Season 2011-12
The Mail Bag
What can we expect from Everton?
What can we expect of Everton now that Fellaini finally has signed, and we won and got 3 points against Wolves? Is it likely we will go on a run of form just because Fellaini has signed a new contract?
I think the mess we are in is because of two things: Firstly, having sold Pienaar, Arteta & Yakubu and not getting any permanent replacements in for them. I think Moyes has no idea about what our current best eleven players is. He has altered the team too much in midfield plus not giving Barkley and Gueye a fair chance to show they are better than Osman, Bily or Neville.
Secondly, a lack of any creative minds in the squad, plus the form of each player this season has not been good to date, only 2 or 3 have shown ability and form and they are Baines, Drenthe and Vellios. The form of a player can tip a game in our favour, but as only 3 out of 11 players have shown the form needed, the rest of the team are dragging these 3 down.
Cahill and Saha should be allowed to leave after this season, because of their age and their huge salaries, £50k and £55k a week for this crap showing is hardly worth commenting on. For the sake of our future, they should be phased out of the first team, and should only come on as second-half substitutes, at least until they have hit form and start scoring regularly.
I doubt we will se them score more then 15 goals between them this season, I would even suggest they are not able to reach 12 together. Knowing their past performances are NOT good enough to get us the points we need now. Some changes have to be made and I would start with these two, plus they can only benefit from this being shown that they do not have automatic spots in the first team.
That is my view on how things are and what needs to change... but, looking towards the end of season, where can we expect Everton to end up?
I think it depends on how Moyes reacts to their poor form. At the start of the season, Moyes said to the media that there was a real competition for first team places and that he would only pick those who he deserved it. He has gone back on his word many times this season, allowing players like Neville, Saha and Cahill to play regardless of their performances on the field. I am sick of it, and I hate the fact that he has lied to our faces while doing so,; it is an insult to the fans as well as the players.
The old saying that Moyes breeds youth better than anyone is a myth at best as I have hardly seen Barkley, Vellios or Gueye, even though Moyes warned us not to put to much pressure on the young new team he was thinking of forming. Seems he has changed his mind on both these things. Vellios has been our best striker and looked most dangerous of all our forwards so far... why is he not being handed a few consecutive starts as Saha has been given?
No matter what argument I may think of, I cannot defend his decision making, and it will get even worse when Anichebe and McFadden are match fit again. Why Anichebe is even paid to be here is a miracle as Moyes must be seeing visions or seeing things others can`t.
For those who call em a Moyes-basher I submit I actually want Moyes to change and then stay, as I know he has ability; it just seems like it has gone into hiding since the beginning of last season.

Neville has been dropped for most of the games this season.
The one game Velios did start (Fulham) he was knackered by half time.
2 Posted 26/11/2011 at 09:10:16
The second game which we won actually, the first was Wigan. where he came on with Drenthe and scored the ultimate 2-1 goal that saw us take the lead.
You can try argue one away match, but that isnt any argument, Vellios has looked and actually been more of a striker then both Saha and Cahill.
Saha has THE POOREST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE, 25 shots with only 1 goal from it.
While Cahill has 0, that is zero since 20th of December 2010.
There simply is no defense of having SAHA and Cahill as regular starters with this abysmal record, surely YOU must see that, or do you wish hell upon Everton????
3 Posted 26/11/2011 at 08:49:56
Eric; nobody gets truely match fit sitting on the bench.
Steadied the ship and all that, grateful thanks etc etc blah blah...BUT, sorry but Moyes has never been more than a 50% manager, 2004-05 was his defining 50% season and we have had,how many is it now?poor 1st quarter a decent middle and a fade away.
Moyes changes
Moyes goes.
It's sad really, early days I had great hopes that he could turn out to be the Blue Shankly and galvinise us.
But in the cold light of day, not helped by his mates(?) on the board, it didn't come to pass.
Time to move on, for better or worse, for all of us.
4 Posted 26/11/2011 at 11:25:49
As for beating wolves yep we did,yep we needed to and yep we should be beating shite like them
Now Bolton that's where our 1 game unbeaten run ends,hope no but I'm a realist
5 Posted 26/11/2011 at 11:49:09
I personally think Moyes himself does not believe in the strikers we have at the club. Thats why he plays such defensive football. I think we all know King Louis is our best option up-front. Moyes watches these guys play football everyday if Vellios was any good do you think Davey would want to keep him out??? But he's pretty mediocre in my opinion.
Cahill is seriously out of form aswell, but hes probably a great guy to have in the dressing room, he really does love Everton, and hes a good role model for the youngsters.
Gotta give Moyes time to buy some new attacking talent., which is always likely to be the most expensive.
In my opinion the next two signings are the most important for the club in years because they will need to take the baton off these guys, and shape the style we play for the next 5 years possibly. IMWT
6 Posted 26/11/2011 at 12:23:24
I think with 3 points for a win and one for a draw it's worthwhile to have an attacking bias even if you lave yourself short at times defensively.
7 Posted 26/11/2011 at 12:28:14
Compared to when?
Arteta has missed huge chunks of the last few seasons through injury, and for most of last season, when he was in the team he stank the place out playing too deep,, apart from a brief spell near the end when he had a brief purple patch on the wing before getting injured again.
Yakubu basically had one very good season, but that was a while ago, since when a horrible injury aggravated by a lack of enthusiasm, possibly aggravated by not getting a run in the team, produced a series of bit part indifferent displays.
Pienaar also had his injury problems and never delivered the goal return he should have done with the tools he had in his toolbox. What he gave us was unstinting effort and a partnership with Baines that was extremely good and productive.We've never really been able to replicate it.
At a pinch, for the team structure, I'd say that he is definitely a miss.
Arteta and Yakubu are misses against what they were maybe three years ago, but they're not missed against, say, last season or even the season before, in my view, for what it is worth.
I'm not sure what the real physical problems are this current season, other than those that have been frequently aired, such as lack of goals, lack of pace etc. etc.But that was true last season too, more or less.
I feel that a collective gloom seems to have settled over the entire 'Everton Family' starting with DM, spreading outwards through his entire squad and being picked up on by the fans.
The talk is of poor morale/loss of confidence in comments from Jagielka and others, and it shows in every game.
We go into games against Man City and Chelsea pretty well already beaten, and the comments of the manager reflect this overall depression. Can you imagine what his team talks are like, or how his players must feel when they read his comments?
Perhaps, as a club we should forget about what we no longer have, and concentrate on what we actually do still have and set our stall out accordingly.
Unfortunately there is nothing that any of us can do but get behind them.
8 Posted 26/11/2011 at 12:51:10
9 Posted 26/11/2011 at 13:20:26
I just don't see Velios as the answer.
10 Posted 26/11/2011 at 13:51:17
I just don't see Velios as the answer.
Thats the problem. We dont see any alternatives to give us an answer.
11 Posted 26/11/2011 at 21:36:38
Some German Guy said about Gerd Muller, why is this carthorse in with my racehorses.
Now I'm not saying he is in Mullers class and he may well be a big carthorse. But he is getting the odd goal more than anyone else.
I actually think that Saha should be in the Cahill role to work with Vellios, talk him through the whole game.
Also more game time may make for more cock ups but he will be getting fitter and hopefully learning at the same time.
What's the alternative???Anichebe, McFadden
12 Posted 26/11/2011 at 21:56:07
13 Posted 27/11/2011 at 07:52:11
Dean, yes I agree, very few alternatives.
It seems to be a choice of going with eperienced EPL players (Saha & Cahill) and if they fail then bring on something new (Velios) to make an impact against the tiring experienced EPL opposition.
That seems to have been working.
Start with the new boys (Velios) who isn't fit enough and doesn't make an impact against the experienced EPL opposition when they're fresh and then have to replace him with Saha / Cahill who are clearly out of form and not performing and are hardly game changers.
Between a rock and a hard place as our USA cousins say.
14 Posted 27/11/2011 at 08:21:38
yet again I won't be holding my breath for Moyes to see the light.
If you can't see it fair enough, we will have to agree to differ

