The bottom line is that if Sanchez is playing, there is no reason to watch. Win or lose. Doesn't matter.
At least with McElroy, it would have been fun to see what the kid could do with gameplanning and competition in regular season games.
The fact that we are locked up with Sanchez thru next year makes me sad beyond belief. It's going to get worse before it gets better.
The game is still worth watching because either Sanchez plays better or he's going to get yanked again for McElroy. Rex will do this without hesitation now because the Jets are still mathematically alive in the playoff race. They have to run the table here and can't allow Sanchez to mess that up. Until Pittsburgh and Indy win two more games the Jets are still alive. Sanchez will be allowed to redeem himself but if he messes up in the slightest he'll be on the bench immediately.
Excerpt from Rex Ryan's introductory press conference:
"We want to have an all-weather offense. What kind of offense? We're going to have an all-weather offense, and that starts with a running game, being able to run the football, because I think it's important. You've got to win when the snow falls to get where you want to go, and that's to win Super Bowls. John Harbaugh always used to say, 'we want to win multiple Super Bowls.' We'll start with the first one, but then we're going to move on from there."
(I'm sorry, SAR revisionist WHAT?)
This thread is about as long as Mark Sanchez's nose.
I still can't believe Rex is sticking with him.
My ONLY hope now is that he has an EXTREMELY short leash and *when*(not "if") Mark craps the bed, McElroy will come in and take care of things.
Didn't they say Tebow's still not ready? Sanchez will be allowed to play so long as he improves his trade potential, the minute he harms that he'll be on the bench and maybe for good. He can't mess up anymore, not at all. He's used up all his good will with this coaching staff, every last bit of it.
Shockingly I wouldn't be surprised if it came out the the locker room voted to keep Mark as the stater. This lock room has shown a strong support for Mark this year. I have no love for Mark but the team as a whole still seems to think he gives them the best chance to win. Something we all once believed to be true. They all know McElroy is a joke and Tebow just doesn't show a lot in practice. I still say this O is built more to Tebows ability and he gives us the better chance to win. I'm not real scared of loosing this game however.
Revisionist history by omission. From that same press conference:
"On how he will change the 'Jets' culture....
You're going to see. The exciting thing is this team won nine football games. This is a good football team. There really doesn't have to be a drastic change, but I think you're going to see a drastic change in some of the style of play, in particular on defense. We're not going to read-and-react, that's for somebody else. We're going to be attacking from the whistle. You're going to see us not (just playing) to the whistle, but through the whistle and that's how we're going to play. We're going to turn the heat up. We're going to let the fur fly and see what happens.
This is a good football team. It's built to play the kind of style that we're going to play. We've got some unique guys, some edge pass rushers. We've got the man in the middle right there (with) Kris Jenkins and we've got some linebackers. We've got a free safety (Kerry Rhodes) that's a ball hawk and to me the best corner (Darrelle Revis) in football. That's a pretty good starting point right there. You're going to see it. The first practice, first day you come out to practice, you will see the intensity in the style of play that we'll have. We know how to play defense and we know the style that we want. We know what it looks like."
Yeah... take complete made-up conjecture, label it "Truth" and then call other fans moronic. Good gravy. (since "good grief" is already taken).
Vincent Jackson and Doug Martin joined TB this year. As did their head coach. One of Sanchez's excuses for his bad individual performances was that he needed more time to build chemistry. So advantage Freeman. And it's Freeman's second 90+ season. Sanchez hasn't touched 80 in a season for QB rating yet.
Because Elite Teams know Sanchez cannot threaten them, and they play the run first. Beat our running game, beat the Jets O.
Your own argument here is an argument against Sanchez, same as it was (in the past) an argument against Pennington.
Stack the box against either, and you shut down their running game, and they (Sanchez and Pennington) cannot beat you with their arm.
The effect on the D of the loss of Revis, and horrific turnover-prone play of Sanchez, cannot be minimized by ignoring it.In the seven games that we have lost, the defense is allowing 31 points per game and our best rusher is averaging less than 50 yards per game. For a team that is built to win on a stifling defense and a powerful rushing attack that's a suicide mission.
Is the D great? No. They're middle-of-the-road.
But the failure of Sanchez to to be productive, score points, or limit turnovers is as much a cause of that 31 (I'll take your word on the vaidity of that number) as is their lesser play in 2012.
Or if Sanchez was even playing at a pure average level, we'd also have a playoff team today.And had the defense and special teams played at their lofty abilities, with all those high draft picks, with the best defensive Cordinator in the league, with one of the best special teams coaches in NFL history, we are a playoff team this very day.
Again, we have two scenarios.
One, yours, we must cut every player on D, the O-line, WR and Running back....and replace every one with a top-10 quality All-Pro.
The other, mine, we can replace Sanchez with a moderate QB who can limit turnovers.
I know which one is more realistic. But if you disagree, thats fine. As I've said, regardless of what you and I think, we're likely stuck with Sanchez for one more full season after this.
I can not wait until Rex Ryan and subsequently mark Sanchez are off this team.
We have become the laughing stock of the NFL. Thank god for NFL red zone and the ability to watch other teams play football. This is madness.
I'm hate the coulda/woulda/shoulda game as the next guy, but the Jets were looking for a game manager, all I can remember reading was comparisons to the Ravens SB team and "game managing QB" while he learned the ropes. The problem was the constant turnover in the offensive side of the ball. The kid had to redevelop chemistry with people and he's not that good, accuracy never developed. Sar makes a point just look at the talent around Freeman today vs Sanchez

