Bobby is correct Groth of the 163mph serve variety
Well, he's got the racquet face down and the tip pointed towards the ball, with the angled dip squat. Low toss. He's got Babolat shoes. My guess is it is Roddick without the baseball cap on, but he doesn't have his toss arm shoulder in his face. Who is it?
Sam Groth?
Not a Harrison, and yeah his leg drive is amazing and painful all at once.
Looks a bit like Harrison. That hurts my knees just watching it, he he he!

Although a self-confessed diehard VW fan, months of service issues and electrical gremlins almost caused Derick Szyda to throw in the towel. He'd been down an arduous path with his Jetta TDI and reached breaking point. But like any gearhead, he persevered and emerged better for it.
"It was disheartening, to be honest. I'd heard so many good things about the Jetta TDI and finally bought one but, of course, mine was the one-in-a-million lemon that spent more time at the dealer than on the road," Szyda said.
At about the moment Derick didn't think he could take any more, VW bought back the TDI under the lemon law, freeing him from any VW obligations. Yet like a true VW aficionado, he didn't run for the doors, but rather approached the dealer with a counterattack. "I told them I'd stick with a VW if they could get me exactly what I wanted: A silver GLI six-speed with an Autobahn Package and no sunroof. It was very specific and super-hard to find, but weeks later they located one in Wisconsin and a few more weeks later it was parked in my driveway," he said proudly.
We should also point out, this wasn't his first VW, having previously owned a Mk4 GTI and later a 2006 Mk5 GLI that was featured in eurotuner and can be found at eurotuner.com Fitted with a big turbo, lowered on air-ride and repainted with a pearl effect, the car was a star back in 2010.
With his background, it was inevitable that when the TDI had to be returned, Szyda had his work cut out to restore it to stock. "I hated the car's trailing beam rear axle so had swapped the Audi A3's independent rear suspension into the TDI and fitted Air Lift suspension. Fortunately, I was able to swap most of the air ride over to the GLI, along with my brakes and CCW wheels," he told us. "I got the TDI back to stock just in time for it to be picked up."
Having a brand new car with a full air-ride kit, CCW rollers and Forge Motorsport big brakes would normally be the best thing in the world, but more lemons were in his future. "Owning the GLI of my dreams and having it modded within the first week was awesome, but bad luck struck again when I hit a 6x6" on the highway. It destroyed a bunch of parts, including my CCWs," he explained.
Coming on the coat tails of the TDI debacle, most people would have called it quits, but Derick stuck with it. "I decided to turn the bad luck into my chance to totally rethink my concept of the perfect Jetta," he explained. And so it began. And by "it" we mean one of the cleanest OEM+ Mk6 GLI builds to grace these pages.
"I vacillated about the wheels for what felt like forever. I wanted ADV.1s for years, but they were too expensive, so I considered some cheaper alternatives... Then one day I decided to get what I really wanted, no matter what it took because it was going to make me happy," he said.
The pursuit of happiness took the form of a pair of ADV.1 7TF three-piece wheels measuring 19x8.5" front and 19x9" rear. The ultra-exclusive rollers were wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber and the entire ensemble rotates around the 356mm Forge Motorsport rotors and six-piston big brakes up front - one of the more positive leftovers from his TDI experience.
If finalizing the wheel choice was good, then upgrading the suspension would be even better. "I always wanted the car to have show and go, with the ability to get low at shows but preserve the car's capabilities elsewhere," he said. "The old air-ride kits were only damped correctly at certain heights and lacked the provisions for sway bars, so I went for the latest Air Lift kit because it works as good as it looks."
The Air Lift Performance Kit included adjustable camber plates up front and used an AccuAir e-Level management system. The combo of the e-Level brains controller and 30-way adjustable dampers meant the GLI can go as low as you want while still maintaining stellar handling when needed. "You wouldn't believe how well the car rides and handles. I can't count how many people I've taken for a drive who used to think air-ride was useless but would leave the car realizing it could be every bit as good as a coilover system," he told us.
Big Turbo
Szyda wanted the GLI for several reasons, one of which was the TSI motor. Working closely with software specialist Unitronic meant the 2.0T was about to receive a serious kick in the pants. "The Unitronic K04 combo made 348hp and 330 lb-ft on the in-house Dynapac dyno with equal doses of civility. It spools only 100rpm later than stock, but makes more than 100hp more!" he explained.
As Szyda mentioned, the entire package is built around Unitronic's larger K04 turbo kit and fortified by its stage 2+ software along with Unitronic DV re-route kit, cold-air intake, front-mount intercooler and a full 3" turbo-back exhaust system. Lets not forget the Snow Performance Stage 3 methanol kit as well, which keeps the octane up and intake air temps low.
"I toyed with adding an even bigger turbo, but it would be useless since the car just spins the tires already - if I ever went that route I'd have to convert it to AWD with a system from the Golf R or R32," he added.
If you hadn't noticed by now, Szyda likes things factory fresh, so it made sense that the exterior and interior each received minimal but precise attention. "I felt the GLI's exterior was already perfect, so I only added small things like OEM Jetta Hybrid LED tail lights and replica headlights," he said. "Eventually I'll add the Jetta Hybrid headlights as well, but I want the adaptive and auto-leveling features, so I won't start the project until I can dedicate the proper amount of time," he said.
Life on the inside is fortified with a plethora of JL Audio amps, speakers and processors mounted throughout the cabin and under the leather-lined trunk enclosure. The red contrast stitching in the trunk looks OEM and was used to highlight the color-matched air tank recessed into the floor.
We'd be lying if we didn't judge this book by its cover, believing the GLI has spent more time in the garage than on the road, but Szyda will be the first to admit it's a legitimate daily driver with 31000 miles on the odometer in just one year of ownership. Forget the trailer queens, Derick gets out there and drives his car.