Full disclosure: I've never met Antanas Sileika, but I'm friends with his son.
In Underground, Antanas Sileika tells the story of a group of people that, if it was ever really known in the West, is by now mostly forgotten. This both lends power to his story and at the same time causes a few bumps in its telling.
In 1944, German troops repulsed by the Red Army retreated across Lithuania, a tiny nation that had already changed hands many times in its history. Now it would change again for the second time in just a few years. Just as they did the Germans, many Lithuanians resist the Russians who arrive to run the place, and partisans living in the forests and bogs number in the thousands. They hide underground, stealthily foraging for food, making daring raids on Russian officials in towns, avoiding the patrols of Cheka. And they keep fighting for years, hoping for one of the Great Powers to take notice of them and liberate them from the Soviet Union. The war does not end here in 1945.
It's not really "World War II" though, either; the partisans are above all a populist, nationalist anti-Communist resistance movement, farmers' sons taking to the woods to fight for their parents' land. One such is Lukas, our hero, who becomes a hero quite literally on the night of his engagement party, the scene that opens the novel. He and Elena seem troubled, hiding in the kitchen away from their guests. Called back into the living room, they enter with guns drawn and massacre nearly everyone in the room: the party was a trick to lure several prominent bureaucrats to their death. The couple—who really are engaged—flees separately, unable to meet again for months.
When they can, they marry, though everyone they know thinks it the height of foolishness under the circumstances. When the almost inevitable happens, Lukas continues on his own with the partisans, eventually being smuggled out to the West so he can get the message of the Lithuanians to the greatest moral authority they can think of—the Pope—a quaint choice to Lukas's contact in Poland.
Another love story begins and the first is reprised, and as we hope against hope for Lukas's happiness we realize we are also hoping that the partisans will win, that the Brits will decide to help, and the Americans won't just let Stalin have them. But we know how this story ends. Nothing good can happen for these people who, we know, have decades of bleakness ahead.
The other partisan in the West, Lozorius, tries to teach Lukas realpolitik in place of his sentimentalism (or just the cluelessness of one cut off from all reality behind the Iron Curtain). He tells Lukas not to expect help.
"Believe me, I have seen the future. In a decade there will be children who have never heard of the Baltic States, or if they have heard of them, they will mix them up with the Balkans. Already most people think the Ukrainians are the same as Russians, and as for Byelorussians, you might as well forget about them."
Unfortunately, this is quite true, and it means many readers don't know so much of this story. Sileika does what I would call a bit too much explaining, but maybe it is in order when, as the present-day frame of the novel says, the Iron Curtain is now little more than "[a]n ill-defined borderline [that] wavers somewhere around the middle of Europe…. At present, on the far side of this boundary, the Eastern side, lies a zone where beer and hotels are cheaper than they are in the West, and so planeloads of young men travel there to drink, far from the eyes of wives and girlfriends."
Regardless of this defect, the novel is thrilling, poignant, and often unexpectedly lovely. Toward the beginning, the historically-aware frame describes the location of the town where Lukas's family had its farm with (forgive me) an arresting extended simile:
There were several barrow hills in the county as well, and the ruins of a hill fort, of which nothing remained but the cellar. Thus the hill had a sunken top, like a volcano, where some of the locals had hidden during the current artillery barrage from the Red Army, having fled up the hill like their ancestors from centuries past. One night the cellar suffered a direct hit, and the hilltop blazed like a true volcano, with wounded adults and burning children rushing and tumbling down from the top as far as the places where they died, frozen in their descent like lava that had solidified after an eruption.
The hill isn't there anymore, wiped out by the Soviets in 1959 like the whole country had seemed to be.

Customizing OS X Toolbar
If you're new to Mac OS X you might not know that you can customize OS X Toolbar. Here are some tips that might help you improve your work-flow and get organized. At the top of every Finder window is a row of function and navigation buttons. By default your Finder window will have the folder back and forward buttons, view controls, Actions and Search. One click of any of these base icons lets you quickly backtrack your folder navigation, get a new perspective, trigger a command, or search your location. Here are some additional tips for getting the most out of your Finder Toolbar.
Removing or Shrinking
If you are not interested in having the buttons on top of the Finder window or need space simply click the oval toolbar button in the upper-right corner of the window. You can also hide the toolbar by either selecting View > Hide Toolbar or pressing Command-Option-T.
Customizing the Toolbar
There are a lot of different options in customizing your Toolbar. To customize simply open a Finder Window and select from the Finder Menu > View > Customize Toolbar. A window will appear and you can add additional favorite items into the toolbar by dragging and dropping them. You can also remove items by click and dragging them out of the Toolbar. To reset the Finder Menu Bar you can drag the default set into your toolbar. If you need to conserve space you can adjust the size of the icons or just show the icons, icons and text or just text. You can also add Files and Folder to the toolbar by dragging and dropping a folder or file from one Finder Window to the active Customize Toolbar.
Using Finder Views
Improving your work flow is key in managing your projects. Using your Finder Views can help you view important files and organize lists quickly and efficiently. The four views you can use are the Icon, List, Column and Cover Flow.
Icon View lets you see each folder and file as an icon and is typically the default Finder view. This view is useful id you want to arrange icons in a specific way, create groups, or help you remember file locations. With OS X 10.5 you can view detailed information about each file or folder. Drawback of this view are that it can easily becomes messy.
List View is the most versatile in that it not only shows the file's name but also its attributes such as size, kind, version, comments and labels. The advantages of using this view is that it allow for sorting of files by the column headings and that you can see a folders contents without leaving the initial folder. Drawbacks are mainly in the creation of new folders as you can loose them in the list.
Column View displays files and folders in a hierarchical view allowing you to easily keep track of where you are within your Mac's file structure. This is by far my favorite view in that you can see an items path and you can easily move files and folders around easily. The only drawback is that the Column view is dynamic and changes usually occur when you're selecting or moving and item. This might need some getting used to if you are new to Mac OS X.
Cover Flow View is the newest Finder view. New to OS X 10.5 Leopard it is my least favorite view. It is based on a feature found in iTunes and allows you to see the contents of a file as thumbnails. The only real advantage for using this view is when browsing an images folder. You can easily thumb through multiple images with ease. Main disadvantage is in displaying the thumbnail previews can hog resources, although most new Macs shouldn't have any problems.

