When the Sonata was redesigned two years ago Edmunds gave the midsize sedan an "A" rating. In the years since, it has only become more versatile and refined.
There are no big changes to the Sonata for 2017, but some options have been shifted around and some features that were optional are now standard. What's best about the Sonata are all the talents it already carried: The cabin is among the roomiest and cushiest in its class, and the Sonata comes with a particularly generous portion of rear seat legroom. And that room doesn't come at the expense of a precisely controlled suspension, responsive steering and some genuine driving fun. Even when the Sonata is filled with passengers, it keeps its composure. And it's a good bet that those passengers will appreciate being able to stretch out.
Another advantage of the Sonata is value. Even the base Sonata comes comfortably equipped so that it feels like a real car and not a stark penalty box. Move up to the top-of-the-line Limited powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and the Sonata becomes a genuine midsize luxury car. It features leather upholstery, a big sunroof, upgraded wheels, and a full load of technology including blind-spot monitoring and an automatic braking system to keep an emergency from turning into a disaster. A brilliantly bright touchscreen for controlling the navigation and entertainment systems is a bonus.
A 10-year, 100,000 mile warranty on the powertrain comes standard.
Three powertrains are offered in the Sonata, not counting the gas-electric hybrid versions that are covered separately on Edmunds. Base Sonata SE and Sport models are powered by a non-turbocharged 2.4-liter four rated at 185 horsepower. Latched to the standard six-speed automatic transmission, that combination is EPA-rated at 29 mpg combined (25 city/36 highway).
A turbocharged 1.6-liter four cylinder with 178 horsepower accompanied by a seven-speed automatic transmission is now offered in the Eco model with a rating of 31 mpg combined (28 city/36 highway).
The most powerful engine is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder that boasts 245 horsepower. This comes paired to a six-speed automatic in Sport and Limited versions. That combination is rated at 26 mpg combined (22 city/31 highway).
The market is filled with attractive midsize sedans, and the Sonata is certainly a bright spot in this segment. Edmunds is here to help you pick the perfect car and get a great deal.

text: This is something I never heard of let alone experience on the court! Unreal! It's a group class for adults, with all kinds of people at the 3.0-3.5 level I suppose. I arrived early along with a couple other students, we were still waiting for the coach and the others to arrive. A teen (the only teen in the class, the rest are in their late 20's to about 40's) saw one of us started to warm up with some serves so he tried to follow. I stood on the other end of the court pretending to return. And the story begins... At that time a few more people arrived, along with the coach. There is bench by the side of the court and people are laying their bags down to get their gears out. Naturally if you are putting your bag down your back would be facing the court. The teen misfired a serve and hit a guy probably on his butt. It was a ball with some force but no way faster than 50mph had it landed on court. We all knew it was a mistake and somebody made a "UUHHH" "AAAAH" sound. This guy suddenly charge at me with a water bottle in his hand. I must say he acted normal in the past classes and we had no problem getting along. At first I thought he would come to me make a joke or something. He charged at me and threw the water bottle right at me at full force. I had little time to react and could only turn my body a little. The water bottle hit me on the side of my body. Just to say how hard he threw the bottle, the cap broke and water was spilled. Yes, it did hurt. Like somebody punched me. He then walked away and acted like nothing happened. I was furious and started to drop the f bomb on him. He then said he thought I was the one to hit with a ball on purpose. He gave a half hearted apology after he found out he made a mistake, but kept saying I needed to chill out and it was "only a water bottle". I immediately said I could call the cops on this. The coach, who I have known for a few years asked me not to escalate the situation and tried to end the matter. And he did let him stayed in the class. After a 10 min warm up the coach gathered the class again and ask the kid to apologize to the crazy guy, and the crazy guy in return gave me a more serious apology. Anyway, I thought the coach should really kick him out of the class right at that moment (he did the following week after I called him). Yes, I know it would make the coach look bad if cops showed up and made a big scene where everybody else would watch it like a TV show. I did not call the cops only because the coach keep begging me not to, but in hindsight I think it is better to just let the police handle the situation, and more importantly have him on the record. You never know these days. He could show up in the next class with a knife or something. If we have a arrest record we can easily call the cops again as soon as we see his face, just to scare him not to show up ever. I swear to god if he ever tries to charge at me again I would just swing my racket to defend myself. Hopefully he is out for good and doesn't try anything stupid like trying to come back to class or register for other future classes I am in.

