Sharktopus (UK - DVD R2)
Marcus watches a movie that sadly missed out on the Oscars this year...
A top secret experiment run by Dr. Nathan Sands (Eric Roberts) that ingeniously genetically engineered a half-shark, half-octopus, has gone wrong and Puerto Vallarta is now getting its local beach dwellers picked off by the deadly Sharktopus.
Sharktopus. Just the title alone tells you all you need to know about this movie right? You know you're in for bad acting, bad effects and some hammy visuals. Well you'd be right.
Sharktopus is all of that and so much more. Really the movie comes down to some Baywatch style acting from Eric Roberts and his "experts" and to break the monotony of that up, we get scene after scene of terrible actors getting picked off by some of the worst effects ever committed to our screens—and when I say terrible actors, I'm underplaying just how terrible they are. As an example, at one point, while being strangled by a sharktopus tentacle a character actually screams out "NO, NOT LIKE THIS!!" before being dragged into the ocean. Oh and you need to see the over-acting involved when anyone is being attacked by the shaktopus's tentacles to be believed. It's not unlike how someone looks when they're terrible at hula hooping.
In amongst all that, there's plenty of bikini clad ladies on the beach sunbathing or splashing about, an over chirpy radio DJ's assistant (once again bikini clad) and of course some running and screaming girls...and you guessed it, they're in bikinis. Sharktopus certainly has its targeted audience in mind throughout and despite having nearly nothing good to say about this flick, its makers certainly have a keen understanding of the balance between sharktopus screentime and half naked girls (now if they could have only reduced the amount of nonsense science talk).
I know it's weird to say it but I went into this movie with high hopes. With a title like Sharktopus and a cover image that frickin' stupid, I was looking forward to something to tickle the silly side of my movie enjoyment. Sadly this story of scientific atrocity gone wrong didn't really do anything but embarrass itself and while I know watching this with a group of mates could maybe make it a bit more manic genius, Sharktopus just didn't get bad enough to transcend into being good.
Well I mentioned Baywatch earlier and to stick to that comparison Sharktopus doesn't look unlike a nineties TV show. For a sunny location, everything feels pretty drab and the grainy image sort of shows off its griminess when the uber clean (barely detailed) sharktopus turns up in all its computer generated badness.
Really the movie comes down to two visual styles. In the bright outdoors or in the open water, the transfer looks bright and grainy and very Saturday afternoon TV show-esq, and in the exterior scenes (usually on boats) it looks even grainier, grimy and like a really low budget movie. All in all, the transfer is about as good as you'd expect from a movie called Sharktopus.
I almost wish this didn't have a Dolby Digital 5.1 track because then I wouldn't have to hear that horrifically bad synth score in my rear speakers from time to time. For the most part the entire track lives in the fronts speakers and it's about as standard a track as you'd expect. Dialogue, music and sound effects are all just there. None of the elements are doing anything exciting; it's just a simple case of the volume going up when the sharktopus action kicks off. There's the odd flutter of a boat engine chugging away in one or both of the rear speakers but really this isn't a track that thrives off of the 5.1 mix.
All there are in extras is the trailer. What, no fifty minute documentary about the time and effort that went into designing and rendering that sharktopus? Or even an introduction from an in awe of Sharktopus James Cameron? Denied!
There's no point beating round the genetic freak that is Sharktopus. This movie is shit and I'm pretty sure all involved know it. Of course no one's ever going to watch a good movie called Sharktopus, so at least the title lets you know up front what you're in for, so anyone out there who wants to watch a movie with the tagline " 50% Shark, 50% Octopus, 100% Deadly" knows what's in store, but this reviewer thought it should have been even worse in order for it to be better (if that's even possible).

Girls in bikinis probably make this movie better than Corman's other movie, Dinocroc vs. Supergator. Anyway, we do need this kind of movie once in a while.

Eh. I don't understand the point of Corman's movies, when we have better, and more well-made films such as "Piranha 3D" and "Machete". They're tongue-in-cheek, but made with the best intentions. Shoot, "Drive Angry 3D" wasn't too bad either.

I agree with Dumb Dealer that "we do need this kind of movie once in a while." (though Sharktopus didn't do it for me) but you do have a point horrorfan25, with the whole Grindhouse thing there's a whole goofier fanbase that's being catered for pretty well. And yeah I thought Drive Angry was pretty good too.
Dumb Dealer Member Join Date: October 2008 Location: Indonesia Posts: 227
Well, horrorfan, 'Drive Angry' and 'Piranha' are big-budgeted theatrical(3D?) movies, while 'Sharktopus' and the aforementioned 'Dinocroc vs Supergator' are tiny-budgeted DTV movies. So, it's obvious that the former group are made with better intention than the later. They're on different level.
The point is, movies like Sharktopus is a good TV-watch on a boring friday night while movies like Piranha(3D?) is a good theater-watch or rental.
I like Drive Angry(3D?)too. I'll buy the Blu when it came out. Soon, I hope.

Cambodia on Track to Eliminate New HIV Infections by 2020, WHO Says
May 13, 2013
"Cambodia is on track to become one of the few countries in the world to successfully reverse its HIV epidemic and may eliminate new infections by 2020, the [WHO] said Friday," Agence France-Presse reports. "The Southeast Asian nation has reduced its HIV prevalence rate from a 1998 peak of 1.7 percent among people aged 15-49 to 0.7 percent in 2012 across the whole population, the WHO said in a joint statement with the Cambodian health ministry," the news agency writes. Almost 75,000 people are living with HIV in Cambodia, but "new infections have dropped from around 15,500 annually in the early 1990s to about 2,100 in 2009 and 1,000 in 2011, the statement said," AFP notes. However, the statement "cautioned the 2020 target could be missed without continued investment in HIV prevention and care for the sick," the news agency states, noting, "External partners fund 90 percent of the country's AIDS program, which costs just over $50 million a year" (5/10).

Category:Playpen balls
(Redirected from Playpen balls)
Playpen balls are found in a Ball pit and are a symbol of childhood. Many people grew up playing in playpens filled with these balls. Unfortunately, many people believe that in order to "grow up" they have to cast off all of these fun items. Randall takes a different stance, growing up is merely being able to appreciate all the fun things better.
China currently holds the record for the worlds largest ballpit: a swimming pool filled with 1 million balls.

