College Football 2013: 5 Big Questions for Week 5
After the weakest slate of games of the season, we get back to some better competition this week. Most teams are now entering conference play, and there are three Top 25 matchups on tap. Here is what to watch for in Week 5:
Which Big-Name Team Can Step Up?
Oklahoma and Notre Dame are two of the most storied programs in football history, with 18 national championships and 12 Heisman winners between them. No. 22 Notre Dame suffered an early loss at the hands of No. 18 Michigan but is still very much in the mix for another BCS bowl bid. The No. 14 Sooners, meanwhile, find themselves in the unfamiliar position of being outside the Top 10 but still undefeated and holding title hopes of their own.
Fighting Irish quarterback Tommy Rees had a rough outing last week in a win over Michigan State (14-of-34 for 142 yards) but has otherwise been solid, averaging 323 yards per game through his first three and throwing eight touchdowns. For Oklahoma, all eyes will be on quarterback Blake Bell, who was spectacular in his first career start against Tulsa (413 yards and four touchdowns). Bell will be making a big jump up in competition against a Notre Dame defense that has given up just 14.3 points and 303 yards per game in the Irish's three wins this year.
LSU/Georgia: The Prodigal Son Returns
Three years ago, Zach Mettenberger lost the Georgia starting-quarterback job to Aaron Murray and was kicked off the team for disciplinary reasons just weeks later. He spent a year in junior college before transferring to LSU, where he then won the starting job. This week the former Bulldog returns to Georgia, with much more than payback on his mind. They may not get the attention Alabama does, but No. 6 LSU is very much in the national-title picture. This week's game is their biggest hurdle to date, their first of a grueling gauntlet that includes matchups with ranked opponents in five of their next seven games.
Georgia is also still very much in the title hunt. Despite the early-season loss to Clemson, a win over then-No. 6 South Carolina and a favorable schedule (only one ranked opponent, No. 20 Florida, the rest of the regular season) make the Bulldogs a heavy favorite in the SEC East. This game is so big that Georgia coach Mark Richt has actually given Tammy Mettenberger—Zach's mother and an administrative assistant in the UGA athletic department—the week off so no one has to worry about any divided loyalties.
Can Ohio State Be Stopped?
Despite an injury that kept quarterback Braxton Miller on the sideline the last two weeks, Ohio State hasn't missed a beat. The Buckeyes are averaging almost 53 points per game and are in the top six nationally in both rushing offense and scoring. But this week's matchup with No. 23 Wisconsin will be OSU's first real test of the season. The Badgers boast one of the nation's most potent running games, with Melvin Gordon and James White averaging a combined 266.5 yards and 15 points per game. Wisconsin is one controversial finish at Arizona State from being undefeated, but now faces its toughest hurdles of the regular season with back-to-back games against the No. 4 Buckeyes and No. 17 Northwestern.
Ohio State comes into the game with the nation's ninth-rated rush defense, but the Buckeyes have not really been tested in that regard as they have beaten up on lesser opponents through four games this year. This game will be a good old-fashioned Big Ten game decided in the trenches, as two of the nation's best rushing teams face off.
Is the Pac-12 More Than a Two-Horse Race?
While No. 2 Oregon and No. 5 Stanford understandably get all the hype, don't sleep on No. 16 Washington in the Pac-12 title race just yet. The Huskies rank third nationally in total offense and can get off to their best start in 12 years with a win this week over Arizona. Moreover, Washington has a potent defense to go along with their offensive firepower, ranking eighth nationally in scoring defense. However, we're about to find out just how good the Huskies really are, as they begin a daunting four-game stretch against Arizona, on the road at Stanford, Oregon and at Arizona State.
Can USC Air It Out?
Think about this one for a minute: USC—the school that in the last decade gave us Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Mark Sanchez—currently ranks 110th nationally in passing. The Trojans average just over 163 yards per game through the air, and quarterback Cody Kessler has thrown only four touchdowns in four games. The once-high-powered offense currently ranks 93rd nationally in scoring and 108th in total offense. Thus far, the Trojans have managed a 3-1 record thanks to a weak nonconference schedule and a stout defense. But with talent like Biletnikoff-winning receiver Marquise Lee, it's almost unthinkable that a team like USC can't find ways to be successful through the air. Unfortunately, things for the Trojans get more difficult this week with a trip to Arizona State followed by matchups with high-scoring Arizona and at No. 22 Notre Dame. While USC has enough talent to beat any of those teams, the Trojans will have to start getting better performances on offense if they want to compete in the Pac-12.

The second of the two Dynamite Girls in my Christmas in July pile! I love neckties on my ladies and I love Neve's mixed ethnic background. Naturally, I loved Neve's new incarnation and she had to come home with me! I'm tempted to free her tied-up curls like I've done with my first Neve but I suppose they need some variety in hair style.
Here's Neve and Jasper posing on Bebe's car at sundown....Loving Neve's "leather" boots like I love Jaspers!

