Conditions of Access
All users need to acknowledge and agree to the following conditions before using NatureMap content:
Data within NatureMap is provided with the participation and good will of data custodians and I will endeavour, where possible, to seek a collaborative approach with custodians in any research or papers published using NatureMap data.
Re-sale of raw data or the commercial use of images or descriptive text (other than generated maps, species lists and reports) on this site is unauthorised unless written permission is obtained from the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC).
Appropriate and full acknowledgement of DEC and species data custodians (see Data Directory) must always be given in any publication that includes data sourced here.
Data provided through NatureMap represents positive records of flora and fauna occurrence. The absence of a record should not be taken to mean flora or fauna is necessarily absent from an area. (To minimise the effect of data gaps, a buffer area should be applied that is reflective of the likelihood of surveys or collections having been undertaken in the target area.)
My username and password will not be passed on to any other person or organisation.
DEC and data custodians reserve the right to revoke registration if the above conditions of access are not complied with.
I will notify DEC if any relevant conditions change that might affect my NatureMap authorisation level.
Also note:
Custodians have kindly granted permission to allow relatively large subsets of data to be downloaded for a wide range of uses, including within a commercial context. Note, however, it is not NatureMap policy to allow the downloading of entire datasets
It is current custodian policy to only grant Advanced Access (see the Registration page) for bona fide research or conservation planning purposes. This does not extend to use within a commercial context. While this may appear restrictive, in fact basic registration provides a great deal of information on both conservation and non-conservation taxa, and all users are encouraged to explore NatureMap's sophisticated querying and mapping capabilities. DEC's Species and Communities Branch continues to provide information on detailed localities of conservation taxa to consultants and other commercial users on a fee-for-service basis.
Fair Use Guidlines
As stated above, we want as many people as possible to make use of the data available within NatureMap, so long as that use is "fair". It is considered fair for anyone to use information from NatureMap for conservation or planning purposes, including incorporating that information into reports or papers, or summarising and value-adding to data.
It is not considered fair use to download raw data and on-sell it. That would contravene copyright. It is also bad business, because anyone could obtain the same data directly from NatureMap.
Of particular note:
Maps, species lists, reports and raw data may be freely used by anyone, including commercial consultants, for research, planning, generating reports and compilations, or for personal use, so long as the above conditions of access are complied with.
Raw data, i.e. bulk detail records of individual locations that have been downloaded from NatureMap and not summarised, compiled or modified in any substantial way, may not be on-sold or rebadged without written permission from the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC). This is consistent with Australian Copyright law.
Other descriptive text and images, such as Thematic content on wetlands or ecological attributes, remain the property of NatureMap and copyright holders and may not be used without written permission from DEC.

A father and his two children along with two other
people were taken to the hospital after a crash early Friday morning on
the Grand Parkway in Sugar Land.
The two-vehicle wreck happened about 1:20 a.m. on the Grand Parkway at U.S. 59, said Doug Adolph, a spokesman for the Sugar Land Police Department.
Adolph said a Ford pickup and a Toyota Prius collided after one of the drivers apparently ran a red light.
Adolph said a man and woman in the Toyota were flown by Life Medical helicopter to Memorial Hermann-The Texas Medical Center. They both had broken legs. Their conditions were not released.
Adolph said a man and his two children who were also in the Toyota were taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution.
The pickup driver was alone in the truck and was not hurt, Adolph said.
Police are investigating the crash.

See, Click, Fix: Brewer Road potholes 'horrible'
ONEIDA >> A See, Click, Fix interactive map user on OneidaDispatch.com recently tagged Brewer Road in Oneida as having too many potholes.
On Friday, Brewer Road, off of Mt. Hope Avenue, had large potholes even in the center of the road.
The map user wrote, "potholes on Oneida's half of Brewer road are awful! Enough to do damage to your car if you hit them. Please fix!"
"It's horrible," said Jon Rauscher, city engineer. And there is a remedy.
Rauscher says that at some point, possibly as early as July, a repaving project will begin on the road.
For more information on all paving projects, Rauscher said the city engineers website has city maps that can be accessed by clicking the link, "Paving Program." From there, one can see all roadways in the city limits that are on schedulePotholes for paving work in 2013.
The roads in question are marked in red.

One of the questions I ask all of my patients during their first trimester is if they currently exercise and what their plans are for prenatal exercise.
Exercise is vital to the health of a pregnant woman, not only for her physical health, but also for her mental well-being. The numerous benefits of exercise include helping to maintain your body weight during pregnancy and helping to prevent and control gestational diabetes. Exercise is also powerful in preventing depression.