S k i l l
Lesson 19
In this Lesson, we will answer the following:
For example, let us say that the distance you travel is proportional to the time. This means that if you travel twice as long, you will go twice as far. If you travel three times as long, you will go three times as far. While if you travel half as long, you will go half as far.
By whatever ratio the time changes, the distance will change proportionally, that is, in the same ratio.
To begin with, we can only form ratios between things of the same kind: length to length, time to time, dollars to dollars, and so on. A ratio between things of different kinds ("This amount of money is half of this amount of time") makes no sense.
When we relate things of different kinds, as in "dollars per (for each) hour," that is not called a ratio but a rate.
Example 1. In 4 hours, you can travel 110 miles. How far can you travel in 8 hours?
Answer. Since you travel twice as many hours -- 8 hours are twice as many as 4 hours -- then you will travel twice as many miles.
2 × 110 miles = 220 miles.
Proportionally, upon forming ratios between things of the same kind:
4 hours are to 8 hours as 110 miles are to 220 miles.
Example 2. Maria can earn $70 in 6 hours. How much will she earn in 18 hours? How much in 3 hours? How much in 27 hours?
Solution. Earnings are directly proportional to time. If Maria works three times as long -- 18 hours -- then she will earn three times as much. She will earn 3 × $70 = $210.
As for 3 hours, they are half of 6 hours: therefore she will earn half of $70; she will earn $35.
Finally, 27 hours. Every 6 hours she earns $70. How many 6 hours are there in 27?
27 hours = 24 hours + 3 hours.
In 24 hours there are four 6's. She will earn 4 × $70 = $280.
In 3 hours, we have seen that she will earn $35.
Therefore, in 27 hours she will earn $280 + $35 = $315.
Equivalently, 27 hours are four and a half times 6 hours. (Lesson 18.) Therefore she will earn four and a half times $70.
When two quantities are directly proportional, we say that one of them varies directly as the other. In this example, wages vary directly as time.
Example 3. Which is a better value: 12 ounces for $5.00, or 48 ounces for $22.00?
Answer. 48 ounces are four times 12 ounces. Therefore we should expect the price to be four times more. But four times $5 is $20 -- which is less than $22. Therefore 12 ounces for $5 is a better value.
Example 4. Which is a better value: 15 ounces for $9.00, or 20 ounces for $11.00?
Answer. 20 ounces are 5 ounces more than 15 ounces. That is, 20 ounces are one third more. Now, one third more than $9.00 is
$9.00 + $3.00 = $12.00
Therefore, 20 ounces for $11.00 is a better value. You save $1.00.
Inverse proportionality
This means that if one of the quantities doubles, then the other will become half as large. For the inverse of the ratio 2 to 1 ("doubles") is the ratio 1 to 2 ("half"). The terms are exchanged.
Example 5. Let us suppose that the time it takes to do a job is inversely proportional to the number of workers. The more workers, the shorter the time.
Specifically: If 6 workers can do a job in 4 days, then how long will it take 12 workers?
Answer. The number of workers has doubled , going from 6 to 12. Therefore it will take only half as many days. It will take only 2 days.
Example 6. The speed that a car can achieve in 10 seconds is inversely proportional to its weight. (That is, the more the car weighs, the slower it will be going.)
After 10 seconds, a car that weighs 2400 pounds can achieve a speed of 44 miles per hour. If the car weighed 1600 pounds, how fast would it be going?
Answer. What ratio has the new weight to the original weight -- 1600 pounds to 2400 pounds? 1600 is two thirds of 2400:
1600 is to 2400 as 16 is to 24 as 2 is to 3.
(After ignoring the 0's, we see that both 16 and 24 have a common divisor 8. Lesson 17.)
Now, the inverse ratio of 2 to 3 is the ratio 3 to 2. And since 3 =
3 is one and a half times 2.
(Lesson 18.)
The speed therefore will be one and a half times 44:
44 + 22 = 66 miles per hour.
When quantities are inversely proportional, we say that one of them varies inversely as the other. Thus the speed that a car can achieve in a given time varies inversely as its weight.
Please "turn" the page and do some Problems.
Continue on to the next Lesson.

Now coming back to the recipe, as the title indicates, I came across this on the Food & Family Magazine. Its a very simple coleslaw recipe with apples. One of the few things lil LM loves to eat is coleslaw and with apple chunks in it, I'm sure it would be a favorite for kids and adults alike. I substituted the Miracle whip with Light mayo, and it was good to go!! We enjoyed every bit of it and I'm sure you will too...
Recipe (Makes 12 servings, 1/2 cup each) :
Miracle Whip Light Dressing - 3/4 cup
Honey - 1 tbsp
Coleslaw Blend - 1 pkg (16 oz)
Apples - 2, chopped (preferably one red and one green)
Mix the dressing and the honey in a large bowl.
Add the remaining ingredients; mix lightly.
Refrigerate for an hour.
Source : Kraft Food & Family Magazine, Spring '09.
- I halved the recipe and used both green and red apples (half of each).
- Instead of Miracle Whip dressing, I used Light Mayonnaise.
- You can also season the coleslaw with salt and pepper according to taste.
Have a great day!!

