Interview: Dr. Eric Schmidt of Google
MARIA BARTIROMO, host: Eric, thanks so much for joining us.
Dr. ERIC SCHMIDT: Thank you for having me on again.
BARTIROMO: Let's begin with this debate that seems to be brewing on Wall Street about growth. So the company grew 46 percent in the third quarter, 40 percent in the fourth quarter, 30 percent in the next quarter, and then sequentially 1 1/2 percent when you look quarter to quarter. How insulated would you say is Google to the economic slowdown or recession?
Dr. SCHMIDT: Well, the numbers you're using are year over year, quarter over quarter in the US. Globally, of course, we had good growth, and the US numbers are masked by the fact that, a year ago, we had a very strong quarterly growth of that quarter. So the real growth rate in the US is good, although overall growth rates are slowing, as they have for years. Just because of the scale and size of what we operate. The business has continued to be good.
BARTIROMO: OK, because when you get to a certain size, it's really hard to sort of grind down more market share when you've already got 70 percent or get that much bigger, given the fact that the company is getting--you're a large business.
Dr. SCHMIDT: But we have--we have multiple ways in which we grow. Of course, more people use the Internet, more people are using electronic commerce on the Internet, more people are clicking on the ads, and also our ad technology is getting much, much better. And it's really any one of those will push us over the top in any given quarter; sometimes they all come together. We don't seem to be very sensitive to macroeconomics, at least right now. We don't seem to be very sensitive to things like recession. But we're very sensitive to how quickly do we bring in the new product improvement or something like that.
BARTIROMO: The comScore data took everybody's estimates down, and this whole debate about whether it was accurate or not. How can you ensure that the growth occurs, even if people pull in their spending, if perhaps advertisers slow down on the budgets? I mean, is it fair to say that the hypergrowth of 2004 to '07 is--has been seen?
Dr. SCHMIDT: Well, as I said, if you think about it over a five- or six- or seven-year period, growth rates are slowing, as they have to. So I don't think it's a big shift. It's not, you know, today it was one way and tomorrow it's another. In our case, we focus on quality, and we have a very simple model. If we show fewer ads that are more targeted, those ads are worth more. So we're in this strange situation where we show a smaller number of ads and we make more money because we show better ads. And that's the secret of Google.

Heavenz-Kitchen to Your Remodeling Rescue in Elverta, California
The standard kitchen remodel takes many factors into consideration before any work begins. With Kitchen Remodeling Near Me in Elverta, California, the layout of the room is the very first design element to consider when planning the space. What's the square footage and how will each area of the space be used: food prep, dish washing, cooking, refrigeration and freezing, storage of food supplies and utensils as well as eating. All these elements are essential aspects of operating a successful kitchen.
Heavenz-Kitchen Designs Your Kitchen Using the Elements You Need
When a home owner decides their kitchen is in need of a makeover, it is necessary to determine what elements of their current kitchen design are failing to serve their needs. The solution to those failures will undoubtedly allow for the creation of a successful new kitchen plan in Elverta, California. Imagine the first solution to a problematic issue is a new sink. Your original configuration may have been the traditional double sink with a standard faucet. Your Heavenz-Kitchen designer suggests an extra deep ceramic farmhouse sink with a pot filler faucet. This new look will accommodate very large pots and extra tall containers. He or she may also include a pullout or pull down faucet, a touch less one, a side spray or a wall mounted faucet. After considering your needs and likes, the end design should resolve many of the deficiencies missing from your kitchen sink's design.
The next issue in your kitchen in Elverta, California that the designer attempts to correct may be the cooking configuration. The home owner may currently have only a single oven. If they love to bake for large groups, a double oven may be preferable. The challenge could be with the cook top, especially if the homeowner prefers gas and is stuck with an electric stovetop. After the designer incorporates this change into the design, the type of gas cook top is chosen. The home owner may desire a separate stove or stand alone cook tops that meet their needs. They may end up with a double wall oven on one side of the kitchen with a cook top that sits directly across from the oven.
Organization may be a real problem in your pre-renovated kitchen in Elverta, California. You may not have adequate drawers or cabinetry for storage. After explaining this problem to the Heavenz Kitchen designer, deeper cabinets and drawers may be incorporated into the new cabinet layout. Instead of the standard cabinet of 24 inches deep, go for the 36 inch deep base cabinets. Every inch of space is needed for small kitchens to be used for storage, causing you to choose to have corner base and wall cabinets installed. Your wall cabinets can be increased from 12 inches deep up to 17 inches deep allowing you to store many more items in overhead cabinetry.
The lighting improvements for your home will be based on the work station changes you make. Every work station needs appropriate lighting. An island may need pendant lighting, while a countertop may be well lit using a single overhead fluorescent light. You may desire a more modern look with ceiling pocket lamps and focused track or pendant lighting. Under cabinet lighting or inside cabinet lighting are the other options you may choose to exercise.
Flooring and wall treatments are the final changes you will want to institute. Kitchen floors in Elverta, California can be very important to cover properly. Properly treated wood floors make excellent flooring for kitchens. Bamboo flooring is an eco-friendly product that provides excellent traits to a kitchen floor. It usually comes with 50 year residential warranties. These floors are scratch resistant; they are heel safe and pet friendly, so the average kitchen floor will look beautiful for decades. Ceramic tiles and vinyl tiles are the most common kitchen floor covering choices. The kitchen flooring options include laminate flooring, concrete, stone and rubber floors. Walls are still painted and wall papered to achieve the look most appealing to the home owner's tastes.
Kitchen layouts will begin with the work triangle, the stove, sink and refrigerator placement. If several people generally operate in your kitchen in Elverta, California at the same time, you may need a space broken up into zones. You will require an area for cooking, cleaning and a section for eating. A galley or corridor style kitchen has a single aisle down the center of a fairly limited space. With cabinets on either side of the aisle, adding an island can add needed storage. The L-shaped, U-shaped and G-shaped kitchens are layout configurations your home may have as their existing formations. There is a way to make every layout successful for your space. Explain your unique needs and allow the Heavenz Kitchen designer in Elverta, California to make suggestions about the improvements.
Heavenz-Kitchen in Elverta, California USE OF THE NEW DRAWER
USE NEW TECHNOLOGY IN YOUR HEAVENZ KITCHEN RENOVATION in California
The latest advances in technology include the Sweepovac which is installed in kitchens. It sucks up the dirt gathered by sweeping and eliminates the need for a dustpan by sucking up the dirt for disposal. Innovation in refrigerator technology allow for adding Wi-Fi so families can order take out and connect to social media while in the kitchen in California. Horizontal cabinets with top hinges are fast becoming the alternative to the rectangular cabinet with doors. Engineered stone finally looks realistic enough to replace the real thing. Finally adding to the advances, texture is everywhere from backsplash tiles to cabinet fronts and countertops.
THE FINALIZED Heavenz-Kitchen PROJECT in CA
When you do your final walk-through, it is important that you test each appliance and use all of the equipment in CA. Test the electric panels to make sure they're working.