Google researcher and scientist Florian Kainz has developed an Android application that could help the camera of Android devices bring better results in night shots.
Challenged by his team, he has created an experimental application that helps Android users take sharper pictures and less noise, even in conditions far from ideal.
"When the shutter button is pressed, the application waits a few seconds and writes up to 64 frames with the selected settings. The application saves the raw frames captured from the sensor as DNG files, which can later be transferred to a PC for processing, "says Googler.
The app even gives users a manual control over focus, exposure and ISO, all the details that help photographers allow more light to enter the lens.
In the tests of Google Pixel (below) and Nexus 6P (above), the results were impressive for a smartphone camera. See below:

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Clear and concise information"
Yes. It reminds me when my thinking strays
It shows the seemingly large distinctions between poverty thinking and world class thought, and actually it is a tiny shift of thought and action!
Also in almost every chapter they recommend another book that focuses on what they are saying.
Always bring it back to my thoughts and then my actions. I seek people who interact with me with positive speech and actions....that is not always the case. This books quick and informative approach shifts the context for me instantly.
I wish they had Die fat or get tough on audio . Listen to everything Steve puts out
Very energized and motivated. Taking out all the basic secrets and work with them. I love this book
A truly inspiring read. Apply these concepts to your life and see a dramatic change unfold before you.
"Great knowledge"
Awesome book has a lot of key points this is definitely a must read! Narrator was great, everything that was said was in point!!!
"Outstanding! "
This audio book makes abundantly clear the difference between the world class and the rest of us. It also makes clear how we can join that group of super achievers!
The audiobook provides good mental strategies anyone can use to transform the way they think. Change the way you think leads to change the way you live (you are born again).
"not bad, not great"
the musical loop kind of made me want to stab myself. Also, the chapter where the comparisons go on and on in the same wording was extremely monotonous and annoying.
Information, that can direct you + it contain some books recommendation to read, which I hope is useful too. I can surely recommend this book.
"Steve makes this so simple but not easy ..."
love it .very clear to follow .to the point. thorough and we'll researched. Enjoyed the book referals.
"More Like Facebook Spinits"
...an original thought elaborated upon.
All Steven seems to have done is repackaged the work of Napoleon Hill and Earl Nightingale into short cute sayings.
Are refunds ever given?

A mysterious sign stating a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant is coming to the vacant block at the Narooma roundabout appears to be a hoax.
The sign stating "Coming Soon! KFC So good" appeared sometime on Wednesday, attached to star pickets with cable ties.
By Thursday morning, the sign had been torn down, broken in half and the image of Colonel Sanders stabbed several times.
The Narooma News contacted the owner of the block, now retired Dr Jenny Wray, who knew nothing of the sign and said there were no immediate plans for the block, formerly the site of the Ampol service station.
She said rather than any fast food outlet, she had been hoping some form of medical associated business could be built to complement the adjacent Lighthouse Surgery that she sold recently.
The owners of the Lighthouse Surgery also knew nothing about the sign and had been receiving several calls about its mysterious appearance.
The sign had also caused some concern for the owners of the newly opened chicken shop just down the highway on the Narooma Flat.

Reynolds continues to thrive with Rams
MISSOULA, Mont. - After two years spent on the St. Louis practice squad, last season was a huge step forward for Chase Reynolds. The former Griz star made a 53-man roster for the first time and contributed on special teams for the Rams all season.
"It was great you know. Obviously I'd worked the two years prior and you just hope you get a shot and finally I got an opportunity and it was a great year. I felt like I did my part on special teams."
Reynolds says it's always a stressful battle to keep his job as an NFL athlete, but he admitted things have gotten a little easier this year after his success last season.
"It's a little more comforting to know that I don't have to start from the completely bottom. That is a little more comforting knowing I've got a spot, I know my role. And the coaches know what I can do and they're happy with me, they know I can play in a lot of spots."
Adding to his value is that Reynolds has been with the Rams the past four years; that's a long time in the NFL.
"I'm the oldest guy in the running back room. I'm probably close to the oldest guy in the special teams room too, so in that sense I am kind of the vet in the room. Hopefully I can do some more things this year for the younger guys to look up and see what I'm doing and be a role model for them."
Alongside his football career, this summer Reynolds founded his own motivational brand called the Promise Line, where every promise made is to work daily towards your goals no matter what people tell you.
"My mentality is no different because I am personally starting from the bottom because there are athletes coming in every year that are better than me and faster than me but they aren't going to out-work me."
Reynolds hopes to inspire others with his personal success story, from 8-man football in Drummond Montana, all the way to the NFL.
"I don't ever really look back I just kind of look forward. I want to accomplish more. I want to have more tackles and get some running back reps I mean no goal is ever good enough for me, there's always more to set and there are always higher standards to accomplish."
In Reynolds' first preseason game this month against the New Orleans Saints, he registered 56 yards of total offense on six carries and one reception. The former Griz walk-on will likely next see the field against the Browns on Saturday, August 23.

Voters Used Social Media in 2010 Midterm
More than one fifth of all American internet users over the age of 18 used social media sites to get involved in the 2010 midterm elections or to investigate a candidate, a study released Monday said.
Of the roughly 75 percent of adult Americans who go online, 8 percent posted political content to a social media site in the run up to the election and just over 10 percent found out who their friends voted for through social media, according to the study from the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
About 7 percent of online adults friended a candidate on Facebook or followed a candidate on Twitter in advance of the elections, the study said, and about the same percentage joined a political group on a social media site.
The greatest percentage of 18-to-29-year-old social media users used those sites for political purposes in 2010, followed by 29 percent of 30- to 49-year-olds and 33 percent of social media users who are 50 and older.
Republicans lagged Democrats on social media adoption during the 2008 campaign, but had mostly caught up by 2010, the report said.
In 2008, 44 percent of Democratic voters reported using social media compared with only 29 percent of Republican voters, the report said. By 2010, 58 percent of Democratic voters and 54 percent of Republican voters were using social media.
Among all social media users aged 18 and older, 40 percent voted for Republican congressional candidates in 2010 while 38 percent voted Democratic and 29 percent didn't vote. Among Americans who used social media to engage with the campaign, 45 percent voted for Republicans compared to 41 percent who voted for Democrats, the study said.
That divergence may have been merely a reflection of overall voting patterns, which strongly favored Democrats in 2008 and Republicans in 2010.
Tea Party supporters were also heavy social media users during the midterm campaign. Roughly 22 percent of Tea Partiers who use social media friended a candidate during the campaign, the highest percentage of any group, the study said.
The data in the Pew survey can't be easily compared to past data because this is the first time Pew has analyzed social media use during a non-presidential election and it's the first time the organization has asked any survey questions about Twitter.
During the 2012 campaign, the Pew Internet and American Life Project will be examining whether social media is actually effective -- as has often been claimed -- at bringing typically unengaged people into the political debate or if it's merely the new standard route for people who would have become involved anyway, the project's director, Lee Rainie, has said.