Remember: what goes on behind closed doors is nobody's business but your own. To satisfy your curiousity, however, I'll share with you what goes on behind the Coach's closed doors--and it ain't always pretty!
Every morning, I pick up a newspaper at the local coffee house and enjoy the mental exercise of the puzzle pages. Of course, I always peruse the headlines, which are invariably filled with unpleasantries and dire predictions.
While you may be unable to control what goes on out in the world, you can at least control your own personal environment, beginning with taking responsibility for your own body.
I find it interesting that while businesses in general are reporting downturns, my friends in fitness are reporting some upswing. People are prioritizing their expenditures and cutting the fat, selectively spending what income they have available on that which they consider most important. People are realizing they can get fantastic workouts at home and need spend neither time nor money on posh gym memberships. Yours truly has always been a fan of the home workout, of course, and even though I owned a flagship gym in Philadelphia, I always preferred my own private haven--my home and garden--to train myself. My backyard strength garden was legendary!
The last few years I've been living out a nomadic phase in my RV/van and I'm constantly on the road presenting workshops and KB/BW instructor certifications. In the process, I've perfected the on-the-road indoor/outdoor workout. I've come up with an excellent formula and with my current minimalist approach I'm in better shape now than when I owned a gym full of equipment.
Three of the implements I've found most useful--and never travel without--are my trusty Lifeline Jungle Gym, my Lifeline Heavy-Weighted Speed Rope and Lifeline Power Wheel. They are each so portable and easy to break down, adding little to my luggage while allowing me to get a complete workout in any space, no matter how large or small. I've done phenomenal workouts on Tahiti beaches, the continental divide in Iceland, the North Dakota badlands, the St. Lawrence Seaway in Maine and, of course, down those mean streets of Philly. My own personal gym is open 24/7, so even when I travel to far-off places, my equipment sits and stares at me from my open backpack, bidding me to grab it and get in a kick-ass workout.
I've always preferred to work out outdoors whenever possible, in a park or playground, but I'm not unfamiliar with the standard-issue hotel room. The following workout is an example of what goes on behind my locked doors.
First, I typically take my teen assistant to task and put her through a brutal challenge. That always stirs up concomitant feelings of pride and shame, especially hearing her whimpering response to my stern admonishments!
I've just come up with a new Power Wheel Challenge that even the most fit of you will find demanding. It's a 3-exercise circuit with the Power Wheel done nonstop and with as little rest as you can tolerate. Ideally, this will be done outdoors on a grassy stretch, but is also feasible indoors in a hallway or hotel corridor. It's a reverse ladder sequence comprised of the Atomic Push-Up, Power Wheel Walk and Power Wheel Leg Curl.
Start with
10 Atomic Push-Up
Followed by
20 paces of Power Wheel Walk
then flip yourself over and perform
20 Power Wheel Leg Curl
then flip yourself back over and
Power Wheel Walk
back to the starting place
Each round, you'll do one less rep of Atomic Push-Up and Leg Curl, down to a single rep, though you'll still be doing the 20-pace Power Wheel walk each round.
Umm, not so fast--you're still not done!
One of the principles I teach in my workshops is proper workout design, based on human movement patterns. To fully balance the above workout, we'll break out my other revered travel companion, the incredible Jungle Gym.
Secure the Jungle Gym into the top of a sturdy door and set the straps to an appropriate resistance length (longer is more difficult) for Body Weight Rows, also known as the Reverse Push-Up. The following is the second circuit of the workout and consists of two movements: Power Wheel Roll-Out and Body Weight Row.
10 Power Wheel Roll-Out
super set with
10 Body Weight Row
with strict form and perfect alignment
You'll finish up with an incredibly effective, cardio and hip/thigh strengthening workout I call the Alternating Pistol Reverse Ladder Sequence.
finish with
10 (assisted)Pistol on the non-dominant leg, then
10 (assisted) Pistol on the other leg
Continue in reverse ladder fashion, as in the previous circuit, alternating legs each set--without rest--until you get down to a single rep. You'll end up performing 55 Pistols each leg (105 total) it's a real heart-thumper and thigh-burner, like a Stairmaster on steroids! Who needs a machine when you are the machine?
While these circuits are quite cardio, I still like to jump rope for 5 minutes before undertaking a workout like this. Jumping rope primes the body for the following activities, additionally working the calves, ankles and feet. If you're a beginner, thus lacking the strength to perform at this level, there is certainly nothing wrong with halving the reps, beginning with 5 reps. As a matter of fact, if you start out with 10 reps and begin petering out at 5 or 6 reps--then stop. And next time, start out with 5 or 6 reps instead of 10.
What you don't want is to drive yourself too hard on the first set. If you do, there's a good chance you won't be able to get through the workout.
This is but one example of the hundreds of workuts I have in my head. I like workouts which produce strength, endurance and cardio conditioning and a high degree of mobility. I can't think of any sport where mastering a workout like this wouldn't help you in your athletic goals.
My last three workshops were resounding successes! I presented my Body Weight Instructor trainings in Sacramento CA (at Chip Conrad's must-see facility, Body Tribe) then it was on to Wichita KS, where the school board brought me in to work with the PE staff! One of the district strength coaches, Joe Belden, is a real MaxBell afficionado and made the arrangements. I was most impressed with the high school gym. Joe's gym could rival most colleges. How many high schools do you know which offer programs like kettlebell training, canoing and an aquatics program in an Olympic-sized pool? I spent two days there, the first of which was a Body Weight Trainer certification and the second a Kettlebell Basics workshop. The very next weekend I landed in Salt Lake City at the always amazing Gym Jones. For those of you unfamiliar, Gym Jones has made their name as an elite training training center. Owned by Mark and Lisa Twight, two formidable trainers and athletes, who opened the facility for pro and top-amateur athletes.
Gym Jones first came into prominence as the originators of the 300 workout, as they whipped the cast of the eponymous movie into phenomenal shape. The gym is invite-only and is unsigned and not easy to find from the street. This was my third trip there and I was honored to train the staff in my kettlebell system. See what they had to say about it here.
Today was day two of the Steve Maxwell KB & Bodyweight training seminar at the gym.
We were honored to have Steve Maxwell in the gym for the past two days instructing us on various kettlebell and bodyweight training exercises and methods. Steve is regarded as one of the foremost experts in the nation for kettlebell instruction and he demonstrated why this weekend. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from him and are greatly anticipating his next visit.
Before hopping on the bike today I dropped in on the seminar. Immediately on walking through the door I started taking notes. Steve is a master instructor, a nothing-short-of-brilliant teacher. He has taught so many, and such diverse populations that he has learned how to teach everyone from the "motor genius" to the "motor moron" with equal ease and simplicity. Sometimes the clarity and minimalism of his explanations and demonstrations dazzle. Steve explains that, "In the hierarchy of motor learning, the range extends from motor moron (extremely uncoordinated and clumsy) to motor genius (amazing grace, balance, poise and coordination)." Each requires different levels of exposure and shepherding to learn effectively. But I digress.
The first revelation on coming through the door had to do with flexibility. Steve contends that without the strength to use one's flexibility the flexibility itself is not useful. Bingo! There are plenty of weak yoga devotees walking around, and also plenty of bound-up lifters or other athletes who under-perform due to a lack of flexibility. We can all learn to move and improve by studying the lessons of the opposite "camp." Strength is at war with flexibility, Yin with Yang. How we balance is individual, but balance should indeed be the objective.
My MaxBells Kettlebell Instructor training is the best out there and this is affirmed when I see at least two-thirds of registrants are already certified through other programs!
Having taught the first private and corporate kettlebell group classes in the US, I've developed a unique formula for teaching kettlebells in the classroom setting. My workshops are not about showing off personal skills but demonstrating how to most effectively teach group and individual kettlebell classes.
I'm also proud to announce my Master Trainer level KB Instructor certification. This program is for candidates who've already achieved a high level of competence in the field. This course will take your teaching and coaching skills to the next level. There is a segment on program design which is alone worth the price of admission. Check it out here.
Enjoy the struggles of my aide de camp below!
In Strength & Health,
Q: Steve, just bought the Kettlebell 300 Challenge DVD and I look forward to using it. Curious, do you prefer working with one bell at a time or two?
A: I prefer to train with a single bell. With the level of submission wrestling and BJJ I do, the double KB workouts are too strenuous, taxing and difficult to recover from. If you're doing a lot of BJJ or wrestling, I highly recommend single KB workouts, which are much easier to recover from. I designed 300 KB Challenge as a single KB program because many of the folks at home can't afford two bells.
Q: I have a few questions about your training DVDs, specifically the 300 Spartan Workout and 300 Kettlebell Challenge.
1. Are these 300 programs primarily for men, or can women work out with them (with modifications) too?
2. Do these programs help to develop/improve overall body flexibility and stretching ability for martial arts and athletic performance?
A: Both 300 programs can be used by men and women. With the Kettlebell 300 it's simply a matter of weight selection. With Spartan 300 women may have to pick one of the modified versions. There are beginner, intermediate and advanced programs on the DVD. For much of the upper body pulling and pushing most women will need to stay in the beginner/intermediate. Both DVDs are suitable for martial artists and involve a fairly high degree of mobility and athleticism helpful to any athlete, not just martial artists.

