next couple of weeks once it cools off ours will start setting service soon again and I will do as you did and replace the sensors. I am betting though that I will be able to put the sensors in myself by lower an object along the side of the tire to break the bead off and replace sensor and refill tire.

After working at it for a few minutes, the mechanic said, the he11 with this, and went ahead and used the tire mounting machine, and separated one side of the tire from the rim. This made it a lot easier to mount the tire pressure sensor per the instructions.
I guess if you try this and it does not work, you can always call some tire shops to see what they would charge. For me, the $40 was money well spent.
It will be a try and see thing for sure. Glad you got yours taken care of. Did you relearn the sensors with the magnet?

I think Lewis Wilson fought him at the UCMMA contenders show in Dundee
Ridux lost by KO in the opening minute
think Baxter v Riddux should happen to show just who is Scotland's biggest Loser!!
Il fight this prick for his space on the island
You guys are always up for slaging these guys but the top prize is $500 thousand dollars like. Julez from Dundee needs more votes and he's the real deal as non of use in Scotlands got the balls to fight him he is having to fight in England. He has got a Title fight coming up at Ucmma event and deserves evry Scots mans votes as he can represent us on the island and unlike this fat baw bag he can win like.
I assume use are trolling pal?
So it gets more eyeballs - this is all win.
I just think he should get some support from MMA fighters up here in Scotland. He can truly represent us not the other idiot. He has no skills. Julez's is a utter pitbull when he's fighting so should get our support. Alex Reid is supporting and he no's.
Julez has only won 1 fight .......we offered him a fight at colosseum 5 against a 1st timer which he never got back to us .....chopper was ment to fight on colosseum as well but pulled out on the week running up to show ........they dont have a chance of winning but i'v been voting for julez ,,, just to see him on the show ......so just like his video .....even just for a laugh

Continuous release mode is often thought only to be useful when shooting dynamic subjects that are in motion. A rapid burst of frames can help when you are looking for just the right moment in a fast sequence of events. There is a SF 49er game on right now as I type this. You can be certain that all those shooters on the sidelines have their cameras cranked to the highest continuous release mode they can, 10 -12 frames per second. Makes sense for them, but there is another, often forgotten or maybe unthought of use for continuous release mode.
Often the sharpest image, in a burst of frames is not the first or last image. This is because regardless of how softly you think you've pressed and released the shutter, there's always some inherent motion induced that isn't there when you're just holding the shutter release down. That motion, ever so slight can ruin your fine image if you are shooting slow shutter speeds without a tripod or other type of support. Shooting in bursts of three or more counteracts the motion of pushing and releasing the shutter release. So often times, you'll find your sharpest images are somewhere in the middle of your burst, not the first or last frame.
A short burst of frames, coupled with a good solid shooting stance (one foot ahead of the other, hips centered, elbows tucked to your sides) and image stabilization can be used to create amazingly sharp images of a static subject. Look at my image above. Shot with a 9 pound hand held Canon 1DX and 400mm 2.8 lens at 1/60th of a second. Only frame #2 was sharp – six others showed motion blur.
So next time you're out shooting, and don't have a tripod, give continuous release mode a try. The worst you can do is not get the shot, however you may be pleasantly surprised when you find one or two sharp keepers!
Btw, combining continuous release mode with back button focusing is the way to go, but more on that in another post…I've got a game to watch!

Suspect in killing of Va. Muslim teen had been accused of assaulting...
Darwin Martinez Torres, 22, of Sterling, has been charged with murder in the death of Nabra Hassanen, 17. A week before Darwin Martinez Torres was arrested for allegedly abducting and killing a Muslim teenager near a Virginia mosque, a woman arrived at a hospital emergency room and reported that a man - later identified as Martinez Torres - had punched, choked and sexually assaulted her and was a member of the MS-13 street gang, according to two people familiar with the woman's account. The acts allegedly occurred in the presence of a young child, which prompted a call to Loudoun County's Child Protective Services agency, which in turn filed a report with the county sheriff, the two people said.

