He totalled 520 runs at an average of 65. The batting star in 1991 for the Under 13's was Scott Richardson with 702 runs at an average of 78 including 3 hundreds and a 99. Andrew Flintoff also scored a century managing 294 runs in total. Stuart Hornby took 38 wickets. The Under 14's in 1991 played two friendlies before travelling to Harrow School for the annual Festival. Mark Chilton was captain and topped the batting averages. He was ably supported by the younger Scott Richardson and Andrew Flintoff. The Under 15 season, badly affected by weather, saw the talents of Lee Marland and Philip Neville continue to blossom. Lee scored 602 runs and Philip 417. David Howard with 18 wickets and Charlie Dagnall with 14 were the pick of the bowlers. The Under 19's had a very successful season winning seven matches. Graham Knowles topped the batting averages and Glen Chapple the bowling. John Ratledge was the captain. 1992 At Under 15 level this was the year when Philip Neville played his last game for Lancashire. His final innings was against Yorkshire on June 30th 1992 at Burnley Cricket Club when against a very strong bowling attack in far from easy conditions he scored 125. Whenever Lancashire and Yorkshire meet at Under 15 level even now that innings still gets talked about. Keith Webb took over as captain after that match and was well supported by Andrew Flintoff who scored a century against Warwickshire. 1993 In the 1993 LYC Year Book Derek Day looked back on 34 years of being in charge of the Under 15 county team and selected his best ever squad of 15. His squad was:- Michael Atherton (Capt.); Michael Hardcastle; Glen Chapple; John Crawley; Keith Eccleshare; Frank Hayes; Andrew Kennedy; Andrew Flintoff; Kevin Hayes; Graham Mooney; Philip Neville; Bernard Reidy; Hughie Ritchie; David Schofield; Chris Scott (Wkt). That was quite some squad. Three batsmen topped 500 runs for the Under 15's in 1993 – quite an achievement. At the top of the list was a certain Andrew Flintoff with 657 runs and a top score of 118 against Durham. The manager Derek Day in his report said "I consider myself fortunate to have seen Andrew in South Africa, for Lancashire, for the North of England and for ESCA score in excess of 1,600 runs at an average of 60 over the past 12 months. If he continues in this vein one wonders what he might achieve in the future." It is worth noting at this point that Andrew had not bowled for two years. Scott Richardson scored 555 runs and in Derek's view – "It will be interesting to see Scott's progress in years to come as he has the talent and application to become an excellent player." I have often wondered one day whether I will be asked to put together my team of teams. I have many memories of a good number of the players Derek named. It will be my intention to make my final list of LSCA players since 1984 available as a download as I am sure I have not been able to name everyone. There was a period of time when we kept very detailed lists but there are significant years where the facts are few and far between. I have been able to gather together a large archive of pictures some of which I have shared with you. I would love to build this up even further. If you have any pictures which you think would be useful please pass them on. I would happily receive printed copies for me to scan and return the originals. The best way would be for them to come via email as "jpeg" versions, colour or black and white. For a brief time recently I was involved in an email conversation with a fellow Aberystwyth University colleague who is a parent of one of our current players. We did go in slightly different generations but could still talk with affection about the place. It's amazing how the "memory" cells can be activated in these instances. Talking of famous sportsmen how about this for a story …. Aberystwyth Town FC had a quaint ground on which the local club played its Welsh League matches. The big events at Aber took place on a Wednesday afternoon when the whole college went Rugby crackers. Some rather famous Rugby stars of the future were to be seen on the college fields in the afternoon. and the town's pubs in the evening. My story concerns a football super star. One week my good friend Mr David Dean and I noticed an advert for a Wales Youth International against Northern Ireland to be played on the Town ground. We decided we would have a look in. After passing through the turnstile (there was only one as they did not have big crowds in Aberystwyth) we were handed a team sheet. We looked at it but knew no famous names. The thing that stood out though was the name of one very famous football club. Now this was an era when mass training sessions before a game did not just happen at all. No sensible groundsman would have allowed it. The first we saw of the teams was when they walked out at the start and lined up for the anthems. They looked rather a large lot except for one player in the Northern Ireland team. He stood there in his green shirt looking about fourteen, at no more than five feet, with little weight on him and spindly legs. We reckoned he could get eaten alive by the Welsh. The game ended in a win for Northern Ireland by nine goals to two. The nine could have been double but for the heroics of the Welsh goalie. The pint sized young player totally outplayed everyone on the park. The Welsh defence did their very best to nail him but failed miserably. And by the way he scored five goals. The famous football club in the programme was Manchester United and of course the young player was George Best. There happened to be a few other college associates at that match and for once that evening the talk in the pub was about football and not rugby – and the amazing talent we had all seen that day. Memories. The Resident Zoo Keeper reckons I have a better memory for things donkeys' years ago than things I forgot to do this morning. I keep digging out pictures that show that those donkeys' years ago I was in slightly better shape than today as well. In my last blog I told you about my experiences at Taunton School when I found myself as Manager of the County Under 14's. The picture below shows the squad for that Festival. I don't look much older than the players. Do you remember what I said about Gary Neville and his eyes when being snapped. Closed again. It is a good job he has improved since then. The young man in the middle is of course Nathan Wood. I am delighted to say he is coming back to help LSCA. This season he has agreed to become the Coach for the Under 14 Development team. There have been some changes to the coaches allocated to our teams for 2012. The Under 10's will be coached by Steve Critchley assisted by James Cutt. The evergreen Batman, John Williams, will be the Manager. John, by the way, is an ex-LSCA player. He did play at Old Trafford in one count y match when he was taken home in a fire engine. The star in that team was Bernard Reidy. The Under 11 Manager and Coach team of Tim McKiernan and Chuck O'Rourke will continue. Our Under 12 Coach will again be Mr David Leighton. I have to be polite and respectful to him for obvious reasons. David has been around our system since Adam was a lad. He is assisted by Bobby Cross who is one of our old boys. The records I told you about earlier tell me Bobby played U13 in 1996, U14 in 1997 and Under 15 in 1998. He was not able to move up into the Under 19 Schools team as we disbanded it at that time. At Under 13 level Shaun "Robin" Anders is the Coach assisted by Sam Holt. Steve Bulcock is the Manager. There are discussions afoot at the moment which could bring in some additional fixtures into this age group with a potential Festival on the South coast for a Development Squad. There has had to be a change at Under 14. We had welcomed Finchie back but he will now be Head Coach for the Lancashire Women's 1st XI. He has a role at the ECB which includes women's cricket and this move makes sense. He will be replaced by Joe Scuderi who will bring an antipodean outlook to our cricket. His assistant will be Nathan Wood as reported earlier. The draft plans for the summer mean that we may see an Under 14 Development Squad becoming an important part of our process. Steve Titchard will be the guiding light for the Under 15 squad supported by Rudra Singh, with Paul Bryson overseeing matters with the Under 15 Development team. What a team. I will need to come up with a "collective name" for them. We are hoping that Geoff Eccles will be able to take some part in the events of this summer. The rest of us will help out with the management needs until that time. The Under 15 season begins of course with the annual North v South match at St Annes followed by the big one for our 90th at Old Trafford. A final mention about fixtures. The full set should have been posted on the LCB Website by the time this blog appears. Another mention about the "BOOK". Get your orders in as soon as possible. How ???? Email to me firstname.lastname@example.com , click on the LCB Website when Dipesh has put the link on, fill in the order form in "Lancashire Spin" when it comes out, call at Totty Con and tell Philip or any other method that will work. I will be expecting a big order from Greenmount Cricket Club to name but one club. At £12.50 this is a snip. The more we sell the better will be our coffers for the future work we will do unearthing future players for Lancashire and hopefully for England. Does anybody reckon they could begin the process of gently persuading one of our past stars to step forward and be with us on May 21st for the special match against our old foes from across the Pennines. What about that collective name for Titch, RP and Brysie. Memories are made of this. Way back in my youth there was a group called "Dave Dee, Dozy,Mick and Titch". Titch is a shoe in – I have got to be Dozy. The others don't really fit though. Will have to work on this. How about the "Three Degrees" Enough, enough. Tesco where are you!!!