So, like, what's a "Between Bike"?
September 18, 2012 § 11 Comments
This marks the sixth consecutive year since learning about Interbike that I haven't gone. Back in Texas, mid-September was always so intolerably hot that you were still trying to find a telephone pole for shade, so the idea of going out to Las Vegas, a/k/a THE BLINDINGLY HOT FUCKING DESERT to look at bike stuff wasn't exactly exciting.
In September of 2007, though, I noticed that suddenly everyone in the South Bay had vanished.
"Yo, where's Junkyard?"
"Oh. Uh, what's Interbike?"
Withering look of contempt, unmixed with pity. "It's nothing. Just the biggest annual bike expo on the planet that showcases all the upcoming stuff for next year. It's a must if you're in the industry."
"Oh. Well, what about Sketchy?"
"That dude who's on all the rides, has the cool shit, but, like, doesn't seem to have a real job."
"He's in the industry?"
"No, but he knows a lot of people who are. So he has to be there, you know, to be seen."
"Ah. Of course. And Twitchy? Where's Twitchy? He never misses the Pier Ride."
"Yeah, Twitchy. The old retired dude whose shorts are so ancient the elastic is worn out of the waist and cuffs so that they sag on his can and flap on his thighs. The dude who never buys anything, ever."
"Oh, Twitchy. Interbike."
"What the fuck's he at Interbike for?"
"He likes to see the latest stuff."
"But he never buys any of it!"
"He's good friends with Zoner and Pooter, and they're…"
"…in the industry."
"Well, Zigzag's not here. Don't you dare tell me he's in the industry. I know for a fact he's a mechanical engineer with Megadeath Contractors and Global Radiation Products."
"Ziggy? He's tight with the Specialized rep. Every year he goes to Vegas and gets the bro deal."
"This place is a fucking ghost town."
"Welcome to Interbike season, Wankster."
The many reasons I'll never go to Interbike, ever
My biggest problem is semantic. I can't get past the name. What the fuck is an "Interbike"? Eurobike, I get. It's bikes in Europe. Or bikes for euros. But "inter" means "between." Between bikes? The only thing between bikes should be open space, specifically, 3-4 inches to keep from overlapping wheels.
My next biggest problem is money. I don't like to spend it. I especially don't like to spend it in Vegas. Plus, I don't have any.
My final biggest problem is that Interbike and its ilk exist for one reason, and one reason only: To solve, improve, ameliorate, or eliminate the Three Laws of Cyclodynamics, which are natural and immutable physical laws. I've listed them below for your easy reference.
- You'll flat.
- You'll fall.
- You're too fat.
Fixing the problem of flat tires
From time immemorial, or at least from the time they graduated from steel wheels to rubber wheels to pneumatic tires, bikes have gotten flats. I'm not going to Vegas to look at someone's newest great idea on how not to get them. If the idea's any fucking good it will show up at my LBS quicker than herpes at a frat party. (Hint: if it promises to drastically reduce flats, or make them lots easier to fix, or eliminate them, it's not.)
On the other hand, the latest greatest flat elimination concept is more than likely something along the lines of a tubeless tire. Those who swear by them eventually swear at them. Any bike device that requires injections of sticky green goo is a device whose time has not yet come.
Fixing the problem of falling
From the days of the high wheeler, when riding a bike meant "taking a header" and falling from six feet up in the air onto a rock or into a mud pit or under the hooves of a horse, cyclists have come unhitched from their bikes. The severity of falling has been somewhat reduced by the safety bicycle (that's the thing you ride today, with two equally sized wheels rather than a giant one in front and tiny one in back).
It's been reduced by helmets, though they now make you look like a cockroach.
And of course it's been reduced by our national highway transportation system, which discourages cycling and keeps the brains of countless millions intact, safe inside their cars where they can run over the few idiots crazy enough to think "share the road" is more than a political sop.
Ultimately, though, all of the crap at Betweenbike engineered to increase stability, improve braking, improve helmets, make lighting more powerful, and generally safety-ize the bicycle will never eliminate the rendezvous you're soon enough going to have with gravity. And I'm not going all the way to Vegas to look at things that will be rendered obsolete by the first bimbo who's texting with one hand and scratching her ass with the other.
The true purpose of Betweenbike: Fat reduction compensation
But the true holy grail of Betweenbike is to make you faster. No matter what anyone says, the bike industry is all about speed. The naked hookers at the booths, the screamingly bored pros trying to pretend that they're interested in the 4,000th person to say, "I'll never forget the time you attacked in the Hooterville Crit with two to go and Snots Buggerly bridged and the two of you won that box wine prime, and it looked like you'd hold off the field until Herndy Doo took a flyer and nipped you at the line!", the fanboys and blogboys and mediaboys and Tweetboys all trolling the aisles desperately looking for something original to say about things that aren't original…they're all there in Vegas to pimp speed.
One year it's a powermeter in your pedal! The bomb!
Another year it's electronic shifting! The bomb!
Another year it's textiles that cheat the wind! The bomb!
But after all the hype recedes into interest-only payments on your maxed out credit card, and no matter what anyone says, the cheapest and quickest way to go faster is to drop twenty pounds. Or forty.
Since dropping extra weight is so damned hard, and since it's so much easier to drop $2k on a "fast" set of wheels than to drop 2kg off your third chin, the bike industry annually churns out newer, lighter, faster, more complex stuff to do what a good, old fashioned famine could have effected in 90 days or less.
Tested in a wind tunnel! Dimpled for drag reduction! Particle image velocimetry proven!
These and other complex and totally legitimate scientific principles get applied, each year, with greater precision and with wider application to the entire field of bicycles, clothing, and components. The problem is that you can get all of their benefits, and lots more, by just laying off the double cheese Sicilian deep dish and the three Hag bars.
Of course, Betweenbike and "the industry" aren't stupid. Which one is more fun? Giving up life's greatest pleasures to become a lonely, recalcitrant, ill-tempered stay-at-home blogger, or indulging in them AND adding trick swag to your bike cave?
Case closed.
See you next year, maybe.
In Vegas.
§ 11 Responses to So, like, what's a "Between Bike"?
Your blog makes my day.
About falling: "It's been reduced by helmets, though they now make you look like a cockroach."
No it hasn't, I find that people with helmets take more risks than those without, and you'll still fall, with or wo a helmet !
As a wanker formerly in the "industry" I say don't go. Vegas is bad enough without adding a shitstorm of biketards to the mix. You wanna go to the club/bar/casino with a bunch of aggro bmx douches yelling and drinking and breaking shit? Or the roadie dork-fest with their polos tucked into khaki shorts and kitted cycling socks with tennis shoes? Or the mechanic getting drunk on the boss' dime who is talking to reps only to score deals for his own bike (so I hear)? Then you have the show itself. A mix of 3 types of people:
1. The Fred customer who got in because the shop owner doesn't want to say "No" to his golden goose.
2. The shop employees who have already negotiated terms on pre-season orders and have no real reason to be there other than a tax write-off.
3. Those on the fringe of the industry. These people either have some kooky product to peddle but can't spring for a legitimate exhibit booth so they just meander, talking to anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path; or they are press credentialed. They are a bunch of asses with a inflated opinion of themselves because they have a blog and think their insight on the state of the bike industry is unique or unparalleled. They have the scoop before the other umpteen thousand bloggers post the same crap.
I am out. That ship of fools has sailed. I have already been up all night on a bender, talking to girls who seemed genuinely interested in me (hookers) spending way too much money on various vices only to stumble into the convention hall with absolutely no sleep. Stir. Repeat the previous night's activities, then say, "We don't have to be back the shop till 10:00 am. We can still party tonight, hit the road by 5:00 and make it back in time!"
This year I'll stay home to ride then watch "Fear and Loathing. . ."
….at least my industry's trade show aligns with porn-fest.
Hey, I heard this year's turdy is going to feature a high-wheel stage (three-man teams) all tweed… what do you know about it??
Eurobike has the Kellys Bike Girls 😀
I think the girls would be illegal at US trade shows, unless maybe it was some "adults only" softcore porn convention.

