text: How come when I turn any one of the three flow meters on the ball goes up the tube when you first crack the valve of the tank but then sinks out of site. How can I know what kind of pressure I have at the torch. When I first started to tig I used a machine that the flow meters small ball would float up to about 20 lbs and stay hovering there until you shut off the gas. What is the story with the ones at the shop Am I missing something or are they defective? They are all the same brand and model. Thanks for you time and input.

Okay, I have to watch it now!
Okay, I have to watch it now!
OMG!!!!! I can't believe they did that!!!!!!! Now there isn't really much for me to continue watching since my favorite characters are gone. And yes the time loop is sad, knowing it will never end well for them. If I didn't know the actors were leaving the show, I would be thinking why didn't Simon turn back five minutes before "it" happened and sacrifice himself and then everything would be fine except they would be confused. But then again he would have to go back and complete the tasks he did in S1 and S2.
I'm a huge fan of the show so I was sad to hear that Nathan (Robert Sheehan) wasn't coming back. I don't think it would have hurt his movie career to shoot 8 episodes.
This new season had a rough start to me because Nathan wasn't there, but the new guy Rudy is funny, just not as funny as Nathan lol. Their new powers suck so fucking bad! None of them had a power they could use to defend themselves or save the day. They were all useless.
I couldn't believe after 2 successful seasons they didn't make more than 8 episodes this time! The past few episodes got really good though. That sucked what happened to Alisha. I just hope they get some new bad ass powers for next season.
BTW I'm going to miss Simon's ass, that was the only good thing about his character lol.
"Flipping Dykes I though they were a myth like Weapons of Mass Destruction" Grace Adler.
I kind of hated but kind of loved the ending. The truth is season 3 was kind of a drag... so revamping the story will new cast members will definitely be a positive. And I am happy that the writers kept to their storyline. Simon DID have to go back to the past at one point and I'm glad it happened. Not like Heroes, where Hiro Nakamura appeared in season 1 looking all sorts of cool and then season 2 and 3 dragged on and on and he was nowhere near that future self in season 1.
Looking forward to watching season 4, hope they've got some new kick ass characters with kick ass powers. They probably need a new goody-two-shoes male lead to replace simon, and a hot leading actress to replace alisha.
Give someone power to control weather (like storm) or fire or my ultimate favourite- telekinesis/mind-reading ala Jean Grey.
Just finished watching the series finale of Series 3. I thought they gonna end the series but looks like, the three will be remain in the cast for Series 4. I never liked Simon anyway so it is fine to see him leaving the show. Is just so sad to see Alisha dying. Now the two have to stuck in the endless time loop.
Is nice to have some new characters and new powers. Let's just hope that Kelly stays awesome with Seth.
It was really sad the way this season ended...BUT at least it ended giving us a nice ass shot from Simon! And what a fine ass it is...let's get a screen cap of that huh? lol
MISFITS SEX SCENE : http://www.xvideos.com/video1733588/misf1ts_sex_scene
i am only at series 3 ep 3. the one with peter.so i am trying not to read any information about the other episodes. i really enjoy the show. i think kelly is my favorite character.
"If you can't do something smart,do something right."-Jayne Cobb
EVERYTIME i read Misfits, i think of
I dunno if anyone has noticed or mentioned this but how exactly does Simon know about future Simon? I am on S3E3 and it has yet to explain it. Was it just an oversight by the writers? Sure Simon followed Alisha to future Simon's lair and she told him everything, but that was when they were famous. Curtis went back in time and changed it so that they never became famous, so that never happened. And yet Simon still knows? How does that make sense??
So - the show is confirmed for a fourth season - but without Iwan Rheon (Simon), Antonia Thomas (Alisha) and Lauren Socha (Kelly).
I also assume that no Kelly means no Seth (Matthew McNulty - NOOOOOOO!!)
In any case, Rheon, Thomas and Socha are being replaced by:
Karla Crome and Nathan McMullen (what is it with this show and boys called Nathan?)
Matt Stockoe
I think Matt is kinda hot. Looking forward to the new season, even though it won't have many familiar faces!
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
Misfits just started airing on LOGO in the USA for anyone that wants to watch from the beginning! I think edited airs at 10pm, unedited airs at 1am
I fucking love this show. The writing is so good and the show is unpredictable. I've seen every episode. I know their making an American adaptation and hopefully they don't ruin it
young wild free
Seth is going to a main character so he's gonna be there alot
young wild free
Can't wait. Even if most of the original cast is gone, the teaser still looks great!
Hope Seth comes back.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these, 'It might have been.'
Yup. Just saw Seth in the trailer. Looking forward to it.

Episode 2 is up on Hulu right now.
"Ever slept with a homeless girl before? It's like camping...looking up at all the stars in the night sky, while she sat on my face."
I was so hoping that the probation worker would die a horrible death, but that scene between him and Curtis was a surprise. Was he being honest, or just fucking with Curtis' head?
Im trying to give the new series/season a chance. I was heartbroken over Curtis. I really hate how he died. However, I suspect that I wouldn't have liked any death scenario since I loved him so much.
I like the new cast. I think that they are funny and youthful and I anticipate what they have instore for them. Im dying to see what Alex's (the barman?) power is. Hopefully we will find out next week. Whatever it is, it prevents him form going on dates.

so sad...Curtis was never my favorite but he was the last original Misfit!
Loving the new season anyways
Nooooooo curtis shot himself in the head and fell down a ditch
he killed the fgirl deceiving him
sad sad
I figured Alex's refusal to bang Jess had something to do with his dick, like he ejaculated lasers or acid or something. Then when he started checking out other dude's junk, I thought maybe his power was that he had to suck dicks to survive, like some kind of dick vampire. Hey, this show has done weirder shit than that (as seen in the most recent episode).
Why didn't anyone else outside the gang get numbers on their head? (Aside from that girl that knew the guy on acid?). Was that explained? When Rudy was going to fuck the girl with the bangs, I was expecting that she had a number like 3000 hidden under her hair.
Well Alex had a vagina. That was definately not a guess of mine. Im still waiting for him and Jess to build chemistry. It still seems kind of forced. However, it is gradually getting better.
I also thought that Rudy was going to brush her hair back and be scared off by her number.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"

