DEFIANCE, Ohio – The big play ability of the offense and defense for Adrian College led to a 14-0 win at Defiance College on Saturday afternoon to even the Bulldogs' record at 1-1. It was the seventh straight win over the Yellow Jackets and the first time that Adrian has shut out Defiance in the series since 2008. The Adrian defense yielded 300 total yards and stiffened in the red zone as Defiance went 0-for-3 inside the 20-yard line.
The game was scoreless heading into the final minute of the first half before lightning struck for the Adrian defense. Defiance was third-and-six from the Adrian nine-yard line when Sean Washington was hit by Jack Carter and coughed up the ball. Deontae Bridgeman scooped it up and rumbled 91 yards for a score to give Adrian a 7-0 lead. It was the longest fumble return for a touchdown in school history.
Defiance drove into Adrian territory on their second drive of the third quarter, but it stalled on fourth-and-seven from the 31-yard line when Washington completed just a two-yard pass to Aaron Spence. The Bulldogs fumbled on their next possession and called again on the defense to make a stand. The Yellow Jackets marched to the Adrian 13-yard line, but on fourth-and-two it was Washington throwing incomplete to Joey Chester with Bridgeman breaking up the pass.
Defiance moved into the fourth quarter with possession but was forced to punt down to the Adrian 18-yard line with 13:57 left. Adrian false started and then lost two yards on the ground before Aaron Tenney and Nathan Hartline connected on a school-record tying 89-yard scoring strike to give Adrian a 14-0 lead with 12:59 remaining in the game.
Washington was picked off at the Adrian 15-yard line by Curtis Rhoden who then lateraled to Charles Fleck for a 12-yard return with 8:45 to play. Adrian simply could not move the ball most of the day but were able to pin the Yellow Jackets deep after a 51-yard punt by Dustin Salliotte to the Jacket 15-yard line. Defiance took the ball with 4:03 left and Mark Boggs took over at quarterback for the home team. His second pass however was intercepted by Nate Smith at the DC 43-yard line and went out of bounds.
Adrian went three-and-out and the Yellow Jackets took over one more time with 1:16 remaining. Boggs ran for no gain and had two incomplete passes setting up fourth down. Jordan Clark and LeShawn McGuire ended things fittingly with a quarterback sack for a loss of 10 yards. Adrian took one knee and the game was over.
Adrian gained 207 total yards rushing for 74 and throwing for 133. Dae'Von Robinson rushed for 49 yards and Hartline hauled in three passes for 108 yards eclipsing the 100-yard mark for the first time in his career. Salliotte averaged 44.2 yards per punt on six attempts. Dro Clark led the defense with nine tackles while Hunter Juntunen added eight tackles including two for a loss of 10 yards. Adrian's defense caused three turnovers and made 10 tackles for a loss of 34 yards. Next up for the football team will be homecoming on Saturday, Sept. 21 versus Concordia-Chicago with kickoff set for 5 p.m.

And i also tried the mono alphabetic substitution method, but that doesnt seem to work either.

DARTMOUTH — The abrupt closing of a Brighton-based sleep lab operation caused a few sleepless nights for a local medical practice after they learned their business partner was closing via a late-evening text message.
DARTMOUTH — The abrupt closing of a Brighton-based sleep lab operation caused a few sleepless nights for a local medical practice after they learned their business partner was closing via a late-evening text message.
Sometime on Jan. 23, Sleep HealthCenters abruptly closed all 19 of its clinics, all but two of which were located in New England. That included one sleep program in SouthCoast, a lab owned by New Bedford Medical Associates and managed by Sleep HealthCenters.
No advance notice was given for Sleep HealthCenters' closing and messages on its voice mail system and website offer little explanation for the decision.
"We regret to inform you that Sleep HealthCenters is closed for business. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have ceased all clinical and lab operations," a brief notice reads.
Sleep HealthCenters operated specialized facilities to diagnose and treat patients with sleep-related problems. The Dartmouth lab was located in New Bedford Medical's Faunce Corner Road offices.
Dr. Curtis Mello, president and CEO of New Bedford Medical, said he only learned of the closing through an 8 p.m. text he and another administrator received on Jan. 23.
"It was very unprofessional," he said of the notice.
No patients were disrupted, Mello said, because Wednesday night is not one of the practices' sleep study nights.
"That worked out to our advantage," he said. "Otherwise we would have had patients who showed up."
Patients who had been scheduled for future appointments were notified by Sleep HealthCenters employees who learned about the closing about three hours before he did, Mello said.
While the closing was unexpected, Mello said it won't jeopardize New Bedford Medical's sleep lab. The practice has already found a replacement, he said.
"We've already entered into a formal arrangement with Epoch Sleep Centers. Epoch will be opening up (Wednesday) for the first round of patients (Wednesday) night," said Mello.
Based in Lincoln, R.I., Epoch has four sleep center locations, according to its website. Three are in Rhode Island and the fourth is in Swansea. Mello said he called Epoch the same night he learned of Sleep HealthCenters' closing and that they were in Dartmouth the next morning to discuss an agreement.

Hey folks
So if you are in guild on both Alliance and Horde side on different realms, and you have these 'pets', does this mean a person with only 2 of them (presuming your collections are equal otherwise) will have a better pet score?
My guild pages and heralds are still showing as needing to be upgraded even though i know at least 2 are rare...maybe I'm remembering wrong and I didnt upgrade them but I have lots of stones and will check later. In the meantime, I wondered if a person had 2 of these at rare would your pet score be different than if you had 4 at rare?

