Ski jumper Sarah Hendrickson of Park City really wanted to win the junior world championships Thursday.
But she didn't even come close.
The 18-year-old who's ranked second in the world evidently buckled under the pressure of the moment, and allowed a disastrous first jump to doom her to a disappointing sixth-place finish while 16-year-old rival Sara Takanashi of Japan claimed her second straight title in Liberec, Czech Republic.
"Sarah didn't have the best day," coach Paolo Bernardi said, "and that's really hard for her because she's coming off a great competition in Hinterzarten [Germany] and really good training jumps earlier this week. She really wanted to be on the top today and was feeling that pressure. Her first jump was not typical at all for her level, but she came back in the second round and had a solid, good jump."
Hendrickson jumped only 89 meters on her first jump, nearly 10 meters less than usual. She soared 97 meters on her second jump, but that wasn't nearly good enough to catch Takanashi, who jumped 98.5 and 102 meters for a final score of 268 points.
Hendrickson scored 241.
"Ski-jumping is a sport in which [the] head decides," Hendrickson told Ladies-SkiJumping.com. "From this point of view, I have not managed well at all in the first round. I was overmotivated."
The event came only 11 days after Hendrickson and Takanashi each won one of the two World Cup events in Hinterzarten. It was the second victory of the season for Hendrickson, but Takanashi has won four of the eight events so far and leads the overall standings with four stops and eight competitions remaining.
The next major competition for the women's ski jumpers will be the world championships Feb. 21-22 at Val di Fiemme, Italy.

I ordered mine (32GB Gold) yesterday...it says it probably won't ship until Nov. 1st-Nov. 21st! So lame, that's forever away! I think Apple did this on purpose so they could make the news with "outages" and "pushed back shipping dates." They should be prepared for this by now! Yes I'm only complaining cause I have to wait so f-ing long!
My 16 gig gold was shipped sunday from China, it left Alaska earlier this afternoon and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow! Got someone who wants to trade their 16 gig space gray + 250$ for my gold! Winning!

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by CATCH17, Nov 29, 2012.
The failure is on those who hyped him up as if he were the second coming of Moose Johnston.
you also have to be good.
I still like Vickers, but he has been a terrible dissapointment on the field.
Yeah, it makes you think.
This gang is just soft. All of Dallas' "leaders" are nice guys, or have become nice guys after some time.
Poppinga will be cut for not being the RKG.
Going full speed when the rest of the team has been instructed to play to "thud" is not tough, it is idiotic.
Therein very well may be the issue with the Cowboys in general.
he has not impressed anyone in any game at all
massive disapointment
I think you mean the other way around, right? I mean someone on roids is more animal than human
Right. I'd rather watch people acting like sentient beings. Romanowski was an animal. He's not so good as a human.
Exactly. No one practices full speed all the time. It's not allowed by the CBA, and it would be stupid even if it was allowed.
For the most part, but he also is nursing some injuries and probably doesn't appreciate the contact during a practice.
Poppinga is practicing for a job and Vickers is practicing.
First of all.. I don't think anyone said anything bad about Vickers in all this.
I do like the intensity and a little craziness that Popp is bringing already though. Reminds me of the LB from The Replacements movie haha.
We need a little crazy on this defense.
Im pretty sure you're allowed to practice full speed.. and if you arn't practicing full speed, why even practice?
If its not a walkthrough session.. i see no reason not to go full speed. If you don't you arn't really learning anything anyway because reading and reacting at game speed is a hell of alot different than just half arsing it. You arn't preparing yourself for Sunday if you're just out there dogging it.
Hell man.. a couple years ago people were all over Anthony Spencer's jock over him saying he wasn't practicing hard enough and it was effecting his play in games.. now all of a sudden we expect guys to not be going hard?
Silly Cowboys fans..
We talkin bout practice? practice? not a game, but practice?
I think I hope what Poppinga has is contagious.
Problem is, with the new CBA, and the limited number of times you can practice in pads, pretty much all practices are in cupcake mode. Plus, with the number of injuries we've had, the last thing you want is for a guy to go down in practice.
I want tough guys, not crybabies. If Vickers was pissed, he should have punched him in the face.
The LAST guy you want whining about playing through the whistle is your full back.
Someday, before I leave this world, I hope to get the pleasure of enjoying the Cowboys as a well coached, physical, hard-nosed, and intelligent team. Sadly, I don't have such hope. So frustrating.