Tomorrow is "Black Friday," which sadly means people crushing one another so they can get $20 off an iPad Mini. Let's retake Black Friday (while also probably participating in it) by picking out the car that looks best in black.
Despite being the original car color, black has been slightly less popular and mostly associated with cheaper stripper models. There are some great black cars out there, though, and we want to see them.

LatAm Airlines With Venezuela Exposure Are Oversold, Says UBS
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
From January 22, when the Venezuelan government devalued its currency, till yesterday's close, shares of Latin American airlines with Venezuela exposure - Copa (CPA), Avianca (AVH), and LATAM Airlines (LFL) - slumped 11.5%, 8.7% and 7.9% respectively.
The airlines were over sold, says UBS. The broker quoted two reasons. First, the government would honor the old exchange rate - if you believe what the government says of course. Here are analysts Victor Mizusaki and Rodrigo Fernandes:
According to Venezuela's Official Gazette, the government will use the old FX rate for the cash positionaccumulated by companies before the devaluation announcement.
Second, based on UBS's calculations, the one-off, non-recurring losses attributed to the accounts receivable exposure in Bolivars is a lot smaller than what the investors have lost in market value. For example, according to UBS, Avianca would incur $17 million one-time loss, or 0.8% of its market cap (versus 8.7% market cap loss till yesterday's close). Copa would incur $19 million one-time loss, or 0.3% of its market cap (versus 11.5% share pullback). LATIM Airlines is estimated to report $10 million non-recurring loss, or 0.1% of its market cap.
To be sure, UBS has a Neutral rating on Copa because of valuation ($144.7 price target). The broker has a Buy rating on Avianca ($25.6 price target) and LATAM Airlines ($20.3 price target).
As with other emerging markets stocks, shares of the three airlines recovered somewhat today. Copa is up 2.6% this morning. Avianca gained 2%, and LATAM gained 0.4%.

1. My light is but a little one,
My light of faith and prayer;
But lo! it glows like God's great sun,
For it was lighted there.
2. I may not hide my little light;
The Lord has told me so.
'Tis given me to keep in sight,
That all may see it glow.

Shine on, shine on now the day is here.

President Barack Obama is a master at limiting, shaping and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House.
Not for the reason that conservatives suspect: namely, that a liberal press willingly and eagerly allows itself to get manipulated. Instead, the mastery mostly flows from a White House that has taken old tricks for shaping coverage (staged leaks, friendly interviews) and put them on steroids using new ones (social media, content creation, precision targeting).

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Denny's Corp. says it plans to open a downtown Las Vegas location that offers a wedding chapel complete with a wedding cake made from pancakes.
John Miller, Denny's chief executive officer, said the flagship diner in the Neonopolis shopping center will offer unique features including the wedding chapel, a full bar and a shop featuring exclusive Denny's merchandise.
"Denny's is 'Always Open' -- 24 hours a day, every day of the year -- and there is no question that Las Vegas operates on the same schedule, so this city was a natural fit for a world-class Denny's," Miller said.
Frances Allen, Denny's chief marketing officer, told Time magazine the restaurant's wedding chapel will offer cakes made from pancakes.
"It's unique. It's different. It's going to be an icon within Vegas. People are going to want to travel to see this Denny's," she said. "The wedding scene is such a part of Vegas, and who doesn't want a wedding cake made out of pancakes?"

