text: Firstly I would like to say hello and thank for a great deal of knowledge that can be found on this forum. I need to find a solution for my desktop sound system. I have got 3 elements: PC, Xbox and PC monitor. I would like to add that PC has optical out, Xbox has an optical out but the components are hooked up to a CRT TV so I have to use optical out for audio and HDMI for video. The monitor does not have HDMI input so I will need to use some kind of HDMI to DVI-D cable/adapter. My question is now, what can I use to join these elements together? I would like to have one piece of gear that I will be using firstly mainly for headphones but later I would like to add speakers. I was recommended to get a receiver but. It seems pretty big to be placed on my desk. Also, I am not sure if I can use HDMI form the Xbox and then HDMI to DVI-D cable to connect the monitor to the receiver (and I want it to process the sound). It seems like a fairly basic setup but I have got an impression that it is getting complicated. My budget is quite limited, around 200$. Thanks.

More than 600 Walk to School event coordinators answered the National Center for Safe Routes to School's call for feedback on communities' experiences with Walk to School 2008. Results from the Walk to School survey will be reported in the National Center's progress report in March. One important advance finding is that 75 percent of Walk to School events led to long-term changes in policies or infrastructure. This is the highest percentage ever reported for this question. Event coordinators also reported on the nature of the changes, leading organizers and motivating factors.
Thousands of families walked to school together in October 2008 as part of Walk to School Day.
More than 3,000 events officially registered on the U.S. web site, www.walktoschool.org. To view the names of registered schools that participated in Walk to School Day in the U.S., please visit www.walktoschool.org. For photos of Walk to School activities from the U.S. and around the world, please visit www.iwalktoschool.org/photos/index.htm.
To receive additional feedback throughout the year, the National Center for Safe Routes to School has set up a special phone messaging system to record feedback at any time. Please call and leave a message, including your name, city and state at (919) 809-7777.

Les Miserables, Tom Hooper's first film since The King's Speech is an epic story of love, death and disappointment set against a backdrop of French Revolution.
Russell Crowe is a solid, uniformed presence as brooding baddie Javert while opposite hunk number Hugh Jackman is conflicted and formal (but not stuffy) as he smoulders as the heroic Jean Valjean – even after we are introduced to him in a prison camp.
Anne Hathaway looked striking too – but her performance had even more impact. She is stunningly good as the tragic Fantine.
But can the big stars actually sing? Happily (as it is quite a long experience at 158 minutes), they all can.
Most of us already knew she could rap, but Hathaway in particular manages to both sing her heart out and act her socks off.
Her shaven-headed rendition of 'I Dreamed a Dream' is a real highlight and – whisper it quietly – even better than Susan Boyle's version. I know.
Elsewhere, Amanda Seyfried's gloriously piercing voice shines as much as her beautifully lucid skin.
And Sacha Baron Cohen (with a somewhat intriguing accent located somewhere between Kazakhstan and 'Allo 'Allo) and Helena Bonham Carter both provide brilliant comedy turns as the obnoxious Thénardiers.
No doubt all involved will be feeling a little less wretched come awards season.

I'm getting into the market for a new compact .40, I currently carry a PT140 and thankfully have not experienced any of the often told reliability issue that Taurus sporadically has. The reason for the new search is that I also own an SR9, which I really enjoy shooting, but more specifically, I like the feel of the trigger pull and would like both of my handguns to be as consistent as possible.
That said, for all you SR40c owners, can you tell me your likes/dislikes about this weapon or anything else that might help me with my decision?

Regional Navigation
Interstate 20 Westbound
The Guide to Interstate 20 is split into two pages:
- Interstate 20 Eastbound
- Interstate 20 Westbound
Page Updated February 25, 2004.
The Guide to Interstate 20 is split into two pages:
|Interstate 20 West
|Traffic from Lakeshore Drive (Exit 17A) merges onto Interstate 20 westbound to form an exit-only lane for nearby Exit 16B with U.S. 79 & 80 (Greenwood Road). The freeway travels north-south briefly between the two diamond interchanges. Photo taken 10/18/03.
|Interstate 20 westbound at the Exit 16B off-ramp to Greenwood Road. U.S. 79 & 80 scoot south of the freeway via Texas Avenue from the Interstate 49 stack interchange to Exit 16B. The federal highway pair will again intersect Interstate 20 at Exit 4 near Greenwood (pop. 2,458). Photo taken 10/18/03.
|One-half mile west of U.S. 79 & 80 is the Exit 16A interchange with Hearne Avenue (U.S. 171). The north-south avenue carries U.S. 171 from its terminus at Greenwood Road southward to Mansfield Road. Photo taken 10/18/03.
|The Exit 16B on-ramp becomes the exit-only lane for the Exit 16A off-ramp. U.S. 171 is a Louisiana only federal highway travelling between Shreveport (pop. 200,145) and Lake Charles (pop. 71,757). Photo taken 10/18/03.
|Interstate 20 bends westward at the Hearne Avenue (U.S. 171) diamond interchange (Exit 16A). U.S. 171 ends four blocks to the north at U.S. 79 & 80. Situated to the west of Hearne Avenue and north of Interstate 20 is the State Fair Grounds. Photo taken 10/18/03.
|Next in line for Interstate 20 westbound motorists is the Exit 14 interchange with Jewella Avenue. The north-south surface street travels between U.S. 171 (Mansfield Road) and Lakeshore Drive through western reaches of the city. Photo taken 10/18/03.
|Posted within the Exit 13 diamond interchange with Monkhouse Drive is the 0.75-mile overhead for Exit 11 (Interstate 220 & Louisiana 3132 east). Exit 11 sees ramps for Louisiana 3132 south (Inner Loop Expressway) and Interstate 220 east (Shreveport-Bossier City north loop). Photo taken 10/18/03.
|Just west of the Interstate 220 terminus interchange is the Exit 10 diamond interchange with Pines Road. The Shreveport metropolitan area continues another six miles to the town of Greenwood. Pines Road travels between Louisiana 526 (Bert Koons Industrial Loop) and Lakeshore Drive. Photo taken 10/18/03.

