Wednesday, April 17, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Apr. 17, 2002) — The East Tennessee State women's tennis team will begin the Southern Conference Women's Tennis Championships as they face Appalachian State tomorrow at 1 p.m. from the City of Charleston Farmfield Courts in Charleston, S.C. The Bucs will be the No. 10 seed after finishing the season at 1-20, 0-9 in Southern Conference play are confident as they look toward tomorrow's match with the No. 7-seeded Mountaineers. "Even though we finished last in the conference, we got a good draw," said ETSU women's tennis coach Steve Brooks. "Due to our low numbers and our inexperience, we were at a disadvantage earlier in the season. But now that we have seen everybody play, we have a good chance in our first round match. We match up pretty good, we just have to play maturely, just leave it all on the court. If the Bucs can advance past the Mountaineers, they will face No. 2-seeded Chattanooga in Friday's second round, at 1 p.m. from the Earle Tennis Center on the campus of The Citadel in Charleston, S.C.

Yaakov saw (Beraishis 48 (19)) that Efraim would be greater than Menashe and so insisted that his right hand should rest on Efraim. Did the placing of the hand bring about the greatness and if not why was it necessary?

BASF and Nufarm end 10-year distribution arrangement
7:31 AM MST | January 23, 2013 | Deepti Ramesh
BASF and agrochemical firm Nufarm (Melbourne) say that BASF will terminate its distribution arrangements with Nufarm in Australia, effective 1 March 2014. Nufarm Australia and Crop Care, a Nufarm subsidiary, have distributed BASF crop protection products in Australia since 2004. Following the expiry of the distribution agreement, BASF will directly distribute its range of crop protection products to the Australian market. "Our distribution relationship with Nufarm and Crop Care has been successful for 10 years. But to invest further in our portfolio of...

Recipe by SHACKL
"This a smoky cream sauce that tastes great. Add a few tablespoons to any kind of burrito with rice and beans in it, or to a steak or chicken bowl. Very quick and easy to make and tastes great!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
plain yogurt
1/2 cup
2 teaspoons
pureed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Really good recipe but I also added 1 Tblspn of sugar, 1 Tblspn of cumin, 1 tblspn of Black Pepper, and 1 Tblspn of Cayenne Powder. You will get hooked on it.
I was looking for a sauce similar to what Subway has. I did not like the mayonnaise taste of this recipe. What I did was buy a can of "San Marcos" Chipotle Peppers in Adobe Sauce. I ran them through the food processor. Then, I covered a mini-muffin pan with plastic wrap, and spooned equal amounts into each of the 12 cups. If you do the math, that is just over a tablespoon per cup. Toss the tray in the freezer, when it is frozen just roll up the plastic wrap, put in a pint storage bag, and throw it back in the freezer. My next try will be simply to melt one of these cubes in a cup of Ranch dressing. I think that will be closer to what I am looking for. (Then I will go for the lime juice, cumin, etc.)

When I open a can of chipotles in adobo sauce, I puree them and put them in the freezer, so i can take out just what i need at the time. Wonderful, smokey flavor! definitely not for the faint-hearted. Wonderful sauce!
This was really good.. I did not have any plain yogurt though so I just used sour cream in place of the yogurt and it worked great too.. I use light sour cream and light Mayo generally, but this is a very good recipe as is.. We use it on our chicken subs we make at home all the time. mmm mmmm.
I agree with the other review- lacked some depth of flavor. I added some cumin, a pinch of sugar, and some paprkia- just a little!! It came out great. Really good recipe!
Our daughter & her family were here for our Labor Day dinner. We made "build your own burgers". First, we seasoned the ground beef with Crazy Jane's Mixed Up Salt.We cooked the patties on the bbq, adding a thin slice of cheddar cheese toward the end. The buns were toasted on the grill also.The burger bar consisted of lettuce, home grown tomatoes & red onions (sliced),cooked bacon, sauted mushrooms (seasoned with Crazy Jane's), sliced avocado, dijon mustard & mayo & this wonder chipotle sauce. It gave the burger a nice kick. Our daughter never eats everything on her plate. Her husband usually eats her leftovers. Tonight, she ate every bite. Wow, what a wonderful dinner!
