Olga Kurylenko
Leonardo DiCaprio's revenge thriller 'The Revenant' was the big winner at the 2016 British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards on Sunday (February 14).
The drama looks set for Oscars glory following a stellar night at the British awards show, where it scored five prizes for Best Movie, Best Leading Actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, Best Director for Alejandro G. Inarritu, Best Cinematography and Best Sound.
Stepping out for an exciting evening, James Franco and Jena Malone showed up at the Opening Night Premiere of "Nobody Wants the Night" at the 65th Berlin Film Festival on Wednesday (February 4).
The "Palo Alto" hunk and the "Inherent Vice" starlet were joined by fellow famous folks like Christoph Waltz, Olga Kurylenko and Toni Garrn in the arrivals area outside the Berlinale Palace ahead of the screening.
Showing some love to their Spanish fans, the cast of "A Perfect Day" attended a press photocall in Madrid on Friday morning (March 14).
"The Usual Suspects" stud Benicio Del Toro was joined by Olga Kurylenko, Tim Robbins and Melanie Thierry as he posed for pictures and chatted with the press ahead of the big premiere.
Adding some stylish spice to the recipe, Olga Kurylenko made a special appearance at the 86th Academy Awards on Sunday evening (March 2).
All gussied up in formal finery, the "Oblivion" beauty posed with "Twilight" hunk Kellan Lutz outside Hollywood's Dolby Theatre ahead of the entertainment industry's biggest event.
It is one of the most glamorous events of the year, so it's no wonder that stars of all kinds showed up for the ELLE Style Awards earlier today (February 18) in London.
Among those gracing the arrivals carpet were Lily Allen, who looked gorgeous in black, and Suki Waterhouse, who showed off her smart style in a brown blazer.
It's an exciting time in London given all the London Fashion Week festivities, but last night (February 16) the The EE British Academy Film Awards Dinner was the main attraction.
Following the ceremony, stars like Cate Blanchett, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson all showed up at the Grosvenor House Hotel for the official dinner party.
Joining the ranks of top-name entertainers for an unforgettable evening, Naomie Harris arrived at the 2014 EE British Academy Film Awards in London, England tonight (February 16).
Shutterbugs and fans alike clamored for a closer look as the "Skyfall" star worked the red carpet outside the Royal Opera House. In addition, "Romeo and Juliet" hunk Douglas Booth and the stunning Olga Kurylenko struck a pose before heading inside.
Bringing her curves to a special red carpet event, Olga Kurylenko attended the Sidaction Gala dinner in Paris, France on Wednesday (January 23).
Drawing looks from all her fans, the "Magic City" muse sported a sexy little pink dress with matching designer heels, showing off her seductive smile as the cameras flashed.
She's always been a snappy dresser, so it's no wonder Olga Kurylenko was so interested in what Elie Saab has been up to as of late.
The 34-year-old actress showed up at Saab's Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2014 presentation on Wednesday (January 22) and scored a front-row seat where she closely monitored each model that strolled past.
It's always one of the most popular runway shows of the week, and Chanel drew big names like Tilda Swinton and Olga Kurylenko to their presentation in Paris today (January 21).
"Quantum of Solace" starlet Kurylenko looked gorgeous as she chatted with Elena Perminova as part of the Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/ Summer 2014 festivities.

Facial nerve problems and Bell's palsy facts
- Facial nerve disorders affect the muscles of the face.
- There are many causes of facial nerve disorders.
- A number of tests can be helpful to diagnose the cause of a facial nerve disorder.
- The treatment of a facial nerve disorder depends on the cause and severity.
What is the facial nerve?
The facial nerve is a nerve that controls the muscles on the side of the face. It allows us to show expression, smile, cry, and wink. Injury to the facial nerve can cause a socially and psychologically devastating physical defect; although most cases resolve spontaneously, treatment may ultimately require extensive rehabilitation or multiple procedures.
The facial nerve is the seventh of the twelve cranial nerves. Everyone has two facial nerves, one for each side of the face. The facial nerve travels with the hearing nerve (the eighth cranial nerve) as it travels in and around the structures of the middle ear. It exits the front of the ear at the stylomastoid foramen (a hole in the skull base), where it then travels through the parotid gland. In the parotid gland it divides into many branches that provide motor function for the various muscles and glands of the head and neck.
What are symptoms of a facial nerve problem?
Facial nerve problems may result in facial muscle paralysis, weakness, or twitching of the face. Dryness of the eye or the mouth, alteration of taste on the affected side, or even excessive tearing or salivation can be seen as well. However, the finding of one of these symptoms does not necessarily imply a specific facial nerve problem; the physician needs to make a careful investigation in order to make a precise diagnosis. Symptoms of a facial nerve problem can vary in severity depending upon the extent of the injury to the nerve. Symptoms may range from mild twitching to full paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face.
What conditions affect the facial nerve?
There are numerous causes of facial nerve disorder:
- Trauma such as birth trauma, skull base fractures, facial injuries, middle ear injuries, or surgical trauma
- Nervous system disease including stroke involving the brain stem
- Infection of the ear or face, or herpes zoster of the facial nerve (Ramsay Hunt syndrome)
- Tumors including acoustic neuroma, schwannoma, cholesteatoma, parotid tumors, and glomus tumors
- Toxins due to alcoholism or carbon monoxide poisoning
- Bell's palsy, which is also called idiopathic facial nerve paralysis (see below); this condition is sometimes associated with diabetes mellitus or pregnancy

text: So I had an amazing day today surfing. I was hoping to maybe keep the stoke going threw tommorow. Judging by the size of my break today (3-5ft.) I would say it could go either way. Most of the time a large swell is a medium swell the next day and a medium swell (like today) turns into a small on the next. But on the other hand, the offshore winds haven't stopped blowing all day and are expected to go overnight. Do you figure this might be a swell killer?? :(