BREVARD, N.C. - Ashley Fincher's 77th minute shot deflected off a Southern Wesleyan defender and into the back of the net, providing the lone goal in Brevard's 1-0 win Monday afternoon at the Brevard Soccer Field. The win moves the Tornados to 4-4 (0-1 SAC), while SWU drops to 5-1.
With less than 13 minutes remaining in the contest, Fincher (Burns, Tenn.) took control of a free ball at the top of the box and launched her only shot of the match. The strike immediately deflected off the foot of a Warrior defender and straight up into the air. SWU goalkeeper Sierra Threatt (Atlanta, Ga.) came off her line to pluck the ball out of the air, but badly misjudged its trajectory, allowing the ball to land over her head and bounce into the net. Nikki Peacock (Uxbridge, Ontario), who scored the game-winner last Wednesday against North Greenville, was credited with the assist, and the Tornados took a 1-0 lead.
Southern Wesleyan was given a golden opportunity to even the score in the 80th minute when Brevard's Chelsea Freeman (Charlotte, N.C.) was whistled for a foul inside of the 18-yard box. But Rosy Escobar's (Houston, Tex.) penalty kick was wide of the goal, preserving the Brevard lead and ultimately granting Liz Stojetz's team the victory.
Brevard's Bailey Varley (Concord, N.C.) nearly iced the game in the 86th minute with a strike from the left side of the box. The shot bounced past Threatt but was denied by the far side post. Fortunately for BC, the goal was unneeded, as SWU was unable to find the scoreboard.
The Tornados grabbed the victory despite struggling to control possession for most of the afternoon. Southern Wesleyan outshot Brevard 17-10, including a 10-1 margin in the first half. Brevard keeper Sydney Douglas (Houston, Tex.) stopped all seven shots on goal, including a breakaway attempt from Jackie Tubbs (Athens, Ala.) in the 86th minute that also nearly tied the score. Threatt stopped four of the five Brevard shots on goal.
The win marks the second season in a row that Stojetz's team has won four games. Last season, the Tornados earned victory number four in their 11th contest (a 2-1 win over Converse on September 26), but they went winless in their final nine matches.
Brevard returns to the pitch Wednesday, for their second SAC match of 2008, against Newberry College. First kick is set for 4 p.m. South Wesleyan hosts North Greenville on Saturday at 4 p.m.


text: I had a look around the net, and found some of the Norwegian origins of the penny loafer: In the late 19th century, fishermen and farmers in Aurland and the Sognefjord area in Western Norway were known for making light shoes of the moccasin type, initially for their own use, but occasionally for sale – this developed into a cottage industry in the true sense of the word. In the second half of the 19th century, there was an influx of upper-class British sports salmon fishermen in the very good rivers of coastal Norway, particularly western Norway. The salmon season would start in mid-summer, and would last into early autumn. The "salmon lords", as they were called locally, wanted a light shoe that could easily be slipped on and off during riverside fishing. Two villagers, Vebjørn S. Vangen og Andreas S. Vangen, started making and repairing shoes for the Brit fishermen, until production of the light moccasin became a full-time employment for them. Another villager, Nils Tveranger, was the first to start regular production of the model still known in Norway as the "Aurland shoe". It was exhibited at the Paris exposition in 1900. As other jet-setting salmon-fishers (Coco Chanel among them) watered out the British and German dominance of tourism and outdoor sport in Norway in the inter-war years, it seems that they brought the shoes back to their various homes. The Aurland shoe obtained its present form in the twenties. After WWII, production increased greatly, and in the fifties around 90 persons in the village were employed in shoe production, spread out on 12 different small workshops in the village, and a few others in the vicinity. This industry would have dominated the life of the entire village, just on the strength of employment numbers. The present firm called – no surprise here - "Aurlandsko" was established in the late forties. In the late sixties, a big hydro-electric power-plant was built close to Aurdal, and most people in the village found better-paid work connected to the power-plant. The factory presently has six employees, down from around 90 in its heyday. Production, which in the early years was mainly done in private homes and small shops, is today centralized in a modern locality. When production was at its peak in the 1940's and 50's, around 90 people were engaged, and the shoe was completely hand sown. Today there are about six people employed and work is partially done by machine. A sidenote: In 1947, the mayor of Aurdal received a letter from the Norwegian embassy to the US: The industrialist and at that time aide to the Secretary of the Treasury, Arthur Gardner, later US ambassador to Cuba, had bought a pair of Aurland shoes, one might guess while visiting in Norway before WWII, and wanted a few new pairs. He made a private request to the Norwegian ambassador, with a sketch of the "slippers", as he called them, attached. Gardner had no idea where the shoes were made, but the embassy concluded that he referred to the Aurland shoes, after studying his sketch. After consultation with the village council, the local mayor had four pairs of shoes made, and after three months, four pairs of "moccasins", as they were called in the invoice, were sent to Washington by air mail.