The Creighton Baseball squad were unable to duplicate the magic of Thursday night, falling to Missouri State 3-2 on Friday, May 17.
The loss dropped the Bluejays and Bears into a tie in the MVC at 12-8. On the season, Creighton fell to 29-16 overall, while Missouri State moved to 30-20.
The rubber game of the series on Saturday will secure the No. 3 seed in the Missouri Valley Tournament for the victor.
Creighton opened the scoring in the first with a manufactured run. Junior Brad McKewon legged out a leadoff single, moved to second on a sacrifice by junior Federico Castagnini. He took third via a passed ball, then scored on an RBI groundout from sophomore Jake Peter.
Missouri State answered with single runs in the third and the fourth frames, taking advantage of two throwing errors to score in the third. The Bears got back-to-back singles to open the fourth and eventually took the lead on a sacrifice fly from shortstop Travis McComack.
The Bluejays pulled even in the fourth as Peter drew a leadoff walk, went to second on a sacrifice from senior Alex Staehely and scored via an RBI triple into left-center from freshman Reagan Fowler.
Peter went to the mound in the ninth, but Missouri State touched up the Jays' closer for a run on three hits to take a 3-2 lead. The game-winning RBI came off the bat of Eric Cheray on a single to right.
Unlike Thursday, the Jays went down in order in the ninth.
MSU reliever Erik Shanahan moved to 3-1 on the season with 1.2 innings of scoreless ball, while Grant Gordon nabbed his fourth save of the season with a flawless ninth.
Peter fell to 2-1, giving up one run on three hits in an inning of work. Sophomore Mark Lukowski tossed four innings of scoreless relief for the Jays in the loss.
The Jays and Bears wrap up their three-game series and the 2013 regular season on Saturday, May 18 at 1 p.m. in TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.

The new iPhone 5 may be thinner and lighter than previous models, but users may find that it could stand to go on a data diet.
Wireless carriers have been jacking up rates and slowing speeds of heavy data users in recent months. AT&T T, +1.04% and Verizon VZ, -0.02% , for example, recently introduced shared-data plans that could make owning any smartphone cheaper for some families, and pricier for many individuals used to unlimited data plans. Both firms also have taken steps to push users that were grandfathered into discontinued unlimited plans into metered plans.
More expensive data, of course, is bad news for iPhone 5 owners Experts expect the faster 4G LTE connection on the handset will prompt more data usage a Validas study recently found 4G LTE users consume an average 1.2GB per month, versus 500 MB for users on slower connections. Nokia Siemens Networks estimates that by 2020, the average user could be going through a full gigabyte of data daily. Analysts say data charges are only going to go up as more consumers pick smartphones and take advantage of all their features. "Death, taxes and increases in your cellular bill are all things we can count on," said Brad Spirrison, managing editor for app review site Appolicious. With that in mind, smartphone users can cut back on their data consumption by tweaking settings and changing their behavior.
Hunt for WiFi
Just half of smartphone owners tapped into a WiFi connection on their phone over the previous 30 days, says Don Kellogg, director of telecom research and insights at Nielsen. Carriers only charge for data sent over their own networks -- not WiFi -- so that means a lot of people aren't taking advantage of a big opportunity for free web browsing, email and downloads. Kellogg says Android and iOS devices automatically connect to known WiFi networks, so make sure to give them the password to home and work connections. Consumers already using WiFi could save, too, by using it more. It's best to wait until one is on a free connection to download or update apps and transfer other big files, he says.
Go off-grid
A wide variety of apps and features, including the camera and Facebook, use the phone's GPS to track its location. That's great for a user who's looking for directions or logging a run, but the function can keep running in the background even when the app isn't in use, says technology consultant Alex Goldfayn, author of "Evangelist Marketing." "That's eating data and draining your battery," he says. It's tough to say how much, exactly, but combined with other strategies the shift could be enough to push subscribers into a smaller data bucket. Smartphone users can toggle settings on their phones to turn individual apps' access on and off as needed. There's also a phone-wide off/on option for location-tracking, says Goldfayn, but hit that switch with caution -- setting everything to "off" also nixes apps that track a lost or stolen phone.
Save video for bigger screens
Experts agree: Video is currently the biggest data-suck out there. "One movie will probably get you close to 1GB of data, streamed," said Goldfayn. T-Mobile's data use estimation tool projects someone who streams videos "occasionally" might use 5.86 GB per month for that habit alone, for example. Combined, occasional use of apps and games, file transfers, web surfing and email use 3.5 GB per month, in comparison. Watch downloaded rather than streamed content while using the carrier's data network, Goldfayn says, and look for a WiFi connection for streaming when possible.
Choose a less data-hungry phone
According to a recent report from consulting firm Arieso, iPhone 4S users download 2.76 times as much data than iPhone 3G users. "It is the case certainly that there are some devices that are associated with the increased use among subscribers," said Michael Flanagan, Arieso's chief technology officer. But he says it's not yet clear whether having a particular handset causes consumers to spend more, or if it's more that heavier data users are drawn to specific handsets. In any case, smartphone users hoping for a smaller bill could see some savings by picking a handset that offers fewer opportunities to use data. (Sorry, Siri.)
Set a limit
Under new Federal Communications Commission rules, carriers must start sending alerts by Oct. 17 to warn subscribers as they approach their plan limits for voice minutes, texts or data. Unusual use may already trigger a courtesy call or text in some cases, experts say. Right now, many carriers offer family controls for a small fee, roughly $5 per month, that let users set hard limits on phone usage, including downloads. Android device owners using newer versions of the operating system, called Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich, can also adjust phone settings to cut off data use entirely to avoid going over the limit, says Spirrison.
Monitor family use
Depending on the plan, a family might have separate data charges for each line or one shared bucket, Kellogg says. Either arrangement could be problematic, considering that data usage among teens ages 13 to 17 spiked 256% over the past year, according to Nielsen. Their average 321 MB per month is relatively modest compared with the average 578 MB per month among the 25-34 set, but that alone is still more than carriers' cheapest data plans, and combined with other lines, could easily force an overage. "Just like anything else you give your teenager, you should monitor data use," said Kellogg.

Financial planning is defined as "the process of determining how an individual can meet life goals through the proper management of his or her financial resources. Some life goals include a comfortable retirement, buying a home, saving for a child's education, or starting a business." A financial planner assists people with their financial planning needs including: investment planning, insurance planning, tax planning, retirement planning, and estate planning.

Yang Baibing, veteran Chinese revolutionary and later proponent of economic reforms, dies
BEIJING – Yang Baibing, a veteran Chinese revolutionary and strong proponent of economic liberalization, has died. He was 92.
Along with his more famous half-brother, former Chinese president Yang Shangkun, Yang had been among the most powerful leaders in China. However, he was forced into retirement in 1992 and his supporters were purged from the officer corps by former paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, who feared the Yang brothers were accumulating too much power.
Yang joined the Chinese Communist Party in 1938 and battled both Japanese invaders and Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalists before the communist seizure of power in 1949.
A powerful backer of the bloody military crackdown on 1989 pro-democracy protests centered on Beijing's Tiananmen Square, Yang later stood by Deng in his struggle against conservatives opposed to further economic reforms.