CATIA for Engineers enables Digital Prototyping including Analysis and Simulation for design and validation of function quality and performance at all stages ofthe design.
Mechanical engineering is complex as assemblies are designed to perform a specific task with a specific target performance. Digital prototyping, combined with digital analysis and simulation, allows product development teams to virtually create and analyze a mechanical product in its environment. Mechanical engineers must be equipped with these tools so that they can gain insight into key factors in quality and performance early in the product development phase.
CATIA Mechanical Design
Create and manage complex assembly and part designs and perform mechanism simulation.
Finding ways to reduce design-to-manufacturing cycles is a key priority for industrial companies. The required solution must be highly productive and flexible, fostering collaboration even in a wide geographical context and allowing design changes with controlled impacts.
CATIA Mechanical Design provides users with world-class tools to design simple to highly complex products. It expands 3D design to user communities outside of the design office thanks to the V6 collaborative platform, addressing each profile with the right tools. This covers a wide range of operations such as part design, parts positioning, automated mechanisms design, live kinematics simulation, assembly drawing generation, photorealistic images creation, etc.
From chalking out an idea in 3D at the click of a mouse to process-oriented tasks, you can benefit from all the CATIA modeler capabilities including direct 3D conceptual sketching out, geometrical surfaces handling, feature based design and history-free functional modeling.
The V6 collaborative platform enables multiple users to work concurrently on the same assembly and to share and trade modifications at the object level, offering a truly concurrent design. Moreover, the effective management of inter-part relations yields robust relational design and automates the design process.
- Reduce design time with concurrent engineering on complex parts
- Experience more agility with relational design
- Increase productivity and quality with design templates
- Reduce design time with functional modeling
- Benefit from high quality design for all mechanical parts, resulting from strong partnerships with industry leaders from all industries
- Produce comprehensive drawings with market-leading generative drafting
- Ease part positionning with contextual constraints
- Ease check and validation with automation of the motion definition
- Unleash designer creativity with an explicit modeler
- Generate sheetmetal parts and bends with ease and speed
- Productive and agile product creation for symmetrical assemblies
- Validate compliancy with the weight criteria at the product level
- Foster daily interactions in 3D with immersive instant collaboration
- Strengthen reactivity with integrated 3D brainstorming
- Reduce cycle times with automated design collaboration
- Simplify exchanges across the supply chain thanks to the adoption of industry standards
- Benefit from real-time realistic rendering of the virtual product
Support concurrent design with a complete range of integrated and collaborative PLM assembly toolsYou can quickly compose a new assembly with a simple drag and drop of parts, snapping them into position. You can also manage large, hierarchical assemblies of CATIA V4, V5, VRML or STEP parts using a top-down or bottom-up approach with greater productivity.
Benefit from industry-proven relational design for effective design automationBoost design productivity and increase quality of the final product thanks to design templates and rule-based corporate standards.
Automate product creation with design compliance and template instantiationDesigners and design engineers many simple re-use scenarios for designs and methodologies. This is achieved through the use of intelligent Product Knowledge Templates. Part and assembly templates are instantiated in context and automatically created.
Capture design intents and improve productivity for cast, forged, machined or molded parts and assemblies with Functional ModelingDesign flexibility makes it easier to capture design intent. Behavior-driven design offers intelligent features that encapsulate industry-specific behaviors. Users get the flexibility to focus on their design intent and not on the order in which they create design elements. Moreover, Functional Modeling performance improved up to 60% versus V5R19, depending on the part complexity.
Manage skill techniques with generative design oriented by manufacturing processA design to manufacturing environment yields a process-centric solution based on powerful wireframes, surfaces & solid creation tools. With automated dress-up features, a part can be drafted in one single operation and its sharp edges can be filleted in one shot, making it ready to be then manufactured. Extensive catalogs and user-defined features enable the design to be suitable for any manufacturing intent.
Produce generative, productive and flexible drawings which can be visualized in ENOVIA 3D LiveGenerative Drafting offers a flexible and scalable solution to create associative drawings from 3D mechanical designs, surfaces, hybrid parts and assemblies. Navigate easily among sheets with thumbnails in ENOVIA 3D Live to review annotations effectively.
Position parts automatically with contextual constraints for predictable design change propagationMechanical System Design establishes mechanical assembly constraints using mouse movements or graphical commands to easily snap parts into position.
Automatically define engineering mechanisms within the context of assembly positioningBased on the respective publications of the parts, constraints creation becomes as simple as drag and drop. Parts snap together (according to their positioning definition) with greater safety as it depends on part interfaces. In addition, assembly constraints can be contextual to leaf parts, facilitating collaboration.
Eliminate repetitive symmetrical assembly management workSupport both basic and advanced scenarios. You can generate an assembly symmetric to another assembly in only one click. For advanced scenarios, the specifications are managed with unsurpassed flexibility such as generating the associative symmetric structure of an assembly, mirroring each geometric shape and/or its position independently. Stored in the database instance per instance, the symmetry specifications allows for concurrent engineering and partial open.
Manage weight and inertia declaration, computation, and analysis everywhere in CATIAWeight of standard parts can be declared by the user or computed according to material or applicative specifications, such as covering on wires. Parts can be displayed from the lightest to the heaviest, providing an immediate analysis, to reduce efficiently the cumulative weight of the assembly.
Design naturally with a direct editing modelerCATIA Live Shape delivers an ultra fast modeling technology, enabling all users to sketch out any idea in 3D from scratch.
Intuitively create sheetmetal parts from scratch or from an imported solidBend Part Design is a direct modeler which allows user to quickly design or modify a sheetmetal part or any folded parts by pushing and pulling faces without storing features history. However, contextual behaviors like bend, corner and chamfer keep their consistency in spite of any geometry change impacting them.
Foster daily interactions in 3D with immersive instant collaborationBecause designers have immersive access to their working group and part owners, they can communicate spontaneously at any time. Interactions include chat, video-conferencing, 3D snapshot exchange, and email or html format to keep track of exchanges. Efficient collaboration brings designers set in diversified geography together.
Strengthen reactivity with integrated 3D brainstorming3D video conferencing allows all project participants to physically view the project and better understand the case at hand. You can encourage persuasive reviews with 2D snapshots, annotated in real-time, and 3D snapshot exhanges, with synchronized viewpoints.
Reduce design cycle time with automated design collaborationSeveral designers can design parts together while sharing and trading features in a controlled process. This increases productivity and reduces design cycle time.
Simplify exchanges across the supply chainIn addition to the V6 PLM platform which provides each company with a single database to store its Intellectual Property (IP), the industry standards adoption (STEP, IGES) make exchanges between the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers more efficient.
Benefit from real-time realistic rendering of the virtual productPhoto Studio includes an image creation engine based on Mental Ray. This responds to the needs of casual users to quickly create high quality renderings at an early stage of product development.