I'm serious when I say this stuff is great! It's very addictive! You wont want another chicken burrito without it!
I added a dash of liquid smoke, about 1/2 teaspoon. It made this sauce come together for me.

Test ID: SLC1B
Solute Carrier Organic Anion Transporter Family Member 1B1 (SLCO1B1) Genotype, Statin, Blood
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Aiding prediction of risk for statin-associated myopathy in patients beginning statin therapy, especially simvastatin therapy
Determining a potential genetic effect related to statin intolerance in patients with statin-associated myopathy, especially related to simvastatin
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
SLCO1B1 encodes the organic anion-transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1) influx transporter located on the basolateral membrane of hepatocytes. OATP1B1 facilitates the hepatic uptake of statins as well as other endogenous compounds (eg, bilirubin). Changes in the activity of this transporter (eg, through genetic variations or drug-drug interactions) can increase the severity of statin-associated myopathy (ie, statin intolerance).(1)
The most common adverse drug reaction associated with statins is skeletal muscle toxicity, which can include myalgia (with and without elevated creatine kinase levels), muscle weakness, muscle cramps, myositis, and rhabdomyolysis.(2) Rhabdomyolysis, while rare, is of clinical concern because of the risk for death as a result of cardiac arrhythmia, renal failure, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. While the underlying causes of statin-associated myopathy are not known, several hypotheses have been formulated, including those related to the biochemical pathway of cholesterol synthesis inhibition and statin metabolism.
The SLCO1B1*5 (c.521T->C, p.V174A; rs4149056) allele interferes with localization of the transporter to the plasma membrane, and can lead to increased systemic statin concentrations.(3) All statins are substrates of OATP1B1, but the association with SLCO1B1*5 and statin intolerance varies depending on statin and dose, and is most pronounced with higher doses of simvastatin therapy. A case-control study of simvastatin-induced myopathy observed an odds ratio (OR) for myopathy of 4.5 per copy of the *5 allele in patients receiving high-dose (80 mg/day) simvastatin therapy (the OR was 16.9 in *5 homozygotes compared to individuals who did not carry *5).(4) Also demonstrated was a dose relationship in a replication cohort of patients taking 40 mg/day simvastatin with a relative risk of 2.6 per copy of the *5 allele. While SLCO1B1 genotype has been shown to affect systemic exposure of other statins (eg, atorvastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin) in addition to simvastatin,(3) there is less evidence demonstrating a clinical association between SLCO1B1 genotype and myopathy with statins other than simvastatin.(1)
Frequency of the SLCO1B1*5 allele varies across different racial and ethnic groups. The *5 allele occurs in the homozygous or heterozygous state in approximately 20% to 28% of Caucasians and Asians, and 8% of Africans.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Heterozygosity and homozygosity for the SLCO1B1*5 allele is associated with decreased OATP1B1 activity and an increased risk for simvastatin-associated myopathy.
Absence of the SLCO1B1*5 allele decreases, but does not rule-out entirely, the risk of simvastatin-associated myopathy.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Patients who have received a heterologous blood transfusion within the preceding 6 weeks, or who have received an allogeneic blood or marrow transplant, can have inaccurate genetic test results due to presence of donor DNA.
SLCO1B1 genetic test results in patients who have undergone liver transplantation may not accurately reflect the patient's SLCO1B1 status.
This test may not be useful for patients taking a statin other than simvastatin.
Simvastatin-related myopathy can occur in the absence of SLCO1B1*5.
The presence of SLCO1B1*5 does not confer absolute risk for simvastatin-associated myopathy.
This test does not detect polymorphism or mutations other than the specific *5 allele in exon 6.
This test is not indicated for stand-alone diagnostic purposes.
This test is not intended to be used to predict drug response.
Drug-drug interactions and drug/metabolite inhibition must be considered.
Rare polymorphisms exist that could lead to false-negative or false-positive results. If results obtained do not match the clinical findings, additional testing could be considered.

