A quirky Kiwi woman has made waves in Australia by taking to
the surf wearing nothing more than a smile.
Naked surfer Marama Kake says her brave style started on New
Zealand beaches.
She has described her choice of bathing outfit as her
"sustainability suit'' and says she wants to spread a message
of sustainable surfing.
Ms Kake made onlookers blush this week when she was spotted
surfing naked at Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.
"I'm not out there to get everyone to look at me, I just love
the sensation and simplicity of surfing in my 'sustainability
suit','' Ms Kake told the Courier Mail.
"I cover up or paddle away if I am anywhere near children and
have never had any trouble with lifeguards or authorities,
and I've been doing it for years in Australia and New
Long-time surfer Ian Borland said he almost fell off his
board when Ms Kake paddled past him.
"I've been surfing for almost 50 years and I have never seen
anything like it. There must have been 100 guys out there and
out she paddled bold as brass,'' he told The Sun
"The reaction was shock at first and then everyone thought it
was quite funny. We were all intrigued.''
Despite the favourable reaction, local police told APNZ naked
surfing was an offence.
Sergeant Dean Holmes said police would investigate if a
complaint was made and offenders faced charges of wilful
Ms Kake said onlookers were welcoming and women had even
complimented her courage.
"It changes the mood very quickly and cuts through the
aggression that is finding its way to busy pointbreaks. It's
a sure-fire cure for wave rage,'' she said.
Sustainability is a message Ms Kake takes seriously and she
has the slogan "get naked, get sustainable'' inscribed on her
She told the Courier Mail she was travelling to gain
support for a new environmentally conscious network called
Project 13.
"We want to set up a global network of volunteers - a vessel
to give back. Part of the project will be designing
sustainable clothing, including surfwear and wetsuits,'' Ms
Kake said.
She rides "green boards'', including a timber alaia designed
for her by master craftsman Tom Wegener and another from the
eco-friendly D'Arcy factory on the Gold Coast.

Bearcats move on to state semifinals
Published: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
The Hendersonville High School Bearcat tennis team took another step toward the 1-A dual team state finals on Tuesday with a 5-1 decision in the singles play against Jordan Matthews.
The visiting Jets were only operating on one cylinder Tuesday, as the Bearcats (14-4) won five of the six singles matches en route to the victory.
With the win, HHS will host the winner of the Highland Tech-Mt. Airy match on next Tuesday in the 1-A dual team semifinals. The winner from there will play for the state 1-A championship at Burlington Tennis Center on May 24.
Hendersonville's Tyler Grove made quick work of eliminating the Jets' No. 1 player Matt Ellis 6-0, 6-0.
In the battle of No. 2s, Robert Beal defeated Sean Wilkeson 6-1,6-0.
Evan Kirkland defeated Jordan Stamp 7-6, 6-1 in the matchup of No. 3s. Kirkland won the first set tie-breaker 7-0.
Scott Davis defeated Cody Hubenthan 7-5, 6-2 for the No. 4 supremacy.
At No. 5, Brent Coburn of Hendersonville defeated Caleb Plunkey 7-0, 6-4, to wrap up the best of nine sets for the team win.
In the battle between the No. 6 players, Frank Rivera of Jordan Matthews defeated Seth Horton in three sets, 6-3, 5-7 and 10-2.
Hendersonville Coach Jon Sherrill was unsure in the middle of the singles matches just how well his team would fare, since three of the players were having trouble against their opponents. However, two of the three players in question rebounded and won their matches to record the team victory without relying on the doubles matches.
Hendersonville played for the state title in 2007 but lost to Topsail in a close 5-4 battle. All but one of the players in last year's title matchup are back this season, and Sherill is hoping for a repeat trip to the title matchup, but with a better result.
"You always want to improve with each outing," said Sherill. "At this point you have to play better than you did last time out the farther you go into the playoffs."
The teams decided to play doubles and the results were Grove-Coburn (H) d. Ellis-Wilkerson 10-1; Beal-Horton (H) d. Stone-Hubenthaw 10-2; Kirkland-Davis (H) d. Plunkey-Rivera 10-4.

Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Nick Kypreos finished his NHL career with the Maple Leafs. Kypreos and Wayne Presley landed with the Leafs while Bill Berg and Sergio Momesso went the other way to the Rangers in a February 29, 1996 trade of veteran forwards.
The left-winger missed much of the 1996-97 season with a broken ankle and he sustained a career-ending concussion during the 1997 preseason. After 54 total games with Toronto over two seasons, Kypreos retired and quickly joined the Toronto television scene as a studio analyst on Leafs and NHL games carried across the country.
Undrafted to the NHL, Kypreos signed a free agent contract with the Philadelphia Flyers on September 30, 1984. He would go on to make his NHL debut as a member of the Washington Capitals on October 6, 1989 when they faced the Flyers.
Kypreos was a member of the Hershey Bears for their 1988 American Hockey League Calder Cup championship and he played in Game Seven for the New York Rangers when they defeated Vancouver in 1994 to claim their first Stanley Cup since 1940.
Kypreos was a standout goal scorer and a league All-Star with the North Bay Centennials of the Ontario Hockey League. He recorded 152 goals over his final three OHL seasons from 1984 to 1987.
In 442 career NHL games with the Capitals, Whalers, Rangers and Leafs, Kypreos recorded 46 goals, 44 assists, 90 points and 1,210 penalty minutes. His peak season came in 1992-93 when he recorded 17 goals and 325 penalty minutes in 75 games as a popular member of the Hartford Whalers.