Poor refereeing and poor judging. Two of the judges had Groves winning by only 1 round. Could of gone on longer, ref could of gave a standing 8 to Groves.
I wonder how that ref feels today. Gutted
i thought it was early too. but some guy ringside apparently said Groves' eyes were totally gone, tricky
Robert Smith, British Boxing Board secretary, insisted that Foster's decision to stop the fight was vindicated.
"Howard Foster had to make the decision in a split second, he made his call, and I back him," Smith said yesterday. "He does not have the benefit of several replays on television or a monitor. He was six inches away from the fighters, he is looking at the fighter's eyes, and he has the health, safety and interest of the fighter at heart.
"Howard Foster is a world-class professional. Another punch could have made a massive difference to George's career."'don't forget me, don't forget what i said!' - alright dude, well doneI had always said that Groves may well be ahead in this fight but may be stopped towards the later rounds.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/oth...arl-Froch.htmlOn the rematch, Froch said: "I said to Eddie if the re-match makes sense, why not. But I don't need to have my hand forced. I'm here today, 34 fights, 32 wins, I've just defended against a young, hungry fighter."
i hope they do have a rematch. who cares for seeing Andre Ward pick Froch apart? not me. sod that.
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Rematch with Groves then fight Ward and call it a day unless of course he wins.
Retired 2k and out.
Groves will beat him in a rematch but it won't happen, Froch is already advising that he won't be forced in to it! . I thought Carl may give ward a decent fight if it was in front of a home crowd (which ward wont do in all fairness). After seeing the fight Saturday, the fight could be held in Frochs mums front room and he'll still be chasing shadows for 12 rounds
"I don't think that I need to fight George Groves again to prove anything," said Froch.
"He was an unbeaten, young, hungry fighter, but he had his chance and, unfortunately, he blew it.
"George Groves was on my hit-list and guess what? On my record, it says Froch v Groves Froch TKO round 9

O.k. I have been at this for hours. I have scoured google, youtube, and these forums. I have found the issue all over but I have not found a definitive solution.
I have successfully booted from BT3 and BT4 live cd's on a laptop and a desktop. I have successfully booted from BT3 and BT4 usb sticks. I have connectivity with eth0 interface every time with no problems.
I have determined my wireless driver for both nodes: ath9k (laptop) ath5k(desktop).It is my understanding that both of these drivers are completely compatible out of the box. In all appearance they seem to work. The essid is resolved, the AP mac is resolved. All available networks are visible. If I manually configure the interface with the connection mngr. it states that the interface is up and working but there is no connectivty.
I am not going to detail every method I attempted, if it is listed in the forum I tried it. One item I believe may be a clue is "AP: not associated". I will update with better details if I get any hits with this. I am a newb(hence the name)and I don't know how to remedy it.
I have Ubuntu on VMware and Linux Mint dual booted with windoz. I have no problem with with wireless drivers on either instillation.
I love this distro and I really want to stretch her legs. Any comments are greatly appreciated. If I missed something please just kick me in the right direction.

Snohomish County plans to resurface 88 miles of roadway during the 2013 construction season, with chip-sealing set to begin next week.
This year the county will chip-seal about 85 miles while paving another three miles of road with asphalt.
The county evaluates its entire road network every year to develop a multi-year plan for preserving and maintaining county roads in the most cost-effective way possible.
Chip-sealing is scheduled to begin Monday in some south county neighborhoods. The road maintenance paving crew will work from east to west in July. In August, they will work their way north and northwest. Though work progress and schedule are weather dependent, all chip-seal work should be complete by mid-September.
County road crews will use approximately 8,200 tons of asphalt to patch potholes and improve rough or failing pavement as well as to complete the chip-seal work. Chip-sealing extends the life of the road surface for an additional seven to 10 years.
The chip-seal process involves applying a layer of sticky asphalt oil to the road, then a layer of crushed rock and chips and pressing the chips in place with a roller.
The road is immediately usable, and during the following week, most remaining crushed rock is pressed into the asphalt by vehicles driving on the road.
A temporary 20-mph speed limit will be enforced during that time. Crews will return within a week to sweep up loose rock and replace pavement striping.
Repaving work is underway and being done by Cemex.
Here's the breakdown of miles by community:
Arlington: 9 locations, 4.9 miles
Granite Falls: 28 locations, 14.7 miles
Lake Stevens: 1 location, 3 miles
Maltby: 5 locations, 3.5 miles
Marysville: 2 locations, 1.3 miles
Mill Creek: 3 locations, .3 miles
Monroe: 10 locations, 7.5 miles
Snohomish: 4 locations, 6.6 miles
South Snohomish County: 57 locations, 18.3 miles
Stanwood: 9 locations, 6.1 miles
Sultan, Gold Bar and Index: 15 locations, 16.6 miles
Tulalip, Warm Beach: 12 locations, 5.2 miles

Effective October 1, 2009, Public Law 110-351 provides Indian Tribes with the option to operate a foster care, adoption assistance and, at tribal option, a kinship guardianship assistance program under title IVE of the Social Security Act (the Act). The Federal government would share in the costs of Tribes operating an ACFapproved title IVE program. Public Law 110351 requires that ACF develop interim final rules after consulting with Tribes and affected States on the implementation of the tribal plan requirements in section 479B of the Act and other amendments made by the Tribal provisions in section 301 of Public Law 110351. The law requires that such regulations include: (1) Procedures to ensure that a transfer of State or Tribal responsibility for the placement and care of a child under a State title IVE plan to a Tribal title IVE plan occurs in a manner that does not affect the child's eligibility for title IVE or title XIX Medicaid and such services or payments; and, (2) the inkind expenditures from third party sources permitted for the Tribal share of administration and training expenditures under title IVE.