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The unknown is always a cause for curiosity and that might best describe how the Florida State football fan base and even the Seminole coaches are approaching Saturday night's game against USF at Raymond James Stadium.
The fourth-ranked Seminoles (4-0, 2-0 ACC) make their first road trip of the season to face the Bulls (2-2, 0-1 Big East) in a rematch of the 2009 game when USF pulled off a stunning, 17-7 upset of FSU at Doak Campbell Stadium.
After watching his football team prepare diligently for the game this past week, count Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher among those who is anxious to see how the 'Noles perform on a different stage. Clearly, there has been no indication that Fisher's veteran team has over-looked the Bulls.
"I liked what I saw," Fisher said, following Thursday's final practice. "They're learning to focus; they're learning to lock in. That's important, especially when you're going on the road. That's going to be one of the challenges. … Our leaders are doing a good job of getting those young guys ready to roll."
Good enough for the 'Noles to maintain their break-neck, early season pace? Fisher hopes so.
"It's a new challenge," he said. "It's another step. If you want to go where you want to go as a team, this is something you've got to learn to do. …
"You've still got to go do it. You've got to do it in a hostile environment. I'm very interested if they handle the distractions and things that go with travel – being in the hotel, the time (of the game) and all those types of things. I'm very excited to watch that."
To this point, the 2012 Seminoles have not disappointed Fisher or their fan base in the way they've methodically carried their practice preparation over to the field. After trouncing recent nemesis Wake Forest, FSU demonstrated enough focus to overcome a 14-point, third quarter deficit against No. 10 Clemson, 49-37, last week.
In recent years, the Seminoles have labored with playing at a continually high on a week-to-week basis. This group, which is averaging 56.2 points and 574.5 total yards on offense, while limiting opponents to 184 yards and 10 points, has not shown that predisposition.
USF announced Thursday that all 65,857 seats had been sold for the game (6 p.m., ESPN). Despite rampant rumors that Florida State fans could make up a large portion of that crowd, Fisher has his team prepared – mentally and physically – for playing in a hostile environment.
"I'll wait and see how many [FSU fans] are there," Fisher said. "It would be great if we could have more than them, but we'll wait and see. We'll prepare for the worst and then we'll have to adapt to the other."
Hopkins named semifinalist of NFF Scholar-Athlete Award
FSU senior kicker Dustin Hopkins was selected as one of 147 semifinalists for the 2012 National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete Award, and by virtue of that selection, is also a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, presented to the nation's best football scholar-athlete.
Hopkins earned his undergraduate degree in communications in a 3 ½ years and is in his second semester of graduate school course work. The Houston, Texas native is also on pace to become the all-time leading scorer in Florida State and ACC history, with an outside shot at become the NCAA's all-time, major college scoring leader.
In order to be selected as a semifinalist, a player must be in their final year of eligibility, carry a cumulative GPA of 3.2 and demonstrated outstanding football ability, in addition to leadership skills and citizenship. The NFF Awards Committee will select up to 16 recipients, and the results will be announced via a national press release on Thursday, October 25. Each recipient will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship, and they will vie as finalists for the 2012 William V. Campbell Trophy.
Thompson, Werner and Carradine added to awards list
Senior tailback Chris Thompson, defensive end Cornellius Carradine and junior defensive end Bjoern Werner were selected for inclusion on two of the nation's most prestigious awards watch lists Thursday.
Thompson, who has come back from a career-threatening back injury to lead the Seminoles in rushing, was added to the watch list for the Maxwell Award, which has been presented to the nation's most outstanding college football player since 1973. Thompson joins quarterback EJ Manuel, who was a member of the Maxwell's preseason watch list.
Carradine and Werner, who spear-head Florida State's dominant defense, have also been added to the Chuck Bednarik Award watch list. The Bednarik Award has been presented to the nation's top defender since 1995. Fellow defensive end Brandon Jenkins, who suffered a season-ending injury in the opener, was a preseason Bednarik Award watch list selection.
Semifinalists for both awards will be announced on Oct. 29.

Most Filipino food and dishes are a delectable blend of native and foreign cuisines that have evolved through the centuries. Historians narrate that a couple of hundred years ago, foreign traders and settlers, colonizers and missionaries brought with them their native recipes and unique style of cooking to the Philippines.Filipino food is filled with tradition and diverse richness of colours, flavours and history. Combinations of these ingredients are seasoned with local and imported spices cooked through roasting, grilling, broiling or steaming. Part of the Pinoy custom is to eat three full meals in a day. And no meal would ever be complete without a serving of plain or fried rice.The following list here are the most popular resto in Los Angeles that offers all uisine.