Milton Prince lists premiums, price and a philosophy that aims for the top third of the market, as the main reasons Quality Cotton Cooperative has grown.
Now in its fourth year, Quality Cotton Cooperative, based in Plymouth, N.C., has some 300 growers and is affiliated with some 20 gins. Cargill Cotton, Inc is currently employed by the co-op to market around 93,000 acres of cotton in North Carolina and Virginia.
The cooperative began in 2000 as an effort of Coastal Carolina Gin to improve cotton marketing for its growers. In that time period, it's seen prices go through the roof and down the drain.
"When we started in 2001, growers were desperate to do something different," says Prince, the co-op's president. "When prices collapsed in the fall of 2000, many farmers put their cotton on a basis contract and the prices kept falling. Some of them rode the market all the way to the bottom with a trail of margin calls along the way."
Four years later, Prince is more convinced than ever to the importance of belonging to a cooperative.
"You have to look at it over the long haul," Prince says.
"When you do that, you'll see the performance of a cooperative is much better than most growers could do by marketing the cotton themselves."
Noting some dissatisfaction among members last year, Prince says that "when cotton is 75 cents a pound anyone can market it. But when the market is ranging from the 30s to the 50s, an individual would have to get into the future's market and that requires deep pockets.
Prince says the co-op has been able to attract and increase its membership each year by offering premiums based on quality.
"Each grower is paid their own premium based on his cotton," Prince says, "not on what the whole pool averages." Debra Lyle, the co-op's manager says, "Premiums are paid yearly based on what the market is paying and in turn we give that back to our producers". "In addition to co-op premiums, our producers' individually receive any government premiums they are eligible for base on USDA classing. This year we will advance growers the loan rate of 53.30 plus 300 points equity, in addition to any government premiums and co-op premiums they may receive on their cotton", says Lyle. Lyle continues to say, "Our growers are happy to see, in there initial payment any government premiums, pool premiums and 300 points equity.
"We also strive to pay our producers as quickly as possible within two weeks from ginning. The grower is basically getting 85 to 90 percent of his money by the end of the calendar year and the balance is paid throughout the marketing year as the futures market offers opportunities."
Last year, the co-op paid an average premium of 2.32 cents per pound. "The premiums did not go into a pool," Prince says. "They were paid directly to the producer who grew the quality cotton."
Similarly, the cooperative individually takes out the first month warehouse charges from the initial advance. The practice allows growers to find the least expensive, yet approved, place to store their cotton and save money for himself and in the long run the co-op as a whole.
Bypassing merchants, the co-op's cotton marketer is able to sell to the mills around 250 points above the futures price, versus a situation where cotton is marketed through merchants. "That's a 550 to 600-point swing in basis right there," Prince says "We still have to pay a marketing fee, but it's nowhere near the shift in basis and we offer premiums." Lyle says "we also export around 50 percent of our crop allowing us to benefit from Step II money when available."
Prince says: "It gets back to our philosophy. We know we're not always going to be able to capture the top of the market, but if we can get in the top third of the market, we'll do okay in the long run."
He offers last year as an example. The market jumped based on China's involvement. "If you were doing any kind of conscientious marketing, that jump was hard to capture."
Going back to its first year of operation, Prince cites another benefit that continues today. The co-op redeems cotton from under the loan with certificates, which do not affect payment limitations. "There's a $75,000 payment limit on LDP money per entity," Prince says. "If you look at our first year, it would have taken a grower only 535 bales to hit their payment limit since we averaged 28 cents per pound on LDP monies."
In marketing of its growers' cotton, Quality Cotton Cooperative strives to keep expenses to a minimum. They have a small office in Plymouth, N.C. with two full-time employees. "We try to get the most money back to the growers as soon as possible," Prince says.

All In The Family... Life in Kansas...
Last night, a huge, deadly tornado hit the little town of Greensburg, Kansas. A number of people lost their lives, and most of the town was destroyed.
Greensburg is about an hour-and-a-half drive from where my brother and sister-in-law live, but if you could drive in a straight line between the two points, it would be about sixty miles.
My sister-in-law works for an oilfield supply company. I suppose her title is "Chief Financial Officer" or something like that. She's relatively important.
Anyway, one of the company's stores is in a little Kansas town called Coldwater, which is south of Greensburg, and last night, Kathy had to attend a night-time company function in Coldwater. She reserved a motel room in Greensburg because she was afraid she'd get sleepy driving home.
After she got to the motel room and collapsed in bed, she turned on the TV and heard the warnings that bad weather was headed straight for Greensburg. She decided to get back up, get dressed, and drive home.
The tornado hit Greensburg about half an hour after Kathy left.
My brother told me this story today. I think he was a bit shaken.

Hubert, Kansas State run over UMass for 37-7 win
September 15, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — John Hubert ran for 118 yards, Kip Daily returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown and Kansas State rolled to a 37-7 victory over Massachusetts on Saturday night.
Jake Waters added 115 yards passing and two touchdowns for the Wildcats (2-1), who tuned up for the start of Big 12 play by pulling away from the Minutemen (0-3) before halftime.
After falling behind 7-6 at the end of the first quarter, Kansas State piled up 233 yards and scored three unanswered touchdowns in the second. Daniel Sams ran for the first score, Robert Rose ran 26 yards for the second, and Hubert's 43-yard touchdown catch made it 27-7 at the half.
The Wildcats coasted from there, turning their attention toward next week's game at Texas.

Part Lego, part Arduino, part BoeBot, this is Frankenfollower. This robot was programmed in ROBOTC for Arduino, a port that is still in alpha stage of development but can be used quite nicely for programming the Arduino Duemilenova. Other Arduino variants will be supported very soon.
The Arduino port of ROBOTC has some really cool features:
- Easy to use sensor and motor configuration UI
- Breakpoints and a debugger
- Ability to watch your variables live
- Multiple tasks (4 at the time of writing)
I've taken some pictures of the UI, so you can have a look. Please note that the appearance of these UIs will probably change before the final version, so keep that in mind.
So as you can see, it's all quite functional at the moment. I've made a small video with some additional pictures of Frankenfollower and some footage of it in action.
I'm sure I'll expand on Frankenfollower in the next few weeks, so keep an eye out on my blog!