At ChargingChargers.com, we carry commercial quality 24 volt battery chargers from 2 to 100 amps for lead acid and sealed lead acid (AGM and Gel) batteries. Some chargers feature universal (100 to 240 VAC) input, some are selectable for input, some are available with a true gel microprocessor chip. Most of our chargers are constant current, microprocessor controlled units, some having a final stage float mode, and some shutting off the output in the final stage while monitoring the battery voltage, initiating a charge cycle if required.
The Samlex, Schauer, Universal, and some of the Quick Charge chargers are a straight 24 volt output charger and provide efficient 3 stage charging which can supply up to the battery charger's maximum output (constant curent), and monitor the charge voltage as it rises to the charger absorption set point. The absorption set point is generally between 28.2 volts DC and 29.4 volts DC in a 24 volt charger. The charger then maintains the absorption voltage (constant voltage) until the battery is fully charged (end of the second stage). At this point, the charger drops the output voltage to the 3rd, or "float" setting, which is safe for long term battery maintenance.
This float stage voltage is between 26.4 and 27.4 volts DC. The float stage in a microprocessor controlled battery charger provides an excellent application of computer technology to an old problem. Previous 24 volt battery trickle chargers usually maintained an amperage level that was too high for long term battery maintenance, and overcharged batteries, thus requiring constant monitoring. The smart chargers can be left connected for long periods, and the microprocessor only supplies enough current (at the float voltage setting)to compensate for battery self-discharge.
This internal discharge (self-discharge) is a characteristic shared by all lead acid batteries, but the rate varies with battery type. The wet, or flooded lead acid types are constructed of a lead-antimony alloy, to provide structural integrity to the battery. This lead-antimony alloy construction leads to internal discharge rates between 8% and 40% per month in a flooded lead acid battery. The sealed lead acid battery types (SLA), AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) and Gel, use a lead-calcium alloy, which does not have the same mechanical strength as the lead-antimony, since the construction (mats between plates in the AGM, gelled electrolyte in the gel cell) stabilizes the battery structure. The lead-calcium batteries have a lower internal discharge rate which is between 2% and 10% a month. This internal discharge leads to suphation on the battery plates, which can harden over time, either reducing battery capacity, or destroying a lead acid battery's ability to be recharged. A fairly high percentage of premature lead acid battery failure is from sulphation. Proper battery charging and use of floating chargers reduces or eliminates the sulphation problem.
A Samlex 24 volt charger like the SEC-2415UL, SEC-2425UL, and SEC-2440UL are dip switch settable to deactivate the boost mode to function as a power supply at the float voltage, suitable for backup power systems (UPS), or power supply applications up to their rated output amperage. The Samlex chargers also feature dip switch settings for battery type, including true gel, and are user selectable for 115 or 230 VAC input.
We carry two Universal 24 volt battery chargers (5 Amp) that cover the majority of the wheelchair and scooter applications for external chargers. Both AGM and true GEL batteries are used in this market, and the charging requirements are different. We have a charger for each battery type. These chargers are also universal input, accepting input voltage between 100 and 240 VAC, making them ideal for use in applications which may see world wide use, or for travel. They are 3 stage switchmode units, and can be left on whenever the chair is not in use, maximizing run time and battery life. There is also a 2 amp unit for smaller chairs and scooters, and an 8 amp unit.
The Dual Pro multi bank marine battery charger is an independent output, 6, 10, or 15 amp per bank, temperature compensating battery charger. The two outputs are 12 volt outputs, for a two battery system, where the batteries may be wired in series for 24 volts, or parallel, for a 12 volt system. They are waterproof, and fully potted for vibration resistance. They are available as portable chargers, with alligator clips, and can be ordered with a true gel charge profile microchip. The independent bank battery chargers have a separate positive and negative connector for each bank, and a separate microprocessor for each bank which controls the charging algorithm. This means that the batteries may be of differing age, size, state of charge, or type (sealed, flooded). This works well for series strings of two 12 volt batteries for 24 volts, or a setup with a starting battery, and a deep cycle battery for a trolling motor or other deep cycling application. After each battery has its own positive and negative connection, the charger does not care if they are parallelled for higher amps, or series connected for 24 volts. This is useful in situations like 24 volt charger applications where one of the 12 volt batteries in the string is supplying some 12 volt loads (like communications, lights, radar, etc.), and the batteries end up with an imbalance. A straight output 24 volt charger used in this situation would not properly charge the batteries and correct the imbalance.
The Dual Pro two output models are appropriate for 12 volt or 24 volt battery charger applications (two 12 volt batteries in series) where wet or harsh environments may be the norm. They have flanges for mounting for permanent installation, and are built for water, vibration, and temperature tolerance. They are used in marine applications, like boats with a starting battery and a trolling motor battery, or two 12 volt batteries in parallel, or two 12 volt batteries in series for a 24 volt trolling motor. They are also built in the USA, which is uncommon for electronic items any more.
Newer to the Dual Pro battery charger line, are the Eagle series, single output heavy duty industrial battery chargers. In 24 volt, Dual Pro makes a 12 amp and a 25 amp version. These have a carry handle, and usually come with an Anderson type 2 pole connector, but can be built with alligator clips or ring terminals. These are heavy duty, microprocessor controlled transformer type chargers, built for rough or prolonged service. They combine the durability and reliability of the transformer type charger with the sophisticated charging profile of a computer chip controller to deliver an optimum charge and allow long term battery maintenance with safety. The Eagle 24 volt charger is applicable for industrial carts, scissor lifts, small fork lifts, golf carts, or other heavy use applications using a 24 volt system.
The Quick Charge 24 volt offerings include portable type chargers with handles, available with alligator clips or various industrial connectors, and on board units for mounting on industrial equipment (scissor lifts, etc.) or electric vehicles. There are also 60 amp and 100 amp single phase industrial units, well suited for forklift or lift truck applications. These are also built in the US and have a 3 year warranty.
Thanks for checking our selection of chargers from Japlar-Schauer, Samlex America, Quick Charge, and Dual Pro. We only carry quality chargers, based on reliability, performance, warranty, and value. We can help with selection or advice by email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or our tech line: (541) 582-4629. We deal with case pricing for quantity users.
For more information, see our battery charging tutorial.
Battery systems using 24 volts are found in mobility applications (wheelchairs, scooters), military vehicles and other military uses, industrial systems, material carts, scissor-lifts, RV and marine, aircraft, riding scooters, and many others. They usually involve a pair of twelve volt batteries hooked in series, or four 6 volt batteries in series. If the battery pack is discharged at 24 volts, single output 24 volt battery chargers are the easiest and most efficient choices in chargers, excepting marine applications, where multi-bank waterproof chargers (12 volts per battery) are generally used.