There are two kinds of comedic movies: the ones that are funny because they are written that way and the ones that are funny because they weren't written to be funny at all. Leave it to a movie about independent wrestling to somehow be both.
Kayfabe, the first independent film to be shot by Kayfabe Entertainment, is a "mockumentary" about -- what else? -- independent wrestling. The movie's website describes the film this way: "In much the same way as This is Spinal Tap lampooned the world of heavy metal music and Best in Show skewered the sub-culture of competitive dog breeding, Kayfabe pulls no punches while revealing the hilarious absurdities of independent professional wrestling."
And make no mistake, the movie is funny and it was intended to be that way. But the reason that it's funny isn't necessarily because of the writing and directing (although a strong counter-argument could be made here), but because it accurately portrays life behind the scenes of an indie wrestling promotion, which, just by its very nature, is as hilarious as hell.
Naturally, the writers and producers understood this from the beginning. When Pete Smith, himself an indie wrestler since the age of 17 (and current ECCW champion), started telling friend Mike Raven wrestling stories, they became aware they had the perfect outline for a movie.
"The thing about wrestling," Smith, better known to wrestling fans as "Rocket" Randy Tyler, explained, "is that backstage wrestling is funny. A regular observer would look at what these guys talk about and listen to what they think of their own sport and look at the way they break new guys in and laugh like crazy. And that's what we wanted to get across because no one has ever actually focused on that."
Sure, there have been other wrestling movies made. Nacho Libre and Ready To Rumble come to mind, but the first was more of a kid's movie and Rumble was, as Kayfabe co-producer Raven put it, "embarrassing." The key to Kayfabe's success was that it would tread on untraversed ground.
"People have watched other movies or wrestling documentaries like Beyond the Mat, and concluded that's what wrestling is really like," Raven said. "But they don't take you totally behind the curtain, whereas in the first shot of our movie, you're already behind the curtain. People have never seen what it's like behind the curtain of an indie promotion, so we said, let's show people."
At its core, Kayfabe is a movie about a small independent wrestling promotion, compactly known as the Tri-Cities International Champion Wrestling Federation (TCICWF) that, after a long and illustrious history, is being forced to shut down. The TCICWF crew gets set to perform its two final shows and to end on a note befitting the legacy of the promotion. But the real story of the movie is about the sport itself and what drives the wrestlers, who if they are lucky make $20 a show, to put their hearts and souls into each match. So it doesn't take very long for the first joke to come. And then they just keep on coming.
In one scene wrestler "Lucky" Lupichuk explains to the fictitious filmmaker who is making a documentary on the TCICWF, the rationale behind blading. "Oh the blood's real," Lupichuk tells the documentary producer as he blades in front of her, opening up a savage wound that spills blood all over his face. It gets so bad the filmmaker asks if Lupichuk needs a towel, which the wrestler refuses. "Oh, it's really coming down, isn't it?" the wrestler says as his face is covered in blood. "Do you have a towel?"
In another scene, the TCICWF commentator (and former wrestler) swaggers into a bar and approaches an attractive woman and asks, "Do you happen to know where the closest veterinarian is?" He pauses for dramatic effect and then flexes his biceps. "Because these pythons are sick!"
"We got really lucky," Smith said of the crew and cast of Kayfabe. "We had some concerns going in and I can't say we thought they were all going to do so great, but at the end of the day they all rose to the occasion and everyone did a fantastic job."
But more surprising to Smith than the work of the cast and crew was the difficulty in actually getting the movie made. "I never thought it would be so hard," he said. "Pre-production was harder than I ever imagined. Production was harder than I ever imagined and I never thought post-production would be so unbelievably hard. We were ready to throw in the towel several times. And we had said, if they next thing we do doesn't work, we're out. But it was having more than one guy working on this that saved us. When one of us was out of the steam, the others weren't."
The producers were also concerned about exposing too much of the wrestling scene. The scene where Lupichuk blades, for example, was a subject of debate amongst the writing and directing crew. "If that scene didn't come across as being funny, I mean, genuinely funny, then I didn't want it in the movie," Smith said. "And it turned out really well and you know, it's not like no one knows that's what goes on."
"The business has been exposed," Raven added. "Eight times over. But we didn't want to expose stuff that hadn't been exposed before. Everything we did, we figured Vince McMahon had already exposed and more than we ever could."
"We put that scene in because although we recognize that wrestling is funny, we also want them to know how much we love this business," Smith said. "And we do. We genuinely love the wrestling business and we wanted to get that across. We want to communicate to people that yeah, we're making fun about this, but at the end of the day, we're all in this business because we love it. There are comedic aspects to it, but, really, there's nothing like it in the world. It's a theatre; a combination of acting and athletics."
Smith added, "We truly respect what we do. But we put that scene is because now, perhaps more than ever before, wrestlers seem concerned with winning. And at the end of the day, it's not about winning and losing. We win when fans have a smile on their face at the end of a match. If they are not entertained, then you fail; I don't care if you won or lost."
At a recent screening of the movie in Vancouver, the audience seemed to have won. "I loved it," one female member of the audience said, "and I'm not a wrestling fan. I didn't expect the movie to be so funny." Another, her friend, added, "It was hilarious. I didn't realize there was so much going on behind the scenes. And I thought these guys made way more money."
The producers hope those comments from non-wrestling fans means their movie can be a success. They plan to shop the film around at some film festivals, and believe they can even win a couple. "I don't see us playing at Cannes," Raven said, "but I think there other festivals where we can absolutely win. Instead of having another boring independent film about someone who lost their bike, they will have a truly original film about a unique subject where viewers can actually learn something."
Smith added, "This shows people that all the big names in the sport started in a place where there were only 60 people in the audience. The Rock started his career in Memphis; Steve Austin in Dallas. So you get to see these guys struggle against all of the things they have to struggle against as they try to break out into stardom."
Not everyone will be an instant fan, but Smith has an answer for that too and he got to make a movie about it. "One of the reasons a lot of people might not watch this movie is because they think the sport is silly. That's good; we think it's silly too."

Just as Michigan State was preparing to take the field for the opening kickoff of the 100th Rose Bowl game, a report about a new contract for head coach Mark Dantonio had surfaced.
According to Joe Schad of ESPN.com, Dantonio's new contract will make him one of the three highest paid coaches in the Big Ten. Ohio State's Urban Meyer is making a total of $4.6 million this season and his staff receives a total pay adding up to $3.74 million according to the coaching salary database organized by USA Today. Michigan's Brady Hoke earned $4.15 million and his staff earned $3.07 million. Dantonio was previously reported to be making $1.95 million in total pay at Michigan State, the fourth lowest in the Big Ten. His staff was earning $2.41 million, the fifth highest among Big Ten coaching staff payrolls on record.
The pay raise for Dantonio is certainly worthy after guiding the Spartans to the Big Ten championship and earning a rare trip to the Rose Bowl. Giving Dantonio a raise should also fend off any overtures from other programs looking for a new head coach. Texas had been reported to be interesting in talking to the Spartans head coach, and defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi, this year's Broyles Award winner as the top assistant coach in the nation, is becoming a name to consider for a head coaching gig.