More Splash Hits ends holdout for runs
Giants 4, Cardinals 1
WP: Lincecum (4-0)
Save: Wilson (3)
Record: 9-7, 2nd in NL West, 1 game behind San Diego.
More Splash Hits was getting so frustrated by the Giants inability to score runs that we decided, in a Ghandi-like move, to start a self-imposed strike of more blog posts until the Giants scored more than two runs in a game.
Well, it paid instant dividends as the Giants managed four runs in a win over the Cardinals, snapping a four-game losing streak.
And while it's great to get a win, the Giants' offensive woes and struggles with men in scoring posiition weren't exactly cured on Friday night.
They hit into two more double plays and really should have hit into three. But a custom-made double-play ball off the bat of Aubrey Huff was muffed by Cardinals second baseman Skip Schumaker, allowing a run to score.
In fact, all of the Giants' runs Friday were not the product of clutch hitting, but Cardinals fielding mishaps.
Andres Torres scored the first run when St. Louis shortstop Brendan Ryan committed an error. Then came Schumaker's error. The Giants' third run came when Nate Schierholtz beat out an infield single. That play was added when Cardinals pitcher Jaime Garcia did not cover first base quickly enough. And the final run scored on a wild pitch.
So there are still issues, but we'll take the gifts and the win. The Giants had been in short supply of breaks in the past week.
The end result was another win by Tim Lincecum and a save for Brian Wilson. Jon Miller said at the conclusion of Friday's game that Friday was Wilson's first save opportunity in 10 days. But he must have misread his calendar. It was Wilson's first save opp in 17 days. Wilson notched saves in the Giants' first two games of the season, but had none since, until Friday. That's because the Giants' wins either came in extra innings or by four runs or more.
The Giants look to hand the Cardinals their first series loss of the year when Barry Zito takes to the mound against Adam Wainwright at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Republic of Guinea flag Source: Wikipedia
DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Guinea's opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo said on Tuesday that he doesn't believe the country's legislative election can be held next week, citing flaws in the voter roll which he says will take too much time to fix.
His critical assessment contrasts sharply with that of the United Nations special envoy to the region, who mediated a six-hour-long session Monday between the country's warring opposition and ruling party, and who told reporters upon returning to Senegal that he remains confident the election will go ahead on Sept. 24.
"The date of the election is still Sept. 24," Said Djinnit said at his residence in the Senegalese capital. "As of today we are a few steps away from the election. Nothing permits me to say otherwise."
The U.N. has so far mediated 13 meetings between the two sides in an attempt to return the West African nation to constitutional rule. The country's last parliamentary elections were held in 2002, and were first rescheduled in 2007. The repeated delays have spanned three presidents and have left the nation without a functioning legislature.
At the Monday meeting, the National Independent Electoral Commission agreed to many of the demands of the opposition, including agreeing to publish and post the voter list in precincts across the nation, a process which Djinnit said will be completed by Thursday. He said the election body also agreed to split polling stations that had 1,000 or more registered voters into two or more voting bureaus, in order to reduce the waiting time.
But Diallo, who came in second in Guinea's presidential election three years ago, and who heads the largest opposition party, said it is not physically possible for the election commission to accomplish all the changes they had demanded in time for the vote to be held.
"No, it's not possible. I don't see how the CENI (the election commission) can take care of all the issues we have raised," said Diallo in a telephone interview Tuesday with The Associated Press. "When we had our meeting on Monday, the international community finally recognized that there are serious problems. … I don't think these mistakes can be corrected by the 24th. … the CENI doesn't have the capacity to do so. They are weak. And they are not working in good faith," he said.
Guinea, a nation rich in minerals, including the world's largest repository of bauxite, has been ruled by strongmen since its independence from France in 1958. The country's first democratic election in 2010 failed to bring stability, after the vote took on an ethnic dimension.
Since then, the country's capital has been repeatedly immobilized by violent protests pitting the opposition, primarily made up of people from the Peul ethnic group, against the country's mostly-Malinke security force, the same ethnicity as Guinea's president.
"We hope that these ethnic considerations are put aside during the campaign, and during the electoral process – and beyond. We wish – we hope – that Guinea will orient itself toward reconciliation and unity," said Djinnit. "Guinea must move forward."

Pittsfield man fleeing police crashes into Dewey Avenue house
PITTSFIELD - A man was arrested Friday afternoon after he crashed his vehicle into the front porch of a house while fleeing police, authorites said.
Omar Johnson, 33, faces charges of failure to yield to a police vehicle, driving on a suspended license and resisting arrest, Lt. Jeff Bradford said.
At about 3:35 p.m., Johnson failed to yield to a police car, Bradford said. During a subsequent chase, he failed to make the turn from Madison Avenue onto Dewey Avenue, crashing the dark-green Honda CR-V into the front porch of 257 Dewey Ave.
Johnson then fled on foot, Bradford said, and a chase ensued through the subdivision's backyards and eventually across the Housatonic River before being arrested.
The homeowner, Gary Brazee, was at a neighbor's house and heard the incident over a police scanner. His wife was home at the time, and she was OK. No injuries were reported.
A damage estimate was unavailable at the scene. Beams on the front porch looked as if they had been slanted by the impact of the vehicle. Part of the wrought-iron gate had been knocked clean off.
"That's a lot of damage," Brazee said, surveying the scene. "It almost makes me want to cry."
The vehicle was removed from the scene at around 4:15 p.m. A building inspector deemed the structure would be OK.

Softball, volleyball sign four players each
By Kevin Hill
Arkansas Tech Golden Suns head softball coach Gidget Pambianchi and head volleyball coach Kristy Bayer have announced the signing of your recruits to national letters of intent during the fall signing period for the 2011-12 school year.
Pambianchi, whose Golden Suns softball team has compiled a 105-64 record in the past three seasons and are coming off back-to-back Gulf South Conference Western Division championships, signed Victoria Huie, Jessi Black, Siarra Gomez and Sadie Reed to begin playing for Tech in the 2012 season.
"I'm excited about the four players that we are bringing in. I think they will be positive additions to our program," Pambianchi said. "We have a lot of great seniors leaving at the end of this year that will be hard to replace, but I think we did a great job of bringing in girls with good speed and power."
Huie is a pitcher from Pottsville High School where she's won several accolades both athletically and academically with the Lady Apaches. Huie is a three-time all-conference selection and earned Arkansas All-State honors as both a sophomore and junior, and won the Best Bat Award as a junior. While attending the Texas Longhorn Pitching Camp this past summer, Huie was given the Sweetest Knuckle Ball Award. She is a strong student who is a four-year member of the Honor Roll and is a member of the BETA Club and FCCLA. She plays basketball at PHS, where she was named the Lady Apaches most improved player as a sophomore.
Black plays second base and is a native of Mesquite, Texas, where she played at Poteet High School. Black has won several awards throughout her high school career at PHS, including being named a TSWA (Texas Sports Writers Association) second-team All-State selection as a junior in 2010. She is known for her effort and hard work as she won three Team Hustle Awards and was named the school's softball MVP as a junior.
Gomez plays first base and is a four year letterman at Keller Central High School in Keller, Texas. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Gomez has been honored as a three-time academic all-District selection, a two-time all-District honoree, including first-team honoree as a junior. As a junior, Gomez led the Chargers to their first playoff game in school history as she notched a .467 batting average, a .660 slugging percentage and had 42 RBI's and only six strikeouts, while going to the plate more than 70 times. In her high school career, Gomez has hit 22 home runs.
Reed is a native of Bartlesville, Okla., who comes to the Golden Suns playing both second base and the outfield. Reed played shortstop at Bartlesville High School and has been recognized for her academic achievements, including being named the 2008-09 Masonic Student of the Year, a 2010-11 academic all-state and earned Academic Excellence Awards in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Bayer, whose Golden Suns volleyball team are coming off a 31-5 season in which they won the GSC West and advanced to the GSC Tournament semifinals for the first time in eight years, signed Taylor Brown, Katie Maguire, Sierra Nighswonger and Kaitlyn White during the fall signing period for the 2011 season.
"This is a great group of girls that brings both athletic and academic strengths to our team," Bayer said about her 2011 recruiting class. "Their personalities will be a great addition to our team."
Brown, a 5-foot-6 libero, is a native of Willow Park, Texas, where she was a strong defensive specialist for Aledo High School and the 900 Volleyball Club. In her senior season at AHS, Brown helped lead the Bearcats to a district, area and regional quarterfinal championship. In addition, AHS won a district title in 2009.
Maguire, a 5-foot-3 libero, is a native of Colorado Springs, Colo., and was a four-year letterwinner and starter at Colorado Springs Christian High School. While at CSCS, Maguire helped lead the Lions to four consecutive League, district and region titles, along with being a part of three Colorado Class 3A state championship teams.
Nighswonger, a 5-foot-8 setter, comes from Council Bluffs, Iowa, where she led the entire state of Iowa in assists as a senior at Abraham Lincoln High School. Nighswonger has been a member of several all-tournament teams and was a two-time first-team all-Missouri River Conference selection and a Class 4A special mention all-State honoree. Additionally, she was the Council Bluffs Nonpareil player of the year, a Southwest Iowa All Star Team selection and academic all-conference honoree, and was a three-time all-city selection.
White, a 6-foot outside hitter, is a native of Hideaway, Texas, and played at Lindale High School. While at LHS, White helped lead the Eagles to co-District and Bi-District titles. In 2008, she was named newcomer of the year and in 2009 she earned the co-outstanding blocker of the year award. She also served as a team co-captain and was named an all-District 14-3A selection this past season. Along with playing volleyball at LHS, White was also a member of the school's golf team and was an individual district medalist and qualified for regionals. She played club volleyball for ACE Smack/East Texas Juniors and served as the team's captain.