A fresh infusion of tax revenue made Gov. Jerry Brown's May Revision of his fiscal 2013-14 budget proposal more optimistic than those of recent years. The proposal covers the final weeks of the 2012-13 fiscal year and all of fiscal year 2013-14, which begins July 1.
The major infusion is $7 billion from the Proposition 30 tax increase voters passed in November. A secondary, one-time infusion of money came from wealthy taxpayers cashing out investments in late 2012 to avoid a Jan. 1 increase in the federal tax on capital gains.
"For the first time in more than a decade, we have a balanced budget, and it's solid," the governor told a Sacramento news conference. "We have money to invest in education because of Prop. 30. … Most of that money is going to schools that need it very much."
According to the budget numbers, an additional $1,046 on average will go to each K-12 student in 2013-14 than two years earlier. In a conference call with reporters, the governor talked of his new Local Funding Formula to shift more money to K-12 students who live in impoverished areas or who are English learners. "It takes reality into account," he said. "If you live in Compton, your life experience is different from life in Beverly Hills."
Schools receiving the extra money would have more flexibility than under the current Education Code. But we believe real reform involves not sending more money to underperforming schools, but more strongly implementing solution such as charter schools and the state's "parent trigger" law, by which a school's administration can be replaced by a majority vote of its parents.
Overall, the budget expects 2012-13 to close out with total general-fund expenditures of $95.7 billion. Anticipating that the one-time revenue injection will be gone, 2013-14 spending is forecast at $96.4 billion, an increase over the previous year of less than $1 billion.
Commendably, in his budget speech and in the budget itself, the governor repeatedly warned that prudence dictates not spending more. "Everybody wants to see more spending," Mr. Brown said. "That's what this place is – it's a spending machine. … Well, but I'm the backstop at the end, and I'm going to keep this budget balanced as long as I'm around here."
His promise doesn't allay all our fears. "Overall, clearly, the revenue situation is better than in the previous budget proposed in January – almost $3 billion more, and they're spending all of it," Esmael Adibi told us; he's the director of the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research at Chapman University and is on the advisory council for state Controller John Chiang.
Mr. Adibi said the initial January plan left a surplus of $785 million when the budget year ends June 30. The May update barely increases that, to $850 million. This is the "rainy day fund" the governor has been promising. For 2013-14, the fund is projected to double, to $1.7 billion, "which still is not significant because, usually, they tap into it at the end of the budget cycle," he warned.
And although the governor credited Prop. 30 with the revenue surge, we're worried that the higher income tax rates could, in the long run, encourage the flight of investors and job creators, resulting in lower revenue than anticipated.
With Republicans virtually irrelevant on budget issues, the key now is for the governor to fulfill his promise to be the "backstop" against new spending proposals as the June 15 deadline for passing a budget approaches.

Report: Justin Bieber sells Calabasas home to Khloe Kardashian
Listen to Justin Bieber on iHeartRadio
Justin Bieber is reportedly on his way out of Calabasas.
After a year of highly publicized run-ins with neighbors in his gated community, the pop star is rumored to have sold his mansion.
Sources tell "Us Weekly" that the buyer is none other than reality star Khloe Kardashian. Apparently Justin quietly put the home on the market looking to escape the paparazzi in the area. He had lived there since 2012. The mansion was recently raided by police in connection to an ongoing vandalism incident.
Bieber spent his Thursday in Miami giving a deposition for a civil lawsuit filed against him by photographer Jeffrey Binion. The photographer claims Justin ordered his security guard to assault him outside a recording studio last June.

Apparently Porsha Wlliams of RH-ATL will do whatever it takes to stay wealthy. This is the kind of person I really dislike. I have the same feelings of animosity towards celebrities who perform or appear for money strictly for the money without any consideration for who they are performing. According to TMZ Porsha is dating some guy who is the son of one of the most brutal dictators in Africa. Death and destruction surround this guy but Porsha doesn't care because he gives her jewels and gifts and even bought her a Bentley even though they have only been dating a few months. To show just how superficial Porsha is, she posts photos of all the gifts she receives. So, she is basically telling the world, "Look at me. I got new shiny things and all I have to do is f**k a dictator's son." The same son who has been accused by US officials of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the coffers of the country and having people killed or jailed who complain about it.
Even though Porsha is having sex with the guy for what amounts to money and gifts, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez will play for anyone as long as the fee is big enough. They don't care where the money came from or who had to die as long as the check clears. There is not a whole lot of difference except that I have never heard of Mariah having sex with a dictator for money, just performing.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has put great effort to realize Mediterranean Unity Summit, set the aim of the summit as "learning how to love each other". Leaders of different nations who participated in the summit made speeches regarding their demand for peace.
Israel Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said "I hope indirect relations established with Syria through Turkish mediation will lead to direct relations within the shortest possible time", implying tense relations with Syria. The other day, Esad also wished the same to whom Sarkozy introduced Lebanon Prime Minister Michel Suleiman.
For Mediterranean Unity, Sarkozy draws a frame, which lies from glaciers of Greenland to Jordan deserts, from Balkans to North Africa, covering 756 million people. Among the basic targets of the Union is to end enmity between Israel and Arab countries, clean up of Mediterranean, improvement of solar energy.
Political steps taken for peace can achieve success to only certain extend. State can protect public places, streets and central regions by means of its security units only partially and can take precautions to decrease crime rates by means of a strong justice system. For ultimate solution, the main thing here is to encourage people to love each other.

