Gotta go with the no huddle offense at times as I think as the Jets are prone to get confused out there on D. They also have a lot of fat/overweight defenders who will start sucking wind if the tempo goes up. The Jets linebacker who intercepted that pass didn't look like he could run 100 yards if his life depended on it.

I miss hearing Who Ride??!!!
Take em behind the shed Boys!!
I hate these late afternoon games, the suspense is just a killer !
We're from the town with that great football team,
We cheer the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Mike Tomlin and all his friends are all on the field.
Go out and get them Steelers.
Big Ben and Troy, and Casey and Hines,
We love you Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers are so great, and so hard to overrate,
Good things, will come, to those who work and wait.
Born in Steeler Country......Living in WhoDeyLand
Beyond being eager to see how Ben does without Ward & how hard the Steel Curtain comes down on Whisenhunt's offense, I like the undercurrents in this game....more to the match up than meets the eye... Steelers 31; Cards 17.
TEMPE, Ariz. - There's more to Steelers-Cardinals than just the first meeting of the season of two first-year NFL head coaches, and center Chukky Okobi knows it.
"It's the guys who almost got the job vs. the guys that did," said Okobi, released by the Steelers at the conclusion of training camp and snatched up by Arizona. "And not just the coaches, either.
"I guess it's a grudge match."
Although in this instance, "grudge" is relative.
"I don't think the people that are here are angry. I'm not angry," Okobi said. "I would rather have stayed and played for my hometown team. Russ (Grimm) only played or coached at two places (Pittsburgh and Washington) his whole life. Now, we're out in the desert.
"This isn't necessarily how any of us would have written this story, but it is what it is."
The new-look Cardinals, under first-year head coach and former Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, are composed, in part, of nine coaches or staff members and six players with Steelers ties.
Grimm, Whisenhunt's offensive line coach and assistant head coach, was a finalist for the Steelers job before the team opted for Mike Tomlin.
"A decision was made," Grimm said. "You move on.
"Whether it's bragging rights, anything, sure, it means a little more. But when you look at it, my say-so is going to be done during the week. The players are going to decide what happens on the field, not me, not coach Whisenhunt, not anybody else."
Cardinals special teams coach Kevin Spencer, another who made the migration from Pittsburgh to Arizona, has found preparation a challenge, given the circumstances.
"It really struck me Monday and Tuesday, writing up the scouting report," Spencer said. "It was really kind of surreal that you're writing up a report to tell your new team the strengths and weakness of the kids you spent five years with. It was a little weird game-planning against the guys you've been working heart and soul with for five years."
Spencer, with his 11th high school, college or NFL team in a coaching career that began in 1975, is used to change, but he has struggled with this one.
"My kids still say they miss Pittsburgh," he said. "Of all the places that I've been, that was home, the neighbors, the people that you worked with at the Steelers, the community, my kids in school.
"It was a hard move for a lot of reasons. You find yourself sometimes saying 'we' and 'us' when you're referring to them, and it's not really cool to do that, but it was hard to lose that. It really creeps into your soul and your bones and everything else. We were part of a storied franchise, and we won a lot of football games.
"That's not something you dismiss easily."
Added wide receiver/special-teamer Sean Morey, another Pittsburgh-to-Arizona transplant: "It's gonna be fun, because I'll have an opportunity to play against some of my closest friends. I mean, the three years I spent in Pittsburgh were three of the best years I've had in my life.
"The trash-talking has already begun, the texting and the messages. This is going to be a fun game. I'm going to enjoy it. I'm going to enjoy every snap."
Im ready !!!!!! Now is where we show the Cards that they may have some ties to the Steelers and they may want to play like we used too but there is only 1 Steeler team and we're coming to kick some *** !
Time to kick some ***
I'm blind, I'm deaf, I wanna be a ref! Get on your knees ref your blowing the game!
Big thank you to pa state Daryl Metcalfe. For doing the right thing.
Hell yeah, it's time to bring the Cards back down to earth ! Warner and Leinart will be getting awfully dirty today !