St Angelis needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
'St Angelis' is a new fashion designer label going global with our individual and innovative designs on our garments. Our logo (or emblem) must represent us in the same dynamic context, be instantly recognizable and memorable and will also feature as the signature 'design' on our garments in all our ranges.
St Angelis
With the brand name of 'St Angelis', angel wings is the main theme and dramatic, structured wings rather than cute, fluffy ones, however, keeping them 'angelic' rather than 'demonic'.
We also need to incorporate the name 'St Angelis' in or amongst the 'wings' design and the font for 'St Angelis', should be along the lines of gothic/Old English scroll but readable and distinguishable.
Also some added 'scroll/swirl' design can be incorporated to 'blend' the two images of the wings and the brand name together. So basically the overall design has 3 component parts.
1. Angel Wings
2. St Angelis
3. Scroll/Swirl design.
Angel Wings must be coloured white.
St Angelis can be any colour or a blend of colours.
Scroll/Swirl design can be any colour or a blend of colours
Overall background colour can also be any colour or a blend of colours as long as the white angel wings are distinguishable and stand out.
'BLACK' may be used as an outline or shading colour or blended in with any other colour.
'St Angelis' as I have written it here, the 'S' and the 'A' in capital and the rest in lower case.
Too much 'darkness' and depression of colour.

Its funny you mention this, as we did a quick search for dual channel ddr shortly after I sent the first email. In general, we'd *much* prefer this for forward compatibility and avoidance of nasty legal behavior in hardware suppliers :-). All we came up with, of course, is the well known nVidia board for athlons, and dual Xeon boards based on the E7500 chipset. Unfortunately, with 2 cpus on a dual E7500 board, one would need 8.4 Gb memory bandwidth to match the peak output of both CPUs, as the 4.2 Gb RAMBUS 1066 does for one CPU now. Putting in Dual DDR 2100 will only supply half the bandwidth to run both CPU's at peak. Its a crazy idea, but maybe the best thing to do is to get these dual boards with only 1 cpu in each. Maybe as a future upgrade, there might be DDR 4200 ram that we could run on these boards, and we could add the extra cpu as a reasonably inexpensive upgrade. Another plus, as you note below, is that many come with integrated Intel Gigabit ethernet. Does anyone have experience with the Iwill DXP, for example? Take care, > > kernel.

DULLES, Va. – A search and rescue team from Fairfax County returned home from Japan early Sunday morning. Virginia Task Force 1 spent the last week searching for survivors around the seaport city of Ofunato, without success.
Spokeswoman Renee Stilwell says a team from Los Angeles was also pulled out because the weather conditions in northern Japan make it unlikely there will be any more survivors in the rubble. There were 74 people combined in the American contingent.
"They left over $145,000 worth of supplies for the Japanese and that included zodiac boats, and beds, cots and food."
The team was part of a task force set up by the United States Agency for International Development, which also pays for the mission.

The author of a pioneering blog about Mexico's drug war has said that she has fled the country and that her blog partner has gone missing.
The young woman, using her pseudonym Lucy, said her colleague phoned her last week to say a single word – "run" – and then vanished, prompting her to flee to the United States and then Spain.
"I'm trying to think positively but I'm scared something terrible has happened. 'Run' was our codeword for when something was very wrong. We had never used it before."
Blog del Narco is an internet sensation which has chronicled Mexico's drug war with graphic images and shocking stories few others dare show. It has been a must-read for authorities, drug gangs and millions of ordinary people.

Jose unhappy with West Ham's tactics
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho accused West Ham of playing "football from the 19th century" after being left frustrated by a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge.
The Blues fell three points behind new Barclays Premier League leaders Manchester City, who beat West Ham 9-0 in the two-legged Capital One Cup semi-final, after a resolute display from Sam Allardyce's men.
Mourinho outlined his unhappiness with the Hammers' tactics afterwards.
The self-proclaimed 'Special One' said: "It's very difficult to play a football match where only one team wants to play. It's very difficult.
"A football match is about two teams playing and this match was only one team playing and another team not playing.
"I told Big Sam and I repeat my words: they need points and, because they need points, to come here and play the way they did, is it acceptable? Maybe, yes.
"I cannot be too critical, because if I was in his position I don't know if I would do the same. Maybe.
"At the same time I told also this is not Premier League, this is not the best league in the world, this is football from the 19th century."
Chelsea tried everything to unlock the Hammers defence and when they did they found goalkeeper Adrian in supreme form.
Mourinho added: "The only (other) thing I could bring was a Black and Decker (tool) to destroy the wall."
Mourinho pointed to time-wasting and aimless long balls to illustrate his point, which he had made to Hammers boss Allardyce after the game.
"He was laughing," Mourinho added.
"His objective was won: come here and take a point. It was not to come here and play good football or to try to win or to feel part of the quality of the Premier League.
"He takes the point. After that he's a happy man and I'm a sad guy."
Despite injuries to Joey O'Brien (dislocated shoulder) and Mohamed Diame (knee), Allardyce was in jovial mood afterwards.
Allardyce said: "He can't take it, can he? He can't take it because we've outwitted him. He just can't cope.
"He can tell me all he wants, I don't give a s****.
"I love to see Chelsea players moaning at the referee, trying to intimidate him, Jose jumping up and down saying we play crap football.
"It's brilliant when you get a result against him. Hard luck, Jose."
Allardyce lauded his players for implementing his tactics in a result he believes was on a par with the 3-0 win at Tottenham earlier in the season.
The Hammers boss added: "This one probably equals (Tottenham) because of the position we're in and the problems we've had recently.
"It was all about frustrating a team that's got world-class players and not to come here and lie down.
"Tactically we got it right in two areas particularly: one was in stopping (Eden) Hazard, Oscar and Willian and (Samuel) Eto'o scoring goals; and the other one was stopping them scoring from set plays. We did a fantastic job."
Mourinho hopes West Ham avoid relegation.
He added: "With this two points that they took from us I hope the point they got means something for them."
Mourinho refused to criticise his players, who could have done with someone of the guile of Juan Mata, now at Manchester United.
"With my players, I'm happy," Mourinho said.
"My team tried everything. Their goalkeeper saved a lot, but they also had other players without gloves who saved a lot.
"They played with five defenders; they looked more goalkeepers than defenders."
Mourinho resisted the urge to criticise the officials, who ruled out a stoppage-time Eto'o strike, having already blown for a foul amid a confusing conclusion which also saw Adrian save from Frank Lampard.
O'Brien might also have been sent off for an earlier tackle on Willian.
Mourinho, who questioned why only four minutes were added on, said: "I don't want the people at home to feel that, because we didn't win, I want to speak about the referee's mistake."
Chelsea next play a City side who beat Tottenham to go top of the Premier League.
"For me it's not a surprise," Mourinho added.
"We go there next Monday and the result at this moment is 0-0. Are they favourites? Yes. Are they even favourites to score again four, five, six goals? Yes.
"But the result is 0-0 and we go there to compete and to play."

