Newegg is one of the top shopping destinations for computer enthusiasts. In October of 2008, they launched a major expansion into Canada. However, the high cost of shipping and some lag in updating prices and new products has been of concern to customers.
DailyTech did a little research and asked a few questions through C2E Consulting, Newegg's Canadian public relations agency. The following is what Newegg was willing to disclose:
Are all Newegg.ca products shipping from the Edison, New Jersey warehouse?
If not, what percentage?
Canadian orders are being fulfilled from all Newegg order processing centers. Where an item gets shipped from depends on availability and proximity. In general Edison takes care of most of Eastern Canada, while we have found our California centers to be most efficient in servicing the West side of the country.
Is Newegg going to start using Canada Post and/or Purolator instead of UPS?
We are currently going through the processes of evaluating and adding additional shipping options for our Canadian customers and certainly Canada Post and Purolator are among those we are considering. We have heard our customers' feedback and fully understand that in order to be competitive in retaining and winning new customers, we need to offer choices when it comes to carrier but also inexpedited and lower cost shipping.
Is the plan to expand the Canadian product line to match the U.S. product line? Is there a commitment to have new products available as quickly as the U.S. site?
Newegg prides itself on our ability to leverage partnerships with top manufacturers to offer our customers an outstanding and diverse product selection. As it stands, our Canadian customers today have access to almost our complete IT offering. Our computer and gaming categories established and built our business in the U.S. and in this sense we believe we have put our best foot forward by focusing on these products during our launch.
We are absolutely committed to expanding our offerings further and bringing our consumer electronics product lines to the Canadian market as well and are working hard on fostering and establishing the partnerships that will enable us to do so in a timely manner.
It is our goal to provide our Canadian customers an identical line-up to the U.S. with the added advantage of some specific Canadian only SKUs.
What is Newegg doing to lower prices in order to match what is available locally?
Our product management team ensures our prices are competitive to the local market especially when it comes to products and categories key to our Canadian customers. We monitor our Canadian pricing model very carefully to stay true to our commitment to value: offering quality product at great prices.
Any word on a local warehouse in Canada?
Our current order processing centers in New Jersey and California have been doing an outstanding job at shipping product to our Canadian customers getting 99% of approved orders out the door in one business day. Our robust shipping partnerships have also allowed us to come through with timely delivery to both urban and more remote areas of Canada. That being said, we cannot deny the fact that adding a local warehouse would make it easier to expand product offerings and expedite product delivery. We are seriously evaluating our options in terms of opening a local facility. It is a natural next step for our Canadian business.
Can you discuss any further expansion plans?
Our expansion into Canada has been a great experience for Newegg and we believe we can help transform the Canadian online market for IT and consumer electronics products. We were met with much enthusiasm and feel we have been successful in providing a much needed alternative value model to the existing technology e-commerce market in Canada. The outstanding performance of our Canadian expansion has confirmed that our business model of exceptional product selection at great prices, combined with stellar customer service and fast shipping is a formula for success that transcends cultural and geographic lines. Right now, we are heavily focused on our Canada, U.S. and China businesses but certainly are reviewing our opportunities for expanding internationally.

Discussion in 'Doctor Who' started by Atticus, Apr 2, 2013.
LOL, none of us are.
Apart from Benjamin Button.
Lets look at it this way, 7,8,9 and 11 have never appeared in a story with another doctor so we at least need those 4. LOL Ecc is out so lets hope for McCoy and McGann!
Well, to be fair, the current incarnation of Doctor Who started with Eccelston, not Tennant. I'm quite sad that we'll never see more of Nine. As for the name drops of old villains, it couldn't matter in the least. I've never seen the stories that these big-bads originated from and I'm still able to enjoy the current series as presented.
That's a good thing, because the old Doctor Who wasn't particularly good. Additionally, the fans of that show are such a vanishingly small group of people that they can be safely ignored, for the most part.
Doctor Who is a children's show. It makes very little sense to craft an anniversary special that ignores the primary target audience and the vast majority of the viewers.
Fighting words.
Ah, that old canard again. It's a family show. I've just seen an episode from 1964 where a jailer offers the female companion to go free if she sleeps with him, so I'd say it's always been made with a broad audience in mind.
Agree to disagree.
With no due respect, you really don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Opinion invalidated.
Hahaha, what? New Who has consistently milked its classic roots for publicity with the general public whether it be the return of the Daleks, Cybermen, Sarah-Jane, K9, Master, Sontarans, Davros, Silurians, Rassilon, Time Lords, Great Intelligence etc.
It is one of the most beloved shows by the British public and even the lesser thought of Colin and Sylv eras will be remembered long after the vile Top Gear is forgotten.
One of the reasons New Who hasn't alienated its fandom as much as JJ Abrams Trek has is that it has almost always gone out of its way to maintain continuity with and show respect the old show. There's no patronising "This isn't your daddy's Doctor Who!" attitude. The people making the show clearly love the classic series.
What a load of pish.
Brain. Hurting. Must. Reboot.
So how do you know if the show's good or not?!
It's like Babylon 5. I'm a fan of sci-fi, studiously watched TNG and DS9 in my youth, endured the entire run of Enterprise out of some sort of misplaced sado-masochism (This season will be better, I'm sure of it!) and absolutely adored RDM's definitive take on BSG. But I can't get behind Babylon 5. Every time I sit down and say: "everyone says it's good. I just have to slog through the first season, and it'll get better."
And every time, I stop watching a few episodes in.
It's much the same for old Who. I remember watching Pertwee and both Baker's as a child on PBS with some enthusiasm, but I never get more than a few minutes into a given serial before I have the unrelenting urge to harm myself. It's stiff, uninteresting and abysmally produced. I understand that there is a certain cult following, much as there is a certain segment of fandom that enjoys enduring Babylon 5, but I don't understand why.
As I grow older, it seems, I am far less willing to suffer through something simply because it's 'sci-fi.' It has to engage with me with more than just nostalgia. NuWho is kinetic, fun and occasionally touching. It brings me back to Saturday morning cartoons without pandering directly to the intended audience of 10-year-old boys. It's a joy and a treat.
Old Who is just a slog and life's just too short.
Well, I'd say Classic Who is the best TV show ever made, Babylon 5 is the best American show I've ever seen behind only The Wire, and NuBSG became utterly retarded for its final season.
So you managed to make a post that was wrong on every level. Impressive.
How exactly can his opinion be "wrong"?
Why come on a Doctor Who fan site and post about how bad classic Who is? There was some bad in Classic Who but there's been some bad in the New Who too. When you create hundreds of shows in the classic era and close to 100 in the new series(I believe it'll be right at 100 somewhere mid series) you'll have some bad episodes here and there. That's with any show that lasts long. I don't see the point in despising the current series over the classic one and vice versa.
So you haven't watched a lot of Old Who and you didn't like it. Well, to each their own.
Opinions are based on facts, if those facts are incorrect, even though the opinion itself is still just an opinion, it may lose most of its credibility.
I'd say Supernatural, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Torchwood, Black Adder, The Young Ones, Father Ted, American Dad, Family Guy, and Doctor Who are my top 10 shows (not in that order though).
Yeah, he watched some of the old stories and didn't like them. That is a matter of taste, not facts that he might have wrong.
Just because someone has different tastes than you do doesn't make their opinion "wrong"
If this episode is going to feature multiple Doctors - and in having Tennant join the cast, then it is - then it is a waste and something of a cheat not to include any of the pre-revival Doctors. It is, after all, the 50th anniversary episode, not the 8th anniversary. Paul McGann could quite conceivably play 8 again and I don't think Sly McCoy looks particularly old; he has one of those faces that looked middle-aged in his 30s and now doesn't look a lot older than he did in the 1996 movie. So he could and should have some appearance.
I personally would love to see Tom Baker or Peter Davison appear but I can see merit in the argument that they and Colin look too old to reprise the roles, Time Crash aside. I hope that at the least they'll be invited for voiceover work, or even to play non-Doctor roles.
Of course, as I've said elsewhere, Matt Smith said to Jonathan Ross, when asked to describe this story in one word, 'pictures.' That could mean we'll see pictures of the older Doctors. But I can't help wondering if there'll be some sort of Dorian Gray aspect to the story. Portraits, probably holographic, of the earlier Doctors in the TARDIS, which age, even as the incumbent remains young and vital. Could this be a way of having Tom, Peter and Colin back on board?
Beyond that, anything is a bonus and the other issue is how crowded a storyline is going to get with so many Doctors appearing. I suppose it's possible that the actors playing Hartnell and Troughton for the Adventures in Time and Space movie could also play the First and Second Doctors here too, though I know many of you don't like that idea (with it being a 50th special, I do think the First Doctor needs to be represented somehow).
Ooh I like that idea...
Even if Ten/Eleven is all we get from an actual Doctor perspective, I'm still hoping we might get a classic companion. There'd certainly be no issues over them looking too old because most of them didn't die, they just left the Tardis, so it doesn't matter that Ace/Leela/Tegan/Turlough or whoever look older/fatter/thinner/greyer, whatever.
I think it's a given that, were she still with us, Elisabeth Sladen would have been in this
^I was thinking the same thing.
The companions idea is a good one. I believe the actors who played the First Doctor's companions are mostly still alive, no? And wasn't there a reference to his granddaughter in Saturday's episode? Might that have some significance?
Of the classic Doctors, McGann definitely looks near enough, and I do think Time Crash has shown that Davison can get away with it too. This is what McCoy looked like playing the Doctor 18 months ago:
http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb416/planetmondas/Planet Mondas Forum/McCoy2.jpg
Even if Colin and Tom are beyond the pale (and personally even if they are I would still want them to be in it), those others haven't changed beyond all recognition from their Doctor days...