It's been way too long since I posted anything...this Craigslist ad I wrote is the most I've done in months. Enjoy!
About a month ago my husband told me he was planning on going to an auction with a few of his buddies. I figure that's a pretty safe place for him to hang out for a Saturday, I mean how much money could he actually waste there, right? The day arrives, his friends show up and they all pile into his pickup truck and head out to the auction. Woo-hoo! A few hours to catch up on some housework (lol!) or read a book, whichever.
Several hours later finds me out in the yard watering my trees when the hubby pops out the back door and lures me in with his excited "Come see what I bought for you!" What could it be? Did he find me a beautiful, 1940s waterfall bedroom set for some amazingly low price? Maybe he bought me some cool fish tank stand so I can expand my aquatic hobby. The excitement is simply overwhelming, so I rush inside to see what he found.
Well, my hopes were dashed upon entering my kitchen to find my beaming husband standing behind a vacuum cleaner. An old, used and very chrome-y looking vacuum cleaner. Um, thanks? But I'm not a complete meany so I say "Oh, it's a vacuum cleaner. Okay, is it better than the one I already own?" And my overly proud of his purchase husband begins to extol me on the virtues of this amazing machine.
This, he informs me, is a KIRBY!!! vacuum cleaner. The very best of the best of vacuum cleaners. Why, all the women whose homes he has admired for many years use KIRBY!!! vacuum cleaners. Nothing less will do. And look at all the attachments, he says. There are some that we'll probably never even figure out what they're for, but certainly they are very important to have. AND, it has extra bags! So we don't even have to worry about buying new bags for a long time ("longer still because my wife rarely vacuums" was thankfully left out). He briefly mentions the shampoo attachment (for when the idiot cats throw-up, again!) and then, he pulls out an attachment and with a reverence usually reserved for vintage whiskey or especially beautiful revolvers, he intones "And this brush...this brush is so you can clean the blinds!"
I'm duly impressed with his sales spiel, but he's not done yet. Because, like any good vacuum cleaner salesman would do, he insists on showing me how it works. As an aside, I've been around vacuums for a very long time and am fairly well versed in how they work. Evidently hubby has forgotten this and I hate to ruin his moment in the sun so I go along with him. It should be noted that by this time, our twelve year old son has joined us to watch this new wonder do it's magic.
My husband carefully adds the attachment to the long hose and plugs the machine in. He wheels the whole thing over to the blinds on the back door, looks at me with a smile and says "Watch this!" Hitting the "on" switch, the KIRBY!!! comes to life with a "RAWR!" of power. You can feel the surge of adrenaline pulsing through it's chrome-y parts. The cats scatter to the far corners of the house and the dogs look on it with horror. It is an animal. It is power, and virility and beauty all wrapped up into one amazing machine. And then...our son says "what's that smell?"
Hubby continues to run the brush over the blinds only looking over his shoulder long enough to say "That's raw power son" before going back to obliterating the dust from the slats. I have to say that the speed with which that dust was sucked into the KIRBY!!! was a sight to behold. It never stood a chance. About four slats in, our son again says "what's that smell?" and I realize that I am starting to smell something as well. Something...burny...electrically...electrically burny...and then Hubby smells it too. He turns around and looks down at his amazing machine and says "OMG! It's on fire!" And I dumbly reply "What is?" My husband's eyes get huge and he shouts "The vacuum cleaner is on fire! OMG! It's on fire! Holy sh!!!t! Unplug it!"
I dutifully unplug the raging monster and my heroic husband picks the flaming beast up in one massive fist and carries it outside. Upon being released from the source of fuel, this cousin of the Kraken (land version) loses steam and puts itself out. The stench of it's fury permeates my house and now, my back patio as well. The neighbors may or may not now believe they live next door to a long time sailor. Our son stands transfixed on the patio, staring at his father in what I can only assume is awe at his heroic acts.
Once the emergency is over, our hero stands in defeat, looking at his beloved KIRBY!!!, still slightly smoking at his feet. Lifting his eyes to mine, he says sadly "I guess I'll have to throw it away...I'm sorry your gift sucked." It breaks my heart to see him so destroyed. He wanted to badly to bring me this wonderful machine that he knew would make me the happiest woman in the world. So I tell him that he shouldn't throw it away. It's too GOOD to throw away. I mean, it's a KIRBY!!! for goodness sakes! They don't get thrown away! I promise him I will salvage the parts and sell them to the good people of Craigslist. People who appreciate what a wonder a KIRBY!!! is, people who will want it's parts to replace the ones on their own KIRBYs!!! Not because they broke obviously (because KIRBYs!!! don't break), but because sometimes the parts on their own KIRBYs!!! can just no longer stand up to the raw power of the machine.
So, with all of that in mind, I'm offering the remains, no, the strongest parts, of my husband's loving gift to me. I'm asking $30 (obo) for everything you see in the foreground of the first picture. For you highly technical folks, that doesn't include the background items, desk, empty box, carpeting or any animals that may have slipped into the shot (well, the cats might be negotiable) Cash only and you must pick up.

Kaffe Magnum Opus really started as an aroma in 1955 or so, in an A and P store in East Rockaway, Long Island. Bob Johnson, the person who started Kaffe Magnum Opus was then only 10, but had the enviable task of grinding the coffee for his parents' home use. "I always remember the aroma", says Bob. "That aroma hit me again in the Galleria Mall in Philadelphia in 1989 and I decided there and then to change my life completely." After 23 years in finance, Bob followed the aroma into the coffee business and started Kaffe Magnum Opus in 1991, as a store - Coffee Time - in, Vineland, New Jersey. The cafe building became the Headquarters and roasting plant for Kaffe Magnum Opus in 1996 when Kaffe Magnum Opus emerged. Freshness is king in the coffee business and Kaffe Magnum Opus only roasts to order. Even in its new facility with larger roasting equipment, the focus is on roasting batches. This insures freshness in every delicious, aromatic cup.

We have the training and experience to properly diagnose and repair a wide range of automotive problems. We deliver top-quality auto repair to fix your vehicle in an efficient manner. When your car or truck needs a repair, whether it's engine problems, transmission issues or a breakdown of the suspension, you need reliable auto repair professionals who will get you back on the road fast. We service the greater Rialto California area.
Most cars, trucks and SUV's are equipped with extremely advanced electronic engine command systems that can recognize and even avoid issues that will hurt your vehicle. When one of those systems fails or misfires it causes the computer to turn on your check engine light. A check engine light could indicate anything from a loose gas cap to something much more extreme like a blown head gasket. Having troubles looked at when possible could protect against additional failures of engine components.
Our engine parts and services are offered at the most competitive price. Coupled with outstanding customer service and technical engine expertise. From stock replacement to high performance, from 10 cylinder gas to lite diesel, from main bearings to master overhaul kits, we offer a broad range of engine products and services. Nothing is left to chance. Our quality machining process would be wasted if we didn't also use the finest engine parts available. We service the greater Rialto California area.
When your transmission starts to malfunction or wear down, you should fix the problem quickly. Have the issue looked at by a professional right away. Many of these problems start out small and only grow larger over time. Whether you're needing a minor repair,or a fully rebuilt transmission, we are the professionals to contact for help. Our transmission shop has the most highly qualified transmission repair technicians in the industry.
If your car transmission slips between gear changes, you may have a transmission problem. An automobile transmission is designed to hold effortlessly in each gear at predetermined speeds. If you move the selector for your automatic transmission to "Drive" and the engine seems to be racing ahead faster than the transmission, that is a common symptom of a transmission problem. We service the greater Rialto California area.
If your brakes are making loud crunching sounds, sharp squeals or faint squeaks, you need your brakes serviced. Our advanced technicians have the expertise to repair brake lines, brake rotors, brake pads, calipers and more. We will accurately diagnose your overall brake condition and perform all repairs. Bad brakes display warning signs for impending brake maintenance. For example, if your brakes squeal or grind when in use, then your brake pads may be worn and require replacements. If your vehicle pulls to one side when braking, then this may point to worn brakes, a malfunctioning caliper, or low brake fluid in the brake lines. If your brake pedal presses down too easily—also known as "spongy" brakes—then this may be an indication of too much air in the hydraulic brake lines.
We have most tire sizes in stock, and can order virtually any brand or size tire you require. If you need it in a hurry, and it's available, we will go get it ourselves while you wait. We stock most new passenger and light truck tires from MICHELIN, BF Goodrich, Cooper, and other major brands. We also perform the tire services to help you get the longest possible life from your tire purchase. The tire services our technicians perform include computer spin balancing, low-profile tire installations, flat tire repairs, tire rotations, and TPMS service. We service the greater Rialto California area.
Our team of technicians strives to stay up to date on the latest automotive technology. Our California professionals have hands on experience working with a wide variety of vehicles. We use the most current diagnostic equipment available on the market, including original factory equipment. Combining cutting edge technology with certified automotive technicians, it is our mission to get your car back on the road fast.