As a rule, you'd best avoid peering behind the scenes of your favorite online pastime; you probably won't like what you find. Drill into the backstory of "Mafia Wars" creator Zynga, for example, and you'll find a sweatshop where ruthless managers closely monitor the performance of even cafeteria workers, and where employees are pitted against one another and bullied into emotional breakdowns.
That's the story recounted by the New York Times, at least. "Several former employees describe emotionally charged encounters, including loud outbursts from Mr. Pincus, threats from senior leaders and moments when colleagues broke down into tears," writes the paper, adding:
For the top performers, the rewards are handsome. Zynga dispenses lavish gifts like vacations and $100,000 in vested stock.... While from the outside Zynga may have the fun and whimsy of the Willy Wonka chocolate factory, the organization thrives on numbers, relentlessly aggregating performance data, from the upper ranks to the cafeteria staff... The heavy focus on metrics... fostered an uncompromising culture, one where employees are constantly measured and game designers are pushed to meet aggressive deadlines. While some staff members thrive in this environment, others find it crushing... Mr. Pincus began drafting "M.I.A.," or missing-in-action, lists to keep track of senior employees who were not doing a good job or who needed to be placed on more ambitious projects.
The online games company is equally ruthless with outsiders. Zynga happily reaps big profits off addicted users who are unemployed, disabled or, in many cases, children. It opened a hush hush wire transfer operation for players who spent more than $500 at a time on in-game credits and has refused to refund virtual goods purchased by minors with pilfered credit card information.
Zynga is also apparently scaring away potential acquisitions, several of whom, said the Times, have nixed deals with the company based on its reputation - or after meetings like this one:
In the spring of 2009, Zynga was courting MyMiniLife... During one meeting, the topic turned to compensation. A Zynga senior vice president, clad in jeans and leather cowboy boots, whipped out his wallet and a stack of hundred-dollar bills. He chucked the money at a MyMiniLife founder and asked him if that was enough, said one person present at the meeting.
"It was insulting," this person said.
There are worse things than having money thrown at you, but a Wild West, kill or be killed culture doesn't look so attractive at a time when programmers have their choice of eager employers. Then again, it can be hard, even in boom times, to find more humane tech companies. Whether it's Zynga, the I Can Haz Cheezburger LOLcat empire, the Huffington Post, or any number of other "fun" companies, it can be depressing to examine the real world manifestation of an online brand. Maybe it's just best to tend to your virtual crops or whatever and not ask too many questions.