Under the leadership of President Obama, the United States has put gender equality and the advancement of women and girls at the forefront of the three pillars of U.S. foreign policy–diplomacy, development, and defense. This is embodied in the President's National Security Strategy, the Presidential Policy Directive on Global Development, and the 2010 U.S. Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review. Women's empowerment is critical to USAID's core mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity and addressing pressing health and education challenges.
President Obama set forth a new vision of a results-driven USAID that would lead the world in development. We have risen to this challenge, pioneering a new model of development that emphasizes partnerships, innovation, and results. We are guided in these efforts by a new mission statement: we partner to end extreme poverty and promote resilient democratic societies while advancing our security and prosperity. Combating wildlife trafficking and the promotion of conservation are critically important to USAID and our mission. Conservation, which includes combating wildlife trafficking, is fundamental to human development and in achieving sustainable development.
This afternoon, I want to share with you our perspective on the vital role of U.S. foreign assistance in this region and how USAID's development programs address regional challenges and advance American interests. Across the East Asia-Pacific, USAID has eight field missions that provide support to 22 countries. By nature of our mission, to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies, USAID advances U.S. security and prosperity while furthering the core objectives of the Administration's Rebalance to the Asia-Pacific. The President's robust Fiscal Year 2015 budget request of $810.7 million for Department of State and USAID assistance in East Asia and the Pacific enables USAID to continue helping to lay the foundations for lasting progress in the region.
In Mexico, as in the rest of the region, USAID is increasingly focused on helping the region's governments promote the rule of law and reduce crime and violence, while furthering respect for human rights. This is a matter of national security for the United States, as my colleagues have just noted, as well as an economic and political imperative for the affected countries. Continued insecurity is a severe drain on private and public investment in the Americas, a leading constraint to economic growth in some countries, and is also arguably the greatest threat to democracy in the affected countries.
USAID partners around the world to end extreme poverty and promote resilient, democratic societies, while advancing our security and prosperity. Our work in Northern Nigeria highlights the nexus between security, stability and poverty reduction. We are committed to working with Nigeria to build a peaceful society that promotes inclusive economic growth and lifts its citizens out of poverty.
One month ago, Boko Haram militants kidnapped more than 250 young girls from their school in an attack so shocking it mobilized the world behind returning these girls to their families. But this latest brutality was not an isolated incident. For years, Boko Haram has terrorized the people of Northern Nigeria through bombings, kidnapping, and sexual violence.
In 2011, President Obama said: "Asia will largely define whether the century ahead will be marked by conflict or cooperation, needless suffering or human progress." With one-fifth of the world's population—a third of which is living in extreme poverty—South Asia is a central focus of U.S. development assistance to ensure that the coming century is one marked by cooperation and human progress that extends mutual prosperity and security across the Asia-Pacific region.
Nowhere in the world is development such an important part of U.S. engagement efforts as it is in Africa, and the changing tide on the continent requires a new style of engagement. Today, Africans are the architects of their development, not just beneficiaries. Donors support their plans, they do not dictate them. Citizens demand democracy, not autocracy, and they are seizing the opportunities that come with better education, better health, and better public services.
Alongside the investments the United States has already made in the Middle East and North Africa, the President's FY 2015 budget request ensures USAID programs will continue to support the needs and aspirations of the region's people during this critical period of change. Our continued engagement with the people of the region serves as the foundation of our partnership with the countries of the region and will allow us to contribute to lasting growth, prosperity and peace.
As President Obama said in the 2013 State of the Union address, "We also know that progress in the most impoverished parts of our world enriches us all—not only because it creates new markets, more stable order in certain regions of the world, but also because it's the right thing to do."
As we step forward to answer the President's call with renewed energy and focus, we remain committed to engaging the American people and serving their interests by leading the world to end extreme poverty.

Fantastic staff and great clean & modern rooms
Beds were too small (need queen beds) and would like small fridge. If had these items, stay would have been perfect.
The bed was very comfortable and the view was great. We actually had a staff member unlock our door and enter our room without knocking first - it was our anniversary stay, so needless to say, it was a rather uncomfortable encounter. We had stayed here before the flood of 2008 and subsequent remodel. The pool looked like it got smaller and there was no hot tub. Not sure why they wouldn't add one with the multi-million dollar remodel? The bathroom was tiny - you can barely close the door without it hitting you. 2 staff members called in sick to the restaurant, so there were only 3 people trying to serve everyone for breakfast. Overall, not worth having to pay for the parking ramp, expensive undercooked breakfast, and feeling like anyone would walk into your room at any time.
Not much. Bathrooms smaller then most RV's. No queen or king beds, only doubles. Freight trains run all night within 50 feet of property, no sleep. Restaurant has poor service. It was a breakfast buffet. We asked for waters and the three staff members wouldn't serve us water, said we had to wait for OUR server, who apparently on break. Waiting 10 minutes for the water. Poor experience overall.

It's interesting to note the arrival of Serve from American Express, which is a PayPal-like, debit card platform.
AmEx's move to debit cards is a bold one, of course, and follows the introduction of V.me offered by Visa, which essentially does the same thing.
The Serve name is interesting for the same reason I did not like the V.me name.
First of all, AmEx uses Serve.com, which is intuitive. V.me is not, simply because people are not yet used to typing .me quite yet.
I think Visa is a great brand. A classic brand. And certainly one of the most recognizable credit card brands. And there lies the problem.
Just looking at the V.me site makes me think credit, while people who use these services really need to think of it as debit and P2P payment options.
Online payment systems that look like a credit card could be dangerous.
The Wall Street Journal points out that while AmEx has tried many times to broaden its appeal, it is still associated with the "more-affluent" market.
In this naming move, AmEx is trying to move away from their well heeled name to appeal to the rest of consumers.
The colors, typography, and font are all very different styles than what we typically see from AmEx, which gives it a much more modern look.
Still, no matter how well this is done, it is still an AmEx product.
Consumers, most likely, are always going to associate AmEx with credit cards.

Ty for the pics.
I'll try #4 formula also. Looks like its working . How thick did you apply glaze?
That is the problem I am having. It's like obleck. What is the term? it flocculates?? Settles to the bottom? So, when the article said it needs to be thick, that was my first challenge. It sort of clumps. So the second time I applied, I thinned the glaze a great deal and put numerous coats on the picture you see. But it still clumped up. Soooooo the next time I use it I will thin it a LOT and try to spray it on. Let me know if anyone has better ideas. If we can figure it out, it will be such a pretty glaze. Not functional I am assuming because of the crackles, but it will be beautiful. thanks for your help with the pictures Biglou