It is hard to have patience with people who say "There is no death" or "Death doesn't matter." There is death. And whatever is matters. And whatever happens has consequences, and it and they are irrevocable and irreversible. You might as well say that birth doesn't matter.
C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
At the time I was kind of distraught [over Fantagraphics canceling my first comic series Lloyd Llewellen]. But then I sort of retooled and started up again with the attitude of 'Well, I'm not going to try to please anybody except for myself. I'll just do what I feel like, and if it comes out good, then I'll at least be happy that I did something I like.'
Dan Clowes (1961 - )
Dave founded The Toronto Comic Jam in
November 1996 as a safe haven for the alternative comics community --
a place where artists could meet, exchange ideas, and find moral support,
using comics as a basis for social interaction. Inspired by Rupert Bottenberg's
comic jams in Montreal, regularly-held monthly comic jams in Toronto
have helped to build a sense of community and local history. About 50 people show up each month to draw comics together in a local artbar
(The Cameron)
in downtown Toronto. The work
is collected in a zine available for free the following month, thanks to the suport of NELVANA. Check
out the Monthly
Montreal Comix Jam as well.
Dave retired from the jam in Nov 2005 which is today co-ordinated by Dalton Sharp
Don't Touch Me Independent Comics
Dave began Don't Touch Me Comics in 1994 as an alt comics anthology where artists could show their work, and included a long interview with a professional. He published 7 issues sporadially until 2002, when local artist and teacher Dave Lapp offered to team up editorially and finanacially to help keep it going. They dropped the interview and have been able to publish regularly, every 4 months with high production values, continuing to give artists the space they need to grow.

Speaking to several publications at the 2013 DICE Summit in Las Vegas, OUYA CEO Julie Uhrman has revealed the company intends to release upgraded models of the freedom-friendly games console each year, taking a leaf out of the tablet and smartphone model, rather than follow the traditional seven to ten year console lifecycle (via Engadget):
"There will be a new OUYA every year. There will be an OUYA 2 and an OUYA 3," she added. One potentially featuring the recently revealed Tegra 4, perhaps, rather than the Tegra 3 powering the first units? It sure sounds like it. "We'll take advantage of faster, better processors, take advantage of prices falling. So if we can get more than 8GB of Flash in our box, we will," she explained.Their plan is also to reportedly stick to the budget price point of US$99 (via The Verge):
"Our plan is to have a yearly refresh of Ouya where we leverage the best-performing chips and take advantage of falling component prices to create the best experience we can at the $99 price point," Uhrman tells us.As for how the platform intends to cope with the deluge of crappy games that will undoubtedly occur on such an open platform, The Verge report also includes new details on the proposed curation process for featured apps on the OUYA's storefront:
How might you find good games in the heap, assuming the Ouya takes off? Uhrman had an interesting response: she wants to curate the Ouya app store based on engagement metrics rather than sales data. "We don't believe it's the number of downloads, or the amount of money spent. It's how many times you play a game in a given period of time, and how quickly you start playing a game. When you boot up Ouya, how many times is it the first game you play? How many friends do you tell about a particular game? These are indicators that you really love a game," Uhrman tells us. Assuming Ouya can easily measure those things, it can use them to rank games.OUYA consoles begin shipping to backers of the console's Kickstarter project in March 2013, with several major retailers now set to stock their shelves with the device in June.
Hmm, not a fan of how often it will be upgraded.
This would surly lead to confusion when looking at available games. Does it work on Ouya 1, 2 or 3? Well it says it works on Ouya 1 but in reality people think it runs crappy and you shouldn't bother. Why bother buying an Ouya 1 when Ouya 2 is out in 3 months time?
Yeah agreed sounds like a bit of a superficial money grab, with devs now having to optimize for numerous specs. Maybe every two years with all games backward compatible with the previous gen.
Having said that, Apple ain't exactly struggling with a similar strategy at a much higher price point ie. iPhone lol
i think this is actually a bigger gimmick that the wii
What Samatt said, people upgrade their phones 1-2 years for far more money, why would this be so big an issue for $99... not to mention it'll mean that the technology stays far closer to current generation stuff then say traditional consoles where with each cycle seem to be lasting even longer before the next generation stuff/refresh hits.
As far as graphics go with regards to 'will it work on Ouya 1, 2 or 3' couldn't they simply have the graphics settings apply to the Ouya it is running off automatically? So it'll just mean if you want the game to look its true potential, you get the latest Ouya otherwise it is still happily playable on the earlier generation stuff with lower detail.
Overall I'm actually quite keen on the idea. Could take off. Could flop... but it's still great to see businesses these days still stepping out of the same tired old business models.
when you guys say 'upgrade' you mean throw it in the bin and buy a new one, right?
Throw it to your friends/family as a media player if they don't already have one. After that I dunno, give it to a homeless guy as a taunt?
They could offer a 20 buck rebate or something if you send it back to them, which they can recycle for 'green points'...?
After 3 years you have 2 unused machines collecting dust and being used as a door stop. It seems very wasteful. Maybe if they make it modular you can buy an upgrade kit or something.
The only thing i could see being good about an Ouya is possibly building them into tvs really cheap (even then i wouldnt care), other than that i can not see the point.
I can see they'd do this to try and stay relevant. Given how fast the mobile chipset market is moving, if they leave their release cycle too long, chances are you'll get another kickstarter come along and claim to be x amount more powerful than the Ouya at the same price point.
Personally I reckon with future Ouya releases, it should be backwards compatible with the hand controllers and they should offer the base console cheaper for people that already have an Ouya and don't want or need to buy more controllers.
The only thing i could see being good about an Ouya is possibly building them into tvs really cheap (even then i wouldnt care), other than that i can not see the point.
At this point it does what my PS3 does but better, stream media.
Frankly, the fact it can also play games is a gimmik but it still means its better than every console to me.
Besides, because i've already bought the games for my phone, the ouya basically is just somewhere else I can play them.
Excuse me my bad english. If the developer give us a true open plataform, where we can install any operating system like Debian, the 1 year lifetime of console will be good enough.
With a open plataform, we can use the "old" hardware for other tasks, like movie center (XBMC like), NAS, torrent or maybe make a true smart tv.
That is all I wish. And a sata / usb3 connector.
They could offer a 20 buck rebate or something if you send it back to them, which they can recycle for 'green points'...?
I think this. Or atleast a 10 dollars off for being a previous gen ouya owner. I mainly wanting the ouya for xbmc and emulators. Tbh this could be a nice cheap htpc if this has a good modding scene.