Garth Ennis
I've been reading comic books on and off since I was 15. Out of all of the books I've read, Irish writer Garth Ennis' Preacher has always been at the top. It's violent and offensive and completely subversive. On top of all that, it's a classic in modern storytelling.
But Garth Ennis is much more than Preacher. He's been an active and prolific creator for over 20 years, staying away from the mainstream with his decidedly adult works until his recent work on Marvel Comics' The Punisher, upon which both recent movies were based.
His most current books are a great revival in war comics, such as 303 and Battlefields.
As much as I would have loved to sit on the phone with Mr. Ennis and translate his accent, I was allowed a handful of answers via email from the always busy man.
Stephen Conley: Who was the young Garth Ennis? How did you spend your childhood, what were your influences growing up?
Garth Ennis: I really only read British comics, most notably the sci-fi/action weekly 2000AD and its WW2 sister publication, Battle. Also a good number of Picture Libraries, excellent little 60-page war comics. Always been a big fan of Asterix. Outside of comics, I went from Tolkien and Frank Herbert et al, to Stephen King and other horror writers, which is probably a familiar path for many people of my generation.
Movies- I liked war and westerns, the latter usually with John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. Later got into the big action/horror flicks of the early 80s, like Alien, Terminator, The Thing and so on. Comedies like Animal House and Blues Brothers. On TV I watched mostly British stuff, like Blackadder and The Young Ones, and the truly stunning drama Edge Of Darkness.
SC: Can you walk us through your creative process, from an idea's conception to execution?
GE: Not really. I can do it, I'm just not very good at describing it- I'd be a lousy teacher. And it varies wildly from story to story, anyway.
SC: Any authors you're excited about? What are your favorite novels right now?
GE: I've become one of those people who reads mostly non-fiction, which still surprises me a little- I used to hear other people say it and think, that'll never be me, but here I am. Lots of military history by people like Max Hastings, John Keegan, Richard Overy, Antony Beevor, Richard Holmes and Rick Atkinson. A good number of personal accounts of military service or journalism, most recently War by Sebastian Junger. And some contemporary political stuff, including Andrew Anthony's The Fallout, which I thought was great.
What interests me in history, I think, is nothing more complex than the old adage: truth is stranger than fiction. You find yourself reading about the most bizarre circumstances, the most grotesque characters, the truly wildest outcomes. Stuff you realise that no one could ever invent.
When I do read novels, the guys I find myself coming back to are Irvine Welsh, Richard Price and James Ellroy. Really enjoyed Charlie Huston's Hank Thompson trilogy. Old favourites include Joe Lansdale, Cormac McCarthy and Derek Robinson, who wrote my all-time top novel, Piece Of Cake.
SC: What about young and upcoming writers, in comics or otherwise? Who should we look out for?
GE: I think the best two writers to enter mainstream comics in the last 10-15 years are Brian Vaughn and Jason Aaron. Truly original, unique voices, both with something to say. Beyond that I'm not sure; I'm more the sort of person who hears what's hot from friends or acquaintances, rather than actively seeking out new talent.
SC: What's the best cure for writer's block? Inspire us.
GE: Never had it. Sometimes I think I do, but I just force myself to be honest and admit I'm being lazy.
SC: You've been a very prolific creator. Which work is your masterpiece, your favorite work? Is it Preacher or one of your more recent works like The Boys or your work with Marvel?
GE: I'm very fond of large parts of Preacher, Punisher (the max series), Hitman and The Boys. Other favourites include Crossed, Dicks, Fury (first series, not the WW2 one) and Kev. But I think I've done my best work on war comics; in particular 303, Dear Billy and Nightingale.
SC: How much of Preacher was plotted from the beginning or did you just let the story follow its own path?
GE: Very much the latter. I think once I moved away from the fantasy/horror trappings I'd been playing with up 'til then, and into what might be called neo-western territory- with, therefore, a specifically American feel- Preacher truly began to take on a life of its own.
SC: Any plans to expand your work into other realms like movies? I know Crossed is currently being developed.
GE: It's always tempting, but I have to admit I'm loath to give up the kind of creative control I have in comics. Writing for film would mean some heavy compromising in that regard.
SC: Can you explain the need (if any) for the violent and offensive in art for those who aren't so artistically savvy? I can't quite explain it myself.
GE: The only need I really respond to is to keep the story going the way that feels right. When it comes to violence, I feel a responsibility to be as honest as I can about both its immediate physical effects and the longer-term implications for both perpetrator and victim. As for any notion of giving offense, it's more a by-product than a deliberate aim- let's face it, all you have to do these days to be offensive or controversial is have a couple of opinions of your own, that's enough to get some people screaming their heads off. So while it's good to wake the audience up now and again, don't let it become the be-all and end-all of what you do.
SC: I haven't read comic books regularly in quite some time. What's the state of the industry right now? Are movies still having a big influence on them?
GE: I'm actually not far off that either; I read a handful of titles each month and let the rest pass me by. Any influence tends to go in the other direction, with more and more blockbuster films turning to superhero properties for inspiration. I know movies remain a major influence on my own work, but those tend to be films I saw 15+ years ago, rather than what's coming out now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is expected to vote Thursday on cuts to government farm subsidies and food stamps as lawmakers move toward passage of a five-year, half trillion-dollar farm bill.
Republican leaders have said they want to finish voting on the bill Thursday. Supporters have been working this week to shore up support for the measure as members of both parties have signaled opposition to the legislation's $2 billion annual cut in food stamps.
Many Republicans say the cut is not enough; the food stamp program has doubled in cost over the last five years to almost $80 billion a year and now helps to feed 1 in 7 Americans. Liberals oppose any reductions in food stamps, contending that the House plan could remove as many as 2 million needy recipients from the rolls.
The chamber rejected an attempt by Democrats Wednesday to eliminate the $2 billion in cuts and instead slash subsidy payments to farmers. Republican attempts to impose new work requirements on the program and make the cuts even deeper are expected Thursday, along with other amendments that would overhaul sugar and dairy subsidies and cut farm subsidies.
The outcome of those votes could affect the vote on final passage of the bill, which is expected to come Thursday.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., sped the chamber through consideration of almost all of lawmakers' 103 amendments to the legislation Wednesday night. The House at one point adopted 38 amendments at once in a single vote.
He also won some early tests Thursday, narrowly defeating an amendment by Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis., to cut crop insurance subsidies and persuading Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, to withdraw an amendment that would have reduced food stamp benefits if the House doesn't pass a farm bill.
Both amendments could have threatened passage of the bill.
The House bill, which would cut around $4 billion a year in overall spending on farm and nutrition programs, expands crop insurance programs and creates a new kind of crop insurance that kicks in before farmers' paid policies do.
But Kind and other Democrats say the bill should cut more from farm subsidies like crop insurance and less from food stamps.
Opposition to farm subsidies has been growing among Republicans, some of whom voted for the Kind amendment. The amendment to cut the crop insurance subsidies was almost adopted before a handful of Republicans changed their vote. The final tally was 217-208.
Other votes could be similarly close Thursday. Conservatives have proposed the amendments that would reduce sugar supports and overhaul the dairy subsidies, both of which could turn lawmakers from certain regions of the country against the bill if they are passed.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has said he will vote for the bill but has taken the unusual step of openly lobbying colleagues to support the amendment overhauling dairy programs.
"After serving on the House Agriculture Committee for 16 years, and representing a number of farmers and ranchers in Ohio, I can tell you: our Soviet-style dairy programs are in dire need of reform," Boehner wrote in a letter sent Thursday morning to his colleagues.
Boehner has said he has concerns about the overall legislation but wants to get the farm bill to House and Senate negotiators for a potential deal. Aside from his concerns on the dairy program, he said the change in policy is better than doing nothing.
House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas, R-Okla., says the bill is necessary to avoid farm crises and that it has some of the biggest reforms in decades. It would eliminate $5 billion a year in direct payments, subsidies that are paid to farmers whether they grow crops or not. The measure would also expand crop insurance and make it easier for rice and peanut farmers to collect subsidies.
Lucas and Republican leaders have worked behind the scenes to prevent most major challenges to the expanded subsidies on the House floor in an effort to smooth the bill's passage.
The Senate passed its version of the farm bill last week, with about $2.4 billion a year in overall cuts and a $400 million annual decrease in food stamps — one-fifth of the House bill's food stamp cuts.

You know how when Mattel puts out a doll based on an iconic celebrity or a movie character it never actually looks like that person, but just one of Barbie's generic friends? Portrait artist Noel Cruz has proven that an accurate recreation is simply a matter of some extra effort and a lot of talent. He "repaints" dolls, transforming them from "Well, I guess that kinda looks like Diana Ross" to amazingly realistic representations of the people they're supposed to be.

The Farm Journal Pulse provides some insight. "A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows." -- Doug Larson This quote rings true for many farmers who have had to fight some vicious weeds in the past few years. Weed pressure has started evolving, even expanding. Some weeds are prevalent in only certain areas of the country, while others seem to be everywhere. More than 1,500 farmers and ranchers shared their primary tractor brand in last week's Farm Journal Pulse. The question was: What is your most significant weed problem? Waterhemp tops the list with 30% of respondents saying it was a problem. Marestail/horseweed was a close second with 22% of the votes. Ragweed was also picked out as a major weed, with 16% of the votes.

Mister Marvelous
150 g Cologne Soap Bar
With the launch of Mister Marvelous, Byredo's founder, Ben Gorham, has chosen to highlight a male figure who currently embodies his idea of this fragrance. The first ever Mister Marvelous features world renowned hair stylist Christiaan Houtenbos. Marvelous means wonderful, exquisite, and astonishing. With a bit of strangeness as well –as indicated by the old Latin mirabilis. Because when things are just a bit off kilter, a little twisted or turned in shape, they become that much more interesting. Such qualities are prima facie for a thing to be called marvelous. For a man to be called Mr. Marvelous.

About Kimber K6s - 3"
The Kimber Manufacturing is one of the most successful American firearm producer that is specializing in manufacturing, design and also distribution of various small arms such as the Solo pistols, M1911 pistols and rifles. The Kimber company has been producing firearms since the 1979, when this company was known as "Kimber of Oregon" and focused in accurate .22 rifles.
The Kimber of Oregon was sold to Oregon timber baron Bruce Engel in 1989, who founded the WTD Industries, Inc. Engel had difficulty running the Kimber and soon the company sought bankruptcy protection. The Kimber of Oregon's assets were liquidated. Several Kimber employees, for instance Dan Cooper, left the company to found the Cooper Firearms of Montana in 1990. Greg Warne tried to revive the Kimber in the mid-1990s, however much of the Kimber of Oregon's original tooling had ended up in the north of Portland. Warne soon found Les Edelman who has become his financial backer, who owned National Sports Distributors. Warne and Edelman purchased the original tooling and also partnered to found the Kimber of America.
This company grew very quickly, however when Edelman acquired a majority interest of the Kimber, he forced Warne out. Edelman finally decided to connect existing infrastructure and manufacturing capabilities of the Jericho Precision and Kimber's reputation and extensive network of many dealers to build a line of the M1911-style pistols.
The Kimber K6s is a 6 shot revolver produced by Kimber. It is chambered in .357 Magnum and compatible with .38 Special. The revolver is ideal for concealed carry or as a backup gun. It has a weight of 23 ounces and a 1.39" cylinder diameter. The frame is made of stainless steel and the Kimber K6s has an internal hammer.