Oregon releases 2007 statewide trout stocking schedule
by Bend Weekly News Sources
Are you looking for opportunities to catch trout in local lakes and streams? Then check the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) website for the weekly statewide Trout Stocking Schedule.
The site contains the most current stocking schedule for 2007 in the Northwest, Southwest, Willamette, Central, Northeast and Southeast Zones. Stocking occurs during the week of the date listed.
Anglers in the Northwest part of the state are invited to call (971) 673-6000 and press option (2) after 2 p.m. for a list of water bodies stocked each day. The schedule is subject to change due to water conditions or equipment malfunction.In the South Willamette Watershed, more than 4,000 trophy-sized trout will be released throughout the year with concentrations in Big Creek Reservoir, Cleawox Lake and Olalla Creek Reservoir. More than 2,500 trophy-sized trout will be released into the North Willamette Watershed with a major release in August of 800 fish each at both Harriet and Trillium Lakes and 400 fish into West Salish Pond.
"The trophy trout program gives anglers an opportunity to catch a rainbow weighing up to two pounds," says Hal Boldt, Fish Liberation Coordinator. In the Northeast Zone, angling for rainbow trout at Thief Valley Reservoir should be very good this spring and summer due to the pool drawdown cycle and nearly 100,000 fingerlings stocked last spring. Phillips Reservoir should likewise be on the upswing with catch rates and average sizes increasing for trout, as well as larger and plentiful perch. The Youth Angling Enhancement Program will fund the stocking of extra legal and trophy-sized trout at Morgan Lake in late April and early June and at Highway 203 Pond and Marr Pond in early June. Wallowa Lake will receive in excess of 40,000 legal-sized trout this season. Check out Anthony Lake, Grande Ronde Lake, McNary Ponds and Jubilee Lake for trophy-sized trout in late June and July. Anglers should call the ODFW Region office in La Grande at (541) 963-2138 for the latest stocking information in the northeast region.More than 100,000 legal-sized trout will be released into Central Oregon water bodies. Lakes where these legal-sized fish will be periodically stocked include North Twin Lake, South Twin Lake, Walton Lake Antelope Reservoir, East Lake, Haystack Reservoir and Prineville Reservoir. Please refer to the trout stocking schedule for more information on the Deschutes Watershed Central Zone trout stocking program. In central Oregon anglers can call the High Desert Region office in Bend at (541) 388-6363 or the Hines office in southeast Oregon at (541) 573-6582.
Although total numbers of trout are down slightly for the Rogue Watershed due to losses from disease at local hatcheries last summer, flexibility within the hatchery system will allow all sites to be stocked again this year. To meet size targets, a portion of the fish normally stocked in spring will instead be stocked for a fall fishery at Lost Creek Reservoir, Fish Lake, and the Rogue River above Lost Creek.
Trout stocking in the area began in mid-February when more than 4,000 trout were released into Lake Selmac in Josephine County. Spring break anglers can fish any number of area ponds and lakes that will be stocked in mid-March. "We won't have trophy-sized trout this year, but we did release adult summer steelhead excess to brood needs at the hatchery into Expo Pond at the Jackson County Fairgrounds and Reinhart Park Pond in Grants Pass," said Dan Van Dyke, Rogue District fish biologist. "These ponds provide a nice urban fishing opportunity and a great spot for kids to have a chance at hooking a steelhead while fishing for trout this spring."
Popular fishing spots in Douglas County, including Loon Lake, Ben Irving, Cooper Creek, and Galesville reservoirs will each receive 3,500 rainbow trout for spring break. On the southern coast, Garrison Lake and Libby Lake will be stocked with 2,600 and 1,400 trout respectively and Upper Empire Lake will receive trophy-sized trout. Upper and Lower Empire lakes and Bradley Lake also will receive legal-sized rainbows. For trout stocking information in the southwest region anglers should call (541) 440-3353.

Clemson Fulfills its Promise by Beating its Model, Alabama0
Ivan Maisel | ESPN Senior Writer | Jan 9, 2017
TAMPA, Fla. — Really, a team coached by Dabo Swinney couldn't have won a national championship any other way.
The Clemson coach's life story could have been written by Horatio Alger, the guy who invented the classic American success story, if Alger had a drawl and ever said, "Bring your own guts."
Swinney, the former walk-on wide receiver, won his first national championship against his alma mater — the team that denied him a year ago, the monolithic defending national champion Alabama — with 1 second to play, on a throw to a former walk-on wide receiver.
Hunter Renfrow, a sophomore who turned down a scholarship offer from FCS Appalachian State to pay for the chance to play for Swinney, caught the winning 2-yard touchdown pass from the greatest player ever to wear a Clemson uniform.

SC suspends Ispahani's NA membership over dual nationality
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Friday suspended Farahnaz Ispahani's National Assembly membership over her dual Pakistani and American nationality, DawnNews reported.
A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, issued the ruling while hearing the dual nationality case. The petition was filed by Syed Mehmood Akhtar Naqvi seeking a declaration against parliamentarians and members of different provincial assemblies holding dual nationality.
The court ruled that Ispahani could not partake in the proceedings of the National Assembly. It further said that Ispahani also could not participate in any of the committees of the National Assembly.
The court also said that parliamentary members were the people's representatives, and Ispahani had confessed to being a US national.
Moreover, Interior Minister Rehman Malik's counsel requested the court for an additional two-day time period to produce documents proving the renouncement of his UK nationality.
The hearing was adjourned until May 30.
The court, in an earlier hearing on May 8, had issued notices to Ispahani and Malik to appear before the court and deny allegations pertaining to their dual nationalities.
Malik had later claimed that he had renounced his UK citizenship, though he was asked to prove so with documents backing his claim. His counsel, however, failed to produce those documents during today's hearing, eventually asking for an extension to file them.
Ms Ispahani is the wife of former Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani, who is currently being probed by a judicial commission for his role in allegedly writing a controversial memo to US military chief Mike Mullen.

Those aren't the only two options, there is also: - From-origin with the default for most resource types set to unrestricted, but defaulting to same-origin for fonts. In general, what protocol to use to change restrictions on font embedding can be decoupled from the question of what the default is for fonts. As I said before, I think we have the following three distinct issues: > The first option is what we've spec'ed so far.

Another option is to remove normative requirements on this topic from WOFF, spec linking restrictions in the CSS3 Fonts spec where they actually belong, and at most add a non-normative note about it to WOFF.