(Reuters) - Serena Williams finished her last U.S. Open tune-up in style by blowing away Serbian Ana Ivanovic 6-4 6-1 to win her first title at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati on Sunday.
For the top-seeded American, the triumph marked her first in six visits to Cincinnati and sent a message that she is in top form heading into the year's final grand slam, where she is the two-time defending champion.
"It's just amazing to finally win here," said Williams, who fired a dozen aces and broke her opponent four times. "The fans were amazing and it's so wonderful to be here."
After falling behind early, Williams broke her ninth seeded opponent's serve in the sixth game of the first set to pull even and then broke again four games later to wrap up the opener in 38 minutes after consecutive double faults from Ivanovic.
A year removed from losing the Cincinnati final in a third set tiebreak to Victoria Azarenka, the world number one left nothing to chance in a dominant second set.
Williams broke Ivanovic to open a 3-1 lead in the second set and then relied on her powerful serve to carry her the rest of the way.
It marked the fifth title of the year for the 32-year-old American following wins in Stanford, Rome, Miami and Brisbane.
The Cincinnati tournament is the last of the key tune-ups ahead of the Aug. 25-Sept. 8 U.S. Open in New York.
For 26-year-old Ivanovic, a former world number one who was chasing her fourth title of the year, her run to the Cincinnati final will put her back in the top 10 of the world rankings for the first time in five years.
"It's been a great week for me in Cincinnati," said Ivanovic, who was coming off a nearly three-hour win over fifth seed Maria Sharapova in Saturday's semi-final.
"I really want to congratulate Serena. I think I got a lesson on how to serve today. Maybe after you retire you can give me some tips."

Legislators look to aid those not helped by FEMA
A bipartisan group of state legislators who represent Niagara County and the Mohawk Valley have followed through on a promise made to flood victims by introducing legislation that would create a state disaster recovery fund. The bill (S.5987) is co-sponsored by Sen. George D. Maziarz, R-Newfane.
The proposal would create a supplemental fund to provide individual assistance, public assistance and hazard mitigation after a natural or man-made disaster. Aid would be available for a variety of disaster-related expenses, including home repairs and medical expenses for individuals. Municipalities would be eligible to receive funds for such items as public services expenses and debris removal. Infrastructure grants would be available to public schools.
"Following the storms that plagued Western New York earlier this summer, my office was inundated with calls for help," Maziarz said. "It would have been ideal to connect these constituents with FEMA and other agencies, but sometimes that help isn't available. The enactment of this law would create a much-needed safety net for people who need recovery assistance but currently can't get it."
Upon a disaster being declared, the bill would also require the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to establish a field office at the disaster site and provide relief workers. The agency would also create a disaster recovery center and a toll-free phone number to help those affected apply for assistance.
In all instances, grant applicants would receive funds within one month. Loan applicants would receive aid within two months. To ensure the maximum number of people are helped, aid and loans would not be offered to anyone provided money by their insurance company or the federal government.
This bill is the centerpiece of a six-point legislative plan championed by state senators in response to massive flooding last June. Niagara County and the Mohawk Valley sustained an estimated $87 million in flood damage between late June and July, the height of the storm and its devastating aftermath.

Bristol activists join successful Nuclear Bomb Factory blockade
Bristol & SW activists join successful Nuclear Bomb Factory blockade
A group of around thirty people used cars to block all entrances to the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) in Burghfield, Berkshire (Monday 9th June 2014). Beginning just before 7.00am, they locked themselves to the cars and to each other. The base was at a complete standstill for five hours, with no traffic entering the site through any entrance.
Although there have been protests at the site in the past, this is the first time that an unannounced protest has blocked access via all three roads. Protests at the site have escalated in recent months, as Britain gets closer to a general election that could determine the future of Trident.
Two people were arrested as police forcibly cleared one of the entrances at around 11.00am. The blockade began just before 7.00am and finished around noon.

In a large, nonstick frying pan (I use Woll fish pan here) pour a little olive oil and, when warm, start frying the fish. They won't need much, but keep an eye - some fillets may be thicker than others - and remove to a couple of warm plates, tented with foil, as they're cooked. I think those look best with the pearly pink skin uppermost.
When all the fish fillets are cooked, add a tablespoon of olive oil plus the dribble of anchovy oil to the pan and stir in the minced garlic and the anchovy fillets. Keep stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula and, as the oil warms, the garlic should soften and the anchovies seem to melt into a sauce. Add most of the thyme leaves, then the sherry. After a scant minute's bubbling, replace the wooden spoon in your hand with a wire whisk or a handheld mixer or electric whisk - one of my favorite pieces of equipment - and, off the heat, whisk in the butter. Pour this amount of viscous sauce over the 2 plates of fish (this is for flavoring, not coverage), then sprinkle with the few remaining thyme leaves. Serve with the chickpeas and tomato salad. I know this sounds like a lot for 8, but I like to work on making enough for half those present to have second helpings. At any rate, I've found that a good rule of thumb.

It is possible that the main title of the report Amyloidosis is not the name you expected.
Amyloidosis is a systemic disorder that is classified into several types. The different types of systemic amyloidosis are sometimes classified as primary, secondary or familial (hereditary). Primary amyloidosis (also called AL) is the most common type of systemic amyloidosis. AL results from an abnormality (dyscrasia) of plasma cells in the bone marrow and is closely related to multiple myeloma. Secondary (AA) amyloidosis is derived from the inflammatory protein serum amyloid A. AA occurs in association with chronic inflammatory disease such as the rheumatic diseases, familial Mediterranean fever, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, tuberculosis or empyema. Familial amyloidosis is a rare type of amyloidosis that is caused by an abnormal gene. There are several abnormal genes that can cause hereditary amyloidosis, but the most common type of hereditary amyloidosis is called ATTR and caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. Senile amyloidosis, in which the amyloid is derived from wild-type (normal) transthyretin, is a slowly progressive disease that affects the hearts of elderly men. Amyloid deposits may occasionally occur in isolation without evidence of a systemic disease; isolated bladder or tracheal amyloid are the most common such presentations.