Hockey Rink Supplies
Arena Protective Netting
The National Hockey League conducted extensive research to determine the type of netting that would maximize both protection and visibility. Test results and other factors led the league to conclude that black netting accomplishes both of these very important objectives because it absorbs light, rather than reflecting it, and causing possible distortion of your view.
The league determined that the white netting refracted the light and drew your eye to the netting, as opposed to directing your focus through the netting and onto the players on the ice. The monofilament or clear netting also reflected light and is more difficult to work with because of its elasticity. The league concluded that black netting was optimal and the Club agreed.
Laird Plastics offer both netting as most of arena doesn't have the strong light of NHL arena. The reflection effect will be much less in smaller arena. Is the traditional black polypropylene netting is still the best ? According to that study and from many clients experience : Yes. But the monofilament protective netting can be an economic alternative to protect spectator and equipment in your ice rink.

Holder warns of Bitcoin misuse, bristles at contempt reminder
WASHINGTON — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder warned Tuesday that virtual currencies, including the increasingly popular Bitcoin, may be used to "mask'' money laundering associated with drug trafficking or other illegal activities.
"Virtual currencies can pose challenges for law enforcement given the appeal they have among those seeking to conceal illegal activity,'' Holder told the House Judiciary Committee. "This potential must be closely considered. We are working with our financial regulatory partners to account for this emerging technology.''
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that is traded mostly online and person to person rather than through banks. The unregulated cybercurrency has been gaining popularity in the USA and accepted as payment at scores of businesses.
"Those who favor virtual currencies solely for their ability to help mask drug trafficking or other illicit conduct should think twice,'' Holder said. "The department is committed to innovating alongside this new technology in order to ensure our investigations are not impeded by any improvement in criminals' ability to move funds anonymously.
"As virtual currency systems develop, it will be imperative to law enforcement interests that those systems comply with applicable anti-money laundering statutes and know-your-customer controls.''
The attorney general's currency assessment was part of a wide-ranging -- and briefly contentious -- congressional hearing on Justice operations.
Although it has been nearly two years since the Republican-led House voted to hold Holder in contempt, time apparently has not healed all wounds.
Holder angrily challenged Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Tex., after the lawmaker referenced the contempt finding during the attorney general's testimony.
"You don't want to go there,'' Holder told Gohmert, referring to the 2012 dispute over the administration's handling of a botched gun trafficking investigation that resulted in the contempt finding. "It was inappropriate; it was unjust.''
Holder's remarks prompted a heated response from Gohmert: "I don't need a lecture from you about contempt.''
"And I don't need a lecture from you, either,'' Holder said.
The clash ended, at least for now, when Gohmert's time for questioning expired.
On an unrelated matter, Holder acknowledged that a federal inquiry continues involving former CIA director David Petraeus.
Holder said federal authorities are "working diligently to resolve'' the matter involving Petraeus, who was forced to resign in 2012 after admitting to an extramarital affair. Authorities have been investigating whether classified information in the former director's possession had been compromised.
The attorney general, who Tuesday characterized Petraeus as "great colleague'' and "a true patriot,'' said the inquiry remains "an ongoing investigation.''
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said that the prolonged inquiry "doesn't seem fair.''
"It seems suspicious that it continues to linger,'' Chaffetz said.

Driverless Cars Tested on U.K. Roads
Google's experiments with self-driving cars have extremely well-publicized. More quietly, on the other side of the Atlantic, scientists at Oxford University in the U.K. have been developing a system which can be fitted to existing cars and could eventually cost as little as $150.
The system has been installed in a Nissan Leaf electric car and tested on private roads around the university. It is not intended to be used all the time, but takes over as a sort of auto-pilot on familiar roads when conditions are good.
The team led by Professor Paul Newman has developed a somewhat different system from Google, reports The Guardian.

We the undersigned demand HARSHER PENALTIES FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY!
Cases of animal abuse outrages our worldwide community more than most crimes. To hear of a defenceless creature being brutalised by a cowardly attacker gets the blood of even the gentlest soul boiling.
Our animals are being tortured and killed in a trend that appears to be a problem worldwide. It seems that no animal is immune from such callous attacks; pets, wildlife, all targeted by individuals who derive some sort of thrill from inflicting pain on an innocent creature. Despite the increasingly violent and sadistic nature of these attacks and the public's growing disgust, offenders if caught can expect little more than a slap on the wrist.
To keep allowing such cruel and sadistic behaviour to go unpunished is not only morally reprehensible, it may very well have dire consequences when at some point these offenders turn their particular brand of rage and fury on the rest of us.
We demand that Lawmakers start taking animal cruelty seriously and start reforming the Laws and set harsh penalties for those people who commit acts of cruelty towards innocent animals.

Animal cruelty and the case for harsher punishment..
Dear members of Let's turn Facebook Orange for Animal Cruelty Awareness ... please sign and share our petition.
I am hoping to get 100,000 member signatures!
But in order to achieve this number i need all your help.
Please help lobby, create awareness, be vigilant, and let the Lawmakers know that this is an important matter to us all.
Animals are often relegated to the bottom of priorities because, as they say, animals don't vote…
When we protect our animals, we then are also protecting our society against violence. People who have been known to hurt animals move on to hurt human beings. Widening our circle of compassion to include the animals is not just for sentimental reasons. It makes perfect sense. Animals are connected to people. What happens to them happens to us.
More often than not these cases don't reach the courts but the few that do demonstrate our judicial system's failure to treat animal abuse as a serious offence. Magistrates can impose jail terms of up to 5 years but it is extremely rare for a custodial sentence to be handed down in an animal abuse case. Despite extensive evidence linking cruelty to animals to serious violent offences against people, the judiciary continue to treat such crimes as largely trivial matters.
If our system is designed to punish as well as prevent serious criminal offences then surely greater attention needs to be paid to those who mistreat animals, particularly those who torture and kill for fun. The direct relationship between animal abuse and violent crime has been recognised by the FBI since the 1970s. Many of the world's most notorious killers have long histories of animal abuse; Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, David Berkowitz, Edmund Kemper and Albert DeSalvo better known as the Boston Strangler were all fond of torturing animals. In Australia murderers such as Paul Denyer, Robert Barrett and Ivan Milat are known to have tortured animals long before they started killing people.
What greater motivation do our legislators and Courts need to treat animal cruelty with the utmost seriousness? Simply cautioning offenders is not good enough.
In the United States of America, there has been a growing trend towards toughening laws to make animal cruelty a felony rather than only a misdemeanour. Penalties for individuals who engage in deliberate animal cruelty have been increased, dramatically in some states. England has similarly strengthened its animal welfare laws but in Australia we continue to treat these heinous crimes as minor offences not worthy of lengthy custodial sentences despite profilers and psychologists telling us that one of the strongest precursors to violent crime including murder is a history of animal abuse. Tough penalties including incarceration must be handed down for serious animal abuse cases.
To allow such cruel and sadistic behaviour to keep going unpunished is not only morally reprehensible, it may very well have dire consequences when at some point these offenders turn their rage and fury on the rest of us.
Thank you.