London, May 7 : Queen, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Razorlight, Andrea and Sharon Corr, Eddy Grant and Jamelia are all set to perform for Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert in Hyde Park, London, on June 27.
South African and African artists including Johnny Clegg, Sipho Mabuse, Loyiso, Kurt Darren, the Soweto Gospel Choir, Aids orphan choir The Children of Agape, Papa Wemba and Sudanese rapper Emmanuel Jal are also on the bill, reports BBC.
Eminem, U2, Amy Winehouse and the Spice Girls are among the other acts who have been mentioned in the press.
The concert comes three weeks before Mandela's actual birthday, and proceeds will go to his charity, 46664, which helps people affected by HIV and AIDS.
46664 was Mandela's prisoner number during his 27-year incarceration (which ended in 1990) by South Africa's apartheid regime. Organisers have promised further stars on the bill, with "several major artists keeping silent about their involvement in order to take both Mr Mandela and the audience by surprise", a statement said.

New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Crop It, Slice It
Some of you mind overexposure on the runway and some of you don't. I can live with that. But if you start working on those abs now, by Springtime you can honor clothes that are cropped and sliced. I think crop tops can be adorable — when worn with a high waisted skirt or slouchy trousers — but you really have to have a smokin' bod. For those on the fence, a sliced or cut out top or dress is an alternative. If you want it all, Rodarte delivered a bandeau underneath a web of cut out knits.


text: Got up earlier than usual today, I knew someone else was going to be in the field and I wanted to get to the blind before they showed up. Good thing I did, arrived on site to find 4 feet of snow drifed in the blind. Fortunatly there was a shovel in the truck. Dug out and began to set up deeks. I found out this morning why foam shell's are not always the best choice. Spent about 15 min chasing down two that were caught by a gust of wind, one made it about 100 yards before I finally jumped on it. Sat down in a snow drift and watched hundreds of geese land about three miles away for two hours. Finally...... small flock of about 7 took the bait and set their wings, only 4 flew away. Would have like to have gotten one more, but I'll take what I can get.

Howdy! I am "Ramblin'" Dan Kautz. Proprietor of Ramblin Dan's Store. We are located in Frisco, Texas located just north of Dallas, Texas. It was just reported Frisco is the fastest growing city in the entire USA!
Operating ecommerce only, we are also known as The Hobbyist Machine Store (THMS), which was formally established in 2007. We use both names, adding "Ramblin' Dan's Store" (RDS) to help indicate we serve more than the hobbyist market with our primary line of Taig Tools. Some of our invoices indicate the THMS identification.
I am a hands on owner, owning and using all the tools we offer in my own workshop and studio. Follow all the Companion Links and menu tab selections from Ramblin' Dan's Workshop to understand the real Ramblin' Dan.
The products displayed here are far more than hobbyist toys. They are industrial quality working machine tools capable of long term, accurate machine work at a very professional standard. They are micro tools for sure, and must be used within their capability. Here in the RDS we have two Taig CNC micro mills and a Taig Micro lathe in operation. Many larger machine tools also. We use the correct machine for the job.
The Taig CNC micro mills are outstanding for micro 3D wax carving for making lost wax casting masters for my silver jewelry business. Run times can be as long as four to six hours using milling bits as small as 0.003 tip diameter. Outstanding accuracy and repeatability. My first machine has been in operation for 10 years and maintains the same quality as my newer mill.
Great products sold by a real user. "Ask the man who own's one…"
Here is one of my Taig CNC Micro-Mills is use carving wax with a 0.004" tapered ball end milling bit. This mill runs at top speed all day long when required. I have another CNC Micro-Mill set up with mist cooling for metal work. This is a precision machine for demanding work
On the right side of the spindle I have installed a home made Chip blower to clear the wax chips from the cutting area. It is less intrusive than an attached vacuum. The wax chips are easily vacummed up later.
Note the reminder to keep fingers away from the open drive! (Click Picture)
Here is a link to an article about the blower attachment. It contains a video of the mill in action.
Thank you for visiting RDS!

Glacial drumlins of boulder clay lie in the vales of the Dee, Cree and Urr.
The finest material deposited is rock meal, ground by the great glacial mill, and called "boulder clay."
Intercalation of freshwater beds and of boulder clay and sand at Mundesley.
At this place a human fibula was found under a layer of boulder clay.
They are seen in some places to rest on the boulder clay of the glacial period, which will be described in future chapters.
In Denmark, also, recent shells have been found in stratified beds, closely associated with the boulder clay.
We may then suppose that boulder clay may be formed in three ways.
The freshwater gravel which incloses it is decidedly of much more modern origin than the drift or boulder clay of the same region.
A good deal of the solid geology is obscured in many places by glacial drift, boulder clay and sands.
The boulder clay of Germany is supposed to have accumulated underneath this vast "mer de glace," as he calls it.