i hate how they killed of the one dude...he used to have "immortality" but then he sold it and got "magic" or something
why someone would give up "magic" is beyond me
but i didnt really like the vegas thing. If he wanted to get out, all he has to do is barf up a key and BOOM out of prison, then he used magic to pickpocket people for money and make his way back to....wherever he's from :P
i just read what's happend so far on wikipedia in the new season....i dont like this show anymore
the trailer video:
is it about drugs messing up the mind ?
I loved the bit in the Kareoke club with the probation worker. I wonder if that was the actor's real singing voice or an overdub?
I like the new girl, but what the hell is her power?
The pregnant girl could make a killing with her power. Charge big money to women who want a baby and can't conceive, then give a small cut of the profits to a knocked up girl who doesn't want her baby. Presto chango, the woman is pregnant, the girl is not, and you are swimming in money like Scrooge McDuck.
I figured Alex was the type of guy that looks at himself in the mirror during sex. I'm surprised he didn't wink at his reflection. If he starts asking Jess if she likes Phil Collins, she better get the hell out of there before she gets chopped up while Huey Lewis is singing "Hip To Be Square".
Next episode: Killer Nuns!
Dicks and Vaginas all around Misfits this season.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"
― Emeli Sande
I haven't watched yet. I'm gonna start watch it this holidays.
Is it really that good?
I was so looking forward to this episode. I too am a bit dissapointed with the four horsemen. I couldn't get the images that Charmed and Supernatural have instilled in my head and then these four little men show up on bikes.
I was really hoping that Rudy was going to find love. Those scenes were really beautiful. I have to admit that I have developed a crush on Gilgun. He is an amazing talent.
Im not too torn up about Alex and Jess. Their romantic scenes were always off to me, for some reason. I thought that "Evil Rudy" and Jess had better chemistry. I would have liked to see more of that.
As for the semen dripping on to the floor. I wanted to throw up. Why? Just why ?
I forgot that most UK shows only develop 6-8 episodes at a time. I was looking for the previews for episode 9 lol. This new version of Misfits is a work in progress and I know it will take some time to gel the whole thing together. I hope that the next series will be a little better.
Why is Jess so angry ? I wanted to slap her.
Finn must have higher self-esteem
I would like for Rudy to find something positive to invest in.
Will Alex's new lung give him some scruples ?
I want them to give Abbey more! Natasha O'Keeffe is so good in Lip Service.
" For all there is to feel, let it be felt"
― Emeli Sande
Damn. I liked the nun chick. Figures she was going to die.
The cum dripping scene: so gross and so unnecessary.
And what is Abby's fucking power? Seriously, just show us already instead of making us wait for season 5.
Damn. I was hoping Alex died, but having him come back with a power will be interesting.
I'm surprised the social worker made it alive through the season. The previous ones never lasted that long. I hope they get deeper into his story in S5 and explain why he's such angry douche.
The probation worker! How could I have forgotten about him. He is a gem. I think probably the best part about this entire group.
He's strange, but Im loving it.

The Savannah Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously Tuesday to postpone a decision on architect Patrick Shay's variance requests for three controversial downtown projects.
Shay, president of Gunn Meyerhoff Shay Architects and a Chatham County commissioner, was petitioning for variances to increase the lot coverage - the amount of space his buildings and parking lots can take up on the properties - from the 75 percent permitted to 90 percent. Shay's requests for lot area variances for two of the projects were also continued.
James Hansen, Metropolitan Planning Commission development services planner, motioned for the petitions to be continued for 60 days to provide time to study the "existing development patterns" in the Historic District.
Shay did not oppose the motion.
"I did not know that the staff would request the continuances until I got to the meeting and was briefed by MPC staff," Shay said in an e-mail. "I did not object to the continuance, even though we were fully prepared to present. My understanding is that the MPC staff wishes to propose standards for the corridor that are consistent with the Tricentennial Plan recommendations."
The Tricentennial Plan is being developed to shape growth and development for the city and county.
Gary Arthur, president of The Beehive Foundation, planned to speak out against the projects, which would be located near his nonprofit publishing organization's office on Pulaski Square and his residence. Author and other neighbors contend Shay's proposed designs are too large and would ruin the integrity of downtown.
"We had hoped this would come to a head, but it is going to continue for a while," Author said.
Author said he and fellow opponents are not opposed to new buildings, as long as they are appropriately designed.
"We just want developers to respect the historic pattern of the town plan, and stay within zoning ordinances that safeguard the district," Author said.

"Can you sign for this package?" asked the UPS deliveryman as he handed a large package through my car window to where I sat. I made no movement to take the package.
"Just bring it inside." I nodded to the back door of my office, where the deliveries usually are made.
"Oh, c'mon, Did. I'm swamped. Just take the package," he pleaded.
"I'm a little busy right now, Roger," I said, still making no motion to pick up the package.
"Just do me this favor. What's the big deal?"
"The big deal," I said, "is that my hands are a little busy right now holding suction cups to my boobs!"
Roger pulled the package back out from my window, averting his eyes, as if he suddenly were granted the gift of X-ray vision and could miraculously see through the blanket that was covering both me and my breast pump.
I pump breast milk in my car. My office doesn't have a suitable place to pump, so twice a day, I head out to my parking spot at work. I turn on the car battery, plug in my pump, lower the window so I don't die from fumes and pump for 15 minutes.
Over the years, there have to have been a thousand times when I've sat alone in my car with the window down. I swear, up until I attached a machine to my breasts, those moments of privacy always remained private. But now that I have the super-fun daily task of getting hooked up to an alien-esque contraption, every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to yell over the crunching noise of the pump and chat.
Co-workers have leaned their heads through my window and started up conversations without a moment's hesitation. I had a stranger do the same, inquiring whether my car was for sale. Once, a woman opened my door, attempting to forcibly recruit me into finding her runaway dog. And some kid asked me whether he could bum a cigarette. When I told him I don't smoke, he kicked my tires. I considered running after the teenage twerp, but what could I do, threaten to squirt milk in his eye? My breasts aren't Super Soakers, and if they were, I wouldn't have to be hooked up to such a God-awful machine.
My friend Marco says this bizarre attention is caused by a subconscious magnetic attraction to a breast-feeding mammal. "It's biology," he said. "They can sniff you out. No one knows you're breast pumping. They just know they have a desire to talk to you."
This premise is a little disconcerting. What if I'm a culprit, too, and all the women I find myself randomly engaging in conversation with are secretly pumping like me? Any woman sitting alone and wearing a blanket or oversize clothing is now suspect. I always have wanted to carry on a conversation with Judge Judy, and who knows what she's hiding under those robes?!
The sudden influx of Chatty Cathys has been so irritating because trying to feed your child only breast milk when you are a working mom is hard enough as it is. I actively have to work on keeping up my milk supply. I hydrate all day, and it's never I enough. I add flaxseed and brewer's yeast to nearly everything I eat.
And let me tell you, those ingredients are not known for being flavor enhancers. I drink a lactation enhancement tea that makes me smell so much like syrup that I could be mistaken for Mrs. Butterworth. Give it another month and truckers will pull off the highway, thinking my office is a Waffle House.
I hate pumping. And conversations at the pump are the worst. The only awesome thing about pumping at work is that twice a day, I get a 15-minute break. And as a sleep-deprived mom, that's something I cherish.
A couple of weeks ago, I was in my car, battery running, window down, taking my pumping break, and for the first time in a very long time, no one harassed me. No stranger came to my window or even made eye contact while walking by. I was just about to think that my personal pump station on wheels wasn't so bad, when my car battery died.
I needed a jump because of the pump. I could've used a friendly stranger — one with jumper cables.

We love it. And you've voted. See which is the best American beer city.
Last weekend, New York's Brewery Ommegang held their annual Belgium Comes to Cooperstown festival, a weekend-long celebration of Belgian-inspired beers. The brewery, set on an old 140-acre hop farm, was the perfect location for camping, fireworks, live music, a massive screening of "Spinal Tap" and, of course, fine beers from over 50 breweries worldwide.
We took to the tents in search of a few good reasons that Belgian-style beer is some of the best. Here, we've distilled our "research" down into ten not-to-be-missed brews from the festival. Click through to see our favorites!