Asian soybean rust has been confirmed in Tennessee according to University of Tennessee Extension experts. A significant agricultural disease, the rust was confirmed Sept. 4 in west Tennessee on soybean leaf samples collected in Shelby County soybean sentinel plots. The samples were collected two days earlier.
According to Melvin Newman, UT soybean plant pathologist, and Angela Thompson, UT soybean agronomist, the level of rust spores in the field are low right now. "If field conditions continue to be favorable for rust development (high humidity, cloudy and rainy), it may still take 30 days before we are at 1 percent severity in most fields," Newman said.
Newman and Thompson say only west Tennessee growers need to consider spraying their soybeans — mainly those whose beans that are between the R1 and R5 growth stages that have not been sprayed with a fungicide recently. Otherwise, there should be no need for chemical control measures, nor do growers in middle or east Tennessee need to spray at this time.
This year's crop has fared well and Tennessee producers are expecting excellent yields due to abundant rain throughout the growing season. Soybeans generally rank among the state's top crops, earning farmers approximately $196 million in cash receipts in 2007. Yields were 34 bushels per harvested acre in 2008 with estimates of over 40 bushels per acre this year.
UT Extension monitored for rust in soybean sentinel plots across the state all summer and only now found these few rust lesions on soybean leaves. The disease samples — a few rust pustules — were found on soybean leaves and visually identified with a microscope at the UT Extension lab at Jackson. The samples were then tested with the "QuickStix" method by Newman. Soybean rust has been found in neighboring states including Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia.
Because soybean rust is spread primarily by wind-borne spores and is capable of being transported over long distances, no regulatory action will be taken. Although soybean rust cannot survive the winter in Tennessee, rust spores can easily be blown in during the growing season from areas in the South where freezing temperatures do not occur.
Growers should contact their local county UT Extension agent to discuss preventative and control measures for next year.
Asian soybean rust is caused by the fungal species Phakopsora pachyrhizi and is known to infect kudzu and many other legume species. It has the potential to significantly reduce soybean yields but can be managed with the use of fungicides if detected early.
At this time there are no commercial soybean varieties resistant to soybean rust. Prevention and control measures are expected to raise costs for producers and ultimately for consumers. Fungicide applications can reduce yield losses from rust and other late-season diseases, depending on the plants' developmental stage, the time during the growing season when soybean rust is detected and weather conditions.
In addition to this west Tennessee site, Asian soybean rust has been found in eight states in over 100 counties. States affected include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas.
More information about soybean rust and recommended measures for controlling the disease are available through the UT Extension Web site: http://UTcrops.com. First click on "soybean" then follow the link labeled "diseases and nematodes." Growers can also visit the USDA soybean rust Web site: http://sbr.ipmpipe.org/ and view the map showing positive locations or call the toll-free UT soybean rust hotline at (877)875-2326.
This is the first instance of Asian soybean rust found in Tennessee during 2009. There were no finds of this disease during the 2005 growing season, however it was found in west and middle Tennessee during late October 2006, October 2007 and November 2008. Asian soybean rust was first found in the United States in November 2004. The disease was confirmed at that time in samples across nine southern states, including one sample from Tennessee's Shelby County.

In this paper, we give the first relationally parametric model of the (extensional) calculus of constructions. Our model remains as simple as traditional PER models of dependent types, but unlike them, our model additionally permits relating terms at different implementation types. Using this model, we can validate the soundness of quotient types, as well as derive strong equality axioms for Church-encoded data, such as the eta-law for strong dependent pair types.Insofar as anything having to do with dependent types can be, the key idea in this paper is really, really simple. There's a really beautiful, simple generalization of partial equivalence relations (aka PERs) (called quasi-PERs) that let us give a parametric model without having to jump through the hoops the usual methods does.

My great granny Sarah Ann Turner née Sarah Ann Carr died in Amble, Northumberland on 13 May 1941. Sarah Ann is buried in the family plot in Amble East Cemetery along with her husband George Murray Turner, several of their children, her parents-in-law, a son-in-law and a grandson. Her residence at the time of her death is given as being in Rowlands Gill, where I believe she moved to be with her daughter Lily Smith, but the place of death is given as the home of another daughter, my grandmother Nellie Crackett, in Amble. None of the few photos we have of Sarah Ann show her with a smile on her face which is perhaps understandable looking at the tragedies she had to face. Two of her 10 children died in infancy and she lost a teenage daughter in a fire accident. This picture shows her together with great granda George. I have no idea where or when the photo was taken. They both lived to a good old age, but looked old even in earlier photos when they must have been in their 40s or 50s judging by the ages of others they are with. What really amazed me when I saw this photo is that if I had seen her out of context (without George) I might easily have assumed it was a photo of my granny, her daughter.