GSD Course Bulletin - Fall 2010
This term's information was last refreshed on 08 MAY 2015 15:47:51.
Courses taught by Martin Bechthold
06317: CAD/CAM: Introduction to applications in Architecture (SCI 0631700)
Lecture - 4 credits
Tuesday 11:30 - 2:30 Gund 109
Martin Bechthold
Course Description
Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques, often referred to as digital fabrication techniques, are being widely adopted for the production of architecture. As technology evolves this rapidly changing field continually presents architects and designers with new challenges and opportunities. Recently emerging robotic technologies, for example, are now broadening the scope of more commonly used computer numerically-controlled (CNC) machines, allowing for new modes of expression and new efficiencies in production. Despite its focus on understanding the fundamentals of current and emerging fabrication technologies this course ultimate pursues questions of design, positioning and testing technology as a driver in creative design processes.Offered as an open enrollment lecture/workshop the course introduces students to the fundamentals of CAD/CAM, with a particular focus on applications in architecture, and with reference to product design and related industries. Of particular interest in the course will be the role of performance in relation to digitally driven design and fabrication methods. Topics include parametric digital modeling for fabrication, digital tooling approaches, fundamentals of fabrication including direct and indirect methods, CNC machine environments, industrial robotics, prototyping techniques, building systems, and customization strategies. Automation approaches to design and manufacturing will be introduced, juxtaposing industrial as well as shop-based concepts.Technologies are introduced through a combination of weekly lectures, labs and hands-on workshops. Field trips to local manufacturers provide a real-world exposure to the implementation of CAD/CAM technologies in the professional context. Assignments will include digital and physical prototypes, and students will make extensive use of the GSD's digital fabrication lab and its CNC-devices and industrial robots.

Indy: You just raided my heart.
I love Indy & Lara both, such a cute pic, but I've always wanted Lara to be Indies granddaughter lol.

I see them more as...competitors than romantics personally.
This has nothing to do with "Romantics", it's bascally them meeting for the first time, and him being a gentlemen.
Thanks dear <: so glad you liked them (:
No problem. I'm not really a big fan of Lara though, but she looks so adorable on your style that I kinda have to like her a little in this, lol
I've always loved her, for some strange damned reason but Indy in my heart forever (:
Oh yes, Indy <3 One super sexah son of a gun, if you dont mind me saying.

Many small and medium enterprises (SME) are afraid of using documentary credit such as Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees because of the complexity in getting a Letter of Credit, or fearing that it is too expensive. While it is certainly a complex procedure, why not let our experts…
We provide Letters of Credit (L/C), Stand-by Letters of Credit (SBLC), Proof of Funds (POF) and Bank Guarantees (BG). If you need a Letter of Credit or a Stand-by Letter of Credit, we are here to help. The various documents are used in the import-export trade to ensure smooth international transactions…
In addition to documentary credit, there are other consideraitons when dealing internationally. We can help with the bewildering array of acronyms and terms in INCOTERMS 2010 and the UCP-600 (Universal Customs and Practice of Documentary Credit (effective 2007). Our experts will examine your proposal, and …
About Us
We have partnered with a wide range of banks and financial institutions to provide documentary credit and other documents required by importers and exporters, and anybody else involved in international commerce. We can assist your business, no matter where you are located in….
Winning Ideas For Your Busines Growth
Many small and medium enterprises would like to make their business grow, and it is usually a matter of finance which holds them back. Tieing up the business's money in a large import deal can cripple a medium enterprise, and can be the end of a small enterprise. Bad weather, strikes, political turmoil and other unforseen events can cause delays in shipping. This means that the expected time-line blows out, causing extra financial strain on the business. That is where we can help, with Letters of Credit and/or Bank Guarantees. The majority of international trade companies, especially SME, do not benefit from these advantages as Letter of Credit is one of the most complex fields in international trade. Unfortunately not every company is able to hire an LC expert to deal with LCs professionally. That is why we founded LC Consultancy Services. We supply the best LC expertise available to international trade companies, especially SME, with unbelievably competitive prices.
The most commonly used documents in international trade are:
Letters of Credit (L/C)
Bank Guarantees (BG)
Stand-by Letters of Credit (SBLC)
Proof of Product (POP)
Proof of Funds (POF)
Proof of Assets (POA)
Have you ever considered using Documentary Credit, but decided against it for reasons such as:
- No clear idea how LCs work
- Lack of professional staff to handle LCs
- Rejection of your documents by banks
- Discrepancies that have been found on your documents so they cannot be fixed for timely presentation
- Discrepancy fees arising from incorrect documentation
- The fear of not getting paid at all due to discrepancies in documents
Our experts and the experts in the bank or financial institution will handle all of the complex procedures and documents, and ensure that your deal will be successful. If they conclude that there is no risk to you as the buyer or seller, then they will proceed with issuing the Documentary Credit documents relevant to your situation.
Documentary Credit is the transfer of money or guarantee of performance by using a Letter of Credit, Bank Guarantee or Stand-by Letter of Credit.
We can help small and medium enterprises (SME) to increase their trading abilities without greatly affecting their cashflow. We also offer assistance with other requirements for buyers such as Proof of Funds and Proof of Product. Contact us today to ask about your requirements.
To take advantage of our services is quite simple. Feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements or ask any questions. We will answer your questions within 36 hours (to allow for different time zones around the world. All services begin with an application form. To get our application forms, download here.