Tips and Advice so You Can Depend on Your Car
A car is an expensive investment, so knowing how to keep your vehicle in tip-top shape can save you tons of money. Overall, the cost of owning a car is a lot higher than many might think – there is the cost of car insurance,taxes, interest on the car loan, repairs, fuel costs, and the cost of the vehicle itself. By implementing all or some of these car care tips, you can begin to save a significant amount of time and money. Just a little time spent on research can save you future repairs and tons of money. You don't need to be mechanically savvy to detect common vehicle problems. You just need to be able to use your sense of smell and sight.
Be sure that you make a note of your oil change schedule. If you want your car to run the way it should, its oil needs to be changed regularly. Not having regular oil changes can end up damaging your car and affecting the overall performance.
Take a Look Around
Are there stains under your vehicle? Do you see drips? They may not be a problem but if you see wet spots, it can be a symptom of something far more serious. What color is the liquid you are seeing? Is it blue, orange, yellowish green? Then it could indicate a radiator leak, damage from an overheated engine, or a water pump that needs repairs. Leaks such as these should be addressed quickly.
Don't forget about your windshield wipers. If your windshield wipers are no longer keeping the rain off your windshield, or if they make noise or leave streaks, it is time to replace them. Wiper blades need to be replaced once every year or possibly more often depending on the where you live.
Black oily fluid or dark brown could indicate an oil leak on the engine. A bad gasket or seal can cause this type of
leak. These types of repairs can quickly run into a lot of money so it's a good idea to take your vehicle to a mechanic you trust.
A red oily spot could indicate power steering fluid leak or transmission leak. Sometimes you will see clear liquid, which is usually just condensation and nothing to worry about. If you see light smoke coming from your wheel while you are driving it could mean you have a brake that's stuck and you should pull over. Any type of smoke means you need to see a mechanic regarding a vehicle repair.
Put Your Nose to Work
Don't be afraid to sniff around and see if you can detect a problem with your vehicle. If you smell burned toast it may be burning insulation or an electrical short. Don't risk driving it. If you have a rotten egg smell it's likely the catalytic converter and it will need to be repaired.
A thick sharp odor is often a symptom of burning oil. Have a look under the car to see if you can spot a leak. You may also see a bluish smoke coming from your vehicles tailpipe – you need to have this looked at as soon as possible.
If you smell gas after your vehicle fails to start the engine may have become flooded. Wait a few minutes and try again. If you continue to notice a gas odor you may have a leak somewhere in your fuel system, which can be dangerous, so have your vehicle taken to a mechanic as soon as possible. These simple tips will help to alert you of a potential problem with your vehicle that should be addressed.
Preventative maintenance is very important if you own a car. Do not hesitate to spend money on the tools you need to inspect and maintain your car or having a mechanic look at your car regularly. Maintaining your car regularly could help you save a lot on repairs or towing if your car breaks down.

Looking forward, medical students hone advocacy skills
Four medical students in white coats huddle quietly outside a senator's office at the Capitol in Austin. It's an impromptu cram session, but they aren't reviewing histology or lymphatics. One is thumbing through a staple-bound directory of legislators, looking for the senator's committee appointments; others are reviewing bullet points on a flyer. One checks her watch: Four minutes to 10.
"Should we go in now?" she asks.
"Wait," another says. "We're early."
The four medical students drove in from the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) College of Medicine's Temple campus to attend First Tuesday, a health advocacy event organized by the Texas Medical Association (TMA), the largest state medical association in the country. They, along with more than 150 medical students from across the state, are here to meet with state legislators to discuss funding for graduate medical education (GME), the residency training all medical school graduates must complete before practicing independently.
Health care administrators predict a massive physician shortage in the next decade as baby boomers retire. Medical schools have been rapidly increasing incoming class sizes to address it, but residency slots aren't keeping pace with the growth. And more than 5 percent of qualified medical school graduates nationwide failed to secure a residency at all.
At 10 on the nose, they open the door and file in.
Although these students will focus exclusively on the GME issue, residency shortages are just the first challenge they face. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates 75 percent of current U.S. health care dollars are spent managing preventable diseases, and the average per-patient expense is $8,000 per year, compared to an average of $3,000 per year in other developed countries. Add to that the planned injection of 30 million currently uninsured citizens into the insurance pool in less than a year, and many see a system in crisis.
Training Doctors to Lead
Medical education has long focused on training future doctors to think critically, examine symptomatic evidence and plan a response. For educators like Dr. Ruth Bush, a vascular surgeon and the associate dean for academic affairs at the TAMHSC-College of Medicine's Round Rock campus, it's time to apply that critical thinking model to our nation's health care system.
"Our goal is not to prescribe a specific remedy and ask our students to adopt it," Dr. Bush said. "It's to show students the issues and educate them in how they can become involved in developing the solutions. We call this the CARE model. In all aspects of their medical education, we show students how to 'critically appraise relevant evidence.' They need the same training in how to address the issues facing American health care."
To that end, the college is preparing to roll out several new initiatives at the medical school's third- and fourth-year campus in Round Rock. It is home to the college's first residency program in preventive medicine and has presented an ongoing public lecture series on transforming American health care. Dr. Jim Donovan, the campus' new associate dean for clinical integration and practice transformation, will help the campus assess how to prepare medical students for the changing landscape of American health care, including a variety of new course options.
First up is an elective course on health advocacy, a growing trend among U.S. medical schools. The TAMHSC College of Medicine's course partners fourth-year medical students with organizations that develop and propose solutions for public health problems; so far, students piloting the program have focused on working with specialty and advocacy groups in the areas of mental health and pediatrics. For those taking the elective during the state legislature's biennial sessions, First Tuesday will play a central role.
"By including health advocacy in the curriculum, we encourage students to think on a larger scale," Dr. Bush said. "It helps them to think about the future of their profession and how they can contribute to it."
This year, the TAMHSC-College of Medicine was recognized for sending the largest contingent of students to First Tuesday of any Texas medical school. For Cecilia Benz, a second-year student and campus TMA president, the strong presence of fourth-year students, or "M4's," was significant. "Our M4's are done, they've matched, and they still decided to invest their time and effort into helping us out, helping to get GME funding passed," Benz said. "We're really grateful that they showed up."
Dr. Bush also hopes to extend health advocacy training to all medical students. "The basics include finding information regarding pending legislation, identifying who your elected representatives are and how to interact with them, developing an elevator speech [a brief synopsis of a position that can be delivered in a minute or two] and a fact sheet on an issue, and other advocacy communication skills," she said.
Making an Impact
If you're looking for a model for the medical student/health advocate of the future, TAMHSC-College of Medicine student Collin Juergens is a good place to start. He's one of a handful of students from the college who teamed up with students from Baylor College of Medicine earlier in the year to develop a proposal to have drivers' licenses marked to indicate whether a person has established an advanced directive in the event of an emergency. If student delegates approve the measure at the May meeting of the TMA, it will be passed to the full membership; if approved there, it could be presented for potential legislative action.
"The eventual outcome might be that we have a little advanced directive symbol on our driver's licenses to help encourage the public to think about that and for medical providers to be aware of the patient's wishes. And that will have come from Texas A&M and Baylor students," Juergens said.
For some initiatives, the chain reaction need not stop there: An endorsement by the American Medical Association (AMA), which can gain needed momentum through a TMA endorsement, could lead to federal legislation, giving an idea launched by medical students the possibility of becoming the law of the land.
Third-year student and class president Gabriel Axelrud, who attends the TAMHSC-College of Medicine at Round Rock, took the campus' passion for health advocacy straight to the AMA. Axelrud has co-authored a resolution with five other medical students, including AMA Medical Student Section Chair-Elect Atul Nakhasi of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, to ask the AMA to endorse and develop guidelines for health advocacy as part of the U.S. medical curriculum. The student section adopted it, referring it to the full AMA for consideration. If the AMA leadership agrees to take action, the trend toward preparing medical students for health advocacy will spread even more rapidly.
But that would be getting ahead of ourselves. The real purpose of First Tuesday is to cultivate a sense of community and agency among students. TAMHSC-College of Medicine first-year student Dane Pawlowski said the spirit of collaboration had indeed made an impression.
"You have all these students from these different places," he said afterward. "But you don't think of it when you're there. They're all future doctors, and they're all there to help each other out."