Boy, this brings back memories. When I was a kid this is pretty much how things were, with a few slight modifications/additions.
When I turned ten, Dad gave me the Remington bolt-action .22 he used to clear pot-gut squirrels off the fence line in the back forty during the depression. For the first two years I owned the .22, it lived in my bedroom closet, along with the BB guns that preceded it. After that, it lived in a gun rack on my bedroom wall along with the M1 carbine that we got from the NRA and a sporterized Enfield 30-06 that Dad built for me. Ammo for all of these lived in the drawer built into the bottom of the gun rack. It never occurred to either Dad or me that there was anything unusual or unsafe about this, because it was a pretty common practice at that time and in that place.
When I was in high school, we made scale-model cannons in machine shop class, made re-curve hunting bows in carpentry class and carried knives in our pockets on school grounds on a daily basis. We test fired the cannons and bows out behind the shop building when they were finished, just to make sure they really worked.
When my older son was in his early teens, he joined the local small-bore rifle club that shot once a week on the indoor range that was built into the basement of the local high school. Once upon a time, every high school that was built using federal funds was required to have an indoor range in the building in order to provide shooting facilities for local ROTC programs. So, each week there were a dozen or so adolescent kids milling around in the high school basement, each in position of a fully functional firearm and live ammunition.
Nobody was hurt by any of this, and there weren't any school shootings back then, either.

Challenging Starting Problem!
So i have a problem with my 318is starting, it all began about 3 weeks ago when i went to leave work, as i turned the key the engine was cracking but no start, i recharged the battery and repeated about 4-5 times. No luck.
The next day i recharged the battery ( cranked it alot of times), disconnected the fuel pump leads and measured the voltage (it was about 0.9 ). To my surprise the car started without the fuel pump connected, running on whatever was left in the lines. Great!
About a week later, again, i went to start the car. Cranking but no start. Disconnected the fuel pump leads again, measured it but no start so i connected it all back up. Left it for awhile and charged up the battery ( cranked it alot of times). Then on the final crank pumped the Gas as i cranked it, and it eventually started. Awesome!
A few days later i went to the doc's for about 15 minutes, i came out and it would not start again. Crank, but no start. This time we tried jumper leads, crank but no start.
Now this is where it gets interesting.
After many attempts over 2 days (had to leave it there over night, couldnt find tow hook) to start the car by jumper leads. I had to tow it home (5 min drive). As we went down a steep hill, i put the car in 2nd gear to engine break. As smoothly as i slowly released the clutch, the engine smoothly started running. Now at this point im back to square one, i can start it drive around and start it again.
The problem is, its inevitable that it will happen again.
I've been a long time lurker of these forums and thought id post this here to see if anyone has any ideas? At this point i have absolutely no clue.
Thanks in advance.:cry:
well, i doubt that it's related to the fuel pump.
you could be missing spark, which would be my guess.
i would check the crank sensor first.