Is a Debt Relief Service For You?
More than ever, people are feeling money-crunched. The holiday season brings additional challenges and stress, and the new year traditionally is a time to re-examine one's financial situation and debts. Many people are, for the first time, facing difficulties in critical areas such as managing loan payments and dealing with home foreclosures and bankruptcy. A growing number of people are seeking professional help in navigating the management of their credit and debt. The decision to enter into a debt relief program can be a stressful one in itself. How do you decide if a debt relief program is the right solution for you? How do you decide where to go?
If you have been gathering advice and sifting through personal finance educational material, you know there are more points of view and theories on growing your savings, money-saving and managing credit and debt than one can count. You hear everything from… the ultra-frugal approach to take care of the pennies and the dollars will follow, cut back on everything, bypass that morning cup of coffee purchase, sweat over every penny at every turn, be vigilant with clipping coupons and bargain hunting, and whenever possible do-it-yourself…. to… those who say forget the pennies; save on the big-ticket items like interest rates and insurance premiums… to.. focus on growing your income… to… recognize your motivations and plan your budget to include goal-related items that you consider to be fulfilling and enjoyable and saving will be practically effortless. How do you know which approach is right?
In addition to the multiple personal finance approaches, there is an onslaught of questions to navigate through, like… which credit cards should I pay off first? Should I act on a zero-interest credit card offer? Should I consolidate my debt? Close credit accounts? Re-finance my loan? How do I effectively negotiate with my debtors and get my credit rating back in good standing? What are the differences between the various debt relief options? What are the right answers?
The truth is, what will work for you is relative to your particular situation and your abilities at any given time. So, how do you know which answer is best for you, now?
The internet, television, radio, magazines and newspapers are full of resources that provide answers; advice is everywhere – including here. SpendLessTV.com has an inventory full of helpful videos with pointers from experts that address dozens of personal finance and budgeting questions. You may be able to tackle debt management and negotiation yourself. Many people have been able to achieve this. But, perhaps you have been utilizing the many available resources in an effort to self-manage your debt, and still you feel unsettled. How do you decide if the time is right to enroll in a debt relief program?
If you answer "yes" to the following questions, a debt relief program may be for you:
- Is all the information you've gathered starting to seem contradictory?
- Do you feel the need for more clarity and direction?
- Even after trying, are you still living paycheck to paycheck?
- Have your savings dwindled?
- Are you feeling overwhelmed?
- Do you feel an urgent need for immediate assistance?
Should you determine that the time is right to consider a program, how do you choose where to go and who to listen to?
Here is important information from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that you can use to help you evaluate and choose a debt relief counseling service:
- Check with the Better Business Bureau to see if the organization you are considering is positively rated or if there is a history of complaint against it.
- Are they willing to provide informative insights and educational material up front, at no charge?
- Are they willing to answer questions and discuss your personal situation with you, disclose what they might or might not be able to do for you, before you enroll?
- Are they available in person or by phone, as well as online?
- What services do they offer? Do they offer ongoing support?
- What are the qualifications of their counselors? Are they accredited or certified? By whom? If not, how were they trained?
- What are their fees?
- How are their employees compensated? Are they paid more if you sign up? If so, consider this a red flag and look elsewhere.
- How can you be assured your private information will be kept confidential and secure?
- Read everything, and ask questions before signing anything or enrolling… even online.
- More tips on selecting a credit or debt relief service at Federal Trade Commission.
There are many qualified and reputable debt relief agencies out there. While we cannot provide input on every one, we would like to draw your attention to one group we feel clearly meets this FTC criteria and more, CareOne Debt Relief.

Last year he was provisor and vicar-general, and deserves that your Majesty should honor him with a place in the cathedral.
They looked like a gorgeous escort attending the vicar-general.
He is also at present exercising the office of vicar-general of this archbishopric, and has been its visitor-general.
Various nuns were reprimanded or punished in 1527 by the vicar-general.
The vicar-general of Goa, Ambrosia Ribera, would himself examine, if the inwards were corresponding to the outward appearances.
One of them is interrupted by a vicar-general, and he says: Hold your tongue, monsieur.
The vicar-general knew that he had been wrong, and that his wrong had come into Eternity.
The vicar-general's lifted hand stilled the shout that rose.
In 1304 he became provincial of his order for Saxony, and in 1307 was vicar-general for Bohemia.
"Why, you can see his windows from hence," replied the vicar-general.