Why Key & National won't support the Living Wage
I fear all the amazing work the SFWU have put into a Living Wage will fall on deaf ears in this Government.
The new Minister of Labour, Simon Bridges, claims that the Government want to raise the standard of living via the minimum wage. If that is true, sadly many NZers will die in poverty before they see any horizon out of poverty. Between 1997 and 1999, National didn't lift the minimum wage from the pathetic $4.20 per hour. From 2000 to 2008, Labour moved it from $4.55 to $12.00 and since then Key has taken it to $12.50 up to $13.50 in 4 years. Just another example of how NZ is better off under Labour than National.
We shouldn't be surprised that our vacant aspiration multi-millionaire leader who lives in a bubble world of wealth has zero empathy with the poor. For all of John's "I grew up in a state house' shtick, the welfare Key enjoyed was gold plated, where as today it's shit encrusted.
Let us not forget as conveniently as the mainstream media has what John has said about the poor while he's been the Prime Minister. He described a Universal child payment last year as 'dopey'
John said that the poor required food parcels, not because of the economic policy he implemented, but because it was their own fault...
Food parcel families made poor choices, says Key
Prime Minister John Key says beneficiaries who resort to food banks do so out of their own "poor choices" rather than because they cannot afford food.
...then there was what John Key told Church leaders in December of 2010...
"If we cancelled welfare to 330,000 people currently on welfare, how many would starve to death? Bugger all."
...Key hates poor people. He blames them for the poverty they live in and he doesn't think any would die if he cut off their benefit. His $50-$200million wealth insulates him from poverty and a genuine understanding of the pain those on the bottom of the social heap have to endure.
The true tragedy for NZ's poor is that Key's vacant aspiration and empty optimism routine cons so many of them into voting for National when National's policy is counter productive to their interests. The two bob tory phenomena is made more bitter when you consider how our inequality has soared to it's highest level under Key.
John Key is the aspirational piece of cheese forever out of reach of the rat, promising salvation if they just work harder. The reality is that many NZers work their fingers to the bone and have nothing but National's hollow promises to put on the table at the end of the week.
We need a social floor in NZ and it is the Government's responsibility to build that social floor. MANA's 'Feed the Kids' Bill will be debated mid year, that is an attempt to at least stop the hemorrhaging. The SFWUs Living Wage is a means to start reversing the scourge of poverty, but it's attempts will make no headway with this Government.
The 1% have no interest in the lowest members of the 99%

|Quite possibly the best car line up I've ever seen in a video game. You have the chibi-esque Japanese superminis like the Honda Z and Mitsubishi Pajero Mini, all the way to fearsome exotics, like the Saleen SR and Venturi 400. Any other games' carlists have nothing on GT2.
2012-01-19 01:21
|Games like Forza 4 or Enthusia also have a list full of variety, but yes, i think GT2 is still the game with the best car selection ever made.
I mean...when it's the last time an Alfa 145, a Peugeot 406, a Citroën Xantia, a Renault Espace F1, a Dodge Avenger and an Intrepid, a Fiat Cinquecento and a Seicento, a BMW 750 and a 8 series (and a lot more cars...) were seen all together in a game? Not counting games like The Getaway, of couse, which is a whole different concept.

Antti-san (38)
2013-12-28 17:16
|Sorry, but what does "on the official list" mean? Personally, I think we should list the Saleens in TDU and the RMs in GT2 and GT5. I think they are all sufficiently different from their "host" cars to warrant it. It's not like they are just randomly tuned and painted by the player, but complete packages.

|*Bump* I will not let this discussion die. We need to be clear on this. We either go the whole distance and list the RMs in this game, or we don't, and delete the GT5 and TDU RMs. We can't leave it in the current situation as it isn't right.
eggsbawcks (1)
2014-01-01 17:35
|I agree. Practically every RM is based on some form of real racing car, sans some of the sponsorship decals on a few, so they deserve it. I don't see how GT5's can be classed as their own cars for having 'RM' next to them, yet GT2 can't, even though they have 'R' next to them; it's effectively the same thing. Forza had pre-order DLC cars which have nothing more than a new livery classed as their own too.
Granted, doing all the race mods will take a while (what with all the used cars and the daily car cycles), but that would make a more complete list. Especially since some race mods are complete overhauls, like the Intrepid dragster.
ItsaUserName (69)
2014-01-01 17:52
|Exactly. And thanks to me having EPSXE and the wonderful tools known as Save States and Frame Limiting Off, getting a replay screenshot for each RM will take just shy of 5 minutes. All we need is the final verdict from Rinspeed.
Ford78 (13)
2014-01-01 17:55
I agree. The RM are based on real racing cars. For example, you have an Citroen Saxo VTS. If you put RM on it, then it will be converted for Citroen Saxo Kit Car.
Rinspeed (1229)
2014-01-01 17:56
i had already answered for my part. And you know that the official list don't list the include traffic but this isn't playable cars of a racing game. Since the beginning, we always said that we don't want tuned cars, but the original car. So for GT2, no (just paint job for me). And for the others i can erase them if it's the case.

|K I have questions:
I can now fully re-do the bad menu pictures for this game (Cheats are a IGCD member's best friend), But I do want to bring up race modified cars...
I am fully aware of the discussion above about race modded cars, But,
If this is why we don't have RM cars, then I think you may want to reconsider :
Plus, Race Modded cars are technically different cars. Although in the menu the picture with the name doesn't change, The car DOES receive a [R] in it's name that is only on RM cars. The reason why the menu doesn't change is because if they did it for all RM cars then they'd have to make seperate pictures (they are pictures yes) for every RM car when nobody really cares. Plus, RM cars get their own events in One Make Races. If you ask me, RM cars are different cars then their standard variants rather than just tunings.
Sorry to beat a dead horse, But since I'm going to be re-doing a lot of these pages (Don't worry Rinspeed I'll still use your front shots) I figured I'd ask. If you're going to say no then plz don't get to mad at meh.