Some people will find it helpful – Chrome and Opera already offer a similar feature. However, others may have one of the following issues:
- Invasion of privacy – you may not want your most frequently visited pages displayed whenever you open a new tab, especially if you share a computer.
- Speed of page display – you may be concerned that displaying up to 9 thumbnails might slow down the New Tab page load speed (to be fair I don't think that it does to any appreciable extent).
- Choice – you may prefer a New Tab to open a different page e.g. a blank page or a specific website like Google.
An example of the new Firefox New Tab page is shown below:
If you would like to change this default New Tab behavior in Firefox, here are 3 possible alternatives to choose from.
1. Hide the thumbnails
- Click on the square icon (consisting of 9 little grey squares) at the top right of the New Tab page – this hides the thumbnail pictures and your choice is remembered even after you restart Firefox.
- Note that the square icon remains displayed – if you click it again the thumbnail pictures will reappear on this (and all subsequent) New Tab pages.
[Geek's corner – clicking the icon changes the 'browser.newtabpage.enabled' preference in about:config to True (default) or False]
2. Hide the thumbnails and the square icon = Blank Page
You can do this by setting the New Tab page to just open a blank page instead:
- Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
- Click the "I'll be careful I Promise" warning button (if it appears) – a long list of preferences used in Firefox is displayed.
Tip: You can scroll down the list of preferences but the quickest way to find the right one is to type part of the preference name into the Filter bar at the top of the config page e.g. type newtab to narrow down the list to only display preferences containing that text.
- Double click the browser.newtab.url entry and change the String Value text to about:blank (default is about:newtab).
- Close Firefox and reopen it – now, whenever you open a new tab it should just display a blank page.
3. Change New Tab to open at a website of your choice
If you want a New Tab to always open a specific website e.g. Google:
- Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
- Click the "I'll be careful I Promise" warning button (if it appears) – a long list of preferences used in Firefox is displayed.
Tip: You can scroll down the list of preferences but the quickest way to find the right one is to type part of the preference name into the Filter bar at the top of the config page e.g. type newtab to narrow down the list to only display preferences containing that text.
- Double click the browser.newtab.url entry and change the String Value text to your chosen website address (URL) e.g. www.google.com (default is about:newtab).
- Close Firefox and reopen it – now, whenever you open a New Tab it should display your chosen website.
Privacy Warning
The three methods above change the default behavior of the New Tab page which appears when you click on the 'Open a New Tab' + icon. However, they do not delete the thumbnails from the actual New Tab page itself – so anyone browsing directly to about:newtab will still see the thumbnails displayed (or be able to display them by clicking the square icon).
To delete the thumbnails completely you must clear your browsing history – this also clears the list of your most frequently visited sites (and therefore the thumbnails too):
- 1. Manually – via Firefox Menu \ History \ Clear Recent History. Note that the thumbnails will start rebuilding again as you visit more sites.
- 2. Automatically – via Firefox Menu \ Options \ Privacy \ Clear history when Firefox closes (in the History section). This will erase the existing thumbnails whenever you close Firefox
Ccleaner (and similar) tools can also be used to clear the Firefox History.
56 Responses to "How To Change The New Tab Behavior In Firefox 13"
Thank you very much ..!!!
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for the tips. Unfortunately, my problem has not been solved.
few weeks ago I downloaded a software and accidentally I accepted to download some toolbar. And of course there is no "uninstall" choice for that toolbar. Now I cannot get rid of it.
Moreover, which is even a bigger problem, every time I open a new tab, it opens on the website of that toolbar. my new bar stuck on that website. I lost my thumbnails, I lost even the choice of letting the new tab opens to a blank page.
I tried some of your suggestions above, but nothing is working.
I want my new tab to be opened on either my home page, or, blank page, or, the thumbnails.
Please help!
I experienced a similar situation, and the sequence from "open firefox, type in 'about:config'" worked perfectly. I changed the string value in 'browser.newpage.url' to the default, which is 'about:newtab', and had my thumbnails back when I opened a new tab. Thanks, post author!
Gotcha, fixed the problem. I wanted the default behaviour. This works, simples when you know where. 😉
Awesome post. Very helpful. I hated that annoying metro facial tick of Firefox. So happy to be rid of it. Many thanks!
This was so helpful thank you works like a charm, the next problem I am having is I accidentally shut off my thumbnail options, by clicking on the 9 square boxes top right of the screen, thinking it would let me in to arrange/edit my thumbnails, i shut them off the 9 boxes i used to turn it off are no longer there to turn it back on I have tried everything to retrieve the thumbnail option back on with no luck..
Thanks! That new tab behaviour was the reason I didn't like Chrome. The main reason I don't like it is that it's distracting, and causes me to forget for a second why I opened the new tab.
I still want to open a new tab with the same website that I'm currently viewing.
This is so that I can go further into the links without loosing the original website.
If I need my home page instead I just click on the home button.
This option used to be available in "NewTab URL" and I would like the option to still be available.
@Richard – to open a new tab with the same website, you could just duplicate it? [right click the tab and choose 'duplicate tab']
Or try this extension which you can set to open the current page in a new tab – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
The "Right click" option does not offer "Duplicate tab" (Firefox 23.0.1)
I already had "NewTabUr." installed but it didn't work.
However, reading the reviews I followed the instructions (below) from GGITech and it now works.
Before you Say it does not work Read! Here is how to fix it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars
by GGITech on July 9, 2013 · permalink
I have written this before below. Don't be an idiot and read 5 lines of text to fix your issue.
Howto: Fixing NewTabURL
by GGITech on September 23, 2012
Remove NewTabURL