During a report to the Grand County Council on Tuesday, March 5, Whitney said the county is experiencing "a huge increase" in commercial development – both new construction and additions to existing businesses.
Council chairman Gene Ciarus expressed surprise at such a sizeable boost in construction projects.
"Are you sure about this $16 million?" he asked.
Assured by Whitney that the number is correct, Ciarus said, "It's about time we get something going."
During an interview, Whitney said that hotel and motel construction accounts for most of the activity. He said he anticipates permits to construct 350 new units will be issued by the end of 2013.
The current activity is the best the county has seen "in years and years," Whitney added.
Projects leading the way include the Inn of Moab at 100 North and 100 West, which has a projected valuation of $9.3 million for its 91 rooms, according to figures from the county. The Arches Fairfield Marriott is slated for construction north of Moab near Canyonlands by Night and Day. The facility will include 90 rooms and has a projected valuation of $6.4 million. The Marriott project will also include a private water treatment plant valued at $345,500.
The 12-unit Shields Lane Transitional Housing project is valued at $524,400.
Meanwhile, the estimated valuation of residential construction during the first quarter is down slightly from 2012, Whitney said. This year's first-quarter projection is $2.8 million compared to almost $3.4 million during the same period last year, county statistics show.
Total building valuations for 2012 were $13.9 million for residential construction and $4.2 million for commercial projects, according to information from the county.
The county issued a total of 241 building permits during 2012. That included 192 residential permits and 49 commercial permits.

Managed in cooperation withSouth Florida Water Management DistrictPolk County
David BirdsallSouth Florida Water Management District
Lake Marion Creek WMA consists of more than 8,000 acres north and east of Lake Marion in Polk County 5 miles east of Haines City on SR 580. The land was purchased by the South Florida Water Management District and Polk County to protect water and other natural resources. Most of the area is hardwood swamp, which makes hunting and other recreational activities challenging. Lake Marion remains a good spot for squirrel hunting. Horseback riding is prohibited. Bicycling is allowed on Huckleberry Island Road. Camping is prohibited during hunting seasons and permitted at other times only with a special-use license from the South Florida Water Management District (800) 250-4250. There are hiking trails from the following designated entrances: Snell Creek, Huckleberry Island, Baltic Road, and Horse Creek. Fishing is available on Snell Creek. White-tailed deer, feral hogs, wading birds (including white ibis, little blue heron, great blue heron, and great egret), scrub-jays, and gopher tortoises are some of the wildlife that can be observed on the area. You may also find the tracks of sand skinks in the white scrub sands.

Amazon Can't Cage 'The Goldfinch' Publisher
Best-Selling Novel Gives Boost to Hachette Book Group
Donna Tartt's novel "The Goldfinch" opens with a series of gloomy scenes—a museum bombing, the death of the narrator's mother, and the theft of a 17th–century painting. The word admirers often use to describe it is "Dickensian."
But the book has brought only good news to publisher Hachette Book Group, giving the publisher a much-needed boost this summer as it weathers the fallout from a lengthy e-book contract dispute with Amazon.com Inc....

How Much does a Alfa Romeo GTV Oil Pan/Sump Gasket Replacement Cost?
The oil pan gasket on your Alfa Romeo GTV keeps the oil on the correct side of your engine – the inside.
A proper engine oil level maintains good internal lubrication, keeps your engine temperature in check, and prevents corrosion on internal engine components.
If your engine's oil pan gasket or sump gasket develops a leak, your engine will eventually be starved of lubrication and can develop running problems.
You might think of a leaking oil pan gasket as an annoyance more than anything, but it can lead to devastating consequences if left uncorrected.
An oil pan gasket replacement will be from $100 to $400 typically, although unusual configurations can drive that price up much further.

Luongo also lost three games for us. And don't give me the whole "we didn't score any goals" speech, I've heard it before. Lou let in everything directed at the fucking net in those games. We weren't going to win them with goaltending like that and the whole team knew it.The_Pauser wrote:Right, because 3 good starts is the same as 0 good games, right? Luongo won 3 games for us. The Sedins won 0 for us. Their offense was non-existent, yet people like to sweep that under the rug.Rumsfeld wrote:I don't think any of us were happy with The Sedins or Luongo's performances in the Final. Kesler was seriously hurt but still worked hard and skated his ass off. That put the load squarely on our other three superstars and leaders and they failed to deliver in a pretty big way.
It's true that Luongo was terrific in three of the games but he was so spectacularly bad in at least three of the losses that it's hard to feel any better about his performance than the twins'.
Luckily we don't have to worry about seeing that again because there's very little chance we are in a Final for quite some time.
I'm over it I tell ya ... any day now.
Anyway I sure as hell haven't been sweeping the Sedins' shortcomings under the rug so you might wanna change your tampon on that score.
I think the Sedins are fantastic human beings. Genuinely kind, generous, morally upright people.
I also think those same qualities render them less effective against the meaner, bigger teams in the league.
Hence the desperate need for more assholes, and the bigger the better.

This hotel is really charming, with all the amenities to have a great vacation. It is well located, with many interesting places to visit close by. A few years ago my husband and I worked as musicians at the piano bar, which was also great. For work reasons, we now live in Spain, but every time we go to Cuba we go to the elegant lobby of this hotel to enjoy a few mojitos or daiquiris. Greetings to Don Pepe, and to my daughter Mioara who arrived to the hotel today. Hugs to Carmen and Ernesto.