Doesn't make sense for the rejections back in 2012-2013. It'd probably be better if the game actually ran on Bleem (more on that later). As for the "special cars" you mentioned, co-op in SR2 still works. Burnout Revenge, on the other hand, is probably not likely as EA has a tendency to cut servers often, so good luck with that.
There's also an article on GTPlanet about the RM's. And there's also a thread about them too. Link: www.gtplanet.net/the-weird-wonderful-race-cars-of-gran-turismo-2/
Fixed that for you.

Prepare your trip: vaccinations for Mecca
Shoes Small Heel British Girls Heel FALAIDUO Fashion Red Women High Retro Leather Shoes Autumn Thick Are you going on a pilgrimage to Mecca? Then it is, among other things, important to ensure you get the proper vaccinations. Below you can read which vaccinations you require for your journey to Mecca.
Mandatory vaccination against Meningitis
Meningococcal bacteria can cause meningitis and blood poisoning. During the Hajj, there is an increased risk of infection with meningitis, because a very large number of people gather closely together. Therefore, the reign of Saudi Arabia requires that everyone who visits Mecca (Hajj and Umrah) has been vaccinated against meningitis. You must be able to show a valid vaccination certificate.
Recommended vaccinations for Saudi Arabia
Besides the mandatory meningitis vaccination, additional precautions and vaccinations are recommended for your journey to Saudi Arabia. Please refer to our full Ivory Winter Blue Summer Spring EU39 CN39 US8 Heel Satin UK6 Purple Flat Wedding Evening Pink Black Women'S Fall White Silver Party amp;Amp; BgZfn7qB travel advice for more information about the required vaccinations.
General measures for prilgrimage to Mecca
Seemingly innocent things such as food, water and bright sunlight can pose a risk to your health during your travels. It is important to take proper precautions. Read our page What to look out for and prepare your journey.
If you need to take regular medication, please make sure that you take sufficient stock on your journey. Take ample supply with you in your hand luggage only. You can ask your pharmacist or GP for a list of your medications. If you suffer from heart failure or diabetes, it is wise to ask your physician for additional (travel) advice. Make an appointment.

|TidBITS#238 19940808
by Mark H. Anbinder, News Editor <firstname.lastname@example.com>
At a trade show with thousands of products, it's impossible to see everything, or even all the important things. If you missed some of these products, or if you missed Macworld Boston entirely, please contact the companies mentioned below and tell them you read about their products in TidBITS. Some of these products may receive more in-depth coverage later on, but we wanted to get some of the juicy details to you right away.
Sensible Color Output -- If you want to spend many thousands of dollars, buy one of the fancy Tektronix or SuperMac dye sublimation printers that takes forever to spit out a photo-realistic page. If all you need photo realism, however, consider Nikon's new CoolPrint. It's a $1,995 small-format dye sublimation printer that's perfect for printing photos and color proofs.
Nikon -- 516/547-4200 -- 516/547-0305 (fax)
Lamest Booth Staff -- When you can wander around a booth looking interested in the products, then talk out loud about competing products while two salespeople chatter away to each other, something's wrong. Asante Technologies needs train its sales staff before the next trade show to learn how to strike up conversations with potential customers.
Asante -- 800/662-9686 -- 408/752-8388
Growth Property -- A brand-new, small company called VST received our "Best Battery" award at last August's Macworld Expo, so we're pleased to see they have grown enormously since then. Their large booth showcased a wide variety of laptop batteries, chargers, and related products. Good for them. /P>
VST -- 508/287-4600 -- 508/287-4068 (fax)
Cable Marathon -- Do you wish SCSI cable chains weren't so limited in length? Add ATTO Technology's Silicon Express 4D NuBus card to your Mac and you can string your devices up to 81 feet away from the computer. Sounds great for secure installations or rooms where you'd rather not have loud devices. [We have a friend who pursues quiet by keeping his Macintosh IIfx on one side of a wall and his monitors, mouse, floppy drive, and keyboard on the other. -Tonya]ATTO --716/ 688-4259
Mixed Feelings -- CE Software's new QuickMail 3.0 looks good, and we want to be impressed, but evidence suggests the MailManager feature (see TidBITS-237) won't be as useful for real-life use. For MailManager to process incoming messages, your computer must stay on, and your connection to QuickMail must stay active. Such features would be best implemented at the server.CE -- 800/523-7638 -- 515/224-1995
Best Connectivity -- One reason ISDN hasn't caught on as strongly as it could have is the variety of non-compatible hardware on the market. 4-Sight L.C. (previously CommFORCE) offers ISDN management software that bridges the gap not only among different ISDN services and cards, but between ISDN and such otherwise-incompatible services as Switched 56.4-Sight -- email@example.com -- 515/221-2100 --800/448-3299 (fax) -- +44 (0) 202 764401 (UK) -- +44 (0) 202 761666 (UK fax)
Biggest Shame -- Dayna Communications was among the vendors showing wireless network solutions, including a PCMCIA LocalTalk card. Pity the card won't work on a Newton MessagePad! According to Dayna, the MessagePad can't supply enough power to PCMCIA devices, even when the devices don't try to draw more than the PCMCIA design allows for. Meanwhile, a wireless PCMCIA LocalTalk card could come in handy for 500-series PowerBook users.Dayna -- 800/531-0600 --801/531-0600
Best Paging Software -- As has been customary the last few years, many vendors demonstrated software designed to send text messages to electronic pagers. Congrats to Desktop Paging Software for its NeuroPage product, which automates a schedule of messages for dozens of individual recipients. Originally designed to remind patients to take their medicines, the software could also work wonders for disorganized executives.Desktop Paging Software -- 716/634-9010 -- 716/634-9003 (fax) -- email@example.com
Bundle of Joy -- Ex Machina is understandably pleased; their paging MSAM (a personal gateway extension for Apple's PowerTalk messaging software) has been licensed by Apple to be included in all CD-ROM copies of System 7.5 retail packages. Anyone with System 7.5 will be able to send pages to electronic paging service subscribers with no further software. (A modem is required.) Diskette packages of 7.5 won't include this, or the variety of other tools included on the CD.Ex Machina -- 718/965-0309
PostScript Big & Fast -- Xante Corporation made a name for itself by offering accelerated, high-resolution PostScript-compatible printer controllers to replace the aging logic boards in Apple's and Hewlett-Packard's older printer models. More recently, the company started selling its own complete printers. This year, they took advantage of the lower price of real Adobe PostScript Level 2 and built it into their latest printer, the Accel-a-Writer 8200. It's an 11 x 17 inch 1,200 dot per inch printer that can even print 11 x 25 at lower resolutions.Xante -- 205/476-8189 -- 205/476-9421 (fax)
Cutest Feature Name -- Fractal Design Painter 3.0 is impressive for so very many reasons, but it gets this award for its "image hose" feature. Just create a variety of images of a type of object (for example, nineteen discreet images of clover) then use the image hose to paint with that object; it randomly scatters the different versions. Instant clover field! No more laborious cutting and pasting to get the desired montage effect.Fractal Design -- 408/688-8800
Happy Anniversary! -- Hewlett-Packard had its usual array of printers on display at Macworld, but what's most noteworthy is that they're celebrating ten years in the printer market, going back to the original LaserJet (and five years to the first DeskWriter, a major breakthrough in the low-end Macintosh printing arena). Other players in the field have been selling printers longer (Apple and Epson are two easy examples) but HP has come a long way, offering great laser, inkjet, and color solutions at both low- and high-end prices.HP -- 800/752-0900 -- 301/670-4300
If You Can't Beat 'Em -- Bravo to Iomega Corp. for snapping up Nomai's SyQuest-compatible 44 and 88 MB cartridges and getting past the legal red tape to bring them to market. The company claims they're much more reliable than SyQuest's own product, but either way the product alternative will be good for the market and good for the end user's wallet.Iomega -- 800/947-0928 -- 801/778-3000 -- 801/778-3748 (fax)
Best Drive for Video -- Doing a lot of video processing? Want to show high-resolution video presentations at their best? Don't get a general-purpose hard drive. The latest 2 and 4 GB AV-model drives from Micropolis seem to far outstrip the competition when it comes to sustained data transfer rate, which is critical for continuous video display.Micropolis -- 818/709-3300
Why Didn't I Think of That? -- If you live in the area from Boston north to Concord, NH, and from Route 495 to the Atlantic, you needn't ever worry about your laser printers again if you subscribe to the Page After Page service. Subscribers simply call the service when their low-toner lights become worrisome. Within an hour or so, a technician will arrive, remove your old cartridge, thoroughly clean the printer, and insert a new cartridge, all for a bit less than you're paying for your toner cartridges now. Saves time and eliminates the need to keep cartridges on hand. How do they do it? The New Hampshire-based company imports toner "by the ton, literally" and makes its own cartridges. Since each remanufactured cartridge has a brand-new drum, we're not as concerned as we are with most rebuilt and refilled cartridges.Page After Page -- 800/441-0539 -- 603/595-2522 -- 603/598-4277 (fax)
Can I Play? -- Parsoft and ThrustMaster get the award for most compelling game setup, complete with a fighter plane's ejector seat set in front of three large-screen monitors in a row. The wide-angle flight simulator display (created simply by dragging the window to cover all three monitors) was stupendous. Add to that ThrustMaster's foot-pedal rudder game controller, its joystick controller, and weapons pod, and you've got a serious looking game machine.ThrustMaster -- 503/639-3200 -- 503/620-8094 (fax)
Get It There Now -- When you copying files, you want them copied now. That's the idea behind such copy accelerators as CopyDoubler. RAD Unlimited Networking (RUN) Inc. takes super-fast copying a step further by accelerating file copies over a network (and opening/saving of three specific file formats over a network). The company's upcoming RunShare product watches your network and lobs extra packets into spaces in the data stream, which is rarely close to full. (Apple's protocols are too polite when it comes to point-to-point traffic.)RUN -- 408/353-8423 -- 408/353-8984 (fax)
Nifty Storage Product -- SyQuest makes up for its sour-grapes attitude towards Iomega with an upcoming PCMCIA storage product. The device, a type III PCMCIA card (which will work in stacked type II slots), is a complete removable-cartridge drive. It uses SyQuest's 1.8 inch 80 MB cartridges, which look just like the company's 5.25 inch cartridges - except much, much smaller. The PCMCIA card won't work on a MessagePad (which has just one type II slot), but we see tremendous potential for 500-series PowerBooks and DOS-compatible laptops. Imagine mailing a few hundred megabytes in a business-sized envelope.SyQuest -- 510/226-4000 -- 510/226-4102 (fax)
Best Text Tool -- Word processors keep getting bigger and bigger, but some people just need to write and edit ordinary text. For those folks, BBEdit from Bare Bones Software, is right up on top. In the words of one user, the new version 3.0 "still doesn't suck." Among the ways it doesn't suck are good support for such System 7.5 features as AppleScript and PowerTalk, PowerPC native code in many time-consuming components, and quite a bit of extensibility, which make it great for programmers or managers of World-Wide Web sites.Bare Bones -- 508/651-3561 -- 508/651-7584 (fax) --firstname.lastname@example.com
Most Exciting Revival -- Only long-time Mac fanatics are likely to remember Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle. Delta Tao Software, Inc., the company that brought us Color MacCheese and Spaceward Ho! among other nifty programs, has just acquired these games from Aldus and is working on color versions that'll run on Macs of the '90s. Delta Tao showed Dark Castle '95 at the Expo, and it looked great!Delta Tao -- 800/827-9316 -- 408/730-9336 -- email@example.com