I have long been saying in this Newsletter that continuing U.S. Net Trade Deficits are a very big deal for the U.S. in the context of its position as the largest world economic power and influencer.
Last week it was reported that the U.S. Net Trade Deficit was $540 billion (an average of $45 billion per month) in 2012, $20 billion less than it was in 2011. This change related entirely to a year/year increase in net services, with almost no change year/year in the monetary difference between 'goods' imported and exported.
December's net trade deficit was reported at $38.5 billion, down from $48.6 billion in November (a 20.8% reduction)
At least one article reported that this was "quickly hailed by the Obama administration as a sign of success in the battle to better balance the country's trade relations with the rest of the world". U.S. Deputy Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank is quoted as saying "We're continuing to make historic progress". Even if Ms. Blank's statement turns out to be true based on trends as they unfold over the next few months, a one month improvement that is highly oil price dependent can hardly be referred to as 'historic progress'.
A careful read of the January 8 report of the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reveals that the difference in the December net deficit as currently reported (recall all monthly economic statistics are subject to subsequent adjustment) was largely driven by a $3.8 billion export increase and a $4.2 billion import decrease of Industrial Supplies and Materials. Changes to consumer goods exports and imports were virtually unchanged from November to December.
While it may or may not prove to be important, year/year the U.S. net trade deficit in December 2012 was $13.2 billion lower (just over 25%) than it was in December 2011.
The following charts show the progression of U.S. net trade deficits over various date ranges. The most shocking of the three is the third which shows the build-up of the U.S. net trade deficit after President Nixon in 1971 allowed the price of gold to float freely.

Irrespective of the improved one month result in December, America will continue for the foreseeable future to incur monthly trade deficits, and hence will continue to weaken economically against its collective trading partners. The economic theory that net trade deficits are not a problem because over time they will reverse and trade surpluses will balance with them over time needs re-thinking. America has now run trade deficits continuously for over 40 years, with no end in sight - and particularly after 1999 when manufacturing jobs left the U.S. in earnest.