Rock band the Spin Doctors will prove they are more than just a one hit wonder when they perform next month, writes Andy Bloss.
To the wider world, the Doctors (as they are known by their fans), are the band behind huge 1991 hit Two Princes, as well as tunes like Little Miss Can't be Wrong and Pocket Full of Kryptonite.
But in 2013, lead singer Chris Barron, drummer Aaron Comess, guitarist Eric Schenkman and bassist Mark White went back to their blues roots as they released their new album The River Was Whiskey.
The American band, who spent their early days picking up any gigs they could on the New York circuit, are now playing at venues across Europe.
In February they are travelling to London, Amsterdam, Paris and Belgium as they showcase songs new and old.
And when they come back to Croydon it will be like taking a step back in time as one of the first gigs they played outside of the United States was at the Croydon Cartoon, which has since closed.
Their new album, which is very much rooted in the blues, has hit the right notes, with lead singer Chris Barron saying they have had some of the best reviews ever.
He says: "We have actually had the best reviews for an album we have done, which has been very nice, we have done something right I guess.
"We have never done a straight up blues album before. We have managed to sound old school without being crust and clichéd and all the songs are original."
He describes how one of the first gigs the band ever did outside of the States was at the now closed Croydon Cartoon.
He says: "There were some blokes in there who thought we were from Mars but they followed us around to the rest of our gigs.
"I ran into one of those guys a little while ago in New York City. Yes, we're very much looking forward to coming back."
What can the audience expect from the gig?
"We will be playing stuff from our new record If The River Was Whiskey and plenty of the fan favourites. They can expect us to play our guts out. We work really hard on our songs so you don't have to worry about listening to a bunch of crap just to hear the songs you know."
Barron adds: "If you honestly don't think we played our hearts out, I'll buy you a pint. We're pretty damned entertaining, the guys can really play and people seem to like my singing."

Are your parents engaged in social media?
Although my parents are not social media fanatics like some older people I know. But I do see a number of my friends parents who are very much engaged in social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram. They do occasionally posts photos of themselves and their family on Facebook but as I saw their activities online I have realized that they seem to have a steady social media routine.
No, not at all. Email and Skype is as far as they go.
My dad has a Facebook account which he logs into about once a year. He gets confused when people 'poke' him.
My parents don't use social media at all. They're in their 60s, savvy computer users who regularly shop and bank online, they use Skype, they have a tablet ... but they don't see any need for Facebook or Twitter or anything like that - because very few of their friends and social groups use them, they haven't got a whole lot of people to connect to.
My parents are not engaged in any social media site, I always request them to make an account in facebook . Facebook is very important to share information to each others.
I laughed aloud at the subject line. My parents are totally off the grid.
no not exactly.They only know emailing and if they want to talk to someone far away they will use skype. Thats it!
no, they even don't know how to mail.
Both my parents (in their 50s) are both on Facebook and my mum is quite active in sharing links and photos (memes, jokes, infobits, etc.). It's good that they are keeping up.
I think most of the social media users are youngsters, businessman and job working. This ratio decreases as the age increases, 45+ years old are rarely found on Facebook. My parents see TV at evening.
my parents also very far away from social media
No not at all. they even don't have their email ids ..lolz
my mom in law is a facebook fanatic, she never misses a day in checking out her facebook. she even interacts with her friend through it.
No. My parents were from before the Internet time. They paid visits and had visitors of the inner circle on a regular base. In between they had a telephone and postcards to contact family and friends, or used their legs or bikes if they lived in the neighborhood. To share photographs they made hardcopy photo albums, had several boxes with diapositive slides and a slide viewer, or invited people for an evening with a slide projector and a screen on the wall.They had a flourishing social life.
They can use email, perform web searches, browse youtube and other video streaming sites, use office applications, and greeting card creation programs. They are aware of facebook, but find it intimidating. They can sort of use skype, as long as they have (my) assistance with it.
No, they do not. They do not know what that is:)
Well the wheel of time has changed, in today scenario, there is no barrier to social media. It is a good key point that your parents get involved into social media. As compared to our young generation they do have a wide exposure to the practical market. Your parents can bridge the gaps between your thought process & implementation plan by guiding you through the utilization of social media in proper manner.
My parents are totally involved into FB. Yeah, they have some daily social media routine. that's so amazing!
My parents were in their early 70's when they first got a computer and started using email and the Internet. (My dad even signed up for an affiliate marketing program and began running PPC ads, but he wasn't very successful).
Mom was in her late 70's when she started using Facebook. (She's in her mid-80's now and the computer's become way too confusing for her.) Her most common post was "Why do my posts keep disappearing?" She'd also post comments like, "Sorry you have the flu. LOL."
When I asked what she thought LOL meant, she relied, "Why, Lots of Love, of course."
So, thankfully, my parents are no longer on social media (or running PPC campaigns).
My mother loves facebook whenever she has a free time, my father has a facebook, but doesn't know how to opperate it. he just asks us to do it for him.

Best Gift Ever
By Gold Star Grandma
from Urbana, OH
After 5 minutes of use I heard "Thank you Grandma! This is the best gift ever!" I purchased two of these to be shared by my three younger grandchildren when they are at my house twice a week. Even the 5-year-old was very quickly proficient and was soon fearlessly flying down the hill, then hitting the brake so he would 'drift'. After just one day of endless fun, I ordered a third scooter so each child would have one. We've only used them on snow, so I can't speak to the wheel attachments, but the snow skis are really wonderful. It may be difficult to keep the adults off of them. You should make some for people over 140 pounds.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My two grandchildren loved them
By Nanny Peggy
from Ridgefield Ct
Because of its versatility and being easily portable my grandchildren 12 and 8 will use it year round snow or sun. It can be brought to their weekend home in the mountains to use on the snow covered hills or on their driveway or sidewalks in town at home. It seemed to be a fun product which they were thrilled to receive.It was shipped quickly and I received all the items in good condition. The shipping charges were a bargain too.
Great idea
By Oma of twin boys
from Bella Coola, BC, Canada
I bought 2 for twin grandsons for Christmas. Our snow has all melted so we put the wheels on. The first one took a while but the second one was a snapLooking forward to more snow and putting the skis back on.
Our 11 year old grandson loved the ski's
By NannyB
from Cleveland, OH
To use the ski feature you need about 3" or more of snow because putting weight on the runners make it unusable on driveways. He loved the idea of changing into wheels in the summer. He enjoys using mechanics to work, ie. changing the sled feature to wheels.