Uh Oh
You're not going to see many clubs like the Chicago squad that won the Cup. Here are their top twelve forwards: Toews, Hossa, Kopecky, Sharp, Kane, Byfuglien, Bolland, Ladd, Versteeg, Madden, Brouwer, Eager
Troy Brouwer scored 23 goals that year, iirc, and he was on the fourth line in the playoffs.
Of course a combination of the cap and Tallon not knowing how to use a fax machine ended up with that team getting blown up about five minutes after they won it all.
This year's Hawks' team has ripped out to a fast start, in large part to the fact that a new cohort of cheap kids has arrived. So at least for now Bolland plays with Kane and Sharp and they have Shaw and Kruger holding down the 3rd and 4th C positions.
I haven't watched a lot of Chicago this season but my impression is that while they're not full value for their record (no regulation losses in 9 requires some luck) they're a really good club.
But even then they're thin. They have about five players they literally cannot afford to lose if they are going to compete for the Cup imo - Toews, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook, Crawford. You might throw Kane in there too.
So in other words even the best team in the league has depth issues.
Which leads us to the Oilers.
There are more important players on the Oilers than Shawn Horcoff and Eric Belanger for sure. If Dubnyk or one of the top four D (the bottom pairing guys have shown they are barely capable of playing in the bottom pair) went down then the club would be in deep and while they could likely survive one top six forward going down, more than that would probably do them in too.
But losing both Horcoff and Belanger at once is bad bad news.
Belanger was awful last year, mostly due to a bad back, I believe, which apparently bothered him right out of camp. This year though he has been terrific, everything they expected. Big body centre, PK, draws, defensive work. No offence to speak of but he was doing very well until he broke some toes last weekend.
Gregor said last night on the Tweeter that he will be back on Sunday at the earliest and that a bigger issue than the toes was a 'large open wound' which makes sense, broken toes are nothing, to a professional hockey player anyhow, I would think they would just freeze those suckers. But if this 'wound' doesn't heal quickly then we may be looking at something longterm.
And longterm is what Horcoff is out for it seems. The captain is despised, because a lot of fans are idiots and don't like his contract (who cares) and think hockey is a video game. 10 is not the player that he once was (you know, the guys who outplayed Joe Thornton in the playoffs the year Thornton won the MVP) but he does those little things and a lot of those big things, that you need to win.
Read Elliotte Friedman's reaction to Horcoff going down - 'a tough loss' for Edmonton and incredulity at those who don't recognize what he brings to the table.
So where does that leave the Oilers? Down two of their best four PK men, their best two faceoff men, their best two defensive centres. At least until Sunday, maybe longer.
Anton Lander is likely back up to stay for a while, centring Paajarvi and Hartikainen. Jean Vande Velde will get the call for Wednesday and Saturday and I presume he will centre Smyth and Petrell. VV can take draws and PK but really he is a beggar's Eric Belanger, if that. Unless he is sheltered or his wings dial it way up he's going to get eaten alive.
So then what are we looking at?
1/ Both Horcoff and Belanger are out longterm or Belanger comes back and is horrible.
2/ Horcoff is out longterm but Belanger returns and is effective
3/ By some miracle both are back next week.
I don't believe in miracles.
So if we're looking at option two and Belanger can play then I think we see Lander stay until/unless he starts getting killed, which is very possible, even with a couple of decent wingers, which he rarely had last year.
If we're looking at the first scenario then I think Tambellini makes a move and soon. I believe his job is on the line if they don't make the playoffs. I may be wrong but I think it is. So as I've said its really win win for us fans.
The problem is its early and nobody is dumping guys so options are limited. Possibilities being thrown around:
Langkow - he's retired. You might call him but how fit would he be even if he said yes.
Arnott - failed a physical with the Rangers. Probably done.
Dominic Moore - Gregor said that Strudwick said that Moore was one of the worst teammates he ever had fwiw (might explain why he's moved around so much, I always wondered why) but he would be a fit. Having just lost his wife to cancer though I wonder if he will even play this year.
Tim Connolly - playing for the Marlies, I don't know if he has to clear waivers or if the Oilers even want him but buddy is a good player. Good on the PK. Underrated even if he is exile.
Steckel - not playing in Toronto at all. He's a fourth line guy but there are worse options. Don't know much about him but is faceoff wiz and PK guy I believe. Big body.
I'm sure there are others but pickings are slim. Probably sacrificing a goat is in order.