Geoghan case now in hands of judge
Question of statute of limitations is key
By Kathleen Burge, Globe Staff, 2/23/2002
t's the most serious criminal case against former priest John Geoghan, the only one that could send him to prison for the rest of his life. But as a judge considers whether two child rape charges should be dismissed, the case could be doomed by lost files, fuzzy memories, and conflicting stories.
The case hinges on whether Suffolk Superior Court Judge Margaret Hinkle decides the statute of limitations expired before a grand jury indicted Geoghan in 1999. Arguments on both sides, concluded yesterday, are rooted in tangled legal arguments and such a precise tally of days that prosecutors have submitted weather reports and calendars, noting that 1986, the year this alleged victim first reported abuse, was a leap year.
During a hearing that lasted a day and a half, prosecutors tried to recreate the legal underpinnings of charges first reported 16 years ago. Many case files are missing; police reports cannot be found and prosecutors looking for the original 1986 complaint found only an empty folder.
Prosecutors called on anyone they could who had any involvement with the case. One prosecutor has died; many of the witnesses have long since left their jobs, and some could remember only general details about the investigation. The alleged victim, now a 27-year-old father, testified that he first reported the alleged rapes in 1986, which would put the alleged crimes outside of the statute of limitations.
His mother testified that her son reported only being fondled by Geoghan in 1986 and did not mention the alleged rapes until three years later, which would put them within the statute of limitations.
The discrepancies prompted the judge, who said she probably will decide by March 8, to ask the prosecutor whom to believe. Suffolk Assistant District Attorney David Deakin suggested that the mother's memory was more accurate, and was supported by other testimony and evidence. The victim, he added, "has a difficulty sequencing events" because he was traumatized by abuse.
Sentenced Thursday to nine to 10 years in prison for fondling a boy in a public swimming pool a decade ago, Geoghan was escorted into court in state-issued clothes too large for his frame: baggy gray pants, rolled up several inches at the cuffs, and a big denim coat with a rumpled collar.
"To me, he looked a little worse for the wear, but his spirits are good," said his lawyer, Geoffrey Packard. Geoghan must serve six years of the sentence before he is released to lifetime probation.
After the hearing, reporters crowded around Geoghan's sister, Catherine. Asked her reaction to her brother's sentence, she hesitated and her lower lip quivered. "A lot of reaction, but I wouldn't say it," she answered in a barely audible voice.
Also yesterday, Packard filed a motion with a single justice of the Appeals Court, asking that Geoghan be allowed to live at home while he appeals his conviction. On Thursday, Middlesex Superior Court Judge Sandra Hamlin denied the request.
In the Suffolk criminal case, the victim says that Geoghan raped him when he was between 7 and 10 years old, in the early to mid-1980s. He said Geoghan sexually abused him at the priest's mother's house in West Roxbury, in the boy's own Roslindale bedroom, and in Geoghan's car. The boy sat on Geoghan's lap in the driver's seat, and steered the car while Geoghan fondled him, the boy said.
This week's hearing was prompted by a motion filed by Packard, asking Hinkle to dismiss the charges because the statute of limitations had expired. It is up to prosecutors to prove -- apparently, beyond a reasonable doubt, although that, too, was questioned yesterday -- that the statute of limitations had not expired before Geoghan was indicted.
Lawyers on both sides agreed that the clock began ticking when alleged abuse was first reported to law enforcement officials. Prosecutors say that although the boy reported in 1986 that Geoghan had fondled him, it wasn't until 1989 that he reported that Geoghan had also orally raped him.
The original allegation in 1986 did not result in prosecution because the mother didn't want her son to testify in court. But the case was reopened in 1989 after new allegations surfaced involving Geoghan and another child. Once again, the mother refused to allow her son to testify.
Because the current case charges Geoghan with rape, not fondling, prosecutors argue that the clock didn't start running until 1989, when the statute of limitations in such cases was 10 years. In May 1996, however, the law changed and the statute of limitations in child rape cases was extended to 15 years, meaning that prosecutors had until 2004 to indict Geoghan. He was indicted five years earlier in 1999.
But Packard argues that it was a single case, beginning in February 1986, that sprung from the boy's accusations about Geoghan. If Packard is correct, the statute of limitations expired in February 1996, three years before Geoghan was indicted, and three months before the statute was extended to 15 years.
Prosecutors say that even if Hinkle agrees with Packard that the clock started in 1986, the indictment is still valid. State law stops the clock while a defendant is "not usually and publicly a resident within the commonweath." Prosecutors argue that means that the clock stopped while Geoghan was receiving psychological treatment out of state for a total of 107 days in 1989 and 1995.
Packard called Deakin's interpretation of the law "nonsensical," saying that the law was intended to mean long-term moves such as incarceration. Would prosecutors' interpretation mean the statute of limitations would stop if a defendant went to New Hampshire for the weekend? he asked.
Packard and Deakin also disagree about when, exactly, the first 1986 report of abuse was filed. Packard argued it occurred in late February, when the state Department of Social Services substantiated the report of abuse. Deakin argues that it was later, either in early March when prosecutors opened the case, or later still, when the boy's mother went to police.
But the police reports are missing, and the boy's mother remembers only that the day was warm -- hence Deakin's meteorological reports, showing cold weather late in February 1986 and early March.
No one involved in the case has alleged that files were deliberately destroyed. They note the age of the case and the fact that both Boston Police and the Suffolk District Attorney's office have moved since the case was originally filed.

The needs and concerns of today's senior drivers are very different from the typical grandmothers and grandfathers of the past. Today's senior lifestyle is much more mobile, life expectancy is so much higher, and some seniors own more than one home, many times traveling between homes several time each year. Senior drivers may have very different guarnatee needs that are exact to their own group. One thing that is not different about senior drivers is the desire to find the lowest and best rates for automobile insurance. So, here are the most tasteless factors affecting senior car guarnatee quotes.
Age May easily Get You best guarnatee Rates
As much as some of us would like to, we just can't turn back the clock. All of us are growing older and with that aging come some advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages may be a good thing for senior drivers when it comes to getting lower rates on car insurance. Depending on the insurer, most clubs offer a senior allowance for car guarnatee starting at age 50 or 55. Not having any younger drivers attached to a car guarnatee course and a clean driving narrative also helps to keep rates lower.
Many clubs offer retiree discounts and rebates that start when you retire. One of the best ways to save money is to think the low mileage guarnatee course offered by most companies. Low mileage guarnatee policies are based on coverage that protects you up to a inevitable maximum amount of mileage each year. This guarnatee is perfect for the retiree who does not have to make a long commute to work every day. Both of these discounts have a inevitable supervene on car guarnatee rates and work in favor of senior drivers.
Factors That Negatively influence Car Insurance
Typically, vehicle guarnatee rates for seniors are going to be higher. The hard truth is that rates for senior drivers over the age of 70 are higher because they are plainly not young anymore and are at higher risk for being complex in an accident. Even if a senior has a spotless driving record, guarnatee rates will be higher after age 70.
As we age, our eyesight may not be as good, our reflexes slow down, and we are just not able to reply to inevitable driving conditions in the same way. These and other age factors cause guarnatee clubs to think senior drivers a higher risk in spite of their driving record. Some clubs will not insure drivers after age 80, but others will contribute coverage for those up to age 99. It's best to make inevitable you know all the details that pertain to your singular situation.
As a senior, the type of car that you drive is also leading in determining guarnatee quotes. Car models which are thought about to be lower-end models are preferable plainly because they will be less high-priced to repair. A car with a smaller machine also counts in your favor.
Like most things, it's best to do your research, shop colse to for the best guarnatee rates, and assess different rates and coverage options from discrete companies. Automotive guarnatee websites will allow you to find a lot of information in a short time. If you still have questions, palpate your guarnatee agent or representative directly to get some answers about factors affecting senior's car guarnatee quotes.Factors Affecting Seniors Car insurance Quotes

Woehrdersee Hotel Mercure Nuernberg City Nuremberg Reviews
6 reviews
Good hotel in Nuernberg Apr 02, 2011
A week ago I stayed at the Woehrdersee Hotel Mercure in Nuernberg, Germany. I was staying there for a business trip. For this purpose (business) this hotel was perfect!
The location was very good. There are bus and tram stations just around the corner and the main station is very nearby. From the mainstation you can get easily to the Fair centre (Messe).
Staff was very friendly, fast and helpfull.
The rooms were modern. Very surprising: A shower in the middle of the room. I loved that, but some may find it strange. The room was clean and there was enough space. My room was at the front of the building where all the trafic is passing by, but when you close the window the noices of the trafic was gone. The bed was ok, not the best, it was a bit warm in the room and also very peculiar thing: No door in the bathroom, so if you have to go to the toilet....
Breakfast was good and nice.
It is a hotel I recommend, especially for business travelers.