Francis Tuckfield (1808-1865), missionary, was born on 10 May 1808 in the parish of Germoe, Cornwall, England. In his youth he was a miner and seasonal fisherman; at 18 he was converted to the Wesleyan Methodist faith and became an active local preacher. He was accepted as a candidate for the ministry in 1835 and received two years training at the Theological Institution, Hoxton. Upon representations by Rev. Joseph Orton he was selected, with Rev. Benjamin Hurst, as a missionary to the Aboriginals in the Port Phillip District.
The two young men reached Hobart Town with their families in the Seppings in March 1838. Four months later Tuckfield arrived in Melbourne, leaving Hurst to follow. Seeking a suitable mission site, Tuckfield made several journeys around Geelong, often with William Buckley as interpreter, and finally chose an area on the Barwon River, near Birregurra. This was confirmed by Hurst on his arrival as superintendent, by Orton and by Governor Sir George Gipps. The station was named Buntingdale, in honour of Rev. Jabez Bunting, an outstanding Wesleyan leader in England. Gipps made a provisional grant of 640 acres (259 ha) with a large encircling reserve to prevent settlers from encroaching too close to the mission station.
While Hurst took charge in Geelong Tuckfield worked at Buntingdale, where in spite of his devotion and enthusiasm the mission made small progress. The local tribes were nomadic and could not be confined to so small an area. The Colac tribe offered most hope of success and at times Tuckfield travelled and lived with it. Unfortunately, intertribal fights were common and Tuckfield and his family were sometimes in real danger; a fire in 1840 destroyed the mission buildings; Hurst was anxious to be relieved of responsibility for the mission; and Tuckfield found that while he could advance the education of the younger Aboriginals he could make little religious impact upon the tribes.
By 1841 Tuckfield was persuaded that mission work could be satisfactory only among tribes completely divorced from white settlement and in 1842, with Superintendent Charles La Trobe's approval, he travelled to the junction of the Goulburn and Murray Rivers seeking a more suitable place for mission work. However, neither the government nor Tuckfield's committee favoured this idea and it seemed that the whole missionary project was to be unsuccessful. With great courage and determination Tuckfield continued at Buntingdale, keeping a small number of Aboriginals around him, attending to his school and gradually developing the area into an efficient farming property.
The government became convinced that the mission was a failure and informed Tuckfield that the grazing licence, by which he now held the mission station, would be cancelled at the end of 1850. In spite of his dedication to the care of the Aboriginals and his persistence Tuckfield now had no alternative but to abandon the site, an unhappy outcome for both his church's missionary zeal and the government's humanitarian programme. Tuckfield was later appointed in turn to several churches in Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. After a break caused by ill health, he took charge of the Portland Church, Victoria, in 1864. Next year he contracted pneumonia after attending a funeral, and died on 21 October 1865. He was buried in the Methodist section of the Portland cemetery.
Tuckfield was twice married: first to Sarah Gilbart of Cornwall; and second to Mary Stevens of Glenorchy, Tasmania. Of his eleven children, three sons became ministers and four daughters married ministers.
Tuckfield was an able and zealous missionary with a gift for native languages; the failure at Buntingdale must fairly be ascribed to causes beyond his control. Later he showed himself to be a greatly loved and self-sacrificing pastor.

text: 25 August 2009 What if torture works? Would we then be OK with it? Print HTML More depressing revelations of torture carried out by US agents during the Bush era: The US attorney general has appointed special prosecutor John Durham to investigate allegations of abuse of terror suspects. The appointment was made after an internal CIA report released yesterday revealed new allegations of abuse against detainees in Guantanamo Bay and at other secret prisons around the world. The report outlined treatment of prisoners as 'unauthorised, improvised, inhumane and undocumented'. Interrogators reportedly used a power drill and handgun during questioning and staged mock executions in adjoining cells to terror suspects. They also made aggressive threats to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the man behind the September 11 attacks, claiming 'we're going to kill your children' and threatening another key suspect that his mother would be sexually abused in front of him. The report also outlined a separate incident in July 2002 where an unnamed agent pressed his fingers into a detainee's neck, causing him to pass out, and then shaking him awake repeatedly to continue questioning. Torture, as we are often told, does not work. It leads to innocent people admitting to horrendous crimes they did not commit, simply in order to stop the pain. It even leads to guilty people confessing to more crimes than they actually committed: al-Qaeda's Khalid Sheikh Mohammed confessed to having been behind 30 other terrorist plots and attacks in addition to 9/11. It's no wonder that KSM (as he is often referred to), having been waterboarded by the CIA, didn't also own up to being the lone gunman on the grassy knoll in Dallas in 1963, or to plotting the murder of Michael Jackson. But as the Guardian reports today in its coverage of the latest CIA revelations: Some of the techniques were judged to have been a failure, with the mock execution described as 'transparently a ruse, and no benefit was derived from it'. But the document says valuable intelligence was gained on various plots round the world, including one to hijack aircraft to fly into Heathrow Airport. This raises the intriguing yet disturbing question: what if torture, on the odd, rare occasion, works? What if usable, valuable and accurate intelligence is gleaned from detainees that prevents actual terror attacks, or helps disrupt a terrorist plot, or leads to the arrest and detention of wanted terrorists? Does it then become permissible or defensible? These are important questions that are often too quickly ignored, or are glossed over by those of us who oppose torture. Indeed, we proudly proclaim that we are opposed to torture under any circumstances, but when confronted with, say, the ticking time bomb scenario -- where you have a man in your custody who knows the whereabouts of a bomb that is about to go off and the only way to get that information out of him is to torture him -- the average person cannot help but equivocate. After all, goes the argument, who wants to be responsible for hundreds of innocent deaths in a terrorist attack, simply in order to protect a cold-blooded killer from being roughed up? The ticking time bomb scenario is, of course, a fantasy. As Professor Jon Weiner pointed out in the Huffington Post last year: Historians say the 'ticking time bomb' scenario advanced by the show, and the Bush administration, is purely fictional -- it's never happened that terrorists with knowledge of an imminent attack were in custody. Such lazy and ahistorical arguments have long been props used by the pro-torture right to justify the unjustifiable. But again, I revert almost automatically to knee-jerk, liberal language. The bigger issue is: why is it "unjustifiable"? There are, of course, countless familiar and obvious moral objections that revolve around human rights, dignity, autonomy, and so on. As Kenneth Roth of Human Rights Watch, for example, has argued: [Torture] dehumanises people by treating them as pawns to be manipulated through their pain. Or, in the powerfully apt words of the Nation's Jonathan Schell: Torture is not wrong because someone else thinks it is wrong or because others, in retaliation for torture by Americans, may torture Americans. It is the torture that is wrong. Torture is wrong because it inflicts unspeakable pain upon the body of a fellow human being who is entirely at our mercy. Unsurprisingly, I wholeheartedly concur with Messrs Roth and Schell. However, there is often one vital argument against torture that gets overlooked: even if torture is shown to work, even if 24's Jack Bauer seems to get results through a combination of simulated drowning and actual beatings, what kind of human being willingly and consciously engages in torture, whether legal or illegal? To practise torture corrodes and debases not just our collective moral character as a nation, but also the individual who is expected to carry out the torture on behalf of the state. Do we really want to be employing, enabling and legitimising the sadists, psychopaths, deviants and criminals who would be needed to implement even the mildest forms of legalised torture? (It is not for no reason that the odious and amoral hangman was such an unpopular, unpleasant and despised figure during the Victorian era.) There is no place in our society for torture; there is no place in our society for torturers. The argument over whether torture "works" or not thereby becomes secondary. On a side note, I remain troubled by a rather powerful point made by the Ian Cobain, who has been investigating British complicity in torture for the Guardian: But it remains to be seen to what extent the growing evidence of Britain's involvement in torture will result in real public pressure on the government. How many people are really troubled that their fellow citizens are being tortured, when they suspect those victims to be terrorists? But that's a subject for another blog on another day . . . › Frank Field's women Mehdi Hasan is a contributing writer for the New Statesman and the co-author of Ed: The Milibands and the Making of a Labour Leader.