Hey guys, long time reader, first time poster :P This isn't really a proper review, because I no longer have the boxes (binned them instantly) and I've already put the instructions and stuff in the loft, so it's just a few thoughts on the sets
I've been basically absent entirely from Lego since Revenge of the Sith, but I've always kept up with the latest news on FBTB - Big fan of the site - and I'm not really back into buying proper now, but I do enjoy reading about the sets and some of the cool stuff they've got coming out. Basically I made my first lego purchase (barring a couple of Jack Sparrows from ebay) in 7 years to assemble some lego Avengers, because I am just unbelievably psyched for the movie and the sets look pretty cool.
(For what it's worth, I bought the sets from Argos in the UK, they went on sale there yesterday, they show up online though not necessarily on the little stock checkers in store yet, but if they're in stock online and you write the number down they'll get em for you =D)
I knew when I first saw the sets I would have to get Loki's Cosmic Cube escape. It has Iron Man for one, who's my favourite hero, but also comes with a sweet truck plus Hawkeye and Loki who also look pretty cool. I picked up Cap too, mostly because I want to get the main trio of Cap, Iron Man and Thor (I'll probably get Thor on ebay, not likely to pick up the sets he's in at their current price, cool as they look).
So starting with the minifigures, they all look great. I'd say Loki probably looks the most impressive, even though he's the only one with no back printing or second face (I really wish he'd had a smirking face at least, but never mind) His cloak is a nice vibrant green and his staff is impressive too, made of a crescent scepter with a dagger-like piece stuck in the top. The helmet is of a softer rubbery plastic, probably because of the horns, but you're really have to work hard to poe your eye on it since they curve all the way back (which is technically not film-accurate, but looks incredibly cool). The Cosmic Cube itself is pretty weak, just a clear block, it should at least be translucent blue to be film-accurate (right now it looks like the fake cube from The First Avenger) but maybe that would've been too close to Iron Man's repulsor effects, and considering the fact it didn't even need to be included at all (assuming the set was just Loki's Escape) it's a nice extra and it's kind of grown on me.
Iron Man is one that's polarised a lot of people with his "oversized helmet" (don't say it!) but in person it's not that much larger than a standard racing helmet really. It's also neat that lego made it two pieces, instead of one. I guess it was to show off the Stark face (comes in smirking and angry varieties) without forcing you to swap the helmet for hair (sadly not included). He's got leg printing and back printing, all looking like the mark VI from Iron Man 2. The repulsor effects are surprisingly good too (though also inaccurate, since only Iron Man's chest and eyes are blue in the films, his repulsors and jets shine yellow, but this is much nicer looking so it's acceptable). When I first saw them I thought they looked kinda daft, but they really add to the swoosh factor of the figure, so much that I can't really have him fly without them now.
FInally Hawkeye. Arguably the "plainest" figure, but still very nice. I must confess I really don't like his second face without the shades. Maybe it's the ginger eyebrows, maybe it's the fact he looks weirdly old without them or maybe it's because the shades are just too cool, but I definitely won't be using that face anytime soon. Some have wondered why he has his quiver printed on his back instead of as a wearable piece and the answer is pretty simple: to let him sit in the truck. His new compound bow looks pretty nice too and Lego has correctly applied his archery glove to his left hand (Jeremy Renner's a lefty and thus draws with his left, not his right).
As for the truck itself, I've got to say it was an incredibly satisfying building experience. Granted I haven't built anything since the Jedi Intercepter nearly 7 years ago, but this was better than most builds I remember. It's a surprisingly densely build truck, the only empty space left at the end of the build is in the hood and the overall feel is incredibly sturdy. It's also nice and chunky-looking which is perfect for a military jeep. Sadly there are a few stickers, but if you're really against them I don't think that adding them loses much of the aesthetic. One thing I would briefly comment on is how the hood stick has little bullet holes on it, which is pretty cool.
Overall LCCE is a fantastic set and well worth the £19.99 I paid for it, if you're an Iron Man, Loki or Hawkeye fan, or you just want a cool new truck, I'd definitely recommend it.
As for Captain America's Avenging cycle... it's slightly more disappointing, but let's not kid ourselve, if you buy it, you're buying it for Cap and everything else is gravy. Cap himself is a nice figure, a deep shade of blue with dark red hands and printing on his front and back (none on the legs though) His shield is nice, if a little plain, it uses the unsegmented star from the comics rather than the segmented silver one from the film, but at such a small level that's just a fanboy quibble. The aliens with him are also very nicely detailed and kind of remind me of the old UFO sets from the late 90's, with the light green ships and those big grey helmets. It's hard to judge accuracy based on the trailers, but one thing that I only recently realised was that the heads are actually helmets and the blue-grey bodies are their skin and not the other way round (head's are bare, bodies armoured), in this light they seem fairly accurate, even the underslung gun seems to look like the on fired at Hulk in the latest TV Spot (Bodycount if you're interested). They're both fairly similar, but different enough to tell apart.
The buildable parts of the set are obviously the eponymous cycle and the aliens' ...I don't know what you'd call it, like a hover-skiff I guess, and gun turret. The cycle initially disappointed me when I saw pictures, since I much preferred Wolverine's bike but actually having it in-hand the bike is much more appealing. The addition of a clip on the back for Cap's shield is a nice touch too. The jet-hover-thing is also pretty cool and film-accurate from what I can tell. It also uses some blade-like pieces for decoration, but they can definitely be used as more weapons for the aliens which is nice. Sadly it needs the stickers supplied to really 'pop' design-wise, other wise it's quite a plain hover-thing. As a bit of connectivity, Loki looks equally impressive stood behind the controls too, which is a good alternative to Buying the Quinjet if you want Loki to have a ride of his own. The turret is pretty lame by comparison. Just a way to fill out the box. It looks nice enough, but mostly because of the pleasing gold colouring of the bricks, best used for a MOC than what it is.
While nowhere near as impressive as LCCE, CAAC is still a pretty nice set for what it is, with some cool minifigures and a decent hover-thing to go with them. It's still a recommend, but only for Cap fans or alien army builders.

It takes a lot of power to stop a moving trailer, especially when that trailer is hauling a heavy load. On RVs, flatbeds, livestock trailers and many other oversize haulers, manufacturers typically install trailer brakes to assist the tow vehicle in bringing such a massive amount of weight to a halt. But it takes more than a good set of brakes to make quick, efficient stops. It takes precision and the right amount of control.
The crown jewel of CURT's brake control lineup is the TriFlex™. This proportion-based brake control features a compact size, a digital display and the ability to manage up to eight brakes at a time. The feature that sets the TriFlex™ apart from all others is its triple-axis motion-sensing accelerometer. This integrated circuit component allows the TriFlex™ to detect every motion of your vehicle and trailer with exact precision and to then apply the perfect amount of braking power for every situation. The TriFlex™ also automatically adjusts brake output when going up or down a hill and is compatible with anti-lock brakes and cruise control. It comes with a mounting bracket and hardware and can be mounted at various angles on your vehicle''s dash. Best of all, like other CURT brake controls, the TriFlex™ is protected by a limited lifetime warranty.
All CURT brake controls are designed to work with quick plugs so that they can readily plug into your vehicle''s original equipment socket. They also include a mounting bracket and hardware for easy installation. A brake controller should be mounted somewhere on the dash of your vehicle, and we recommend putting it below the steering wheel, either on the right or left side of the steering column. This way the control will not block your view when driving, but it will remain accessible and visible when adjustment is needed.
CURT® Manufacturing has been a leader and innovator in the trailering industry since 1993. CURT markets a broad range of trailer hitches, towing systems and related accessories. CURT is "The First Name in Towing Products" for automobile and truck hitches, as well as RV and commercial towing systems. Products are marketed through retailers, distributors, installers, and e-tailers across the U.S. and Canada. CURT employs almost 350 associates, primarily at its manufacturing and headquarters in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. CURT operates 10 regional warehouses, each carrying over 2,500 items and has been twice named a Wisconsin "Manufacturer of the Year".