The eastern two-thirds of the country is composed of the rugged foothills of the Rhätikon Mountains, part of the central Alps. The highest peak is Grauspitz, which rises to 8,527 feet (2,599 metres), and much of the principality is at an elevation above 6,000 feet (1,800 metres). The lower slopes of the mountains are covered by evergreen forests and alpine flowers, while their bare peaks are blanketed by snow. The mountains contain three major valleys and are drained by the Samina River. The western section of the principality is occupied by the Rhine River floodplain, which, together with the valley of the Ill River, forms a triangular lowland widening northward. The river valley was once marshy, but a drainage channel built in the 1930s has made its rich soils highly suitable for agriculture.
The climate of Liechtenstein is mild and is greatly affected by the warm southerly wind known as the foehn. Annual precipitation ranges, according to location, from about 35 to 47 inches (900 to 1,200 mm), though some areas in the mountains can receive as much as 75 inches (1,900 mm). In winter the temperature rarely falls below 5 °F (−15 °C), while in summer the average daily maximum temperature varies from 68 to 82 °F (the high 60s to the low 80s F (about 20 to 28 °C). These conditions allow for the cultivation of grapes and corn (maize), which is unusual in a mountainous area.
Liechtenstein has a remarkable variety of vegetation. Water milfoil and mare's-tail as well as reeds, bulrush, bird's eye primrose, and orchids can be found. The forests comprise a mixed woodland with copper beeches, common and Norway maple, sycamore, linden, elm, and ash. Liechtenstein is also rich in wildlife, including red deer, roe deer, chamois, hares, marmots, blackcocks, pheasants, hazel grouse, partridges, foxes, badgers, martens, polecats, stoats, and weasels.
Liechtenstein is a constitutional monarchy. Its head of state is the prince, who succeeds to the throne by heredity through the male line as determined by the regulations of the princely house. The constitution of 1921 provides for a unicameral Landtag, or parliament, which consists of 25 members elected to four-year terms. The traditional regions of Vaduz and Schellenberg are still recognized as unique regions—the Upper Country (Oberland) and the Lower Country (Unterland), respectively—and they form separate electoral districts. All citizens age 18 or older who live in the principality are eligible to vote in national elections.
The government consists of a prime minister and four other cabinet officials (with at least two officials from each of the two electoral districts), who are appointed by the prince on the recommendation of the Landtag. The 11 Gemeinden (communes) are governed autonomously—but under government supervision—by mayors and city councils, elected every three years. To the south, the more industrial Upper Country contains the communes of Vaduz, Balzers, Triesen, Triesenberg, Schaan, and Planken. The Lower Country, to the north, is divided into the communes of Eschen, Mauren, Gamprin, Ruggell, and Schellenberg. The government maintains a nominal police force, but the standing army was abolished and neutrality proclaimed in 1868 (defense of the principality is the responsibility of Switzerland).
Liechtenstein has no natural resources of commercial value, and virtually all raw materials, including wood, have to be imported. All of the principality's forested areas are protected in order to maintain the ecology of the mountain slopes and to guard against erosion. There is no heavy industry, but small manufacturing concerns are spread throughout the principality. Production includes metalworking, pharmaceuticals, precision instruments, electronic equipment, food processing, and the manufacture of consumer goods. In 1921 Liechtenstein adopted the Swiss franc as its currency, and in 1923 it joined a customs union with Switzerland.
Few workers are employed in agriculture, but the average farming unit is fairly large, and the biggest concerns concentrate on livestock and dairying. Crops include corn, potatoes, and cereals. Vineyards are few and are split into small units. The Alpine slopes are used for grazing during the summer.
Tourism is a leading sector of Liechtenstein's economy and is sponsored by the government. Most visitors come from the surrounding European countries and centre their activities on Vaduz. The registration of tens of thousands of foreign firms in Liechtenstein provides a source of tax income. The principality has also become a centre of banking because of its stable political situation and its laws providing absolute bank secrecy. In the late 20th century, however, Liechtenstein became a centre for money laundering, and its laws were subsequently altered to prohibit the opening of accounts anonymously.
There is a network of excellent roads connecting Liechtenstein with its neighbours. The railway, part of the Paris-Vienna express route, passes through the northern sections of the country. There is no airport.
Ethnic Liechtensteiners, who comprise about two-thirds of the population, are descended from the Alemanni tribe that came into the region after AD 500. Although the official language is German, most of the population still speaks an Alemanni dialect containing local variations in pronunciation and vocabulary. Walsers, descendants of immigrants from the Swiss canton of Valais, settled in Triesenberg at the end of the 13th century and continue to speak a particularly distinctive form of the language. About four-fifths of the population are Roman CatholicChristians (with about three-fourths of that total being Roman Catholics).
Post-World War II industrialization resulted in a shift of people to the larger communes. The most populous communes are Vaduz, the administrative and commercial centre, and Schaan, the principal industrial community. Nevertheless, only about one-fifth of the population is classified as urban.
Matters of public health are the responsibility of a committee of public health, which is headed by a state medical officer. Liechtenstein's small medical institutions are supplemented by the excellent neighbouring Swiss facilities, to which the principality contributes support. Social security is sustained by a variety of compulsory insurance schemes; the financing of these comprehensive plans is shared by employers, employees, and the government.
Education is supervised by the National Board of Education and is compulsory beginning at age 7. The school system consists of primary schools, secondary schools, a vocational school, grammar school, commercial high school, music school, and a technical college. There is no university in the principality.
The world-famous art collections of the princes of Liechtenstein, exhibited in the Engländerhaus in the centre of Vaduz, include outstanding works of many 17th-century Dutch and Flemish painters. There is also a State Art Collection (1969). The Liechtenstein Postal Museum (founded in 1930) exhibits a large stock of stamps, including national issues since 1912. The Liechtenstein National Museum in Vaduz houses primarily early and Roman artifacts. The Liechtenstein National Library was established in 1961 as a public foundation. A large personal art collection of the Liechtenstein family also is displayed at the Liechtenstein Museum in Vienna (which reopened in 2004 after having been closed since 1938). The Liechtenstein Institute conducts research on topics relating to the country, especially in the sciences, economics, and history.
The Rhine plain has always been the focus of settlement. For centuries the valley was occupied by two independent lordships of the Holy Roman Empire, Vaduz and Schellenberg. The principality of Liechtenstein, consisting of these two lordships, was founded in 1719 and remained part of the Holy Roman Empire. It was included in the Confederation of the Rhine from 1806 to 1815 and in the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866. In 1866 Liechtenstein became independent. Throughout most of its history, Liechtenstein was a quiet, rural corner of the world that was largely unaffected by its European neighbours, maintaining its neutrality in both World Wars I and II. After World War II, however, the country underwent a remarkably rapid period of industrialization, led by Francis Joseph II, who served as prince from 1938 until his death in 1989.
Francis Joseph II was succeeded by his son Hans Adam II, under whom Liechtenstein joined the United Nations (1990), the European Free Trade Association (1991), the European Economic Area (1995), and the World Trade Organization (1995). Relations between the Landtag and the prince were often tense. The prince offered several constitutional amendments that would strengthen his role, and he frequently threatened to relocate to Austria if his wishes were not granted. In a constitutional referendum in 2003, voters endorsed wider powers for the prince, including the right to veto legislation and the ability to implement emergency powers and to dismiss the government (even if it retained majority support in the Landtag); the referendum also gave citizens the right to call a vote of confidence in the prince, which could result in his removal. In 2004 Hans Adam's son, Crown Prince Alois, assumed the day-to-day responsibilities of royal governance, though his father officially remained head of state. In 2006 the principality celebrated its 200th anniversary.