My son loves it!
By Naturewitch
from Philadelphia, Pa
My son enjoys riding it on the street and is looking forward to snow so he can try the snow skis
I would buy this product again
By Unknown
from Ohio
Delivery was quick and assembly quite easy. The child is really enjoying it right now as a street scooter since we have no snow. But he is really looking forward to snow for this reason. It was a really different product and quite cleaver since it can now be used in both summer and winter. I need to get another one for someone else who really thought it was "cool".

Forums: Index > Help Desk archive > How did Yaxly become a secret keeper?
In the Deathly Hallows, Yaxly grabs onto Hermione while she is disapparating, and she is forced to take him with her. He sees Grimmauld place, and because she had become one of the Secret-Keepers after dumbledore died, Yaxly knew the secret. But, he shouldn't be able to bring other death eaters in, because only a secret keeper can tell the secret, and when a secret keeper tells you, you do not become another secret keeper.
- "If Yaxly could now get inside the house, there was no way they could return. Even now, he could be bringing other Death Eaters into the house by Apparition"
- —Harry's worries about going back to Grimmauld Place.[src]
So, were Harry's worries meaningless? Yaxly should not have been able to do anything about Grimmauld place, and that is only one more Death Eater that can get in besides Snape. And couldn't they put up some extra protection like Hermione and Flitwick did on the tent and Hogwarts?

Unlike typical shortwave radios, this is the model that also receives longwave broadcasts. Operating at 100-519 kHz, just below the AM band (520-1710 kHz), longwave signals are used by those interested in low-frequency experimental radio (LowFER) communications as well as ITU Region 1 broadcasters in Europe and as far away as Mongolia. The radio also operates in the shortwave band (1711 kHz - 30 MHz) with single-sideband (SSB) tuning for listening to two-way shortwave communications. In addition to FM reception (88-108 MHz), it can listen to civilian aircraft radio transmissions in the 117-137 MHz frequency band. Stores up to 100 favorite stations for each frequency band. Its built-in horizontal antenna rotates 360� for precise AM reception while its telescoping antenna pulls in FM, SW, and aircraft band signals. Requires additional longwave antenna to receive LW signal; additional external shortwave antenna can enhance SW reception. Powered by included AC adapter or requires four D batteries. 7 1/4" H x 14" W x 6 1/4" D. (7 lbs.)

My Husband ~Loved~ It!
By MsAlexHill

My husband has always been a short/long wave fanatic but in the last few years he has not had the space for a big set up. He ~loved~ this gift. He knew the brand, and says they're a really trusted brand. When I went to bed last night, he was happily tuning in the world....

Surely this is the best radio available
By Pop
from Salem, WV
I still have my old Zenith Trans-Oceanic radio, which was the best radio ever; however, that technology is now obsolete, and the FM band stopped working. Also, it weighs a TON. This radio is everything the ZTO was, and much smaller and lighter. Oh yes - it is also digital. I now have two of them; if were financially feasible, I would have a dozen!

Great Purchase
By Joe

You can expect the best from Grundig and Hammacher Schlimmer.I am a novice SWLer and been away from it for many years. A lot has changed but Grundig has stayed abreast of technology in the digital and radio fields.Easy, fast, and accurate tuning with 500 data storage lockers.Fast service. Had purchase within a week. Very satisfied.

how about trying it also on live cd/dvd?
When I boot up from the USB stick I get the main page and when I select the any of the menu items it starts goes through the screen and then hangs. I have an IBM T410s laptop.
Is there a way I can get this to work?
how about trying it also on live cd/dvd?
post hardware devices (Video card, wifi card, eth, sound), not laptop brand and model..It is a wate of time starting to look for someone's laptop specs....
Specify precisely the problem..Hangs up?..How far does it get?...Any error on screen?...Gnome and KDE version?..32 or 64 bit?...No problems during USB installation?...
Please, post sensitive info so we can help you better..
FOR ME THE SCREEN GOES BLACK JUST AFTER TYPING 'STARTX', so not possible to install BT. Could anyone help?
I tried things like:
#dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
but these should be used after installation. I tried in order to check if I'll get lucky:d
my system parameters:
1. Processor - Intel Core i5 M520 2.4GHz
3. Win7 32 bit installed and Fedora 17 on another partition. The last partition I want for BT 5r3.
4. Intel HD integrated graphics
5. intel 82577LM gigabitnetwork connection, intel centrino advanced-N 6200 AGN, Qualcomm Gobi 2000-HS usb mobile broadband device, virtual box host-only ethernet adapter (I even dont know which one of these is WiFi card)
6. Monitor ThinkPad Display 1200x800
7. bluetooth, touchpad, fingerprint etc.
8. Intel Display Audio, Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD.
I guess that's all.
Can you guys explain me why my installed system dont work. after 'startx' screen goes black. end of story...
please put it in easy step by step way, so that I could follow.
Would it be better to install older version of BT e.g. 4? is there a better support? I would say that the newest one should be better, but I read it today somewhere on forums that older have better device's support.
thanks in advance.
As to why after startx screen goes black, it should be a video issue, a driver issue..That is why goes black, or at least the major issue.
As to "please put it in easy step by step way, so that I could follow." Sorry, need to read, this is linux, sometimes you need a "work-around" solution, but read, and then post doubts. I have a laptop with intel video card and had issues after startx, but solved it, and I had to read...If after reading still nothing, then I post.
You need a basic linux background..This section "beginners section" is for newbbies on BT5, not in Linux..Read posts in the section as to how people with that hardware is trying to solve the issue.
After you've read and tried, then post your doubts, we all the community are willing to help any member who need it.
Best of luck.