So.. why would you ever upgrade if you are only doing xmbc and emulators? It's not like their demand on processing goes up every year.. if it works last year, it works this, and next year.
Dear Leo,
I believe like most android based things, you can install ubuntu on it. Well, maybe not from day1 but they're releasing it unlocked so that the community like on your android phone or android tablet, can install ubuntu/linux. Plenty enough for xmbcbuntu or whatever else you like.
They've opened the console hardware to whatever you want to hack onto it. It's open, not pre-developed. They haven't gone and (developed and aren't supporting) multi-OS, it's open for you to choose and make it work for you. I don't think it'll work that well as NAS. It would read a NAS fine, but fitting in many HDD's into it's tiny form factor just doesn't make sense, you'd need to hack a controller card to get sata and boost it's power to give a 12v rail to power the.. anyway, physically it'd make a s***** nas.
So.. why would you ever upgrade if you are only doing xmbc and emulators? It's not like their demand on processing goes up every year.. if it works last year, it works this, and next yearWhat about emulation of newer hardware? PS1/N64 is probably the limit for the current OUYA model, but future models might be able to handle Dreamcast, PS2, and GameCube emulation at full speed. There's plenty of arcade machines that can't currently be emulated at full speed as well.
i think this is actually a bigger gimmick that the wii
not sure that 100 million conslols is a gimmick bro.
When 90 million of those are put away in cupboards after 2 months, it's a gimmick
But you keep at it bro

I can tell you now that current ps2 emulation requires about 3+ghz per core and 2-3 cores of processing power to run things well enough. You're talking about replacing it as often as you would a new console with a nextgen console, because emulators aren't catching up, but rather staying at the same speed as consoles in development. So if you bought the appropriate one to run up to PS1 stuff correctly, then you'd still be waiting 3-5 years before getting one for PS2. Then i mean, getting to PS3 specs i wouldn't hold your breath for something this decade hey. I mean sure if you want "Oh this game will go from 13fps to 24fps with a intermittent upgrade" then be my guest but then you can't really complain about the release cycle.
Not to mention, that the 'can't be run at full speed' is almost always proof that it's a software issue not a hardware issue. They don't understand enough about one function they're emulating so they have a whole bunch of wasted processing on really average code. Hence why one game can run flawlessly and another can run poorly, because they call different functions, some well understood and emulated efficiently, others not even close to understood and even my beastly 4.5ghz quad can't emulate them at full speed when another more graphically intense game might run on a laptop 2ghz dualcore at 50fps solid. Either way a doubling of processing power often won't net you double FPS so a hardware upgrade often becomes meaningless unless there's a big power jump, not to mention, the way that android stuff like ouya is going, they're looking at ARM stuff, which goes low power per core and high number of cores.. which usually is terrible for console emulation which need more often than not, one big core.
Not that i've been around the console scene much, but helping some PCSX2 dev's with playtesting alpha builds on certain games have given me insight into the whole thing.

The Outsider Test in Action: "Studying Islam Has Made Me An Atheist" by Douglas Murray
Gradually, scepticism of the claims made by one religion was joined by scepticism of all such claims. Incredulity that anybody thought an archangel dictated a book to Mohammed produced a strange contradiction. I found myself still clinging to belief in Christianity. I was trying to believe — though rarely arguing — 'Well, your guy didn't hear voices: but I know a man who did.' This last, shortest and sharpest, phase pulled down the whole thing. In the end Mohammed made me an atheist.
...the idea that there is any book 'wherein is no doubt' is insulting as well demonstrably untrue.HT Agnosis.

I grabbed this on sale and consider it well worth the sale price. Clippings has a nice vintage feel to it without going too hipster, and there's a nice contrast between the colors and patterns. Unlike a lot of 6x6 books, this one doesn't have many dud pages. But it's Basic Grey, so be warned, it's not double-sided.

Im shocked that we haven't had half of Asia sign up here yet...When we got Gallo this place was looking like jersey shore
I've loved watching this linning streak and think hes the real deal but watching the game I noticed him playing alot better with Amare on the bench and my other concern is when Melo gets back and if the chemistry will mess up even more with the ball out of his hands. My input I would have Amare come off the bench until maybe the playoffs and they have gained better chemistry, given that his knees aint getting any better i think this would be a great move...........
Jephon Linbury does it again!