Champion Radiator warranty by Ledfoot
Ledfoot Racing shows a Lifetime Warranty on their Champion aluminum radiators for Jeep Wranglers. Several sources on eBay lists Champion radiators for $20-$30 less than Ledfoot but none of them show any kind of warranty other than free shipping on returns in less than 30-60 days. I'd like to have a radiator on hand to install when weather permits but that could be 30-45 days just setting in the garage waiting.
Does anyone know or have any experience along this line to know if the Lifetime Warranty is strictly a Ledfoot Racing thing and is what you're paying the extra for, or if all Champion radiators will have a lifetime warranty? Or does anyone worry about a warranty with Champion radiators?
Is this one of those "You get what you pay for", or rather "You pay for what you get" situations?
I would contact the vendor and or ledfoot and ask them directly
That exclusion of warranty for offroad use would turn me off. Get an oem one and be done. Mopar parts | Dodge parts | Chrysler parts | Jeep parts
And there it is on cue......
10 Attachment(s)
I replaced my OEM at 115k. Assuming the average life of an OEM is 100k miles, for the Griffin to be cheaper it has to last 270,000 miles. Your long run cost stance makes no sense. Griffin makes nice radiators, but I don't think you'll ever get one that lasts that long.
Even if you got another OEM and it only lasted 70,000 miles like yours, the Griffin still has last at least 189,000 miles.
Finally, your long term is to almost to long term. Even if you driving 12,000 miles a year, your looking at well over a decade before you MIGHT see a savings in cost, and the savings cost would be minimal at that.
My 2001 Wrangler now has 65,000 miles and the original radiator has been seeping around the top tank for at least 2 years so it didn't last more than 9-10 years and 50,000-55,000 miles. I even installed a new 13# radiator cap to lower the pressure on the tank, which helped some without affecting the cooling any but it's still seeping. Thought about trying to re-crimp around the top tank with a small pair of vice grips but the radiator almost has to be removed in order to reach all of them and then it still may leak. I called the local Jeep dealer and was quoted $267 for a replacement with the same crappy plastic tanks but an all aluminum Champion radiator seems to run between $175 and $200 depending on the source.
With only a 12 month warranty on the OEM and maybe a Lifetime warranty on the Champion all aluminum I'm wondering if there should be any contest here.
Appreciate all the time involved getting so much advice from the Forum.
I had a Champion radiator that started leaking soon after I bought it. champion wanted me to go through the Ebay vendor I bought it from.
All I had to do was send them a few pictures of the leak, and they sent me a replacement.
Yeah there is nothing I would rather do than spend my free time changing out substandard parts.... Factor in my time, shipping crap back and forth coolant etc I will stick with oem.
FYI - The Griffin is $444 via Amazon.
Griffin Radiator 1987-2006 Jeep Wrangler YJ/TJ Radiator : Amazon.com : Automotive
And it's a 2 row....
Couldn't tell ya Skippy but there was a reason Jeep went from a 2 row to a 1 row early in the TJ's history. There is also a reason the big names in desert racing run 1 row rads too.....,
So, half the cooling surface area of the Griffin. Not that the OEM doesn't cool well enough.
And it's twice as thick.
Well, yes, it would have to be.
And that was the exact cool off the website, the one linked above is 3 inches thick. I don't see there being that much room in there. Fwiw the exact cool is one row of 1.5 inch tubes so I'm sure it cools nicely but I didn't see a price.
I didn't look at the actual thickness. Is that the core, or the tanks? Seems mighty thick.
The old 4-core Chevy big block radiators I used to run weren't that thick, at least not the core. Of course, the tubes weren't that thick. Back then, they weren't using tubes that were that thick, just multiple rows of thinner tubes, which aren't as efficient at heat transfer.
It says core on the info for the Amazon one above.
Maybe I'm trying to be too picky.
FWIW, I bought an aluminum radiator (for a Mustang, but put it in my CJ5) from these guys. It was nothing short of excellent. I talked to them on the phone and they were very helpful. Might call them and ask about their "limited lifetime" warranty.
2 Row Champion Cooling Aluminum Radiator for 1987-2006 Jeep Wrangler items in Reliable Radiator store on eBay!
For all practical purposes, no promises made on Ebay are going to be easily enforcable once 60 days has passed from the purchase date.

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Madras curry powder
- 8 medium carrots (about 1 1/2 pounds), thinly sliced
- 3 large leeks (about 1 1/2 pounds), white and tender green parts, thinly sliced
- 2 1/2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 1/2 cups water
In a large skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the curry powder and stir until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the carrots and cook until just tender, about 7 minutes. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return the soup to the saucepan, add the water and reheat gently.

You are missing the fact that we should have never given away the right to bear arms. We have allowed politicians and lawmakers to legislate away the right of self defense... or pay for the privilege of keeping that right through licensing fees, background checks to prove that we are innocent.
Too bad if you cant afford the permit or attend the training...you just do without.
As for the laws, some states such as Missouri, have a law that recognizes any states permit. It wouldn't take much to amend the law that says if no permit is required, then none is needed.
There is still much work to be done to get it back the way it used to be...when you didn't need permission from the Government to protect yourself.
I think its a step in the right direction. As for those states that are dominated by crooked politicians, it'll likely be a long time before that right is restored.