What a hassle. I reserved this place from the standard CubaHotelReservations site with my visa for an elderly lady whose first time it was in Cuba. Before she arrived, I decided to show up in person to make sure everything was OK, just in case. Good thing I did. It turns out that not only is there no reservation, but the hotel is booked and that my friend would have to make other plans at the last minute. The lady at the desk was extremely rude and completley unhelpful, actually telling me "it's not my problem..."
Since I still had two days paid for aside from the one that was wasted, I was told to come back and talk to the reservations staff at the hotel as confirming reservations is apparently too complicated a task for regular front desk staff here.
So I wasted my evening waiting for my friend to arrive, taking her to a new hotel and checked her in. Then I show up the next morning and waste another hour waiting for the "reservation staff" to confirm my booking. They fail and tell me to call back later. Great.
Sometime that afternoon I call and they say that they found the reservation and everything checks out for the next two days and that they would refund the money for the first day. Great... or not.
I find out later that after my friend checked in, the desk staff continued to harass her, calling her room and claiming that she need to COME DOWN AND PAY!?!?! Only after several trips down to the lobby and several phone calls did they finally figure things out.
And I am still waiting for my refund.
A nice enough hotel... little to far from the center, but what a bunch of WORTHLESS, RUDE, INCOMPETENT FAILURES who work at the reservations and the front desk. It's a shame, because the place has potential to be a relaxing place to stay. This is the first negative review I have ever written about a hotel in Cuba. I am not one of those anal schmucks who expects the sun and moon for under 100 dollars... but this was ridiculous.

I found all staff and accommodations excellent. All staff was very helpful with any questions. My maid, Clara, was especially kind and considerate...writing me a note each day about enjoying my stay. The breakfasts were more than adequate and varied and the other meals I ate at the Hotel were also quite good. I would certainly recommend the Hotel Presidente to my friends.

hotel da evitare a l'havana, molte cose non vanno, struttura fatiscente, camera sporca, puzza di muffa, aria condizionata che non funziona, assenza di frigobar (contrariamente a quanto asserito al momento della prenotazione), colazione pessima, 4 pc destinati ad internet con 2 però fuori uso, code lunghissime anche solo per consultare la propria posta elettronica, la vendita solo di schede di 60 minuti per lucrare la differenza.... insomma, moltissima insoddisfazione (sono fuggito dopo solo un giorno) e l'impressione davvero forte che cerchino solo di scucirti denaro per qualsiasi cosa....
consiglio spassionato da parte di un viaggiatore che si sposta spesso... questo hotel è lontano persino dagli standard di cuba, evitatelo...

The experience overall was good. We had reserved 2 rooms (1 for kids & 1 for my husband & I). Our shower needed repair and we reported everyday from the time we checked in, finally on the 5th day maintenance came and looked at it but could not fix it. We ended up showering in our kids room.
The wait staff in the breakfast/dinner dining were not very friendly. Also, we had our dinner included in our package and I asked when we checked in and was told only breakfast was included. After 4 or 5 days the front desk mentioned to me that our dinner was included.

For the longest time, the default search provider in Ubuntu Linux has been Google, but this is going to change in the next release, Lucid Lynx, scheduled to release April 29. The change comes after Canonical has signed a revenue sharing deal with Yahoo!, so you can imagine who the new default search provider will be.

RE: how much 'revenue'?
by TheIdiotThatIsMe on Wed 27th Jan 2010 16:44 UTC in reply to "how much 'revenue'?"
Thats what I was wondering too. From my understanding it would only share in revenue actually generated through (my guess) ads clicked on in search results and various things like that. So considering that most people will probably simply change back to google, and/or use adblocking add-ons, or not use Firefox at all, I wonder why either party actually bothered. And of course we know we'll never actually be given even a glimpse of whether either makes any money or marketshare on this.

Persons born on or after June 1, 1975 may not be issued a license to hunt in Florida with the use of a firearm, gun (including a muzzleloading gun), bow or crossbow without first having successfully completed a hunter safety course. Anyone who meets the above description must present a valid hunter safety certification card prior to being issued a hunting license (excluding lifetime licenses).
Individuals exempted from having a hunting license but born on or after June 1, 1975 are exempted from the hunter safety requirement. The exemption does not apply to persons with a Florida Resident Disabled Person Hunting and Fishing License or anyone hunting on military bases. Completion of a hunter safety course is required by the federal government to hunt on military bases.
Lifetime license holders born on or after June 1, 1975 whose licenses do not indicate that they have completed a hunter safety course must have the hunter safety certification card in their possession while hunting.
Duplicate Hunter Safety Cards and Class Registration Lookup
Out-of-state Hunters
A hunter safety card or certificate issued for a course completed in another state is accepted in Florida.
Hunter Safety Requirement DeferralAnyone 16 years or older and born after May 31, 1975 may hunt under the supervision of a qualified hunter without having to complete the state's hunter safety certification.
Hunters using this Hunter Safety Mentoring Exemption need to be under the supervision of an adult, 21 years old or older, who has a valid hunting license or is exempt from the hunting license requirement and who has met the hunter safety requirement or is exempt from the hunter safety requirement.
Hunters who pass a hunter safety course before their mentoring exemption license expires, and carry their license and certification card can hunt without supervision.
Law enforcement and military personnel
Law enforcement and military personnel are not exempt from the hunter education certification requirement. Gun safety is just one of the twelve subjects that are taught at the hunter safety courses.
However, Florida residents in the U.S. Armed Service stationed outside of Florida are exempt from purchasing a license if they are home on leave for 30 days or less. Since they are exempt from purchasing a license, they are exempt from having to take the hunter safety course. When hunting, they need to carry their leave orders with them in case they are stopped by a law enforcement officer. However, once discharged or if they get stationed in Florida, they will have to take a hunter safety course in order to purchase a hunting license.
Concealed weapons permit safety course
The Commission's hunter safety certificate can be used to apply for a concealed weapons permit (CWP). The minimum requirement for a CWP is a four hour safety class. The Commission's hunter safety course is a 16-hour course and meets this requirement. Concealed Weapons Permitting is handled by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DOACS). For additional information, please contact the DOACS Division of Licensing.