Marty. Reasoner.
(I'm mostly joking, but not completely.)

I think Matheson mentioned him too, along with about a dozen other NHL players.
AHL guys aren't going to cut it.
Well it was inevitable that we'd get some key injuries, but all teams have 'em at some point, let's just hope it doesn't snowball like it has in years past.
Couldn't agree more on the idiot fans who hate Horcoff. He does all the heavy lifting and gets paid by a billionaire, so what do you care how much it is?! It's not like we're in cap-hell because of it. There's many worse contracts out there for much shittier players.
I'd love to see them go out and grab someone like Langkow or Conolly, but don't see it happening. Belanger is back in a week and Horc is out 3, so I bet Tambo stays pat.
Personally I'd like to see them shake the lines up a bit anyway, so maybe this is a chance. They need to get some more production out of the bottom-6. The top line carries the play, but the other 3 hang on and chip in (well 2nd line does). That can't sustain itself for the season.
- Black Dog said...
eastcoasteh -well RNH is back Saturday and Belanger on Sunday apparently so they'll stand pat unless either cannot bounce back.
Langkow would be great but he's retired I think.
Hall. Centre. That is all.
- Black Dog said...
Yeah Jordan I wouldn't mind seeing that. I think if RNH goes for surgery we will see it.

3. Seat with the armrest: These seats have an extra surface in favor of the seat, up raised to give a stay to your arms to rest. These may be upholstered or not-upholstered.
2. Non-upholdstered seats: These sorts of seats give an incredibly flawless look and enthusiasm for near little upkeep. An All-wood seat can give an amazingly charming contact to your parlor zone, close by looking imperishably superb. Notwithstanding the way that they are pleasant also, not more than the upholstered seats.

Having the data about the sorts available, you should now settle on to which one would suit your style. Proceeding to the style fragment, you should pick one among the goings with pre-described styles:
Ensuing to obtaining the most fitting eating table, you are essentially generally done to complete an outstanding feature of your parlor territory furniture. No, clearly, the eating table is basically an extra significant end table, until it is coordinated with some better complimenting eating seats. You may similarly continue to pick a readymade eating table set, which fuses the devouring table and eating seats well enhancing each other. Nevertheless, this may happen on that, and just a look of a devouring table that seems to meet your necessities, get your attention and you make it notice your premonitions. By then, to complete the look, you need to find the eating seats that add to the look and supplement your devouring table so well that no guest leaves your place without recognizing about it.
1. Conventional: The standard eating seats are radiant determining and faultlessly united legs and can without much of a stretch give a magnificent look to your parlor territory. These might conceivably be upholstered.
2. Contemporary: These styles of eating seats could have any innovative shape and structure, and give an average seating space. They can be of wood, plastic or metal anyway they presumably won't be as pleasing as much as substitute ones. Prior to picking the contemporary style, do consider the stature and style;e of the eating table regardless.
Those were some expansive bifurcation about the style and sorts of the eating seats that can empower you to settle on a predominant choice.
4. Windsor: This eating seat gives a country feel with the unprecedented looking shaft legs and a noteworthy round back. These look the best when metal is the material.
1. Upholstered Chairs: These seats will as a rule gives a solid and content with seating. The upholstery in the seats will when all is said in done catch the earth and stains, thusly making it to some degree difficult to clean and take care of them. Something different, the comfort and the class that upholstered seat renders remains unmatched. You can in like manner not coordinate them with a fundamental small devouring table. Or maybe, a generous standard looking table with the cabriolet feet can look unprecedented!
Obtaining devouring seats must be done carefully, in light of the way that we much of the time will all in all pick the principle course of action of the seat that we see to look great to our eating table, giving helper thought to the imperative nuances like quality, gauge, style, etc. Notwithstanding whether you have a particularly direct looking devouring table, and legitimately styled eating seats can bolster the look. Directly off the bat, finding out about the principal sorts of seats available in the market is essential. Along these lines, check the going with:
4. Seat without the armrest: These are generally called side seats, and they don't support your arm. This is the right choice for the all-inclusive community who like no check while sitting or the ones who feel that its restrictive and difficult to fit effectively on the seats with the armrest.