This solves most of the ABI reservations that I have with this v1 patchset.Looking at netconsole, it looks to lack some locking for data consistency, and it appears that we will deadlock if we ever get a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event (due to recursively grabbing the rtnl in netpoll_cleanup). I have a couple patches I've been hacking on this afternoon that should clear those issues up.I'm thinking of pushing all the target handling options down into net/core/netpoll.c. I'll probably expose this interface as "struct netpoll_targets" where ->lock and ->list could be completely exposed to clients. netconsole would then get a lot smaller as would netoops.> That said, I don't think netoops is an ideal name, given how closely> bound oops _events_ are with their textual output.

We call this code 'netdump' or 'network_dumper' internally, but I figured it'd be better to follow current conventions with ramoops and mtdoops already in the tree.

We can't programmatically know how crapped out the machine is, so historically we've erred on not allowing bad things to continue happening once someone notices something wrong.It's easier for us to just shoot the machine in the head (panic_on_oops) and move on than corrupt data or dead-lock in weird ways at some later point in time. This is definitely not the behaviour I would want nor expect from my desktop or phone, but for the cluster, it's just safer.

I love how 'hip' the kids got in the 1972 packaging - love that cool vest and Davy Jones-like haircut!
Thanks for your excellent site - it's my daily break from the office noise.

I have always loved that "Phil Silvers" Loveable Truly. Shoulda stuck with him.

That first Post-Man was Jack E. Leonard. The Post cereal people didn't care for him- demanded a character that was "truly loveable". You can guess the rest.

"Loveable Truly", in case many of you didn't know, also appeared as a continuing character in his own right on "LINUS THE LIONHEARTED" (1964-'66, '67-'69 repeats) while plastered on the "Alpha-Bits" boxes of the time....and why not? General Foods [Post cereals] sponsored the show, and made sure their cereal characters had a weekly showcase!

Thank you, anonymous! Can't believe how many times Fat Jack Leonard gets mistaken for Silvers...I'm positive he's who MAD magazine's Uncle Nutzy was modeled on.

I'm working to confirm this.
UPDATE: The Seahawks have confirmed that Rice is out for the year.