Currently most sites haven't linked high resolution icons which Opera 11.10+ could use as speed dial logos.
This extension adds such links to site DOM. Therefore it improves speed dial informativeness since logos in speed dial are more readable than site thumbnails.
Important: extension works with Opera 11.10+ only. In previous versions of Opera it will have no effect
Features of this extension:
* Most popular sites are supported out of the box as well as some less popular sites - over 250 sites!
Images hosted on that sites was used when there are suitable images. Otherwise - images from image hostings.
* You don't have to close Opera while configuring logos as in case of standalone logo configurator application.
* You don't have to configure logos shipped with extension.
Just use opera synchronization and enjoy speed dial with logos without any additional effort.
Of course this is not applied to sites that are not in extension's database by default.
* Local images are also supported. Just enter path to local image in logo rules
If you work with a number of computers and don't want to add each custom site on each computer you can do it once and
copy your data to another computers using backup and restore functions.
Even better solution is to send your favorite site's logos to me so I could add them into extension database in future versions.
Post your favorite sites and their logos at http://forcespeeddiallogos.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=20129
Large source of logos is the site http://userlogos.org.
1. Install extension
2. If you want that Opera used logos for sites using encrypted protocol (https)
then ensure that this extension is allowed to run on secure sites.
3. Not mandate but recommended: reduce values of options opera:config#UserPrefs|ThumbnailIconMinWidth
and opera:config#UserPrefs|ThumbnailIconMinHeight for example to 30 and 20 respectively.
Some sites has low logos and with Opera default settings will be ignored by Opera
4. Reload speed dial (reload button or F5 key when empty page with speed dial is active) or reload speed dial items individually.
Opera may cache old thumbnails so it is needed to reload speed dial items more then one time.
When Opera generates many thumbnails at the same time then many of them may not get logo. Solution is to reload items individually again
- This extension can modify or add functionality to one or more websites.

Nice program, does what it says on the tin, although it requires a bit of work for custom sites.
I have a small suggestion that'll make a big difference:
In the site/url list, make it so the user's custom/own added logos are put at the top. This way we won't have to scroll past all the built-in ones.I also have a bunch of other ideas on how you could improve the program, but they'd be rather big changes, both in the GUI and probably the back end too. Are you planning to spend a lot of time on this plugin or is this pretty much the endresult?

Burbank, California – Aphex, a leader in audio enhancement technology for more than 35 years, recently announced Audio Xciter (TM), the first audio app that dynamically improves the quality of music on mobile devices through a proprietary Xciter digital signal processor (DSP). In just over one month since its July 9th debut, Audio Xciter has been downloaded by more than 50,000 music lovers and is receiving rave reviews from journalists and users alike.
Users reviewing the app in the iTunes Store are impressed with the improved sound quality that Audio Xciter delivers:
"Finally music that isn't cramped and tinny. This really worked. It opened up the music and gave it depth. For a small investment my whole music library got a new life. I've tried others and they didn't cut it," said Emger.
"I was skeptical at first so I was thankful for the free minutes of playback in the app so I could test it out. Much to my surprise it works great, boosts the quality of my music," said iVinnyBones.
"I have never seen as many 5 star ratings for an app before this one and the reviews are 100% right in this case. The difference in your music is beyond compare," said mekeithwhoyou.
In coordination with the 2012 Backstage Artist LoungeTM Tour, Audio Xciter brand ambassadors will demonstrate the app for music lovers at the following events:

Legendary musicians such as Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Led Zeppelin and producers of Kanye West, DMX and Bruno Mars all have relied on the Aphex technology behind Audio Xciter to record and master songs for years. Now music enthusiasts are experiencing the original sound quality created in-studio through the free Audio Xciter app.
"Heavily compressed digital music files reduce sonic performance in music recordings," said David Wiener, CEO of Aphex. "We've leveraged our professional studio technology and created Audio Xciter to restore the detail, richness and spaciousness to your audio experience. All the musicians and producers we work with feel this is a revolutionary product for mobile music."
"The Audio Xciter app brings musical detail to life, no matter what style of music you're listening to. You will hear increased clarity, along with space and detail, that will impress anyone," said Alan Parsons, legendary musician and record producer.

Santee Lakes catfish opener April 1 and 2
Take the carp — we don't want them
Daniel Powell 7 a.m., March 29
Grunion runs are predicted to occur during the late evening hours (generally after 10 p.m. and before 1 a.m.), following the nocturnal high tide, June 15 though June 18. The small, silvery grunion tend to spawn on wide, gently sloping beaches such as Silver Strand, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Del Mar. Open season for grunion starts in June, and from then until the end of summer, the fish can be collected in reasonable numbers using the hands only (fishing license needed for persons 16 years of age and older).

AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine's "F" grade in government integrity issued last year by a national group has led to a number of reforms in the state's ethics rules this year, including a bipartisan transparency bill proposed by Gov. Paul LePage that he signed into law last week.
The reforms also include two bills signed by the governor to stop the so-called "revolving door" at the State House, where lawmakers and executive branch officials leave government service and go directly to work as lobbyists.
The governor's bill, LD 1001, is "a major departure from what we do now," said Sen. Emily Cain, an Orono Democrat who sponsored the bill after LePage proposed it. "It will increase transparency and disclosure and will ultimately improve the integrity of the Legislature and the public's access to important information."
The bill has four major provisions:
• Ownership interests of 5 percent or more held by lawmakers, executive branch officials or immediate family members in businesses must be reported. Current law requires disclosure only if a majority share is owned.
• Lawmakers or executive branch officials must now disclose if they or immediate family members are in a responsible position in a political party. Current law requires disclosure only if the lawmaker or executive branch official is a responsible officer in a political action committee (PAC) or ballot question committee.
• The Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices must draft rules to require reporting of income of $2,000 or more in ranges that will be determined by the Legislature during its next session. Current law only requires that the source of the income be reported, not the amount or range.
• Legislators and executive branch employees are required to file their disclosure statements electronically and those statements must be available immediately on a publicly accessible website. Current law allows those disclosure statements to be handwritten and an electronic image of the statement is posted on the ethics commission website.
The requirement for electronic forms, said Cain, represents "the beginning of fundamentally changing the public's ability to access those disclosure records."
The current handwritten responses are often unreadable and provide little detail. Records will now contain more information about legislators' business and financial relationships, will be searchable and will allow citizens "to make sense of them in a way that is not cumbersome," said Cain.
LePage issued a statement Monday saying, "These new laws will play a role in ensuring public trust in government and addressing some inadequacies in the current ethics system. … These efforts are good for the health of our democracy and Maine people."
Rep. Jarrod Crockett, R-Bethel, sponsor of the bill to establish a one-year cooling off period between legislative service and lobbying, said he tried to pass a similar bill two years ago, "but nobody would bite."
This legislative session, he said, "I was amazed it actually happened."
Crockett's bill was passed and so was a related one that set a one-year cooling off period for high-level executive branch officials before they could begin work as a lobbyist.
The difference this time around, Crockett said, was "the light shed upon the subject" by the State Integrity Investigation, a first-in-the-nation assessment of accountability and transparency across the 50 states that was published in March, 2012.
Maine got an "F" and ranked 46th in the investigation by three nonpartisan, national and international journalism and good government groups.
The score was based on research into 330 indicators of both the laws and practices in 14 categories, from procurement to campaign disclosure to lobbying. The Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting conducted the research on which Maine's score was based.
Stung by the black eye the report gave Maine, lawmakers were eager to support reform. "Neither party wanted to be the reason it failed," said Crockett.
Ann Luther, advocacy chairwoman at the Maine League of Women Voters, said legislators "made a big dent in some areas that desperately needed reform here in Maine."
Stopping lawmakers and executive branch staffers from going directly into lobbying jobs will have little effect on those officials' careers, said Luther.
"But while you're doing the people's business, you can't be simultaneously attending to your own self interest," she said.
Lawmakers failed to pass a bill to study further ethics reform, as well as a bill to stop high-level state executive branch officials from moving directly into jobs in industries those officials regulated, said Luther.
"That's one area that requires further action," said Luther, who said the League of Women Voters plans to bring a new proposal to lawmakers to regulate the practice.
Gordon Witkin, a spokesman for the Center for Public Integrity, which produced the national report on statehouse integrity, said the center was "heartened" to see that the report had contributed information crucial to reform efforts.
"Substantive" legislative changes have been passed in six states, of which Maine is one, said Witkin.
"In addition," he said, "measures have been passed in Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Florida and Rhode Island.
"We feel as if the project writ large drew attention to major, major issues of transparency and accountability," said Witkin.
Those issues "may have been under-covered or underappreciated in the past, particularly given the deep cuts in statehouse reporting that have occurred over the past decade or so."

Zynga is the world's largest social games maker, but has shed almost three-quarters its market value since its IPO.
Mike Hickey, an analyst at National Alliance Securities, who has covered the gaming business for about eight years told Rueters that the executive departures are spreading like wildfire at Zynga and he had not seen anything like it. The company tried to keep its staff after its shares had already slumped a lot. The company said in a regulatory filing that it was setting aside more stock for employee compensation to encourage staff to stick around by replacing under-water stock options with new, lower-priced equity awards.
It did not work and it seems that employees are suffering from a bad case of the dooms. Zynga is also struggling to staunch growing losses of users. It reported a surprise net loss for its second quarter and cut its full-year earnings per share forecast. Shareholders promptly sued the company.
The company said that its poor quarter was the result of sudden changes to Facebook's algorithm and delays in its pipeline of new titles.

New Orleans- bonus day!
... had a look round again, grabbed some dinner, which was really nice. I had a New Orleans combo, so I got to try jambalaya, crawfish étouffée and prawn creole. It was all really yummy. We then headed back to the hotel, the others were going for food, so I joined them for a drink! And Chris made it back inch was fantastic news! We now have George the bus, rather than Gordon!

N'orlins people are not polite in the same way as we have seen to date. They are polite and warm. This fits with the warm atmosphere and the warm, warm weather.

We had dinner tonight at Three Muses - a jazz club. While the food was very good, jazz is just not a genre of music I like. However, you can't come to New Orleans and not go to a jazz club.

A south-facing plot on a sloping site in south-west Sheffield, with aspirations to become a vineyard.

Evidence of Activity
Lettuces (I must have a sad life if I'm posting pictures of lettuces!!)
Blackberries - I'm getting this many just about every time I go to the plot. Freezer is full, family are at saturation point. What next? Ah well, I have a recipe for Blackberry Whisky! Fear not, it won't be single malt, more like Aldi's finest.
Part of the Courgette glut.
The Cornflower hedge is doing well
And don't forget the Grapevine!! Look carefully at the next two shots and what do you see? Bunches of grapes, innit? Must net them to keep the birds off.
Somewhat tidied Raspberries.
I have two varieties - Glen Thingummybob (summer fruiting) and Joan J (autumn fruiting). Joan J consistently outperforms Glen TGB, both in quantity, size and quality. The whole raspberry patch is also very overcrowded. So the plan is to dig out all the Glen TGBs (two rows) & replace with one more row of Joan J. That will give me three, less crowded, rows of Joan J which will give me a consistently better crop and make me a happy bunny.
I've also decided to dig out the Strawberry bed and replace with new plants (Marshmello) at home where I can keep a close eye on them.
And finally, here's a cheery chap.
What's not to like about Sunflowers?!!