And the fact is that things are pretty damned good in this country. You wouldn't have to go very far back in time to find an era where the very notion that the biggest health problem facing the impoverished would be obesity would be considered ludicrous, unimaginable fantasy, and yet here we are. It's pretty hard to go hungry in the United States; one can feed oneself quite well here (on food made for humans) on very little income.
But there are still some who need help, and private charities do a much better job of helping them than government programs do. Furthermore, Americans as a people are unwilling to see citizens suffer from poverty, and Americans as a people regrettably have the legal authority to institute those inefficient (and, to the extent they rely on seized money, immoral) government programs. If we want to avoid having the government arrogate more and more authority to itself, it behooves those of us in a position to be charitable to be charitable.
Sneering at the hungry merely helps to perpetuate a stereotype of conservatives as cold-hearted.

A lot of people were inspired by candidate and then President Obama. I was one of them. After watching him gain momentum in the primaries in 2008, thanks to his position on the war in Iraq, and then defeating Hillary Clinton and Senator McCain, I watched him squander the most political capital that a person could hope for.
I watched again and again, issue after issue, the president not only cede negotiating positions to the Republican party, but never even had starting points in negotiations that his supporters imagined he would. The key word here is "imagined".
I had never imagined that we were on the brink of a true universal health care system. I just thought he might at least bring it up. I never imagined that he would truly bring U.S.troops home from Iraq. I just didn't think he would actually try to extend the deadline that Bush had set. The one thing that I did expect him to do he did. He did allow unlimited travel to Cuba by people with relatives there. But unfortunately, he has maintained all of the programs that we spend millions of dollars on to undermine the Cuban government. I think it would be easier than most people think to go a lot farther and establish relations with Cuba since the times of Kennedy. There would be no personal political risk, which of course is the main calculation in the minds of politicians like him.
But what we are witnessing this week should turn the stomachs of decent people. The absolutely unbalanced military pounding being applied to the Palestinian people in Gaza. Hamas apparently has a military wing because its chief was assassinated by an Israeli air strike earlier this week, but I've not seen any images of an actual Palestinian military. Rockets and some machine guns can hardly be called a military in today's world and anyone who tries to claim that the fight is balanced is simply lying.
Watching Obama's administration answer the questions of violence by Israel by stating that they stand by Israel's right to defend themselves, as if the violent occupiers have been sucker punched and become victims by the people they seem to be determined to occupy. It's disgusting and disgraceful. It's also why Israel acts as disconnected to reality as the Obama administration when the United Nations votes to condemn the embargo of Cuba... another embarrassing stance that Obama decides to stick with.
Obama inspired me and these are events that reinforce my certainty. He inspired me to finally un-register from the Democrat party, which I had already believed for some time had not been a good fit for me. He also inspired me to vote for the Green party candidate for president on November 6 of this year.
He has done so much as president to have left me quite inspired. Hopefully others will be inspired too. For that I say to President Obama, "Great job."

This is another piece that I got from my Grandfather, who attended all kinds of golf tournaments throughout the years. This is a ticket from the final round of the Goodall/Palm Beach Round Robin Championship from 1950. It was held at the Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, New York. I was able to find that Lloyd Mangrum (1914-1973) won the event. Sam Snead finished 8th and Ben Hogan 11th. It's in pretty good shape for being 62 years old.

I did mention that I am restarting my IS project.....
Story focus more on female characters (probably bringing back Ayara and co as the outcast).
Female characters are like performers while Male characters are more like stagehand, working on chaotic backstage (chaotic because of angry mobs).
Male Lead belongs to a company which just enter the whole IS business. The company created new technology (Genome) which allow Mass Production IS to have performance equal to first shift IS. Equalizer that remembers and optimized itself to suit the pilot.
Whole point of above is to allow normal Pilots to have a chance against Rep.
One of the company's greatest technology is One-off nullifier which negate one-hit kill weapons such as Yukihira.
As a gag: Reason for staying in a Plushie: The male lead and his development teams are hiding from angry mob for making better technology for IS. Their alternative is suicide which one of them did (Creator of the Equalizer technology).
>Normal name for Male lead
-keep claiming wanted to take over the world but too lazy to actually do it.
-relatively Nice guy.....just not very polite.
>Normal goal for the company, Their motto: "We love money, so just give us yours already!"
- Notoriously brutally honest (which is why people trust them when it come to the quality of their product quality. They don't lie about it.)
- Most of the employees are females
Working on female characters
- Normal in the head compared to Ayara's party.
Also working Fun stuff:
Built in defiance against IS:
Trying to squeeze as much Phallic symbols into a single machine....(but will try to justify them!)
It is clearly over-compensating something... and somehow, manage to beat all the canon characters.....
To protect the pilot from being attack from their "weak point", additional defensive is added with the unfortunate implication of making the crotch area long and spiky.
Head is rounded for special 360 sensors.
The Gun is long and large because it need enough firepower to penetrate IS defense.
Pump-action because it is technically a shotgun.
Close range weapon is a pump-action Sword which vibrates (the pumping action build up power....)
Ball shaped stuff attached to the swords is energy grenade that doubles as power source for the sword.
Long tail for balance and as additional penetrating weapons.
Snake-naming theme.
Long antenna for commanding drones.
The male pilot is a dick.
Reason for not mass producing it: It is still a prototype and its aesthetic design really need help....
lots of it.

If you mean nanomaterial, I use it, IT IS part of what made I.S. advanced, whether it's about the engineering or electronics.
If you're talking about 'magic' metal, no, I didn't.

Uh... can, can you please not come with BANG BANG BANG + MIND SCREW like that?.

I have... 'few unhealthy discussion' with Meister about it, the result is me having a total seizure for 72 hours and Meister not being Meister for a week straight.
EDIT: Main canon example is Tatenashi's nanomachines are virtually this, by a nutshelll, because it use Image Interface System to control.

^ THIS I can understand, dude. And conversion from word... is imperfect, hence my confusion.
Actually, I can see spoofing manly I.S. as funny, just be sure to play around with comedy and stick with it until you drop the WHAM hammer to avoid unwanted accusation
Or alternative, make the character unusually serious that everyone mock him for it, or having him trapped in embarrassing/unmanly situation.

It is not just spoofing manly IS... because it is spoofing manly OC who appear out of nowhere and instantly pwn everybody despite the fact that being new to IS means he has no experience in IS battle what-so-ever. Actual IS combat is different from normal Combat since you can be attack from all sides including top and bottom.
The manly OC is kind of like Takamatsu from Angel Beat(only less awesome). He think that he is awesome when he is not and strip for no apparent reason. He has a crush on an IS pilot who eventually filed restraining orders on him.
As for the story itself... I try to give it an imagery of a stage performance, it would be split into two side: Front Stage and Back Stage. Front-stage is for the performers (AKA IS pilots and their lives) and Backstage is for the Stagehands(Maintenance and Developers..etc) where all the bullshit happens. Bullshit such as Politics (remember that concept about Kanzashi being Japanese Rep due to her family pulling string from the background? Backstage is the background and Politics tend to get on the nerves of some IS developers. Also, it is hard to improve technology with Angry mobs, Tabane's trolling (Wham!4th gen while others are struggling on 3rd), Political interference and Phantom Task).

*shrug* Writing style is integral to me. But I still read well plotted though not so richly written material. Your problem lies more on making everything breathing a hardass and even in comedic or softer momkents it can still feel like a military drill. Your plotting and world setting is great. Concept formation enviable.
I'm still running around like a headless chicken torn between a thesis, project to be publicly presented(not as grand as it sounds) and plotting cake eater.