I've been asked a few times whether or not there will be a Sew-Along here for the Renfrew Top pattern. At this time, I'm not planning to do another sew-along. It's been a lot of fun doing sew-alongs on the blog, and thanks to everyone that has participated so far!
I've really enjoyed leading the last four sew-alongs. In fact, I'm rather impressed that we've done four sew-alongs together in the last year! We've had a lot of fun, shared tips and helped each other, and learned a lot along the way! It's been interesting as the pattern designer to see which sewing instructions are simple to follow and which parts cause confusion – great to know for future development! Not to mention, we sewed up some beautiful garments.
The sew-along blog posts will always be online if you haven't made a Pendrell, Crescent, Lonsdale, or Minoru yet. (Find them here. I'll update and add the Minoru posts when we're finished!) Together we've built a great resource full of tips and suggestions for future sewists/sewers/seamstresses to use! I feel like we've covered nearly every sewing topic – seam finishes, hemming, full bust adjustments, gathering, making muslins – you name it! Thank you all for your contributions and comments. Every bit of feedback makes each post that much more valuable to new readers.
Over the next month, I plan to update the Sewtionary with the tutorial posts, so they're easy to locate alphabetically. Zipper posts with the other zipper posts, seam finishing posts with the other seam finishing posts. It's been a while since I added to the Sewtionary and when I finally finish, it'll be better than ever!
If you're up to the challenge, and want to take on hosting a Renfrew Sew-Along, I'll gladly pass the torch! Or maybe do it as a group? You're welcome to use the Sewaholic Patterns Flickr Group to share photos and discuss sewing techniques and alternatives. There's a whole discussion feature that we've never used, but it's there! I'd be happy to promote it, mention it on the blog and encourage people to join in.
I'll leave it at that – let me know if you are interested in hosting a sew-along! This pattern sews up quickly and lends itself well to variations, so it's easy to customize the perfect tee. I'm looking forward to sharing inspiration and ideas for more Renfrew Tops, and seeing your interpretations of the pattern too!

Pacquiao vs Mayweather: Hugs and Missed Punches
It finally happened. For a number of boxing fans a dream came through. After years of waiting Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather finally stepped into the same ring. Was the waiting worth while? Yes and no… Many questions were answered, while lot of speculations continue.
The fight – coined as the "fight of the century" turned out to be somewhat of a disappointment to many, who expected to see a world class bout.
Manny started of slightly stiff while Floyd maintained his distance and style. Nothing ground-breaking in the first two rounds. In the third round Manny started to add pace and both gained hits. Fourth was probably the most action packed round of the whole fight and Floyd looked to be in trouble a couple of times, while Manny delivered in couple of good crosses and body shots, followed by flurries. After the fourth round the pace slowed down. Manny chasing, Floyd running away. Twitter filled up with amusing tweets after the fight 'accusing' Floyd for running away and hugging instead of boxing. This one in particular: "I wish my girlfriend was more like Floyd, when we fight he would just hug me".
Now, who won the fight? According to the judges Mayweather by unanimous decision.›› continue reading

La-Z-Boy enjoyed tremendous success for much of its 80-year old history, but it was suffering from an identity crisis with the all-important female furniture shopper. Women thought they "knew" La-Z-Boy: that overstuffed, old-fashioned recliner, that more often than not they didn't want front and center in their living rooms.
After tremendous growth in the 60's and 70's, La-Z-Boy launched its own Furniture Galleries retail stores in the 80's with a diversified product lineup, hoping to increase its appeal to women. That didn't happen. While the brand dominated the motion furniture segment by capturing 25 percent of overall recliner sales within the category, only 4 percent of consumers shopped at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries looking for stationary furniture, despite advertising that tried to expand awareness of La-Z-Boy beyond recliners.
That was a problem because stationary furniture is the largest segment within the furniture category. To continue to grow the brand needed to shift deep-rooted perceptions and convince female consumers that La-Z-Boy offers more than recliners.
The solution was to sign up a female brand ambassador as spokesperson. That was somewhat surprising for a company that used mostly male celebrities like Joe Namath and Johnny Carson in the past. It was also a gamble as the company risked eroding its equity among men, but its dominance of the motion segment suggested diversifying its appeal.
Doug Collier, La-Z-Boy's CMO and President, International, told me that after extensive search the company settled on Brooke Shields as its new spokesperson because, "We felt that she can put a modern, stylish face on a company associated with a chair favored by her parents' generation. With Brooke Shields we set out to raise awareness among women that we make something other than just recliners." Brooke also set the right tone for the brand: "She came across as down to earth while having great style."
The strategy is working. Not only is La-Z-Boy is gaining share overall, but its sales of stationary furniture, the larger segment of the furniture category and the one previously underdeveloped by the brand, are growing faster than recliners.
I asked Collier if he ever considered changing the name of the product to overcome its narrow appeal to men, the way Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC to deal with concerns about fried food. He replied that it's a question he is asked often, but he did not. "La-Z-Boy has an amazing equity of comfort, value and friendliness and almost 100 percent awareness. I felt that if we can just pivot it a little bit, we could build on these tremendous strengths instead of building a new brand from scratch."
Instead of walking away from its equity, La-Z-Boy embraced it. The brand leveraged its strength as the ultimate in comfortable furniture, and extended the "Comfort" positioning across its entire product line, transitioned from a recliner to a more emotional brand known for living a comfortable life overall.

Baking | Wholesome Fruit & Nuts Granola Bars and a Memorable Trip to the Blue Mountain Range
Never knew that an unplanned and totally unorganized trip could become one of the most memorable vacations for us, acknowledging the golden words "A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." ~ Lao Tzu. Just back from a rejuvenating five day trip to the unpolluted & off beat travel trails in the natural surroundings of Blue mountain range- Nilgiri. The breathless pristine beauty of nature, the majestic mountain peaks, innocent mountain people and the fresh air…my lungs worked at full capacity…Aahh, I could spend a lifetime there!
Baked a few granola bars for the trip which came as a very handy breakfast and snack for everyone. I made three different kinds of granola bars with honey, chocolate and dried fruits as the main ingredient. The following recipe is one I baked with honey and loads of dried fruits and nuts.
(makes about 6-7 small granola bars)
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1/4 cup cornflakes
- 2 tbsp. wheat germ
- 1/4 cup organic Palm sugar/white sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp chopped almonds
- 2 tbsp dried fruits
- 2 tbsp. Honey
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 1 tsp. orange peel
Method; Heat oven to 200 C and line a flat baking tray with parchment paper overlapping the sides.
I added dried cranberries, black currents, blueberries, figs, almonds and raisins in the granola bars.
Chop figs, cranberries and nut very finely. Almonds and walnuts taste great in granola bars. Roast the quick cooking oats and cornflakes on medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Heat the honey, butter, palm sugar and orange juice in a thick pan for 7-8 minutes. Add rest of the ingredients in the above liquid and mix well. If you feel the mixture is too liquid (which could vary due to the quality of honey you use) add 1-2 tsp of oats in it.
Pour the mixture in the baking tray lined with the parchment paper.
Bake at 200 C for 20-25 minutes.
Let it cool completely before slicing into bars. Serve with a glass of milk for breakfast or as a healthy snack during the evening tea time
The other two easy and healthy granola bars will be on Lite Bite soon…stay connected.
- You can avoid wheat germ and replace the same with either oats or cornflakes in the recipe.
- Add dried fruits and nuts of your choice in the granola bars.
- Replace palm sugar with white granulated or brown sugar in the recipe if you cannot get the same.
"No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow." ~ Lin Yutang
And how wonderful it is to sit together, browse pictures and enliven those moments of travel trails with your family after you are back from a tiring yet fascinating journey. Here is our recent travel adventures (on my other blog) in the blue mountain ranges of South India;