Madonna showed up at the Grammy Awards with her son David Ritchie -- the one she did NOT call the n-word ... and the one who just happens to be African.
Eight days after Madonna was ripped for posting a pic of Rocco Ritchie with "#disni**a" -- she walked the red carpet in L.A. tonight with 8-year-old David ... who was adopted from Malawi.
They even wore matching tuxes.
Of course Madonna apologized for using the n-word, saying it was not meant as a racial slur, and was intended to be a "term of endearment" to Rocco.
But c'mon, we gotta ask ...

Ohio downs Bowling Green, clinches 2-seed
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Reggie Keely scored 21 points and Ohio clinched a top-two seed in the Mid-American Conference tournament by defeating Bowling Green 78-65 Saturday.
The Bobcats (21-8, 12-2) set a new school record for league wins during a 16-game MAC schedule in capturing their first victory at Bowling Green since 2007. Ohio also posted a program-record 50 wins over the past two seasons.
The Bobcats led by 13 in the first half, but the Falcons (12-17, 6-8) surged ahead 40-39 with 17:13 left. Ohio pulled away with a 10-2 run, then maintained a five-point cushion.
Nick Kellogg added 16 points and Walter Offutt 12. D.J. Cooper had 10 points, including two 3-pointers to tie for first all-time at Ohio (259). Cooper's six assists gave him 907 for 12th place on the NCAA Division I list.
A'uston Calhoun's 24 points led Bowling Green, which also lost to the Bobcats 72-63 on Feb. 9.

"Without doubt the best jam I have ever tasted. I am not a fan of jam usually, but I got some as a gift and am now hooked. Its a jar full of fruit! Their relishes and chutneys are fantastic as well. They give a boring meal or sandwich a real kick. I love adding flavour to food and can't find fault with any of Berry King's products - except sometimes it's hard to find."

The Federal Government's recently-announced $308.8 million funding for the Digital TV Switchover Household Assistance Scheme includes the cost of digital TV set top boxes, installation (including possible antenna replacement), education and ongoing technical support for eligible recipients.
According to communications minister, Stephen Conroy, the Household Assistance Scheme aims to ensure that pensioners have equal access to digital TV services no matter where they live. "For most people, making the switch to digital television is straightforward and inexpensive. However, the Government recognises that some Australians, particularly the elderly, people with disabilities and their carers, may require assistance to switch to digital TV.
"The HAS, at no cost to eligible households, supplies a high-definition set-top box, installs it on the person's existing analog TV and demonstrates how to use the equipment," Senator Conroy said.
According to the Digital Switchover Household Assistance Scheme guidelines, the Scheme's aim is to assist those who are "most likely to have significant difficulties" switching over to digital TV from the existing analog TV system. Not everyone is eligible, to ensure the Government's money is spent as wisely as possible.
Eligibility: who can get assistance?
The digital TV switchover Household Assistance Scheme (HAS) will not be available to all Australians. Only citizens that are eligible for and receive the maximum rate of the Age Pension, Disability Support Pension, Carer Payment or Veteran's Pension and supplement will be eligible for the scheme.
These individuals must already own a functioning TV, but must not have already converted to digital TV — whether by buying a digital-ready LCD or plasma TV, or digital TV set-top box. Anyone with a borrowed digital-ready TV or set top box is ineligible for the scheme, and can only apply for the HAS once the borrowed item has been returned to its owner. Anyone without a functioning TV is ineligible for the HAS.
If anyone otherwise eligible for the scheme already has a TV or digital TV set top box that they own, they are ineligible for any assistance.
Every eligible individual can receive assistance from the scheme, except where there are two individuals living together in a couple-like relationship — in this case, when one citizen has received assistance the other is deemed to have received assistance as well.
Any citizens living in group housing — such as a nursing home or disability group house — are eligible for assistance, if they own their own TV. TVs belonging to the facilities in which they live will not be upgraded, and neither will antenna systems.
Any eligible individuals renting or living in a property they do not own are entitled to receive a set top box and installation, but no external antenna work. If the individual lives in an area only covered by satellite-based digital TV transmission, an external satellite receiver will be installed after written consent from the property's owner.
The HAS also runs alongside the Satellite Subsidy Scheme, and will allow eligible individuals in regional areas to have access to digital TV through a subsidy for the installation of VAST (Viewer Access Satellite Television) services.
Any individual deemed eligible will have to sign a declaration stating that they do not have access to digital TV, before the scheme delivers assistance. The Digital Switchover Taskforce and Centrelink, which administers the scheme, are able to make enquiries to ensure this declaration is true and correct.

Posted on September 3, 2013 in Miscellaneous Pro Tennis Talk Shoes and Apparel
After winning Wimbledon for the first time this year, Andy Murray enters the US Open as the defending champion and is looking to get another Grand Slam title under his belt in 2013. Already into the round of 16, let's see what gear he is using that has got him this far into the tournament.
His apparel: Andy is keeping his look sharp and simple on the court during the Open by wearing the adidas Barricade line. The Adipower Barricade Crew has a two-piece crew neck with contrast inserts, mesh along the upper back for increased ventilation and colorblocking with the Band of Power across the chest. This crew does a great job of keeping Murray cool despite the NYC summer sun and humidity. The Fall Barricade Woven Short in the 9.5″ length keeps this look simple and focuses on ventilation with the added mesh panels. To keep the sweat off his face and away from his grip, Andy uses adidas Large Wristbands. As far as shoes go, Andy is in the Barricade 7.0 to ensure stability, traction and support for all of his quick on-court movement.
His gear: Andy finds the perfect blend of feel and stability with his Head Youtek IG Radical Pro. This racquet gives him a lively, spin-friendly response from the baseline with a crisp controlled feel at the net. He has it strung up with the very popular ATP tour string, Luxilon ALU Power 16L, which gives him added controlled power and is a durable option. He uses Tourna Grip XL as his overgrip of choice to make sure he has a soft, yet absorbing grip throughout his matches. To carry all of his gear to the court, Andy uses his very own Head Murray MonsterCombi bag which is big enough to carry all of his racquets, apparel, and more.