And using what looks like a brainchild of Exo-Frames and Evangelion, and actual offshoot from VT System.
It doesn't generate parts and weapon on a whim, instead, it 'digest' raw material to repair it's internal parts and produce external parts in few hour within it's bulky backpack, the pilot will take those parts out and install it themselves. In one occasion it ate a freaking golem core, even, though instead of assimilating it, it simply modified the core to replace it's own less advanced core (which is ejected from the backpack)

IOC Likes What Tokyo 2016 Has To Offer
April 20, 2009: Tokyo 2016 is now officially off the clock after a six-day visit by International Olympic Committee Evaluation Commission, which is on a four-city tour to help determine the host venue for the Summer Olympics in seven years. "[We were] most impressed by what Tokyo could offer to the Olympic Games," IOC Evaluation Commission chair Nawal El Moutawakel said during a press conference on April 20. "[Tokyo is] a dynamic city, where sport plays such a key part in people's lives." As part of its presentation, the Tokyo 2016 committee told the IOC it expects to generate revenues of $2.89 billion (U.S.) "through a combination of local sponsorship and official suppliers, ticket sales, licensing, IOC contribution, donations, commission revenue" and elsewhere. The Japanese Olympic Committee announced six new gold partners for its new top sponsorship category. Official corporate partners include Japan Airlines, Ban-Dai, Yahoo! Japan and Asics. Tokyo's plan is to have 97% of competition venues within a five-mile radius of the Olympic Village. "We were very impressed by the vision [of Tokyo 2016]," El Moutawakel said at the press conference. The IOC Evaluation Commission visited Chicago earlier this month and next goes to Rio de Janeiro (April 29) and then Madrid (May 5). The IOC will vote on a 2016 venue in October. Back to Home Page

We haven't even hit the rebuilding stage yet and we are in cap hell.
It's going to be a long few years.
Those 3rd and 1 runs today and 4th and 1 runs were more prideful calls than smart calls. This whole "ground and pound" thing is terrible when you don't open up the running game by taking shots downfield. I know its only pre season but the idea that we're going to be a power running team without a O line that is opening gaps, taking shots downfield to open up the running game and loosen the D, & having an RB to really be effective .... is scaring me. Our running game took 3-4 weeks to get going 2 years ago, it sucked last year, and we're just trying to enforce this identity again so Rex can get his clock management thing working. We don't have a Ray Rice or a RB unit with power runners and quick hole hitting guys. McKnight isn't proven, Greene isn't a featured back he's a change of pace guy, & Powell is less proven than McKnight.
I know we were missing all our receivers today but just off the eye test .... we're not physically dominating the way Rex & the staff expected, running as effective, or even taking shots downfield in a smart way to loosen up the D. Its only pre season so I won't even glance at the panic button but I'm already thinking I'm going to be looking for it sooner than I thought.
We haven't even hit the rebuilding stage yet and we are in cap hell.
It's going to be a long few years.
If we had an offense that resembled a "real" NFL offense our defense would be the best in the league. Our FO is slowly destroying this team by replacing talent with crap. We went from Braylon Edwards to Plaxico Burress to Chaz Shillens. Meanwhile NE has 6 NFL starting WR's not including their TE's.
We go from aquiring a pro-bowl talent for our line 3 years ago and then do nothing to upgrade it this offseason. ANY NFL team lives on their offensive line. Give either Manning brother our O-line and they would just like Sanchez. So damn sad considering our D is decent. Jets are going to be the 2011 Browns.
While I still see the Jets as the third best team in the afc east.
It's still only pre-season!!!
Once the real games start-Things could go differently
Jets D could keep them in games until their offense develops a pulse.
I'de temper expectations early in the season but you just need to be playing better at the end of the year to have a shot.
Curious to see what happens on opening day with our OL facing Buffalo's dominant DL. Sanchez will be running for his life.
I didn't think it was possible. But our offense actually looks worse than last year's. Absolutely nothing was done in the offseason to fix the obviously gaping gaps on offense. It's not just hunter although he is a big part of the problem. Sanchez not making any throws. No playmaker on offense.
No way we will be able to ground and pound with this inept O line. I think we will break the record for most three and outs in a season.
Oh and wait till Holmes comes back. Once we start piling up losses, watch him quit on this team.
I have absolutely no hope for this offense. How are we gonna improve? Is hunter going to suddenly start playing like a real nfl caliber OT? Is Sanchez going to start playing and making throws more than 10 freaking yards? Where is the help coming from?
We could blame last year's issues on the shortened preparation time. But this year, I have no reason to believe that we will turn this thing around...
We need a miracle from God... tebow??.. Yeah right...
This is funny that i as a pats fan will be talking you guys off the ledge. You are no worse as a team than you were last year on offense. On Defense you should even be better.
You guys just drank too much kool-aid thinking that the oline switching from a ZBS to a on one one inline block scheme was going to be a smooth transition. Likewise a change in the offensive scheme, While you may not have like Schoty's playbook and game calling it was familiar and there was no big learning curve at training camp.
One thing I can fault the jets for is giving Tebow all these reps in practice. This has to stop this week! Sanchez needs the reps and the oline needs one type of qb to block for.
ground and pound, baby. rex is stuck in the 80's
this is a 5-11 team at best, we'll be starting "Let's Draft So and so ..." threads by Halloween
I wouldn't be surprised if the Eagles wax NE on Monday...not going to worry about it.
It's only pre-season...the Jets defense looks solid and the offense is a work in progress.
I'm telling you, I don't start getting encouraged/discouraged until about 6 weeks into regular season.
Those runs to Connor won't happen in the regular season. Short yardage will be Tebow Time! C'Mon man, it's preseason... chill. Jets aren't showing any o the real playbook yet.

If Youk is gone, that leaves a gaping hole in the 2 spot, and it seems that it would be more cost effective to get an average speed/on-base guy to lead off (with DeAza at #2) than it would be to get an above-average contact hitter with some speed and a little pop. I've mentioned Polanco and Keppinger as lower cost alternatives for 3B/#2 in other posts, but I'd hope for someone younger and better going down the road.
Dunn seems to do better in #3, leave him there. Pretty doubtful that he's moved, but it would solve a ton of issues.
Paul at #4 and Rios at #5 are set for another year.
Alexei at #6 could be a good trade chip, especially if the Sox think Carlos Sanchez is ready.
#7-9 Viciedo, Flowers and Beckham are the prime trade chips. If the Sox can improve run production (not just a few homers and little else) in the lower half of the order, that would make a big difference. I doubt Flowers will be given a full-time role unless he can hit better, and has a better chance of being moved than sticking as a full-time regular.
Would love A.J. to come back and plug a hole for a year, but that doesn't sound too likely right now.
This thread is basically about improving the team's obp. You want to accomplish that by getting rid of Dunn and Flowers while keeping AJ?