The Walking Dead [Season 1] Summary
Latest news
Telltale: No third season of The Walking Dead in 2015
The next season of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead won't be starting this year, confirms Job J Stauffer. He does say that what he's "seeing this week will be, and it is insanely cool."
There'll be "news soon" on whatever Stauffer is referring. In another tease he says he didn't say there wouldn't be any The Walking Dead from Telltale this year. Some more 400 Days style DLC?
Telltale Games suggests that we'll see some more of The Walking Dead before season three
At the SXSW convention earlier this month, Telltale Games suggested that we'd see more of The Walking Dead before a third season kicks off presumably later on this year.
The extra content looks like it could be another bridging episode much like the 400 Days episode that was released back in July 2013.
Swedish studio Gaming Corps partners with Robert Kirkman's Skybound Interactive
The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and his company Skybound Interactive have teamed up with Sweden-based developer Gaming Corps to work on "well-known brands," that it will announce in March.
The SXSW Gaming Expo scheduled March 13-15 is where and when they'll announce their first game in development, with it expected to launch this year. Fingers crossed it's something for PC.
The Walking Dead Season 1 Game of the Year Edition now on retail shelves
Telltale Games has announced that the Game of the Year Edition of The Walking Dead Season 1 is now available in retail for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The Walking Dead Season 1 Game of the Year Edition spotted

I think I happily listened to Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" three times before I thought, "Umm wait, what are those lyrics saying?" The mainstream media was already all over the "rape-y" lyrics, and Thicke's interesting defense — "Even very good girls have … a little bad side to them. You just have to know how to pull it out of them,"
he says. As for the naked women in the video? That's his wife's fault he says, "Then I showed it to my wife and all her girlfriends and they said, 'You have to put this out. This is so sexy and so cool.'"
Luckily there is an awesome parody of "Blurred Lines" by Mod Carousel, a Seattle based boylesque troupe.
The troupe says on their YouTube page: "It's our opinion that most attempts to show female objectification in the media by swapping the genders serve more to ridicule the male body than to highlight the extent to which women get objectified and do everyone a disservice. We made this video specifically to show a spectrum of sexuality as well as present both women and men in a positive light, one where objectifying men is more than alright and where women can be strong and sexy without negative repercussions."
DOH! Our music and arts editor Alex Notman has already blogged this. Sorry, distracted by Lane County scandals. Well, you can't have too many chances to watch a good video.
I believe this link is to the more controversial nude version that YouTube took down. It also supplies the lyrics.

Oh boy, have I been slacking off! Nice to see some people getting their runs in. Bobev, I'm glad your back is feeling better, a tough injury to have for lots of reasons. Cagery, love to get some hiking in, I'll be heading to the mountains in a couple of weeks to do just that.
Michele in NC
Michelle - we all go thru periods like that... gotta see it thru and get rolling again!
I'm on road trip with DW. Managed to get short runs in here and there in the cooler weather in the north east. This morning in CT. Hope to get more in before we drive back to TX.
, I'll be heading to the mountains in a couple of weeks to do just that.

Increasing mileage..but am very concerned that my stress fractures from last year are fracturing again...going to keep on going....
Glad to hear folks are out and about...and getting around. I get to head up to CT in august to visit the Millstone nuclear facility...New England is so very nice to be...
Hope everyone is still getting out there. I'm beginning to overcome some of my medication side effects and emotional issues. Was able to run a 5k Sat (barefoot - I rarely run in shoes anymore) without bladder or dry mouth problems. Took me 46 min to finish but ran w/o breaks in the 84F heat.
ya'll keep on keeping on!
On the road again...
Good job on the race, Bob!
I have a love/hate relationship with running. I do it, but sometimes I love to hate it.

A combination of factors were involved in my decision to come to the Angels last winter. One of the biggest came to me in a conversation I had with my dad that lasted until 3 a.m. one night.
We tried to weigh my options. He told me how he signed with Atlanta when he was a free agent and that put his family in a very financially stable place, but he had to endure losing for three or four years. He said he regretted choosing money over an opportunity to win. That resonated with me.
I wanted to be in a place where I would be happy. People talk about being fairly compensated, but at the end of the day, you're getting paid a lot of money no matter what your choice. I wanted to make sure I was going to be happy where I was playing. I ended up choosing the Angels because they took care of me financially and it allowed me to be geographically closer to my family. It also gave me an opportunity to win.
I don't really watch the news as it relates to sports that much, so I didn't catch a lot of what was being reported after I signed. This move allowed me to be closer to my family and that was the big news to my family. We were all excited it was going to allow me to spend more time with them and to be home more often.
You spend so many years traveling and away from your family that sometimes you see everyone around you growing up and it makes you realize how much time you've missed. All of the money in the world can't make up for those lost opportunities to spend time with your family.
When I was making my decision, I also had a conversation with my realtor, who is also a good friend, and he asked about my favorite place to play. I'm fully aware that I'm an Angel now, but I remember telling him Dodger Stadium is one of two places that make me emotional. I have fond memories of watching my father play there and spending time in the clubhouse.
Dodger Stadium and its clubhouses have changed little since then. I walk in there and see everything as it was in the early '80s when I was watching my father play. I can pick out which locker belonged to my father. I go through a lot of emotions when I play there.
Now I'm hoping to create similar feelings and memories of winning here in Anaheim for me and my family. I want to become a better player, become involved in the community and get to know these fans and people here.
I bought a place in Corona Del Mar. I try to spend all of my down time with my family. During the winter, I work out so much during the week it's ridiculous. Monday, Wednesday and Friday -- it's three workouts a day, and Tuesday and Thursday feature two workouts a day. Really, I have only the weekends to unwind and spend time with the family.
For fun, I like to pick out a spot here and there and do a little golfing or hop on the computer. Even if my family and I are just taking a walk somewhere, it's time well spent.
Gary Matthews Jr., a five-tool player, signed a five-year free-agent contract with the Angels following an All-Star season last year with Texas. He was a regular on the sports highlight shows, either for his productive bat or defensive plays like the catch he made last July 1 in a game against Houston. A California product and the son of former big leaguer Gary Matthews, the younger Matthews was born in San Francisco but attended Granada Hills High School. He was drafted in 1993 by San Diego and made his Major League debut in 1999 with the Padres.

love_is_noise I don't know if you're a vampire or an evolved human (a.k.a Heroes )
Well saying a few the might fit my personality, appearing out of no where (probably invisibility), I tend to scare people because I just appear out of no where behind them (maybe silent walk or something).
I tend to have a lot of imagination (although I had more when I was younger, need to see if I get more imagination again...anyway...), so make people see what I want. I'm also very reserved like Bella and tend to note thing people don't usually note, so shield and/or some kind of reading mind/objects.


text: Here are some photos of 3 of Agassi's personal Head Radical Tour Paintjobs! Left to right: Head Radical Tour 260/690, 20x21 String pattern, used during November 1993. Same racket as above, 20x21 string pattern, with Zebra paintjob, new never used 1997. Same racket as above, only 18x19 string pattern, with iRadical paintjob, used during Wimbledon 2003. The iRadical paintjob is definitely the same mold as the other 2 (apart from the different string pattern), it looks like a slightly rounder head, but this is due the stringing causing this rounder shape. Sorry I was going to get the racket on the left re-strung before doing the photos, will probably do it next week now, the 20x21 stringing pattern looks very cool I think! Grip size 3, before the overgrip. If anyone has any of Agassi's rackets, please post here, always great to see more photos!