Police in Tennessee are reviewing a viral video revealing how a driver was bullied, intimidated and shouted at by an officer at a checkpoint looking for drunk drivers.
The officer refuses to answer questions from the driver, and interestingly, the driver notes that at no time during his detention was he asked by those running the DUI checkpoint whether he had been drinking.
According to the Daily News Journal, the officer who was caught shouting at the innocent driver was Rutherford County Sheriff's Deputy A.J. Ross.
The video was set up by the driver, who ultimately faced no charges from the checkpoint.
"We've gotten worldwide response for this," said Axl David, the communications director for the state's Libertarian Party.
He explained a Chris Kalbaugh, a 21-year-old junior from Middle Tennessee State University, let him know about his plans.
David told the Journal that Kalbaugh said he was going to "exercise his rights" and record the results on video.
The online video reveals Ross asking Kalbaugh at the checkout to roll his window down more, but Kalbaugh refused because he said he could hear the officer clearly.
Ross quickly orders him to pull his car over and get out, repeatedly refusing to answer the student's question on whether he was being detained. Kalbaugh also alleges that the officers there got a drug-sniffing dog and instructed the animal to "check" his car, whereupon the dog jumped up against the vehicle and scratched it repeatedly.
No drugs were found, even though the officers said the dog an indicated they were present.
"I looked at the video later on when I got home, and I noticed that every time the officer said, 'check here,' the dog scratched my car," Kalbaugh told the paper.
He said he was careful to be certain he broke no laws, and tried to be respectful.
"The officers would not let me leave, but they would not answer if I was being detained."
"He's perfectly innocent and he knows his rights. He knows what the Constitution says," the officer admitted while out of Kalbaugh's presence. "He's got air fresheners under the seat…"
Then a flashlight from another officer zeroes in on the camera.
"Oh yeah."
"It's running," is heard.
Then the camera is turned away from the officers into the darkness, followed by sounds of fumbling around in the car, something being torn or something being shifted.
Kalbaugh said, "I was yelled at, bossed around, my car ransacked without my consent, had my rights taken away from me, all because of my window. All while not being detained. I broke no laws. Officer Ross told me that my constitutional rights did not matter at checkpoints.
"Happy 4th of July," he said.
Gabriel Fancher, secretary for the Rutherford County Republican Party, said the situation highlighted by the video is "a tough one."
"I realize that these road blocks help keep drunk drivers off the roads, and illegal searches like the one witnessed in the video are bound to turn up illegal drugs every now and then, but this is an example of soft tyranny," Fancher told DNJ. "Our founders put in place rules and laws to limit these offenses, but over time we have slowly given up these rights — sometimes without even realizing it, because most people are good people and will mind a police officer when they tell us to do something."
"Our trust in the government is being damaged at all levels," Fancher added.
Such incidents are not restricted to Tennessee. There also was a recent incident at another DUI checkpoint at Lake Tahoe:
There also was a conversation by officers who were refused permission to search a vehicle they wanted to look into:

Tiger Blade, The (US - BD)
Gabe has absolutely no idea what's going on here, but he thinks he likes it...
If you gather John Woo, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, and Takashi Miike, sequester them in separate hotel suites, give them enough cocaine and Red Bull to kill a horse, plus a list of things the kids find 'cool' these days, then force them to each make a different short film using the same actors, and edit the films together, you might end up with something as insanely random and hyperactive as The Tiger Blade.
I'd try to sum up the plot, but this film makes more or less zero sense on more or less every level. The thrust of the story is a constant mystery, the characters and their relationship to one another is constantly up in the air, and the many last act double crosses are bereft of shock because the alliances are never appropriately defined. Director Theeratorn Siriphunvaraporn obviously just had a series of set pieces in his head, and he wasn't too concerned with connecting them. Things just keep happening at a frighteningly attention deficit pace. It often appears that large sections of film have gone missing, as characters warp straight from the beginning of an action to its end.
TheTiger Blade sword itself, the inspiration for the bloody title, has almost no bearing on the 'plot', it's simply acquired, used, and forgotten. When the sword is found the hero must find virgin's blood to activate it, which proves to be a difficult task. One assumes this is going to become a plot point, or at least the set up for a joke, but the punch line is delivered off screen, and in the end only important to two additional action scenes. It's times like this where it seems that Siriphunvaraporn is trying to insure that none of the threads tie together. Even the editing of the actions scenes is non-sequential, and the comedic aspects jump rigidly out of nowhere.
But like I say, I still haven't seen a boring Thai film, and despite all this stupidity The Tiger Blade sucked me in with its anarchic sound and fury. I've got no idea what the hell is going on, but it's colourful, flashy, sexy, bloody, and often hilarious in its out of nowhere sense of absurdist humour.
Ah, the saturated pastels of Thailand, it's almost like they were made for high definition. The Tiger Blade isn't quite as highly detailed as the BCI release of Vengeance, but this is mostly due to the film's softer lighting. Often the film appears overexposed, but this is all part of the director's style over substance plan. Saturated colours and whites are very bright without sacrificing the rich blacks. The greens are especially gorgeous, and flesh tones are spot on, without too much red or green in the mix. I caught a few minor instances of print artefacts, but compression noise is nearly non-existent, save a few of the darker sequences. The image flutters a little bit during some of the tracking shots, but you'd really have to be looking for it to be bothered by it.
BCI has once again offered three audio choices, Dolby Digital 5.1 Thai, Dolby Surround Thai, or Dolby Surround English. The English dub is very vocal heavy, knocking sound effects and music way down on the track, and the dubbing actors aren't putting very much into their line readings, so I'd say skip straight to the 5.1 Thai track. The Tiger Blade is just as audibly furious as it is thematically ridiculous, so you can expect a lot of aggression from the track, though it seems to these ears to have been compressed quite a bit. The surround effects all seem to work, but I had to turn things up a little higher than usual to get the desired effect. The centred dialogue exhibits some noticeable distortion throughout the film, even when characters aren't yelling. This problem is most obvious towards the very end of the film where all the protagonists and antagonists have drawn guns on each other. I'm also a little disappointed with the LFE track, which isn't as punchy as I would've preferred. The Tiger Blade uses a lot of silly, umpa umpa techno music, and sometimes that thumping bass is a little loose.
This small collection of extras begins with a collection of raw, behind the scenes footage. There are no interviews, intercut scenes from the film, or even catchy music, just point and shoot footage from the making of the movie's various action scenes, in no particular order. It seems there are a million ways to be injured on the set of a Thai action film, but driving a go-cart under a moving semi truck apparently isn't one of them. The footage runs close to twenty minutes, and is followed by fifteen minutes of interviews with really awful sound quality. Apparently the producers intended The Tiger Blade to be a Western friendly project that they could sell to any country. Perhaps this attempt at a Hollywood production can be blamed for the non-sequential nature of the film. The interviews are intercut with the same behind the scenes footage, so do yourself a favour and skip right to them, you'll save yourself twenty minutes. It all comes crashing down with trailers for The Tiger Blade and Vengeance.
It wild and wacky, and I think you need to have some kind of specialist's degree to understand what the hell is going on, but The Tiger Blade makes for some pretty great beer and pizza movie watching. The disc is priced right, and looks great, so why not gather up some friends for a hyperactive night at the movies? Just don't say I didn't warn you.