Sunshine State rivals square off in ACC action this weekend, as the 12th-ranked Florida State Seminoles make the short trip south to take on the Miami-Florida Hurricanes at Sun Life Stadium.
Jimbo Fisher's Seminoles had their perfect season come to an end with a humbling 17-16 loss at NC State two weeks ago. FSU got back to its winning ways this past weekend though, moving to 6-0 overall and 3-1 in ACC play with a dominant 51-7 drubbing of Boston College.
Al Golden's Hurricanes have played to mixed reviews in 2012. The team sits at 4-3 overall, but holds a 3-1 mark in-conference, good for the top spot in the ACC's Coastal Division. Miami however, comes into this contest with a two-game slide in tow, falling to Notre Dame (41-30) and most recently, North Carolina (18-14).
Still, Golden expressed his desire for his team to keep pressing forward after the UNC loss.
"There's a lot to learn from this game, there's no question. We made too many critical errors to win the game, some of them I mentioned already. We have to continue to learn and grow, said Golden following the loss. "We're playing a lot of guys that are learning. They have to continue to grow. Sometimes when you play guys before they're ready, they can have negative reinforcement and we can't have that right now. We have to keep pushing them forward and be positive. They're playing a tough schedule, and it's not getting any easier this week. We have a rival coming in here, we have to get rested up tomorrow, shake it off and get ready to go. We just have to keep going."
This marks the 57th all-time meeting between these two rivals. The Hurricanes hold a 31-25 series advantage, but Florida State has won two straight and five of the last seven meetings, overall.
Florida State's offense doesn't get the credit that the defense does, but the unit has far exceeded expectations this year. The key has been success in the running game. The Seminoles are averaging 46.0 ppg, on 530.6 yards of total offense, with the rushing attack responsible for 233.1 yards of that.
Tailback Chris Thompson has been the top performer on the ground, amassing 640 yards and five TDs on 7.6 yards per carry. James Wilder Jr. is also a integral part of the backfield, netting 6.0 yards per carry and scoring six times.
Quarterback EJ Manuel has gone a little under the radar in terms of national notoriety, but has played impressively thus far, completing 72.1 percent of his passes, for 1,804 yards, with 14 touchdown and just four interceptions.
Not many teams are getting it done defensively like Florida State. The Seminoles rank fourth nationally in scoring defense (11.6 ppg), third in total defense (222.0 ypg), while placing fifth against the run (74.9 ypg) and sixth against the pass (147.11 ypg).
The loss of All-ACC defensive end Brandon Jenkins has been assuaged by the play of rush ends Cornellius Carradine (41 tackles, 8.0 TFLs, 7.0 sacks) and Bjoern Werner (21 tackles, 10.0 TFLs, 6.5 sacks). Linebacker Christian Jones (39 tackles) and cornerback Xavier Rhodes (22 tackles, two interceptions) headline the play in the back seven.
The Hurricanes have been plagued with offensive inconsistency this season, showing flashes of big play ability coupled with long stretches of stagnant play. The team is fueled by the passing game this season, which is netting just under 300 yards per game (296.9).
Quarterback Stephen Morris has been a big part of the success, but has also been the primary reason for the offensive failures, completing just 57.5 percent of his passes, for 1,991 yards, with nine TDs against six INTs. Morris injured his ankle against the Tar Heels and was unable to return to the game. He is listed as doubtful for this week and if he can't go, redshirt sophomore Ryan Williams is likely to get the start.
Tailbacks Duke Johnson (428 yards and five TDs) and Mike James (402 yards, four TDs) give the team a solid one-two punch in the backfield, while Phillip Dorsett (32 receptions, 503 yards, three TDs) and Rashawn Scott (27 receptions, 431 yards, two TDs) do the same in the receiving corps.
The Miami defense has struggled this season, especially against the run, where foes are netting 253.7 yards per game on a hefty 5.1 yards per carry. The team on the year is allowing a generous 32.3 ppg, on 506.6 yards of total offense. Big plays have also been hard to comes by, with Miami recording just seven sacks over the first six games.
Defensive end Shayon Green leads the defensive unit in stops with 42 tackles. Linebackers Eddie Johnson (39 tackles) and Denzel Perryman (35 tackles, team- high 6.0 TFLs) follow.
Fisher knows the importance of this rivalry for the team and fan base.
"That's one of the big games you're here at Florida State for," said Fisher on the team's website this week. "That's always one of the great rivalries in college football. A lot of history, a lot of tradition. It means a lot to us, I know that. That's one you have to be aware of. It's a battle and it's a lot of history in it, tradition in it. It's always a battle when FSU and Miami play. It means a lot to the people here; it means a lot to the players that played here and it's always a great game."

Tales of Hyspero by Paul Magrs is a new novel series from Simon & Schuster's Children's Books. Recognize the name? That's because Hyspero is the planet from the BBC Doctor Who novel "The Scarlet Empress" that Magrs wrote, and now he's setting this new series on that magical planet. "Hyspero is a huge world," says Magrs. "Really huge. In Hyspero, there's a fabulous mix of the weird and the utterly everyday. It's funny and has lots of creatures in it. Evil sloths! Acrobatic super-intelligent foxes! Widescreen lizards! It's a book about REAL kids discovering a magical land. Not the made-up kind of well-behaved kids that no reader ever believes in." The first book is entitled A World of Her Own and is due out in September.

Navarro: Elbow on Ronaldo was unintentional
Levante defender David Navarro said he did not intend to hurt Cristiano Ronaldo after his leading elbow caught the Real Madrid forward in the face and opened a nasty gash above his left eye in Sunday's La Liga match.
Ronaldo initially played on after being patched up on the side of the pitch and scored Real's 21st-minute opener in a 2-1 victory. But he had to be replaced at halftime after suffering problems with his vision.
"It was an accident, at no time did I try to cause harm to Cristiano Ronaldo," Navarro, who has a history of violent conduct, said on Levante's website.
"These are things that happen during a game and I regret having wounded him, but I repeat that it was something completely involuntary," the 32-year-old added.
Navarro had contacted Ronaldo on Monday to ask after his well-being and wish him a speedy recovery, Levante said.
Marca sports daily and other Spanish media published videos on their websites on Monday showing previous incidents involving Navarro, including a mass brawl he was involved in after a Champions League game between his former club Valencia and Inter Milan in March 2007.
Navarro punched Inter midfielder Nicolas Burdisso in the face, breaking his nose, and was banned for seven months by governing body UEFA.
Other incidents include an horrific studs-up challenge on former Real Madrid midfielder Luis Figo and an off-the-ball stamp on Barcelona forward Lionel Messi's ankle.
Ronaldo will miss Portugal's friendly in Gabon on Wednesday as a result of the wound, the country's football federation (FPF) said on Monday.