OCEAN CITY – The new City Council grinded the Ocean City machine to a temporary halt on Tuesday, suspending all capital improvement projects pending further review.
A list of all capital improvement projects will be brought to the Mayor and City Council by City Manager Dennis Dare and other town officials in upcoming weeks, in order for the council to prioritize which projects are imperative in light of the country's economic crisis.
Councilman Joe Hall, who had promised to make a motion in his first meeting to "suspend all major capital improvement projects for six months", stayed true to his word, making that very motion, but got little support and was quickly encouraged to revise that motion by his colleagues.
"We can't just do carte blanche on this issue. Everyone is concerned with the financial times, but we need to look at every one of these items on a case-by-case basis, and follow the governmental decision process," said Councilwoman Mary Knight.
Some of the projects that will be brought before City Council include the St. Louis Avenue improvement project, a potential expansion of the Convention Center, the Caroline Street Comfort Station and the South Ocean Drive revetment.
The council's apprehension to spend frivolously in these economic times was heard "loud and clear" by Public Works Director Hal Adkins, who pleaded with the council his case to proceed on what he called necessary projects.
While speaking on the proposed half million-dollar improvement to the Artic Avenue Wastewater Pumping Station, Adkins said, "this one can't be postponed for six months. It's got to get done by June or we're going to lose a whole year on this. The majority of the cost is electrical and mechanical, and if I don't start on this soon, I'm going to have to take the whole station off line and take it apart, which wouldn't be popular with the residential neighbors on either side of the station."
Joe Hall questioned whether the station was "fully operational" and "absolutely needed" to be revamped with a half million-dollar improvement project.
"The station is over 40 years old, and we haven't done too much to it in those 40 years," Adkins said. "Yes, it's operational, but there are no emergency functions on the station."
The council, after much deliberation and tweaking to the original Joe Hall motion, which was eventually seconded by Margaret Pillas, voted 4-2, with Council President Joe Mitrecic absent, to have all projects listed and prioritized before going forward with spending.
Mayor Rick Meehan, who remained quiet during the sometime heated discussion between Joe Hall and other council members, voiced his approval of the newly revised motion.
"I think this is a much better motion. I think that we should look at the list that Dennis [Dare] will bring to us and we will see what is essential in these trying times for everybody," the mayor said. "We don't want to deny critical projects that need to be done."
Some of the projects, such as the South Ocean Drive revetment, are funded by a DNR loan and others, like the Artic Avenue Pumping Station, would be paid for from the town's wastewater fund. The "million-dollar plus" Caroline Street Comfort Station project on the Boardwalk was a big concern for Pillas, who criticized its cleanliness and its efficiency.
"Those bathrooms were non-operational so many times this summer, and they need to be looked at as that is an essential station to Boardwalk visitors," she said.
Dare said that "maybe after [the council] decides which projects are essential, we can ask the bidders on these projects to give us their best and final prices, and that could cut some costs", as he did point out that "all were over budget."

Michigan vs Bradley preview
Michigan takes to the road for the first time this season for an unusual road trip to a much smaller school, Bradley University. Michigan will be the highest-rated team ever to visit the school in Peoria, Ill and lost its only other trip there, back in 1997.
Bradley enters at 5-1 in its second season under Geno Ford. In his first, the Braves went just 7-25, including a 77-66 loss at Michigan. But this year, the team is much improve with five wins already compared to just one loss. However, those five wins have been to lesser opponents, Eastern Illinois, Texas-Pan American, IUPUI, Tennessee-Martin, and Central Michigan. The one loss was against the one major conference school they played, USF.
IUPUI is the common opponent between the two teams. Bradley beat them 79-72, while Michigan thumped them 91-54.
Averaging 76.3 points per game and a 47.1 field goal percentage, Bradley ranks 55th nationally in both categories. Ford runs an up-tempo offense that creates a lot of assists, but has resulted in a poor three-point shooting percentage at just 26.4.
Walt Lemon, Jr is the top scorer for the Braves, averaging 13.2 points per game to go along with 4.2 assists. He scored 19 against IUPUI. He's very quick, but has made just 3-of-16 from three-point range so far this season. His backcourt mate is senior Dyricus Simms-Edwards who averages 10 points and 3.7 assists per game. He scored 14 against Central Michigan, just was held to just four against USF. His quick hands have forced an average of nearly three turnovers per game. Swingman Jake Eastman is probably the best shooter, having made 56.3 percent of his shots and 37.5 percent of his threes thus far.
Forward Tyshon Pickett ranks second on the team in scoring at 12.8 and leads the team with 7.2 rebounds per game. He picked up a double-double against IUPUI with 18 points and 10 boards. He's shooting nearly 54 percent from the field and will be a tough matchup for Glenn Robinson III.
Center Will Egolf is scoring 10 points per game and bringing in 6.2 rebounds. He has also shown the ability to step out and shoot the three, having connected on 6-of-14 so far this season. He has 10 blocks through six games, five of which came against IUPUI.
As you can see, all five starters average double digit points, but the Braves also have a couple of other capable scorers in backup big man Jordan Prosser and sophomore guard Jalen Crawford, who is the younger brother of former Xavier and current Washington Wizards guard Jordan as well as former Kentucky guard Joe.
Bradley won't present the toughest matchup Michigan has faced this season, but it will be the first chance for the freshmen to experience adversity on an opposing court. Madison Square Garden was one thing, but it was a fairly pro-Michigan crowd. It will be interesting to see how Robinson, Mitch McGary, Nik Stauskas, and Spike Albrecht perform on the road. Even though teams rated as high as Michigan don't typically visit schools like Bradley, it's a good early-season test to get their feet wet before hitting the road for tougher opponents once the Big Ten schedule begins.
Michigan should win this one, but I wouldn't expect it to be the blowout we saw in the first few games of the season. Still, it should be a fairly comfortable win for Beilein's crew.


text: Riding in from AZ a week ago on my GSA1200. Need a break and stop at Tahachapi, CA for a short rest. Just before getting off the freeway a mile or so, the CHP were stopping speeders on the other side, opposite direction. I blew on by, thinking of my exit ahead for a rest stop. A mile to go yet. One of the CHP, a Polarbear(white unmarked), the others are Panda's, had turned on ME across the median to my lack of notice. I was not speeding, but still did not notice the CHP following me at a distance. White unmarked, remember! Tehachapi is a small mountain town and kind of high desert terrain. The exit is clearly wide open country and I just get off and continue to blow the stop sign, left turn, probably still in third gear. NOT even a close stop. Hmmmmm. I notice the white car immediately in my mirror at the past intersection blown by me and YES, guess who! It was a safe maneuver on my part, because no traffic in either direction and I figured what the heck, don't stop. My California stop was a little much, however as third gear stops are faster than any CHP can handle! Well, I try to go unnoticed and riding towards town, thinking I may have been unseen back there in my glory. NOPE, the CHP had me in their sights indeed and approached from behind in a carniverous fashion, I felt. ME, I guess I'm had, so my GSA and I find dirt, well off the roadway and safe. The Polarbear(unmarked whitie car) CHP has a girl CHP at the helm and she marches at me with a mannerism of real authority and about to pounce on my guilt. I knew it was coming and melted into a puddle of self guilt. She spoke first; "WHAT WAS THAT", not even close to a stop? I quickly remove my helmet for my age may improve my case, with lots of grey hairs, mostly grey nowadays. I speak; I'm wrong, indeed and have no excuse, I blew it! I have no out, I say. I'm clearly wrong and have no excuse at all". End of conversation. She asks for my drivers license and "no" registratation, and after that and I feel immediately she may be considering a break for me and a verbal warning. My feeling is correct as I speak again and say," if you're condidering giving me a break, I'm very appreciative indeed" and that was that. She gave me a break and I have been lucky this day. Actually, no CHP are bad, as I titled this and they are just folks doing jobs we conflict with occasionally. My latest was a good experience, as I got off the hook with a repremand from this lady CHP. I have a great record and no tickets for a dozen or more years, so I've been a good boy or say not caught. Be safe, Happy Trails, Randy13233