I had the Thai disc with the blurred out scenes. Very odd choice of things to blur, like a cigarette in a guy's mouth or a knife or gun pointed to a head. The horribly translated subs on the disc didn't help the incoherent plot, so I immediately sold off the disc. I never thought I'd see a US Blu-Ray release.

Thanks btw.
I mean that the box art said DD5.1, as did the menu (I should've probably said that), but these things lie all the time. The box art also listed the run time as 90 minutes.

Salivary duct stones are deposits of minerals in the ducts that drain the salivary glands. Salivary duct stones are a type of
Alternative Names
Saliva (spit) is produced by the salivary glands in the mouth. The chemicals in saliva can form a hard crystal that can block the salivary ducts.
When saliva cannot exit a blocked duct, it backs up into the gland. This may cause pain and swelling of the gland.
There are three pairs of major salivary glands.
- Parotid glands. These are the two largest glands. One is located in each cheek over the jaw in front of the ears. Inflammation of one or more of these glands is called parotitis, or parotiditis.
- Submandibular glands. These two glands located at the back of the mouth on both sides of the jaw.
- Sublingual glands. These two glands are located are under the floor of the mouth.
Salivary stones most often affect the submandibular glands. They can also affect the parotid glands.
- Problems opening the mouth or swallowing
- Dry mouth
Pain in the faceor mouth Swelling of the faceor neck (can be severe when eating or drinking)
The symptoms occur most often when eating or drinking.
Exams and Tests
The health care provider or dentist will do an exam of your head and neck to look for one or more enlarged, tender salivary glands. The doctor may be able to feel the stone during the exam.
Tests such as x-rays, ultrasound, MRI scan or CT scan of the face are used to confirm the diagnosis.
The goal is to remove the stone.
Steps you can take at home include:
- Drinking lots of water
- Using sugar-free lemon drops to increase the saliva
Other ways to remove the stone are:
- Massaging the gland with heat. The doctor or dentist may be able to push the stone out of the duct.
- In some cases, you may need surgery to cut out the stone.
- A newer treatment that uses shock waves to break the stone into small pieces is another option.
- A new technique called Sialoendoscopy can diagnose and treat stones in the salivary gland duct using miniature cameras and instruments
- If stones become infected orcome backoften, you may need surgery to remove the salivary gland.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Most of the time, salivary duct stones cause only pain or discomfort, and at times become infected.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of salivary duct stones.

Projects that have cleaned up neighbourhoods and made streets safer have been awarded extra funding from Derbyshire County Council.
A total of £65,000 will be shared between two community safety projects which focus on cleaning up graffiti and providing street lighting in areas with high levels of crime and disorder.
The clean–up work took place sites last year and further places have been earmarked for improvement with the new funding.
Work has included removing vegetation and bushes, cleaning general debris and litter, removing fly tipping, painting and decorating.
Graffiti has been removed around the county including on bridges, subways, signs, railings, fences and walls.
The aim of the street lighting initiative is to make people feel more secure in areas with higher levels of crime and antisocial behaviour. At the same time the lighting is intended to deter criminals who are more likely to be identified or witnessed.
An evaluation of the project showed crime rates fell by 13 per cent since the extra lighting was installed, assaults fell by 19 per cent and damage and arson by almost 16 per cent.

Toon Update: 1/28/2009
The Guild:
We have had the usual ups and downs, but things have been going well for the guild. We have downed Sarth 3D twice now. Once before patch 3.0.8 and once after. It is by no means an easy fight, but I think it is a little funny how my opinion has changed on it. It used to seem impossible, but now I realize that it is very manageable with good people and a little bit of practice. Anyway, we now have the Twilight Vanquisher title but I still wear the Undying title.
I have to say the [Reins of the Twilight Drake] is very pretty. I would love to have one but I can't bring myself to roll on it yet. I would never use it because Swift Flight Form is just so awesome in so many ways. I will get it eventually because we have at least a year to farming it.
Now that we have cleared all content we are focusing on achievements. We've done most of the easy ones, so our two main goals are [The Immortal] and [Heroic: You Don't Have An Eternity].
[The Immortal] shouldn't be too hard. As long as we remain focused and have a little bit of luck there shouldn't be a problem. Really, we've killed most if not all of the bosses without someone dying. We just haven't done it in one lock out period. The big issues seem to be Razuvious - we have issues with the pull and a healer usually bites it, Thaddius - DCs are death, Sapphiron - I don't know why but someone always seems to die. Really we have the skill to do it and have done it on 10man. We just need to put it all together and do it.
[Heroic: You Don't Have An Eternity] is another story. Personally, I think it is the harder of the two main achievements we have left. We tried it one night before 3.0.8 dropped and I thought we made some real progress. I think we could have easily gotten it with another night of practice. However, Patch 3.0.8 has made it much tougher. The spark placement now needs to be perfect and that requires some combination of Luck and skill. Unfortunately our luck has been horrible and the DKs have to work their butts off to get the sparks placed correctly. I think we will get it but I don't think it will be quick.
From a 10man perspective things have been going well also. Our main focus there is downing Sarth 3D. The 10man version is definitely harder then the 25man version. Its just really hard to stack the right combinations of buffs and debuffs to make it possible. We also have [You Don't Have An Eternity] to do but I think it will be easier. We killed him in just over 8 minutes missing two DPS. Putting those two DPS in should make it easy. Realistically as a guild we are about done with 10mans until 3.1 comes out. We don't need the gear, and most of the achievements are done.
From a toon stand point Graylo is going about as well as I could hope for from a gear stand point. Over half my gear is best in slot, and those pieces that aren't are very close. From a play stand point I do have some areas to work on. I'm still working on my rotation during busy fights like Sarth 3D, but I am getting better.
I have to say I think moonkins are the hardest caster class to play right now. I used to think it was Shadow Priest because of all the dots and cooldowns, and I can see how Affliction Locks have it tough having to manage 5 dots and Haunt. However, they have the advantage that all of their spells are predictable. They all have set durations and cooldowns and we know exactly when the are going to finish.
The though part about moonkins now is the unpredictability. Not knowing when eclipse is going to proc makes it tough to manage. On top of that to get the most out of Moonfire you have to cast Starfire 3 times with MF up. This causes me to let MF drop early and sometimes proc the wrong eclipse. All the while we have to watch for environmental hazards. I somewhat miss the days where all I had to manage was Moonfire and Starfire.
Back on track, there isn't much to do with him at the moment other then raid. My Sons of Hodir rep is now exalted. I still have work to do on some of the other reps but there isn't anything that I really need. The only thing I really need to do is work on the Icecrown quests to complete the phasing, but I have a hard time getting motivated for that right now.
He has been the man focus of my free wow time. He is how up to level 75 and going strong. Now that raiding is slowing down a little bit I have more time to play him. I hope to get him to 80 quickly so that I can start to raid him. Not much to say, but he is going well.
10 comments:
It's nice to see that someone shares my opinion of the difficulty that comes with trying to maximize balance druid dps. With only offensive spells, it's easy for other classes to poo-poo the challenges that we face. I'm not sure that we have the most difficult cycle overall but it's certainly more difficult than managing timers. Happily, it's more fun too