Seton Hall's rally comes up short in 65-59 loss to No. 24 Cincinnati
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
NEWARK, N.J. – If college basketball games were only 33 minutes long, then perhaps Seton Hall would have a better chance of competing against the nationally ranked teams — or maybe even beating one.
It took about seven minutes to waste a chance to beat No. 24 Cincinnati, falling behind during a 29-5 run that spanned the halves — the Bearcats scored 15 points in a row to start the second — in a 65-59 loss Saturday.
"The last three minutes of the first half doomed us and the first four minutes of the second half doomed us," said Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard, who saw his team lose for the third straight time and seventh in eight tries in the Big East Conference.
"We're not coming out with enough energy in the second half," said Willard, who watched as his team went from being ahead 23-19 with 3:58 left in the first half, to trailing 48-28 with 15:02 remaining.
"We have to finish the first half strong, then come out strong," Willard said. "I have to say we're not getting it right now. We have a major issue with that."
The Pirates also realize that they have a problem.
"We have to dig deep and find some way somehow to get a win and turn this around," said Brandon Mobley, who came off the bench to tie Fuquan Edwin for team-high scoring honors with 16 points. "We have a great chunk of our season left. We have to do something to keep this from happening."
Edwin agreed.
"A lot of people are probably already counting us out, but we're right there," said Edwin, who scored 14 in the second half, when the Pirates mounted a ferocious comeback, cutting a 20-point lead down to four on two separate occasions. "Coach (Willard) is always harping on us that we can't come out flat. We have to pull through and find a way to get some wins. Our season is not over."
Sean Kilpatrick scored 21 points and Cashmere Wright added 17 as Cincinnati blew almost all of a 20-point lead before holding on for the Bearcats' fifth win in six games.
Cincinnati (18-4, 6-3 Big East) was up 48-28 5 minutes into the second half only to allow the Pirates (13-9, 2-7) to get within four points twice. The Bearcats, who entered the game 14th in the 15-team conference in free throw shooting at 64.9 percent, finished 21 of 27 (77.8 percent) from the line, including making eight of their last nine in the game.
"I thought we should have got to the line more but that's life on the road in this league," said Mick Cronin, who has a 200-116 record in 10 seasons as a head coach, 131-92 in seven seasons with the Bearcats.
Kilpatrick said the free throw shooting is getting better.
"Free throws are always big in close games and this conference is all about close games," said Kilpatrick who was 8 of 19 from the field and 5 of 15 from beyond the arc.
"Coach always tells me to keep shooting and I do and against a zone like they play there will be a lot of wide-open 3-pointers and we have a lot of guys who can make that shot."
Wright made all seven of his free throws and JaQuon Parker was 6 of 8 to lead the Bearcats.
The Bearcats scored the first 15 points of the second half — a run that had Willard call two timeouts in the opening 2:30. Kilpatricks's second 3 of the run — after he started 2 for 7 from beyond the arc — made it 48-28 with 15:02 left in the half.
Cincinnati had closed the first half on a 14-5 run and Wright had eight points, a 3-pointer, a traditional three-point play and two free throws.
Seton Hall took advantage of an offensive dry spell by the Bearcats to get as close as four points twice.
"In this league you're in always happy to get the 'W,'" Cronin said. "The great comeback from Seton Hall didn't surprise me, I expected it. We got the big lead too soon. I knew we would cool off eventually. I have veterans. Kevin doesn't."
Edwin made four straight free throws to cap a 17-2 run that made it 52-48 with 6:46 to play. Cincinnati had one field goal over a span of 13:28 — including missing 12 straight shots. The Pirates got to 56-52 with 3:12 to go on a 3-pointer by Mobley. But the Bearcats kept making their free throws to keep the Pirates at bay.

I recently attended an aerial firefighting conference in Rome, Italy. The food was great, the people are wonderful, but I managed somehow. Conference attendees came from all aspects of aerial firefighting. Great discussions were held in the conference itself and more importantly in the bar.
One bar comment comes from an observation over the last 40 years. I don't drink, not a big deal, I never did drink, but I have observed at conferences and the HAI Convention that more truth is spoken at 11 p.m. in the bar then at 11 a.m. on the convention floor. The hot issue at the conference was the use of night vision goggles (NVGs) for firefighting. I listened as various speakers and attendees discussed plans to incorporate NVG technology into their operations. This included Canadair CL-415 and Skycrane operations. Finally on the last day of the conference, I had to say something.
I know that comes as a shock to those of you that know me. What I said is this; Los Angeles City and County Fire Air Operations have conducted more night firefighting operations then the rest of the world put together. Los Angeles City doesn't use NVGs for firefighting. County pilots do use them for flights over dark terrain to and from the fire, but not on the actual drop itself.
The only pilot fatality that the Los Angeles County Fire Department has suffered in 53 years of service occurred in 1977 while conducting NVG operations on a fire. This accident occurred when the unit employed much different technology than we have today and is not a straight apples-to-apples comparison. The findings of the accident review board listed the mixing of two different agencies working from the same helispot as a major contributing factor to the accident.
I take from the report the following: the number of helicopters that can be utilized from one helispot should be limited to two, certainly not more than three and then only if they are from the same agency. The ability of the pilot to maintain spatial awareness of where other aircraft are located is greatly hampered at night.
Differences in protocols among agencies for separation and traffic patterns do not help the individual pilot's awareness of his flight environment. If you have a large fire and two independent helispots can be established with non-conflicted routing between the helispot and the respective flanks to be dropped on, the number of helicopters can increased accordingly. If two agencies are employed, separating the agencies to different helispots is very desirable.
Pilots must account for the higher risk element of night operations. Good moonlight, lots of ambient light from infrastructure, and a reasonable number of aircraft from a limited mix of agencies working on the fire all reduce risk. The gain side needs close attention. Will this operation save lives or property? Can the night operations add to the safety of firefighters on the ground? If the answer is no, and all we are going to do is put out weeds in the middle of nowhere, then I for one strongly believe that your risk versus gain is out of balance. Los Angeles County Air Operations evaluated night snorkel operations with its Firehawk aircraft.
The unit concluded that hovering four-to-eight feet over water at night with poor viability due to rotor wash was unduly risky. At night, Firehawks are filled with a fire hose off of an engine. I would caution others to take a hard look at this issue before committing to night snorkel operations. The idea of trying to scope on goggles with a Canadair aircraft off a lake, seems a bit sporty to me. But I am not a fixed-wing pilot so others will need to address that issue. I am a qualified helicopter coordinator and have worked helicopters and Canadair aircraft together on many occasions, and I would refuse to attempt it at night.
Several years ago, a pilot was quoted as saying that if he would have been allowed to conduct night operations in his Hughes 500 with a water drop bucket, he would have extinguished a Santa Ana-driven fire. Let's say that for once in my life I agree with Hillary Clinton, that pilot's comment "would require the willing suspension of disbelief." The fire went on to destroy hundreds of homes and the politicians grabbed his comment to try and vilify anyone who questioned night aerial firefighting operations. This was in an attempt to move the spotlight off of their own neglect of the issues at hand.
The fire pilot community has been trying to find balance on this issue ever since. The Los Angeles County Fire pilot who died in that accident was Tom Grady. Let's hope Tom is the only one that pays the price for the lessons learned.