City Hall's new website reveals an alternative map of London
Alternative Tube maps are objects of fascination for many – but now the mayor's office has got in on the act with an alternative map of London itself.
The new Greater London Authority website features a map that invites you to "find out what we're doing where you live and work". You're invited to select a borough from a dropdown, then you're presented with some blurb about that borough and a map of neighbourhoods.
So here's Greenwich… with a photo of a building site. And a blurb that's rather similar to the Royal Borough of Greenwich Wikipedia entry.
And here's the map. Charlton seems to encroach a bit far west and Hither Green seems to be making a bid to escape the borough of Lewisham, where it wholly belongs. But hold on… what's that in the top right-hand corner where Thamesmead should be? Creekmouth? Wrong side of the Thames…
And that's not Erith and Thamesmead MP Teresa Pearce. (Thanks to Teresa herself for identifying the photo as being of the Conservative MP for Twickenham, Tania Mathias.)
Let's switch over to Lewisham, where the blurb also seems to have been lifted from Wikipedia.
Where's Catford gone? It appears to have been almost wholly replaced by Ladywell (yet is being represented by Catford South's councillors – one of them isn't impressed).
Here's Bexley. Who says they live in "Blackfen Lamorbey"? (Blackfen & Lamorbey is a Bexley Council ward covering Blackfen and the western end of Sidcup.)
Here's Bromley, where Chislehurst has vanished. Horns Green, a hamlet on the Kent border consisting of a few houses, gets an entry. And what's "Woodlands?".
Tower Hamlets. Poplar Riverside? (It's a development zone.)
Over in Camden, Camden Town and Kentish Town have been swallowed up by an expanding Gospel Oak.
Here's my favourite – someone clearly stuck Ewell in before realising it's actually in Surrey, not in Sutton, and so nothing to do with the mayor.
What's happened here, then? It looks like an odd mix of reality combined with Wikipedia searching, council wards and the wishful thinking of developers and estate agents.
It must have been a good idea at the time to try to map London's hundreds of neighbourhoods, and present some interesting data to go with them – but it's actually harder than you think.
Thamesmead – and Plumstead Marshes – on film from 1970
"Thamesmead – with its own identity!
"But still a lively part of London, growing from the river, the changing Thames."
Courtesy of the London Metropolitan Archive, here's a corking film from 1970 about the development of Thamesmead, including footage of the old Plumstead Marshes as well as the Royal Arsenal lands now buried under west Thamesmead, as well as a fruity soundtrack and a super-posh pronunciation of "Erith".
Utterly fascinating, not least for how much the new town was built to depend on cars, and also how the waterways were incorporated into the development. ("That water adds to the visual interest of a place has been evident for years in many parts of London" – so much for the old Surrey Canal.) Shame the international yacht terminal never happened, mind.
This Greater London Council film was shown at local schools in the early 1970s, and a second film, Living At Thamesmead, is also online. I'm told (by Charlton Athletic matchday announcer Dave Lockwood, no less) that another one exists about the building of the Blackwall Tunnel Southern Approach. Time to petition the archive to get that on YouTube too…
Thamesmead fans might also enjoy episode 45 of the fine South London Hardcore podcast, which deals with SE28's appearances on film and TV.
Greenwich Council: 'We'll build our own river crossing'
Greenwich Council is demanding the power to build a new road bridge at Thamesmead, according to its response to Transport for London's consultation into river crossings.
As expected, the council is "strongly supporting" the controversial Silvertown Tunnel, which would branch off the A102 just south of the Blackwall Tunnel, as favoured by mayor Boris Johnson but opposed by local residents and the local Labour party.
There's also no surprise in the council rejecting the mayor's other proposal – to build a ferry at Gallions Reach, linking Thamesmead with Beckton, instead – and favouring a bridge instead.
But what is interesting is a demand that Greenwich and Newham councils be given the power to build their own bridge if TfL doesn't build one.
It says: "The Royal Borough is concerned that a new fixed crossing at Gallions Reach should be constructed at the earliest possible opportunity [and] does not accept that a new fixed crossing at Gallions Reach could not be constructed before 2021.
"If TfL is unable to deliver a fixed crossing sooner than 2021 the Mayor should use the powers provided by the GLA Act 1999 (as amended by the GLA Act 2007) to delegate authority to the Royal Borough of Greenwich and Newham Council so as to facilitate that."
The chances of Boris Johnson approving a bridge at Gallions Reach, to be built by TfL or anyone else, are remote. His political allies at neighbouring Bexley Council are implacably opposed to the idea, and scrapping a previous proposal – the Thames Gateway Bridge – was one of his pledges prior to his election as mayor in 2008.
That said, though, the mayor clashed with Conservative assembly member and Bexley cabinet member Gareth Bacon on the subject in January, an exchange which is worth reading ("I am not ruling it out. I am ruling out the Thames Gateway Bridge. I have ruled that out."), while he has also acknowledged that a future mayor may take a different view.
Are the two Labour councils trying to offer Tory Boris a way out by offering to build a bridge themselves? It's an interesting development.
It also deepens the council's disagreement with Eltham Labour MP Clive Efford, who fears a Gallions Reach bridge would lead to a revival of long-scrapped plans to drive a motorway through Oxleas Woods. The local ward party in Shooters Hill has rejected the council's campaign.
While a bridge at Gallions Reach may look more attractive compared with the crazy Silvertown proposal, many of the same issues apply. Air pollution is already poor in the area, underneath the London City Airport flightpath, and housing has already been built either side of the proposed approach at Barnham Drive, west Thamesmead.
There's the additional complication of attracting more traffic to roads which wouldn't be able to cope with the traffic – notoriously, the main route to the area from Bexleyheath is a side road, Knee Hill.
That said, those issues would also apply to Boris's ferry proposal – supported by Bexley – which would replace the Woolwich Ferry, mostly used by HGVs.
Another interesting aspect of Greenwich's response suggests using both crossings to create some kind of circular public transport link between the Royal Docks and the north of the borough, as well as flagging up its pet "DLR on stilts" proposal.
"An analysis of the opportunity to incorporate provision for a DLR extension to the south of the Royal Borough within the Silvertown Tunnel would be welcomed – alongside an analysis of the prospect of creating a circular public transport arrangement that could connect Thamesmead, Beckton, the University of East London campus, City Airport, ExCel, the O2, Ravensbourne College and North Greenwich station, Charlton Riverside, Woolwich Central and the new Crossrail stations utilising new crossing at Silvertown and Gallions Reach," it says.
No reference to worries about air quality or increased congestion at either Silvertown or Gallions Reach feature in Greenwich's submission, which records the curiously round figure of 1,200 signatures in support of its three-month long Bridge The Gap campaign, of which 795 were received online, the rest from pre-printed cards supplied to the public. (The No To Silvertown Tunnel petition got 348 in a month.)
It also supports tolling, yet acknowledges that this could send traffic towards Rotherhithe Tunnel and Tower Bridge: "It is essential that any tolling regime introduced is designed such that the World Heritage Site at Greenwich is not detrimentally affected by a potential shift of vehicle movements westwards to the nearest 'free' crossings."
It says there should be "appropriate local traffic mitigation measures to safeguard the World Heritage Site and other residential areas in the proximity of the proposed Silvertown tunnel", although it does not suggest what these would be.
Read Greenwich Council's response and report to cabinet member Denise Hyland.
Greenwich Council gets the robes out again
If you get the chance, take a look at the best thing written about the cable car yet, by Owen Hatherley for the Guardian website. In it, he says Boris Johnson has run London like a "twee nostalgia theme park" – a description that could arguably apply to the "royal" borough of Greenwich, in all its forelock-tugging glory.
After all, next week, it's going to vote on buying a new set of robes. What is the council spending £1,500 on? Why, only giving us a Recorder of Greenwich…
The Council is requested to –
Appoint His Honour Judge Hilliard QC as the Honorary Recorder for the Royal Borough of Greenwich for the duration of tenure as the Resident Judge at Woolwich Crown Court pursuant to Section 54 of the Courts Act, 1971.
A borough or city has the power to appoint the senior judge at the court which serves it to the position of "honorary recorder", with the aim of preserving ancient links between cities and the judiciary which existed before the old assizes system was abolished in 1972.
They're rare in London, where the boroughs don't have much heritage as institutions – the City has one, who still has a formal role within the square mile's governance, who sits at the Old Bailey. The others are in Croydon, Kensington & Chelsea, Redbridge, Southwark and Westminster.
The appointment means Judge Nicholas Hillard QC can wear red robes in court and be addressed as "my lord", rather than "your honour". But what's in it for us? According to the council…
The Honorary Recorder is an honorific position and provides a bridge between the judiciary and local government and thus the wider community. One of the roles of the Honorary Recorder would be to attend the inauguration of the Mayor and to be invited to other meetings and civic functions as appropriate, this could include civic receptions, freedom of the borough ceremonies and civic week.
As we all know, it's local government and the "wider community" which really needs linking up – after all, we don't get invited to any civic receptions. This has the potential to be a massive waste of time, doesn't it?
Well, yes, it does. But hopefully Judge Hillard can prove this sceptical post wrong. His colleague, Judge Roger Chapple, has been striking out to do good things in Southwark, where's he's borough recorder.
According to the excellent London SE1 site, the Inner London Crown Court judge has been speaking of the need to reconnect the courts with the community.
"Daily I and my fellow judges see the ghastly, corrosive effect of local crime – much of it knife crime, much of it gang related.
"I can't help thinking that my court could do something more to help in the fight against crime.
"Soon after arriving at Inner London Crown Court, I tried to start an initiative by writing to the local schools and inviting them to send groups for visits: to watch a case in action, meet a judge, to sit in the dock.
"Very, very few replies were received – sadly none of them positive."
"I'm going to try again; with the additional clout that you have given me as the honorary recorder of Southwark I might achieve more than I did last time around."
With Woolwich Crown Court these days located in the Belmarsh Prison complex in west Thamesmead, and better known for staging high-profile terrorism cases, the court has the additional disadvantage of being physically isolated from its community.
So hopefully Judge Hillard will use his position to break down a few walls between us and them. Otherwise, he'll just be another trinket to be wheeled out whenever the council wants to wine and dine a selected few. With council budgets still being cut, spending time and money on another heritage adventure risks leaving a bad taste in the mouth.
If you're quick, you can put a public question into next Wednesday's council meeting (which will approve the appointment) to be answered by cabinet members or the leader. (Here's what happened last time.) Drop a line to firstname.lastname@example.com by noon today.
Talking about cycling on Greenwich's Thames Path
It hasn't been the best of weekends to enjoy it, but the Thames Path is one of the best things about this part of London. If you take the borough as a whole, Greenwich borough has the longest riverfront in London, and as well as a walking route, it's a designated cycle route too.
A scrutiny panel of councillors has been looking into ways of improving it as a cycle route, and officers have come up with a report – you can read it here (4MB PDF). It features some good ideas, such as sorting out the irritating cobbles at Greenwich Millennium Village, changing signs so they read "North Greenwich" rather than "Blackwall Point", and (yes!) installing cycle stands outside the Pelton Arms pub.
Councillors are meeting on Tuesday night to discuss it – and the public's welcome to come along and ask questions if they want. A lot of attention will be on plugging the gap between the Thames Barrier in Charlton and King Henry's Wharf in Woolwich, something which would dramatically change the way the path is seen – as well as helping people access the fantastic Second Floor Arts facility at Warspite Road.
That said, hopefully there'll be room for my own gripe to be addressed – sticking some signs up to get pedestrians out of the cycle path by the cable car (and cyclists out of the pedestrian bits), where markings were worn away by the cable car contractors and not reinstated, while the pedestrian bit was never marked.
I've seen some sights commuting along the path over recent months, and sooner or later someone is going to come a cropper – or prompt someone else to come to grief – some day for paying more attention to their iPad than their surroundings.
My other gripe is that it doesn't do much about improving access to the path – but this seems like an encouraging start.
Has Boris sounded the Woolwich Ferry's death knell?
Boris Johnson launched his transport manifesto on Monday, and there's a line in it which went largely unnoticed which could have profound effects in Woolwich.
"I will launch a new car ferry service from Thamesmead to Gallions Reach, to replace the ageing Woolwich ferry."
That's the first confirmation that the mayor's planned ferry – overshadowed by the Silvertown tunnel keffufle – would replace the Woolwich Ferry, whose three vessels were launched nearly 50 years ago. I've gone on about the joys of the ferry before, but it's very hard to imagine Woolwich without a crossing which has existed in various forms for hundreds of years.
I'm also not sure how motorists – particularly the lorry drivers which mainly use the ferry – will take to seeing the link between the North Circular and South Circular broken.
The ferry will be at the site of the scrapped Thames Gateway Bridge, which begs the question – why not just build the bridge?
Boris's manifesto shows where he's angling for votes:
"I killed off my predecessor's proposal for a Thames Gateway Bridge because of the damaging impact it would have had on Bexley, and I will not resuscitate it. Instead, I will continue to call on the Government for residents within Greater London who live close to the Dartford Crossing – notably those living in Bexley and Havering – to be given the same discount on the Dartford toll as residents of Dartford and Thurrock."
The obvious bribe to zone 6 motorists aside, why would a ferry not have the damaging impact on Bexley borough that a bridge would?
As for the Silvertown crossing:
"I will also seek powers to construct a new Blackwall relief crossing, a road tunnel that will cross from Greenwich Peninsula to Silvertown, near the Royal Docks, and which will be completed within ten years. The government has committed to explore the case for using the Planning Act to streamline planning for proposed additional river crossings in East London."
In other words, no more pesky inquiries like the one that killed off the Thames Gateway Bridge.
There's more, including a very vague plan to extend the Docklands Light Railway to Bromley, in the full manifesto.
Speaking of mayoral matters, the Guardian's Manifesto for a Model Mayor is well worth a read, and features a couple of contributions from me – see if you can spot them.
Remember the gay letter row? News Shopper reaps what it sows
Catching up on local news, this caught my eye on the News Shopper website…
It's a horrifying tale for sure, with a man being told he should "burn in hell" because "men should only lay with women". Indeed, you wouldn't find such views pushed through people's letterboxes under the guise of a "local newspaper" which had rewarded their author with a free pen, would you?
Wonder what happened to that free pen? Wonder what it's being used for now?
The Snooze Shopper hasn't learned its lessons from that attempt to start a row, though – last week it launched a campaign against Staffordshire Bull Terriers, demanding its owners make the dogs wear a muzzle in public.
"Over the next few weeks we'll be bringing you some harrowing stories involving victims as young as nine and as old as 90. We'll also be calling on you to Shop a Dog."
Tasteful. Just like the logo with the blood-splattered tag.
I won't link to it, because the website hits are all they judge success by, and I'm sure the champagne corks are already popping in Petts Wood over a 205-comment thread of bile at the foot of the story. But I'll happily link to Battersea Dogs' Home's response:
"By encouraging Staffordshire Bull Terriers to be seen as dangerous, your campaign is fuelling the abuse and abandonment of a much-maligned breed which does not deserve its negative reputation."
Still, when there's a vigilante attack on a Staffie owner next year, I'm sure the News Shopper will be first to bring us the news.
(Thanks to Nick at Brockley Central for the tip-off on the homophobic attack, and Brockley Kate for the Battersea link.)