According2g's Top Albums of 2013
Photos by G. Autographs obtained in person by me. Thanks to the artists!
2013 was a year where debut albums sounded much better to me than new releases by veteran acts. It was also the year that British singer Jessie Ware rocked my world, I "discovered" the music of 6 year old band White Lies and Pet Shop Boys made a return to brilliance. See below for 10 albums you need to own, according 2 G.
1. "Devotion" by Jessie Ware. When I heard the music of Jessie Ware for the first time, it was love at first listen. Most of Jessie Ware's songs are mid-tempo tracks and her silky smooth voice is the missing link between Sade and Adele. I will not lie, in 2013, I wore this album out, and yet, I am not sick of it. On my iPod alone, I've heard the record over 200 times and I know I've listened to the actual CD probably as many times. There is not a bad song on the album. Jessie Ware has scored a trifecta on According2g.com by having the number one spot for my favorite song, my favorite debut album and my favorite overall album of 2013. If you need a slow jam, you've got the title track "Devotion." If you want a mid-tempo song to groove to, you've got "Sweet Talk." If you want a dance floor jam, you've got "If You're Never Gonna Move." If you need an introspective song, you've got "Something Inside," and all the songs in between are equally as good. And let us not forget my #1 song of 2013 – "Running." It's good for chillin', working out (running – ha!), and pretty much any other activity that ends in "-ing" if you know what I mean! I have seen almost every New York area show that Jessie Ware has performed (which is over 5) in 2013 and I cannot get enough. At one of the most recent shows, I told Jessie about how much I love her and she recorded a special message! Thanks Jessie and needless to say, but I will say it anyway, I am ecstatic for what the future holds for you and I cannot wait for album #2!
2. "Electric" by Pet Shop Boys. It's not that I disliked the last Pet Shop Boys album "Elysium," it's just that they recorded their "Los Angeles" album and to me it's so un-LA. Overall, the tracks were slow, melancholy and introspective, and as a Los Angeles native, we all know LA is anything but those 3 things. It started making me think that maybe the Pet Shop Boys had peaked and after a good 30 year run. Well, I was wrong. You'd never know the Boys are well over 50 as "Electric" is a straight up dance record, that can out bang any modern club track. Tracks like "Fluorescent" and "Inside a Dream" are not only two of the best tracks on the album, but they are two of the best Pet Shop Boys songs ever. The track "Thursday" which features a guest rap from Example sounds on paper like a disaster waiting to happen, and instead, it's also one of the strongest tracks on the album. I find it odd because I typically don't care for Stuart Price's production, but he really hit it out of the park with "Electric." Turn it up!
3. "Big TV" by White Lies. Even though I know a lot about music, sometimes there are just bands that slip through the cracks. White Lies was one of those bands. "Big TV" is their third album, but I only "discovered" them this year. A friend recommended that I go see them live and as we have a lot of similar music tastes, I took his word. Glad I did. I waited until the show to actually hear their music and as song after song were played, I found myself saying "I love that song!" Even funnier to me is that the songs I identified with the most are nearly all from "Big TV." Their music, if they are 'new' to you, has elements of Ultravox, Joy Division and The Killers. That is definitely a good thing! Highlights are "Mother Tongue" and "Be Your Man" (no relation to the Jesse Johnson track of the same name), however, for their tour EP "Small TV," Prince's "I Would Die 4 U" is covered.
4. "Evil Friends" by Portugal. The Man. While "Evil Friends" is nowhere near as epic as their last release "In The Mountain In The Cloud," it is still a fabulously great album. PTM made a run for mainstream success by working with uber-producer Danger Mouse. No offense to DM, but I think Portugal. The Man are quite capable of making it sound awesome on their own. Songs like "Creep In A T-Shirt" and "Hip Hop Kids" are anti-hipster themes, but ironically a large portion of PTM's growing fan base are hipsters. Hey, hey, what can you do?
5. "Right Thoughts Right Words Right Action" by Franz Ferdinand. Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand returned to the music scene this year with another excellent album. The record doesn't particularly break new ground, but it showcases what Franz Ferdinand do best – write 4 minute rock jams that are catchy as hell. My favorite track on the record is the funky "Evil Eye." Also, you should check out the deluxe edition of this album which comes with the bonus disc "Right Notes Right Words Wrong Order" which is an live in the studio run through of a lot of tracks on the new album as well as a few classic FF tracks such as "Ulysses" and "No You Girls."
6. "More Than Just A Dream" by Fitz and the Tantrums. It's been so awesome to watch the rise of Fitz and the Tantrums. I've seen them perform in small clubs and Central Park. Their second album "More Than Just a Dream" is a bit poppier than their debut but it works. The song "Out of My League" has been on repeat more than a few times for me this year and "Last Raindrop" and "Spark" are songs that you will not be able to still still as you listen. Test it out!
7. "Modern Vampires of the City" by Vampire Weekend. I don't know why I have resisted Vampire Weekend for a long time. They come off like hipster assholes in interviews, but I've met them a few times and lead singer Ezra Koenig is really nice especially. I finally gave in to Vampire Weekend and I found that I really like their music. I still think of them as a "hipster Paul Simon" as their music is worldly, but with very frat-boy/bourgeois/hipster lyrics and that definitely holds true for the songs on this record. But there are many catchy little ditties such as "Diane Young" that show this group is definitely one of the more interesting bands of the alt rock scene these days.
8. "One Breath" by Anna Calvi. There is no sophomore slump when it comes to Anna Calvi's music. If you've never heard her music, she's got an operatic voice and she is not afraid to rock. When you see her live, she is sexy as hell (and coming from a gay guy, that's a double compliment), looking like she could be conducting a business meeting and then she whips out her electric guitar and rocks! "One Breath" is an uphill step for Anna as her first album is very dark and noir sounding with this one having epic rock tracks such as "Eliza" and the extremely rockin' "Love of My Life." Definitely check out this album, and definitely go on youtube and watch her cover of Edith Piaf's "Jezebel." It will slay you!
9. "Waking on a Pretty Daze" by Kurt Vile. The internet says Kurt Vile is the new Tom Petty. I can't speak to that, but what I can say is that Kurt Vile is a great singer songwriter and his music seems to be getting better and better with each album. One of the highlights is the nine and a half minute title track. Don't let his name fool you. His name might be Vile, but his music is awesome!
10. "The Haunted Man" by Bat For Lashes. Since Bjork refuses to make a proper Bjork album, thank the creator for Natasha Khan, better known as Bat For Lashes. Her songs are magical, mystical and quirky and she's got a voice that blends Bjorkishness with Florence and the Machine. Key tracks are "Laura" and "All Your Gold."
Thanks to these artists for rocking my world!!!!