The first e-bike I saw that wasn't hideous was this blue iZip bike.
Then I saw these Kilowatt bikes. I thought they looked pretty cool for being electric assist. I wish that I had gotten a chance to take one for a ride, but I didn't come to their booth until the end of the last day of Interbike. I love that one of the frames is a mixte style. I love the argyle detail and the colors. The awesome iridescent purple/blue color was apparently a mistake gone terribly right and now is a production color. It looks really nice in person.

+1. You really need a minimum of 3 suits to ensure proper rotation (allow the fabric to air out and wrinkles to fall out, and so on) to allow the life of the suit to... well, not be extremely short lived. You really only need a pair of black shoes for interviews and formal events, but they are a necessity at some point in the shoe wardrobe, whether first or last. You also need at least two pairs of shoes to rotate (also to air out and settle back to form), although I really think three is optimal and the minimum rotation I use.

What is this?! Could it be that something nice has come to Flint?? A new club called Purple Moon opened in Flint last week, and it seems to be getting great reviews. It's funny to see someone talk up a place and then show the address with "Flint, MI" in it. It just doesn't seem to fit. I will definitely be providing my support to the cause, though, by visiting very soon.

I saw One Hour Photo on Friday and Dahmer last night. This might be my rating system:
What? – This movie shouldn't exist
Meh – It's not a waste of time
Wow – It's thoroughly entertaining
One Hour Photo: Meh
It's not bad. It's not great. I enjoyed it.
Dahmer: What?
I'm not sure this movie accomplished anything. Seventy five percent of the movie is flashbacks and ninety percent of the movie sucks. He doesn't even eat anybody. Disappointing.

Stage Beauty
The theaterthe Downtown one, the only one that really means anything in New York's cultural lifewas born at roughly the same time as The Village Voice, and the two grew up together, two reckless runaway kids nurtured by the all-embracing foster mother, Manhattan. For 50 years they've alternately struggled against and courted each other, locked in a relationship that's half sibling rivalry and half symbiosis. For 50 years, they've learned from each other, swayed each other's feelings, and bickered shamelessly over matters small and large. And as they head toward middle age, both a little careworn and a little adrift in the flood of new technologies that surrounds us, their love-fight is still going on. They may cling wishfully to their memories of a less troubled time, when they were among the few things that New Yorkers thought mattered, but they're both still herestill hopeful, still feisty, still ready for a brawl or a lovefest with each other.
I should know: I've been here for 34 of those 50 years, sometimes in the thick of the fighting but more often on the sidelines, laughing and refereeing. I like to think I'm part of the reason these unheavenly twins remember to have memories at all. My multiple roles guarantee a good overall view of the situation, but absolutely no objectivity; these recollections are purely mine: If you think the theater and the Voice aren't, or weren't, what I say, get your own critical gig and write your own version of the tale.
Both the Voice and the theater, of course, long predate my arrival here. Off-Broadway had existed well before the generation of artists that vitalized it in the 1950s. They brought to it a consciousness of war, the Holocaust, and the atomic future's potential for global destruction. They brought an education that, thanks to the G.I. Bill, had spread across a wider class spectrum, plus a prickly sense of needing to defend themselves against an era of conformity, McCarthyite witch hunts, and corporate anonymity.
Off-Broadway was a land of crazy kids with a Mickey-and-Judy desire to put on a show and a few bucks to rent an empty storefront or unused church basement. And the Voice, operating out of an old store-front on Sheridan Square, was another such operation: The paper's flamboyant Mickey Rooney, as it were, was its co-founder Norman Mailer, not only a theatrical figure himself, but the inaugurator of the double game that would become a byword for Voice critics: being both a practicing playwright and a commentator who used the paper to sound off on theatrical issues. He also established the longtime Voice tradition, now regrettably in abeyance, of making an important production the subject of multiple reviews from differing viewpoints: Jerry Tallmer, the Voice's first designated drama critic, reviewed the New York premiere of Waiting for Godot; Mailer weighed in on it a few weeks later.