Post subject: Positional Grades
QB: C+ Stafford isn't costing us games but he isn't winning them either. Hopefully he gets a little bit more aggressive, primarily in getting the ball to CJ. Needs to get the ball in the endzone.
RB: B I think we have a good one in Leshoure but as Schwartz said in the presser, we need more big plays. Leshoure certainly has the burst/power mix that our other backs don't possess. I think we will see continual improvement in him throughout the year.
WR: C CJ has had a couple decent games but has definetly underwhelmed thus far and I'm sure he would be the first to admit it. Burleson has been decent and made a few catches. Titus has been terribly disappointing, borderline invisible. Broyles hasn't seen the field much. Way to many dropped passes.
TE: D Much like the rest of the offense its been pretty poor. Pettigrew has way to many drops. He needs to get his head right during the bye.
OL: C Backus has been what we expect. Haven't really noticed Sims, which is usually a good thing with lineman. Dom and Peterman have been bad and one, if not both, will probably be replaced after this year. I really think Gosder is adequate. He is replaceable but not what I would consider a priority by any means. Reiff to RG? Reiff to LT Backus to RG?
DL: C Our ends have been mostly underwhelming. Vanden Bosch doesn't have a whole lot left. Avril has proved Mayhew right so far. Interior has been blah, definitely not meeting expectations.
LB: B Honestly, one of the only bright spots in my opinion. I've been on Levy's back for awhile but he is proving me wrong so far this year. Durant has made a few nice plays. Tulloch just goes about getting his tackles.
CB: D Houston is solid. Bentley is going through rookie pains. Hes had some PI but looks like he has potential. Everyone else is hurt or pretty much just stinks. Xavier Rhodes
S: F Honestly, we might have had the worst safety play in the league through the first 4 weeks. Terrible tackling, terrible coverage skills, always out of position. We need Delmas back and have to find a good safety in either the draft or free agency. Eric Reid
Special Teams: F- Needs no explanation.
Its been a weird season thus far. We should be 3-1 if we play anything resembling good football but at the same time we came dang close to going 0-4 to start the year. Hopefully they come out ticked off against Philly after the bye.

Bright side is that the safety class in 2013 is pretty deep. I'm hoping for 1 (if not 2) of the following: Eric Reid, Kenny Vaccaro, TJ McDonald, Baccari Rambo, Robert Lester, Matt Elam, or Tony Jefferson.

His few mistakes that game directly translated to points for the other team, including a INT-TD. I'm glad he did it, but throwing for 7, and giving away 7, is the definition of "isn't costing us games but isn't winning them either".