I'm working to confirm this.
UPDATE: The Seahawks have confirmed that Rice is out for the year.
Seahawks lose Sidney Rice to torn ACL http://t.co/fMPzWXKXpu— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) October 29, 2013
I wonder if it was the same knee he got surgery on back in August. His decline this year made it so much easier for teams to play press man and just tee-off on the Seahawks with the pass rush.
Will the Seahawks tune to Channel 83?
Looks like Harvin's time to shine.
well, i wasted some cash on my Rice 18 jerseys.
I don't think we'll ever see #18 play a snap in a seahawks uniform again.
Unless, of course, he's willing to take a huge pay cut to stay on the team, which is possible considering he's a middle of the road wide receiver who will be coming off of the torn ACL.
I guess we don't have too much of a hard time taking somebody off the roster for Percy.
Too bad JK drops a lot…. otherwise, this would be his Huge Opp to earn some playing time and a future contract!!!
Good points. I don't know if we can tune into Channel 83 yet. I like him, but there are more consistent players at the position on the team. Harvin should be a tremendous boost, but I hope there aren't too many eggs placed in that basket…
BTW, I read your posts just about everyday. I really like what you all have to say, good, bad or indifferent.
that sucks. he wasn't getting many catches (who is w this pass protecition?), but he was still a very sure handed receiver, who could make some tough grabs.
it's a blow.
Sick. Sick. Sick.
…in my stomach.
That does answer the "who goes off the 53 when PH comes back" question…
I would think we will be getting doses of Tate and Baldwin outside with Percy in the slot, and Kearse until PH is active.
Maybe this is karma for thinking how bad the Whiner WRs suck. We're in the same boat now, maybe worse.
Was it just me, or was Lynch hardly on the field last night? I kept seeing #22 and wondering where ML was. I wonder what his snap count was. That would say something about whether or not Bevel was trying to send him a message.
Too bad JK drops a lot . . . . . you mean the 2 he has officially for the season?
Why do I keep thinking about Williams and Harper?
Trade deadline's over, right?
Rice's season ended when he had that knee surgery in August. He wasn't even a starting caliber WR after that procedure.
Now if it can be argued that he would be back at full strength near season's end then it's a bad loss. But at this point any decent man CB could shut him out of the game.
xcman- If you ever followed JKs career at UW then you would understand.
Lost in all of this is the fact that, as of last night, Earl Thomas has entered Kenny Easley territory (not that we didn't know about his greatness before last night).
Many long time readers know how much I (us) love Easley, but ET is now in the conversation. Wow.
Earl was awesome last night.
Maybe we'll hear about how Kearse is going to be inducted in Canton or Bowie is going to take the job and be a Pro Bowler?
Our players are great and every other player in the NFL sucks. Unless we lose or win a close game – then all our players suck and we should get rid of them all.
*This isn't aimed at anyone – I'm just mad and venting about losing one of my favorite Seahawks (Rice). Uhhh!!!
It's a bummer for Sid and a bummer for the team. I suspect he wouldn't have been back next year so as much as I hate to say it, this will give the front office a chance to really evaluate our need at the WR position next year.
Going forward I wonder what this means for the WR corp as a whole. Who plays the outside in Sid's place? Do you move Baldwin out there and Percy to the slot? That would be two guys playing in "new" spots so-to-speak. (Understanding Percy know's the slot, but he's still a "new" guy for the team.)
Do you put Percy out there and leave Baldwin in the slot where he has great chemistry with RW? Or do you promote Kearse there and continue with the original plan for bringing Percy in?
And how does this all pan out for Ricardo Lockette? That's an interesting story. He was with us, got released. Picked up by San Fran and rooms with Kap. Get's released and bounced around somewhere else for a few weeks and now he's back with us on the PS. Can you imagine the irony if he were to end up staring for us the rest of the season?
Lots to think about here!
It's a bummer this wasn't discover say THIS morning. Hakeem Nicks…#88 would've looked real good right about now.
Bummer. I kind of like Sid personally and wanted to see him and Harvin back together, but don't think that'll be happening any time soon if ever.
Given the choice, I'd still prefer to have some o-line help. Kearse really needs to step up now. Other than him, we have no size to go along with our ability to not separate. Harvin will change some of that if/when he's ready to go.
I felt bad about the 'W' but was happy to get it. I feel worse now. Ugh.
go hawks
I think they knew last night. I figured it was a serious knee injury once he didn't come back, especially given the prior knee surgery.
Easley is still my favorite Seahawk of all time! Still the most exciting Seahawk to watch play game after game!!
Percey's presence more important than ever.
I wanted to see Rice, Tate, Harvin and Baldwin on the field at the same time… Ugh.
don't bet on Percy this week…
Just got to weather the storm.
We still have enough pieces to make a Super Bowl run.
Georgia – We definitely can/will make a SB run, especially when Okung comes back (even though he won't single handedly make the OL good).
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself-
Can't we still trade with some sort of penalty???
I'd like to see a little Christine Michael. we could use another weapon. turbin has looked pretty average on his carries. we should be getting something out of a 2nd round pick.
Agree BobbyK- I'm not giving up on this team for sure. The road just gets a little more rough, however this team is tough and we will get through this stuff.
And we will be on our way to the Super Bowl.
This definitely falls under the be careful what you ask for catagory.
People on here were screaming to have Rice benched and/or cut.
Now we are going to see how much of a difference it makes to have him out of the lineup.
I think Rice is going to be missed a lot more than people thought.
Just like everybody wanted Breno gone. How's that working out?
If we had to lose one receiver I would have had it be Rice or Kearse. I'm actually not upset that its Rice over Kearse either. The reality is he is prob gone next year unless he restructures to the tribe of $2-3mil/yr.
No hawkjitsu. The NFL trade deadline is hard and fast.
Only hope now is to pick up someone from the street and/or scour the waiver wire for some team's castoff.
Major bummer having to drop Stephen Williams a while back, he's the perfect guy to step in for Rice.
Sidney seemed like a good guy, he didn't put up the numbers we all would have liked but he worked hard and was a good Seahawk. Maybe after this, his knee comes back better then before as they can address the other issues in there at the same time.
By the way, they will not be adding William Percival Harvin to the open spot. Too early. Look for Rockette..
After all the Seahawk Scraps that Jacksonville picked up, can't Bradley just do us a favor and waive Stephen Williams? See if somehow he doesn't get grabbed and let us get him back?
Note to the Legion of Gloom: The sky is not falling.
Rice has under-performed and his absence will not diminish this team. Even if Harvin is less than spectacular, the loss of Rice does not spell disaster.
We just need to keep winning so nobody can take home field from us. Even with crappy WRs and OL – nobody, IMO, is going to come to Seattle and win a play-off game.
For all the talk about the 49ers beating us if we played like last night — does anyone think the players will approach a 49ers game the way they prepared for a team we were favored to win by double digits like last night? I don't mean to insinuate the players weren't trying last night – I just simply think that you give more against some teams than you do others (which, on the surface, may seem hypocritical).
I agree they will be "up" for that game, I just don't know if they are up to it… Niners actually have an offense. I know they will adjust and cover some of their gaping wounds, but still. Neither team is playing currently the way they did the last time they met.
Hopefully both teams will be healthy and sporting their starters so we can see which team is really the best.
I was on here touting ET last night. Double-fisted pat on my back! That hit on Clemens was just awesome. He was laying some wood last night.
Rice is done here unless he wants to come in for the vet minimum and compete for a job. 7.3 mil in cap savings. We will see what he meant to this team. Hard to tell this year with the state of the o-line. Time for Kearse and Baldwin to step up. Good thing Harvin will be back soon. This also should clarify Tate's value going into UFA.
I think some people forget that not every team out there has a Quinn at one end and a Long at the other. The o-line is still certainly a big concern, but every team out there can't do that. Especially once at least Okung is back.
Did anyone else out there think that Carp looked pretty good last night, or at least average?
I didn't notice any bad play out of Carp, i was too busy watching Sweezy and MQ get blown by like they weren't even there.
Bowie was playing a good matador as well.
I noticed Carp whiffing a few times (nothing new) but he definitely sucked much less than the entire right side and the guy lining up next to him in McQuistan.

1990s Crisis
The rupee's decline is a reminder of the crisis in the 1990s when the widening deficits in the budget and current account pushed the currency down 37% between 1991 and 1992. The government secured an emergency loan of $2.2 billion the IMF by pledging 67 tons of India's gold reserves as collateral. Growth slowed to 2.1% in 1991, from 5.6% the previous year.
Assistance from the IMF led then finance minister and now prime minister, Manmohan Singh, to open India's economy to foreign investment. Since then, economic growth has accelerated, with GDP expanding more than 9% in each of the three years through March 2008 compared with 3.7% between 1950 to 1973.
The country is in a better position to counter a crisis, with $277 billion foreign reserves, enough to cover more than six months of imports, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compares with less than two months of import coverage in 1991, according to a RBI report in August 2012.
Growth Slowdown
At the same time, the economy is posting its slowest growth since 2003, expanding 5% in the year ended March 2013. Last month, the RBI cut its growth forecast for the year through March 2014 to 5.5% form 5.7%.
India's currency defense will raise borrowing costs for the government and companies, slowing economic growth further, according to Michael Shaoul, chairman of New York-based Marketfield Asset Management LLC.
"It is historically very difficult to defend a currency when you have large current account deficit," Shaoul, who helps manage $13 billion in assets, said in a phone interview from New York yesterday. "These measures are not really helpful as they are going to do damages to the local economy. The real danger is that foreigners start to withdraw more capital and you start a vicious cycle."