Chinese leader eyes more trade with Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — China and Malaysia announced plans Friday to significantly boost trade in the next five years through measures such as supporting industrial parks in each other's countries.
Leaders of both nations said during a visit to Malaysia by Chinese President Xi Jinping that the plans would increase two-way trade to $160 billion by 2017.
The announcement highlights China's increased role in the region and comes against the backdrop of a budget impasse in Washington that forced President Barack Obama to cancel a trip to four Southeast Asian countries
China is Malaysia's top trading partner. Trade between the two countries totaled $94.8 billion in 2012.
"We would like to participate and cooperate in promoting the prosperity and stability of the region," Xi said in brief remarks to reporters after talks with Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak.
Both sides said they would collaborate on industrial parks in each other's countries, explore joint investment opportunities, broaden the use of local currencies in trade and also hope to work together on rail and university projects.
Xi said China also wants closer cooperation with Malaysia in areas such as defense, naval and military exchanges, security, law enforcement and combating terrorism and transnational crime.
Najib said he plans to visit China next year. He said he had "great confidence that under (Xi's) leadership, China will continue to make much progress and become an economic powerhouse and a major force in providing momentum for global economic growth."
In a subsequent speech to business leaders in Kuala Lumpur, Xi called for closer regional cooperation to ensure sustainable growth and said that "going forward, ASEAN will continue to be the primary choice for China as it opens up its economy."
He added that China remains "committed to reforms and economic restructuring" to sustain its growth.
Xi traveled to Kuala Lumpur on Thursday after visiting Indonesia's capital and is also scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Bali.

Home Page Chess Life Online Archives Knight's Tour: Chess for Charity
|Knight's Tour: Chess for Charity
|June 13, 2013
This article was scheduled to run as
one of the July Chess
Life's "Knight's Tour" items, but had to
be cut for space reasons. Knight's Tour is a tournament travel section
featuring events from the Tournament Life Announcements section. If you would
like your event to be considered for this department, please write to
[email protected].
Every year since 2003, on the first Sunday in August, about 80 players gather for a very unusual USCF-rated G/30 chess tournament just across the street from Philadelphia, in Wynnewood, PA. There are three sections but no entry fees, no set prize list, and all those involved volunteer their time. This event is the Holly Heisman Memorial charity fundraiser, to benefit the fund by that name at The Philadelphia Foundation (www.philafound.org ).
In 1994 Susan Hollis Bloom Heisman died after a nine-year bout against breast cancer. Holly was first a social worker, and then a travel agent. After her death, sister-in-law Eileen Heisman, then with The Philadelphia Foundation and currently President of the National Philanthropic Trust, suggested that the family start a charity trust in her name, with the charter of supporting three of the women's causes Holly worked for: runaway teens, battered wives, and breast cancer.
When I took over the coordination of the Fund from Eileen in 2003, I felt obligated to do something proactive to enhance its endowments and grants. Since chess was my living and, at that time, I was an active organizer and TD, I thought a tournament would be a great fundraiser, but how would it work? I had no models to use as a reference. So I came up with the ideas described above and contacted potential sponsors to donate prizes. Publishers donated books, online sites gave memberships, software companies gave samples of their software, individuals gave refurbished trophies, the Kaiserman Jewish Community Center provided the playing site and janitorial fees, and the USCF the TLA and rating fee. Tax-deductible donations to the charity by participants were at first mandatory, and in later years became optional. No expense money is set aside - all donations are made out directly to The Philadelphia Foundation.
In recent years former student Howard Stern graciously donated a trip to his studio. At first I used this as a prize but this hardly attracted more donations. The good news is that I got to accompany the winner, and Howard twice put us live on his popular satellite radio show! Then Shawn Sullivan of House of Staunton brilliantly suggested Howard's contribution would be far more beneficial if auctioned off on EBay. That suggestion turned out to be worth more than all the other donations combined, as each year Howard fans around the country each year get to bid on a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
At first I was the main organizer and TD but, when I retired from those duties, new volunteers were found in Dr. Prananth Ramachandra and Joshua Anderson, respectively. Without their work, the tournament would not be entering its 11th year in 2013. As explained at the fund's Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/HollyHeismanMemorial, the 2012 grant of over $1,000 was made to the University of Pennsylvania, School of Social Policy & Practice, Evelyn Jacobs Orner Center of Family Violence.
Out-of-towners interested in playing in this unique event can stay two miles down the road at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue, at http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/pennsylvania/hilton-philadelphia-city-avenue-PHLPHHF/index.html. Besides the USCF TLA, more information is available about each year's event via my website www.danheisman.com. If you can't attend, but are interested in making a tax-deductible donation for women in need, you can do it by following the directions at the bottom of http://danheisman.home.comcast.net/~danheisman/Main_Chess/donations.htm. We are very grateful for any donations received.