The high frequency side is fine. The LC circuit is fine and I have never overloaded them. Also, upon removing the speaker for root cause analysis I see that the rubber surround has one small crack. In addition to this speaker having an issue, one of the rear mm651 also fried. Again the LC circuit is fine and in this case the speaker still plays, but with awful low frequency response. I spent a lot of money on these speakers and then a lot of time making them fit in the Ram. Polk brand speakers of the past were proven reliable for me, but these MM units are very disappointing. Pros: Sound good Cons: Poor ageing, Poor durability. Very expensive. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good midrange and highs.... decent bass Written By didja, Phoenix, az on Tuesday, June 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers have a clear and crisp sound from the mid range and tweeters but the woofer doesnt quite deliver as nicely as I would like. I have them mounted in my boat and so far they have held up pretty well against any water intrusion. They appear to be an excellent choice for marine application. Pros: Great sounding mid range and highs. Stand up well in a marine application. Cons: Bass comes across a little less than I would like and its not long before they start to be overdriven. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Speakers Written By Mark S, Clovis, CA on Friday, February 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced all 4 factory speakers in my 2010 Dodge Avenger with these Polk's. After the break-in period they sound significantly better then the cheap factory ones. I have not yet added an amp or sub, and because these sound so much better, i may not. These speakers are a great replacement for a do it yourself install...It took me and my friend less then 2 hours for installation. Also, these are stable to 2 ohms and very efficient (94db) so they are louder then the factory speakers at the same volume. One note: On Crutchfield they are not listed as compatible because in the front there is a piece of sheet metal that blocks the speaker...I was able to pound with a hammer to bend it slightly so the speaker fits fine. The back was no issue at all. Pros: Good bass, Super clean highs, balanced mid-range Cons: None so far 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No I love 'em Written By Bill, Bedford PA on Friday, January 27, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these in the rear of my Tacoma in a set of Sound Ordnance Bass Bunker boxes. They're paired up with a set of Infinity Kappa 6 1/2 in the front powered by a basic Pioneer receiver. The sound quality is superb. I'm hearing things in certain songs that I never heard before. Being only 3 ohms really draws the most from my receiver. I would definitely recommend. Pros: Sale price, sound quality, and volume. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No very good speakers! Written By deweys, Amarillo, TX on Tuesday, September 27, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I installed these speakers in sealed MDF boxes with fiber filling in my 1970 Bronco. These speakers sound very good with this setup- lots of tight bass, mids and highs are very clean. My head unit is only feeding them 18 watts and it is more than loud enough for me- even with the top off of the vehicle these speakers drown out the exhaust and wind noise no problem. They do come with separate cross over boxes. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio MM691 Written By Chris M, Brookings, Or on Monday, August 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A very good sounding midrange with good highs. The bass is not as described by other raters/purchasers. I bought these to replace an older pair of 6x9s that are mounted in the saddlebags of my Harley. They sound ok but I should of bought another set of my old 6x9s again. 1 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Very pleased Written By Anonymous, USA on Sunday, April 03, 2011 These speakers are really impressive. I knew they would be pretty good, but was pleasantly surprised with the balance of the sound and the tight, accurate punch they delivered. Mine were coupled with the MM651 front speakers. I got a chance to hear things in songs I've had for years that I didn't know existed. I put these in an older, luxury car that was very well-insulated and really was a great match for these speakers as it helped with the acoustics. I don't know how these would sound in an car without good sound insulation, they might be a bit harsh. They look pretty durable and are very lightweight, which makes it even more impressive that they have such a good bass response with the smaller, high-tech magnets. I used an amp on these and I think that makes a big difference. I also have a sub which adds that nice low end that no speaker this size can deliver. I'm not a bass-hound, but a good sub (even at low levels) can really make the experience perfect. My only complaint is that these might not be for everyone depending on the type of music you listen to. They deliver a very precise sound that might come across with a rigid sound. They don't have the warmth that some might prefer. I however usually prefer a studio monitor type sound and these deliver something more like that. Of course a good EQ can help, but I think it is just the nature of these speakers, and if I preferred a warmer sound I would take 1 star off. Overall a great choice for speakers! 