I am wondering about the logic behind preventing two websites from having the same domain name -- when the IP addresses on which to listen are different. I'm sure someone is thinking, "Why would you ever want to do that?" I want to do it because I am migrating a website from one IP address to another IP address -- on the same server/ISPConfig installation. Ideally, I would create identical websites -- one on each IP address -- so that once I update the DNS record (hosted externally), it doesn't matter which IP address the site-visitor hits when he visits the domain in question. The user experience should be the same for each IP address. Is there a technical reason for which Apache cannot accommodate this setup? Wouldn't it be perfectly valid to do something like this in the Apache configuration? Code: <VirtualHost 184.108.40.206> DocumentRoot /www/example ServerName www.example.com </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost 184.108.40.206> DocumentRoot /www/example ServerName www.example.com </VirtualHost> If I try that locally, Apache does not throw warnings/errors, and pages continue to be served from localhost without issue. Thanks for any insights.

[Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: William J. Clinton (1995, Book I)] [May 3, 1995] [Pages 633-634] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office www.gpo.gov]
Message to the Congress Transmitting Proposed Legislation To Combat Terrorism May 3, 1995 To the Congress of the United States: Today I am transmitting for your immediate consideration and enactment the ``Antiterrorism Amendments Act of 1995.'' This comprehensive Act, together with the ``Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995,'' which I transmitted to the Congress on February 9, 1995, are critically important components of my Administration's effort to combat domestic and international terrorism. The tragic bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19th stands as a challenge to all Americans to preserve a safe society. In the wake of this cowardly attack on innocent men, women, and children, following other terrorist incidents at home and abroad over the past several years, we must ensure that law enforcement authorities have the legal tools and resources they need to fight terrorism. The Antiterrorism Amendments Act of 1995 will help us to prevent terrorism through vigorous and effective investigation and prosecution. Major provisions of this Act would: Permit law enforcement agencies to gain access to financial and credit reports in antiterrorism cases, as is currently permitted with bank records. This would allow such agencies to track the source and use of funds by suspected terrorists. Apply the same legal standard in national security cases that is currently used in other criminal cases for obtaining permission to track telephone traffic with ``pen registers'' and ``trap and trace'' devices. Enable law enforcement agencies to utilize the national security letter process to obtain records critical to terrorism investigations from hotels, motels, common carriers, storage facilities, and vehicle rental facilities. Expand the authority of law enforcement agencies to conduct electronic surveillance, within constitutional safeguards. Examples of this increased authority include additions to the list [[Page 634]] of felonies that can be used as the basis for a surveillance order, and enhancement of law enforcement's ability to keep pace with telecommunications technology by obtaining multiple point wiretaps where it is impractical to specify the number of the phone to be tapped (such as the use of a series of cellular phones). Require the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms to study the inclusion of taggants (microscopic particles) in standard explosive device raw materials to permit tracing the source of those materials after an explosion; whether common chemicals used to manufacture explosives can be rendered inert; and whether controls can be imposed on certain basic chemicals used to manufacture other explosives. Require the inclusion of taggants in standard explosive device raw materials after the publication of implementing regulations by the Secretary of the Treasury. Enable law enforcement agencies to call on the special expertise of the Department of Defense in addressing offenses involving chemical and biological weapons. Make mandatory at least a 10-year penalty for transferring firearms or explosives with knowledge that they will be used to commit a crime of violence and criminalize the possession of stolen explosives. Impose enhanced penalties for terrorist attacks against current and former Federal employees, and their families, when the crime is committed because of the employee's official duties. Provide a source of funds for the digital telephony bill, which I signed into law last year, ensuring court-authorized law enforcement access to electronic surveillance of digitized communications. These proposals are described in more detail in the enclosed section-by-section analysis. The Administration is prepared to work immediately with the Congress to enact antiterrorism legislation. My legislation will provide an effective and comprehensive response to the threat of terrorism, while also protecting our precious civil liberties. I urge the prompt and favorable consideration of the Administration's legislative proposals by the Congress. William J. Clinton The White House, May 3, 1995.

The Klint™ typeface family, from Berlin-based typeface designer Hannes von Döhren, is a design that blends a technical demeanor with humanistic warmth. Add in its wide range of weights and proportions, and exceptionally versatile character set, and the result is a distinctive and powerful communications tool.
The Klint™ typeface family offers precision with subtle humanist touches. Designed by Berlin-based typeface designer Hannes von Döhren, Klint appears at first glance to be hard edged, square shouldered, straightforward sans serif. But look at Klint more closely and you will notice that there is more to the design. The stroke weights have an understated modulation, and quiet curves soften the angular aspect of many characters. The lowercase 's' is a perfect example of this careful design intonation. It seems to be constructed of simple squared-off shapes, but the top entry and bottom exit strokes are gentle curves. Other characters – like the 'k,' 'R' and 't' – also have lively exit strokes. Klint's italic designs are more than a simple obliqued roman; they present true cursive overtones.
At large sizes, especially in the bolder weights, Klint communicates with authority. Its distinctive character shapes and proportions make for a design that does not overpower the message and draws the reader in. At smaller sizes, Klint remains remarkably legible, thanks to the design's large x-height, open counters and stroke modulation.
Klint is also an exceptionally comprehensive family. It offers five weights (from light to black), each in three widths (standard, condensed and extended), all with italic counterparts – a total of 30 typefaces in all. In addition, the complete family is available as a suite of OpenType Pro fonts, allowing graphic communicators to use this design while taking advantage of OpenType's capabilities. OpenType Pro fonts provide for the automatic insertion of small caps, ligatures and alternate characters, and also offer an extended character set supporting most Central European and many Eastern European languages. Rounding out Klint's range of characters are nine styles of figures – tabular and proportional lining figures, tabular and proportional old style figures, proportional small cap figures, numerators, denominators, superiors, and inferiors.
Klint is great for financial information, mathematical formulae and scientific tables.

There truly is nothing like Christmas morning when you're a kid. I mean, what's better than waking up to a room full of presents? Nothing!

So, to get us in the spirit for the insanity that's to occur at our homes Christmas morning, here are 6 hilarious Christmas morning reactions.