I'd really like for you to try my spell rotation on Patchwork since he is pretty much a "stand still and spank him down" boss.
Use your current rotation. Then try mine and compare the differences.
Mine is, Trees, Starfall(not fire), ISS, Wrath until ISS is up. Rinse and repeat until dead.
My last fight on him I pulled 4850 dps.
I do not use SF or MF during boss fights - ever!

what as your Wrath crit rate for the fight?

Agreed (again) -- it's one thing to stand in front of a training dummy and get that optimal rotation, and completely another when you're running around trying to stand outside of the fire (or goo or voids or whatever). My trouble is keeping my DoT's up.
I have a question on the starfire glyph. I read that some people start off w/ MF, then SFx3, then wrath to proc eclipse and continuing SF (w/ the eclipse buff). As I read the tooltip, it's not exactly necessary to 'front load' the increased duration to MF with SF. Is this right? Talented, MF lasts for 15 secs. If I cast SF @ 15 secs left, I'll add 3 additional seconds, up to a maximum of 9 seconds. If I cast SF @ 3 seconds left, I can still add those 9 'bonus' seconds, no? I suppose there's less room for error the longer you wait to extend MF.
I open with iFF (when applicable), iIS, MF, Wrath to proc eclipse then SF. When I'm lucky, I can get eclipse to proc and my first SF off with plenty of time to increase MF. Would it be better to front-load the addt'l 9 seconds on MF?
Hope this question makes sense and that I'm not going out of my way to confuse myself/others!
- January 29, 2009 at 10:52 AM
I'm right at 30% raid buffed.
Last night I did Patchwork on 10 man and then 25 man.
10 man I tried the recomended SF rotation and pulled just over 2400 dps.
25 man I did it my way and pulled just over 3000 dps.
I must have hit a string of crits when I topped 4800.
What I've noticed is; MF will bring down your dps average because the initial damage hit is lower than Wrath and SF. And if you have the MF glyph decreasing burst damage but increasing dot, your average dps drops even lower.
IIS doesn't affect dps average because it is a full dot with no burst. So, hitting with IS, Trees, Starfall, then wrath while those dots are ticking, boost average dps significantly.
It's just what I've noticed but I have not applied any scientific calculations to it. Just wondering if I'm imagining things.

I have a couple of things I want to say so I'm going to try and organize this a little bit.
1. You said on my Meta Gem post that your get 3 wraths for every one Starfire. Sorry but this is impossible. I looked at your armory and the most I could you could possibly get is 2.13 wrath's in one starfire and that is counting on back to back crits. Rememer NG and haste also affect Starfire.
2. Using an SF rotation last night I pulled just over 4800 DPS on Patchwerk. My Wrath Crit was a little high, but My Starfire crit was about average
3. You can't compare 10man DPS with 25man DPS. The buffs aren't the same. Plus this doesn't account for any RNG issues like lucky crits.
4. The only way MF will lower your DPS is if you clip the dot. Moonfire is the hightest Damage per cast time spell druids have, and the Glyph only makes it better.
5. I have no clue what your trying to say about IS.
I don't mean this to sound harsh but I beleive that your seeing what you want to see. Many people have done the math and tested the spells. The evidence points to Starfire having an advantage over Wrath.
That said, the gap between Starfire and Wrath is not as big as it was in BC. Wrath has improved significantly, and I do use it a little more often in movement heavy fights like Sarth 3D and Malygos. However you can get a little more out of SF most of the time.

I agree 100% about Eclipse being a pain. If it did not drop my dps so much I would spec out of it.
I think what drives me the most nuts about it. Even with big gear upgrades my dps can be less than it was the week before. In the same night I have done 5K dps on a moving fight then do 3.6K on Patchwork.
Doing Sarth 3D really gets to me when I can not say to myself "If I do everything right I will bring 4K dps on this fight." I never know what it will be.
Even using Squak and Awe I find myself casting Wrath way to long waiting for eclipse.
- January 30, 2009 at 5:54 PM
I want to start off by saying that I'm a big fan you blog. It is a joy to read and has been a tremendous help as I'm still learning the mechanics of being a full time Boomkin.
Anyway I'm curious has to what weapon you'd advise to use. I'm going after the Wraith Strike, but 'till I can get it to drop I'm currently sporting Ice Spire Scepter and Spire of Sunset. I'm leaning toward the Ice Spire, but cause its easier to stay hit capped because I can use Ward of the Violet Citadel with it, but in terms of pure DPS I'm just not sure which weapon I'll get the most out off.
- February 1, 2009 at 5:37 PM
- Cdin said...
What I'm starting to cast wrath really early to prevent wrath eclipses and if SF drops off oh well.
Literally, if I have 5 seconds left on the Eclipse cooldown I start casting wrath. I think this is helping me quite a bit.
I consider Wraith Strike to be the second best moonkin weapon currently in the game. Torch of Holy Fire is easily first, and Hammer of the Astrial Plane is a VERY close third. In fact, I almost consider the Hammer and Wraith Stike to be interchangeable.
As a general rule I prefer MH/OH combonations over Two handed weapons. So I would go with the Ice Spire Scepter assuming you have a decent off hand. MH/OH combos just provide more DPS stats then Staves.