The Grand National Roadster Show 2006 - Custom Truck Show
The Grandaddy of Them All
As one of the higher-profile shows to take place in the Southern California area, the Grand National Roadster Show has held its prestige for many years. In its 57 years of running, it has achieved the honor of being the world's longest running indoor auto show. In that sense, the show is even older than some of the vehicles we have grown to love that even date past the 1950s.
With a long career of bringing automotive enthusiasts together, the show has gained the same respect as that of the classic vehicles that enter its competition. It is only as good as the crowd it brings, and with the cash prizes to be awarded to the top winners in each class, the show is guaranteed to gather the some of the highest detailed customs on the West Coast. And sure enough, the show was utterly packed with quality rides. The Los Angeles Fairplex in Pomona, California, was the hosting venue for this event, and it seemed like the massive fairground was hardly enough to fit everything. This year's show was an expanded version from the previous shows. There were six exhibit halls, and vehicles were even flooding the walkways between them.
Even though this was a show for pre-'74 vehicles, there was more entertainment than that for spectators to see. The outdoor stage between the halls was set up with several bands, including Ronny and the Classics, Surfing Safaris with Bob Fetherolf, and the Hot Rod Trio, playing melodies that would take you back in time. Also, there were special guest appearances from the Big Swag of Monster Garage and Chip Foose, the legendary hot rod designer and host of Overhaulin'. Foose also brought along his "Overlord" '56 Ford truck that was overhauled with the help of his father Sam.
Another site to see was the Suede Palace hall that featured all the cool primered customs. With the Rat rod craze in full swing, it only made sense that there was a section dedicated to the customs that sport the unfinished look. In the same building, the Pinstripers' Reunion was held, and stripers displayed a collection of artwork that went on a silent auction to benefit the Operation Safe House of Riverside, California.
In all, the show was a complete success and a big hit with anyone who has an appreciation for custom work. And there were plenty of customized classic trucks that were cleaned to the smallest of details. It was an exciting show that left us in awe.

Discussion in 'College Tennis Talk' started by SoCal10s, Mar 1, 2013.
Can someone please change the title of this thread?
Someone get this poster a box of tissues.
Yes, you're right for last week, and UCLA will even have a bigger lead at #1 in the computers this week thanks to the "extra" match.
The top 4 of UCLA's best 9 wins are 1st the away win at USC, 2d UGA, and then the other 2 USC matches
However, you also have to consider UVa's fairly weak strength of schedule since the Indoors.
If UCLA had not played (or even lost to) USC in the Ojai and UVa had played a reasonably ranked team in the ACC tourney (not Wake Forest), much less the past few weeks, then the #1 spot would be up for grabs. Each week the rankings are evolving.
It's been a while since UVa has played a top 10 or 15 team. Their profile is not improving in the eyes of the computer. It would have helped them to play a top 10-ish Duke team in the ACCs.
At the same time, UCLA has won @ Pepperdine and beaten USC twice.
Interesting to see what happens in the NCAAs. UVa has not been tested in a long time, unlike the boys out West.
That's been the typical scenario in recent years. An undefeated UVa hasn't a fairly weak outdoor schedule, while the top Pac 12 teams get battle tested in April.
I meant:
"An undefeated UVa HAS a fairly weak outdoor schedule, while the top Pac 12 teams get battle tested in April."
Well, Virginia did go on a road trip to Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Oklahoma and Illinois. Usually that would have been good enough to give the Hoos some quality wins, but several of those programs had down years.
UCLA has its 2014 non-conference schedule lined up and it's stacked with top 15 teams:
Georgia - Feb 1st
Florida - Feb 2nd
@ Stanford - Feb 9th
Pepperdine - Feb 22nd
USC - Feb 25th
Virginia - March 6th - National Championship Rematch
Tulsa - March 8th
Baylor - March 13th
This is tough. Everyone of these team should be ranked top 10 in NCAA next year.
Most of them. Probably not Stanford and Tulsa.
Arizona got whacked by New Mexico. Why is that program so poor?
Also Washington is looking pretty poor this year as well.
Arizona is a conundrum. Solid academics (has a reputation as a party school which can be a good or a bad thing), excellent facilities, and beautiful weather. Last I checked they had won something like 1 our of their last 20 PAC-12 matches (not exactly those numbers but something close). Not sure how to explain what's going on there.
Washington lost McMorrow and Bots and didn't have the backfill to replace them at the top. It will be a tough year for them.
I'd say Oregon is neck and neck with Stanford for the 4th best team in the conference after UCLA, USC, and Cal.
It seems like every conference has at least 1 team that is just plain bad and Arizona is that team in the Pac 12. You know they really don't care when you go to the school website and click on the stats button and it pulls up stats from the 2010-11 season as the most current. They are in the same company with Arkansas (SEC), Iowa (B1G), and Boston College (ACC). Okie State has been the weak link in the Big 12 for the last several years but they've started to turn it around since Jay Udwadia came in.
My question is how does the coach there (Arizona) continue to keep his job and how was his previous assistant able to land a pretty decent gig (now at LMU). I must be missing something. Atleast they brought in a new coach at Arkansas, and as you mentioned Ok State as well so the assumption is both programs will trend upwards. The coach at Iowa has been there a very long time so they will probably continue to be mediocre until he retires. BC is a non scholarship program so they will always struggle given who they have to compete against.
Oregon used to be that team in the pac-12 but they are making some small strides and they look to be pretty decent this year. There isn't a verdict on Utah yet and how they fully transition.
Oklahoma State was good not very long ago. They had Nedovyesov who is now ATP top 100. Kinda odd that they have had this many down years since then.
Udwadia took over for Wadley who retired after 40 seasons running the Ok State team. Wadley had lots of success over the years. After that length of time running the same team, insert your own guess as to why they where down near the end of Wadley's tenure.
In that case, it will be interesting to see how close Oregon can make their match with Duke in the ITA indoor kick-off this weekend. I don't expect an upset, but it does not sound like Redlicki will play for Duke if he was limping around in a boot or cast a few days ago.
Separate names with a comma.

Just two more days until the very first Cognitive Awakening in Paradise, CA (near Chico). Believe me, you won't want to miss out on this one! There is a stir about Tahoe regarding the festival; people are excited to get out of town and experience something new altogether. I know that I am ready for the mind cleansing and soul rejuvenation that inevitably goes hand in hand with gatherings such as The Cognitive Awakening. I am ready to challenge myself and my instincts, make myself vulnerable, spark my creativity, and fine-tune my senses. I have a wonderful fuzzy feeling inside that this will be an unforgettable weekend where I will meet dear old friends and curious new souls. The Cognitive Weekend is somewhat of a family affair… it is low key, family oriented, and focused on quality over quantity. Yes, huge festivals are usually great fun and put you in party mode, but what gets me excited about The Cognitive Awakening is this family aspect as well as the interactive parts of the festival. Also, I have never been to a festival in climate like this so I am excited to see what new elements are brought to the table; I'm sure the unique environment will make the festival all the more dynamic! Some of my favorite DJs are performing on Funktion One sound… what's not to be stoked about?
Check out the lineup for Sunday night at the main stage, it's pretty unbeatable!
9pm Andrew The Pirate & Smasheltooth
10pm Zeb Early
11pm NicoLuminous
12am Love & Light
1am Russ Liquid
2am Gladkill
3am Rich DDT
4am Kaminanda
I'll see you on the bluffs!
Infrasound Music Festival ❘ May 31- June 2, 2013

Katy Perry took to social media this afternoon to share a revealing shot.
The singer was biking along the Ile De Re, an island off of France's west coast, and it seems the wind caught Katy's dress just enough to lift it.

"I know it's a little cheeky, butt…," the singer wrote in an amazing use of pun. "Cycling in The ile de re, France FR."
Semi salacious, but it's a modest shot compared to some of the NSFW photos of Perry's Beau Orlando Bloom that have surfaced during their recent vacation together.