Haven't been there yet but this sounds like a store with a good policy! So is it worth a drive from the west side for a visit?

At the Gander Mountain store in Lake Mary today, I noticed a sign that stated that all firearms being brought into the store for service must be unloaded and checked at Customer Service.
Below this was a note saying that this does not apply to customers lawfully carrying concealed firearms.
Nice to see a store that "gets it".

If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good. ~ Thomas J. Watson, Jr.
It's pretty good - prices are not the lowest, but they have a good selection. Even some scary black rifles.
Handgun ammo is out on shelves, so you don't have to ask for assistance.

Learning to shoot again : Starting Over
I like Gander Mtn. personally. The prices on firearms are so-so, high on something, others are decent. I like not having to ask some high-schooler to get my handgun ammo for me. This policy is yet another reason to go there.
Fear No Evil.
I like Gander Mt., I used to use (mail-order) them before they got gobbled up by Cabela's.
Now I have to drive up to Fredericksburg, Va, since that's the closest store. (bought a used Winchester 1894 on my last visit)
A vote is like a rifle, its usefulness is based on the character of the user -T Roosevelt
If you carry a gun, some will call you paranoid. If I carry, what do I have to be paranoid about? -C Smith
An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. -J Cooper
Yes, I've been there. Love it, nice selection on display. FAR more guns than other stores in the area. Can touch and feel the long guns without taking a number and waiting FOREVER like Bass Pro Shop on I'Drive. Prices are so-so, or even high on some things, BUT they advised they were willing to match prices and were going to be doing some price adjusting soon.
My wife was not very impressed, did not have all the glamour and fancy rustic store fixtures like BPS, somewhat of a warehouse feel, but that did not bother me none. They had the reloading supplies I've been looking for and some good buys on cowboy action shooting guns !!!
To quote ParaC6 on this thread (post #10)I was at the new Gander Mountain yesterday and the sign by the Service Desk said "no loaded weapons allowed in the store" and then just underneath in Paras ( this does not apply to CCW holders)
Gotta love that !!!

Saw one of these at Turner's in Signal Hill too.
I live about two miles from a Gander Mountain and 45 minutes to a Cabela's.
I don't see any signage at Cabela's. Gander Mountain has a sign to check in with guns at the front desk, but I'm sure it's about trade-ins, service, etc.; it almost goes without saying that those with carry permits should walk right through, which is what we all do. And, even if they wanted us to check them at the front door, "concealed means concealed".
I like the Gander in Sherman, Texas, even though it is one of their smaller stores. Ammo on shelves for customers, long guns in racks available to customers, and generally helpful staff. Pricing is about right on ammo, sidearms priced pretty well, long guns can be priced as "loss leaders" sometimes.
They also have a decent selection of clothes and other gear.
Haven't been there recently to see if they have new signage, though. Got to love it if that's a new corporate policy!

Same type of sign up here in a local gun/ sporting good store. From what I understand , they allow their employees to carry as well.

AbstractAccurate performance prediction is essential to the development of Army rotorcraft as well as the support of flight operations. While current numerical analysis tools can, in principle, model complete rotorcraft, in practice these implementations are severely hampered by accuracy limitations broadly attributed to modeling assumptions (e.g., vortex core models in Lagrangian methods) or numerical deficiencies (e.g. excessive numerical diffusion for Eulerian CFD). Thus, commonly used analysis tools fail to predict adequately the unsteady wakes and load distributions of rotor and fuselage designs. An approach that combines the first-principles physical modeling capability of Eulerian schemes with the vortex preservation capabilities of Lagrangian vortex techniques has long been needed. Enabled by recently-developed breakthrough technologies in Eulerian wake modeling that specifically address the critical numerical diffusion issue, this effort will develop a first-principles Eulerian vorticity transport wake module that will provide an unprecedented ability to capture the true temporal and spatial structure of the rotor wake when coupled to a wide range of CFD tools. In Phase I, a prototype wake module was developed and demonstrated through coupling to several representative CFD models. Phase II will see key enhancements, validation and packaging of a module with significantly expanded functionality tailored to Army needs.

• Doppler-derived blood flow velocity and limb blood preshemosure measurements were used to characterize the hemodynamics of 128 in situ saphenous vein arterial bypasses. The magnitude and configuration of the graft velocity waveform was the best predictor of clinical outcome. Successful bypasses had antegrade flow throughout the pulse cycle and a blood flow velocity above 40 cm/s. A low graft blood flow velocity (<40 cm/s) was associated with technical error or early graft failure due to poor runoff. The return of normal limb blood pressure correlated with a technically satisfactory bypass but was measured in only 50% of limbs on the first day after surgery. In 28 bypasses with high blood flow velocity (mean±SD) in systole (102±20 cm/s) and diastole (35± 11 cm/s), postoperative limb blood pressure was initially low (mean ankle-brachial pressure index=0.68) due to restriction of blood flow through small-diameter (<4-mm) venous conduits. As revascularization hyperemia abated, diastolic blood flow velocity decreased and limb blood pressure normalized. Despite the high blood flow velocity and pressure gradient associated with flow-restrictive venous conduits, limb ischemic symptoms resolved, and graft patency was not decreased. An understanding of graft and limb hemodynamics after in situ bypass grafting is critical when noninvasive diagnostic techniques are used to document technical adequacy and for postoperative surveillance.