If you have done any of the about:config / browser.newtaburl changes, then undo them.
browser.newtab.url – should be blank
browser.newtabpage.enabled – should be true
Add NewTabURL.
Now the Add-On works as expected, including the "URL from Clipboard"
@Richard – glad that addon sorted it for you 🙂
If you ever need to duplicate a tab "together with its history" (i.e. so you can go back to previous pages from it if required) you can do this by holding down the CTRL key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
Hi Roy,
I had been using the CTRL key and dragging option as a workaround. Although its only an extra key press its frustrating when I had what was a "perfect" system for me.
Back to normal now.
I think that the original author of NewTabUrl stopped supporting it a while ago.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Coming off a series win over No. 12 Arkansas and a midweek win over rival Louisville, the Kentucky baseball team hits the road, traveling to face tradition-rich LSU in a three-game set, with first pitch of game one on Thursday set for 7:30 p.m. ET at Alex Box Stadium. Game two on Friday is set for 8 p.m. ET and the finale on Saturday is slated for 2 p.m. ET.
The series marks Kentucky's first appearance on the inaugural ESPN Thursday Night SEC Game of the Week. The Thursday-night game will be televised live on ESPNU on Thursday, with Dave Neal and Kyle Peterson calling the action. The game on Friday will be televised by Cox Sports Television. All three games will be broadcast live on the Big Blue Sports Network, with the Voice of UK Baseball, Neil Price, calling the action. Fans in Lexington can hear the games live on WLAP 630-AM, in Louisville on WKJK 1080-AM and online at UKathletics.com.
Kentucky (20-22, 4-14 Southeastern Conference) is coming off a 7-1 win on Tuesday night over Big East power Louisville, with the win handing the Wildcats a series sweep over the Cardinals, the first sweep for either team since the 2006 season, the year UK claimed the SEC Championship. UK got a solid starting pitching performance from sophomore righty Jordan Cooper (3-1, 4.37 ERA), who hurled his fifth quality start of the year, allowing no earned runs in 6.2 frames.
During the weekend, UK battled rain and the red-hot No. 12 Razorbacks, picking up the first series win over Arkansas since the 2005 season, with UK falling a five-inning game shy of sweeping Arkansas for the first time in program history. UK posted a 3-2 win in the series opener, picking up a 3-1 win in the second game to clinch the series, before rain and the SEC travel curfew called the finale short in the bottom of the sixth inning with UK owning the game-tying run on deck in a 5-1 loss.
UK will turn to its weekend rotation of junior right-hander Alex Meyer on Thursday, freshman southpaw Corey Littrell on Friday and sophomore southpaw Taylor Rogers on Saturday. LSU will use right-hander Kurt McCune (5-3, 3.39 ERA) on Thursday, with 2011 sixth-round MLB Draft pick Kevin Gausman (2-5, 4.73 ERA) going on Friday and right-hander Ben Alsup (5-4, 3.93 ERA) set to start the finale.
A native of Greensburg, Ind., Meyer will be making his 11th weekend start of the year. The 6-foot-9, 220-pounder is the reigning SEC Pitcher of the Week after hurling his league-best third complete game of the year in a win over No. 12 Arkansas, striking out 10 and allowing only three hits. Meyer leads the SEC with 81 strikeouts in 71.2 innings, ranking second in the league in innings pitched. Meyer has allowed only 57 hits in his 71.2 innings, with opponents hitting .230 and only 10 of his 57 hits allowed going as extra-base knocks. Meyer has started two games against LSU in his career, including his first career SEC appearance at the new Alex Box Stadium in 2009. In that start, Meyer went five innings of a seven-inning game, allowing only two hits and three runs, walking five and striking out six in a hard-luck 3-1 loss, exiting to a standing ovation to the LSU patrons. In his start vs. LSU last year, Meyer lasted one inning, allowing two hits and four walks, striking out two. In his career, Meyer owns 224 strikeouts in 182.1 innings, ranking seventh in UK career history in punchouts. LSU will turn to McCune for the series opener, with the righty making his 11th start. In 63.2 innings, McCune has allowed only 46 hits and 19 walks, striking out 47, with opponents hitting a staggering .200 off the righty.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Littrell will be making his 10th start of the year on Friday. Littrell has tossed 52.2 innings, allowing only 18 walks and striking out 39. In his last start, Littrell turned in a great outing despite battling a nearly 19-hour rain delay in between his third and fourth innings of work. Littrell finished one out shy of his sixth quality start, going 5.2 innings and allowing only three hits and one run, walking two and striking out four against Arkansas. LSU will counter with Gausman, the prized recruit in college baseball in 2011 and a sixth-round pick out of high school. Gausman has started 10 games in 2011, owning 59 innings, 18 walks and 54 strikeouts.
A 6-3, 170-pound native of Littleton, Colo., Rogers has started 10 weekend games for UK in 2011, owning 59.1 innings and only 11 walks, striking out 41. Rogers is coming off a tough-luck loss vs. Arkansas in the five-inning contest, allowing five runs in six innings, striking out three. Rogers has made one career start vs. LSU, the Friday-night contest in 2010. Rogers went 3.1 innings, allowing 10 hits and nine runs, walking one and striking out three in a duel with Anthony Ranaudo. LSU will turn to Alsup for the start, the senior righty. Alsup has tossed 52.2 innings in 2011, allowing 56 hits and 20 walks, striking out 34.
The Wildcats have been led offensively by senior shortstop Taylor Black, who has hit .333 with 13 doubles, two triples, two homers and 28 RBI, stealing 10 bases. Braden Kapteyn has batted .331 with six homers and 39 RBI, while Chad Wright has hit .323 with 11 doubles, four homers and 28 RBI, stealing a team-best 14 bases. Freshman J.T. Riddle has played second and rightfield for UK, batting .315 with eight doubles, three homers, 23 RBI and six steals. Thomas McCarthy leads the SEC in doubles with 15, adding four homers and 23 RBI, batting .314 with eight steals. Centerfielder and scholarship wide receiver Brian Adams has hit .302 with eight doubles, two homers and 12 RBI, stealing eight bags. Adams just stared in the spring football game, catching a game-high seven balls for 121 yards and two touchdowns, before starting in centerfield vs. Arkansas immediately after the football game. UK's two-headed catching tandem, Luke Maile and Michael Williams has been good throughout the year, with Maile leading UK with seven homers, adding eight doubles and 28 RBI and Williams hitting .274 with nine doubles, four homers and 15 RBI.