The first man on the track for the Quakers, senior Michael Kiley, finished just a second shy of his personal best in the steeplechase. He placed ninth overall with a time of 9:18.56.
In the 5,000 meters, freshman Brendon Smith nearly reached Penn's all-time top 10. He was just seven seconds shy with a sixth-place time of 14:26.55. Classmate Clark Shurtleff was 10th at 14:34.83.

I had 48-47 Jones, but I have no problems with anyone scoring that fight for Gus. That fight was razor close.
Excellent fight. a million times better than I was expecting it to be.
I had 48-47 Jones, but I have no problems with anyone scoring that fight for Gus. That fight was razor close.
Excellent fight. a million times better than I was expecting it to be.
Sherdog.com - The number one MMA site on the web today!
Personally I had first three to Gus giving him the win by a round.
Although the rounds were close so either way can hardly be called a robbery.
After Glover got wobbled by Bader & this being such a great close fight I bet we get Jones/ Gus 2 before Glover gets his title shot. Not a fan of immediate rematches but who could argue against this?
First time we've seen Jones in a fight & fair play to him, I always believed he'd crumble under the pressure but he took the punches & kept on coming.
Personaly dont think there should be an immediate rematch as Glover has earned his shot with his run and who he has beat. The fight was close but not particullay controversial imo. The LW division has been bogged down with all the rematches and no one else was getting a shot. We're getting to a situation that any close title fight could end up with a rematch and log jam of contenders waiting for their shot. Would be happy for gus to get the winner of Jones vs Glover. Think Glover has a real chance as well
Jon had run through the division & looked unstoppable, until Gus put him in positions where he had to fight.
I'm not a fan of too many rematches but a great & close fight like that certainly deserves one.
There was no evidence in his last fight against Bader that tell me he competes with JJ never mind beat him, Gus should get the rematch without a doubt. I do think JJ won the fight it was just very very close. All credit to JJ as I am not a huge fan of his Gus challenged him and JJ did his stuff.
I can not wait for the rematch
Great fight, a rematch would be nice but I don't want to see the belt tied up for a while. Give Glover his shot then get Gus in again. I think the main reason Gus did so well is because his size matched up against Jones and Jones is so used to having such a massive reach advantage over his opponents. Jones will most likely breeze through Glover.....
I had round 1 and 3 for Gus, Round 2 a 10-10 round (could have easily scored it either way) and the 4th and 5th for Jones, can't complain with the scores, nor would I have had it been 48-47 for Gus, people saying Gus was robbed I think are stretching it to be fair, was razor close, Jones went forward in the first 3 rounds even if Gus did seem the busier fighter.
Anyone else notice that Jones barely threw any right hand shots - at least from round 3 onward anyway when I noticed it, think 3rd round he threw one punch with his right, maybe 2 in the 4th and same in the 5th, was convinced he was going to announce a broken hand afterward, even when he had Gus rocked in the 4th and Gus was open for some big rights against the cage, Jones chose not to throw a single one... odd..
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.

** Official ** Video Install Thread - Video DIYs
Post your video installations in this thread to help members out with their DIY installations!
I am going to populate this tonight. Forgot we had this created on the forums and want to provide the members with this service!
Just thought Id add some that Ive seen on YouTube.
Fog light removal:
[How To] e46 Install of Amp, Subs, Cap (on my 330xi)
Here is a video I just made for helping people out with installing Amplifier, Subwoofers, Capacitor on a BMW e46 body with the Harman Kardon Sound System.
Complete walkthrough of installing an Amp with two 12-inch Subs and a Capacitor on BMW e46 body. This will be the same for all e46 cars with the Harmon Kardon factory system included with many BMW 3 Series Models.
I believe the following are included in this group:
BMW 316 (316i, 316ti)
BMW 318 (318i, 318ci, 318ti)
BMW 320 (320i, 320ci)
BMW 323 (323i, 323ci)
BMW 325 (325i, 325xi, 325ci, 325ti)
BMW 328 (328i, 328ci)
BMW 330 (330i, 330xi, 330ci)
and BMW M3
I am performing the install on my own BMW 330xi, but as far as I am led to believe, it should be very similar or same on any e46 (correct me if I'm wrong).
I saw one other install video on Youtube for this, but it seemed to me that he rushed through it and didn't really get in depth. So, I wanted to go ahead and lay it out from A to Z.
1- Take out trunk mat, then Un-peg tray in interior left floor of trunk. Also remove two pegs from the above interior upholstery.
2- Setting up your remote wire:
-Locate Harman Kardon trunk amplifier in left of trunk, push button on bracket and pull wiring harness lever to remove massive wiring harness. (Ignore extra bundle of wires, no leads there)
-Slide two wiring harnesses (black and gray) out of bracket.
-Isolate gray wiring harness and find the fourth wire (of the small wires) which is white.
-Tap Splice the white wire with your amplifier remote wire (I think I used 16 guage tap splices).
-Feed remote wire out under upholstery and reassemble bracket/harness/upholstery/tray.
3- Connecting Line Output Converter:
-Locate secondary Harman Kardon hardware on roof of trunk.
-Slip wire bracket to the left in order to get it to come off.
-Locate wires that match colors with the wires running into opposing side speaker.
-Tap Splice those two wires as well as the ones running into the near speaker. (these should be spliced with the positive and negative for each side according to the colors for your output converter)
-Ground your output converter.
-Tuck and zip tie.
4- Hook up the Battery:
-Run Battery Positive (+) to your fuse (don't put fuse in until completely finished!)
-Run fuse to Cap Positive (+).
-Run Cap Positive to Amplifier Positive (+).
-Run Cap Negative to ground or Battery Negative (-).
-Run Amp Negative to ground or Battery Negative (-).
-Hook in remote wire (first wire we tackled on Harman Kardon Amp) to your amp.
-Run RCA cables from Output Converter to amp.
-Run speaker wire from amp to your sub/subs.
-Put fuse back in.
Note: My subs were dual voice-coil and I ran them in daisy chain, so I could run the amp bridged and then get my Ohms split in half.