BRADFORD Town manager Paul Shanley was thrilled to see his side keep their double dream alive after being handed the fillip of a county cup final.
Bradford, who remain on course to lift the Toolstation League First Division title, were booted out of the Wiltshire Senior Cup for fielding an ineligible player last season but Shanley's men will have the chance to set the record books straight after booking their place in this year's final.
A brace from top scorer Sam Jordan and a Tom Welch strike saw Bradford see off Sydenhams League Premier Division outfit Bemerton Heath Harlequins in their semi-final at Warminster Town's Weymouth Street ground on Tuesday night.
"We're all absolutely delighted – now we've got a cup final to look forward to at the end of the season," said Shanley.
"We had to ride our luck a little bit because they really came at us but we scored three goals in quick succession and then we were comfortable.
"What happened last year was disappointing for the club but we've put that behind us and we've got a chance to win it this year."
Bradford kept their title charge on track last weekend as Jordan fired home the only goal of the game to give his side a 1-0 victory over local rivals Westbury United at Trowbridge Road.
Shanley's title-chasers were also in action last night as they took on Wells City at home.
Derby showing pleases boss Bown
MATT Bown was proud of his Westbury United's efforts against Bradford Town last weekend, particularly after a host of set-backs.
Westbury were unable to put the brakes on the Toolstation League First Division league leaders but manager Bown was keen to focus on the positives after a tumultuous build-up to his side's clash at Trowbridge Road.
"Craig Fisher was due to make his debut but couldn't get there after his car broke down and then Charlie Walton pulled up during the warm-up,"said the United boss.
"Nathan Hallett-Young also came off after a few minutes when he caught his knee, so I had to change from the 3-5-2 we were going to play."
"I think we would have had more punch up top if we'd have been able to play the system I wanted, but it's not an excuse because I thought we were fantastic.
"I was keen to see how we've improved since the last time we played Bradford and I was proud of what we did out there on Saturday."
Westbury take on Wincanton Town at Meadow Lane tomorrow.
All change as Perrin eyes cup
MELKSHAM Town manager Darren Perrin will aim to have the strongest squad possible at his disposal when his side bit to reach the final of the Wiltshire Senior Cup next week.
Holders Melksham take on Hellenic League Purton in the semi-finals of the county competition at Calne Town's Bremhill View ground next Tuesday (kick-off 7.30pm).
And Conigre chief Perrin says that he'll be ringing the changes for this weekend's Toolstation League Premier Division trip to Longwell Green Sports as Melksham aim to retain their trophy.
"I'll be making wholesale changes for the game at Longwell Green, mainly with Tuesday's semi-final in mind – we're the holders and we want to try and retain the cup," said Perrin.
"I went to watch the other semi-final on Tuesday night (Bradford Town beat Bemerton Heath Harlequins 3-0) and we want to get through our semi too.
"Any side that beats Corsham, Chippenham Park and Calne, all away from home, is there on merit, so we know that Purton will be a tough side. I went to watch them a little while ago and the lad Blaine Fitzgerald is a very good player.
"But at the same time, we want them to be worrying about us."
Last weekend, Melksham Town notched up a 1-0 victory over Ilfracombe Town, the with dual-registered Luke Ballinger coming off the bench to net the only goal of the game.
Corsham find form
TREVOR Rawlings feels in-form Corsham Town are a match for any side in the division after cruising to a victory on Saturday, writes Carl Field.
Jackson Hamilton and Gary Banks were on target for Rawlings' men, who are now eight unbeaten in the league, losing just once in their last 13.
"I thought we dominated again for 90 minutes, defended well, and could've had a couple more goals to be honest," said Rawlings.
"We also had a few out again, so that also shows we've got a bit of depth to the squad at the moment, and that we could still put a decent side out and get a good result. We're on a good run and results breed confidence.
"It has taken a bit of time and patience – what with the bad spell of injuries we suffered earlier in the season – but we have a side now that can be up there, and we've proven that by beating top sides during that run over the last few months.
"I don't think it matters where we play, we've got a decent record away from home as well.
"So it just shows that, when we've got everyone available, we're as good as any team in this league."
Corsham deservedly took the lead on 21 minutes when Hamilton netted from close range.
Banks secured maximum points on 68 minutes to avenge the 2-0 defeat to Chard in November.
Corsham visit Almondsbury UWE on Saturday.
Sympathy for crocked Alex
WARMINSTER Town manager says that he feels for Alex Lapham after the midfielder suffered another injury setback last weekend.
Lapham moved from Frome Town to Paulton Rovers earlier this season, but has spent the last three months playing for Graham and Andy Crabtree's Warminster, in a bid to return to full fitness.
The midfielder has seen his last two seasons wrecked by chronic ankle problems and Graham fears that Lapham may be in for another extended spell on the sidelines after he suffered a knock in last weekend's defeat to Almondsbury UWE.
"He got stamped on the ankle that's caused him all the trouble and I think he'll be out for the season now – it's such a shame," said Graham.
"It's been really hard for him but hopefully a bit of a rest will help him get back fit and he can be back playing in the Southern League next season."
Jack Metcalf pulled back a consolation goal as Warminster were seen off by Almondsbury.
Bees' home comforts
TROWBRIDGE Town manager Mike Alford is looking forward to getting properly reacquainted with Wood-marsh after his side tasted victory in their first home game since last November last weekend.
Trowbridge got used to life back at their base as they beat Wilts Calne Town 3-1 on Saturday, with Otis Young levelling the scores after the visitors had had taken an early lead.
Sean Brereton made it 2-1 to the Bees before Ian Groves struck before half-time to round off victory for Alford's fifth-placed side.
"It was a nice change to see the pitch without a load of water on it and to be honest, the game was in a bit of doubt on Friday but we thought that we just needed to get it played," said the Trowbridge chief.
"To be honest, we were horrific at the start and weren't at the races at all but eventually, we got the three goals we needed and got the win.
"We're at home again tomorrow and the pitch should have been rolled, so we should be fine to get out there again.
"We've got a tough game against Ludgershall though because they've been on a very good run."
Elsewhere in the Wiltshire League Premier Division, Corsham Town Reserves slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Marlborough Town.
They host title-chasers Shrewton United tomorrow.
In the First Division, Melksham Town Reserves hit the goal trail as they thrashed bottom-of-the-table Blunsdon 9-0 .
Title hopefuls Melksham, who remain a point behind league leaders Intel with four games in hand, take on fourth-placed Malmesbury Victoria Reserves at the Conigre tomorrow.