I stand corrected.
Printable View
I stand corrected.
I'm stocking up on old school lawn mowers just in case...
It really depends on which Zombies we're talking about. Night of the Living Dead, Walking Dead etc zombies are slow moving and die pretty easily once the brain is impacted.
Return of the living dead zombies were fast and could use tools. Worst of all the zombies from resident evil were intense. They were fast and pretty resourceful.
Military training, weapons training, jiu jitsu ( enough to get off of your back if you fall down or trip), some striking art and bear grylls style survival skills. Make a walking dead style martial art for zombie survival. people would pay for it lol
The first official Zombie-related Martial Arts system, RZMA (Reverse Zombification Martial Arts)! I even managed to snag a preview of the manual:
What is "Reverse Zombification"?
It's exactly what it sounds like! The process of zombification is creating a zombie. You take a normal dead body, or someone who has been infected by bite/scratch/blood/spit/other unpleasant bodily fluids too gruesome to think about, and through the magical process of zombification, you have created a Zombie.
Reverse zombification then is the process of making someone NOT a zombie. Now we can't undo months of rotting flesh and return a person back to their former self (yet). Therefore, by the process of elimination (and I mean that literally), reverse zombification is the act of turning a zombie BACK into a good ol' fashioned dead body.
It goes without saying that guns are an effective method of dealing with zombies, even though I just said it. Therefore, I will pass over the art of Head Shots (to be covered in future manuals). The way I see it, there are two branches of combat left. Armed, be it with a knife, bat, sword, newspaper, stick of butter, supple baby distraction, whatever. Then, you have unarmed. Which is where zombies eat off your arms because you don't have a weapon, you dummy.
Unfortunately the remainder of this SUPER SECRET document is available only to DordNation members. But I thought it was pretty pertinent to this thread.
for me it's aikido

In the Republican presidential debate on Feb. 22, John King of CNN opened the debate with: "I'm thrilled to be in a state (Arizona) that reminds us baseball season is just around the corner." Sorry, Mr. King. The baseball season had already begun. Nearby Arizona State, a perennial power in college baseball, opened the season Feb. 17 with a 10-0 win over Western Michigan.

Sorry, Mr. King. The baseball season had already begun. Nearby Arizona State, a perennial power in college baseball, opened the season Feb. 17 with a 10-0 win over Western Michigan.
Closer to home, also on Feb. 17, Clemson opened the season in front of 5,944 fans, and back-to-back defending national champion South Carolina opened with 8,242 in attendance. For comparison, the average home attendance for the Florida and Tampa Bay major league clubs is around 19,000.
Purists have long objected to the aluminum bats used in NCAA baseball since 1974. Collegiate Baseball magazine has estimated that metal bats raised batting averages by about 37 points, enough to turn an average hitter into a good hitter. Averages took an immediate jump in 1974, and then as engineers at the bat companies improved performance, batting averages and the number of home runs increased to a peak in 1998, when the NCAA finally decided that the bats had to be deadened.
Bats were gradually adjusted so that the performance of metal bats was much closer to their wooden counterparts, and starting in 2011, the annoying ping was gone. The sound of a modern metal bat hitting the ball doesn't quite produce the crack of a wooden bat, but it's very close. If one is blessed with poor hearing, like me, it sounds about the same.
The history of baseball provides a good example of how so-called scientists can be wrong about a physical phenomenon. In the 1940s and before, intellectuals believed the curve ball was an optical illusion, that it really didn't curve. On the other hand, uneducated fellows like the Cardinals' colorful pitcher Dizzy Dean knew the ball actually curved. The controversy prompted ol' Diz to famously remark, "Stand behind a tree 60 feet away, and I'll whomp you with an optical illusion!"
The difficulty comes when a casual observer tries to analyze the flight of the ball.
An observer positioned in a balloon above a right-handed pitcher will see that, as the curve ball heads for the plate, it is spinning on a vertical axis in a counter-clockwise direction. It's understandable to guess that the ball should kick off the oncoming airstream and move to the right. Yet, the ball actually curves to the left, causing folks of yesteryear to jump to the wrong conclusion.
In fact, the spinning ball picks up air in front, channeling more of the air around the left side of the ball. Therefore, there is a higher air velocity on the left, and based on the Bernoulli principle, that results in lower air pressure on the left and the ball moves left.
We should keep this in mind as we consider the modern claim by climate scientists that increased consumption of fossil fuels will, in theory, lead to disaster. Their claims are based on laboratory measurements and computer models, but when the computers calculate the past, instead of the future, they fail. That is, the sacrosanct models that are supposed to predict the next 100 years were unable to predict the past 10 years.
If we're going to crush the U.S. economy to avoid impending disaster from global warming, it is reasonable to expect more supporting evidence than a computer program that can't even predict the past.
And forget about our own milder than normal winter. Europe and Alaska, for example, have just endured a much colder than normal winter.
Finally, I'm obliged to say that any use of the accounts and descriptions in this essay without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball is … permitted.

Claims that the closure of Buckrose mental health ward in Bridlington hospital has been moved forward to next month have been rejected by Humber NHS Foundation Trust.
The original time for the closure of the ward is the end of September with patients to be moved to hospitals in Hull. But there are claims that the wards in Hull have now been completed so the NHS Trust have chosen to move them soon rather than wait until the original later date.
Buckrose staff were said to have been told last week that all patients would be leaving by 18 August and that they would have to join them in Hull.
The East Riding of Yorkshire Clinical Commissioning Group and the NHS Foundation Trust's decision to close the ward sparked a petition in Bridlington with nearly 600 people opposing the decision and trying to discourage them to keep the unit open.
The Humber NHS Foundation Trust spokesperson said: "The decommissioning of the ward is currently happening in stages as access to community-based services is increased. The trust continues to work with commissioners, staff and patients around the time scale for closure but no plan to close the ward earlier than originally stated has been agreed."