Pizza Company Appoints Unique Promo Codes to All Tournament Head Coaches, with $1 from Each Order Supporting The V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund
ATLANTA, Ga. (March 18, 2010) - When it comes to cheering for their favorite schools during NCAA March Madness, basketball fans are being asked to put their money where their mouth is - in the Papa John's "Coaches Code Challenge" to raise money for The V Foundation for Cancer Research and The Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund.
Beginning Tuesday, March 16, in partnership with the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), college basketball fans who enter their favorite coach's unique promo code while ordering online at www.papajohns.com, will automatically designate $1 of their Papa John's order to The V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund in partnership with the NABC and WBCA. The special offer includes an XL two-topping pizza for $12, with $1 from each order going to fight cancer.
Throughout the Tournament, coaches and college athletic departments will be reminding fans of the challenge and their respective promo codes - all in a race to raise money and earn bragging rights as the school that best supported its basketball program's fight against cancer.
Lady Buccaneer fans should use the special pass code KEMP whenever they order an XL two-topping pizza during this special promotional offer.
Papa John's, the Official Pizza of NCAA March Madness, will keep a running score of the donations received on Papa John's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/papajohns and will distribute regular updates on the standings and total money raised.
"Everyone's an NCAA basketball fan this time of year and Papa John's is extremely proud to help the NABC and WBCA turn that passion toward a great cause," said Andrew Varga, chief marketing officer for Papa John's. "No matter how your team fares on the court, you can play an active role in helping your school win in the fight against cancer."
The challenge ends at midnight ET on April 6. The total donations received as part of the Coaches Code Challenge will be divided evenly between the two charities.

Courtesy WPI Sports Information
WORCESTER, Mass. - After spotting Clark an 8-0 advantage through four innings, MIT roared back to take a 21-9 victory in day three of the NEWMAC Baseball Tournament at WPI. The Engineers, now 21-10 on the season, advance to the tournament's final day needing to win two games on Sunday to claim the NEWMAC Championship. Clark bows out of the tournament with a 14-21 record.
The Cougars used a big first inning to claim the early lead. Scott Hollingsworth led off with a double to start things off for Clark. After an out was made, the next five Clark batters reached base as they batted around in the inning. Designated hitter Nicholas Kellogg had the key hit for the Cougars, a bases-loaded double that drove in two with the third runner scoring on a throwing error, as Clark took a 5-0 lead after one.
The Cougars added a single run in the second on a Matthew Tillo RBI single and two more in the third on RBI base hits from Jeremy Gerber and Philip DiMarco, as the home team took an 8-0 lead.
Clark starter Gregory Long cruised through the first four innings, not allowing a hit until the MIT fifth. The Engineers exploded for seven runs in the top of the fifth to get right back into the game. First baseman Thomas Phillips led off the inning with a double, his first of two hits in the frame, to get the rally started. After a Steven Nunez single, David Nole came through with an RBI double to get MIT on the board. Following the first out of the inning, MIT loaded the bases and produced four straight RBI hits including a Creed Mangrum two-run single, as MIT pulled to within 8-7.
The score remained 8-7 until the seventh, when MIT pushed 12 runs across the plate on eight hits. With runners on second and third and one out, Nole produced a double that plated two runs as MIT jumped out in front, 9-8. Nole, Mangrum and Phillips all had extra-base hits in the rally during which 17 Engineers came to the plate. Clark added a run in its half of the seventh before MIT tacked on two more in the eighth on a Nole RBI double and a Phillips home run to deep center, bringing the final tally to 21-9. Phillips' blast was his team-leading and conference-best 12th home run of the year.
For MIT, Chris Hendrix picked up the win in five innings of solid relief, allowing two runs on seven hits to move to 2-0 on the year. Stephen Toth earned his first save of the season, closing out the final three innings of the contest. The Engineers had eight players with multi-hit games, led by Phillips' 4-for-5 day with four runs scored and three RBI. Nole was 3-for-5 with three runs and four RBI, while Brian Doyle also drove in four for the victors.
For the Cougars, Philip Bertocci allowed two runs in 2/3 of an inning to suffer the loss, falling to 0-1 on the year. DiMarco and Kellogg led Clark at the plate, each with two hits and two RBI. Hollingsworth and Tillo also had two hits, while Gerber came through with a 3-for-4 day for Clark.