DeWayne Walker signed a contract extension in December that could keep him at New Mexico State through 2016.
But Walker is 9-29 in three seasons as Aggies' football coach. He has all of four victories in 23 WAC games. And, oh, yeah, his program might be headed out of the FBS ranks within a year or two.
To say it's unlikely Walker will be in Las Cruces through the end of his contract isn't at all unreasonable.
Like Idaho's Robb Akey, the 51-year-old Walker, who was UCLA's defensive coordinator from 2006-08, finds his career in jeopardy.
Oh, he can get a job coaching defense somewhere if he needs to; Walker has friends all over the NFL from his years with the Redskins, Giants and Patriots. But New Mexico State is the 11th stop of his career—and his first time behind the head coach's desk.
And he's yet to prove he has the goods to coach a winner.
Walker told Sporting News this week that the Aggies, who improved slightly to 4-9 (2-5 WAC) in 2011, can be a winning team this fall.
"I'm excited about this team," he said. "This is year four, the year I've been kind of waiting on. … When you look at where we were three years ago, year four was always the year in my mind when we wanted to try to make a run and turn the corner."
No matter how encouraging the coming season looks on the field, its end is widely expected to drop the curtain on WAC football. Can Walker really keep his players, coaching staff and fan base focused on football and in a positive frame of mind?
"This is a good life experience," he said. "This is good for my players and coaches and myself to really practice on being focused on trying to take care of things that are staring you in the face."
Walker isn't thinking long term when it comes to his position at New Mexico State, either. He is taking a page from the philosophical playbook of coaching giant Bill Belichick.
"He told me years ago that when coaches are confident enough to work off one-year contracts and they're successful, they're always able to make more money," Walker said. "He has always worked off one-year contracts because of the confidence level he has in himself. I kind of equate that to I'm on a one-year contract. That's kind of my approach."
Walker spent some time recently in Pittsburgh, where close friend Kirby Wilson is an assistant coach with the Steelers. The great Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau gave Walker a simple yet inspiring piece of advice:
"As long as they allow you to play, go play."
Short of leaving Las Cruces in his rearview mirror, it's all Walker can do right now.

I happened to read this right after reading a passage from Longechenpa's commentary on the Precious Treasury of the Basic Space of Phenomeon, (Richard Baron, LCN's translation) where Longchenpa is quoting the "Great Garuda" and says: (pp 50 of the 2001 Padma Publishing text)The relationship between dharmadhatu, dharmakaya and dharmadhatu wisdom is like the relationship between a place, a person and the person's mind. If there is no place, there is no environment for the person to exist in; and there is no person unless that person also has a mind dwelling in the body. In the same way, the main field or realm called dharmadhatu has the nature of dharmakaya. Dharmakaya has the quality of dharmadhatu wisdom, which is like the mind aspect."
1) Is this apparent contradiction just a translation issue - one of the hazzards of not understanding Tibetan while still trying to understand the Great Perfection teachings based primarily on texts that have been rendered in English, a language that is, by all accounts, simply not a good interface w/ Tibetan?Just as a flower has no place to grow in the sky, having no support, the mind is not localized in the body, so there is no possible support for habitual patterns
2) If it's not a translation issue, then why the contradiction?
So, to echo the question posed (for the first time ever) by the Pixies: "Where *is* my mind?"

By far the most awful tires I have ever owned. Barely 18,000 miles and I have serious cracking in the sidewalls on all four tires. Pirelli will not honor the warranty citing the cracking was likely excessive curb rash. Absolute garbage, as I hardly ever park anywhere there are curbs in my usual driving places.

I don't understand why some post negative reviews because I find these to be a good all around tire. Driven to Florida and back from Toronto and found these tires to be quiet and good at handling. Driving through the Virginia mountains with all it's S curves was fun and I had no problem and felt confident taking them in curves at 140 km/h and at times even higher speeds. In snow and icy conditions, I always am careful and adjust my speed accordingly so again no problems. PS. I gave these tires perhaps an unfair low snow rating because comparing them to my Winter Bridgestone Blizzaks, they are not as good.

I'm running 245/40-18 on my 02 Maxima and I get an avg. Of 28 mpg on these, they don't hold well under fwd power load, meaning they spin easily but they are ELRR tires! They are soft compound tires and very quiet and comfortable. Not the best for PA mountain cornering but for the sunshine state FL, they are perfect as went don't have mountains or pot holes here. But everything is miles away. I bought a used set of 2 for $80 and made 16k miles on them but my control arm bushing failed and ate one tire badly. They don't make much noise when you spin them, but leave nice tread makes. If they were $40 cheaper, I'd buy a set of 4!

First Standardized Global Land Cover Map Released
The first map of detailed information on worldwide land cover collected using uniform international standards, the Global Land Cover-SHARE database, was released in March by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Experts say it will help to improve research into natural resources and monitor global environmental changes.
"It is more precise and accurate than any other available product," John Latham, who directs the project at the FAO, tells SciDev.Net. It is the first land cover database compliant with ISO standards on definitions and procedures related to land cover classification.
The number of people around the world using land cover information is increasing at an unprecedented rate, he says.
But determining whether an area is covered by crops or trees, shrubs or bare soil, often involves interpreting satellite images and other data, Latham adds. And different organisations and countries process and record this information using different criteria, so it was previously difficult to compare information from the many available databases, he says.
"We took the best available national and international data sets, built with high-resolution images, and we fused them in a global database with a resolution of approximately one square kilometer," he says.
His team then classified land cover using 11 categories according to the Land Cover Classification System, an international set of standard definitions and procedures developed by the FAO and the UN Environment Programme.
The database divides the earth's surface into units of one square kilometre, which the researchers call 'points', and describes the percentage of these taken up by various types of covering, such as water, grassland or artificial surfaces.
The database was quality controlled by checking it with the actual land cover on the ground at 1,000 randomly chosen sites.
"The proportion of correctly classified points is 80 per cent, a big improvement over previous databases. It should improve with future updates, planned every two years, or more frequently for important areas in rapid change," Latham says.
The database can be used to assess natural resources, global water data, desertification, deforestation or food security studies, says Latham. For example, it has been incorporated into the FAO's Global Agro-Ecological Zones portal, a database of agricultural resources and crop yields and their projections under different climate scenarios.