for me. Stafford's efficiency numbers aren't looking too hot, but his completion percentage is looking good and it's tough to say he hasn't suffered from receivers dropping a few critical passes. But we're not just grading Stafford here. Shaun Hill looked very good when he had to come in at the end of the Titans game, and I'd say 7 TDs and 4 INTs from our QBs through four weeks is acceptable. We lead the league in passing yardage, but again that's largely because we lead the league in passing attempts.
. Kevin Smith had a good week one before a rough week 2 against an elite defense, then disappearing entirely once Leshoure came back. Mikel has looked good. I'm going to excuse his poor performance against the Vikings as he was getting hit in the backfield with regularity, which falls on the o-line. Joique Bell has been a pleasant surprise. He's no bell cow, but he looks good in the role that used to be played by Maurice Morris. Keiland Williams has been a nonfactor.
. Our pass protection was good against the Rams, 49ers, and Titans. We surrendered five sacks to the Vikings, but 2-3 of them were coverage sacks in my estimation. I think our pass blocking has been better than average as a whole. That said, the run blocking has left a lot to be desired. Our backs are getting hit in the backfield too much or having to bounce outside because the defense flat-out collapses the run lanes.
. Pettigrew has his drops, sure, and that strip-fumble was embarrassing no matter how surprising Verner's blindside strip attempt was. He is still on pace for over 90 catches and nearly 900 yards, which would be a career year for him, and I expect his drops will probably even out over the course of the year. Even Tony Scheffler has had one or two drops. I think overall this is one of our better positions, but we're off to a rough start here. That said, our TEs are still on pace for 132 catches and over 1,200 yards. That's pretty impressive.
. I think we've been very disappointing here considering our WR corps should be amongst the best in the NFL. Calvin Johnson is nearly leading the league in receiving yardage again, but one TD through four games (essentially a garbage time TD, before a very lucky hail Mary made it relevant) is very disappointing for a guy that had 8 TDs through 4 games last year. His trademark big plays have been notoriously absent, either because Stafford can't get him an accurate deep ball or because defenses are effectively taking it away from him. Burleson I think is the only WR that's really meeting/surpassing expectations. He's yet to have a big game, but he has been very consistent. Titus Young has been massively disappointing given many of us were expecting a breakout year from him. Other than his miracle hail Mary catch, Young has 8 catches for 71 yards through four games. Unacceptable. Ryan Broyles can't even get on the field, although that was largely to be expected.
. Moving the ball hasn't been a problem whatsoever; the Lions currently possess the NFL's 6th overall offense in terms of yards per game. But we still can't run the ball effectively, and in particular we've struggled to score TDs. The Lions still have the NFL's 14th-best scoring offense, but it's difficult for me to grade them above-average because of their repeated miscues.
. I think our tackles are playing well. The ends have been disappointing, but I'm not ready to purge them all like some on this forum has. Suh is very quietly on pace for 10 sacks again and he has made plays in the running game, although several of his plays have been made in situations where the offense is then able to make up for them. Corey Williams missing games is going to hurt this unit. He's quietly a very good player. Fairley really needs to get moving; aside from a sack on opening day, he's been invisible.
. Levy has missed a couple of tackles, but he's also make a couple of really nice plays. Tulloch is having a really nice looking season so far, and he's showing that his improved coverage last season was no fluke (he has 3 pass defenses already). Durant is the same as ever--very solid in the run game, good two-down LB. The backups worry me tremendously. If we have to start a fourth linebacker, I think we've got a serious problem.
. The unit has suffered three injuries that have hampered them, but even still, this isn't an NFL-caliber secondary. Chris Houston is about the only trustworthy CB we have, and he's still just an average-to-mediocre #1. Bill Bentley has looked terrible as far as I'm concerned. Drayton Florence would be decent depth, but he's on IR. Jacob Lacey has missed a lot of tackles for a guy that was advertised as a solid tackling corner, and Jonté Green is probably the 53rd man on the roster right now (which is quite an indictment). This corps is a joke.
. Coleman is okay, but still definitively average. Wendling has been terrible, and the team is now down to starting Ricardo Silva at one safety spot. Though we haven't seen much of him, there's a good reason he failed to make the 53-man roster out of training camp. It makes me wonder what ever happened to Spievey--but then again, I remember he's not very good either, and has been relegated mostly to special teams for good reason. We need Delmas back in a bad way.
. Giving up almost 400 yards to Jake Locker is inexcusable. The defense played decently well against St. Louis, but since then they've been pummeled by the likes of Alex Smith and Jake Locker, while allowing Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson to grind yardage against us with ease. There are some bright spots, but they're few and far between. Even if the front seven can play up to its potential, it might not matter as long as our secondary remains the NFL's worst.
Hanson has been good on field goals (although he's been called-on too many times for anyone's liking). His kickoffs haven't been very good. We need him to just boot it out of the end zone every time and it doesn't seem he's got the leg to do it anymore.
Ben Graham wasn't kicking very well for two weeks, and Nick Harris doesn't seem like a better prospect. I know most of the blame for our ST TDs has to fall on our coverage units, but our hang time and placement leaves a lot to be desired.
Coverage units:
. Seriously, we're going to give up 10+ return TDs this year if they don't fix it. It's embarrassing. Detroit's special teams have been a joke since Chuck Priefer called it quits.
. Logan is such a lightning rod for criticism . . . I don't really get it. He has a nice 40 yard KR under his belt and is averaging 11 yards per punt return this year. The fact that he takes a knee often isn't really a problem; it's because other teams kick it to the back of the end zone where taking a knee is the correct play unless you're in super desperation mode (which the Lions haven't really been in all year, despite their record).
Special Teams:
. Hanson is great, and that's the only reason this unit doesn't get an F. The ability to score from 50 yards out with regularity is a big deal when the offense has been as sluggish as it has so far this year. That said, the punt team and kickoff coverage units have had a very direct hand in our last two losses and they are, by far, the biggest issue with this team right now.
The Detroit Lions:
. Seriously this team is capable of beating anyone in the league if they play up to snuff, but they are playing like garbage right now and that needs to change.
If what they say about breaking the season up into quarters is legit, we need to make a quantum leap for the next quarter, not just a marginal improvement. Unfortunately, our schedule gets tough right now--our next three opponents are @ Philadelphia, @ Chicago, and at home against a suddenly dangerous Seattle team. I hate to say it, but coming out of that stretch 1-6 or 2-5 looks a lot more likely to me than coming out 3-4 or 4-3. This team has too much catching up to do and have already lost two of the easier games on their schedule. I think we'll be finishing 5-11 or 6-10.

for me. Stafford's efficiency numbers aren't looking too hot, but his completion percentage is looking good and it's tough to say he hasn't suffered from receivers dropping a few critical passes. But we're not just grading Stafford here. Shaun Hill looked very good when he had to come in at the end of the Titans game, and I'd say 7 TDs and 4 INTs from our QBs through four weeks is acceptable. We lead the league in passing yardage, but again that's largely because we lead the league in passing attempts.
Stafford has three TD passes and Hill has two so your total is off.
Hill's numbers have really boosted the teams passing numbers. His relief performance against the Titans was impressive. 10/13, 172 yards, 76.9%, 2 TD 0 int's. 13.3 yard average and a 157.9 QB rating.
I agree with your comments about passing yardage. They throw the ball so much it would be terrible if they weren't leading. When you see they're 16th in yards per attempt it brings those numbers back to earth. They're also tied for 16th in passing TD's and 16th in QB rating.
Taking all the stats into perspective the Lions passing game is very average and for a team that depends so heavily on the pass that's bad news.