After last year's Emmy Awards, many in the biz were surprised to see "Downton Abbey's" triumph for miniseries included in NBCUniversal's trophy tally.
Most viewers in Australia have no idea that "The Slap," the provocative drama series that preemed last fall on ABC1, was financed by NBCU. The same is true for "Made in Chelsea," the U.K. reality skein that airs on Channel 4 sibling E4.
All three shows stem from the London-based NBCUniversal Intl. TV Production unit, led by a U.S. expat, Michael Edelstein, whose mandate as prexy is to expand the Peacock's production capabilities around the world.
The two-pronged strategy is to get in on the growth in overseas markets for original local fare, and to develop content that can be exported to the U.S. and other territories.
"We are putting together some of the smartest people from around the world to create content and are blessed to work with some of the best writers, producers, directors in the business," Edelstein says. "Our key strategy is to grow in English-language markets. …We have local businesses producing high-quality programming in the U.K., Canada and Australia, but everybody in the group understands that there are larger possibilities outside their geographic borders."
For Edelstein, the act locally/think globally mantra makes the job as much about talent scouting for producers and entrepreneurs in far flung locales as it is about pitching shows and giving notes. It's a good fit with his background as a producer with credits ranging from "Desperate Housewives" to "CSI."
The division has quietly grown from about 20 employees when he joined in mid-2010 to nearly 100 as he has initiated partnerships (such as an investment in Oz's Matchbox Pictures), acquisitions (Blighty's Monkey Kingdom) and recruited producers and execs to steer new genre-specific imprints such as Lucky Giant Prods. (comedy) and Chocolate Media (factual). He also enlisted comedy vet Deborah Oppenheimer to serve as his Los Angeles-based exec veep and liaison to Hollywood. Oppenheimer has been working with Christopher Guest to develop a comedy series, "Family Tree," that is envisioned as a U.S.-U.K. co-production to air concurrently in both markets. (Edelstein was in L.A. last week to shop the project, done in Guest's signature improv style, to domestic outlets.)
"Our focus has been on handpicking talent that will give us a leg up in the future," Edelstein said. "What we've been looking for is people who we think can grow the business with the right combination of capital and expertise from NBCUniversal."
NBCU is not alone among the majors in seeing opportunity beyond U.S. borders. Just as the film biz is increasingly dependent on overseas B.O. as its primary growth engine, TV execs hope offshore channels and production can offset shrinking domestic profit margins.
Sony Pictures TV last year dispatched former ABC and Lifetime exec Andrea Wong to London to serve in much the same role as Edelstein does for NBCU.
Time Warner is parachuting into markets around the world with acquisitions and investments in production entities, notably its purchase in 2010 of the U.K.'s Shed Media. News Corp.'s purchase of Elisabeth Murdoch's Shine Group last year was (familial considerations aside) a bid to expand its footprint in key markets.
NBCU's push began under the Jeff Zucker regime, when the umpteenth exec shakeup in Burbank spurred then-NBC exec Angela Bromstad's move to London to launch the Intl. TV Production wing in 2007. The following year, NBCU bought Carnival Films, the respected Brit drama producer and future home of "Downton Abbey."
"Downton's" success illuminates the potential for worthy programs to take off in an era of cross-platform distribution and social media-fueled word of mouth. NBCU undoubtedly didn't see much upfront coin from the U.S. in licensing the show to PBS (which wound up with the steal of the century), but as the accolades mount, the value of "Downton" homevid, digital and ancillary rights in all territories will be significant to NBCU.
"Nobody would've believed a British period drama would sweep the world in the way 'Downton' has," Edelstein said. "Everybody will tell you all the reasons why something can't work. 'Downton' has taught all of us that great shows will find an audience."

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare disorder that arises from tumors and causes ulcers in the digestive system. One or more tumors form in the pancreas or duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine). Not only can these tumors lead to ulcers, they can also be cancerous, and spread to the nearby lymph nodes or liver.
About one-quarter of people with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome have a genetic disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1). People with MEN 1 may have additional endocrine tumors in the brain and neck.

MEXICO, NY – Former modified, late model, supermodified, and Silver Crown driver Billy Whittaker returns to Oswego Speedway, but this time, not behind the wheel. "Billy Whittaker Cars and Trux" has joined the JJ Andrews / Team Tapout #93 as a major sponsor for the 2013 season.
"Although I don't have time to get behind the wheel these days, I am still happy to be a supporter of auto racing, and J.J.'s small block supermodified team," said Whittaker.
Whittaker is known for excellent quality vehicles, serviced on the premises, that can be purchased for as low as $30 a week (cars) or $50 a week (trucks). And they have financing for everyone. Log on at www.billywhittakercars.com, call 315-668-CARS, or stop by at our recently expanded location at 309 U.S. Route 11, Central Square.
J.J. Andrews has been racing in the small block supermodified division since 1997, and currently sits in 5th place in all-time points. Andrews drives the Jason Simmons owned Team Tapout #93, Hedger Chassis. Andrews won on opening night in 2012 in his first ride ever for Team Tapout, and finished 9th in the overall point standings.
"With a fresh car, fresh Morrison power plant, and now the great partnership with Billy Whittaker for 2013, I can't wait to get the season started," Andrews said.
Oswego Speedway runs Saturday nights, starting May 4 until mid-September.
With pre-season registration the highest it has been in years in both the supermodified and small block supermodified divisions, excitement for the 2013 season is at a fever pitch.
Friends and fans are invited to attend the JJ Andrews / Team Tapout 93 FUNdraiser on April 28 at noon at Thunder Road Bar and Grill, just outside of the first turn at Oswego Speedway. Raffles, door prizes, a great feast, and entertainer JP Shaggy will make it a great day.

I have not acknowledged the receipt of those Resolutions, because of their offensive and incendiary character but do not feel authorized to withhold them from the General Assembly.
Very Respectfully