Mar 01, 2013 Ida Torres National 9
Yutaro Tanaka, a member of the local Liberal Democratic Party chapter in Tokyo, criticized a group of mothers who were protesting the lack of day care centers outside the Tokyo earlier in February in his blog, drawing hundreds of angry comments from outraged citizens. The assemblyman wrote that mothers should remember that the responsibility of raising children lies first with each household before making "shameless" demands for more nursery schools.
The entry was made on Feb. 21 in his blog, and this drew the ire of online citizens. Tanaka, 37, said in his post that while "woman power" is necessary to revitalize the economy, he thought that the mothers "had no touch of reserve nor shame." "What I am saying is don't force your child-rearing on society from the start. . . . (The mothers) should have the manners enough to say 'Please help us raise our children,' " Tanaka added on his blog, adding that he was not married and had no kids.
A multitude of angry comments flooded the blog, with people expressing sentiments like not wanting to raise their children in a district with a representative like Tanaka and that it is because of people like him that Japan has a low birthrate. Tanaka was not available for comment.
Japan's health ministry data shows that 24,825 kids nationwide were denied day care in 2012. Tokyo led all areas by far with 7,257 such cases. The ministry has set up a special fund, currently at ¥550 billion, to ease the problem. A few days after the mothers protested over the 1,505 rejections last week, Suginami Mayor Ryo Tanaka announced emergency measures to help the children who were denied day care. These measures included raising the capacity in some nurseries and increasing and expanding the number of public and non-certified facilities. "I think the mothers were placed in a situation where they felt they had no choice but to raise their voices to be heard," a Suginami official said. "We must earnestly listen to the urgent concern raised by these mothers, who need to go back to work and also raise children."
I don't know. I tend to agree with Tanaka. I live in Tokyo. I am paying for private daycare (which costs a lot) because we didn't win the public daycare lottery. I am not understanding why I need to pay for these women's kids as well. I understand providing for the poor, but the protesters are not poor. Rather than provide free daycare, I think the city should incentivize people leaving Tokyo. There are tons of daycare openings outside of Tokyo. It doesn't make sense for Japan to have all its "eggs in one basket" anyhow. Getting people away from the density and high costs of housing will also stimulate the birth rate.
I understand what you are saying. You don't want to have your taxes go toward supporting daycare for others who may be no worse off than you. I wonder if the lottery should invite to apply only those families whose joint incomes do not exceed a certain cap; and also take into consideration single parent status (but make sure there is really no spouse!). Of course, first the gov't should evaluate the cost-benefit of hiring more workers to process and analyze complicated financial forms. It might make more sense to expand the number of openings! One thing for sure though. If Japan is hoping to attract more women and mothers into the workforce and train them for higher positions, Japan needs to come up with more quality daycare, whether private or public.
I understand why you want to say, but I cant agree with this. The money they put in daycare system, will come back. The child will become adult, then they will pay for your pension. Providing such service is essential since birthrate is really low in japan. It will help birthrate to grow.
Even if you dont see the need right now, in 30 years you will complain that you wont have a pension when you retire. It is a small investment for bigger advantage later on.
@bobail. I have been curious about this: why do you think the birthrate is so low in Japan right now? What is going on. Best, WP
Birthrate is low reason (in order of importance)
* It cost a lot of money. The country does not give money to help you raise your child. The education is not free, even for public school (For example, France have a free educational system, you can see that they have a big birthrate).
* The actual system does not allow a mother to work since it lack place as written in the article. It make the decision to have a child even more difficult (cf: see the first reason). Even if you find a place, It cost a lot of money for such service. (cf: see original @Booyah24 post) for what you can earn at you work. (I dont know the exact cost, but it big enough to make you think twice…)
* More and more women want to work and build a carrier unlike 10 or 20 years ago. It push women to wait for having a child, or decide to not have children at all.
I can go on like that for a long time, but the main reason is written here. And the cause of the first two main reason, is that the governement did nothing about it. (Create service for daycare create job, and allows parent to work at the same time). Even though Japanese gouvernement KNOW it is going to be a probleme in 20/30 years they still decide to do nothing.
Thank you so much for your thoughts on this matter. I appreciate it. I wonder if the government could eventually arrange a partnership with the corporations to share the cost of daycare and to set up more centers. If the goal is to increase the birthrate and also encourage women to remain and advance in the workforce, then it seems all sectors in society should be persuaded to cooperate toward that goal. WP
1. Germany has a free educational system. Birth rates are the lowest Europe wide (not counting the Vatican).
2. Speaking of Western societies, many women actually have the option to give their children to daycare, have the state raise them. They often prefer to raise them themselves instead.
3. Building a carreer was an argument many feminists raised. However, after realizing that men more often than not have a really shitty life at work, and the so-called carreer isn't all that glamurous, in most Western countries the trend has been reversed. Women for the largest part prfer stay at home mom's role or part time jobs – if they can afford it.
Interesting about Germany. Yes, "if they can afford it." some western women might indeed love to stay at home with the children, at least when they are young. It all depends on individual aspirations, circumstances and means. If you are an ambitious young woman just hired as an assistant professor in the field of biochemistry, staying out of work too long means you'll be at a competitive disadvantage with other scientific teams and with your tenure clock. Your research will be "scooped." And I'd say in the US, (a) If an upper middle class American couple decided to have the mother stay home they could probably squeak by financially with one earner. Even so, it's not that easy. (b) Most middle income couples have to have two incomes if they hope to be able to buy a house, save for retirement, and save for kids college education. Some are lucky enough to have grandparents nearby to help out, or liberal policies at work so they can have flex-time or part-time, but most depend desperately on dependable quality daycare. For those women it's not a matter of going to work to be free from "household drudgery" as the women's mov't used to put it. These women have to work. (c) The long-time working class women say this daycare problem is nothing new to them since the women in their families going back generations had to work to make ends meet and had to create inter-generational support systems to take care of the children. But these days with so much mobility, family is not always available to help with childcare.
Whatever class and aspiration women have, I do think quality daycare is a condition for women to be able to work if they need or want to.
Guest, I just caught the "not counting the Vatican." LOL