But there's still a lot to do to move acceptance of the DVCS beyond early adopters. What else can be done to help developers in their daily version control experience?
Diffing and merging
Diff and merge tools are two version control features that developers use on a daily basis, but which haven't received a lot of attention in years. Yes, there are more and better colored interfaces today than ten years ago, but the underlying algorithms are all text based, so they can work in a language-agnostic way. Evolution seems to have skipped this field.
Today I'll be talking about some of the trends in the next generation of diff and merge tools and how they can impact a developer's day to day activities.
Refactoring is the key
Let me focus on one of the best practices widely adopted by developers, independent of their programming language or the industry they're working in: refactoring. Refactoring code applies a simple set of rules and actions to it, transforming its format without altering its behavior. There are many reasons to refactor, with improving readability one of the most important.
What does refactoring have to do with version control? If we apply it at the file level (you know, a Java class lives in a file named after the class), ) it is quite clear that proper tracking of moves and renames is key to supporting simple things like renaming a class or locating it in a different module or package. The same applies for packages and directory trees . As simple as it sounds, good support for moved and renamed files and directories has been around for only a few years (unless you were using one of the high-end commercial SCMs), and was totally out of the scope of some of the widely used open source version control systems before the DVCS era.
But today I'm thinking about operations performed inside a single file: you move a private method down in your class (following what you learned on Clean Code, for instance), you diff it with the previous version of your file, and the typical diff tool identifies two separate changes: one block added and another block removed. There's no automated way to tell it's really the same code.
The following picture shows a similar example: a method has been moved up and detected as a "delete-add" pair of changes.
What if the diff tool was able to find that it's really a single block of code has been moved?
The result would be something like the following, where the developer is informed about the "move operation":
The former implementation is based on a modified "Levenshtein distance" algorithm and, as such, is language agnostic, so it can only be considered as an initial step towards the goals I mentioned above.
Refactoring can be harder
It is not unusual for developers to move methods around (and perhaps modify them a bit, as well) in a way that even an advanced text based algorithm would have big trouble figuring out the right matches. But as tough as it sounds for a "text based" diff system, it would be trivial for a "code based" diff: a tool that actually parsed the file, locating its methods, properties, members, etc., and then used them as "units of change" It would be straightforward to figure out if heavy modifications to a file were really just a shuffling of its code units.
The idea is not new -- in fact, it's a typical question developers ask when they're trained on a new version control system with better merge support: "hey,

Florence, S.C. - Chelsi Mallory recorded her second home run of the season and Maddie Fletcher added her first collegiate home run against Francis Marion in the nightcap, but the Tornados fell to both West Alabama and Francis Marion on Sunday afternoon at the FMU Softball Field, 11-2 and 7-2.
Brevard falls to 7-9 on the season with the losses to the Tigers and the Patriots.
Game One: West Alabama 11, Brevard 2
Box Score
Taylor Miller drove in four runs and Morgan Morrison and Rebecca Schick also drove in multiple base runners as West Alabama topped Brevard on the neutral field in recording the 11-2 victory.
The Tigers scored seven runs in the first two innings to take control of the contest early, with Morrison providing most of the damage with a bases-clearing double to left field, scoring Tamara Vickers, Schick and Shoup to put West Alabama up 7-0 after two innings.
The Tigers added another run in the top of the fourth as Miller drove in Scarlett Wright with a two-out single up the middle. Brevard answered in the bottom half off the inning as Mallory led off the frame for the Tornados with her second home run of the 2012 season, this one a solo shot over the left field fence to put Brevard on the scoreboard.
Miller drove in three more runs in the top of the sixth for the Tigers, clearing the bases with a double down the left field line, and Brevard plated a run in their final at-bat as Brittany Tucker brought in Brittany Fowler with a single to left field. However, the Tigers retired the final BC batter with the bases loaded, ending the inning in recording the win.
Game Two: Francis Marion 7, Brevard 2
Box Score
Fletcher drove out her first collegiate home run as the senior third baseman worked a full count before driving a two-out shot over the left field fence to give Brevard the early lead, but the Patriots battled back, scoring three runs in both the third and the fifth innings in defeating the Tornados 7-2.
Francis Marion scored first in the contest, crossing the plate in the bottom of the first inning as Tristan Faile brought home Destinea Schneider with a one-out single, giving the Patriots the early lead.
Kayla Clemens led the Tornados in the top of the second driving a double down the left field line to spark the Brevard offense in the frame. A passed ball advanced her to third, but the Patriots retired the next two batters. Fletcher followed, working a full count off Kayla Ellingesen before driving a pitch over the left field fence to put the Tornados up 2-1.
Francis Marion scored six unanswered runs to close out the game, taking the lead on Jazz Holliday's two RBI double in the bottom of the third and Krissy Longstreet added a run scoring triple in the bottom of the fifth inning to pull away as the Patriots topped the Tornados in the final game of the weekend.
Brevard remains on the road as they travel to Laurinburg, N.C. to take on St. Andrews on Monday, March 5th. First pitch between the Tornados and the Knights is set for 2 p.m.