If current trends continue, more than one in five American children will be obese in 2020, researchers reported.
An analysis of trends from 1971 to 2008 suggests that the average weight of children is likely to increase by nearly 2 kg by 2020 if nothing changes, according to Claire Wang, MD, ScD, of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City, and colleagues.
That would mean about 21% of those ages 2 to 19 would be obese, up from 16.9% at the end of 2008, Wang and colleagues reported online in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The researchers used data from successive waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, starting in 1971 and ending in 2008, to establish linear trends.
That analysis showed that the average body mass index among children 2 to 19 has risen by 0.55 kg/m2 every decade, while average body weight rose by 1.54 kg every 10 years, Wang and colleagues reported.
Extrapolating from these trends to 2020, the average weight among youth in 2020 would increase by about 1.8 kg from 2007 to 2008 levels.
After controlling for age, sex, and race/ethnicity, the researchers found that rates of obesity among children rose 3.6% every decade.
A separate analysis of the most recent period, from 1999 through 2008, found that the trend line has not flattened out, suggesting it makes sense to extrapolate to 2020.
Using that data, Wang and colleagues calculated what changes would be needed to hold the line at 2008 levels, or to reach the overall Healthy People 2010 and Healthy People 2020 goals of 5% or 14.6% obesity prevalence, respectively.
The Healthy People 2020 goals also included age-specifıc prevalence targets targets -- 9.6% among those 2 through 5, 15.7% among children 6 through 11, and 16.1% among adolescents 12 to 19.
Wang and colleagues calculated the "energy gap" -- the reductions in kcal/person/day -- that would be needed to reach the various targets.
They found:
- Just to stay at 2008 levels would require an average reduction of 41 kcal/person/day -- 17 for those in the lowest age group, 37 in the middle ages, and 67 for adolescents.
- To reach the Healthy People 2020 goals would require an extra cut of 23 kcal/person/day -- 5, 40, and 31 for kids 2 to five, 6 to 11, and 12 to 19, respectively.
- And to reach the more aggressive Healthy People 2010 goals would take an average reduction of 120 kcal/person/day -- 33, 149, and 177 for children 2 to 5, 6 to 11, and 12 to 19, respectively.
The changes in diet and physical activity needed to prevent any single child from becoming obese would vary depending on circumstances, the researchers noted.
The 64-kcal cut needed to reach the 2020 goals -- combining the 41 kcal required to stay at 2008 levels with the additional 23 kcal cut needed -- "may not sound like much individually, but it's quite a consequential number at the population level," Wang said in a statement.
"Children at greatest risk for obesity face an even larger barrier," she said, adding "closing this gap between how many calories young people are consuming and how many they are expending will take substantial, comprehensive efforts."
Among possible actions, the researchers suggested that replacing sugar-sweetened beverages in schools could reduce the energy gap by 12 kcal/day -- as long children didn't consume any extra sugary drinks outside school.
In addition, they argued, a comprehensive physical education program could cut eliminate 19 kcal/day among children 9 to 11 and after-school activity programs for children in kindergarten through fifth grade could cut an additional 25 kcal/day.
The study was supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the CDC. The journal said the authors made no financial disclosures.

$165 million will upgrade bridges, repair rough pavement,
and keep pavement in good condition from deteriorating
REDDING – Californians will be driving on smoother roads, safer bridges, and enjoying the benefits of enhanced transit thanks to $334 million in new funding allocated to 53 projects by the California Transportation Commission.
The allocations include approximately $165 million to repair bumpy pavement, preserve roads that are in good condition from worsening, and upgrade bridges to make them safer and stronger. Most of California's highways are more than a half-century old, and they carry nearly half of the nation's container freight – heavy loads that pound our highways more than any other state.
"To get the most bang for the buck for taxpayers, Caltrans targets dollars where they are most effective - pavement preservation," Dougherty said. "Every $1 spent on preventive pavement maintenance saves Californians $11 that would have been spent on future pavement repairs."
Currently, 84 percent, or 42,000 lane miles of California highways are in good operating condition. Caltrans' goal is to reach 90 percent by 2023, which is a challenge as funding is declining and highways are aging. In 2013, Caltrans repaired 76,808 potholes on the Golden State's 50,000 highway lane miles. This was down nearly 100,000 potholes from a few years prior due to Caltrans' repaving efforts.
The allocations also include $64 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, more than $17 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide for transportation purposes.
The remaining funding allocations came from assorted transportation accounts funded by state and federal dollars.
Some of the projects that received funding support include:
- Lassen County - $16.5 million was allocated for the Johnstonville Pavement Focus Rehab project. This project, in and near Johnstonville, from 0.4 miles south of Bangham Lane to 0.3 miles south of Wendel Rd., will allow for the rehabilitation of nearly 20 lane miles of pavement. U.S. Route 395 is a primary north/south route in the western U.S. heavily traveled by trucks with extra-legal permit loads. This project will utilize a longer life pavement strategy to prevent further deterioration of the road and prevent costly repairs.
- Plumas County - $1.5 million was allocated for the Plumas 70 Permanent Restoration project. This project, near Rich Bar, will stabilize the eroded slope near Rush Creek Road and allow for the placement of Rock Slope Protection. A new drainage system will also be installed.
- Siskiyou County - $1.1 million was allocated for the Automatic Slide Permanent Restoration Project near Happy Camp on State Route 96. This project was initiated following a 2012 slide. The project calls for the installation of a cable mesh drapery system. An existing buried culvert will also be restored slightly downstream to facilitate water removal.
Please see the attached file for more information about all projects that received allocations.