Scuba diving in Quai Corail
Quai Corail is located on the eastern side of La Possession harbor. Diving in this area is suitable for divers of all experience levels. The water visibility is good and there isn't any current. The average depth is 8-12m/26-39ft.
When to go
The air temperature in the winter stays around 29C/84F and 24C/75F in the summer. The average water temperature is around 27C/81F from January to March and 23C/73F from July to September. Diving is possible all year round.
What to see
Divers will be able to see moray eels, tuna, turtle, groupers, manta rays, scorpion fish, lionfish, crayfish, triggerfish, leaf fish, lizardfish and even dolphins. Due to good water visibility and absence of current this location is recommended for night diving.

The paperweight displays a very beautiful pattern of multicolored periwinkle style flowers. This is very similar to standard style millefiore however it is actually spaced multi-petaled, multi-colored flowers on a green background. There are seven groups of flower clusters with one being in the center and the other six that are spaced like petals. They are separated by a the green background as well as an air bubble located at the top edge of each flower cluster and also at the bottom edge. This is quite a sophisticated pattern to master.
The paperweight vase is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. There are some scratches along the bottom and is typical of normal wear. There are a few small surface inclusions that I have inspected under a jewelers loop to make sure they are not scratches. The piece is not signed but there is no doubt that this piece was made in Murano, Italy. It originally had a blue foil label that evidently has been removed by a previous owner. You can tell this piece was blown as the pontil scar has been polished smoothed and even.
This is a really nice Murano art glass paperweight. If you looking for a pleasing pattern that was executed with precision during the mid century look no further. I feel the buyer will be delighted with their purchase. This paperweight was made, circa 1950-1965.

But the real reason I didn't blog about the shoot is I forgot to bring the Olympus camera hehehe. I now think that if the photo wasn't taken by our Olympus, it's not worth posting. There is clearly a huge difference, folks. I always discouraged Vince from buying a camera (too expensive--and we already buy our cameras and lenses from Amazon and eBay, which sell far cheaper) until we got pregnant with Vito. After that, everyone keeps commenting on how fantastic our photos are!
Anyway, I did take a few shots with my Blackberry.
|Byron of MAC made me up.
|That is a face full of foundation and eye makeup!
And this is our "wacky shot." As you can see, what looks like too much makeup is actually just right under the bright glare of the studio lights.
Okidoki, sorry if I've been MIA again. Been busy with the mommy blog. It's really growing! I have another giveaway there right now so if you're pregnant or know someone who is, join the contest! I've also been occupied with promoting the bedroom Vince and I designed for the Ethan Allen contest we joined. If you haven't voted for me yet, please LIKE my photo! Thanks!

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton Jackson was unhappy with the way he was being treated leading up to what may have been his final fight inside the Octagon, a unanimous decision loss to Glover Teixeira at the UFC on FOX 6 event last weekend in Chicago (see it here).
But you knew that.
What you may not have known, are some of the specifics of his complaint against the Las Vegas-based mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, which "Rampage" tells MMA HEAT is "taking advantage of its fighters" while "cleaning house" in the pay-per-view sales...

rampage being rampage.....and im tired of it get lost already or shut up and be a fighter

Well Rampage has a legitimate point ONLY if he is telling the truth though
Theoutlaw08 »
Posted 3/23/11 3:38:00PM
Someone tell Rampage to shut his Damn mouth. He's trying to paint a picture that probably isnt true at all. Hes doing this on his way out, so it makes it look like the UFC actually treated him bad. Tell him to take his 13 million and good to hell. Enough is enough of him already.

I think it is a little crazy that they can hide these numbers. If you are paying people a % of what you sell you should have to report those numbers IMO.

He just... Won't.... SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I knocked out Chuck and someone booed me.
I keep fighting people that use wrestling.
I tried to become an actor and Dana called me a bad name.
And the list goes on...
Posted 4/26/07 10:47:00AM
I heard Rampage is changing his name to Tantrum
grappler0000 »
Posted 3/24/07 5:29:00PM
They don't release the number publicly. Being a private company affords them the right not to. Every fighter that gets a PPV cut knows what the numbers are though...AND has the right to an audit. It's in their contract. If Rampage really believes what he's saying, he has the legal right to challenge what the UFC payed him. I think he just likes to run his mouth though, so I doubt we'll see that.
FastKnockout »
Posted 9/24/10 8:39:00PM
Eh, I kind of agree with him. There's no real proof but I always assumed the UFC added some numbers to the real PPV buys. Why wouldn't they? The "we just say that to the press" wouldn't be that much of a shocker.
finnish_line »
Posted 8/16/07 8:54:00AM
If they added buys to the real number they'd have to pay fighters more than they're required to.
Rampage is accusing the opposite.
bjj1605 »
Posted 10/11/07 4:18:00PM
He's saying its one or the other.
Either they lie to the press to be impressive OR they lie to the fighters to short change them. He claims the UFC claims that they lie to the press and are honest with the fighters.

Didn't Couture go through this money issue with the UFC when he left after recapturing the HW crown ? Seems like Rampage is at this stage now.