But New Zealand will have to wait at least another day to clinch the Cup after Wednesday's second race was postponed seconds before the starting gun due to high winds, the second straight day that a strong sea breeze and outgoing tide combined to make conditions on San Francisco Bay unsafe for the fragile 72-foot catamarans.
In the race that did take place, New Zealand turned in a textbook performance that left defender Oracle with nowhere to turn. Oracle, once the favourite to retain the title that it won three years ago, still needs eight victories to hold on to the trophy.
New Zealand won the start and never trailed, crossing the finish line 15 seconds ahead of the Cup defender, although Oracle closed the gap briefly on the crucial upwind leg before losing ground again with a poor tacking manoeuvre.
"Every win is so hard. You're thankful for every win you get," said New Zealand skipper Dean Barker. "You have two boats that are pretty even in performance."
New Zealand dominated matches between the two teams in the first week of the America's Cup finals on San Francisco Bay, then lost momentum over the weekend when a vastly improved Oracle won its second and third matches, raising hopes of a last-minute comeback.
Oracle, which lost six of the first seven races in the series, became far more competitive after making changes to its twin-hulled AC72 and has greatly improved its upwind tacking. But Oracle's new-found speed appears most pronounced in heavier winds, and the breezes were comparatively light in Wednesday's race, averaging 15 knots (17 mph).
On Tuesday, both races were cancelled. Organizers set the limits on wind speeds after Swedish team Artemis Racing suffered a fatal training accident in May.
A proposal by Oracle this week to increase the wind limits for racing was rejected by New Zealand.
Sunday's matches were among the most thrilling in yacht-racing history. The two supercharged AC72s duelled neck and neck in the second race, changing leads four times, an America's Cup record, before New Zealand eked out a victory. On Saturday, New Zealand narrowly avoided catastrophe with a near-capsize that cost it the race.
But Wednesday's first race reverted to form, with New Zealand's steady performance proving more than enough for victory.
Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill said he was not yet prepared to let the coveted trophy go. "It's a long way from over," he said.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The New York Jets are coming off a bye week, which means there's been plenty of time to digest their 30-9 drubbing courtesy of the Miami Dolphins in Week 8 and to assess the first half of their season.
There was plenty to absorb. Mark Sanchez's inaccuracy. Tim Tebow's inactivity. The run defense's ineptness. The running game's ineffectiveness. The team's general inconsistency.
Talk about self-scouting. More like self-help.
So, in his first media availability in a week, Rex Ryan on Monday painted a realistic, tough-love picture: "We're not even close. We're not sniffing the playoffs. We're not sniffing anything right now."
Sounds about right. After all, the Jets have lost four of their past five games, and eight of 11, dating back to 2011. If the laughter has stopped at Florham Park, it's for good reason.
"We know we're in a bottom-line business, and that's wins and losses," Ryan said. "For football, that's really all that matters."
The Jets are 3-5. Which isn't where they want to be, but they're not buried yet. So, the internal message seemed to be something like this: The path won't be easy, but the Jets can prepare diligently, play their tails off and possibly earn their way to the postseason.
Feel free to move along. No headlines here.
But these are the Jets. And on Thursday morning, all of that changed. With eight words.
"The Jets will make the playoffs this year," cornerback Antonio Cromartie told "NFL AM" on NFL Network. "We believe in each other, we believe in ... coach Ryan and his staff ... so, we definitely are going to make the playoffs this year."
There you have it. Less than 72 hours after not "sniffing the playoffs," the Jets regained their sense of smell. And their voice. Their head coach included.
"I know Antonio Cromartie had some comments about us making the playoffs and all that," Ryan said Thursday afternoon. "I feel as an entire football team that we should all feel like that. I think we do feel like that. Nobody wants to hear it, but who cares?"
Rex even borrowed the New York Giants' Super Bowl-winning mantra. "We're all in," he said.
Here they go again.
And, you know what, we kind of, sort of, like it. Because the Jets are who they are: brash, confident, somewhat delusional about their chances. It's as if that utterly embarrassing performance against the Dolphins two Sundays ago was put on by a bunch of understudies.
Measured, let alone muted, doesn't fit these Jets. The convenience of a bye falling at exactly the season's halfway point provides them the opportunity to write a different, and better, second-half script. The legitimate question: Are the Jets good enough to do it?
Their starting quarterback, Sanchez, remains last in the NFL in completion percentage. "Stay positive," Sanchez said of his message to teammates.
Their backup quarterback, Tebow, is one of the year's enigmas. Did the Jets really acquire him for ... this? But Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said his team has spent "a considerable amount" of time preparing for Tebow's Wildcat this week. By Ryan's measure, that's already a win, whether Tebow actually plays a meaningful offensive snap or not.
"For us, it's all about coming together," Tebow said. "I really feel that we're on the verge of doing that."
So does Rex, who oversaw "a phenomenal practice" Wednesday. Perhaps they worked on stopping the run, once a Ryan staple. His three previous Jets seasons all featured a top-five defense; this one is 16th overall. And 29th against the run. And 30th on third downs.
But there is a belief, and some evidence, that the Jets are getting better. Their circumstances certainly are: The Jets have the league's sixth-easiest schedule for the remainder of the season, according to win-loss records; to date, they've played the third-toughest.
But there's nothing easy about playing the Seahawks in Seattle -- they've yet to lose at home this season -- and Ryan knows it. "Maybe," he said, "that's what we need."
Sure, maybe. The Jets actually need the deck to be stacked even more decidedly against them.
The Jets say they're back. They're all in. They've got the mid-week proclamations down. Yes, there are skeptics, Ryan acknowledges, but he's confident.
Now, as is often the case around here, the Jets have to back up their talk with their play. Cromartie said they have to win Sunday. Against the Seahawks in Seattle. About that, there's no debate.
He's absolutely right.

In Richard Hodgkinson's case you would be right to say that he plays bowls more often after retiring in the late 1990s from his position as the Collections Manager of the Micropalaeontology Collections. Richard does far more than this of course and one day a week he helps to curate the micropalaeontology collections here at the Museum as a Scientific Associate in the Department of Palaeontology.
Richard's entire career was spent curating the micropalaeontology collections here and his handwriting can be recognised in many of the registers where details about our specimens are recorded. Richard's knowledge of the collections at the Museum is second to none so he is currently helping us by adding information about the people who donated, published and collected the specimens we hold.
This is very important because the Museum recently implemented a computerised database that includes data from all departments (Botany, Entomology, Mineralogy, Palaeontology, Zoology). When the data was all added to a single database there were many problems because previously there had been a lot of duplication of effort. For example my name appeared as "C. G. Miller, C. Giles Miller, Dr G. Miller, Mr C. Giles Miller" and many other variants when we came to look at the data when it was all amalgamated from various sources.
Richard's work has been to investigate the history of some of the people associated with the Foraminiferal Collections by adding dates of birth/death, full names, information about where they worked and any other information that Richard can add from his vast knowledge and experience. Our collection holds a lot of significant historical information. An example of the type of related historical information hidden in our collections can be found in this interesting article that was published in the Daily Telegraph this week about one of our most famous donors Charles Davies Sherborn. Sherborn described himself as a "magpie with a card index mind" and once built a mock volcano in his back garden!
Fortesque William Millett (1833-1915) whose microfossil collections are now at the Natural History Museum was the subject of a scientific article by Richard Hodgkinson.
You would imagine that this only helps me as Micropalaeontology Curator but you would be wrong there. Many of the people associated with our foraminiferal collections, like Sherborn, also collected other fossil groups or other natural historical items like mineralogical, botanical, zoological or entomological specimens. The details that Richard has added to records are shared by the whole Museum so it will be easier for curators in all parts of the Museum to identify which are the correct records in the database to use. It will also help with identifying which records to keep when we begin to start the difficult process of amalgamating some of the duplicated records.
Each year, retired members of staff make very valuable contributions to the running of the science departments behind the scenes at the Museum. Richard Hodgkinson is no exception and his help is very gratefully received.