9 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No 6x9's? Are you kidding me? Written By Dave, Mobile AL on Sunday, March 06, 2011 6x9's are not supposed to sound this good. I've always been told that a round speaker will sound better than an oval one. ABSOLUTE NONSENSE! I've owned top of the line separates from Quart, A/D/S, Diamond, Alpine, JL, Rockford, and a few others I can't remember. I've been doing this over 20 years. This 6x9 3-way sounds as good as any set of separates I've ever owned. Granted being hooked to a 2-way crossover kinda makes this a separate with an axis mounted tweeter. They have a "hi-fi" sound quality to them. Music is warm and well balanced, punchy and detailed. Even mounted low in the front doors the soundstage is dash level, no harsh highs, no hissy sounding ear fatiguing tweets, no mid range hole that many speakers use to make the bass sound stronger. I've been looking for a speaker that simply sounds great. I've found it. The 6-1/2 MM coax is next for the rear. I'm only amping these with 50watts/channel and they sound flawless with or without my subs turned on. I kept seeing the word WOW pop up review after review. Now I know why. WOW indeed. 11 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing Sound Written By RP, Nashville, TN on Tuesday, December 07, 2010 All I can say is wow! This is an example of why the experts always say to devote a decent part of you stereo equipment budget to high quality speakers. I installed these as part of a stereo upgrade in my boat along with a Kenwood KMR-440U marine receiver and an Alpine amp I had from the previous boat. Just for kicks, I listened to the system with the old 6x9 speakers first. I then installed the MM speakers. It was night and day. With the Polks, the mids and highs are crystal clear, and the bass is rich and deep enough that you might not want or need a subwoofer. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Written By Richard G., Arlington, TX on Tuesday, September 21, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow! I installed these last night and they are great!. I have a 2005 Chevrolet Impala which indicated that these would not fit but I decided to try any way to match my Polk in the front. They are loud. I can listen to the music outside my car with the windows up!. Good Highs and lows. Shakes my car (not like my 12" mind you) but just 2 6x9s it was impressive!. Thanks crutchfield! 5 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing 6x9s Written By abendroth, Houston, TX on Sunday, November 22, 2009 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just installed these in the front doors of my 2006 Grand Cherokee. They sound great. The separation between the lows, mids, and highs is beautiful. They have a clean, crisp sound. I'm driving them with a Polk 200.4 amp. I'm very pleased with these speakers. 12 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Clear and crisp, these speakers are amazing! Written By TOMN8R, Springfield, MA on Saturday, May 09, 2009 I installed two pairs of Polk MM691 6x9 speakers in my '07 Charger (2 front doors, 2 rear shelf). I considered many others but liked these the best because of their amazing bass and mid-range, highs are clear and crisp. Polk used very good materials in these speakers and their construction looks like they can withstand a lot of abuse (I have a lot planned for them...). Don't be mislead by their light-weight and shallow magnets, these speakers rock hard! They may not put you in the hospital but they can break your eardrums. Tech notes: A Kenwood DNX6140 head-unit and KAC-8404 amp feed the power and tunes to the Polks. The low end is handled by two BA G310-4 subs in the trunk. Sounds so amazing I can barely hear now... !! 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Polk Audio MM691 Written By gerald, titusville FL. on Sunday, January 18, 2009 I purchased 6.5's and the 6x9's to match. I replaced premium series ($500.00) 6.5's that had blown with 50 w rms and a x-over. I couldnt afford the top of the line polks, and hoped that these would tide me over till I could. AT FIRST... they sounded so horrible I couldnt believe it. I read about people saying they got better over time. They where right. After I sold the amp with built in x-over and installed diff. amp w/o x-over, I realized how much bass they really put out. The quarts couldnt compete at all as far as bass and mid bass. That extra bass pumping through them now broke them in, in a hurry. Now they sound fantastic. I wont lie and say as spacious and natural as the quarts, but the sound stage is high (right over the dash), their frequency extension is good with no harshness (the bane of Boston Pro's), and also very focused with no hole in the middle. MUCH better than I was expecting. They didnt sound good at high volume levels at first but after the break in period, now they get darn loud and sound great. The only draw back is how much my door rattles now, and the cone is kissing my factory grill making it buzz. For the price you cant beat them. Double ,triple or quadruple it and now your out of their class. Two thumbs up for me at this price. 