Unbelievable. Two weeks of hype, billions of dollars - and this. Un-freakin-believable
I wonder how many viewers they just lost with this delay...assuming there are still casual viewers left that didn't bail when Jones ran it back
Even if the 49ers win this the Ravens can claim loss of momentum. This is a no good for the biggest event in football.
Positively killed the flow of the game! Never seen anything like this before even in the regular season.
The last time we saw a game's rhythm get killed this badly was when we sent Tebow in to run the wildcat.

have they investigated whether Belichick is in New Orleans at this exact moment

Ancient Forests of Nunavut May Return within a Century
The far northern province of Canada known as Nunavut (pronounced none-of-it) is currently a largely barren land. The tundra extends as far as the eye can see, and is covered with ice and snow the further north one goes. The immense territory stretches from Hudson Bay in the south, comprising most of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. It has a relatively small population of about 32,000, mostly Inuit, spread thinly across an area the size of Western Europe. The province of Nunavut is undergoing significant climate changes, faster than most parts of the world. As temperatures rise, the ancient ecosystem of 2.5 million years ago will return, ushering back hardy trees and new life to this desolate land.
According to a study from Alexandre Guertin-Pasquier of the University of Montreal's Department of Geography, Nunavut's ancient forests may return by the year 2100.
"According to the data model, climate conditions on Bylot Island will be able to support the kinds of trees we find in the fossilized forest that currently exist there, such as willow, pine and spruce. I've also found evidence of a possible growth of oak and hickory near the study site during this period.," Guertin-Pasquier said. "Although it would of course take time for a whole forest to regrow, the findings show that our grandchildren should be able to plant a tree and watch it grow."
Bylot Island lies off the northern end of Baffin Island. Baffin Island is the largest island of the Canadian Archipelago. Bylot ranks as the 71st largest island in the world, and 17th largest in Canada. The island has no permanent settlements, making it one of the largest uninhabited island in the world.
The fossilized forest on Bylot Island is 2.6-3 million years old. The age was determined from the presence of extinct species and from paleomagnetic analysis. This type of analysis involves examining how the Earth's magnetic field has affected the magnetic sediment in rocks.
Fossilized wood samples have been preserved over the many years in the permafrost and peat. Pollen was found by Guertin-Pasquier, which indicates that the annual average was up to 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) at one point. The current average temperature on Bylot Island is only 5 degrees F (-15 degrees C).
The remoteness of the island and fossilized forest means that there is very limited opportunity to explore them and unlock their mystery. The cold and sustained winds up to 80 km/h make researching in the area extremely difficult.
"There is so much mystery that surrounds this forest – for example, how these trees managed to survive the relentless dark of the Arctic winter," he said, adding that the next steps for this line of research could include looking more closely at other plant remains in order to get a better understanding of what the local flora was.
This study is being presented at the 22nd Canadian Paleontology Conference in Toronto.

Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
^ But that 'eating up' of its own continuity is really what sets DS9 apart. What am I supposed to care about the Breen-Jem'Hadar alliance in the Chin'Toka system? And people wonder why the show is considered inaccessible.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
How does Darmok even count as a "tribute" episode? Sure it was living up to tha standards of the best of Trek (and brilliantly so, IMHO), but that's what the writers tried to make TNG be most of the time anyway. There's certainly no indication that Darmok was intended as anything other than a regular episode of the show, unlike T&T, which was a heavily-hyped "event" episode.
Referring to comments by patlandness:
Well, for me, there's a huge difference. "Trials" is a fun episode whose basic premise is silly in that it's really meant for the fans. As such, contrivances don't really matter as long as the show hits the right tone and the right spirit which IMHO it does. The episode itself doesn't want to be taken seriously.
"Darmok", on the other hand, wants to be taken seriously. And that, IMHO, is why contrivances such as the ones I mentioned do matter. The more seriously a show takes it itself and wants you to take it, the more it needs to get certain just about everything right.
Episodes that deal with more serious subject matters will be scrutinized a lot more than pure fun episodes that clearly wink an eye at you and say: "This is for fun!". IMHO "Darmok" just doesn't hold up to the higher standards. Personally, I simply have a hard time taking it very seriously. I'd also add, as mentioned above, that I don't find it particularly deep in its message.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
I've always said that "Darmok" was a far more appropriate 25th Anniversary tribute to Trek and the Great Bird than the lackluster "Unification". I stand by it.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
"Trials" is fun and airy, but "Darmok" is one of the classic Trek episodes.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
"Darmok". The kind of high concept, thoughtful stuff that epitomises Trek at its best.
For mine, "Trials and Tribble-ations" is a marvellous technical achievement but very little more than that.
patlandness, I'm a little confused:
Which one is it, then?
You've got a point. I'm a little torn on "T&T". I stand by that "T&T" is a terrific episode and I've watched it tons of times and relished it.
But there's a point to made that it has *now* left a legacy of Trek nostalgia replacing quality Trek storytelling a'la Star Trek XI.
It's a terrific episode that is the symptom of a very bad problem for Contemporary Trek--looking backward rather than forward.
If the question is what episode is better Trek then i'll vote Darmok.
Darmok is one of the best episodes that shows the Star Trek principles and if i'd have to chose a single episode to show somebody what Trek is about i'd place Darmok very high on that list.
Trials is "just" a fun romp.. a tribute to TOS which started it all. It's for the initiated fans much like most of Enterprise's 4th season was. It was a very good episode but you could only really appreciate it fully if you are already a Star Trek fan and know the background a bit.
As has been said.. the comparison is somewhat off. Apples and Oranges.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
So, essentially, you're complaining that "Trials" is inconsequential whilst also complaining about the fact that DS9 puts a premium on continuity i.e. is all about consequences and getting to the deeper meaning of ongoing stories and the characters? Isn't that a little inconsequent?
Ok, I see what you mean. However, I'm not sure how "Trials" is a symptom of this problem I also see. It's a total one out as far as DS9 is concerned. If anything, I think DS9 was very much about moving forward, pushing the boundaries and NOT resting on Trek's existing laurels.
At the same time, that doesn't mean throwing everything that was out of the window and ignoring the past. "Trials" is an acknowledgement of where it and Trek as a whole comes from - TOS. It's a statement to the fact that both the makers of DS9 and many, many fans of the show are also fans of the Original.
I'd agree with your assessment had DS9 started yanking out all sorts of reverential TOS or TNG references but it simply didn't. It continued on its path and told its stories. Granted, it did so within an existing universe that it helped flesh out further.
Personally, I've come to the point a long time ago where I don't see Trek as a whole anymore. There's DS9 and then there's shows such as VOY or ENT as well as some really bad movies of recent.
So, leaving DS9 out, I actually agree with you. IMHO VOY did nothing to add anything new to the formula. It was in my opinion a pretty bad rehash of what TNG was. I also think ENT had nothing new to offer. The only time it tried to stand on its own two feet in my view was in season 3 when it took a somewhat more daring approach although it was still a weak effort compared to other shows out there. Season 1 and 2 IMHO were a rehash of VOY. I won't comment on S4 since I haven't actually seen it (it doesn't matter to my view of the show as a whole since I'd long since lost any interest in the characters).
Interestingly, I'm not all that concerned about Trek 11. I don't see the movies getting any worse than 9 or 10 (granted, you never know...). I do hope, however, that the creators will take the liberties they need to create something new on the basis of the basic TOS characters. Let them reinvent it and turn it into something fresh and interesting that will get people interested again.
That's what I really hope for at this point.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
No, considering I wasn't talking about the consequences in a fictional universe.
You're making the same mistake the writers of DS9, VOY and ENT made time and time again. Their idea of writing an involving, engaging episode was to 'up the stakes'. Put not just the crew at risk, but the Federation. Or Humanity. Or the Entire Alpha Quadrant. Everything after TNG was very much subject to Maguffin inflation.
The dreaded "form no longer valid" "feature" ate my reply, and Konqueror won't spit it back up. In brief:
1. Darmok isn't a tribute to anything. It's not a tribute to TNG, because reflexive tributes are tacky, and it's not a tribute to the TOS films, because it has little in common with them. It's not a tribute to TOS because it wasn't intended as such and has none of the hallmarks of a tribute episode. Just being similar to something does not make it a tribute.
2. You refer several times to what Trek XI will be, or will do. Have you read the script? I'd better go over to the T11 forum to see if it's been leaked.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
Oh, I see it. I just think Trek is so played out that all it can offer, at this point, is dessert.
Besides, the cultural divide in "Darmok" just wasn't that deep and the mechanism for bridging it (lets fight te invisble slapce monster) was sorta goofy. It's Trek 101 or even Remedial Trek when we--as fans and as a society debating gay rights, abortion rights and the subtler forms of racism--are more than ready for Special Topics in Trek Theory.
T&T wasn't that, of course, but it was a fun little puzzle of a romp which showed us that one spin-off, at least, didn't think of TOS as its embarassing ancestor to be seldom spoke of.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
Oh come on. Just because the TNG characters didn't fall all over themselves at the very mention of James T. Kirk, doesn't mean they weren't respectful of TOS. Read the "Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion".
...And Trek is played out? But comic characters like "Superman" and "Batman" are still hot properties for well over 60 years? Why is that?
And what's wrong with a little bit of goofiness if it makes for a good episode? My God, I never get tired of hearing the reverence for TOS's goofiness as endearing and timeless, but TNG's goofiness as being cringe-worthy.
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
Then I'm not quite sure what you mean. What consequences outside the fictional universe are you referring to?
I'd say you're making a mistake by lumping those three together but I digress.
TOS, the TOS movies as well as TNG often featured all-out threats at the very least to the Federation if not humanity and the known universe. The difference compared to DS9 (not talking about VOY or ENT here) is they'd introduce them in one episode and usually resolve them in that same episode.
For me, that made a lot of those threats seem, well, less threatening and "real" and essentially rather inconsequential.
1. I consider "Darmok" a tribute to Trek IN GENERAL. The underlying philosophy of "seeking out new life and new civilizations". Maybe it's not OFFICIALLY a tribute of dare-I-say "valentine to the fans", but it would fit the bill nicely if it was.
2. I don't need to need to "taste it first before I make up my mind" if someone stirs manure into a glass of milk for me. Odds are I'm not going to like the outcome. From what I've seen so far Star Trek XI is going to be little more than a masturbatory fanboy movie just like season 4 of Enterprise and just as empty and pointless. There's no underlying vision to Trek anymore. If there were they wouldn't bother with prequels.
"T&T" is the better tribute, but "Darmok" is the better episode. I guess I don't know which way to vote.
If you look at most of the other Season 5 episodes of DS9, then you will see that they are not "dessert." They tell human stories about politics, religion, crime, war, regret, and plenty of other topics. DS9 is just as much in the spirit of the original series as "Darmok."
As has been said before, these episodes were attempting to do vastly different things. A much better comparison would be "Unification" and "Trials and Tribble-ations."
Re: "Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek trib
I don't want this to be TOS vs TNG pissing contest any more than you want it to be a TNG vs DS9 one. I'm not saying "Darmok" was a bad episode--it's certainly one of TNG's better outings, though not a personal favorite. And I'm not saying goofiness doesn't have its place in Trek--you can't get much goofier than T&T. (TNG fans do tend to dump on TOS for goofiness when TNG gave us the K'leavage Sisters--that bugs me...) I'm just saying that "Darmok's" shoulders aren't quite as broad as some people would like them to be. I think many of its fans ascribe a greater heaviness to it than it can carry.
In a way, it reminds of what happens in the TOS forum when, say, "Balance of Terror" licks "City on the Edge..." for top honors in a poll: people are upset the "deeper" episode did not win. But the episode that did win has its merits and is more fun. What are you gonna do? (I vote BoT, btw.)
As for DS9: it had more than its share of heavy episodes, episodes which delved deep into issues of morality, understanding and accomodation. It also had this frothy gem which I enjoy far more than the somewhat infated and nonsensical "Darmok." You asked, I answered.
And as for Trek being played out: Trek is not a comic book. As much as I like comics, they can repeat themselves ad infinitum and they can chug along (though today's subliterate youth has little use for them). The movies and tv shows tend to re-embroider the same few themes and stories whenever the archetype has had a long enough rest. I expect more of Trek. To me, Trek should be more like other great tv dramas: once they tell their stories, it is best they go away before lousy stories begin to drive out the good. It happened with ER which, once upon a time, was actually worth watching. The Sopranos, which I adore above all else, including TOS, flirted with it but pulled out gracefully. Thanks to VOY, ENT and 3 out of 4 TNG movies, it has long since happened with Trek (4 out 6 TOS movies weren't so great, either...).
Oh, I have little hope that Trek XI will be any good, myself. Seems we agree on something.