text: This is a very dynamic cinematic orchestral horror movie cue. Soft and creepy dissonant piano motif with rattling voodoo percussion underneath accented by evil chanting witch breaths. It builds to a mighty crescendo with a full orchestral explosion of soaring staccato strings and booming drums. Perfect for film or video projects seeking a cinematic orchestral score. Great for a title sequence or trailer too.

Art Unraveled (Phoenix)
Home from Art Unraveled! This is the third year I've taught there, and it's really a wonderful retreat with great people. So good to see so many returning students! This is me, at my booth on Saturday, at the Shopping Extravaganza. Look here to see photos of the fabulous artwork my students created in my "Recycled Circles" workshop. Keep in mind, these are pieces at the end of the 6 hour workshop and they will be adding and embellishment. GREAT work!!

Hi Jane,ReplyDelete
I took your recycled workshop at Art Unraveled and along with 3 of my table mates loved it so much we organized a Recycled Circle swap.
We agreed to a color scheme at Art Unraveled and then each of us agreed to provide some part of the project. Jonell provided fabric, Annie provided paper, I provided bead and button embellishments and Erin provided fibers. We just exchanged the supplies and it looks like it's going to be fabulous.
When we spoke to you about it at AU you said you might be interested in blogging about the swap, so we took pix of the supplies. Are you still interested?
Shelley Boose
YES Shelley! email me!ReplyDelete
I didn't realize you will be at Art Unraveled! I am traveling over next week to teach some art journaling classes. I'd love to met up with you in person while there.

The list of the world's ultimate 1% has grown: Forbes magazine said its tally of billionaires around the globe climbed 16% over last year.
Topping the list is Carlos Slim, a telecommunications mogul from Mexico with a reported net worth of $73 billion. Microsoft Corp.'s Bill Gates came in second place, again, with a net worth of $67 billion.
Other notables saw their places drop as their bank accounts were squeezed in the last year. Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg fell 31 spots as his net worth dropped by $4.2 billion. Warren Buffett, known as the Oracle of Omaha, dropped to the No. 4 slot after more than a decade in the top 3; his spot was taken over by Amancio Ortega, a Spaniard who holds a huge stake in the retail conglomerate that owns fast fashion brand Zara.

Thanks! Ya it was totally freeform. My dad's friend is a sick DJ and he asked me if I could create something like this so i just did a lot of trial and error 'till i ended up with this. I had to teach myself how to crochet to do certain parts of it that would have been super difficult to knit. I'm glad you like how it turned out <3
Jun 7, 2010, 06.40 PMby kelepso
That is so cool. It must have taken a very long time to make those. It funny that you can wear them and keep warm at the same time. Such a unique idea. Great Job!