5 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Speakers Written By Jonathon, Maple Grove, Mn on Sunday, September 28, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers a couple of weeks ago and have them in and powered for about a week now, had some trouble with my amp but crutchfield support's help was amazing and greatly appreciated. These speakers are some of the best I've heard, and I've heard quite a few brands and series, They provide excellent vocals that jump out from the music, but not annoyingly so, they balance the bass out extremely well so that it isn't too much in the speakers, just mid bass that punches nicely for a set of speakers. I have them powered by the kicker ZX700.5 and that made a huge difference, definitely get an amp for these and you will be incredibly happy you made the purchase. 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No First time Polk user Written By Adam, Surprise, AZ on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 This is the first Polk product I have ever purchased and I have to say I am impressed. These things are clean and clear which is exactly what I was looking for. I do have them powered by a Rockford T400-4 amp, so that makes a big difference. The bass response surprised me. I have the rear deck in my Civic coupe lined with Dynamat and these things will still resonate the deck if I turn up the bass too high. They are tight and punchy, no booming here. That's what a sub is for. The highs are incredible as well, crisp and not ear piercing. Cymbals sound like cymbals, not like sizzling bacon like my previous speakers. All around great speakers. I liked them so much I bought the matching component set for the front of my car. 21 out of 23 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Eliminating resonance in speakers results in a wide, smooth response and low distortion. Woofer Cones: Woven glass composite cones feature tremendous stiffness-to-mass ratio. Lower mass means faster transients and finer detail. Butyl Rubber Surrounds: For a smoother response and improved durability, the woofers use butyl rubber surrounds. The airtight rubber surrounds stand up to moisture, sunlight and extreme temperatures while allowing long excursion linear motion and years of reliable use. Silk/Polymer Composite Tweeter and Super Tweeter: The speakers feature 1" liquid-cooled, silk/polymer composite tweeters and 3/4" liquid-cooled, silk/polymer composite super-tweeters for clearer, more accurate mids and highs. Neodymium Magnets: The speaker's neodymium magnets offer exceptional strength to performance ratio and are extremely lightweight. Large Diameter Voice Coils: Large diameter, 30mm voice coils increase the speaker's reliability and power handling capacity. Carbon Composite Basket: The speaker's carbon composite basket is lightweight and will not flex during music audio peaks. Crossover: The speaker comes supplied with two separate 2-way crossovers; one for each speaker. Each crossover input 36" lead is terminated with tinned wire, and the two 20" output leads (one for the woofer and one for the tweeter) are terminated with female quick-slides. The positive woofer lead has a 0.250" female quick-slide and the negative woofer lead has a 0.187" female quick-slide. The positive tweeter lead has a 0.187" female quick-slide and the negative tweeter lead has a 0.110" female quick-slide. These quick-slides connect directly to the woofer and tweeter terminals on each speaker. The separate 2-way crossover network sends the appropriate frequencies to each driver for cleaner sound and better imaging. Dimensions: width = 3.515", height = 1.015", depth = 2.555" Grilles: Strong ABS plastic grilles are included. These computer optimized grilles feature a spoke-wheel design. Marine Certified Woofer: Polk MM Series speakers are built to withstand exposure to moisture and UV rays, so they work well in boats and cars. They also include stainless mounting hardware for corrosion and rust resistance. Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.

Dec. 20, 2010 -- Kroger is recalling some of its private brands of dog and cat food because they may contain aflatoxin, a potentially deadly mold by-product.
The recall includes various Pet Pride, Old Yeller, and Kroger brands sold at Kroger and Kroger-owned stores in 19 states.
Aflatoxins can cause potentially fatal liver damage in dogs and cats. Early symptoms of aflatoxin poisoning include lethargy, loss of appetite, and vomiting. Bloody or tarry stools are often noted, and affected pets may develop orange-colored urine and jaundice (yellowing of the eyes, gums, and non-pigmented skin).
The severity of illness depends on the dose of aflatoxin and the length of time the animal received tainted food.
Signs of illness may start within a few days or take several weeks to appear. Owners of dogs and cats that have eaten the recalled products should have their pets examined by a veterinarian, who may order blood tests to check for liver damage.