UK was led by Ray at the plate in that game, as he belted two three-run homers in the contest.

Kapteyn closed out the game with two shutout inning, while Marcus Nidiffer led UK with three hits, with UK pounding out a total of 17 knocks in the contest.

Kapteyn contributed three hits in the game, including two doubles.
UK trails the all-time series with the Tigers, 23-39-1, including a 7-20-1 mark in games played in Baton Rouge. The Wildcats have won four of the last five meetings, snapping a losing streak of four consecutive games from 2008-09. UK's last series win over LSU in Baton Rouge came in 2007, when UK won two and tied the finale in a 9-9 contest.

I wish I WAS emmy Rossum. Ugh, she is so beautiful, great voice, she can sing in like 6 languages... Sigh. I have always wanted looser curls like hers. (well, not sure what hers is like naturally, but ya know)
I named my daughter (middle name) after India Arie. Her music speaks to my soul,its my happy music.
And I love Annalynne Mcwhatevers hair too. Im contwmplating if minewould turn out like that if I got layers in. I *think* we have similar texture, but mine is much more corck screwlike on the bottomlayer.
All bets off on finding the perfect products for the curls - focusing on regrowing (50%) hair loss due to
A) Depo Provera (injectable birth control)
B) seborrheic dermatitis
C) stress/diet