It was Tallmer, however, who established that mark of theater critics' abiding love for their subject, the Obie awards, first given in the very first year of the Voice's existence. The prize events of that year, interestingly, were revivals of shows Broadway had sloughed off in earlier decadesThe Iceman Cometh and The Threepenny Operaplus the founding of what was then called the Shakespeare Workshop, by a blacklisted TV stage manager named Joseph Papirofsky. Both Papp, as he renamed himself, and his organization would soon loom very much larger in New York's theatrical life.
Because the Downtown theater scene was burgeoning so rapidly, Tallmer soon found himself not alone in what was, for the next decade and a half, often the largest single section of the paper. (I've been told that market research in the '80s found that people bought the Voice for want ads and theater reviews, in that order.) Because it struggled to cover everything, the Voice became a byword with insiders as the place to look for the scoop on what was happening in theater. I have no space to name the floods of intelligent, outspoken, artistically percipient souls who've reviewed for us over the decades, but the list includes, besides eminent theater practitioners and educators, any number of artists playing hooky from other fields like music and the visual arts. We've famously bickered in print with each other as well as with those we were reviewing. And it's virtually a tradition that no Voice critic, when working in the theater, ever gets a good review in the Voice; logrolling ain't us.
That so many Voice critics have been, openly, practitioners has often given uptown journalists pause. But it had to do less with the long-standing tradition of the critic-playwright than with the communal nature of what had evolved, by the early 1960s, into the Off-Off-Broadway movement. While Off-Broadway itself became more upscale and commercial minded, the Downtown theater had burgeoned into a large, loose pool of extraordinary talents that was a community in itself. Not to participate actively would have marked one as hardly more than a tourist in an audience where, it sometimes seemed, everyone was a practitioner, and usually a multitasker at that. For critics to expose their own work to criticism established not only their bona fides but their empathy with the people they were reviewing: You couldn't say that a reviewer didn't know what it was like to have his work criti-cized when he was as likely as you to be the next target of a Voice pan.
The contentious, wildcat time of Off-Off-Broadway was inevitably followed by a period of stabilizing and consolidating, in which many of the freewheeling theaters became nonprofit corporate institutions. Actors' Equity's adoption of the Showcase Code (extensively debated in the Voice) put a stop to some abuses in Off-Off's treatment of performers, but also, to some degree, hampered the scene's flexibility. Inevitably, a newer, younger wildcat scene emerged further Downtown to escape it. The Voice had always been divided critically between those who valued experiment for its own sake, as a principle, and those, like myself, who preferred theatrical value to principle on any ground. This conflict still flares up occasionally, though nowadays, as the world goes to hell in a Republican handbasket, we are all so united against the prevailing political situation that aesthetic disputes have mellowed considerably.
It's hard, after all, to fight aesthetic battles after they've been won. The Off-Broadway generation was reared on the idea of theater, and on a tradition of great acting and great playwrights; its dual ambition was to build the American equivalent of a European subsidized theater and to make the most meaningful new plays visible as part of that tradition. The first Off-Off generation, raised in the era between Broadway's shrunken touring circuits and the national explosion of resident theaters, had mostly derived its idea of theater from old movies; it built a theater of Busby Berkeley and Cocteau visions on a Mickey- and-Judy scale. The current generation moves in two directions, one wing pushing further toward abstraction and deconstruction, while the other struggles to climb back toward a renewed mainstream. But they interpenetrate, living in each other's world and making free use of each other's tactics. And my younger colleagues move freely among them.
I came to The Village Voice 34 years ago, because it was the place where the theater seemed most exciting, most gripping, most meaningful, and most delightful. I think that was true when Jerry Tallmer started writing in 1955. And, however disheartened I may get over a show, a season, or a trend, I think it's still true today. Along with the lengthy list of Voice critics for whose names this essay has no room, I wish I could add the miles-long list of all the superb artists whom working for the Voice has allowed me to discover. If I had a penny for each of them, I'd be a millionaire.

They played at a whole new level against us."
Brad Richards
"It was certainly a special night. The best father-son ever to play, and to see Bobby pass the jersey over to Brett. And I think it's only fitting for Brett to wear No. 9 with Hull on the back. It was a nice, classy ceremony."

Zhou, H.J., Chantrell, R.W. orcid.org/0000-0001-5410-5615, Weller, D. et al. (1 more author) (2003) Theory of rotational processes in perpendicular media and application to anisotropy measurement. IEEE Transactions on Magnetics. pp. 1902-1907. ISSN 1941-0069
Numerical and analytical calculations of rotational process in perpendicular recording media are presented. The work supports recent experimental studies that suggest that the measurement of rotational magnetization processes can be used to determine the value of the anisotropy constant. An expression for the rotational magnetization for a noninteracting system is derived taking into account the dispersion of K and the easy-axis orientation. The calculations show that the experiments determine the mean value of H-K, essentially independent of the angular dispersion. A numerical (Monte-Carlo based) micromagnetic model is used to study the effects of magnetostatic and exchange interactions at nonzero temperatures. It is shown that for small values of KV/kT, irreversible magnetization processes take place, which precludes the use of the rotational magnetization method to determine K values. This effect is enhanced by the presence of the magnetostatic interaction. However, the presence of exchange interactions is found to enforce coherent rotation in small fields, reducing the irreversible processes and allowing the determination of H-K. Under these circumstances, it is shown that the exchange does not significantly affect the value of HK, and that a well-defined demagnetization correction of 4piM is appropriate. Finally, a comparison with experimental data gives good agreement for multilayer and granular media and shows the role of domain formation on the rotational magnetization process.