Nora Ephron's Potato-Chip LegacyBy Matt Weinstock
In April The Believer declared Nora Ephron "the original Tina Fey." This week, an obituary on The Daily Beast said that she was bigger than Twain. Both superlatives gloss over the fact that Ephron's work was widely reviled (a Village Voice review of Bewitched even argued that "the Ephrons should have to sharecrop, for all the good they've done for the culture") and that, even for Ephron devotees, part of the charm of seeing her latest flick was wondering whether it'd be typical Burbank dung (Mixed Nuts! Michael!) or a piece of deathless Hollywood legend.
Ephron kept dice in her purse, was willing to "teach almost anyone how to play craps at a moment's notice," and her writing had a gambler's unevenness. The rambling digressiveness, along with the faint datedness, of her worldview only intensified your shock when Ephron arrived, seemingly by accident, at an incisive thought. Here she is in her 1983 roman à clef Heartburn, recounting a speech she often made while preparing Lillian Hellman's pot roast recipe:
I have no problem with her political persona, or with her insistence on making herself the centerpiece of most of the historical conflicts of the twentieth century; but it seems to me that she invented a romantic fantasy about her involvement with Dashiell Hammett that is every bit as unrealistic as the Doris Day movies feminists prefer to blame for society's unrealistic notions about romance … it occurred to me as I delivered [the speech] yet another time that I had always zipped through that part of the speech as if I had somehow managed to be invulnerable to the fantasy, as if I had somehow managed to escape from or rise above it simply as a result of having figured it out. I think you often have that sense when you write—that if you can spot something in yourself and set it down on paper, you're free of it.
As someone who was corn-fed on her movies as a child, the passage seems eerily prophetic. Seeing Ephron gab about "unrealistic notions about romance" in 1983 is rather like hearing those reports that the young L. Ron Hubbard told friends, "If you want to get rich, you start a religion"—and it hints at the nagging contradictions of Nora Ephron's life.

I wanted to use IUD what's the advantage when using this and what's not
Me and my husband wanted to have 2 children only. And after giving birth to my 2nd child ( I am nearly on my due date) I wanted to use safe and healthy contraceptive. Somehow I have bad experience with pills and so I decided to use IUD. IS this ok? please tell and advise me.

Hello jopoys,
One of the best ways to avoid pregnancy is by being able to read your body's personal fertility signs. Women who use natural family planning (NFP) have a very high success rate at avoiding conception when they don't want to conceive - the same rate as using the birth control pill. The largest benefit comes in knowing that you are not putting anything harmful in your body so there is no risk of infection and no risk of reaction.
The IUD is an abortifacient which means that it does little to keep the sperm from reaching and fertilizing the egg. Rather it's main way of preventing conception is by not allowing the newly created human life to implant in the uterus.
Side effects of the IUD are primarily limited to the uterus and include cramps, spotting, heavy periods, infection, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID), and infertility.
In about 1 in 1,000 cases, the IUD will perforate the uterine wall and enter the abdomen where it must be removed surgically.
The IUD must be inserted and removed by a doctor.
In general, the IUD is not something I would personally use, due to all of the possible complications and the fact that it is an abortifacient. My husband and I used natural family planning for the first 7 years we were married and it worked 100% at keeping me from getting pregnant, when my husband didn't want a child. I was highly fertile during those years, too. We also used it to space our children, and it worked great at helping me know my body well so that I could conceive when my husband was ready.
I am now 49 years old and entering menopause and I still use natural family planning so I know when I'm fertile and when I'm not. When I'm fertile, if we make love, my husband chooses to pull out before ejaculation because he doesn't want any more children. It has worked well for us for 29 years (we got married when he was 18 and I was 20).
Please let me know if you have any questions or want any other information on birth control. The diaphragm may be a better option than the IUD for you.
Alternatively, there are always condoms for him.
Warm Regards,

hi kate,
we have done that thing on my first baby, but it wasn't successful. I am very much afraid to get pregnant again. Me and my husband doesn't want 3rd child anymore. We only want 2, I am afraid of pills so was using IUD but I really don't know what's the best choice for now. I don't have any background with diaphragm, but my husband told me he will be using condoms and we really need discipline this time. I think this will really help.

The diaphragm is fitted to your cervix (size) by the doctor. It's similar to a condom in that you have to place it inside before having sex (condom has to be placed on the penis before having sex).
I'm surprised that you got pregnant while using natural family planning because when used correctly, it is very effective. The calendar method is often mistaken as being "natural family planning", but it is not. The calendar method is not effective and it's easy to get pregnant if you're just "counting days"
Will you share exactly what you were doing to avoid pregnancy, that then resulted in pregnancy? I might be able to help you see what you were doing wrong, so you can correct it.
Do you know how to watch your fertility signs and were you marking those on the calendar? The stretch of your mucus, the color of your mucus, etc.? Were you doing that? It only takes about 10 seconds per day to make this notation on the calendar and, again, is very effective at telling you whether you are fertile or not.
Warm Regards,

I just have to say I had bad side effects with the pill, so I tried an IUD. I was told it was less hormonal and would be better for breastfeeding. That may be true, but I spotted on and off for eight months. I also had severe, repeated infections while using the IUD. I was constantly bloated and crampy, had migraines, the works.
My husband also does not want a second child but we have been using natural family planning, including ecological breastfeeding, for over a year now and it is great. I highly recommend looking into NFP, or using non-hormonal contraceptive like condoms or a diaphragm before attempting the IUD.