He can be our main running back while splitting carries with Powell and McKnight. He's a legit #1 and he runs as hard as anyone in the league. Versatile guy who can block and stats don't show his true value. Get him ...
Yes he has foot problems but we managed Landry exceptionally well this past season. Bradshaw is worth adjusting for like Landry was. He would be huge for the offense ...
No. Just no.
not for nothing but Bradshaw is still better than any back currently on our roster
How could he be the main running back and split carries with two other guys?
Let's get Randy Moss too
Better yet ... Lets sign TERRY Bradshaw ... He's about as useful.
I like Bradshaw's toughness and 4.5ish yards per carry. But the guy fumbles (3 lost this past season; 10 over the past 3 seasons), is hurt often and will cost more than Powell and a rookie RB draft pick combined. Not needed.
Chronic foot problems. Coming off surgery.
If they do, promise you'll change your name to AhmadIMnotDONE?
I'm not a Giant hater as many of you in NY/NJ understandably are, and I love all football so I catch as many games as I can, and the one thing that many people are missing in their analysis of Bradshaw is just how much of a malcontent the guy is.
Normally, I'm all for a guy who just wants to win, even at the expense of being a jerk (see my numerous posts about Jay Cutler)...but on a rebuilding team like ours, with youngsters and no decisive leader, it doesn't make sense to have a jerk RB (much different than a jerk QB) up in age and mileage, with serious injury concerns, looking for some good money.
Add in the fact that this is a very good draft class for a WCO RB in later rounds, and its a no-brainier to pass on him, even if he is decisively better than anyone currently on the team.
The RB class in this year's draft is strong. So what should we do? Sign an overrated, injury-prone back who will probably want more money than we can afford.
Stop it already.
Every time a player, who has seen success in some form, is cut from another team - people on this forum insist the Jets should sign him to solve that particular position problem on the team.
Why should the Jets acquire other teams' garbage?
Alex Smith makes more sense than Bradshaw, and Smith is a bad, knee-jerk idea as well.
Truth is, the team is awful. It needs a major overhaul. Even if you brought in Peyton Manning, there would be tremendous issues left open.
Jets are in rebuilding mode. Look at the draft, and work hard to improve yourself.

|Note from "Stooge"
MAKE CERTAIN you read the Questions and Answers below!
First and foremost, I'd like to thank BertoSan for taking time (in his semi-retired days) to work on the new IRC system and to write up the majority of the instructions below. If you have any questions with the new system, please direct them to Bertosan as he has graciously agreed to act as a full admin of the IRC channel. (We all knew he could not completely stay away, now did we not?)
We are pleased to announce we have finally set up a new Mibbit/IRC chat client which will replace both the one we have currently on the forums AND the ventrilo text chat.
The vent text chat access to ventrilo was revoked from all users at Noon Eastern time on Saturday, November 13th..
Users who want to text chat can now access the chat via the following link:
http://mibbit.com/?channel=%23DSwikidot ... mibbit.net
As you will be able to see from the page that loads, you will be prompted to input a user name of your choice. It is recommended, for the sake of everyone knowing who you are from the forums, that you put a user name that is similar to, if not identical to, your forum user name. Of course this is only a recommendation, not a requirement.
The chat room has already been inputted for you.
Once you hit "Go" the server will connect you straight through to the chat room.
This next part is rather important so please read carefully.
When you have entered the chat room with a user name that is to your liking, you will need to register that user name by typing the following:
- Code: Select all
/ns register <password> <email>
<password> is a password of YOUR choice. One that you will remember. When you type your password in, leave out the <>
<Email> This is your personal email. Please use an ACTUAL email address that you can log into because it will be sending you a confirmation that you must complete. Again, leave out the <> when entering your Email address.
Once you have done this, it will tell you to check your email for verification of your password. Do so and it will tell you EXACTLY what to input into the chatroom to validate your password.
Every time from now on that you enter the chat, you will need to type
- Code: Select all
/ns identify <password>
This will set up your nickname so that you are recognized owner and no one else can use that nickname without the password. If you do not do enter the password for a registered nickname, the system boots you off that name after 1 minute.
Why is this important?:
Several reasons why this is an important factor to being a part of this server
1) This will ensure that every time you enter the chat room, you will be able to use your nickname. If someone feels like being a jerk, or even if someone just likes your name and you haven't registered it, they may take that nickname and there will be NOTHING you can do about it. Nor will we be able to.
2) This will protect you from a sort of "identity theft" situation. Not in the financial sense, but in the sense that once you have connected yourself to a user name, it is how we will know you. IF you don't register it someone can come in and sign in as you and they could start flaming/trolling users, which would make others think it was you. However, if you register your nickname and they try to do so, it will boot them off of the nickname after only 1 minute. Thus telling us all that it was not truly you.
Question and Answer:
What are the benefits of this new chat and how is it different than the current situation?
As MANY of you figured out rather quickly, the old chat system was composed of two separate chats. A ventrilo chat server that was available for download, and a thread-type chat room that was linked directly to the forum. Having these two separate chat rooms made it so not all users were able to talk to one another. Those that were able to download vent, had the vent, those that weren't were only able to use the chat system we had in place which was more or less dead. This new chat system has, in a sense, combined the two chat rooms into one. You will see all of the users who used to go on Ventrilo in this chat room. It is a way of getting instant response for questions/needs in the game. Many of the people who are now in this chat room are avid PvPers for those that enjoy that aspect of the game. But do not think that it is limited for solely that purpose. The opportunities of this new chat client are endless for the world of Demon's Souls
Another big benefit is not only can you use the webclient to chat which means no need to install a 3rd party application, but if you would prefer to use a 3rd party application there are IRC clients for every operating system out there, even for many mobile devices as well.
I was a member of the Ventrilo Server. What happened to it? Is it down for good?
The ventrilo server is still currently up and running. The only difference is it is no longer used as a chat client. The ability for users to text chat on the ventrilo server has been removed. Voice operations are still available for the users who wish to take advantage of that option. We would recommend you come to the IRC text chat first, to find someone you want to voice chat with. It will make things easier. Also, if you need an account setup on Vent, please come to the IRC system and let one of the operators know (if there are any online) and they can go into vent and setup your account.
Are there any other options to access this client other than the webchat url provided?
There are several other FREE options that if you are interested in, someone in the chat room that has them will be more than happy to help you find those options and download them and set them up if you wish.
Does this work on all browser programs?
This has been tested on Firefox and Internet explorer and, Yes it works the same on both parts.
Because this is a third party server, there are alternate and extra TOS added on to what we do here on the forums. You will be held responsible for the same rules and guidelines that there are on the forum, however in addition, Mibbit has their own TOS that you must also adhere to.
http://www.mibbit.com/tos.html Please read these as ignorance of these rules are NOT exemption from disciplinary action.