Kroger sold the dog and cat foods at Kroger stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The recalled pet foods also were sold at Dillons and Gerbes stores in Kansas and Missouri; Baker's stores in Nebraska; Food 4 Less stores in Nebraska, Illinois, and Indiana; and Jay C, Hilander, Owen's, Pay Less, and Scott's stores in Illinois and Indiana.
Stores not included in the recall are the Kroger-operated Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Fry's, King Soopers, Smith's, QFC, City Market, Foods Co., and Food 4 Less stores in California and Nevada.
The recalled products are:
All of the recalled products have expiration dates of Oct. 23, 2011, and Oct. 24, 2011.
Kroger is attempting to notify customers who bought these products. Customers may return the recalled products for a full refund or replacement.
Customers who have questions may contact Kroger at 800-632-6900 or visit the Kroger.com/recalls web site.

Sorry about the audio baby acting up lol.
i think we are ready for VR helmet today.
The technology is lagging behind gamers imagination ^^
that does look awesome and ive seen some pics of some of my guildies setups that are similar to that, i just dont know if i could ever get used to the break in the screens. i realize its fairly seamless but i think my mind would always focus on those thin edges of where the monitors meet.
again i think thats awesome
Dad plays video games while child cries.
(Firefall) - All Battleframes -

That setup is a crime...
...since I don't have it. So many games I want to play with that.
No support under your right arm and moving with the arrow keys? Sorry man but sitting in that position cant be healthy if you play for more then an hour
This came to mind:
Waste not, want not.
A man who plays with his fingers on the arrow keys does not deserve a setup like that.
My Cracked articles, writing blog, and Twitter.
The problem with the internet is parallel to its greatest achievement: it has given the little man an outlet where he can be heard. Most of the time however, the little man is a little man because he is not worth hearing.
Want to chat with people who aren't idiots? Join our IRC.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to spot it, nice set up though!
I saw n awesome one back int Kara Days who had the same 3 screen setup, but had another wall mounted screen above the center screen tilted down which had windows running on it as well ^_^

Head of Regional Rugby Wales, Mark Davies, says his group and the WRU remain "quite far apart" on the future of Welsh rugby.
Despite plans for a new European format being finalised and confirmed this week, the Welsh domestic game is still in a state of unrest, with RRW and the WRU at loggerheads.
A deal regarding funding and release of Wales players for Test matches has still to be hammered out, with an RRW statement this week saying, "Our efforts will now be concentrated on working with the WRU to ensure ... a positive agreement."
But acting chief Davies admitted much worked was still to be done between the two bodies.
"The first and foremost question is are we all committed to achieving competitive regional rugby in Wales," Davies told BBC Radio Wales.
"If we are, then the rest works out from there.
"But what we need to do is establish the principles and fundamental elements that we're trying to achieve first, and that's not something that we've been able to achieve so far.
"At the moment we have on the table exactly the same amount of money that we previously had, with the addition of an offer of £2m of new money from external sources basically which is aligned to some form of national or dual contract structure.
"That isn't going to be sufficient . . . what that means is . . . there's no new money at all from the WRU.
"We've made a number of proposals that we believe are coherent structures that make sense for both parties going forward.
"[They would] ensure that we have a successful national team - which is critical to all of us - and successful regions.
"We are yet to agree on those structures."