Has anyone ever suffered a grade 2 hamstring tear, and if so how long where they out of training for and what did you do to rehabilitate it, serious replies and advice would be appreciated thanks.
Has anyone ever suffered a grade 2 hamstring tear, and if so how long where they out of training for and what did you do to rehabilitate it, serious replies and advice would be appreciated thanks.
Hey Lee, sorry to hear you tore your hamstring.
The first part of rehab will be maintaining what range of movement you have with very gentle stretching and gentle mobility work that doesn't aggrevate your symptoms. This along with the use of ice/antinflammatories and a good diet should be your primary objective.
From about 4-6 weeks from your injury you should with the previous management having been done be able to increase the function, however do so with caution and gradually as the muscle repair will have shortened the muscle which effectively decreases its elasticity and with a lot of your activities being set in neural pathway sequences you may be likely to reinjure yourself if you are not aware of the speed at which you are doing a movement or even the range you are performing it at.
If possible you should spend some time doing slow dynamic balance exercises such as shallow lunges and anything that isn't aggressive to the injury. Regular stretching (more than normal) would also be recommended to attempt to lengthen. Massage also has its place to help break down scar tissue giving the muscle fibres a chance to realign.
End stage rehab will then have you returning to dynamic activites.
Hope this helps a little. All the best.
If you put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
Barracuda just a quick one. I tore mine about 3-4 years ago but didnt get it seen to just sort of let it heal itself used rice etc... its never been the same since, everytime I do aything even a little strenuous its very sore for about 4-5 days.
Is it possible after this long to use deep friction with any success or is the scar tissue too old, some said it will help others have said not a chance. Its just so tight all the time and stretching doesnt really help so wondering if its worth getting a lot of massages ?

Boetsch looks to end Lombard's unbeaten streak
If UFC fights were only 10 minutes long instead of 15, there wouldn't be this mythical tale about "The Barbarian" who invaded Japan and defeated their hometown hero in one of the most memorable comeback victories in company history. The Octagon's first foray into "The Land of the Rising Sun" in over a decade, UFC 144 played host to a third round knockout that caught the attention of not only everyone in attendance, but the entirety of the middleweight division. After two rounds of one-sided action from the previously ranked number one contender Yushin "Thunder" Okami, it took less than 60 seconds of the third round for Tim Boetsch to finish his opponent with really his first successful flurry of the fight . . .

Importer Folio 21 to debut
September 2, 2011,
HIGH POINT — Buyers at High Point's Premarket in two weeks will see the first products from Folio 21, a new company formed by three industry veterans to import case goods from Vietnam.
Bill Benton and Sean Slack, former executives at CR International and Powell Co., have teamed with Broyhill sales rep James Martin Jr. to form Folio 21.
At Premarket and the Oct. 22-27 High Point Market, Folio 21 will show in about 12,000 square feet in the International Home Furnishings Center, space W-647. Corporate offices will be in High Point's Radio Building.
Product has already has arrived on the West Coast from Vietnam and is on its way to High Point, officials said. The initial launch will focus on bedroom, but the company also plans to offer correlating casual dining at the April market.
Benton, former president of CR International and president and CEO of Powell, is president and CEO of Folio 21. Slack is executive vice president of merchandising and product development, and Martin is vice president of major accounts.
Officials said they engaged in months of market research to prepare for the launch of the new company.
"We launched this company to address the void we've identified in the marketplace for quality features at affordable retails," Slack said in a statement. "Our target is retailers who are looking for the next level of product and our focus will be unique design and hip styling combined with all of the best construction standards, including full-extension side guides and English dovetailing. Our products emphasize high quality, multi-step finishing and unique veneers, which are not usually found in goods at this price level."
Benton said the company will have low overhead costs that will allow it to offer values that don't currently exist in the marketplace.
"We're coming to market with an edgier look aimed at younger consumers who have been proving indifferent to the me-too products that have characterized retail floors for the past few years," he said.
"The industry has been chasing cheap goods and we all know it's not working; the majority of average-unit-dollar sales are dropping while costs have continued to rise. Our goal is to give consumers a compelling reason to step up."
While Benton declined to say exactly how many groups the company will show in High Point, he indicated that there will be plenty for buyers to see.
"This is a very aggressive launch," he said, adding that the showroom "will be full."

3nut chocolate mocha pie
this was the best pie that we tasted at the party because the cakes were dryed tasting.
Nuts about nuts
I knew I had to try this as soon as I read the recipe because Pecan pie is one of my favorites. I also decided to make a change before trying the recipe as is. DID NOT use "finely" chopped nuts - substituted coarsly chopped instead and it was delicious!
3-nut pie
Was not thrilled with this recipe. Too sweet and too much coffee taste. I like my coffee unsweetened so might try it next time with just one spoon of coffee flavoring and less corn syrup. Guests liked it though and requested the recipe.
3-nut chocolate Mocha Pie
DELICIOUS!! This wonderful dessert takes a little time to make, but it is definately worth it! Moist and sooo good! Great with ice cream or just by itself.
Good Title
This was a very lucious pie and one that I loved. I will make this pie again.