BEIRUT — The battle for Syria's second-largest airport intensified Saturday as government troops tried to reverse recent strategic gains the rebels have made in the northeast in their quest to topple President Bashar Assad.
Assad's forces have been locked in a stalemate with rebels in Aleppo since July when the city, the largest in Syria, became a major battlefield in the two-year-old conflict the United Nations says has killed at least 70,000 people.
For months, rebels have been trying to capture the international airport, which is closed because of the fighting.
Rami Abdul-Rahman, director of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights activist group, said the current fighting was focused on a section of a highway linking the airport with Aleppo, the commercial hub of the nation.
The rebels have cut off the highway, which the army has been using to transport troops and supplies to a military base within the airport complex. Rebels have made other advances in the battle for the airport in recent weeks, including overrunning two army bases along the road to the airport.
The rebels also control large swaths of countryside outside Aleppo and whole neighborhoods inside the city, which is carved up into areas controlled by the regime and others held by rebels.
Months of heavy street fighting has left whole neighborhoods of the storied city in ruins.
On Friday, regime forces fired three missiles into a rebel-held area in eastern Aleppo, hitting several buildings and killing 37 people, according to the Observatory. Some bodies were recovered from the rubble of apartments flattened in the strike, which apparently involved ground-to-ground missiles.
A similar attack on Tuesday in another impoverished Aleppo neighborhood killed at least 33 people, almost half of them children.
In Damascus, government forces shelled several rebellious suburbs Saturday as part of their efforts to dislodge opposition fighters who have used the towns and villages surrounding the capital as a staging ground for their attempts to push into the center of the city.
Recent rebel advances in the suburbs, combined with the bombings and three straight days of mortar attacks earlier this week, marked the most sustained challenge to the heart of Damascus, the seat of Assad's power.
A suicide car bombing on Thursday near the ruling Ba'ath Party headquarters in central Damascus killed 53 people and wounded more than 200, according to state media. Antiregime activists put the death toll at 61, which would make it the deadliest bombing of the revolt in the capital.
The different tolls could not be reconciled.
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack. Car bombs and suicide attacks have been a hallmark of Jabhat al-Nusra, an Islamist militant group that is one of the myriad factions fighting on the rebel side.
Nusra fighters, the most effective group on the battlefield, have led assaults on military installations and control swaths of territory in the north, including parts of Aleppo.
The fighting has increasingly taken on sectarian overtones with members of Syria's Sunni Muslim majority dominating the rebel ranks, who are fighting Assad's regime that is mostly made up of Alawites, an offshoot Shi'ite group.
Efforts to stop the bloodshed in Syria have failed, leaving the international community at a loss of how to end the civil war.
Russia, one of Assad's closest allies, and the Arab League proposed on Wednesday to broker talks between the Syrian opposition and Assad's regime. Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem of Syria will lead a delegation to Moscow on Monday, and Russia had been expecting a visit in March from opposition leader Mouaz al-Khatib.

Chris Davis' two-run single in the 12th inning was the difference, as Baltimore outlasted Boston, 5-3, in the middle test of a three-game series.
Matt Wieters doubled twice and drove in two, while Brian Roberts added two hits and an RBI for the Orioles, who have taken three in a row and four of five.
T.J. McFarland (2-1) tossed a scoreless 11th and Jim Johnson did the same in the bottom of the 12th for his 47th save as Baltimore crept within a game of Texas for the final AL wild card spot as the Rangers fell in extra innings to Tampa Bay.
David Ortiz hit a two-run shot and Mike Napoli added a solo blast for the Red Sox, who could have at least clinched a playoff berth with a victory coupled with the Indians' loss to Kansas City.
Boston's magic number for clinching the AL East remained at three, after the Rays' victory.
Franklin Morales (2-2) was charged for three hits and the winning runs over two relief innings.
In the 12th, J.J. Hardy hit a one-out single and moved up on a Roberts base hit. Both men advanced on a wild pitch and pinch-hitter Steve Pearce was walked intentionally to load the bases, but Manny Machado fouled out. Davis' single up the middle scored two and provided the Orioles with a 5-3 edge. Morales recovered to pick Davis off at first, but the damage was done.
"Anytime you're in a game like that, you want to be the guy that gets the hit," said Davis. "Whether it's a squirter up the middle or a home run or whatever it is."
Johnson gave up a leadoff hit to Jarrod Saltalamacchia, who was erased on a fielder's choice grounder by Dustin Pedroia, and Pedroia was thrown out at second on a Jackie Bradley dribbler back to the mound. Ortiz then grounded to second to end the contest.
Ortiz reached the seats in right with one down in the home first, one batter after Shane Victorino was aboard thanks to a single.
Boston loaded the bases on an infield hit, bunt single and base hit that reached the outfield to start the third, but no runs resulted as Napoli lined out to short and Jonny Gomes hit into an inning-ending double play.
Danny Valencia singled to start the fifth and scored when Wieters doubled to center, and the O's catcher crossed the plate two batters later on Roberts' double.
Nick Markakis kept the Baltimore sixth alive with a single, moved up on a Valencia base hit and scored on Wieters' ground-rule double over the low wall in right to give Baltimore a one-run edge.
Napoli's blast to center to kick off the home half tied the game, 3-3, but the Sox eventually stranded two against Francisco Rodriguez later in the frame.
Boston left two on in the 11th, as Stephen Drew hit into a 4-6-3 double play.
"I felt like we hit a lot of balls hard, I think it was 17 hits or something but we just couldn't get that big hit," said Red Sox catcher David Ross.
Game Notes
The Orioles played in their 114th errorless game of the season, eclipsing the 2008 Houston Astros for the most in the majors in the modern era ... Baltimore starter Wei-Yin Chen gave up 11 hits and three runs while striking out five in 5 2/3 innings, while Boston's Jake Peavy worked seven innings and allowed six hits and three runs, fanning eight ... The Red Sox fell to 10-6 in extra innings this season ... Victorino left the game with a jammed thumb ... Sox fans were treated to "Dollar Beard Night," where any customer with a beard -- real or otherwise -- attended the game for $1.

The Hard-Shell Ghurka
There are a lot of steamer trunks out there, but if you're going post-colonial, you can't do better than the Ghurka bag. (Sorry, Wes.)
We don't mean the softer bags they're selling nowadays—although they aren't bad for starters. We mean the hard-shell cases that used to be cobbled together by a grizzled Italian craftsman…that is, until he died and turned the whole line into collector's items. These days, a complete set will cost you a couple month's salary, but it's worth it for the old world touches you wouldn't find anywhere else.
From the perfectly tanned leather to the impeccable stitching and metalwork, this is the genuine article so many other hard shell cases are imitating. It'll take some legwork to find your own set, but it should be more than worth it.

How Do Developers Handle Moral Dilemmas? 268
If this were a clear cut case of pornography, my choice would be simple; but that is not the case. I do still hold myself to certain standards and believe in the value of integrity and I would also like to do work that my family and friends can be proud of (or at least work that I could show them). However, I would also like to keep my job and would not want to put my small company of very nice people in a difficult position (as the deadline is not so far off)."

New York City reporters have spoken with the ex-con wanted in the hit-and-run deaths of a Brooklyn couple and their baby, but the NYPD can't catch him.
"I don't know if this is a game or what," Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said today, referring to Julio Acevedo, 44, the sole suspect in the fatal car crash. "We are actively looking for him. We're not waiting for him to turn himself in."
Acevedo on Tuesday spoke to reporters from WABC-TV and the New York Daily News on the phone and said he planned to turn himself in after getting a lawyer.
"We're told he has an attorney, but we have not spoken to an attorney," Kelly said.
Police said they questioned a man described as Acevedo's friend who helped facilitate the reporters' interviews.
Acevedo told WABC on Tuesday that he was fleeing gunfire when he drove his car into the livery cab carrying Nachman Glauber and his pregnant wife Raizel, both 21, around 12:30 a.m. Sunday. They were on their way to a hospital.
Nachman Glauber died instantly and Raizel Glauber and their unborn child were rushed to an emergency room. The mother died after delivering the baby via C-section and the baby boy died Monday morning.
"This why I am willing to turn myself in, because my heart goes out to all of those people that's feeling like I'm so much of a bad guy and I'm really not. I did not know that occurred until I seen the news. Once I seen the news, I said I have to get my attorney ready before I turn myself in," he said.
Although Acevedo claims he was fleeing gunfire at the time of the crash, police said they have found no evidence of shots fired.
Kelly said the NYPD is reconstructing the accident scene in order to build a case against Acevedo.
Acevedo has a lengthy criminal history, including manslaughter and drunk driving.