Jet Crashes and Burns
Kiss of the Dragon (20th Century Fox). Reviewers love Jet Li's fast fists but find the hackneyed plot of this chopsocky flick almost unbearable. Li is universally criticized for his lack of charisma when not breaking bones, and his suggested romantic rapport with co-star Bridget Fonda is deemed utterly unbelievable: "There's more physical chemistry between Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat than between these two" (Kenneth Turan, the Los Angeles Times). The film's raw brutality—chopsticks through throats, hot irons on faces—puts off some critics, but others say Li has "set a new standard for action" (Elvis Mitchell, the New York Times). (Here is Jet Li's site.)—J.F.
The Score (Paramount). Most critics love The Score: Rita Kempley of the Washington Post hails it as "sublime, a cunning heist movie that thrills the senses." Robert De Niro, as a retired thief reluctant to do one last heist for an old friend (a porcine but still regal Marlon Brando), continues to charm, even in his relative old age: He has the "gumption to grunt with exertion" (Kempley). Dissenting voices: A.O. Scott of the New York Times deems it "a spiritless, unimaginative exercise in professionalism for its own sake," an opinion shared by Slate's David Edelstein. (Read Edelstein's review here.)— S.G.
Legally Blonde (MGM). Critics find Legally Blonde guilty of being thin and pointless, though star Reese Witherspoon is pronounced too good for the movie; she's a "sharp, quick-witted Doris Day for our drab age" (A.O. Scott, the New York Times). The story of a bimbo who follows her snobby boyfriend to Harvard Law School only to become a legal eagle in her own right, the film is boring and predictable, save for Witherspoon's performance: "[T]he movie is a guilty pleasure and a half, but I wish it were better" (Stephen Hunter, the Washington Post). Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times calls it "Clueless Goes to Harvard," except "this is no Clueless." The movie's official site is here.— S.G.
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (20th Century Fox). Forget about plot, and just admire the animation here, critics say. Based on the video game with same name, this sci-fi flick is the first with completely computer-generated human leads. Though the characters do look real, romantic scenes are "about as involving as watching two expensive mannequins kissing in a Macy's window" (Kenneth Turan, the Los Angeles Times), and the dubbing is like a "Japanese creature feature from the 1960s" (Elvis Mitchell, the New York Times). While most see it as a "technical milestone" (Roger Ebert, the Chicago Sun-Times), some feel it's merely "a clever 106-minute promo for Sony's PlayStation II games" (Jay Epstein, the Wall Street Journal). (Click here for the movie's official site.)—M.C.
Up in the Air, by Walter Kirn (Doubleday). High praise for this wry third novel from GQ's literary critic. In it, a well-traveled protagonist, Bingham, dispenses with many customary amenities—family, friends, a home address—in favor of a lone pursuit: that millionth frequent-flyer mile of the year. Some critics see the influence of Kirn's day job on his writing, saying this glib account could only come out of the "self-awareness of a literary critic," (Janet Maslin, the New York Times). But they're impressed nonetheless: Bingham's "as original and cool a character to come along in literary fiction for a long time" (Christopher Buckley, the New York Times). Most impressively, Kirn's novel ably suggests that "the American dream has become sterile and meaningless" (John Freeman, the Wall Street Journal). And of course, there are heaps of airplane metaphors: "Sit back in your seat" (Buckley), "fasten your seatbelt" (Rudy Maxa, the Washington Post), and prepare to ascend. (Click here for an excerpt.)—D.N.

The Stardust Lounge: Stories From a Boy's Adolescence, by Deborah Digges (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday). This book, an award-winning poet's account of her son's descent into delinquency, draws somewhat mixed reviews. All critics say it's wrenching to see 13-year-old Stephen transform from sweet kid to teen-age thug, and they admire Digges' refusal to consider her son worthless despite his gun-toting and rabble-rousing. The book is "fascinating is its honesty," and USA Today's Carol Memmot is struck by how Digges sees the "rough times as an unavoidable part of her son's evolution from boy to man." But the book loses steam as Stephen slowly wends his way back toward the straight and narrow: "Digges declares victory too early" (Emily Fox Gordon, the New York Times), and "this account frequently seems as self-absorbed as Stephen himself" (Kirkus Reviews). (Read two of Digges' poems here.)— L.S.

CRESTVIEW � Commuters heading eastbound on James Lee Boulevard into Crestview may have noticed some construction work outside city limits.
CRESTVIEW � Commuters heading eastbound on James Lee Boulevard into Crestview may have noticed some construction work outside city limits.
Praise, Power and Compassion Ministries recently broke ground for a church at 2188 James Lee Blvd. The 16,000-square-foot facility, to be completed in December, will seat nearly 400 people and include Sunday school classrooms and a fellowship hall.
"It's an awesome feeling to see a vision come to pass," the Rev. Darrell Coleman, the church�s pastor, said. "Whenever a vision is fulfilled, it says a lot about the people involved."
The people whom Coleman was referring to are his congregation, nearly 160 people who attend services.
�Were small, but engaged,� Coleman said, referring to the church membership and its dedication.
�Funding for the (over 9-acre) property and the building wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the donations from within the ministry,� he said.
The fellowship hall should help those with more than spiritual needs, Coleman said.
"We have people that come in off the street who attend on Sunday morning," Coleman said, adding the ministry provides food and clothing to the area�s homeless.
The church membership also ministers to nursing home residents and performs gospel music for them. In addition, the church weekly ministers to Okaloosa County Jail inmates.
Coleman and Lula, his wife of 31 years, started the church in 2002 after moving to Crestview.
Praise, Power and Compassion is a "non-traditional, non-denominational ministry based in the infallible word of God," the ministry's website, ppcmin.com, states.
"Churches have a very orthodox way of doing things," Coleman said. "Were just a little bit different."
"I believe the spirit of God should dictate how the service should flow," he said.
Those interested in learning more should attend a service one Sunday, Coleman said.
Want to go?
Praise, Power and Compassion Ministries currently meets at 294 N. Main St. See ppcmin.com for more information.