Congressman Grills DOJ, NSA Officials On Dragnet NSA Phone Spying On Americans
"How is having every phone call that I make to my wife, to my daughter, relevant to any terror investigation?"
Republican Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold grilled officials from the Department of Justice and the National Security Agency during a Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday on Capitol Hill on oversight of the FISA court.
"How is having every phone call that I make to my wife, to my daughter relevant to any terror investigation," Farenthold said to Deputy Attorney General James Cole.
"I don't know that every call you make," Cole said before being cut off by Farenthold.
"But you've got them," the Congressman interjected.
"I don't think that they would be relevant and we would probably not seek to query them because we wouldn't have the information that we need to make that query," Cole said.
"The fourth amendment specifically was designed to prohibit general warrants. How could collecting every piece of phone data be perceived as anything but a general warrant," Farenthold then asked Cole.
"Because the phone data according to the Supreme Court is not something within which citizens have a reasonable expectation of privacy," said Cole.
"So do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in any information that I share with a company? My Google searches? The emails I send? Do I have a reasonable expectation of privacy in anything but maybe a letter I hand deliver to my wife," the Congressman asked.
"Those are all dependent on the facts and circumstances of the documents we are talking about," said Cole. "In the case of metadata, the Supreme Court specifically ruled that there was not coverage by the fourth amendment because of no reasonable expectation of privacy."
"I just want to point out how concerned I am about this data being so easily available and just with the stroke of a pen Congress and the president could change the search criteria and change the definition of a terrorist," said Farenthold. "The fact that the data exists in the hands of the government. We saw what the IRS has done with tax returns targeting people for political beliefs."

I already told you how receiving positive feedback from our travelers is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Traveling is my passion, and when I know that everything we've done at Friendly Planet Travel has made for an unforgettable life experience for one of our travelers, well, there's nothing better than that.
Here's another one from our files, written by an experienced traveler after her first Friendly Planet Travel vacation on our Kenya Wildlife Safari. As always, we've done no editing to the original letter.
"Traveling to East Africa has been a long awaited dream for me. Last November, I was finally able to realize my dream by going on Friendly Planet's 2 week jeep safari to Kenya and Tanzania. The trip was organized locally by Vintage Africa. I cannot sing enough praises for Vintage Africa, and especially our driver guide in Kenya, James Mungai. James was an extremely knowledgeable and attentive guide. His ability to intelligently answer all of our sometimes unusual questions and spot wildlife from miles away never ceased to amaze us. James went out of his way to accommodate our needs and was always patient with all our requests, from stopping to photograph every sunset and tree cluster to positioning his vehicle for the perfect photo opportunity. As a seasoned traveler, I can truly say that this trip has been one of my favorites and having James as our guide contributed to making it so memorable. I can only hope that my next group excursion will be as enjoyable and well organized.

A customer's thoughts on Kenya Wildlife Safari
I already told you how receiving positive feedback from our travelers is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. Traveling is my passion, and when I know that everything we've done at Friendly Planet Travel has made for an unforgettable life experience for one of our travelers, well, there's nothing better than that.
Treasured memories from Italian Treasures
We love when our travelers give us feedback on their Friendly Planet Travel experiences. We want to know what we're doing right, so we can do it better. And if we're doing anything wrong, we want to make it right.
Our travelers are a vocal bunch. They're always willing to dish on their trips. We have testimonials flowing in literally every day. Now that we have a blog, we figure this is a great place to share our customers' unedited, unsolicited testimonials.
To kick this off, here's a letter we received last week from a Friendly Planeteer who experienced our Italian Treasures trip this past fall.
Again, this is the actual letter in its entirety, without any editing on our part:
"My mother and I along with 2 of our friends were part of the Italian Treasures tour from October 28-November 7. The trip was wonderful and we are very pleased that we chose Friendly Planet as our tour provider. Our tour director, Flavio Nicoletti, was top-notch in every way. He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly and fun-loving. He went out of his way on many occasions to ensure that our group had the best possible experience. He arranged wonderful excursions, including an evening at a Tuscan Farmstead which my travelmates and I will always remember as a highlight of our trip. I co-host a radio Morning Show in North Carolina. During the trip I called into the show to report on the trip. Flavio even agreed to join me during the call and go on the air with us! He did a great job! My friends and I now feel that we have a friend in Rome. We are so thankful to Flavio and to Friendly Planet for making our once-in-a-lifetime trip so special and memorable.

Averting disaster in China
There's nothing that illustrates the difference between a Friendly Planet
Travel tour and our competitors than how travelers experience a travel disaster.
Now, let's define disaster. That can be anything from someone getting sick
on the trip to losing a wallet or passport, to a snafu in the itinerary.
Here's a story, just in from a customer letter (pasted below) that falls into
the snafu category. As you read it, ask yourself how you would feel were you
in the same situation.
This happened recently during our Best
of China tour. Not even the weather man can always predict the
weather, right? Well, that was the case this winter in China.
Flights were grounded, and passengers (ours and others) were at risk for not
making the boarding of the Yangtze
River cruise. This is one of the most spectacular legs of the entire trip,
and you don't want to miss it.
Our Friendly Planet Travel tour guides quickly figured out an alternative
route, bought new tickets (without penalty to our passengers), corralled our
tourists, and set off on the new route. The day was saved.
While Friendly Planet's travelers boarded their cruise ship, hundreds of other
travelers were left stranded. They missed one of the most dramatic and exciting
parts of the trip.
to say, everyone on the Friendly Planet Travel tour was thrilled with our course
of action. Many have written to express their gratitude. Here's a copy of the
letter I just received, which sparked this blog post.
This is the actual letter, verbatim, without any editing.
"Meena and I had a wonderful time in China, especially making friendship with
fellow tourists. Each day was a great vacation with all kinds of relaxation
and plenty of food. Too much beer… breakfast, lunch and dinner. Overall our
last year China trip was memorable with the wonderful organization and planning
by Friendly Planet to make our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Taking
care of our needs and requirements (Vegetarian meals) and responding to various
emergencies were the commendable services of Friendly Planet and the tour guide.
We could have missed our joy of the Cruise if they have not administered the
alternate mode of flights and the bus ride to reach the destination when the
original flight was canceled due to weather condition.
In short, we had a ball each and every day with varieties of excursions, tours,
and high quality top rated hotels, restaurants and shows — we all got the
real value for the price. The openness and good communication of our tour guide,
Sim Liu, is greatly appreciated. The finale episode highlight in Beijing was
an important event with Riksha rides, kindergarten tour and visiting a Chinese
family. Friendly Planet is the way if you want to leave the worries of planning,
touring and eating, this being my second time experience with their services.
Last year we had a vacation to South America with their group.
Meena and Ram"