Here's a list of his 166 movies. How many of them have you seen? I've got to say I've managed to steer clear of de Laurentiis films. Other than "La Strada" and "Nights of Cabiria" — 2 of my favorite films, directed by Fellini — the only one I've seen — and we watched it for a laugh — is "Conan the Barbarian."
I never saw the de Laurentiis remake of "King Kong," which was filmed in New York City in 1976. I was living there then, and I remember the open invitation to anyone to come down to Lower Manhattan to be in the crowd scene. I considered going but didn't. I read this article in the NYT on June 22, 1976:
Drawn by 1930's nostalgia and 1976 excitement, a horrified crowd of more than 5,000 New Yorkers surged past police lines at the World Trade Center last night on cue and fought its way to the spot where a giant gorilla lay dead after a 110-story fall from the North Tower.Ah! The unreachable past! When the the death was fake and not even human. What absurd fun we had!
The ape, constructed of styrofoam covered with horse hair and bleeding a mixture of Karo syrup and vegetable coloring was of course King Kong, the resurrected star of the 1933 thriller being remade by Dino de Laurentiis.
The extras cheered when a technician climbed on the chest of the fallen 40-foot ape to replenish its oozing "blood."

mid-13c., from Old French humble, earlier humele, from Latin humilis "lowly, humble," literally "on the ground," from humus "earth." Senses of "not self-asserting" and "of low birth or rank" were both in Middle English Related: Humbly; humbleness.
Don't be so humble; you're not that great. [Golda Meir]To eat humble pie (1830) is from umble pie (1640s), pie made from umbles "edible inner parts of an animal" (especially deer), considered a low-class food. The similar sense of similar-sounding words (the "h" of humble was not pronounced then) converged in the pun. Umbles, meanwhile, is Middle English numbles "offal" (with loss of n- through assimilation into preceding article).
late 14c. in the intransitive sense of "to render oneself humble;" late 15c. in the transitive sense of "to lower (someone) in dignity;" see humble (adj.). Related: Humbled; humbling.

Half-Life 2 - Aftermath 467
Eurogamer.com has word that the expected expansion pack for Half-Life 2 is already in the works. Reporting on information gleaned from PC Gamer UK, the site has learned that the expansion will be entitled 'Aftermath' and is currently slated for a summer release. Aftermath will deal with the fallout from the events at the close of the PC title as the residents of City 17 make for the hills in an attempt to get to safety. Alyx Vance, heroine and robot wrangler, will play a larger role in the expansion, but the article doesn't give specific details on what exactly her relationship to you as the player will be. From the article: "The reason we're able to do this, and why it's so exciting is because of Steam. If we were doing this without Steam we'd have to put it in a box, we'd have to start figuring out shelf space over a year beforehand. You'd see it six years from now..."

I can't stand Aggy anymore. I don't find her to be a particularly pretty or sensational model. Her style is quirky, yes, but definitely not nice.
Love the trousers in the last photo.

Prospective students can hear about what Penn State New Kensington offers, from academics to college life to career choices, directly from students and young alumni with a series of three-minute videos which are posted on the campus' homepage.
"It's Your Time" is a Penn State initiative that features five vignettes that extoll the advantages of enrolling at the New Kensington campus. Students and alumni talk about career opportunities, education paths, classes and student life at the campus. Even the iconic Nittany Lion gets some screen time, hosting a tour of the campus.
In the first video, "Opportunities," students talk about internships, research projects and study-abroad programs that help campus students with career decisions. The "Choose Your Path," video highlights the advantages of earning a four-year degree at the New Kensington campus or taking lower-level courses at the campus and completing bachelor's degree work at the University Park campus.
"Classes" points out that the small class sizes allow hands-on learning and one-on-one relationships with professors. "Lion Tour" provides an up-close view of the campus by the Nittany Lion. Since the aphonic mascot receives top-billing in the movie, it is, naturally, a "silent" film. However, the background music is as entertaining as the Lion. The last video, "Student Life," features the extra-curricular activities that are available to campus students. Activities include intercollegiate athletics, clubs and organizations, and fitness facilities.
To view the videos, visit http://iyt.psu.edu/newkensington?utm_source=psnk&utm_medium=homepage&utm_campaign=iytvideos online.

Thread: Scrapple / crab hash
#1 Scrapple / crab hash06-28-2009, 02:19 PM
Okay I'll be the first Iron Chef! This stuff, scrapple was pretty good! I was surprised, its the first time I had it. The crab was damn good too, but when isn't it!
I thought I'd do the whole thing as a big breakfast, so I invited over our best friends to share and get critique. Plus he still has some of our soon to be famous bloody mary mix left, he brought over 2 jugs!!!
To the food; Scrapple with crab hash, poached eggs with some hollandaise sauce and bacon, Mmmmm!
I didn't find out till just downloading the pics that my camera went kerplooey between last nite and today, I don't know whats wrong with it but my today pics are crappy. I guess after 6 years its time for a new one.
So you know, all plates were cleaned up - nothing but raves! I give myself 5 stars!
1 lb pork shoulder cut into chunks
1/4 lb ham cut into 1/4" slices
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp cayene pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp sage
dash of allspice
3.5 cups water, or enuf to cover pork
1 cup polenta ( the recipe called for corn meal but I like polenta so I used that)
Put pork chunks in a pot, add water to cover. add al the spices and bring to a boil and then turn down to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 2 hours. Take pork out, it should be fork tender. Skim any fat off liquid and bring back to a boil and add polenta stir for a few minutes and then turn down to a simmer for 1/2 hour. It should be thick.
Off heat add the forked apart pork and the ham and mix well. Transfer to a plastic wrap lined bread pan. cover and chill over nite.
In the morning cut into 1/4" slices and fry them up in a little oil till browned, Yummo!
Poached eggs;
Crack eggs in individual cups
put about 3" of water in a sauce pan to a boil, add 1 Tbsp white vinegar and lower to simmer.
Tip the cup with the egg into the water so some water goes into the cut and then let the egg slide out.
Repeat with the rest of the eggs. After a minute nudge them to make sure they don't stick, cook for about 4 minutes total. Take out with slotted spoon and lay on a towel to let ant water dry off. Put in plate and drizzle some hollandaise sauce and eat.
Crab hash;
1/4 cup Canola oil
1 large Vidalia onion, finely diced
1 Red pepper, finely diced
3 Idaho potatoes, peeled and finely diced
1 Jalepeno diced fine
1/8 tsp Cayenne
1/8 tsp Cumin, ground
1/2 lb Jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over for shells
black pepper, freshly ground
Heat oil in large skillet set over medium-high heat; add onion, pepper, potatoes, cayenne, jalapeno and cumin; cook until tender; remove from heat; add crabmeat; season; mix well; reserve.
I didn't use the corn meal, I used polenta. But this is all it takes to make scrapple!
Get it in the pot with the spices
Mix the meat with the cooked thick polenta
Sorry camera is crapping out, but after refriging overnite cut into slices
:Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
I wondered why the rock was getting larger. Then it hit me.

Launched in December 2013, the plan is based on the Department's mission "to create a viable future for the Armenian people in which its culture and language are preserved and valued." It is structured around the four priority areas which are crucial in fulfilling that mission: promoting the preservation of Armenian language and culture through education, supporting Armenia by investing in its youth and civil society, helping to improve Armenian-Turkish relations, and preserving the Armenian literary heritage.