Dallas Cowboys: Will DeMarco Murray Become a Star in 2012?June 6, 2012
Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray burst onto the scene in 2011, but history tells us that his sudden rise as a rookie doesn't necessarily mean he'll maintain that trajectory in 2012.
The 24-year-old third-round pick out of Oklahoma had 253 rushing yards and a 91-yard touchdown in his first game as the team's primary back, and totaled 662 yards from scrimmage in the five starts that followed.
But then he slowed down a bit in early December before seeing his season end prematurely due to a broken right ankle.
Two concerns from Cowboys fans here:
1. Could the ankle bother Murray in 2012?
2. Will he suffer from a sophomore slump regardless?
Answer 1: It looks as though he'll avoid any ill effects from the ankle injury. Murray was cleared to practice earlier this offseason and he says he feels great. It should also be noted that the injury—seen here—was just a bad break.
Answer 2: No one knows. Like I said, he began to fade a little prior to the injury, averaging just 3.4 yards per carry in his final four games of the season. Was that an indication that defenses were adjusting to a RB they couldn't fully prepare for earlier in the year? It's possible.
Remember Julius Jones? Quite the sensation as a rookie in 2004. Seven starts, over 800 yards. Dude had 150 yards in his third game, 198 in his fourth and 196 yards from scrimmage in the season finale. He entered 2005 as the starter and fell off a cliff, hitting the 100-yard mark only once in 13 games and averaging only 3.9 yards per carry on the year.
Murray certainly looks like the real deal, but so did Jones.
So did Kevin Jones that very same year in Detroit, before he started experiencing a sharp decline as a sophomore in 2005.
Whatever happened to Cadillac Williams after going over 1,000 yards as a rookie in '05? Steve Slaton in 2008 anyone?
Cautionary tales is all they are, but Murray was passed on 70 times in last April's draft. That, along with all these tales is enough to soften my enthusiasm.
In 2011, when Murray was at his best, so were the Cowboys. When he amassed 100-plus yards from scrimmage, Dallas was 5-0. When he started but didn't get to that mark, they were 0-3. I know that there's a whole chicken-or-the-egg deal with running backs accumulating yardage in wins because teams run more with a lead, but the Cowboys only won once when his average was below 4.0 and only lost once when it was over 4.0 (not including the game where he was injured early).
Those results, combined with his size, speed and pass-blocking ability, indicate he can be a very good lead back for years to come.
Considering how unreliable Felix Jones has been, the Cowboys will be relying on Murray to reestablish that momentum from last November and grab those reins. If he can do that and stay healthy for most of the season, he'll become a star and Dallas will surely be a contender.

Rare Frank Lloyd Wright photos acquired
Word started to buzz among a network of Frank Lloyd Wright scholars and aficionados last month when Judy Eggleston, owner of Judy's Antiques in Portage, put 25 photographic proofs of Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio near Spring Green, up for sale on eBay.
Most of the 25 rare photographs were taken by architectural photographer Clarence Fuermann of Chicago and were taken between 1912 and 1914, the years years immediately following Taliesin's construction. Some of the photographs show the estate shortly after a fire in 1914, when a servant murdered Wright's partner Mamah Cheney, her two children and four workers, locking everyone inside and setting fire to the structure.
The group of photographs are of some importance because they show Taliesin as Wright wished to present his dwelling to world. They were taken for publication purposes.
The fact that they are proofs, however, means that they show more context than the cropped images that were ultimately intended for magazines and newspapers. A number of the images have never been published and were uknown to experts.
The proofs were just acquired by the Wisconsin Historical Society after the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy took the lead in organizing an urgent fundraising effort. One of the concerns was to keep the group of photographs together. Eggleston had placed them for sale individually on eBay.
After an appeal from the building conservancy, Eggleston decided to remove the photographs from eBay and sell them as a group to the Wisconsin Historical Foundation, the private support arm of the Historical society.
"One of the reasons these photographic proofs are so important is that they reveal for the first time what may well be the entire set of photos commissioned by Wright of Taliesin shortly after it was completed and with the intention of being used for publication," said Neil Levine, a professor of architectural history at Harvard University and a Wright scholar, in a statement. Levine is a member of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.
"They are unique," Levine said.
It is unclear how much the photographs would have sold for at auction, perhaps $1,000 a piece. The Historical Society would not reveal the exact cost of the purchase, but did indicate that it was less than $25,000.
The public can now examine the historic appearance of Taliesin via the Historical Society's digital photography lab.
Images, from top: A previously unpublished view of Taliesin taken during he winter of 1911-12; a view of Taliesin published along with an essay by Anthony Alofsin that explored the drawings and photographs of the estate in "Taliesin: Wright Studies, Vol. 1" (Southern Illinois University Press, 1992).

ALGIERS, Algeria — Apparently in revenge for France's intervention in neighboring Mali, an Islamist group attacked a foreign-run gas field in southern Algeria on Wednesday and reportedly is holding hostage an undetermined number of Americans and other foreign workers.
Two people reportedly were killed in the attack, including a Briton. Scores of Algerians also were captured, though some were released throughout the day, according to Algerian state television.
A militant group that claimed responsibility said 41 foreigners, including seven Americans, were being held at one of oil-rich Algeria's energy facilities, 800 miles from the capital of Algiers and 1,000 miles from the coast.
The militants appeared to have no escape Wednesday night, with Algerian troops surrounding the complex and army helicopters clattering overhead.
The assault could lead to more U.S. intervention in the region than American officials had planned just a day ago, when the United States vowed to provide only logistical support to the six-day French-led offensive to rid Mali of al-Qaeda control over large swaths of the west African nation.
BP, Statoil and Sonatrach, the Algerian national oil company, operate the In Amenas gas field in southern Algeria.
Calling the attack a "terrorist act," Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta told reporters traveling with him in Rome that the United States "will take all necessary and proper steps" in response, but he offered no specifics.
Indeed, it appeared that U.S. officials were still figuring out what happened. At the Pentagon, officials said no imminent military response was planned to the purported assault, which the State Department and FBI are investigating.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland confirmed that Americans were among the hostages but she wouldn't say how many.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke to Algerian Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal and the U.S. ambassador in Algeria, Nuland said.
Officials at BP, which owned the field with two other companies, said the company was still determining what happened at the remote field and which of its personnel were involved, according to a statement on its website. BP officials said they thought the attackers had shut down the gas field, which employed hundreds.
Details of the assault emerged from Katibat Moulathamine, or the "Masked Brigade," which told a Mauritanian news service that the abduction was retaliation for the French offensive. Katibat Moulathamine is thought to be a Qaeda-affiliated group.
In Algiers, officials rejected negotiating with terrorists. "The Algerian authorities will not respond to the demands of the terrorists and will not negotiate," official news agency APS quoted Interior Minister Daho Ould Kablia as saying.
The Associated Press and McClatchy Newspapers contributed to this report.