For the past few months, the stock market has been behaving like a reveler who's had just a little too much to drink, and the bond market has been behaving like the guy who wants to take away the stock market's car keys.
We should probably listen to the bond market.
The broad S&P 500 stock index has rallied 22 percent since early October, recently hitting its highest level since early July. The narrower Dow Jones Industrial Average recently hit its highest mark since May 2008. And the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite index recently climbed back to a level not seen since December 2000.
The stock market is suggesting that American investors are shaking off many of the fears that hammered stocks last summer and early fall -- namely, Europe's debt mess and our own shaky economic recovery.
The bond market, on the other hand, suggests those fears are alive and well.
The 10-year Treasury note is a key gauge investors watch to measure investors' appetite for risk. When bond prices are high, it means that investors are scrambling for the relative safety of U.S. government debt. When bond prices are low, that often means people are putting money in riskier assets, or at least that they're worried about an outbreak of inflation, which often accompanies stronger growth.
Bond prices right now are very high. One way to measure Treasury bond demand -- a way that most normal humans can relate to, anyway -- is by looking at the bond's yield. This is the interest rate you're getting paid to lend money to Uncle Sam. When that interest rate is low, it means Uncle Sam is having an easy time getting you to lend money to him, which means lots of people want to own his bonds.
Recently the yield on the 10-year Treasury note was a shade below 2 percent, not far from the lowest levels since at least the 1940s.
When bond yields are low, it means that bonds are expensive to buy. It means investors are willing to give up some future interest income in order to get an investment that will hopefully not take all their money and set it on fire, as the stock market has a nasty habit of doing.
In fact, demand for Treasurys is so strong that investors in most Treasury debt are accepting interest rates that don't even keep up with the Fed's targeted inflation rate of 2 percent, as Bloomberg noted on Monday.
Bond investors apparently are not at all worried that a money-pumping Fed or some future sudden burst of strength in the economy will drive inflation through the roof and make their low-yielding bonds worthless.
The stock market may not exactly be priced for runaway growth, either, but it is priced for faster economic growth than the GDP growth rate of 1 percent to 2 percent that is likely in the first quarter of 2012, Lombard Street Research analyst Charles Dumas wrote on Monday.
The stock market is not a proxy for economic growth -- corporate profits can grow strongly even when the economy is sluggish, and that can help lift stocks. But market-watchers are increasingly worried that companies have managed to squeeze all the profit growth they can get by laying off workers and closing plants. That means they'll need actual sales growth -- which does depend on a stronger economy -- to keep profits, and the rally, growing.
This is not the first time the bond and stock market have sung different tunes about the economy. Last spring, a noticeable disconnect between bond yields and stock prices signaled the near-term top in the stock market, as Matt Phillips of the Wall Street Journal noted presciently.
The gap between stocks and bonds is far, far bigger today. It is also arguably wider than it was in late 2007 and early 2008 -- another period in which bond yields fell well in advance of stock prices falling.
The bond market could be sending a false signal this time. High bond prices today at least partly reflect expectations of another round of bond-buying by the Federal Reserve, as Bloomberg suggested.
But we won't get another round of bond-buying from the Fed without more disappointing economic data, and the bond market suggests we could be due for some disappointment.

In the winter, remove your screens in the south and east-facing windows and leave the screens in the north and west windows. Screens can block a substantial amount of free solar heat from coming in your windows. Since the most intense passive solar heat comes from the south, remove the south-facing screens in the winter. You probably get enough passive solar heat from the east also to make it worthwhile to remove these screens too.
Window screens will block some of the direct force of the winter wind, so leave them in the north-facing windows. There is no sun from the north in the winter anyway and the screens will reduce heat loss from the window. Although the west-facing windows receive as much sun as the east-facing windows, leave the screens in the west ones. Since the prevailing winter winds are from the northwest, you will save more energy by blocking the wind than you lose by blocking the afternoon sun.

Ticks can carry and transmit a remarkable array of pathogens, including bacteria, spirochetes, rickettsiae, protozoa, viruses, nematodes, and toxins. A single tick bite can transmit multiple pathogens, a phenomenon that has led to atypical presentations of some classic tick-borne diseases. In the United States, ticks are the most common vectors of vector-borne diseases (see the images below).
See Lyme Disease and 4 Emerging Tick-Borne Illnesses, a Critical Images slideshow, to help identify and treat several tick-borne conditions.
Also, see the Bug Bites You Need to Know This Summer slideshow for helpful images and information on various bug bites.
In North America, the following diseases are caused by tick bites:
Human granulocytic and monocytic ehrlichiosis
Tick paralysis
In Europe, the list is similar, but other diseases should be considered as well, including boutonneuse fever (caused by a less virulent spotted fever rickettsial organism, Rickettsia conorii) and tick-borne encephalitis. [1] No postexposure treatment is available for tick-borne encephalitis, but vaccines are in use for prevention. [2, 3, 4]
Animal and human studies have shown that the risk of Lyme disease transmission increases significantly after 24 hours of attachment and is even higher after more than 48 hours of attachment. [5] Testing of ticks for tick-borne infectious organisms is generally not recommended, except for research purposes.
Healthcare practitioners, particularly those in areas where Lyme disease is endemic, should become familiar with the clinical manifestations of, and recommended testing and therapy for, Lyme disease; they should be equally knowledgeable regarding human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) and babesiosis. If necessary for identification and testing, ticks can be placed in a sealed container containing alcohol.
For patient education resources, see the Tick Management Handbook developed by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Removal is indicated when a tick is attached to the skin (see the image below). There are no contraindications for removal.

A high court judgment in favour of journalists protecting confidential sources was welcomed by the SA National Editors' Forum (Sanef). It was a "ground-breaking decision for media freedom" in South Africa, Sanef said about the case between the Mail&Guardian and a private company.
The judgment related to a defamation action brought by Bosasa, a facilities management company, against the Mail&Guardian and its investigative reporter Adrian Basson, Sanef said in a statement.
The newspaper published an article in 2009 which described "the corrupt relationship between Bosasa and the department of correctional services".
According to the article, the relationship resulted in the company winning a number of multimillion-rand tenders from the department.
Sanef said that when the Mail&Guardian refused to supply the names of the sources of the information in the article, Bosasa went to court to demand that the names be revealed.
It claimed that confidential sources could be used to promote hidden agendas, disseminate propaganda or disguise lazy reporting.
According to Sanef, Judge Moroa Tsoka found that freedom of the press was fundamental to democracy.
It was essential for the public good that journalists were able to do their work and the identity of their sources should not be revealed.
"This essential and critical role of the media, which is more pronounced in our nascent democracy, founded on openness, where corruption has become cancerous, needs to be fostered rather than denuded," he reportedly said in his judgment.
Sanef chairman Mondli Makhanya said the judgment provided journalists with a substantial legal safeguard for the protection of their confidential sources.
Bosasa's lawyer Jeremy Gauntlett told the court that "none of us have an absolute right to information nor do the respondents [the Mail&Guardian and Basson] have absolute right to immunity of disclosure of information they've chosen to rely upon".
Rejecting the argument, Tsoka said the identity of the sources was irrelevant and that Bosasa should have dealt with the correctness of the claims in the article and not the sources' identity.
"This judgment will remove the fears over this issue that have always dogged journalists who have before them the example of the many journalists who have been jailed for defending that principle," said Makhanya.
He said Sanef congratulated the Mail&Guardian for taking the financial risk of pursuing this fundamental principle in an expensive court action and commended the judge for setting a new standard of media freedom in South Africa.