If you're shopping around for a new or used bike, and considering different motorcycle dealers, you need to bear several things in mind.
It makes sense to use motorcycle dealers who also sell all the motorbike parts and accessories you need, and do motorbike repairs, so that you can get everything under one roof. It's obviously crucial to find motorbike dealers you can trust, and somewhere which does motorcycle repairs well and safely without charging the earth.
It's always worth trying to negotiate with motorbike dealers on price. A good starting point for negotiation will be the manufacturer's website to check the recommended retail price of the bike. When you speak to your motorcycle dealer, they will be able to tell you their current prices for the model you require. Tell the dealer what your budget is and just how far you are prepared to go, so that they know what they need to achieve for you to get your business. After all, they know the business and will be looking to make sure you are happy. You will be riding the bike and paying the bill, so make sure you get the right advice and don't be pushed into the wrong purchase.
The same goes for buying motorbike parts and having motorbike repairs done. As with anything else, it pays to shop around. Above all, you are probably looking for motorcycle repairs places near you, and won't want to trek across town just to pick up a few motorbike parts.
With so many places offering motorbike parts and motorcycle repairs even within a single town, it can seem hard to know which one to choose. Of course you can look online and read reviews of motorcycle dealers and people offering motorbike repairs, which often proves the quickest method.
You can also ask biking friends to recommend motorbike dealers or where to go for motorbike repairs or motorbike parts. Or you can try to find motorcycle dealers online, which is probably the easiest way to find them. And, if you need motorcycle repairs doing so that you can get back on the road, you won't have time to hang around.
Media Chameleon Limited's Motorcycle Directory and associated website, Motorcyclewebsite.com, are fast becoming the first port of call for anyone interested in motorbike repairs or motorbike dealers. Now in its tenth year of publication, it's also a great reference source if you're on the lookout for clothes, leathers and other bike-related accessories. We even have links to information about bike touring holidays and campsites and pubs which welcome bikers, as well as details about forthcoming bike shows and events.
Whether you want wheels and tyres or other motorcycle repairs, ultrasonic cleaning or biking insurance, see what the directory has to offer before you do anything else.
If you are one of the many motorbike dealers who wants to get more business, or supply motorbike parts or carry out motorcycle repairs, ask us about adding a listing in our directory, which won't cost you anything. Or talk to us about more extensive advertising.
If you're fanatical about everything related to motorbikes, you'll love our directory. With so many business providing motorbike repairs and accessories listed, along with such an extensive range of motorcycle dealers, you're bound to find one near you.
You can search the site by region, by county or by category - for example, by motorbike parts or particular accessories. Then, within each category there are various sub-categories. Within motorbike parts, for example, that might include radiators, bulbs or cables. You can also search the various categories by region as well, making it easy to find, say, someone doing motorbike repairs near where you are. The directory could also be handy guide to motorcycle repairs if you happen to need them away from home.
Because we value both hard copy publications while embracing the benefits of Internet technology, our directory of motorbike dealers and the like is available both in paper form and online. That allows you to search for motorcycle dealers in the way that suits you best, whether that's electronically or thumbing through physical pages.
If it's a paper copy you want to use to search for motorbike repairs and the like, our directories are available from newsagents' shops across the UK. You'll also find at us at exhibitions and shows nationwide.
So, when you come to need motorbike dealers, don't leave anything to chance. Our comprehensive directory gives you access to more details for motorcycle repairs, motorcycle dealers and more than you are likely to find anywhere else.
See our user-friendly website for more information. You'll never have to scrabble around with a phone book or web search engine again.

Finally got a 2 Round Mock done. I sprinkled in a few trades but this is more conservative than my last. Enjoy.
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck QB, Stanford
Pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point.
TRADE: St. Louis Rams trade #2 pick to Washington for their 1st, 2nd and conditional 2013 2nd round pick.
2. Washington Redskins (from Rams): Robert Griffin III QB, Baylor
This is one of the more predictable trades I can remember as Washington moves up to get RG3. The 2013 pick will become a 1st round pick if RG3 leads them to the playoffs.
3. Minnesota Vikings: Matt Kalil OT, USC
The Vikings couldn't be happier to see someone trade up for RG3 because then it means they get Kalil. He fills a big need and will protect Christian Ponder for the next 10 years.
4. Cleveland Browns: Justin Blackmon WR, Oklahoma State
I'm going on the record now, the worst thing the Browns could possibly do is to trade up for Robert Griffin. He will just be another talented young QB with no weapons to work with that will FAIL MISERABLY. Taking an elite receiver like Blackmon will actually give whoever their QB is a chance.
5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Morris Claiborne CB, LSU
Tampa is in a good situation here since its unlikely any defensive players are taken in the top 4. Claiborne fills the biggest need for the Bucs and is the top talent available who's not Trent Richardson.

Well I have gathered enough information to publish another mock draft. This one is of the two round variety. Anywhere you see a ? next to team needs, that means I still need help with those teams. Once I gather all that information, I can begin expanding the draft to 3 and 4 rounds.
Round 1
1. Indianapolis (2-14) – Team Needs: QB, OG, OC, 2CB, WR, SS, TE, DE, LB, RB – Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford – This is an absolute no brainer and no explanation is really needed.
2. St. Louis (2-14) – 2OT, 2WR, 2OLB, FS, CB, DT, OC, RB, FB – Matt Kalil, OT, USC – This pick is basically a no brainer. The Rams will consider Justin Blackmon but a franchise LT is more important and more valuable than a franchise WR.
3. Minnesota (3-13) – LT, CB, WR, S, OG, 2LB, DT, FB, RB3 – Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State – If Kalil is taken by the Rams, this pick will also be a no brainer. Blackmon is a beast and would give Jake Locker a franchise WR.
4. Cleveland (4-12) – QB, WR, RT, DE, CB, OLB, RB, OG, FS, DT, K – Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor – Again, another no brainer. If Blackmon is off the board, the Browns will have to take the 2nd best QB in the draft and someone that fits perfectly in Pat Shurmur's West Coast offense. He has great accuracy, is very mobile, and has great intelligence.
5. Tampa Bay (4-12) – 2CB, 2LB, RT, WR, OC, RB, LG, FB, DT, QB, K – Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU – Another easy pick. The Bucs biggest need is finding a CB and Claiborne is the best CB in the draft class and could be better in coverage than Patrick Peterson was in coverage.
After the jump see the rest of this mock draft