1)Why did Bella want to try cliff diving? Do you think it was because she wanted to hear Edward's voice again or she wanted to be "absolutely free", unthinking, and utterly irresponsible? OR do you think there was another, deeper issue?
I really think it was a combination of all of those. For sure she wanted to hear Edward's voice, that is a given. She is always the responsible person so being absolutely free of everything was probably tempting. She could leave her pain and responsibility on land and for a few seconds, have nothing to feel but falling from the cliff. I don't think she wanted to kill herself, or even planned to. However, if she got hurt, I don't think she'd care at this point. Edward took away so much of her that nothing else seems to really even matter anymore.
2)Why wouldn't Billy tell Jacob what was going on with Sam, and Jacob's friends? (as to why the were acting strangely). Do you feel Jacob could've handled and understood the truth if he was told at the beginning of New Moon?
Jake probably wouldn't have believed Billy. Jake isn't exactly happy when he finds out the truth, so no, I don't think he could have handled the truth in the beginning.
3)Another albino comment is made, not by Bella this time but by Jacob. "I've never seen anyone paler than you except for---," Jacob says. Why do you think Bella's paleness is mentioned yet again? Is it a comparison between the "light" side and the "dark" side, an innocent comment on Jacob's part or something else?
Its obvious that Bella is pale, that was pointed out almost immediately in Twilight. I think Jake was talking about the fact that Bella is like a zombie. The life has basically been sucked out of her. It's not literally the color of her skin that is being pointed out. Jake is drawing attention to her emotional state.
4)Bella calls Jacob her "fix" on page 162. A fix is something to make you feel temporarily better in regards to your physical or emotional health. Do you think Bella realizes that her close friendship with Jacob, throughout the first ¾ of the book, might only be temporary? Did you think he would continue to be her fix throughout "Eclipse" if something upsets her about Edward?
It seemed like she thought she'd be dependant on Jake for a very long time. I'm pretty sure she had no idea Edward would ever come back. I thought they would be friends in Eclipse, but I didn't think Bella would continue to need him the way she does in New Moon.

Do you mind answering a few basic questions for me re: GPU Ocing? Thanks!
GTX 470. Driver ver = 301.42
1. Is there any reason not to use the NVIDIA Control Panel? I know there are GPU OCing utilities - do I really need one just to raise the clock(s) speed and maybe increase the fan speed?
2. is OCing a GPU the same as OCing a CPU in that the main concern is Temperature? If it stays under whatever is recommended for the particular GPU...can I consider it a safe OC?
3. the fan. There are 2 choices in the Control Panel, Auto and Manual. The default for Auto is 40% and it's non-negotiable (grayed out). Does setting it to Manual mean it constantly runs at 50% (or whatever i set it to)? If noise isn't a concern can I set it even higher and not worry about ruining the thing? I already got my money's worth out of this card so I don't mind "pushing it" a bit if necessary.
In the control panel I raised the 2 clocks by 10% - what NVIDIA calls the "graphics clock" and the memory clock. I also set the fan to Manual. There seems to be no way to set it to Auto using a higher % rpm. At 50% my normal workload produces temps around 70C. Once in awhile a 75C but generally 60-70C. The main programs I use that give the GPU a workout are Premiere Pro, C4D and AfterFX.
My motivation for OCing the GPU is to increase the memory bandwidth, which supposedly is what the Adobe apps thrive on. The GTX470 default is 133MB/s. With a 10% OC it goes up to 147.4MB/s. I can't say I've noticed a difference but I just like the idea of OCing this card. Everybody talked about how hot the GK100s ran, esp the 480 but I seem to have some headroom on this card; maybe not under a stress-test but using my normal workflow so far so good.
Thanks you guys. I appreciate any thoughts or advice you can share.

Fear the Tribe
Sox vs. Indians, July 7, 8, 9
I know, I know, the Indians are in last place–17 games under .500 and 11 1/2 games behind the first-place Tigers in the AL Central. But they make me nervous.
It would seem that the pitching matchups are in our favor this week (or at least even), but the Tribe will be looking for revenge after last week's sweep in Cleveland and a lineup with Sizemore, Martinez and Choo is always dangerous.
With the Twins at the Twinkiedome looming this weekend, we need to take advantage of the lowly Indians. Let's hope we can do it.

Community policy on digital video broadcasting
Digital technologies open up major prospects for the future of television and, more generally, for the future electronic information highways or integrated broadband communications, in which digital television can play a pivotal role. The Council therefore considers that digital technologies need to be introduced onto the market in a harmonious fashion, and that this will be best achieved by means of a consensus process involving all the relevant economic agents.
Council resolution of 27 June 1994 on a framework for Community policy on digital video broadcasting [Official Journal C 181 of 02.07.1994].
This Council resolution stresses the importance of digital technology for the future of television. First, common standards must be adopted to allow harmonious introduction of digital television on the market. Conditional access is another important matter for the providers and consumers of pay-television services and for the rights holders of programmes. Fair and open competition must therefore be ensured in this area in order to protect the interests of the consumer and minimize the possibility of piracy.
The Council declares that the preferred way to achieve the objective of harmonious development of the market is to reach a consensus between all concerned, including broadcasting organizations. In the absence of such a consensus or if necessary to ensure fair and open competition, to protect consumers or safeguard a public interest, the Council is willing to introduce regulatory measures.
The consultations with industry on conditional access must continue in order to determine which additional measures are required.
The Council welcomes the Commission's intention:
- to include research and development activities on digital television in its proposals for the specific programmes under the fourth framework programme;
- to encourage standardization of digital television;
- to encourage and monitor the development of implementation scenarios for digital video broadcasting;
- to encourage studies;
- to maintain a dialogue with the third parties concerned.
Finally, the Council calls on the Commission to monitor and report to it on all relevant developments. Proposals for appropriate action are expected as soon as they are felt necessary and useful and, in any event, before 1 July 1995.
Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 14 December 1999: Principles and guidelines for the Community's audiovisual policy in the digital age [COM(1999) 657 final - not published in the Official Journal]. This Communication lays down the European Commission's priorities for the next five years in terms of the introduction of digital technologies. It also sets out the objectives and principles of Community audiovisual policy in the mid-term (adapting the regulatory framework and the different national and Community support mechanisms).
Council Decision 89/337/EEC of 27 April 1989 on high-definition television [Official Journal L 142 of 25.05.1989]. The purpose of this Decision is to develop a global strategy for introducing high-definition television services in Europe.

Information for Patients
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Also called: CO poisoning
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas that has no odor or color. But it is very dangerous. It can cause sudden illness and death. CO is found in combustion fumes, such as those made by cars and trucks, lanterns, stoves, gas ranges and heating systems. CO from these fumes can build up in places that don't have a good flow of fresh air. You can be poisoned by breathing them in. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Weakness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Chest pain
- Confusion
It is often hard to tell if someone has CO poisoning, because the symptoms may be like those of other illnesses. People who are sleeping or intoxicated can die from CO poisoning before they have symptoms. A CO detector can warn you if you have high levels of CO in your home.