"We have to transition, block out, use screens and use our smarts to neutralize athletic teams," Bennett said.
The Lady Bisons closed out their home stand Monday night with a 62-43 loss to Jacksonville.
The game was "Think Pink/Pack the House Night" with the Lady Bisons wearing specially designed pink uniforms trimmed in purple and white. The event shows support for breast cancer awareness with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure and St. Thomas Women's Health Services benefitting from the evening.
Despite frightful weather outside 1,630 fans were in attendance at Allen Arena. Bennett was pleased with the crowd, but he would have liked for his team to give fans more to cheer for in the game.
Bennett stressed the need to keep motivating his young team.
"Every day we have to demand the effort that we need," Bennett said. "We are not quitters. We can play very well. We have to put the past behind us and come the next day and play hard and play smart.
"Teams that are really athletic like Jacksonville are the ones that are the hardest ones for us to play. We don't have quite as much athleticism as some other teams."
The Lady Bisons trailed 33-21 at intermission after trailing by as many as 17 in the first half.
Jacksonville opened the second half with a 7-0 run. Freshman forward Hannah Phillips scored with 17:16 left in the game, the first points in the second half for the Lady Bisons.
"I thought after getting down both halves we really picked up the intensity level," Bennett said. "We have trouble once we get that intensity level to be under control and play smart at the same time.
"We forced shots trying to go one-on-four and make something happen. Or we would try to make a difficult pass. I would rather have us playing hard. We can work on playing smarter and under control."
Turnovers caused problems for the Lady Bisons with Jacksonville getting 28 points off of 26 mistakes. Jacksonville made 22 turnovers with the Lady Bisons scoring on 18.
Jacksonville also held the advantage on the boards, 51-34, including 18 offensive rebounds.
"We talked before the game that we had to take of the ball," Bennett said. "We were minus-five at halftime. We needed to put bodies on them and we weren't doing that consistently enough.
"We have to be stronger in the post. Overall Jacksonville was big and athletic. We didn't get anything out of our post players."
Jacksonville scored on the first possession of the game on a jumper by Gigi Thomas. The Lady Bisons never led in the game.
With 14:21 left in the first half Jacksonville led 12-2. The Lady Bisons trailed by double figures the rest of the game.
Junior forward Valerie Bronson and Phillips each scored eight points to lead the Lady Bisons. Freshman forward Morgan Faulkner led the team with six rebounds.
The Lady Bisons shot only 28 percent from the field, including two-of-22 from 3-point range.
"We need to shoot the ball with confidence," Bennett said.
Guard Drameka Griggs paced Jacksonville with 11 points. Jacksonville shot 38.2 percent from the field and hit only one-of-seven 3-point tries.
The Lady Bisons, 4-21, 2-13 in the conference, are on the road Thursday at 4 p.m. at USC Upstate. Jacksonville is 7-15, 6-8 in the A-Sun.

The always excellent Eric T. of NHL Numbers and Broad Street Hockey has a piece out this morning that once again shows the tight correlation between scoring chances and Fenwick (shots on goal plus misseed shots) attempts, and that post makes for a nice jumping off point to review the Jets in order to see who does what, and maybe try to add a bit of context to the numbers.
When I've done these sorts of reviews in the past for players with both the Jets and Flames, I've tried, whenever possible, to examine the out-shooting numbers with a correction for score effects. David Johnson's Hockey Analysis has that functionality available, along with a WOWY(with or with you) function that helps to separate players from their teammates to degree. It has also has a correction for Zone Starts that helps parse the effects that occur when a player begins shifts disproportionately at one end of the ice or the other. For team figures and individual Qual Comp/Zone Start numbers, Gabe Desjardins provides those stats at Behind the Net. I'll be referencing both sites throughout the post.
The club as a collective finished with a Fenwick-tied percentage of 50.23, which was good for 12th best in the NHL,and about a 1% uptick from 10/11. Winnipeg was the best non-playoff club by that metric, with Ottawa, the Rangers, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Nashville all in arrears. Since scoring chances and Fenwick are so closely bound, it seems reasonable that the Jets should have been slightly more likely to score than their opposition 5v5, but the Jets finished the year 162GF/169GA 5v5. The issue wasn't really at the scoring end, either, because that 162 total was 11th best in the NHL, precisely in line with where they finished in 5v5 shots on goal. Funny, that.
Overall, the Jets finished the year with roughly 70 more shots 5v5 than the opposition. The league median is that about 8% of 5v5 shots go in, so a team with Winnipeg's shot differential sporting median shooting and goaltending would have finished somewhere in the neighbourhood of +6 5v5. It makes one wonder what could have possibly caused that -7 5v5 goal differential?
/Looks at Pavelec's numbers
/Looks at Pavelec's new contract
/Shakes head
The Front Line:
At any rate, let's move on to individuals, beginning with the forwards. 13 Jets played at least 100 minutes 5v5 with the score tied, and Winnipeg chose some rather novel utilization given the various talents available. Prior to 11/12, Jim Slater had occasionally played more difficult minutes than his 4th line salary would have indicated, but Tanner Glass, and Chris Thorburn entered the season having been career 4th liners, and not particularly distinguished ones at that.
Claude Noel, though, had other plans. Slater, Glass, and Thorburn were buried for virtually the entire season, finishing the year 1-2-3 in terms of quality of competition and 1-2-3 in defensive Zone Start ratio. Slater in particular was given a virtually impossible task, with the toughest QComp and a ZS% of 28.5.
Unsurprisingly, the trio had the worst Fenwick tied numbers amongst the regular forwards, with none of them cracking 43%. With the correlation between Fenwick and scoring chances, that meant that the three of them were on ice for significantly more chances against than for, and they had the ugly GF/GA numbers 5v5 to prove it.
Considering that there's significant historical evidence that Glass and Thorburn are middling 4th liners, it's not any surprise that the WOWY shows Slater's numbers improved when the trio was split. Glass' and Thorburn's numbers also took a jump when they were away from Slater, but that was almost certainly because they received easier minutes while away from 19. Slater's signed for three more years, and as I mentioned earlier this month, if Winnipeg intends to lash him to the mast again in 12/13, he needs better help than he had last season.
The spin-off effect of Noel's utilization of that trio as his hard miuntes line was that the other forwards were given some higher ground to work from. The only other Jet forward with a sub-50% ZS figure was Antti Mietinen, and conveniently, he was the only other Jets below break-even in terms of Fenwick, even when corrected slightly for his ZS figure. The rest of the forwards were in the black.
The nice part about the correction for ZS is that is can help, along with QComp, show who's capable of what, and in the case of the Jets, Kyle Wellwood shows very well, indeed. Wellwood's .590 Fenwick tied would suggest he was extremely effective at generating offensive chances against middling competition, and you'd be very hard-pressed to find another forward in the NHL providing the bang for the buck that the Jets got for his 700k.
Evander Kane and Alex Burmistrov also show well, ending the year with corrected Fenwick figures of .540 and .537 respectively, although it has to be noted that Claude Noel did his best to give them some easier ice time along the way. Considering both players were on their ELCs, that was an eminently sensible approach. I'd suggest that both of them will have to continue that level of output against better players next year for the team to progress, but in the main, they were effective in their roles. Having Wellwood as a running mate for much of the year certainly didn't hurt, either. I have no idea what Kyle Wellwood might like for a contract, but if he's got another couple of years like that in his back pocket, he'd be a pretty handy chap to have on the roster at triple the price or more.
The other primary forwards played a bit tougher competition, but like Wellwood et al, they also gained some advantages by having Slater and his mates living in the dungeon. The one player who's performance was especially good was Andrew Ladd. He out-shot some pretty solid competition at a corrected rate of nearly 53%, and given his pedigree as a serious contributor with the Hawks in 09/10, that makes perfect sense. Wheeler and Little weren't quite as good, although both were still on the good side of the ledger, and along with Wellwood's line, likely gave the Jets enough offence to get by.
In the end, the main Jet forwards appear to have out-shot, and by extension out-chanced, the opposition by about a 53-47 ratio. Even factoring in the pounding the GST line took, that should have been enough to get the club in the post-season, considering the weakness of the Southeast Division, at least in theory.
In contrast to the forwards, Claude Noel spread the pain fairly evenly between his four primary defenders. Dustin Byfuglien, Tobias Enstrom, Ron Hainsey, and Zach Bogosian clearly separated themselves from their fellow D this season, but there wasn't much daylight among the four of them in terms of quality of competition. Hainsey and Bogosian did have a bit of a tougher row to hoe in terms of Zone Starts, but once the correction is applied, again, we can see who can do what.
Dustin Byfuglien, for whatever flaws he may have, can drive the bus 5v5. He lead all Jets' D in terms of Fenwick percentage, with Enstrom, Bogosian and Hainsey following in that order, and all four finished above .500. Considering that those four also faced the toughest comp, that's not a bad season's work, and had they not missed about a full season's worth of games combined, the Jets might have been in a better state at the finish line. Zach Bogosian's quantum leap in performance from 10/11 is especially promising, and speaks well to both the player's improvement and the help he received from Charlie Huddy.
One of the other advantages of these numbers is that you can also see what players are maybe not quite as good as people would like to believe. Mark Stuart was a fan favorite this year, but he was nothing special at all facing soft competition 5v5, and he appears to have reached his ceiling as a bottom pairing defenceman. These numbers also demonstrate why Mark Flood will be better of in a weaker league next year, since he was openly dreadful, and with Randy Jones in the red against the easiest comp of all, well, don't let the door hit you, sir.
What's it all mean?
As I spent all season mentioning, the Jets were a competent team undone by below-average goaltending, especially in the season's final month. I know that's not really the media narrative around town, but with increasing evidence mounting that out-shooting=out-chancing, there's really no other way to look at matters. Ondrej Pavelec has just been rewarded to a level that isn't in balance with his 11/12 performance, and as Ben Wendorf correctly mentioned in comments yesterday, the only way his new ticket works is if he consistently matches or betters his 10/11 work over the next five seasons.
On the skater side of things, the Jets have a few young players that can be expected to improve, like Kane, Burmistrov and Bogosian, but they'd do well to find more proper depth up front if Noel wants to continue the approach of giving his skill guys the high ground. Tanner Glass and Chris Thorburn were earnest in their efforts, but insufficient in their production, and the absence of depth in the club's bottom six was the largest non-goaltending weakness in 11/2. The Jets might not get the sexy additions on July 1st, but they can still take a step forward by re-signing Wellwood or back-filling his spot along with adding at least one more legit top-nine forward.
It's my view that those moves are about the minimum amount the club will need to do continue improving. It's clear the South East will be a better division with Carolina adding Staal and Tampa possibly having mediocre goaltending rather than the openly dreadful performance they got from Roloson last year, so if the Jets hope to progress, they can't keep the same roster and simply hope it all works out, irrespective of any internal improvement.