A structure for trapping hazardous dust in a work place which also serves as a walkway is disclosed. A removable cover member (12) includes a frame and a central support member (18), the frame and central support member (18) being covered with expanded metal mesh (22). The cover rests upon a shallow pan (10), the pan (10) having a raised central ridge (28) which is aligned with the central support member (18) in the cover (12) when the cover (12) is placed on the pan (10). The central support member (18) and the central raised ridge (28) cooporate to limit the deflection of the expanded metal mesh (22) under the weight of a user. The lower pan (10) is provided with a hook (34), for engaging other similar pans (10) for assembling a walkway or other desired configuration of dust collecting pans. The pan may be filled with a non-evaporating liquid to permanentaly retain dust falling into the pan, and also dust being scraped from the shoes of a user by the expanded metal mesh.
We claim:
1. A dust collection and walkway device, comprising:
a first generally pan-shaped member;
a cover member forming a frame and adapted to cooperate with said first member and be supported upon said first member;
said cover member including a perforated planar member attached to said frame;
said frame including a support member;
said first member including a second support member adapted to be in alignment with said support member when said first member and said cover member are aligned;
said first member including means adapted to engage a second said first member for attaching said first member to said second said first member;
said perforated planar member and said support member being resiliently deformable,
whereby said perforated planar member and said support member may be deformed by the weight of a user, said deformation of said support member being limited by contact with said second support member when said second member and said first memberare aligned.
2. A dust collection and walkway device according to claim 1, wherein:
said first member includes a lip portion adapted to cooperate with said cover member to removably support said cover member upon said first member.
3. A dust collection and walkway device according to claim 1, wherein:
said perforated planar member is an expanded metallic mesh material.
4. A dust collection and walkway device according to claim 1, wherein:
said support member is a rod member located along a longitudinal axis of said frame, said frame having a longitudinal axis.
5. A dust collection and walkway device according to claim 1, wherein:
said means adapted to engage a second said first member is a hook member;
said frame being smaller than said first member for providing a space therebetween adapted to receive a hook member of another said first member.
6. A dust collection and walkway device according to claim 1, wherein:
said second support member is a raised portion of said first member;
said raised portion being located upon a longitudinal axis of said first member, said first member having a longitudinal axis.
This application relates to the field of capturing hazardous dust from manufacturing operations. In particular, this application relates a modular structure for a combined walkway and hazardous dust collection pan.
In many manufacturing industries, dust around the work area is a consistant problem. It is a particularily serious problem in industries working with biologically hazardous materials, such as in the manufacture of lead-acid batteries. As thelead is handled, and as battery assemblies and sub-assemblies move down the production line, metallic lead dust and lead oxide dusts fall to the floor around the machines. Lead on the floor collects on a workers shoes, socks, and clothing, and isstirred up by movement, and inhaled.
To reduce the hazard involved, elevated, open-surface, raised walkways have been provided, so that the worker does not walk directly in the falling dust. A more effective way of minimizing the hazard is to dig pits or trenches around themachines used in the manufacturing operation, and cover these pits or trenches with a perforated cover, and fill them with a fluid, perferably non-evaporative, for entrapping dust particals that may fall through the cover. Such pits or trenches requirecleaning from time to time, a difficult and time consuming operation. In addition, it is necessary on an infrequent basis to re-configure a production line to produce various types or styles of battery. In that case, new pits or trenches must beconstructed in the flooring around the machines in the revised configuration.
The instant invention overcomes these and other deficiencies of prior attempts to solve a similar problem.
It is an object of the invention to provide a modular combined collection pan and walkway which may be used to virtually eliminate hazardous dust such as lead in the walking area of a person. It is an advantage of the invention that thecollection pan may be used to capture and retain hazardous dust, by being partially filled with oil or with another non-evaporating fluid.
It is a further object of the invention to provide such a device which is easy to clean. It is an advantage of the invention that the possibility of lead dust intoxication by a worker cleaning the device is eliminated. This feature is attainedby providing the device with a removable cover, which can be lifted out, and the collection pan vacuumed, in place. Alternately, the device may be emptied and cleaned after removal from an assembly of such devices.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a walkway structure which entraps lead dust, and may be easily repositioned. It is an advantage of such structure that expensive excavation in dust-contaminated pits and trenches is not requiredto rearrange a production line, it being a feature of the invention that the combined walkway and dust-entrapping pan structure is provided with integral hooks for forming a integrated structure which may be easily re-arranged.
FIG. 1 is a perspective, exploited view showing the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a top elevational view of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the preferred embodiment of the invention, taking in direction 3--3 shown in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a detail view of the preferred embodiment of the invention, take in direction 4--4 as shown in FIG. 2.
As shown in FIG. 1, the preferred embodiment of the invention includes a pan-shaped structure 10, and a removable cover assembly 12. Cover assembly 12 has two side members 14 and two end members 16, forming a generally rectangular frame, andpreferably joined by welding. A support member shown as rod 18 is mounted between end members 16, approximately centered along the links of end members 16, and preferably contiguous with a lower edge 20 of end member 16. Rod 18 and end members 16 arepreferably joined by welding. A perforated support surface shown as expanded mesh 22 is preferably welded in place in the frame formed by side members 14 and end members 16, and preferably rests on rod 18, and is joined to rod 18 by welding.
Lower member 10 is generally pan-shaped, and includes lip portion 24 including support surfaces 26 for supporting side members 14 of top member 12. Lower member 10 includes a raised central ridge 28 centrally formed between end walls 30 of lowermember 10. In the preferred embodiment, ridge 28 has a generally-rectangular cross section, and is formed as part of bottom plate 31 of lower member 10, side walls 32 being integrally formed with bottom plate 31, and end walls 30 being joined to plate31 and walls 32 be welding. A means for attaching a lower member 10 to another identical lower member 10 is shown as hook 34, preferably attached to ridge 28 and to one end wall 30 by welding, and having a depending member 36 spaced outwardly from, andparallel, to end wall 30.
As shown in FIG. 2, rod 18 and ridge 28 are aligned when upper member 12 is aligned with lower member 10, and side members 14 are supported on surfaces 26 of lip portion 24. As shown in FIG. 2, there is a gap 37 between end walls 30 of lowermember 10 and end member 16 of upper member 12, and between lip portion 24 of side wall 32 and side member 14 of upper member 12. In the preferred embodiment, gap 37 is of a dimension appropriate to accommodate the material of hook member 34, both toallow upper member 12 to be put in place in lower member 10 after hook member 34 is installed, and to allow hook member 34 of other lower members 10 to be attached to the lower member 10 shown in FIG. 2, adjacent either end wall 32 or adjacent end wall30 opposite hook member 34.
As shown in FIG. 3, the perforated member shown as expanded mesh 22 has a preferably sharp-edged, diamond-shaped cross section, adapted to scrape materials from the bottom of a worker's shoes when walking upon member 22. Also shown in FIG. 3 isa space 38 formed between a lowermost portion of rod 18 and a surface 40 of ridge 28. As will be apparent, when the weight of a worker is placed upon member 22, mesh 22 will deflect to provide a resilient surface which is comfortable for walking andstanding. Contact of surface 42 of rod 18 with surface 40 of ridge 28 limits the deflection of mesh 22, either when the weight of a user is placed on member 22 adjacent rod 18, or on mesh 22 between rod 18 and side member 14 of upper assembly 12. Aswill be apparent, member 22 may deflect between rod 18 and side member 14, the deflection in this area being limited by the rigidity of mesh 22 and of end members 16. This provides a resilient and non-skid flooring surface, which is durable, and whichdoes not result in discomfort for a user required to stand on it for a prolonged period of time.
As will be apparent, from inspection of FIG. 4, the gap 44 between depending member 36 of hook member 34 and end wall 30 is adapted to receive an end wall 30 or a side wall 32 of a similar lower member 10, for retaining a plurality of members 10in a desired configuration.
As will be apparent, numerous modification and variations of the disclosed embodiment of the invention may be constructed without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