"Cat Keepsake Box"
By Carol Meek
Comments: Six weeks ago I lost my 18.5 year old cat, who was like a brother to my kids and the best cat I've owned in my lifetime. We were so upset and wanted a special keepsake to put his collar, toy, footprint, etc. in. I ordered something unusual in that it was a Mothers Day box, but I liked the design and the way my cats name would be highlighted. I was grieving and didn't explain myself and Memorable Gifts called me to get the order right and had already figured out what I had intended but wanted to ... More details

Nazi's "ideal baby" was actually Jewish
Hessy Taft was just 6 months old in 1935, when this photograph was taken. At the time she lived in Berlin, Germany and was chosen as the perfect Aryan baby for a Nazi family magazine -- except that she is Jewish. SOUNDBITE: Hessy Taft, saying (English) "The Propaganda Ministry of Hitler's government, had authorized a contest for a perfect Aryan baby. And they went to the ten best photographers in Germany and asked them to submit their ten best pictures." The photographer, Hans Ballin, knew exactly what he was doing when he submitted this picture. SOUNDBITE: Hessy Taft, saying (English) "He told my mother, 'You see I slipped your baby in with my pictures.' And my mother said to him, 'But you know that this is a Jewish child.' He said, 'Yes I know.' For all my life, I remember the quote my mother has said, 'I want to allow myself the pleasure of this joke.'" What started as a sly joke became a terrifying nightmare for the family. Scared for their lives Taft's parents made sure that nobody would ever find out about the truth, until last month when she donated an original copy of the magazine to a Holocaust memorial in Israel. SOUNDBITE: Hessy Taft, saying (English) "The fact that the folly of the Nazi ideology is widely known now, by one example at least that I can contribute to, gives me a sense of satisfaction." So after all these years, it's indeed the 80-year-old who is having the last laugh.

Knitting is so frustrating! I'll never finish this stupid simple scarf! I worked on the thing for hours, trying to be careful and get everything right. It's just a simple friggin 2x2 ribbing pattern. Nothing complicated.
After hours of working on it and having it start to actually take some shape and have a bit of length (well, ok, only about 8 inches or so), I totally screwed up a row. I tried to fix it and messed that up. I tried to unravel a couple of rows but couldn't figure out how to thread the needle back in. I finally just frogged the whole thing. Arrrrgh!
I just don't see how you people can make all of the very nice stuff I see pictured when I can't even do a stupid scarf. I'm hopeless.
Hi guys,
Just wanted to get a head start on wishing everyone a Happy New Year, and to thank everyone who's made me feel so welcome here.
I'll be spending a quiet night here in NYC working on another sweater (top down, in the round), I cast on yesterday and have about 10 more rows until I finish up the raglan and get to the body...go me! It's plain ole black..do you believe it...here I am a gay man in NYC and have never owned a plain black sweater? It's a nice soft merino so it's a comforting knit. If I get bored I'll switch to my camouflage socks...
Hope your New Year is filled with all things good...and that your stash is always full.
Happy New Year boys (a few hours early) - the festivities are at my house tonight so have to get ready - but wanted to make sure I give each of you a new years hug and wish you the BEST 2007!
I also decided yesterday (long day) - to make the "lizard ridge" blanket out of Noro that is on the knitty.com website - me and one girl from the LYS are going to do it side by side... I'm still working out the wrap and turn deal - hiding that damn loop is becoming a bear - I have yet to grasp that bit... but the rest of it seems to look good... I think I'll felt my practice square just to see what it looks like :)
Yesterday we had to take Florence (the 88yo owner of the LYS) to the hosipital - she has some sort of bad kidney infection I guess.... she didn't want to stay there, but she had to (and finally agreed to be admitted about 6pm; after being in the emergency room since 11am) - her son (in his 60's) drove out from AZ to be with her for a few days - I think she'll be OK - we took her car to her house (she lives alone) and fed her 2 kitties-- I'm sure it will all work out, I can't imagine how upset she was yesterday - stuck at the hospital...but it's scary to be sick and old. Hospitals are icky. send good thoughts her way please.
Someone on this site works for a mill that spins some gorgeous and reasonably priced yarns, but I can't remember who it is or find the link... Does this ring a bell to anyone? I'm thinking it is in NC or some other southern state...
I've decided, that after the afghan fiasco, I need something more fabulous and substantial than socks. I need to do a sweater FOR ME!
SO, I'm trying to pick between making a cardigan out of merino frappe (kind of light and floaty, with a bit of fuzzyiness, like a short hair mohair). (kind of a cranberry-rust heather)
Another side to side pullover in this shockingly murky bronze-merlot to emerald and sapphire space dyed mohair (the fastest to knit, to be sure).
Or, the ultimate, a Carhardt inspired zippered cardigan of 20+ year old orange toned lumpy handspun Donegal tweed combined with a green-copper-cranberry manos del uruguay, and a frosted pumpkin orange worsted mohair...