McShay has the Packers taking Gilbert in his latest mock draft.Hide replies
And after I type this, I see the thread on the Mock drafts. Been sick the last few days, and have pretty much missed everything that has gone on since early Tuesday Afternoon.
Lebron playing corner............Rodgers longevity is in question (isn't everyone's?)

used to be that you could only reach in sports journalism. it's a new world.
I remember when LeBron James first got to the NBA.
Everyone was all excited because they thought they had finally found their The Cullen Jenkins of basketball.
Dumbest article ever. And the search goes on for a "Michael Jordan" fullback. Stupid article.
A tall corner works for Seattle's defense where the defense jams the receivers and for some reason are allowed to grab and pull, especially in Seattle.
Green Bay's defense doesn't work this way. They NEVER jam receivers. A tall cornerback would be another case of the Packers not drafting for their defense.Hide replies
Not to mention the little push Sherman gives the WR just before his foot hits the ground every time to keep him off balance..
He gets away with getting in front of the WR and slowing down to take him out of the play..............This is all interference and for some reason they made this loud mouth the golden boy.
He's still on Adderall judging by how animated he is.
Skittles..................a joke get it? They are all on the skittles. More Adderall suspensions on that team than any others. They figured out how to use the synthetic urine to cheat the test.
They need to physically watch them pee like they did to Ricky Williams and he wasn't even on a performance enhancing drug. They need to really watch someone who is and has had a history of it....like Sherman.
Over half that defense is on the Skittles IMO.
Seattle plays the game correctly...touch football is for the coed league in the freshman dorms.
They are definitely soft on the edges...until Dom let them play later in the year. Pass rush...Pass rush...pick up an edge guy in FA and a safety Thompson...your script is not working.
who writes the headers? a lebron james type? a richard sherman or chancellor (sp) maybe.....geez tyler, pick it up!
Unless the Packers do a better job up front, they could have Wilt Chamberlain and Shaq O'Neill as corner backs and it wouldn't make a difference. It all starts up front. Period.Hide replies
Winston Moss is on it. I expect several pro bowl LB from the Pack this year.
Well, the quotes around the name, and the fact that it references a remark from a college coach, mitigate the lousy story angle.
But yeah, this is a fad. If you try and use big corners that aren't exceptionally fast and agile, you will get burned. The search for bigger corners is nothing new. It has to be balanced with speed and the ability to get in and out of your turns. The latter part is more important for a corner. It might help for a nickle or dime, but for an outside corner size will more often than not (much more often than not) lead to a short NFL career.Hide replies
Darrell Green could handle Moss very easily...Speed and agility...

Henry V (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
A triumphantly patriotic play that also casts a critical eye at war and warriors, this great epic drama depicts a charismatic ruler in a time of national struggle. The young King Henry's victory over the French despite overwhelming odds creates a spectacle of action, color, and thundering battles. Whether the warrior-king is urging his men Once more unto the breach, dear friends, or wooing Katharine of France, Henry is magnificently adapted to the role he must play in England's greatness. Henry V represents the culmination of Shakespeare's art as a writer of historical drama.
Each Edition Includes:
Comprehensive explanatory notes
Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship
Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English
Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories
An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography.
About the Author
Arguably the greatest English-language playwright, William Shakespeare was a seventeenth-century writer and dramatist, and is known as the Bard of Avon. Under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I, he penned more than 30 plays, 154 sonnets, and numerous narrative poems and short verses. Equally accomplished in histories, tragedies, comedy, and romance, Shakespeare s most famous works include Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, The Taming of the Shrew, and As You Like It.
Like many of his contemporaries, including Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare began his career on the stage, eventually rising to become part-owner of Lord Chamberlain s Men, a popular dramatic company of his day, and of the storied Globe Theatre in London.
Extremely popular in his lifetime, Shakespeare s works continue to resonate more than three hundred years after his death. His plays are performed more often than any other playwright s, have been translated into every major language in the world, and are studied widely by scholars and students.