BRIEF-Checkers Drive-In Restaurants agrees to be sold for $525 mln - WSJ
* Checkers Drive-In Restaurants has agreed to be sold to Oak Hill Capital Partners for $525 million in deal expected to be announced on Thursday - WSJ
Nov 22 - Fitch Ratings has assigned Turbo Finance 3 Plc's notes the following final ratings:
GBP273.4m Class A: 'AAAsf'; Outlook Stable
GBP27.8m Class B: 'A+sf'; Outlook Stable
GBP26.2m Class C: NR
GBP5.3m Class D: NR
The notes are backed by UK auto loan receivables originated by FirstRand Bank Limited, London Branch (FRB, 'BBB+'/Negative/'F2'). The ratings are based on Fitch's assessment of FRB's origination and servicing procedures, the agency's expectations of future asset performance, the available credit enhancement (CE), and the transaction's legal structure.
At closing, the proceeds of the class A to C notes were used to purchase an amortising pool of UK auto loan receivables originated by FRB via car dealers and specialised car finance brokers under the trading name of MotoNovo (which was known as Carlyle Finance prior to 14 February 2012). MotoNovo was acquired by FRB in 2006 and is the fifth-largest provider of point-of-sale car finance within the UK. The proceeds of the class D notes have been used to fund the reserve account.
CE is provided via overcollateralisation provided by subordination of the junior notes and a cash reserve account funded at closing. The class A notes benefit from 18.11% CE (16.5% overcollateralisation, 1.6% cash reserve) and the class B notes from 9.62% CE (8.0% overcollateralisation, 1.6% cash reserve).
The issuer entered into a fixed/floating rate swap agreement with J. P. Morgan Securities plc ('A+'/Stable/'F1+') to hedge the interest rate mismatch in relation to the class A and B notes. BNP Paribas Security Services, London Branch ('A+'/Stable/'F1+') acts as account bank to the issuer.
Fitch analysed a preliminary portfolio, which as at 31 October 2012, comprised 57,434 loans with an average current balance of GBP5,672. The portfolio consists primarily of used car loans (92.1% by balance), with a weighted average seasoning of 11 months and a weighted average remaining term of 40 months. The portfolio is diverse with respect to regional and manufacturer distribution.
FRB acts as servicer to the transaction out of centralised operations based in Cardiff, Wales. The transaction also benefits from a back-up servicer (BUS), Homeloan Management Ltd (unrated), which is contracted to board the portfolio and commence servicing within 60 days of invocation of the BUS agreement. Fitch considers the implementation of a BUS positive for the transaction to reduce payment interruption and liquidity risks.
Fitch analysed obligor credit risk by forming base case default and recovery assumptions and then stressing these assumptions according to the rating of each note. Although the underlying contracts do not feature any direct residual value risk, Fitch notes that around 94.6% of the underlying receivables are regulated by the Consumer Credit Act and are therefore exposed to voluntary termination (VT) losses. In Fitch's opinion, average used car values, original loan-to-value ratios and original loan tenors are key drivers of VT risk. Fitch formed a view on the extent of VT losses by estimating the future car values relative to loan balances in different rating scenarios.
In common with other UK auto loan ABS transactions, the title to the underlying vehicle will be retained by the originator. However, the issuer has the right to receive all sale proceeds from the vehicles. Based on the transaction's structure, specifically the provision for an administrator recovery incentive payment of 2.5%, Fitch's quantitative analysis has assumed that the issuer will be able to realise sale proceeds from defaulted and voluntarily terminated vehicles.
Fitch has a stable asset and rating performance outlook for the UK auto ABS sector. Fitch considers that unemployment levels as well as used car value are key drivers of asset performance.

As I recall, it was the late tenor player, Eric Pollard who was with Bobby when he died. somewhere down near Peterlee, I think.
ReplyDelete - Mick Hill,trumpetThursday, April 26, 2012 7:24:00 pm
As I recall,this was in late 1979 or early 1980 and Bobby was working for the alto player Cecil Strain.Cecil lived in Washington and ran a 5/6 piece busking band which worked regularly at Easington club which is where they were probably making for that night.I had worked for Cecil for some time and had recently left the band.I don't know if he was travelling with Bobby or separately.I can't remember Eric in the band but I think the piano player was possibly called Donnelly
ReplyDelete This is probably a bit late as I only came across this website today.I must have been only about 21 or 22 when I first came across Bobby at the Rex Hotel Whitley Bay. This would be middle 60's. Sunday night was jazz night upstairs in a back room somewhere. First thing to say is that he was every bit as good as all the tributes say (and better) Bobby was a world class jazzman and consumate musician.
I was star struck !!!! and the rest of the band were top class too. I remember Sid Warren (tnr), Jackie Denton (drms),Derek Dixon (bs), Jimmie Willets or Alistair Atkinson or Jack Sheldon (pno). Sometimes Arthur Mowatt on alto or vibes and Dave Murphy on bass. Jackie was so loud that when he went to London you could still hear him. I think "popeye" Billy Young took the chair after that.
Every Sunday I would be there early watching them set up and chatting with them. One night the bass player didn't turn up and Bobby came to me and asked if would be able to play bass on the guitar. Well I didn't need asking twice and after that night I was able to play with them every Sunday. I remember most of them were not keen on having a young raw guitarist messing things up but Bobby was my champion and persuaded them. He said "let him play and if he doesn't know what to do he will just shut up". And so it was we became friends and I got to play in the best band of the day with his mentorship ( well him and Jimmie Willets).
My memory is a bit hazy but I think at the time he lived with his wife the former Liz Brown in a downstairs flat in Queen Alexander Road North Shields. I have a memory that they were always short of money and my wife and I would occasionally visit and be sure to bring lots of food with us. He was the most open and generous guy and always keen to help young musicians like myself. Of course he was also a bit of a "Jack the Lad" and all those stories are true for sure but when he picked up that trumpet he became almost godlike.
I too was regular at the Wheatsheaf in New York and I remember one Thursday Bobby came in quite late in the evening and sat at the back far away from the band. (I remember Hughie and Leo from those days). He opened the case and got out the trumpet, patiently waiting while all us amateurs did our bit. When he began to play it was almost magical. It was said of Django Rheinhardt that he was incapable of playing a bad note. Well........Bobby was another one like that. I am 70 yrs old now and he remains one the most important people to have been in my life. A true legend....RIP Bobby Carr Trumpet PlayerMike, for more on Bobby Carr and other north east legends go to the RH column and Pages then click on "Memories of Jazz in the North East".

About this blog - contact details.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