The Holidays are finally here, so I suspect that many of you will be doing a lot of entertaining at home. Part of being a great host is creating a festive and inviting environment. Table setting preparation is key, so to help you out I have created a couple of easy DIY placemats that will look great on your holiday table. Not only are these projects quick and easy they can also be done pretty inexpensively. I purchased these mats for under a couple of dollars and if you are handy with a sewing machine you can create your own from some colorful fabrics purchased at your local fabric store.
Sewing is not necessary for these projects. I used my glue gun to attach all the trims listed above. M&J Trimming has a wide variety of trims to choose from, so be creative. We'd love to hear about any of the looks that you've designed.
Happy DIY

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UT Release) - Tennessee rising junior outfielder infielder Christin Stewart has accepted an invitation to participate in the 2014 Collegiate National Team training camp, USA Baseball announced on Thursday.
The Lawrenceville, Ga., native becomes the 21st Tennessee player to be a part of the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. Former teammates Will Maddox and Zack Godley were both part in the Team USA camp in each of the last two seasons with Godley earning a spot as an alternate in 2012. UT head coach Dave Serrano served as the head coach of this team two seasons ago.
"It's such a blessing to have this opportunity to try and represent my country playing baseball," said Stewart, who was an All-SEC first team outfielder in 2014. "Being able to have USA across my chest and play the game I love is something I've always wanted to do. It is something I will remember forever and will not take for granted."
Serrano is excited that Stewart will receive this opportunity.
"The Tennessee baseball family is thrilled that Christin is getting this opportunity with Team USA," said Serrano. "I believe his first two seasons with us have warranted this wonderful opportunity. Wearing the red, white and blue will be something he will never forget."
Stewart was Tennessee's top offensive threat in 2014, becoming just the 11th player in program history to win the team "Triple Crown" by leading the Vols with a .330 batting average, five home runs and 39 RBIs.
The only player to play in all 54 of UT's games this year, Stewart also paced the squad with 45 runs scored, 72 hits, 19 doubles, six triples and a .541 slugging percentage.
The 2014 Collegiate National Team will be coached by Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn. The team's assistant coaches include Rob Childress (head coach at Texas A&M), Ray Birmingham (head coach at New Mexico) and Steve Rodriguez (head coach at Pepperdine).
The Collegiate National Team will play games against Chinese Taipei and Japan on U.S. soil while also making trips to The Netherlands for the Honkbal - Haarlem Baseball Week and to Havana, Cuba for a Friendship Series against Cuba. The Collegiate National Baseball team begins play on June 21 with the Red, White and Blue Tour in various cities across the United States.

I am stuck: I am trying to get a facebook page with the like logo on to my website in progress but no luck .. I generated the code from the facebook page, (3 different ones of which I use the Iframe) past it into my html according to the book I am working from.. but the only thing I see after save and re-fresh is a white square. Any ideas what went wrong or is that logo for purchase.
Hm, it should work. The logo is free to use for this purpose. If you want, post your Like code here and we can take a look.
See the Code:

Something has gone wrong with the way you've copied the code. The URL is incomplete, for one thing, though I don't think that's the only problem. Perhaps return to the FB page and generate the code again.
src="http://www.facebook.com
Here is that code again.. it look to me same. and it still not work.. i didn't change the height this time
Were you using this page?
When I go through the steps to get to the where the code is generated from .. the above code was sitting in the box. So I delete and paste the URL I copy when I first load up the facebook page. So if I did something wrong I don't know what.
So to confirm, you were doing this on the page I just linked to?
Not that page: That is my main facebook page. The one I am after is called Aktivate Band Works, however I have it as unpublished at the moment ..since there will be no activity there for a while, I am still working on the music to go along with the website, but I do want to get facebook on the website for when it is ready to go on line. I must confess that me and Facebook are not friends one bit. My niece started this.
I meant the link I posted in post #6. That's the Facebook page where you should go to generate a Like button for your website. So I'm trying to gauge if that'w where you are going to create this button.
The page you had "like" opens when I log into facebook. It opens my time line page but the edit button to get to the area to generate the code is not there. However. I copy the URL and tried it by opening the new page called Aktivate Band Works get me to the box area, paste the URL that did nothing at all, the like box don't show up and it kick me off and back to the facebood.develover. .. But each time I put in the URL for Aktivate band works the "like" box shows up. I click and it generates the above code .. the URL that gets me that code is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aktivate-Band-Works/154221651407986?ref=hl.
You've lost me, I'm afraid. I'm just talking about going to the page I linked to above, which is a page provided by Facebook for creating a Like button. You then place that code on your website. It has nothing to do with going to your Facebook account, so far as I know.
The page you "like" to, gives me no place to start the edit process to get me to the resource social plugin area of the "like box" the URL in my last post to you is the one I use .. but the code that it generates doesn't work. This screen grab is with the code in the mark up. No like box just the wide open space
I may be misunderstanding, but a Like button on your website is for liking your website, isn't it? (It's so long since I've done this that I can't remember.)
Hey ridefree... Try generating your button here : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ <- CLICK HERE
@ralph_m; That's actually valid code, what it does is use the current protocol of the page. e.g. https if it's on an https page, and http on a http page.
I click on the above link in #15, but notice that URL at the top of the page has the http:// greyed out with a lock between it and the www. Didn't really notice it before. So could that lock greyed out http:// be causing a problem since it not allowing copy the in tire content of the URL ?
Yes, thanks Mark. I realised that later. I have seen and read about paths like that, but misread it as broken at first. Meant to correct that, but thanks for the reminder.
Not sure if what you wrote this time was intended for me..
Anyway I had asked 2 different people who know their way around on facebook to try generation that "like box" from their Facebook page as a test and they get the result like I have been getting not "like box".. so may be a Facebook issue?..
One other thing . How to delete the screen grabs I have posted on this site?