Benghazi Suspect Pleads Not Guilty in D.C. Court
<span>Ahmed Abu Khattala was captured a couple weeks ago. </span>
Ahmed Abu Khattala, the designated terrorist who was free to enjoy fruity drinks with reporters until Special Operations forces captured him a couple weeks ago, has pleaded not guilty to masterminding the fatal attack on the American embassy in Benghazi, Libya. The New York Times reports that Abu Khattala arrived in Washington, D.C. this morning, having been transported from a Navy warship via helicopter. He was accompanied by the half dozen or so FBI agents who had been traveling with and questioning him on the ship.
The Washington Post reports that Abu Khattala walked into the courtroom, located about a mile from the White House, at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, unshackled and "wearing a black zip-up hoodie and black pants." His public defender told U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola that her client was not guilty of "conspiracy for mutual support" in the 2012 attack, and Abu Khattala "indicated through an interpreter that he understood the proceedings and would tell the truth." Federal officials told the Post that Abu Khattala — who the State Department has described as a "senior leader" of the terrorist group Ansar al-Shari'a — will likely be indicted on additional charges.
Law enforcement officials say that they have "plenty of evidence to convict this guy," though safety concerns prevented investigators from visiting the Benghazi crime scene until several weeks after four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed there. From the Times:
While American intelligence agencies were able to intercept electronic conversations that could help the investigation, their classified nature makes them problematic to use in a public criminal trial, according to the officials. The case is expected to be presented mainly on eyewitness accounts and video from the scene. Hundreds of hours of video from security cameras and other sources were analyzed to produce a narrative of the time leading up to the attacks, the siege of the mission and the C.I.A. annex, and the aftermath, one of the officials said.
Abu Khattala's trial is expected to be "lengthy." Combine that with certain Republicans' apparently endless fascination with Benghazi and Hillary Clinton's recent reemergence into (a more prominent place in) the public eye, and we're certain to be in for yet another round of conspiracy theories, "distractions," and trenchant analysis:
Um...why is this Benghazi terrorist in a U.S. court? We're at war. Put him in Gitmo for life or kill him. http://t.co/3tnQQcrAid— Joe Walsh (@WalshFreedom) June 28, 2014

I'm not old enough or dumb enough to use words like "ever," but jockeys will play a bigger role in Friday and Saturday's Breeders' Cup World Championships than perhaps any major racing stage we've witnessed in at least the past few decades.
When Keeneland introduced Polytrack to major-league American races, jockeys rode it like it was moon sand or broken shards of glass. They tip-toed through ludicrous paces, desperately trying to save enough horse to have something left for the stretch drive. That's not just an observation, but there are numbers to back it up.
The average opening half-mile in route races during the 2007 Keeneland spring meeting was a pedestrian :49.59 seconds. That's the meeting everyone still remembers because of the laughable early waltz in the Blue Grass Stakes that upended Street Sense. Now compare that to the :48.36 average for the recently completed fall meeting in Lexington, and you'll see that after about 600 races, finally some once-thought norms are changing. The final times have remained remarkably steady over those meetings, but the way they were accomplished has become more American and less voodoo -- speed early is okay, after all.
America's greatest weapon is its speed, and for riders to pull back and milk the early pace simply surrenders their mounts' greatest advantages. Let a good horse stay in the thick of the race, and be certain that he or she will find a way to beat you. Run them off their feet and take your chances -- now that has long been the American racing battle cry.
The current Oak Tree at Santa Anita meeting has taken on a notorious reputation has being anti-speed. And while six-furlong sprint races have vastly underperformed the national dirt average (about 20 percent wire-to-wire winners locally vs. low-40s nationally), route races on the Pro-Ride actually have seen a higher percentage of wire-to-wire winners than many tracks with dirt surfaces (about 28 percent when you blend the 1 mile and 1-1/16 mile races). Dirt tracks like Aqueduct, Calder and Hawthorne currently are in the low to mid-20s for route wire thefts, while speed-blazened Meadowlands currently sees about 32 percent route wins on the front end. In other words, Oak Tree is less out-of-whack than you probably have heard.
Certainly the results of last year's Breeders' Cup will send many in the jockeys' room into a pace tailspin. Of the eight main-track races, it's true that six of them were won by horses who closed from 7-1/2 lengths or more behind the early pacesetter. Only Midshipman (Juvenile) raced on or near the lead and got his picture taken. But legitimate speed horses like Midshipman and Fatal Bullet (Sprint runner-up) ran their races. They were the only two early pacesetters on either BC championship day bet to 5-to-1 or less odds, and they ran first and second in their respective races. And it's tricky logic to base hard-fact trends on eight races total spread over two different days. Still, you know it's in the mind of many handicappers and jockeys alike.
The most incredible stat to come out of the 2009 Breeders' Cup is this: Only two American jockeys won a race in the eight main-track offerings, Garrett Gomez and Mike Smith. Gomez rang the bell four times and Smith twice. The other races were won by Ireland's Patrick Smullen in a 1-1/2 miles Marathon that defied anything American, and Italian Frankie Dettori's Classic score on Raven's Pass at 1-1/4 miles. For those making quick-pattern judgments, see anything there? The two longest races produced two European winners with European riders. The Euros were shut out of the six shortest BC races on Pro-Ride. I'm not willing to call that hard news yet, but you see my point.
On a track that certainly appears trickier to navigate than traditional dirt, the emphasis on a quality rider was stark last year. Gomez and Smith are among the best big-race riders in the game, and no doubt they piloted some awfully noble steeds, let us not forget.
The other American riders need to take Gomez's lead and not be so passive. Not only did Gomez win four times, but he put his horses into the race early in several of his main-track defeats (Juvenile Fillies, Ladies' Classic, Marathon and Classic). In short, he rode his horses the way they do their best running and let their talents stack up with the worldly challengers.
John Velazquez will be a very interesting "read" in this year's Breeders' Cup as he pilots several divisional contenders with some early foot on both surfaces. I've noticed Johnny V. to be far more aggressive in recent big races when he has the chance, and expect him to be a guy not afraid of the pace voodoo this weekend. Other riders who will be in the speed spotlight include Elvis Trujillo (Presious Passion, Turf), Bobby Landry (Careless Jewel, Ladies Classic), Edgar Prado (D'Funnybone, Juvenile), Rajiv Maragh (Seventh Street, Filly & Mare Sprint), Victor Espinoza (Zensational, Sprint), Kent Desormeaux (Dynaforce, Filly & Mare Turf), Richard Migliore (Regal Ransom, Classic), and the aforementioned Gomez (Cowboy Cal, Mile).
Regardless of surface, early speed is a dangerous asset when it is lonesome. Several of the grass races have heist potential if their riders don't give away their tactical edge and slow things down. Keep the pedal to the metal and see if the Europeans like chasing a half-mile in :46-and-change. Don't invite them to the party at the top of the stretch, or you're not going to like the results.
Jockeys should matter big-time at this year's Breeders' Cup. And while everyone else clamors to find which European to bet, I'll be starting my handicapping with which horse Garrett Gomez is riding. Until someone else shows me they have a championship-level grasp of riding those surfaces on the grandest stage, at least I go into my evaluations knowing Go-Go will have his mount in the right spot to show if they are good enough to get the job done. That's all you can ask of a jockey.