Abby Keese slammed a three-run homer over the left field fence to give the Lady Bisons a 10-7 in the bottom of the eighth inning against Kennesaw State in the nightcap of an Atlantic Sun doubleheader. The win Saturday evening was the 100th of Peck's career and gave her an extra highlight for her 28th birthday.
"It was a great way to end the game," said Peck. "Abby's confidence has really been shooting up in the last couple of weeks. We need that from her."
In game one the Lady Bisons lost 3-1 to Kennesaw State in eight innings.
"We've got to understand that this is a long season," said Peck. "Kennesaw State came out and played well.
"Defensively, I wasn't very proud of the way we played. We are typically a strong defensive team. We got a little bit shaken at times. There were a lot of ugly plays."
The Lady Bisons have needed extra innings to decide three of their last four games. Until this weekend they had not played an extra inning game since beating North Carolina A&T 6-2 March 7.
In game two Keese led with a game-high four hits and five runs batted in, both a season and career high for her. She is tied with Courtney Billington for the team high for RBI in a game Billington drove in five runs at Western Carolina March 24.
Keese also leads the Lady Bisons in home runs with eight and RBI with 41.
Game two was a struggle for the Lady Bisons. After scoring two runs in the first inning on a double by Keese to center field and a single through the right side of the field by Mollie Mitchell the Lady Bisons allowed Kennesaw State to score six runs in the second inning.
The Lady Bisons added a run in the second and another in the third.
In the fifth Mitchell and Caroline Mason each doubled. Mitchell scored when Vanessa Medina flied out to center.
Kennesaw State added another run in the sixth for a 7-5 lead.
In the home part of the sixth the Lady Bisons tied the game with two runs. Billington led off with a double to center. Kellie Sirus followed with a double to left center, scoring Billington. Keese singled to right field to drive Sirus across the plate.
In the eighth Billington started things off with a single through the left side. Sirus was safe on an error by the second baseman setting the stage for the game-winning home run by Keese.
Five different Lady Bisons had doubles in the second game, also a season game high.
The Lady Bisons 17 hits tied the season high set at Western Carolina March 24.
"We knew we were going to keep getting pitches to hit," said Peck. "People that were getting out early in the game were hitting the ball pretty solid, but they were hitting the ball right at people.
"We didn't hit terrible in game one, but I think our approach was better in game two. We were more aggressive in game two."
Christen Campbell remained unbeaten at 10-0. She gave up eight hits. Only four of the runs she allowed were earned. She walked one and struck out seven.
In game one the Lady Bisons took an early lead with one run in the second inning when Campbell stole home.
Kennesaw State tied the game with one run in the seventh. They won the game with two runs in the eighth.
Lady Bisons pitcher Whitney Kiihnl, 14-7, allowed nine hits and three runs, all earned. She walked three and struck out eight.
"Expectations are a little bit higher for Whitney," said Peck. "Maybe that is a little unfair but I don't think it is. We feel like she is that special. She will learn from this.
"We would have preferred the sweep, but the fact that we got down in game one and kept fighting. Our bats finally came alive."
The Lady Bisons are 32-11 overall, 10-4 in the A-Sun. Kennesaw State is 19-25, 5-11 in the A-Sun.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indianapolis Colts have a rookie quarterback, an interim coach, a long injury list and one of the league's youngest teams.
It's not supposed to be a winning combination in the NFL, yet somehow Indianapolis finds itself making a surprise playoff push as the calendar turns toward December. And as the stakes increase, the Colts seem immune to late-season pressure.
They just expect to win.
``It's worked this far,'' interim coach Bruce Arians said Monday. ``Just because it's December, the price of poker has gone up but the process is still the same.''
Indy's veterans never bought into the conventional wisdom they had to be patient for this rebuilding project to work. Instead, Pro Bowlers like Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis immediately showed their cards by rejecting any mention of the R-word during the offseason.
The rest of the team went all in with the same message, even if everyone else considered it nothing more than a bluff.
There was good reason for doubts.
At this time last season, the Colts were still winless and positioning themselves to win the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes. They finished a dismal 2-14, then blew up one of the NFL's most stable organizations by firing vice chairman Bill Polian, general manager Chris Polian, coach Jim Caldwell, releasing Peyton Manning and cutting ties with a handful of other key veterans.
Twelve months later, with Luck behind center, only four AFC teams have better records than Indy (7-4) and the postseason has become a real possibility.
``All of our dreams are still alive. We write our own destiny and that's the biggest thing,'' defensive end Cory Redding said after Indy's latest victory, 20-13 over Buffalo. ``We don't have to rely on anybody else to get a win or get a loss. Our destiny is in our hands. It's up to us to just continue to do what we're doing, keep playing hard, keep working hard to just continue to stack wins and stay in this hunt.''
The secret to the Colts' success is simple: They are 5-1 at home, 6-1 in one-possession games and have not lost back-to-back games all season.
Luck is still on pace for a historic rookie year and has already matched the rookie win total of Sam Bradford, the No. 1 pick and NFL offensive rookie of the year in 2010.
Wayne is charging toward the best statistical season of his NFL career at the age of 34.
And even the usually-maligned defense has continued to show improvement despite losing both of its starting cornerbacks to injuries during the past month and playing most of this season without Freeney and Mathis on the field at the same time. On Monday, Arians announced the Colts had lost yet another key contributor - defensive tackle Fili Moala, who is expected to go on season-ending injured reserve with a torn ACL.
Since coach Chuck Pagano took an indefinite leave to battle leukemia, the Colts are 6-2 and Arians has moved into a tie for seventh all-time in victories by coaches who have taken over during the season.
Some are already lobbying for Luck to be the rookie of the year, first-year general manager Ryan Grigson to be executive of the year and, yes, Arians as coach of the year.
But none of this has fazed the Colts.
``We understand the position we're in, but again, nothing has been accomplished yet,'' Luck said.
With five games to play, the Colts are in good position, too.
They are currently the AFC's No. 5 seed, one game ahead of Cincinnati and Pittsburgh and at least two games ahead of everyone else in the playoff hunt.
Their remaining schedule includes three teams with losing records - Detroit (4-7) on Sunday, home against Tennessee (4-7) the following week and a Dec. 13 date at Kansas City. The other two games are against Houston, including the regular-season finale. By then the Texans may have clinched the conference's top seed and the Colts could have Pagano back on the sideline.
Still, Arians realizes it won't be an easy path.
``We're the type of team, we're going to be in a lot of close games and fortunately we've found a lot of ways to win them,'' he said. ``The big thing for us is to go on the road and protect the football and play good defense and bring those special teams with us on the road and see if we can play our best football on the road.''

The glass services company honors military veterans all year round by offering service members a discount of 25 percent off the franchise fee, allowing veterans to use their training and operational skills in a new civilian career.
"The Military Friendly Franchises® list was created three years ago out of demand from military veterans, many of whom want to start or own their own business but are unclear where to begin," said Sean Collins, director for G.I. Jobs. "Being selected as a Military Friendly Franchise places Glass Doctor in this elite group, and is testimony to Glass Doctor's world class programs and policies that support military veterans interested franchise opportunities."
Glass Doctor is also a member of IFA's VetFran strategic iniative, which includes more than 400 IFA franchisor member companies offering financial incentives, training and mentoring to veterans interested in small business ownership and/or a career path in franchising. VetFran was founded by the IFA in 1991 in an effort led by The Dwyer Group® founder Don Dwyer, Sr., to support veterans returning from the Gulf War transition to the civilian economy.