The Lindley Healthcare and Rehab Center "Relay for Life" team is putting together a three-on-three basketball tournament to benefit The American Cancer Society.
The event will take play March 16, beginning at 9 a.m. with finals to be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 18. "This is the first time we've ever done this," explained Janet Stuckey. The tournament will feature two age divisions; ages 14-17 and age 18 and up with a girls and boys brackets for each division. "There will be concessions available and refs for each game. We're expecting eight games at the most with a girls bracket and a boys bracket. No co-ed teams," said Stuckey. Entry will be $15 per player ($45 per team) and all participants will receive a t-shirt. Games will be 20 minutes each, without stopping the clock. Winners will be declared at first to 12 or at the end of the 20 minutes. In the event of a tie, sudden death rules will apply. Each team will consist of 3 players, with one person being assigned as the captain. Younger players may play up a division but older players cannot play down. Prizes will be awarded to winners of each division and each bracket for a total of four winning teams. "We're looking at gift cards right now," Stuckey said. "We thought about trophies but his would be something you could actually use." Stuckey believes that most people can relate to their cause. "We just wanted to do something different," said Stuckey. "You don't have to be a serious baller or anything. If you can dig out $15 and come sweat for 20 minutes then you've helped and been part of a bigger picture." She continues, "Everybody has had cancer in their family at some point, or if you haven't in your family, you know somebody or have been touched by it in some way. The money raised will benefit everybody." For those interested deadline to sign up is March 13 and you can drop your form off at Lindley Healthcare. "We're going to have fun. We hope to have a good response and people look forward to it next year."

Justin Bieber settles suit with ex-bodyguard who said singer hit him By Alan Duke
CNN/Stylemagazine.com Newswire | 2/3/2014, 4:55 p.m.
By Alan Duke
LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Justin Bieber settled a legal dispute with a former bodyguard who had accused the pop star of attacking him backstage at a concert.
Moshe Benabou filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court in January 2013 accusing Bieber of hitting him during a "tirade" in October 2012.
"The tirade was apparently triggered by what Justin Bieber perceived as an attempt by Moshe Benabou to keep one member of Mr. Bieber's entourage physically away from Justin Bieber," the lawsuit said. "As part of this tirade, Justin Bieber repeatedly punched Moshe Benabou in the chest and upper body area. Mr. Benabou did not retaliate or attempt to protect himself out of his concerns for Justin Bieber's physical well-being."
The lawsuit could have gone to trial in Los Angeles later this month if it had not been settled.
"The matter has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, and the case has been dismissed," Bieber lawyer Howard Weitzman told CNN Monday.
Bieber, 19, was arrested last week in Toronto, accused of assaulting his limousine driver in December.
He also faces charges of drunken driving, resisting arrest and driving on an expired license after being stopped by police in Miami Beach, Florida, last month.
The Los Angeles County district attorney is considering whether to charge Bieber with felony vandalism in the egging of his neighbor's house on January 9, 2014.