And for the funny bone:
12 Days of Christmas (by Frank Kelly)
Christmas at Ground Zero
The Night Santa Went Crazy
Shall I take a guess at what will be the most played Christmas songs in the UK this year in no particular order
Fairytale of New York
Last Christmas
All I Want for Christmas
My Favorites
White Wine in the Sun -Tim Minchin
Do They Know It's Christmas-Band Aid
Charlie Brown Christmas
I Believe in Father Christmas--Greg Lake
Walking in a Winter Wonderland (Eurythmics version)
White Christmas - Bing Crosby
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas--James Taylor
I'll Be Home for Christmas--various
It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas--Bing Crosby
Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo, Wizards in Winter, Christmas Cannon --Trans-Siberian Orchestra
just to name a few.
We have a local radio station that starts playing Christmas music on November 1st. I should add that the ONLY plays Christmas music from November 1st through December 25th. I can't believe that people get into that early.
Personally I don't start getting into it until early December, certainly the two weeks leading up to Christmas is fine by me, but prior to December 1st is just wrong in my opinion.
I'm not listening to any Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. The stores around here put up their trees before Halloween. How can you put up a tree to celebrate the solstice when we JUST PASSED THE EQUINOX?!
My favorite Christmas song is God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. I also really like Mary's Boy Child.
I think it's odd that winter songs, like Jingle bells or Baby Its Cold Outside, aren't played after Christmas. It is often colder and more snowy after Christmas.
Medieval and classical Christmas songs are my favourite, including Handel's Messiah. I prefer traditional carols over more modern ones. Guess I'm just an old fart.
My current favourite Christmas album is Annie Lennox's from a couple of years ago. I've always been a bit fan of Annie, and her versions of traditional carols are just stunning.
We have a radio station in the Bay Area (96.5 KOIT) that plays holiday songs earlier and earlier each year. They used to play Christmas songs only on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Then one year, starting from Thanksgiving Eve all day the way through December 25, it was Christmas songs 24/7. Last year they started on the weekend before Thanksgiving. I actually tune in whenever I'm in my car or in the office.
My favorites:
Nat King Cole: The Christmas Song
The Ray Conniff Singers: Twelve Days of Christmas, What Child Is This
Bing Crosby: White Christmas
The Drifters: White Christmas
Dean Martin: Winter Wonderland
Percy Faith & His Orchestra: We Need a Little Christmas
Elvis Presley: Blue Christmas
Brenda Lee: Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree
Elmo & Patty: Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer
Perry Como: Home for the Holidays
The Eagles: Please Come Home for Christmas
Jose Feliciano: Feliz Navidad
Boston Pops Orchestra: Sleigh Ride
Burl Ives: A Holly Jolly Christmas
Bobby Helms: Jingle Bell Rock
Andy Williams: It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Josh Groban: Oh, Holy Night
Celine Dion: Oh, Holy Night
John Williams (Home Alone Theme): Somewhere in My Memory
I dislike the some of the more modern/contemporary holidays songs, especially R&B renditions or anything by Mariah Carey.
Spent all of last December in Boot Camp. Apart from a church service on the afternoon of Christmas Eve, during which I nearly bawled through every song (and I'm about totally over Christmas normally), I didn't hear any Christmas music at all, and that was just fine by me.
I did miss the f*** out of my old audiobook recording of The Polar Express, though, especially since the buildings of Great Lakes looked not entirely unlike van Allsburg's North Pole.
Yes, I loved those.
As for other great Christmas songs, you just can't beat this modern classic
Another favourite performance is this rendition of a great song by various musicians a few years ago:
The entire show was highly enjoyable.
Well, if we're listing favorites...
"White Wine in the Sun", as I posted already, is my favorite. It beautifully and perfectly encapsulates how I feel, and contrasts wildly with my next favorite:
"Oh Holy Night" -- A beautiful and powerful song whether or not one is a believer
"Charlie Brown Christmas" -- the entire album. It would actually be n my top 10 Desert Island list; it's just solid jazz all the way through.
Ahem: how has nobody yet mentioned Günther's masterpiece?!
Normally I start listening right on November 1st, but I'm not really digging it this year. Having a hard time finding the "Christmas spirit". Bah humbug.
I absolutely hate The Twelve Days of Christmas. By the end of it, I just want to kill the bird! As far as my favorite Christmas carol is, I don't have just one. I enjoy the old standards and religious carols.
^For me, it's the Chipmunk Christmas song. If I hear that one more time, I'm going to take a life. Jack Bauer could use that song to torture people.
auntiehill, I like that even though you hate The Chipmunk Christmas Song (which I do too, btw), you still provide a link to youtube
Just to prove my point, of course. I'm not suffering ALONE.
Some of my favourites:
Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody
Wizzard - I wish it could be christmas every day
Mud - Lonely this christmas
Greg lake - I believe in father christmas
Pogues ft Kirsty Mccoll - Fairytale of New York
Tom Jones - baby it's cold outside
David Bowie and Bing Crosby - little drummer boy
Bo Selecta - Proper Crimbo
Darkness - Christmas time
Separate names with a comma.

The bike: 1977 R100
I just picked up this bike and for the price I did not take to close a look at much more than the Vin# on the frame and title, making sure they matched.
The rear brake have the cam that passes through the final drive housing and I have never had an issue with one not wanting to move. Frozen! I have just began some Kroil penetrating oil on both the inside and outside. My question is: is the cam piece screwed on or pressed on to the shaft?
Here is the shaft number I am speaking of: 35 21 1 230 261 REAR BRAKE CAM (to 09/80), (courtesy of Max BMW) and here is the picture just in case I did not describe the piece well. With a 12 inch adjustable wrench you can barely turn the shaft.
I just finished a topend reseal and general cleaning of the bike, very very greasy/oily mess. I pulled off the oil pan just to see what may be living in there, and I lucked out, barely a discolored coat of oil, not black as I expected, so, I am assuming maybe the guy actually changed the oil on a regular basis but cared less about the oil dripping out of the push rod tubes, dripping is being nice!

oH no, is disaster, Nugget now get ring with backman and Camby and Melo Anthony, Knicks is failure
* We get a draft pick, in a draft where we would have otherwise had no picks because of marbury.
* We get rid of a small foward and a player that would not have gotten much minutes
* We will waive the scubs for nothing, and get down to a 15 man roster
* We shave cap space, no matter how big or small, cap space is good.
* Balkmans offense will not fit Dantoni's system because he cant shoot.
So b4 u go so quickly to go off on the mouth, think b4 u post.
and change ur sig. cant u find arroyo crossing up another team????
chandler > balkman
gallo > balkman
q rich > balkman
its impossible to pull this off with jefferies and rose because they make a lot of money, we would have to take 1 or 2 salaries and donnie doesnt want any contracts past 2010.....
sometimes metro understands this concept, other times he doesnt.....i dont know why....the salary game is simple
Toons, stop crying.
* draft pick is good
* having balkman would be good depth, you never know if Chandler or Gallinari get injured
* We could of waived Collins and send Jerome James to retirement for roster space.
* Shaving insignifcant cap space will get us under the cap. Moving Crawford, Randolph, Jefferies and Curry would do that.
* You are ignorant of Balkman's offense. Balkman's best offense is when he's in he fastbreak. He's elite at running the floor and scoring and passing.
Balkman would of been a great fit, he forces a lot of turnovers which leads to fastbreak points. These are facts we can't deny. Balkman was an asset an we lost an asset.
Take the biggest loser in the NBA who's done nothing but brought ***** soft no defense clown basketball to NYC out of your sig, but then again it symbolizes who you are.
is total discgrace that balkman is gone to Denver Nuget he was great fast player is move down fast court with skills and throw down rock for thunder dunking, by defence he is like Ron Atrest for Indiana Pacer and now we say to nugget here, have Balkman for nothings, we take this 2 bad player and throw them away, is make no sense, don walsh is like isiah thonms is total ruining of the knick, no ring for knick now balkman is gone istead Melo Anthonys celbrating in Denver Nugget when they have champinships
Here's my problem with the trade. It essentially means the team gave up on their first round draft pick from 2 years ago. In essence, that pick from not so long ago becomes what amounts to a waste of time and energy. I never like quitting on my first round picks that quickly, and that's essentially what happened right here. It's just a tough pill for me to swallow in that this pick from not so long ago amounts to a total waste.
On the other hand, Gallinari is supposed to be tough as nails, essentially the way I understand it we got, in Big ****, a Balkman with offense. Does that make Big **** a waste of a pick this year? No, I don't think so. Taurean Green isn't bad, though I doubt he will play for us, and a second round pick is essentially useless, except for the fact that we don't have a first rounder next year.
I like Balkman, it just sucks to think that our 1st round pick two years ago we essentially gave up on after a little promise.
to say dirk hasnt watched the NBA is years, hes got it pretty spot on!!!!!
welcome to the forum!
Will we ever win a championship again? Id like to think so!
Getting Duhon i think will have more purpose for next season due to the fact that Steph would be gone and Nate isnt trusted as a true point guard. But it could still work, yes we have alot of PG's but do we have any SG's to back up Crawford? Not really, one of the forwards or pointguards have to play SG eventually cuz Jamal isnt gonna play 40 minutes a game anymore. He'll probably use Q Rich or Marbury at the 2 leaving minutes for Duhon and Nate to play PG and Roberson will be in their a couple minutes a day to shoot some shots when they need him(the roberson part has been his reported to be his duty so far).
Now the Balkman scenerio is quit simple, we had to many players with 16 and had to get rid of one. Signing Anthony Roberson forced us to give up one guy before the season began and Balkman was that guy. Now you can say "oh give up James or Jeffries", first off now one would want them and if u buy them out your still losing money. And the Zach deal was bullshyt, you dont trade a 20/10 guy for a 2nd round pick, Walsh isnt as dumb as Isiah and he realized that Zach's trade value could go up keeping him for a little while longer. Walsh is most likely going to release the two former nugget players because this deal was for cap space a 2nd round pick. And it was reported that Walsh would make 2 million more after this deal, i dont know how but that was the report on espn radio. Walsh is slowly molding a team to be in the clear financially and a team that would work good together chemistry wise with Mike D. MIke D and Donnie Walsh are the opposites of Isiah Thomas and we cant possibly be worse than when Isiah was there so what are u worried about?