Analysis: Confusing hard and soft power in emerging markets
By Mike Dolan
LONDON (Reuters) - Deserting debt-laden, recession-racked North Atlantic and Japan for the fast-growing emerging market world may have been irresistible for some investors but many others still remain timid.
Why? It may be a case of "hard power" versus "soft power".
If investment decisions hinged solely on the former - measured by raw data such as economic output, population size and military spending - then convergence between rich and developing nation blocs is nigh on complete.
Adjusted for currencies' purchasing power, emerging economies on aggregate reached a "watershed" in 2012 and became as large as the rich developed world, estimates hedge fund manager Stephen Jen.
That train has long left the station, of course, and may well be only part way through its odyssey. According to Goldman Sachs, the giant economies of Brazil, Russia, India and China alone are expected to surge from a fifth of global output today to a third by 2020.
Using an index of "hard power" traced back to the early 1800s, with inputs such as iron and steel production, energy use, urban population and per capita military spending, Jen reckons dispersion of hard power between the top economies of the United States, Europe, Japan, China and Russia is at its lowest for 200 years.
But he reckons the world is still some way off equality of "soft power" - classed variously as the ability to influence ideas through culture, education, democracy or diplomacy but also capturing "intangibles" such as social justice, good corporate governance, transparency of law or open markets.
There's no direct gauge of this fuzzier "soft power". But if you take gauges such as Transparency International's "corruption perceptions index" as one possible component, then no major emerging economy comes in the top 20 apart from long-standing financial centers such as Singapore and Hong Kong.