SAN BERNARDINO - Amazon delivered on Wednesday - to Anderson School.
The 50 new Kindles Amazon gave to students at Anderson were proof of that.
No going online to buy; just free stuff from Amazon with hopes of fostering the use of technology among the school's special needs students, officials said.
The donation was also a way for the giant online retailer to thank the San Bernardino community for its warm welcome in the community, according to San Bernardino Unified School District officials.
In October, Amazon opened a massive distribution hub in San Bernardino called a Fulfillment Center, which officials said brought hundreds of full-time jobs to the city.
City officials touted the opening as a step toward bringing the city's economic base back to life.
On Wednesday, Amazon was feeling the giving giving spirit.
"We're so happy to be a part of the San Bernardino community and to give back today by providing 50 Kindles and $2,500 in content gift cards to the Anderson School," said Eric Lewis, general manager at Amazon's San Bernardino fulfillment center in a district news release. "The Anderson school is providing an invaluable resource to the community, and we hope these Kindles will ignite a love of reading in the classroom."
Anderson School serves students ages 12 to 22 who have physical, emotional and intellectual disabilities.
Anderson's mission is to help students live independent lives and reach their full potential at school and in their communities.
"Our students are so excited about the Kindles. So am I," teacher Julie Chesney said. "Thanks to those gift cards, they'll also get to use a wide range of apps designed for people with different learning needs."
Amazon specifically selected Kindles with e-ink and text-to-voice functions meet the special needs of Anderson students, the district said.

Fla. bartender avoids SUV crashing into restaurant
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 8:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 8:49 a.m.
SUNRISE, Fla. — Call it a lucky day for 29-year-old bartender Edwin Perez.
Perez was prepping the bar at Havana's Cuban Cuisine in Sunrise just before noon Wednesday when a red sports utility vehicle crashed through the front window. He saw the vehicle just in time and managed to jump out of the way.
Miami television station WSVN reports the driver was a woman in her 70s. It wasn't clear why she lost control and she wasn't injured in the crash.
Perez says the manager yelled for him to be careful and he saw the SUV and "jumped over the counter."
He has cuts on his legs that resulted in a few stitches.
Restaurant owner Michael Mellion says he's thankful Perez is so athletic.
Mellion says he plans to reopen on Thursday.

For nearly two hours we followed, Akeley tracking with remarkable precision.
Akeley looked at it and exclaimed, "By George, I believe he's got them!"
Akeley had got a splendid photograph of the charging cow and now he took one of the smaller beast before we approached the cow.
Please return it to me as I have sent the original to the President and asked him to get Mr. Akeley's opinion.
The head slowly and almost imperceptibly turned, and Akeley signaled me to shoot.
Mr. Akeley, a man famed in African hunting exploits, was to deliver a talk before a little club to which I belonged.
There were four white people in our expedition—Mr. and Mrs. Akeley, Mr. Stephenson, and myself.
Mr. Akeley had an elaborate moving picture machine and we planned to get some excellent pictures of charging animals.
Mrs. Akeley went out only once, had a night of thrilling experiences, and killed a large male lion.
So Akeley alone went down and assured the father and mother that we were friendly and that nothing would harm them.

University studies show that an active adult should get their body weight in protein grams, so the average male weighing 185 pounds should be getting 185 grams or more of protein a day... think about it, it's nearly impossible to get that much protein from the foods we eat on a daily basis due to our hectic lifestyles. However, now that you use Sublime Whey, you can add 2-3 Sublime Protein Shakes a day and get a quick, easy and VERY tasty extra 60+ grams of ultra-high quality whey protein to your diet. Did you know that Sublime Whey is produced from grass fed, healthy New Zealand cows (no hormones) sourced from local dairy farms; this means you're safe from exposure to rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone). Many nutrition and weight loss dairy powders on the market are made from ingredients originally produced overseas. In other countries laws allow cows to be injected with rBGH. rBGH stimulates greater production of milk and causes suffering for millions of cows by making them sick. It's not a legal requirement for hormone tainted protein powders to identify this - nice to know your Sublime Whey is 100% pure, safe and certified hormone free! Since Sublime Whey is Gluten, Casein and Aspartame free as well as certified hormone free. It's perfect for busy parents looking for a tasty, quick and easy snack for their children before rushing out the door or add some frozen fruit and make a healthy smoothie for a fraction of the cost you'd pay at a retail store.

Upon finding a quality, USA based protein supplier and rigorously testing and re-testing they perfected a perfect blend of Ultra-Pure Whey protein concentrate and Micro-Filtered Whey Protein isolate to form something sublime! NRG-X Labs then turned to the next important issue, taste. Let's face it, you can have the best protein blend on the market but it if tastes like, well a normal protein shake most of us aren't going to be drinking it, so what's the point? NRG-X Labs introduces their Talon 3.0 flavoring system; this is a blend of science, art and manufacturing process that yields the best tasting (no protein after taste), thick and creamy, rich milkshake-like taste all in an instant dissolving micro-powder!