Potter County has extended its burn ban until at least Friday.
In an order issued Friday by County Judge Arthur Ware, the ban was extended because of the continuing threat of grass fires. The ban prohibits most outdoor burning, but does not include burning of household trash or barbecuing. The ban declares a local state of disaster outside the city limits of Amarillo because of dry vegetation conditions.
A similar ban remains in effect in Randall County.

Last night's episode of Saturday Night Live was pretty epic if you ask me. I was seriously laughing my head off the whole time. Justin Timberlake was back to host for his fifth time and to celebrate the occasion, several veterans from the "Five Timers Club" came back to welcome to the club. The famous faces included Paul Simon, Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, Martin Short, Alec Baldwin, Candace Bergen, and Tom Hanks. They all joined him early on in the episode, but Aykroid & Martin came back again later as their "two wild and crazy guys" characters in the "It's A Date" dating game sketch. By the end of that segment, Timberlake and Andy Samberg joined in and they became four "wild and crazy guys". Poor Bobby Moynihan was left out of the equation.
There were so many funny moments in the episode, from Justin talking about peeing on people's faces to commercials about vaginal bling and so much more. I also loved the Champagne sketch, with the two characters we fell in love with after the Swarovski Crystals sketch when Jamie Foxx was hosting. This time, their ad was for Moet & Chandon. "One time I did a weird shoot in Messico and the two other girls went missing, but I'm still here. Thanks Champagne!"
Check out some of the sketches from last night below. I'm totally rewatching the entire episode later on.
This weekend, Justin Timberlake will be hosting SNL for the fifth time and in addition to being the host, he's also the musical guest. The promos for the March 9 episode have come out and it's Kenan Thompson that is the cast member that joins JT in the video clips.
In the video, we see several of the promo clips, touching upon JT's "Suit & Tie," the fact that he's doing both hosting and musical guest duties, and more. As you can see in the screen shot above, they joke that JT is also the camera guy, the sound guy, and the makeup guy as well. In addition to SNL, Timberlake will be performing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon each night between March 11 – 15, and will be sitting down with Fallon for interviews at the beginning and end of the week.
Check out the SNL promo video clips below!
Just announced today, Justin Timberlake will be hosting Saturday Night Live on March 9! In addition, it's a double whammy because he'll also be the musical guest!
This is going to be Timberlake's fifth time hosting SNL, where he's been a part of some pretty memorable sketches that include Andy Samberg's "Dick in a Box," a spoof of the video shoot for Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," and the "3-Way (The Golden Rule)" music video with Lady Gaga and Andy Samberg.
In addition to SNL, Timberlake will be performing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon each night between March 11 – 15, and will be sitting down with Fallon for interviews at the beginning and end of the week. Check out some of Justin Timberlake's memorable sketch performances on SNL below. I Timber-LIKE all of this Timberlake! I can't wait to see this upcoming episode!
This weekend, Justin Bieber is working double time as both the host and the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
In this week's promo, Bieber is paired up with the hilarious Keenan Thompson and they appear to be in one of the control rooms in the studio. When Bieber hits a certain button, all of the screens reveal pictures of Bieber and Bieber is creeped out. In another clip, Thompson can't stop making "Believe" puns and it drives Bieber crazy. The promos aren't insanely funny so hopefully the episode is much better. Hopefully he's able to make fun of himself and some of the controversy as of late (ie. sexy Instagram photos, pot-smoking, grabbing a fan's boob etc.). Apparently he has actually given the writers free reign to take on any marijuana gags so that's promising.
Watch Bieber on SNL this coming Saturday, February 9 11:30pm ET/PT on NBC. Check out the promos below!
Last night, Adam Levine ditched his bandmates once again to take the spotlight and tackle the hosting duties of Saturday Night Live. Levine already appeared on the show this season with his band Maroon 5 as a musical guest. In his opening monologue, Levine poked fun at himself admitting that he was overachieving and attempting to act. Well, as long as you recognize it buddy. What made his opening monologue so stellar was the spoofing of his reality show, The Voice. Three chairs turned around in the opener revealing former SNL'er Andy Samberg, Cameron Diaz and Jerry Seinfeld. In the end, Levine ended up with his shirt off.
The overall tone of Adam's sketches where, erm, gay. I mean heavily. Starting with the hilarious talk-show sketch Circle Work alongside Kenan Thomas where the two homosexual hosts dished out gay advice to straight people. They even convinced Jason Sudekesis' character that was in fact gay. And can I say that Levine played the part really well. The gay themes didn't stop there. In the sketch Firehouse Incident, Bill Hader took on the role of a jealous ex-boyfriend who loses his mind over Levine hitting on his ex-girl from 9 years ago whom he dated for two weeks. Hader's character was an overly dramatic homosexual and was really hilarious.
But the icing on last night's cake was the sketch Adam and Janet where SNL player Bobby Monahan donned a ginger wig and glasses as a Yonker's living, Maroon 5 fan who fed Levine a few pills to take him home with her. Check out a majority of Adam's skits below and vote in the poll on which was your favorite Overall, I thought Adam gave a strong performance minus that awful music throw down/rumble with Train, Jason Mraz and John Mayer. Definitely the weakest of the night. Did you watch SNL last night? How did you think Adam did? Share your thoughts below.
This weekend on Saturday Night Live, Adam Levine isn't the musical guest… he's the host! The musical guest is actually Kendrick Lamar. The promos for this week's episode have just been released and the hilarious Bobby Moynihan is Levine's right hand man for the clips.
In the first clip, Moynihan comments on the fact that Levine has already been a musical guest and now he's a host so he nervously asks, "What's next?" Levine responds, "Sleep with a cast member." From there, they look at each other and slowly slide out of frame, not before Moynihan gazes right down at Levine's crotch. LOL.
In the last clip, Moynihan shares with Levine that it's his first time doing promo clips and he doesn't know where the camera is. When he's told where the camera is, he freaks out and runs away in the opposite direction. Watch the funny promos below.
This weekend, Golden Globe-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence hosted Saturday Night Live and did a fantastic job. I watched it with Adam and Tyrell and prior to the episode, Adam revealed to us that he wasn't a big fan of her but after watching her on SNL, he changed his mind.
In her opening monologue, Lawrence poked fun at all of her fellow Academy Award nominees, bragging that they had no shot at winning against her. As for her sketches, they were all strong for the most part. Two of my favorites were the "Girlfriends Talk Show" where she played this bad-ass bisexual and "50s Diner" where she played the most awful waitress ever.
Although she wasn't in it, there was a mock Starbucks Verismo commercial that was absolutely hilarious as well. Watch the sketches again below and share which one was your favorite in the comments.
This weekend, Golden Globe Award winner Jennifer Lawrence will be hosting Saturday Night Live for the first time, with musical guest The Lumineers. The actress won her GG Award earlier this week for Best Actress in a Movie Comedy or Musical for Silver Linings Playbook, so it seems only fitting that she should bring some of that comedic talent to SNL.
Lawrence had joked at the beginning of her Golden Globe acceptance speech by saying, "Look what it says, it says I beat Meryl." She had received a bit of backlash following the awards as people said it was a diss to Meryl Streep, but she later explained that it's actually a quote from The First Wives Club. Regardless, everyone needs to settle down – LOL.
The promos for her SNL hosting gig have been release, with Lawrence alongside Jason Sedekis. The two make some Golden Globes jokes, perform some archery from The Hunger Games, an more. I love Lawrence's sass and have always thought her to be quite funny in interviews. Can't wait to watch this weekend! Watch the new SNL promo videos below.