(This last one should stop traffic with it's beauty and truly be a stunner, but take the longest to do....
What say you guys?
After several botched and frogged attempts my 2x2 ribbed scarf is starting to come together for me. Admittedly I've only done a few rows so far, but they're rows without added/dropped stitches and are looking reasonably even.
Now that I have a few rows done I can see the pattern starting to reveal itself and it's just very cool to see. It's actually starting to look like something.
Maybe I can do this after all.
I gave up on that super bulky extra fuzzy yarn for now. The stuff it just so fuzzy it's hard for me to see what I am doing and tough to work with and I'm not experienced enough for that yet.
I have started another scarf but instead of a straight garter stitch I am trying doing 2x2 ribbing for it. The K2,P2,K2,P2... is forcing me to slow down, count stitches, and make sure I'm not adding any extra stitches in the rows. So far so good.
I might eventually actually finish one.
Well I'm new to this site and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Marty and I live in Noe Valley in the beautiful city of San Francisco. I was taught how to knit a few months ago in a men's therapy group as a way as a therapeutic technique! I have really enjoyed it and find it really helps me to relax. Anyway, I just completed my 2nd scarf and attached a picture of it. This is a pic of my friend who I knit the scarf for. K3P3 over and over. But I loved it. Anyway, hope to chat with ya'll sometime.
I just received these wonderful bamboo marker pins from Knitty-noddy:
I use pins for marking-out sections for knitting-up the stitches of collars and sleeves. I've been using metal pins which I didn't care for, especially when I would continuously prick myself on their sharp ends. These pins are not sharp enough to injure but are just lovely to handle and use. Naturally, they will work great when sewing up flat pieces of knitting fabric. If you're looking for a nice inexpensive gift to yourself, I suggest a package of these!
BTW: Evelyn is a very nice person to deal with! I bought my Filati Mens 5 pattern book from her and am happy with both transactions.
Well, here it is in all it's 150+ hour glory. It was supposed to have a crocheted border (although I think garter stitch would be or horizontal stripe of K and P rows would be better). He HAD to have it on the 26th, and I didn't have the time or inclination to spin anymore yarn, or knit more for him. Not worth the effort to complain...but I think it turned out gorgeous. It measures 4x4 as is, and is samoyed blended or plied with silk, wool, alpaca, or mohair (or chenille). All in all, there were 12 different yarns designed for it. I will get more sammy fur from a dog breeder and will knit the next one more open (but not for this guy...It will be for charity). That is the only change I would make to the design. This one is drapey, but more of a sweater weight in the end. Samoyed yarn has a surprising amount of memory. Enjoy.

Lewis Hamilton is hopeful that Michael Schumacher's release from hospital is just the first step "onto the new ladder" for the F1 legend...
Lewis Hamilton is hopeful that Michael Schumacher's release from hospital on Monday is just the first step "onto the new ladder" for the Formula One legend.
The entire F1 community was buoyed after Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm confirmed earlier this week that the 45-year-old had been transferred to Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland after waking up from his coma.
Hamilton was Schumacher's replacement at Mercedes after the German came out of retirement to join the Silver Arrows having previously won seven Drivers' Championship titles during successful spells at Benetton and Ferrari.
"It's amazing news," Hamilton told The Telegraph upon hearing the news over Schumacher's recovery.
"Everywhere I go people ask about him, whether it's in the United States or Canada. I could be in the petrol station and people ask about him.
"I always keep him in my thoughts and prayers. It's a real positive to hear that there's been some progress. I've been trying to keep an ear out for what's going on but not really hearing much improvement. To hear that he's really in that wake up phase is really encouraging.
"It's exciting for the next steps. Hopefully this is the first onto the new ladder."
Fernando Alonso, who won two World Championship titles with Renault whilst Schumacher was still at Ferrari, was equally pleased with the news, saying: "Good start of the week with the news of Michael! So happy this is going in the good direction!"
Sauber's Mexican driver Esteban Guttierez said: "Great to hear good news about Michael. Wish him all the best for his recovery."
The Force India team took to Twitter to voice their delight at the news: "Great to hear positive news about Michael Schumacher no longer being in a coma. Keep fighting Champion!"