The Agency - Interview @ Eurogamer
The Agency's Lead Designer (Hal Milton) and Director of Development (Matt Wilson) are interviewed over at Eurogamer.
Eurogamer: The game's been designed with solo play very much in mind, and very little content that's exclusively for groups. How come?
Hal Milton: There's a designer who I've adored for years who's a good friend, called Dan Rubenfield, who puts this best. For player-versus-player combat, and for all those things that challenge the player, all of our online games are The Lord of the Flies. It's our job to protect Piggy from having his head bashed in with a rock. That stuck with me because it's absolutely accurate - we want to protect the sheep from the wolves.
So we make sure that that core experience that you paid to play, that you want to have fun with, is not a going-to-work simulator which punishes you for not playing it the way we want you to. It doesn't preclude the notion of having that type of gameplay - it just means that it's consensual and the player knows what choice they're making, and everything else is something you can get through with your own wits and skill.

Why Obama's war on oil speculators is poppycock (Choose – onions or corn)
posted at 10:16 am on April 25, 2012 by Bruce McQuain
Economist Dr. Mark Perry has a series of posts at his blog Carpe Diem which makes the case that "speculators" play and key and positive role in commodities markets.
One of the more intriguing posts deals with onions and oil. Oh, and corn. Perry quotes a 2008 Fortune magazine article:
"Before the government starts scrutinizing the role that speculators may have played in driving up fuel and food prices, investigators may want to take a look at price swings in a commodity not in today's news: onions.
The bulbous root is the only commodity for which futures trading is banned. Back in 1958, onion growers convinced themselves that futures traders were responsible for falling onion prices, so they lobbied an up-and-coming Michigan Congressman named Gerald Ford to push through a law banning all futures trading in onions. The law still stands.
And yet even with no traders to blame, the volatility in onion prices makes the swings in oil and corn look tame, reinforcing academics' belief that futures trading diminishes extreme price swings."
The proof is in the charts. The first chart compares the volatility in the onion market, in which futures trading was banned, with that of the oil market.
Compare the mean and standard deviation differences in the two markets. Remember blue – no futures trading. Red – futures trading.
So, you say, comparing onions and oil is like, well, comparing onions and oil! OK, how about onions an corn. Again the same difference applies. No futures trading for onions but there is with corn.
Result? The same:
The point, of course, is those futures contracts help moderate a market. Or as Perry says:
The fact that the volatility of onion prices is so much greater than the volatility of corn prices lends further statistical support to the notion that markets with futures trading like corn have lower price volatility than markets without futures contracts like onions.
Bingo. So, the President's war on "oil speculators" is an obvious distraction. But here's the other side of that – if successful, you may end up seeing oil act like onions. Is that something most of us would prefer? Given these facts, it seems the height of folly to attempt to regulate or ban futures trading in oil, doesn't it?
A few more charts to finish the point. First, futures trading in natural gas:
If oil speculation (or, as implied, greed) is the cause of rising oil prices, why aren't natural gas prices rising as well in futures trades (not as "greedy")?
In fact, it is because of "speculators" that we've seen the price of natural gas go down. So futures markets do what? They react to market signals on supply and demand. What this tells us is we most likely have an over abundance of natural gas.
So what does the market do? It adjusts the price to the reality of the supply v demand – in this case, the price goes down. And it also does things like this:
When natural gas price were up and oil prices down, more drilling rigs were allocated by those markets to natural gas. As oil prices have risen dramatically recently, while natural gas prices have fallen, there's been just as dramatic a shift in the allocation of drilling rigs from natural gas to oil.
The success in the natural gas sector has driven supply up while demand has yet to increase proportionately. Meanwhile, we'd had an abundant supply of oil, which has now become very tight (geopolitics, folks – governments at work and war) driving up the price of crude. The market is reacting.
And as it reacts, guess what?
Crude futures are down as they obviously see future supply growing as the market adjusts and reacts. All driven by "speculators" who are, right now, in the middle of moderating the market.
So, as President Obama continues with his "blame the speculators" nonsense, you have a choice.
Onions or corn?
Markets or bureaucrats?
PS – if you'd like to read some academic pieces on why "speculators" are a key to a market economy, read this.