This is a discussion on The Superduper Snubbie thread within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by rcyxf460 Nice arrangement there. I also really like those three....
I current own is a Webley .455 Metro Police revolver, one of the ORIGINAL snubbies!
Our best guess is it was made in the 1880-1890's time frame. My grandfather got it sometime prior to WWII and when he died at 90 in 1967 the gun went to my father. After my dad died in 1995, we thought the gun was lost or had been sold by my father. However, my younger brother found the gun, a pair of half-moon clips for .45 ACP rounds and a box of bullets in a shoebox a few years later. It had been hidden in the back of a closet at my parent's house for years and was found while my mother was having a bedroom remodeled. My mother gave it to my brother and he gave it to me several years ago when I was back home in NC for a family reunion. It was the first handgun I ever shot back in the 60's when I was a teen.
I also have a RG-14 .22 revolver, a genuine "Saturday Night Special" made back in the 70's. It cost around $20 new and is the same gun used by John Hinckley to shoot President Ronald Reagan in 1981. I bought a pair of them, still NIB from a retired guy at a gunshow a few years back for $75.
The other gun is my wife's LadySmith .38 SPL she's had since the 80's. Between the three guns, I'd say this just about covers the range in snubbies as far as size and caliber!
I have a number of other revolvers aside from the guns above, but they all have barrels 4" or more in length so I can't really call them snubbies.

Everybody needs to own a "Snubbie" no matter what brand. It should be light weight if you plan to carry and for me at least is an everywhere gun. I won't argue with people who brag on their PM9 Kahrs. I guess in a way it fills the same niche. I would buy one if I was as certain of getting one with no problems as I am with my 642.
IMHO people often buy too big a gun for their first one. You can always move up in size and capacity as you become more experienced. I have several options in size and caliber for EDC but find the snubbie is just plain easy to pack.
For the stength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack. - R. Kipling
Romans 1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].
Please forgive the ignorance of this one, but here are a couple of questions:
1. My S & W 642 snubbie airweight 38 special has +P stamped on it. Yet, I have seen some posts and articles that say not to shoot much +P ammo in a snubbie that is not all stainless steel. One article even said less than 50 rounds. Is that for the life of the gun, all at once? Is it true even if it apparently is supposed to be rated for it? What do you learned ones think? It's new and mommie does not want to hurt it
2. Is it true they are making the Federal Nyclad low recoil ammo for 38 snubbies available again for sale to the commoners? Wonder what miracle it would take to get some...
Yes the Federal Nyclad rounds have been reintroduced and are starting to show up at some stores. I picked up some just last week at my local fun shop,and they are just as good as there were years ago. As I understand it they are just making the standard pressure, but those seem to be ideal for the snubbies, tests I've read don't show the +P rounds as having much better velocity than the standard rounds. The Nyclad are my carry ammo in my Model 36 and my 686+

Top Google+ Influencers and Educators
One of the best ways to learn how to use and thrive on Google+ is to circle some of the best, most active, most engaged Google+ users. That's true on every social network. If you refine that list to include the Google+ users who are actively sharing and educating on Google+ itself, now you'll have a truly rich source of information flowing into your Home stream each and every day.
So who should you circle?
I have started a list of the twenty or so people whom I look to every day for great, new ideas and news and information. I suggest you circle each of them. (If you aren't sure how to set up your Circles, here's a primer.) Right-mouse click on any name and open them in a new tab. Check out their About profile and choose whether or not to circle them. You can also Vote Up any individuals that you like the best.
But these aren't the only great people to follow, are they? Of course not! I'm using a list.ly list specifically because I couldn't possible remember or know everyone - and new people are stepping up and becoming experts at Google+ regularly. So, if you or someone you know should be on this list, add them! use the Add To List button and just paste in the URL to that person's Google+ profile.
Nominations will be moderated, of course, but there are no specific guidelines or requirements. These should simply be people that are actively using and talking about Google+, and helping other people in one way or another.
I recommend that you create a Circle specifically for these people and begin adding them to it. I have also started a Circle and will post it on Google+ as a Shared Circle regularly, as more people are added.

In the following pages I propose to consider the Pali Canon, postponing until later an account of the others.
As mentioned above, our Pali Canon is the recension of the Vibhajjavdins.
Those already made known are partly Mahayanist and partly similar to the Pali Canon though not a literal translation of it.
The Pali Canon too tells us that the relics of the Buddha were honoured with garlands and perfumes.
But nothing indicates that any part of what we call the Pali Canon underwent this process.
They illustrate about 100 Jatakas, arranged for the most part according to the order followed in the Pali Canon.
A canon composed in Sanskrit and apparently later than the Pali Canon.

What about the pathetic level of your intelligence?<quoted text>
Knowing the pathetic level of your intelligence, it's evident that you won't clear the IIT JEE.
(Thank God they've now diluted the standard and format of the JEE. It was tooo stressful in the past and the level of questions were way too difficult for a university entrance exam).