Dear Ella,
About six months ago my grandson Adam had a bar mitzvah. It was small and took place on a long weekend. Invitations were sent out, and I knew some people wouldn't be attending, since they had already made other commitments for the holiday weekend.
Some of the invited were relatives, and knowing my relations, I knew they would still send a gift anyway. I told my son and daughter-in-law this, and asked that they make sure all the relatives who send a gift get thank you notes, not just the ones that attend. In all fairness, that's the right thing to do.
"Oh yes, of course," they both said. Well, here it is four months later, and I got a call from one of my relatives asking me if Adam received her gift. She went on to say, "I know the cheque was cashed, but I'm not sure if Adam knows it was from me, as I never received any acknowledgement."
What should I do? Should I call my son and find out why nothing was mailed? I feel terrible and am quite upset. I'm ready to let them know how I feel, but I'm afraid of what the outcome will be if I open my mouth. I hope you can offer your opinion.
Dear Inconsiderate,
It's unfortunate that you've been put in this position. You may feel this reflects badly on you and are concerned that people will think poorly of your family. As a grandmother, that's the last thing you want. The fact is, it's not your gift-giving relative that put you in this position, it's Adam and his parents who need to shoulder the blame. It's the job of the parents of the bar mitzvah boy to make sure this child understands and appreciates what it means to receive a gift.
Often in families there is so much happening with school and extra-curricular activities that there's not enough time in a day to fit in mundane tasks such as writing personalized thank-you notes. What a horrible lesson to teach a child.
Thank-you notes should arrive at the home of the gift giver no later than three months after the event. Ideally, they should be written within two weeks and sent out immediately while the event is still fresh. If possible, they should be hand written and personalized with the giver's name and type of gift. If it's cash, it can say "Your generous gift will help with my education, my trip, my Xbox, whatever." Just make it personal.
People have put their hard-earned, after-tax dollars into this gift, and it's mandatory that they're acknowledged in a timely and respectful manner.
Unfortunately, you're the one who's received the phone call, and it's up to you to relay the message. You don't need to preach. You just need to tell them exactly what was said. What they choose to do with that information is up to them. I might even ask Adam directly about the status of the thank-you cards, in front of his parents. If anyone argues or makes excuses, just say, "Don't shoot the messenger." Once the message is communicated, you've done your job.

(BPT) – Every year more than 67,000 children are treated in an emergency room for accidental medicine poisoning. That's one child every eight minutes. Even more surprising is that in 86 percent of serious cases seen in emergency rooms, the child got into medicine belonging to an adult.
"Ask any parent, and they will tell you they store medicine where children can't get them," says Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide. "But every minute of every day the Poison Control Centers get a phone call about a medicine scare involving a young child."
To find out what is causing this disconnect, and to understand what could be done to fix this problem, Safe Kids Worldwide examined data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Poison Control Centers, and spent time talking with moms.
"What we found is that while parents generally put medicine up and away from kids, they might not be thinking of pills stored in purses, vitamins left on counter tops or a diaper rash remedy near a changing table," says Carr.
The study, "An In-Depth Look at Keeping Young Children Safe Around Medicine," reveals some eye-opening facts. In 67 percent of emergency room cases, medicine was in a spot the child could easily reach, such as in a purse, on a counter or on the ground. Medicine belonging to a relative, such as an aunt, uncle or grandparent, accounted for 43 percent of emergency room visits for medicine poisoning.
"Curious kids can get into trouble fast," Carr says. "It takes only a few seconds for children to get into medicine that could make them very sick."
Safe Kids offers parents and caregivers some tips for helping kids stay safe around medicine:
* Always put medicine and vitamins up and away and out of sight of children. When you need to give another dose in just a few hours, it may be tempting to keep it close at hand, but it is important to put medicine up and away after every use.
* Be alert to products you might not think of as medicine but actually are, such as diaper rash remedies, eye drops or antiseptic ointments. Make sure all harmful products are kept up and away from children.
* Ask guests to put purses, bags and coats where children can't reach them. Many people store medicine in handbags and coat pockets.
* When your child is a guest in someone else's house, be aware of medicine risks. Take a look around to be sure medicine isn't within reach of your child.
* Buy medicine in child resistant packaging when possible. But be aware that "child resistant" doesn't mean "child proof." Given enough time and opportunity, some children will still be able to get into medicine in child resistant packaging.
* Always keep the Poison Control Center number at your fingertips, either by the home phone or programmed into your cell phone: (800) 222-1222.

"Fortunately, there are simple things we can do to protect our kids from getting into medicine, even those kids who are masters at getting into everything," Carr says.