WASHINGTON — After two decades in which gay rights moved from the margin to capture the support of most Americans, the Supreme Court justices will go behind closed doors this week to decide whether now is the time to rule on whether gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry.
For justices, the issue is not just what to decide, but when to decide it. In times past, the court has been faulted for waiting too long or moving too quickly to recognize constitutional rights.
The justices did not strike down state bans on interracial marriage until 1967, 13 years after they had declared racial segregation unconstitutional. Yet in response to the growing women's rights movement, the court in 1973 struck down all the state laws restricting abortion, triggering a national "right to life" movement and drawing criticism even from some supporters that the Roe vs. Wade ruling had gone too far too fast.
Now, the justices must decide whether to hear an appeal from the defenders of California's Proposition 8, the 2008 voter initiative that limited marriage to a man and a woman.

Well we know the swords are literaly part of a shinigami's soul and they can be lent to others (Ichigo was useing Rukia's up untill he got his own powers), inherited (tousen is useing his dead friend's), and stolden (ok we have only seen this in fillers but both Renji and Ichigo have had theirs taken by the mod souls and Nel did steal Ichigo's)

It makes more sense if he was using Sode no Shirayuki in the beginning, but why does Zangetsu look like Sode no Shirayuki here when he doesn't have her powers anymore? I end up arguing myself into a loop when thinking about it. Any insights? I was always a little confused and it threw me for a loop when I realized all three swords (Rukia's sealed zanpakutou, Ichigo's first zanpakutou and Ichigo's zanpakutou coming out of the shattered shaft but before learning Zangetsu's name) all had the same guard design.

There is a very logical explanation to this if you compare Ichigo's Zanapkuto from chapter Chapter 66 to the one cut in in two by Byakuya in Chapter 55, the cut is at the exact same place . When he emerges from shaft he has the same Zanapakuto its the reminiscent of that Zanapkuto NOT Zangestsu .
Zanegstu is more like a cleaver while ichigo's zanapkuto was more so like a butter knife . Urahara cut ONLY the blade and cross guard . But when Zangetsu is called out the new Zanapkuto that emerges has an entire different Hilt (Pommel and Grip)
Ichigo original sword's Pommel has ribbons and his Hilt had Cross Hatchings / Decorations . If it was the same zanapakuto it would have remained as Urahara didn't touch any of these two parts . Then there is also the different type of Blade
Before : (Pommel Ribbons) (Grip Cross-Hatching / Decoration)
After : (No Pommel) (Bare Grip)
Urahara only cut the blade and cross gaurd NEVER the Hilt (Pommel and Grip)

I hadn't picked up on the fact that the blade that Ichigo emerged out of the shattered shaft with was in the same condition as the one from his encounter with Byakuya. They can't be the same blade because Ichigo was using Sode no Shirayuki before and Ichigo was relieved of her powers when Byakuya injured him. But why have Ichigo come out with a sword reminiscent of his days with Rukia's powers when he obviously doesn't have her powers anymore? Why not just have him come out with a normal katana? Visual impact? If it is solely for visual impact and to emphasize Urahara literally hacking away at his former self, it really threw my plot logic for a loop.
I was also under the impression that the hilt of a blade included the cross guard, that the cross guard + grip + pommel = hilt. Double checking on wikipedia, that's what it says too.
But even if that weren't the case, I'm not sure I follow your point on the fact that Urahara only cut the blade and guard and never the pommel and grip. Even if Urahara didn't cut these parts, I believe that they would have changed along with the pommel and grip when Ichigo called out Zangetsu. Many shinigami seem to only seal the blade, thus retaining the hilt when they release (Byakuya, Renji, Kira, Matsumoto, Hinamori etc.) but there are others whose entire sword changes when released, thus changing the hilt along with the blade (Rukia, Shunsui, Ukitake, Urahara, Soi Fon, Hitsugaya (addition of pommel), etc.) so the appearance of an entirely different hilt isn't unseen.
I'm almost positive that the blade that Ichigo comes out of the shattered shaft with is Zangetsu, it just doesn't look like a cleaver because Ichigo hadn't learned/fully heard/acknowledged (take your pick) Zangetsu's name yet. Plus, zanpakutou are tied to one's soul, and that was the blade that Ichigo pulled out of the box in his soul while in the shattered shaft (Ch. 63, Pg. 16). If shikai is level 1, then I see the butter knife as level 0. I'm sure Shinigami Academy students deal with their zanpakutou's at level 0 too, I wouldn't expect them to learn shikai right away.
Does that clarify my confusion? And if I go the other route and try to say that Ichigo was using Zangetsu at level 0 from the beginning and Rukia's powers were just the vehicle that allowed him to use Zangetsu before he developed his own shinigami powers, it doesn't explain why the cross guard looks the same as Rukia's.
AAAA... my brain hurts...

Per the captain of the 12th a Zanapakuto is easy to repair as long as the guard and grip remain intact.
What he came out of the shaft with was just the broken remains of Sode no Shirayuki and Urahara desroyed even the guard of it so only the grip remained. It was at that time that Zangetsu as why he hadn't called(summoned) him.

P.S. I did a big mental "OOOOOHHH!" of realization. And this is me right now because I'm happy.
Coupled with Geta Boshi's speculations in the "Rukia's Zanpakutou" thread, I actually have two theories on this topic, both of which I believe work.
1. Ichigo emerges with the remains of Sode no Shirayuki and Zangetsu doesn't come out until he is called. (thanks kagato3!)

I didn't want to read through 13 pages of posts. So, has anyone posted that he might have been the captain of squad 0?
Only reason I think that is because the top 3 Captains would have recognized the last name Kurosaki. Also you are not allowed to retire from the 13 squads as we saw with the den of maggots. Also the soul reapers watch the quincy and I'm sure they would have seen Isshin associating with Ryūken.

In response to the topic of who is Isshin Kurosaki I would have to believe that he is
possibly a branch member of the Shiba clan, albiet obvious the physical resembelance.
But also his personality ressembles Kukaku Shiba very closely he may have been a brother
by marriage or something. As for the Isshin to Kaien thing its possible but unlikely.
For his rank as a captain and no one in the current Gotei 13 knows him brings about
only two scenarios, one he only knew a few other captains like Urahara before leaving the SS. Or he was something like a Ichigo an exception to the SS rules but instead of being just an ordinary captain was place directly into Squad Zero similiar to how Hitsuguya is a child prodigy.
Another possiblity comes to mind he may have be involved with Aizen's research of hollowfication / Orb of distortion from the beginning and after learning of it's extent tried to distance himself from Aizen. For whatever reason it then prompts him to leave SS for good and takes his wife's name as a means of concealing he left in the first place. As for the timing of this it had to happen prior to the Visored Incident because Shinji did not recognize
his presence.