I don't know whether the Roorkee university is more difficult than IITs or the other way around.
What do I know is what I read. You wrote the following:
"How did a dunce like you manage to get admitted to the Roorkee University for a degree course in engineering when the entrance exam is next only to the IIT JEE in terms of difficulty..."
According to what you said the entrance exam of Roorkee Uni is not of the same level of IITs but very close to it.
Seeing one former exponent of Roorkee Uni here, well, it seems to me the entrance exam as well as the entire course wouldn't be that hard.
Also you said this:
"Roorkee is now under the IIT umbrella"
This means same level of difficulty.
Furthermore your IIT of Mumbai does not even rank among the 200 top world universities... Thus if IIT has the hardest entrance exam of the world is only a waste of time to study there since it does not give the top qualities teachings. If your IITs doesnt have the hardest entrance exam and neither give you the top qualities teachings as well as top labs, but also seen two exponents here coming from those universities, and absence of them (universities) in the classific of the best of the world, then I can only conclude you are a deluded who tries to elevate ordinary universities to a rank that still doesn't belong to them.

#49593 Feb 25, 2013
You're ignorant from every perspective.
In the past when Roorkee was an independent university, its entrance exam was next only to the IIT JEE but that does not mean that it was close to the JEE in terms of degree of difficulty. It was the second toughest entrance exam in India but the gap between the IIT JEE and the Roorkee Entrance Exam was vast. That's all.

Wait a minute, you little equivicating snake in the grass. What is this nonsense you propose about David being a "Prophet?" No. Not even slightly. He earned an earthly crown, good for him, but that is IT, and that is ALL. And, yeah, he made his share of mistakes, too, nothing as bad as the man YOU would revere and call "holy," (I've noticed you STILL dodge the question,) but of course he did, he was a man. A king. But NOT a "prophet." So tell me again, Muq. If you've got the courage, anyways. Look deep into your own soul and TELL me you BELIEVE that it is a Holy and a Pious thing for a grown man to MARRY a child who is not even 10 years old. Don't equivicate. Don't make excuses. Don't post more of your nonsense about some "flaming sword of Islam up your ass" or whatever it is you keep posting. Just answer. Be a man for once in your life. Yes or no, Muq? Is it right for someone like YOU to go off and force an 8-year old into marriage with you? Or is it that, secretly, you DO approve of such behavior? After all, that is your "prophet," isn't it?

Now, ever since Roorkee has been included under the IIT unbrella together with the new IITs the entrance exam is common to all. They've diluted the high standard of the IIT JEE over the years die to political pressure. The IIT JEE is close in level of difficulty to the International Math, Physics and Chem Olympiads and in some ways the questions are a bit tougher.

I wanted to amend my post. If anyone is interested in believing in Yehoshua or Jesus and obeying the law of the new covenant then go to this webpage and believe the words of G-d. Believe the prophecies of G-d and their fulfillment by G-d. Until the desire to serve G-d is greater than the desire to pursue sinful pleasures, there can be no change in your life. It isn't worth it to pursue a short life of sinful pleasures and then to be judged by G-d for eternity. You have to give up the sinful pleasures in the love of G-d for a short period of time and then G-d will reward you with an eternity with him. If you want to be saved forever then go to this webpage and believe and obey the word of G-d. Print it out and keep it with you to guide you in your study of G-d's holy scriptures.

rabbee: well they must of changed the anacronym, since i have taken em. and in fact i even have, a higher score on my blood test. and i have never even had to study for them, and got all A+ a+. and i do not even belive, you want to get in to my regestered iq. but then the old iq test scrore, is not dependant on your way of lying.
nor am i about to lower my iq, to meet with the approvial of your (sviat) standard of village idot aptitude test. as be it known, that difference is not a sure lock. of how much smarter you are than someone else. as i may according to scripture, be able to talk to the talking animals. but that does not mean, the talking maggots are willing to understand.
and i can assure you that your self rumor, that you are smarter than G-D in HEAVEN or HisSon is totally false. in this world whose average intelligence, is not close to nor greater than even hasatan's. with the average intelligence, being much closer to baal hamolech.
#49606 Feb 25, 2013
rabbee: the age of religions, has never been over. no matter how many false religions, have been replaced with other false ones. but most hopefully, your religion will be over a lot sooner.
nor does getting rid of a bad religion, any insurance of it not being replaced a worse one. what is the point in chasing out, one bad spirit, when it is replaced by 72 or more far worse ones?
#49607 Feb 25, 2013
rabbee: well nothing useful or illumined, has come from your religion. but a comma in the right place, could prove usefull every now or then.
#49608 Feb 25, 2013
rabbee: hey do not blame G-D, for your or this whole world's failure, to pass TheHeaven entrance exam. as i can assure you that, the world stained with blood, bigotry, and ignorance, are all this worlds choices against G-D.

The Fiscal Cliff? Whatever…
It"s less than four days away from the fiscal cliff. But unlike the recent Mayan prophecy, the cliff will really happen. Tax cuts will expire and discretionary spending will be cut automatically. And of course, we will reach the debt c
eiling sooner rather than later. There are many obvious things wrong with this picture, but not necessarily anything that we have not all been warned about for months. Sure, life will get harder for most income earners but we have been warned. Sure, the stock market will falter but stock prices have reflected the uncertainty for months. They will recover. Whatever happens, all have been warned, and regardless of whether Congress and the Administration step up to the plate and do what"s right for the good of the economy and the taxpayer – or not- the world will still turn.
But what disturbs me beyond the fiscal cliff is the fact that nobody seems to expect that anything meaningful can or will be done about it. Accusations, finger-pointing, and bizarre metaphors permeate any potentially productive discussions. It"s as
if fiscal policy doesn"t matter anymore…and sadly, we the people have come to expect it. Congress and the Administration have thumbed their noses at their responsbilities, yet we continue to vote for them, pay for them, and give them perks and raises. Our representative form of government has shrugged their collective shoulders and said, in the words of Liam Lynch…."Whatever."