ABS/Reluctor ring
Hi all,
A couple months ago i got the 3 lights on dash and loss of speedo/fuel mpg gauge which i diagnosed as rear left wheel sensor thanks to this forum
I changed the sensor (cheap off ebay) and all was well again.
However, 2 months later the problem is back. I went and got myself a bmw sensor (ouch) but this did not fix it.
I decised to get myself sorted with inpa/dis and indeed that confirms no signal from rear left wheel. I moved car slowly and all other wheel speeds showing values so its deffo this wheel.
Ive tried the various methods to test the new sensor and even swapped from other side and all seems to say sensor is fine, it is new afterall.
Anyway, on closer inspection looking into the sensor hole i can clearly see the abs ring on the working wheel, but on this rear left it seems 'missing' or at least severely worn away. Interestingly, when i originally replaced the sensor 2mths back i had a right nightmare getting the old torx bolt out, chewed it badly, so bought myself 4 new bolts from bmw so i had them whenever i replaced a sensor. I did notice a the time they were slightly longer than the original, but they went in fine and seemed no contact but im wondering it actually it was just touching the ring and as such worn it/broke it. Hard to see but possible maybe?
Anyway, So im looking now at replacing this ring. I seem to have 3 options.
1. Buy a new ring from (http://www.reluctorrings.com/cars/bmw), remove the driveshaft and then put the new ring on
2. Replace the driveshaft with a used one
3. Buy an aftermarket shaft
Im favouring option 1, mainly as a used shaft might be just as bad and a new one costs much more than just a ring. But has anyone ever done this job? Will i have much hassle getting driveshaft out? Looks like i can drop the sway bar, unbolt the shaft at diff, remove hub axle nut and knock shaft out inwards, then simply reverse with new ring fitted?
Oh yeah, its a 2000 330i sport.
Any guidance, comments appreciated!
Looks like this is not perhaps a common fault or at leat noone come across it, but i will update this thread as i work through it
Today i finally got the driveshaft off and found the abs ring was indeed all but gone - only an inch remained but that crumbled away soon as i touched it
New ring fitted easily with threadlock applied from reluctorrings.com so just to reassemble tomorrow - had to take off shock, control arms and trailing arm to get driveshaft out. I marked the lower arm but realignment will be needed
So just hope now i put it all back and problem solved, will update as i say in case it helps someone else in future - even if it does not solve it.
Just an update.
Put all back together with new reluctor ring and.....exactly the damn same! All 3 lights still on and dis and inpa show no reading from back left wheel, all others and steering angle seem fine
Maybe im looking at a dsc module?
Id love first to be 100pc sure this new ring is working, so plan to do some playing with the multimeter again to see if i can be sure.
Am i right in saying i set the meter to ohms, and attach to the two pins of the sensor, and when i spin wheel the resistance should flicker?
Another update and not good news, i really need some help!
1. I still have the three lights on dash even with new reluctor ring on rear left driveshaft
2. Inpa shows no signal from that wheel sensor when car moves, all others fine
3. Steering angle fine
4. Dis shows only one code, no signal rear left wheel
5. Ive even tried swappng rear sensors in case my new one was duff, no joy
6. Im getting 12v at the sensor connector ok
7. Ive checked all fuses etc all ok
8. All dsc tests in dis i can do work fine. So dsc is communicating ok.
So, either there is still something wrong with this new abs ring, but it is aligned spot on looks right to me, or i have a bad dsc module, or i have some broken wire from that wheel sensor back to module?
Anyone had smilar, where one wheel shows no signal but in fact it was dsc module? Im trying to work out if i can buy a used one to swap out but struggling to find if i can recode it using inpa or dis? Is it easy to remove also without disconnecting brake lines? Looks tucked away and cant see any obvious screws
Or, is it time to take it to an indy? I have used weavers in glasgow before so may just hand it to them now.
Did you ever get this sorted out? Curious to hear what the resolution was.
I Seem to have this as well, and no good ideas left :-|:thumbdwn:
In my case (99 E46 328i w/180K miles) a new ABS sensor was all that was required; reluctor ring seemed fine. Not sure it's even a separate part.
Has this been solved? Im having the exact same thing and I cant see any reluctor ring. Going to go ahead with that but now im not sure what to do this is the first thread ive seen on this and my own recent thread is getting zero response

Well looks like its on. July 27 up in Doncaster
Well looks like its on. July 27 up in Doncaster
MMA Officials London, Essex and East Anglia representative
Isnt he boxing Suntansuperman?
BAMMA are doing a show in Doncaster?
How much did they pay Shamrock to be on the last show?
I reckon there on about between 15k to 20k basic with maybe a 5k add bonus for a finish.
Not 100% sure how that's going to work out for them but I know they could probably pull the fight off.
Wait I've just read that article... 'Legends World Title'... I thought Ken Shamrock was fighting Ian Freeman?
Presumably it'll be in the smaller stadium attached to the 15k seater? Or in some kind of suite? (I once overheard someone talking about FCC, saying they couldn't wait as the atmosphere at the Reebok would be sick with 30,000 fans there, lol)
Not really sure what to make of this fight. As a fan I was really game for it back when it was first supposed to go down in what, 2003? For me, the period after the Ortiz loss was when Ken's 'legendary' status was at it's greatest. I wish he'd have called it quits either then, or after the Kimo KO. Now, as someone who started following the sport when Ken was 'The World's Most Dangerous Man', I just don't see Ken as a 'legend' anymore.
Regardless of status though, I just don't see this as being an entertaining fight. Going off past history, Ken has just not looked up for it in years. Freeman, by contrast, went out on a high and judging by his kickboing fight last year, is still in pretty decent shape. Unless you're interest is in seeing Ken getting KO'd inside a minute or two (if he lasts that long), then I don't see the appeal here.
On the plus side, even though I see it as a miss-match, it's better than Ken getting sparked by some young up-and-comer. And at least in Freeman he's fighting a recognizable fellow pioneer, rather than some guy who's in danger of dying of complications related to morbid obesity (one of Ken's most recent 'wins' - Ross Clifton).
Fighting, writing and mood lighting.
I can't imagine Shamrock is coming cheap.