My point being that the bad things are brushed aside and no one ever speaks of them. My guess is that Yamma knows the name Kurosaki along maybe a few other people and they wont speak of it because he really pissed off central 46. For all we know discussing past offenses that have resulted in banishment could result in more punishment for the people discussing it.
OR Kurosaki may be an assumed name, and Isshin could may well have been the captain that got promoted to the zero squad at the beginning of the pendulum arc.

Shinji would've noticed his reiatsu then cos he was a captain back then. And that captain was Hiyori's so loved captain, Hiyori for sure would've noticed him in the same town.

-.- oops... that was just a spur of the moment theory, didn't really think it thru. Thanks for making it all make sense. The part about Shinji sensing his rieatsu wouln't make sense since he didnt have a rieatsu for Shinji to sense (re-cooperating powers), back when he downed the Grand Fisher Shinji was with Ichigo so theres a good chance Ichigo was masking senses since he has poor control over releasing his rieatsu during combat.
But I'm pretty sure that Isshin has some sort of bad history with SS whether hes been framed or not. The captain garb maybe the way the royal guard have to wear it (you would think a kings guard would have strict rules on uniform just look at society all through the ages). His powers had to re-cooperate, and Urahara was sentenced to his powers getting drained and banished to the real world. This probably mirrors Isshin's former circumstances/sentence to get him into the real world in the first place.

It's all fine and great guessing blindly what Isshin may have been, but that's not really helpful and if you're just going to make stuff up without any basis in what we have seen then you might as well propose that Isshin is actually Aizen's master who put Aizen on that job because he's angry that Yamamoto kicked him out of SS those centuries ago.
Back to reality:
I think that TK has given us hints as to Isshin real identity. And I'm gonna try to use only scenes or events or items that we have actually seen.
What do we know? What have we seen?
1) Isshin appears with captain's hadori
2) Quite knowledgeable about SS/vaizards etc
3) He and Urahara know each other and -this is important- show respect for each other (i.e. Urahara is not his usual silly/mischievious self)
A) In the TBTP arc we never see all the captains. Every time they come together 2 captains are missing.
B) Someone here said Shinji didn't recognize Isshin's reiatsu. That's true, but then again when they were fighting Kensei and co, they didn't recognize their reiatsu either.
C) Urahara has the knowledge to mask or erase reiatsu (with the cloak or the special gigai)
So the question is, why would TK show us Isshin in a captain's hadori - and acting the way, if he would then simpl,y turn around and go "Ha! Fooled ya, Isshin is actual Santa Claus" (or something equally absurd).
If you look back through the episodes, if TK has dropped similar hints then they were followed through (otherwise they wouldn't have been hints - more like red herrings)

I would say I'd believe in the SS King Theory. Kubo's just been like that with Ichigo the whole plot, by showing that Ichigo's not ordinarry and that fact that he has been rapidly gaining in ability and power the whole series. Isshin is not only unknown to Soul Society as a missing person, but Isshin must've either apart of SS and left before Rukia became a shinigami over a hundred ago or ruled them. I'd say the latter, because since Renji and Byakua found Rukia in the gigai she had that gave off no reiatsu, why didn't they find Isshin, especially since Isshin would've been gone at least since around the time that Urahara became a captain and thus had barely begun the DRT in his captain's quarters. A unknown king would never show up on records, so they would never go to find him in the first place.
The only thing bothering me is if Ishhin is the King of Soul Society and Ichigo is the prince, why aren't they in the King's dimension, where the King's Key is supposedly supposed to lead to, unless it just leads to the human world where Isshin lives, which is unlikely. If he is the unknown king, maybe there was a coup de ta and Isshin was thrown out of power, which explains for the second Bleach movie where the Royal Family was suppoedly in the carriage when it got attacked, but I forget what happened but Ichigo eventually got them off).

Grandmom's Mahony ancestry is proving to be the most challenging to pin down, as no relatives know anything about them. The only clue I have is that the same Mahony names showing up on marriage and baptism records for Grandmom's family in Cullomane East also show up on marriage and baptism records for a branch of Granddad's family in Lissane. That, and that both the Margaret Mahony = Denis Collins marriage out of Lissane and the Mary Mahony = Daniel Collins marriage out of Cullomane actually took place in Drimoleague & Drinagh R.C. parish, possibly the home parish of the brides. From these coincidences I think Mary and Margaret were likely sisters.
Drimoleague & Drinagh, though, is so intertwined with Caheragh, that I am starting to think I cannot rule Caheragh out. It isn't outside the realm of possibility that a bride was living with somebody besides her immediate family, for instance, an uncle's family.
Skibbereen Heritage has done some preliminary searches for me. From what they have done I have managed to eliminate some possibilities. A family with names Cain, Denis, Daniel, Timothy, Mary, Margaret, and Catherine simply doesn't look like a family with names William and Ann. So I've done some elimination just based on name resemblance. The non-familiar names also tended to be further away (Lettergorman).
The family out of Bredagh remains the best contender, though a new plot element landed in my lap this morning. A family in Drimoleague I have not considered, Michael Mahony = Mary Henning of Drimoleague, had a son named Daniel. Ordinarily I would not pay attention to this record, except that one of my Family Finder DNA matches has the mother's surname as his own surname.
As I have accumulated Mahony data over the two years I have been doing research, I have constructed data chains from baptismal records (if I have them); tithe applotment; griffiths; and then civil registration, 1901 and 1911 censuses.
I am interested in marriages in the early years of registration, as these records are of events for people whose births were outside the reach of civil registration but whose parent may have been recorded in tithe applotment or Griffiths. The marriage records will list the groom's father's name, which is helpful. The problem with residence on a marriage record, though, is that the residence listed is not necessarily where somebody was born and grew up or subsequently ended up living. Farm laborers could have moved around to different farms.
Similarly, death records of those born before civil registration can be especially useful. I focus more on the older people, who obviously had time to marry and produce a family. The death records help me narrow down the point in time I might find that person in a baptismal record. Sometimes you get lucky on a death record, if the informant was a relative and stated where he or she lived. I've also gotten lucky even on infant death records, when the informant identified himself as an uncle.
Birth records help me reconstruct families I see in the censuses.
In my Mahony Excel workbook, my death spreadsheet has 33 references from the online civil registration index, with only 13 references resolved. The marriage spreadsheet has 28 index references on it with only four of them resolved. I even have 21 indexes references on a birth spreadsheet for 1864-1870 that would be worth looking at to eliminate them.
It is worth looking at the Ireland special collections at Family Search online to see if I can eliminate anybody on the worksheets, but those special collections are not exhaustive. However if I can eliminate a record before ordering the film for it or resorting to ordering it from GRO, all the better. It saves both time AND money. For my purposes I will not order any birth records from GRO before 1881, as 1864-1880 films are in the permanent collection at my local Family History Library and are available to me. Films are available to order for both marriages and deaths 1864-1870.