There really is something for everyone who wants to walk in the Lake District, regardless of your experience or the duration of your visit. The walks outlined below are intended to show you the range that the Lake District has to offer. So, here are quite easy walks, suitable for the whole family and there are more challenging walks, recommended for more experienced walkers. Do bear in mind that, just because you only have time for a short walk, doesn't mean it has to be too easy. Likewise, if you want to spend a full day out walking, you needn't feel obliged to tackle something more difficult than you are comfortable with.
1. Scout Scar
The concept of a "walking" holiday may be quite intimidating to some people but it doesn't have to be. Even if you are looking for breathtaking panoramic views, the variety of routes in the Lake District ensures that this is possible while enjoying a gentle stroll. Scout Scar is a long limestone escarpment and, in parts, the path can rise quite steeply but there are two resting places on the way up. The path, which is even suitable for robust pushchairs, winds up to a charming wooden bench and a truly stunning view. More gung-ho families can carry on to The Mushroom, a shelter with a view of the surrounding fells, and even Blackpool Tower on a clear day.
2. Windermere's Western Shore
Cross majestic Lake Windermere to Ferry House and follow the road around the bank. The first kilometre is flat tarmac and weaves through open meadow, overlooking the beautiful Bowness and Troutbeck hills. There are lots of spots to rest and picnic on the grass, by the scenic wooded shoreline and on the charming pebble beach. The tarmac turns into level, stone track as you go into Heald Wood. The continuing route to to Red Nab has two relatively steep sections and the path can be quite rough and rocky.
3. Brothers' Water
Once known as Broad Water, legend has it that the name was changed in the 19th Century when two brothers drowned in the lake. It is shallow and fringed with reed beds that are home to moorhens, coots and swans. The surrounding oaks of Low Wood are also rich in wildlife and the autumnal colours are awe-inspiring. The path around Brothers' Water takes you on to historic Hartsop Hall, a 16th century Grade I listed building which is owned by the National Trust. The Hall overlooks Dovedale valley and at its head you'll see one of the steepest cliffs in the Lake District, Dove Crag.
4. Braithwaite to Force Crag Mine
The track is well-drained and smooth, making a steady ascent to Coledale, from where you'll be rewarded with spectacular views of the surrounding hills. The higher you go, the more dramatic the mountain views and Outerside, Eel Crag and Grisedale Pike begin to truly dominate the skyline. National Trust information panels outline the area's history, particularly the zinc, copper, lead and barite mining that dates back to the 1500s. Force Crag was the last working mine in the Lake District and closed in 1991.
5. The Jenkill Hill Path to Skiddaw
Skiddaw is the type of mountain that you draw as a child; steep slopes and a jagged summit. It towers above Keswick and the Jenkin Hill Path, the most popular route to the summit, is well worth the climb. If this is to be your first ascent of a 3000 foot mountain, the route established as a pony trek for Victorian tourists is ideal. It winds its way up the moderate slopes of Jenkin Hill and forges on to the summit using the rounded southeast ridge. This is not mountaineering, unless you want it to be.
6. The Fairfield Horseshoe
The Fairfield Horseshoe takes in all of the peaks that surround Rydal and is probably the most famous of the classic Lake District walks. The level of walking is quite high but after the initial climb to Fairfeld, from the summit plateau of which you will get the best views, the ups and downs are not too severe. The challenge really begins when trying to pick the correct line of descent, for which clear conditions are a must for the novice. The ascent over the eastern ridge crosses Low Pike, High Pike, Dove Crag and Hart Crag, with the western descent taking in Great Rigg, Heron Pike and Nab Scar, returning weary walkers to Ambleside by way of Rydal Hall.

Friday, July 22
New York was never able to get over the hump and overcome its troubles against New Jersey on Friday, as New York fell 5-4 at Union Field after falling behind by three runs in the seventh inning.
New York scored two runs in the seventh on a two-run single by Andrew Gallousis. Still, New York couldn't draw even.
New Jersey was led by Matt Goehrig's hitting. Goehrig went 3-4, drove in one and scored one run. He homered in the fourth inning and singled in the fifth and seventh innings.
David Torres got it done on the mound on the way to a win. He pitched two shutout innings. He struck out one, walked one and surrendered one hit.
Krishan Weber ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with the loss. He lasted just five innings, walked one, struck out five, and allowed four runs.
The bottom of the second saw New York take an early lead, 2-0. Dylan Harrigan started the rally for New York with a single. An error then moved Harrigan from first to second. New York then tacked on more runs when Smith scored on a bases loaded walk by Joseph Matos.
New Jersey didn't relinquish the lead after scoring two runs in the fifth inning when it scored on a fielder's choice and an RBI single by Anthony Delgado.

Just take a deep breath Pats fans, and relax. Everything is going to be OK.
Tom Brady's triumphant return didn't go as planned, but Brady found his stride late in the fourth quarter and was able to pull off the 29th fourth quarter comeback of his career. Brady completed 12-of-14 for 112 yards and two touchdowns in the last 5:32 to give the Patriots the 25-24 win.
However, Brady needed help in the form of a fumble by Leodis McKelvin on a kickoff return with 2:06 remaining. Stephen Gotskowski recovered the fumble and then Brady connected with Ben Watson on a 16-yard touchdown three plays later to give the Pats the lead for good.
Randy Moss and Wes Welker both picked up where they left off with 12 catches a piece. Moss ended the game with a game-high 141 yards while Welker added 93 yards of his own. Meanwhile, on the other side of field, Terrel Owens made only two catches, which is coincidentally the same number of viewers that watched "The T.O. Show." And burn.
Tom Brady silenced any doubters with his stellar fourth quarter comeback against the Bills Monday night. His final stat line looks great, but it was a shaky start for the QB. We'll chalk that up as shaking off the cobwebs and say that Tom Brady will look more like he did in the fourth quarter when he takes on the New York Jets next week.
Tully lined up at DE in 4-3 sets and OLB in 3-4 sets for the Patriots and saw his role increase with the absence of Richard Seymour. In a game where the defense looked very porous at times, Banta-Cain came up with two big sacks, including the one that sealed the Patriots' win.
Fred Jackson torched the Patriots last December and did the same again Monday night. Jackson gained 140 total yards, 83 in the air, and scored a touchdown to give the Bills what they thought was a comfortable 11-point lead with 5:32 remaining.
McKelvin's decision to bring the ball out of the end zone will be talked about as one of the more questionable decisions of the game. If he knees the ball in the end zone, we are talking about a different outcome. Unfortunately for the Bills, McKelvin met Brandon Merriweather and Pierre Woods and the ball found its way into Gostkowksi's arms.