Feb. 8, 2000 (Atlanta) -- Androstenedione, the popular supplement called 'andro,' might increase blood levels of the male hormone testosterone, but that does not mean taking it will lead to bigger muscles, experts say. And it could mean the development of potentially serious side effects down the road.
"For one thing, I do not think it should be classified as a dietary supplement," says Gary Wadler, MD, associate professor of clinical medicine at the New York University School of Medicine and an advisor to the U.S. government's 'drug czar.' "At the very least, it should be classified as a prescription drug ... Simply put, you're ingesting a supplement that your body is converting into a controlled substance."
Putting federal drug laws aside, Wadler says there's also a good health reason to avoid andro: the possibility of long-term adverse effects. "Clearly, we know from a variety of experiences with humans, that the effects [of hormones] may not be manifest for months, years, decades later." Wadler says an example of this phenomenon is the potential increased risk of cancer, many years later, in women who used the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
"You have to remember that testosterone is metabolized ... to estrogen," Wadler says. It's the reason bodybuilders using drugs similar to androstenedione -- anabolic steroids -- sometimes develop large breasts and shrunken testicles. "People taking anabolic steroids have long known that is something they have to deal with," he says. "It was the price they had to pay for increased strength." The question is whether they'll pay a much higher price in years ahead.
And still open for debate is whether taking andro will even result in increased strength. Bodybuilding dogma says more male hormone means a greater potential for bigger muscles. But an endocrinology expert says that when it comes to andro, that's not necessarily so. "The amount of testosterone [produced] is not as important as the amount that can bind to particular tissues," says William Kraemer, PhD, professor and director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University in Muncie, Ind.
Testosterone binds to all sorts of tissues, Kraemer explains, so there's a real question whether muscle tissue benefits in particular from higher blood levels of the hormone. "If [androstenedione builds muscles], nobody's proven it yet," he says. "We're in the early stages of understanding it scientifically."