I gave up on the Leafs many years ago, i'm not crazy about soccer but the team absolutely blows, I'm from Hamilton, so I don't like the Marlies, all that's left is my passion for the raptors, which is slowly dying..
Do you have any advice/suggestions for me?
Such as;
-a new team to follow(without being a complete bandwagoner,so don't say "go jump on the Miami bandwagon, you tool!")
-reasons that can help me to keep the faith in the Raptors
-How Ujiri is different from his predecessors
-Is Rudy Gay the wing we've been waiting for since the departure of one Vincent Lamar Carter
-Why Valanciunas is the dominant center we've been waiting for
-Why Dwane Casey is the guy moving forward
-Why Andrea Bargnani was/is such a lazy c*nt
-What is the meaning of life
-Why does it hurt when I pee(That's a question for you Heinz)
-Why aren't there more girls on here(self-explanatory, really)
-New movies(I haven't watched a good one in a while)
-How to stop being such a massive troll
-Who would win in a fight; A midget or Billy Madison
-Who would win in a fight; Billy Madison or the mascot that eats the cheerleaders
Ok. I'm done messing around. Seriously, though. If I'm a fan and I'm losing hope. What are some reasons that give me renewed hope in this team?

Ogando ready to start? Rangers waiting to see
By T.R. Sullivan / MLB.com
ARLINGTON -- The Rangers, after revamping their rotation over the weekend, won't need their fifth starter before next Tuesday against Tampa Bay. That gives the club time to decide if Alexi Ogando is ready to return to the rotation.
Ogando still hasn't been stretched out as a starter, but he did earn a victory in relief Sunday, holding the Angels scoreless for 1 1/3 innings as the Rangers rallied for a 4-3 victory. He threw 23 pitches and hasn't started since Aug. 13.
Nick Tepesch started Sunday and allowed two runs on four hits in 3 1/3 innings. He walked one, struck out five and one of the runs scored after Tepesch left the game after giving up a one-out single to Mark Trumbo in the fourth. The Angels scored two that inning after reliever Joseph Ortiz gave up a couple of doubles.
"I thought Tepesch did a great job," manager Ron Washington said. "We'll just see how it goes. I wouldn't be shocked if Ogando starts a game and I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't start a game. Ogando has always been a candidate to start, but he just came off the disabled list. He's got to face hitters and then we'll make a decision."
A decision on the fifth starter will be crucial down the stretch. The Rangers were able to switch around their rotation because they are off Thursday. But that is their last day off. Beginning Friday, they play 17 straight days down to the end of the season and they will need a fifth starter for three of those games.
Martin likely to remain at bottom of order
ARLINGTON -- The Pirates had a right-hander on the mound against the Rangers on Monday night, but that still didn't bring manager Ron Washington to put Leonys Martin back in the leadoff spot. Martin was dropped to No. 9 on Sunday with a left-hander on the mound for the Angels and will likely stay there for the rest of the season.
"I just felt going down the stretch he was trying to do too much," Washington said. "I decided to take some pressure off him. He has never played into September like this."
Martin responded to the demotion by going 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in a 4-3 victory over the Angels on Sunday.
"I still have the same mental approach, try to start a rally, try to get on base and try to score a run," Martin said. "I don't change my mental approach. This is September, but I'm still strong mentally. I feel confident every day and every game."
Washington is willing to move Ian Kinsler back into the leadoff spot because he feels good about Alex Rios moving up into the third spot. Rios, who was acquired from the White Sox on Aug. 9, was 9-for-21 with three home runs on the last road trip and went into Monday's game against the Pirates hitting .297 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in 26 games with the Rangers.
"I had fallen into some bad habits in Chicago and had to make some adjustments," Rios said. "It's been working lately. It's about how I feel, not about mechanics. As you get that feel, good things happen. You start driving the ball and connecting with more power."
Adduci starts over Murphy, but suffers biceps strain
ARLINGTON -- Rangers left fielder Jim Adduci left Monday night's game against the Pirates with a right biceps strain in the fifth inning.
Adduci struck out swinging against Gerrit Cole to end the inning and held his right arm on his way to the dugout. He is listed as day to day.
David Murphy replaced Adduci in left to start the sixth. Adduci was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts batting eighth in his third career start.
Adduci started in left instead of Murphy on Monday with the Rangers facing a right-hander. Both are left-handed hitters and this is the third time Adduci has started over Murphy in the last six games against a right-handed starter for the opponent.
Adduci, who was called up at the beginning of the month, went into Monday's game with three hits and a walk in nine plate appearances.
"Obviously David is struggling," manager Ron Washington said. "I just want to see what Adduci can do. He gives you a good at-bat, he can run and he can play the outfield. Today I decided to go with him and see what happens."
Murphy went into Monday's game hitting .178 over his last 19 games, and his .221 batting average is the third lowest among American League qualifiers.
"That's not going to change the amount of fight that's in me," Murphy said. "I know I might not get the amount of playing time down the stretch that I'd like, but I still feel that I can help the team and contribute when I get a chance. I'm going to keep fighting every day to find my swing and get to a point where if I am in the game and get at-bats, that those are going to be good at-bats and hopefully I'll contribute."
Soto, not Pierzynski, behind plate for Darvish
ARLINGTON -- Geovany Soto was behind the plate with Yu Darvish on the mound Monday night. A.J. Pierzynski had been the starting catching in seven straight games with Darvish on the mound, but was at designated hitter Monday.
Manager Ron Washington said the decision had nothing to do with any disagreements Darvish and Pierzynski may have had in his previous start against the Athletics last week.
"I didn't think of that," Washington said before Monday's game. "[Soto] did a good job [Sunday] and I thought I'd throw him a bone. No matter which one I catch, they both do a good job. Today I decided to go with Soto."
Soto was 2-for-3 on Sunday. Pierzynski said he has no issues with Darvish.
"Darvish and I are fine," Pierzynski said. "There's nothing there. That's it. Wash has been wanting me to take a couple of DH days and Geo had a couple of good at-bats [Sunday]."
With Pierzynski at DH, Lance Berkman was out of the lineup for the fifth straight game. He has not played since going a combined 0-for-6 last Monday and Tuesday against the Athletics.
"I understand it," Berkman said. "At this point in the season, you really can't afford to let a guy get his feet wet again when you're trying to win every game that's so crucial and you've had guys that have been in there playing pretty well. I understand it. The competitor in you obviously wants to be a part of things, but by the same token, I don't hold any grudges on anything that's gone on. It's just the circumstances of a playoff chase."
Worth noting
• Pirates manager Clint Hurdle, who was the Rangers hitting coach in 2010, on facing his old team and manager Ron Washington: "I love him [Wash]. There's nothing I don't like about Wash. One of the most satisfying opportunities I've had in my professional career, to come and work for him. To help him push through a challenging season for him. He's all in, all the time. Trust, honesty -- it was easy. A great group of guys, as soon as we leave town, I'll wish him well."
• Washington on what Hurdle has meant to the Pirates: "They have some talent over there and the one thing Clint has always been able to do is communicate. He has always been able to get the best out of his personnel whether it's as a hitting coach or as a manager. He's a well-prepared guy and very studious. He knows the opposition in and out and he knows his team in and out. The general manager and ownership have given him what he needs and he's done a great job in three years. I'm not surprised. Clint has always been a tremendous baseball guy."
• Pitcher Matt Harrison underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery Monday. Dr. Greg Pearl performed the surgery and Harrison is expected to be ready for Spring Training.
