Birdland – We are just five days away from the opening of the training camp.
Each morning in the "COUNTDOWN TO TRAINING CAMP 2010" we'll take a quick look at a position group. The players report for camp on Thursday. They will hit the field for the first practice at 8:30 a.m. Friday at the Flowery Branch facilities.
We've already looked at the defensive line, linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties.
The offensive line is up today.
Center Todd McClure is back for his 12th season and will continue to anchor this unit.
McClure has started 128 consecutive games, which is tied for a team record.
Guard Harvey Dahl and tackle Tyson Clabo are expected to anchor the right side again. Dahl missed five games last season. About a week after the season, he went to Charlotte to see a specialist and had surgery to repair his right ankle.
Guard Justin Blalock and tackle Sam Baker are back to man the left side of the line.
The unit continued to protect the quarterback well, giving up only 27 sacks last season.
Over the last two drafts, the Falcons have attempted to add to the depth by selecting Garrett Reynolds, Mike Johnson and Joe Hawley.
1. Do a better job against 3-4 fronts, especially when run blocking.
2. Get a better push in short yardage situations.
3. Maintain a high level of pass blocking.
4. Maintain the ability to maul in the run game and increase pancake count.
5. Do a better job blocking in space on screens and sweeps.
Here's a look at the offensive line:
Sam Baker: Made 14 starts last season despite playing with a bad elbow.
Will Svitek: Started two games and played well at left tackle.
Justin Blalock: Started all 16 games for the second consecutive season.
Mike Johnson: A third round pick with Alabama, who appears to have a huge upside.
Todd McClure: The glue of the unit.
Brett Romberg: A veteran, who could be pushed by some of the young talent.
Joe Hawley: A fourth round draft pick, who can provide depth at guard and center.
Harvey Dahl: Started 11 games last season and has a reputation for blocking until he hears the whistle.
Quinn Ojinnaka: Has provided depth, but will be suspended for one game if he makes the final 53-man roster.
Jose Valdez: Was on the practice squad last season.
Tyson Clabo: Has started 53 straight games.
Garrett Reynolds: Got some valuable playing time late last season.
Blake Schlueter: A former 7th round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2009, played at Texas Christian.
Rob Bruggeman: The former Iowa linemen spent last season on the practice squad.

you know whats funny (not trying to pick on you the real falcon) but ive bben reading all of these articles leading up to camp, and a lot of people have been saying player are "out of position". i was unaware that all of you guys are coaches and know where our players need to be at to help us win. again not a knock at you the real falcon, its just ive read this all week about different players and where they should be. but if we do get mankins, blalock will be out of position in the starting line up. i think the bench will be good until someone gets winded.
July 24th, 2010
8:51 am
blaylock is a solid player. otherwise he wouldn't have started 16 games 2 years in a row. this is a solid o-line and will only get better. mike johnson is a beast and will easily supplant the backup T role. and the 20something sacks isn't that bad. matty ice took FOREVER to make a lot of throws last year that lead to many sacks. he's got to get rid of the ball faster. take away at least 10 sacks just because of that and it shows this o-line is VERY good.
July 24th, 2010
9:04 am
That's a good point about the QB sacks.
But, even if you do assign those sacks to the QB, it leaves 17 sacks assigned to the line, 17. That is not something to boast about, either. The standard of excellence in protecting the QB is Zero Sacks per game. Now, you can say I'm dreaming, but that should be the goal. Not that I care how often Matt Ryan gets hit, since I'm Drew Brees fan. But, I bet if you ask Smith how often he would like to see Ryan sacked this year, I bet his number is going to be closer to zero than 27, (assuming he gives a number, which he wouldn't).

Hey B4! I tell ya man you get disrespected all over cyber-space. We have decided you should change your name seeing so many people think you are a total loser, I and the Viking fans have decided to call you……SeenThisLoserB4. Got them windows boarded yet?

July 24th, 2010
9:10 am
ummm, thats an obvious conclusion seenthisb4, but it's not realistic. the best 'sack' stats in the league involve o-lines that have been together forever and a quarterback who goes through his progressions faster than everybody else and gets rid of the ball.
ofcourse mike smith would say 0, but how many sacks did your saints have last year? all qb's get sacked. the question is how many times? my only point is, our o-line got penalized with a moderate number of sacks allowed because matty ice, in the attempt to improve over his freshman year (and i do not fault him for it), went through more progressions and took longer to unload the ball. i'm sure this is in large part due to mularkey adding more wrinkles into the playbook, as he should do.
i guarentee this year, matty ice will not make near the amount of mistakes he made during his 'sophomore slump'. and if last year was a slump for him, we're gonna be just fine…

Hey truth: You can call me whatever you want, doesn't bother me. I've gone toe to toe with some of the very best posters all over this country, and held my own very well. The viking posters are no where near as knowledgeable and insightful about football as fans from other cities, believe it or not the Detroit lions fan base are at the top of the list. I was really surprised by their debating ability. There are always smart alecks at every site, including yourself, but you pale in comparison to some of the cave dwellers in places like philadelphia and pittsburgh. Seriously, you're okay, compared to some of those foul mouthed eagle fans, they are truely ugly. LOL!
I decided to blow off boarding the windows, since the storm hasn't intensified any. I hope that doesn't come back to bite me.
I'm looking forward to DOL's breakdown of the falcant QBs and WRs, he might do the QBs for Sunday.

And you want "intellegent football conversation."

isbg: I think Brees got dumped 20 times last year, 13 times the year before. Not a good trend, and most of them can be attributed to Jermon Bushrod being thrown in to play for Jammal Brown the whole year, even so, still unacceptable.

ok, back to Falcons football…….just looked at the Pats roster but didnt see Mankins on it? hmm…well if we can get him for a year that would give Mike Johnson someone to work under and eventually start next season. If we get Mankins (IF being key word here) than out OL looks pretty good.
Some of these players can be moved around since coach likes them to play multiple positions.

SEENTHISB4-Are you putting your foot in you mouth again? Why would you make an issue of us giving up 27 sacks last yr, when your beloved AINTS gave up TWENTY SIX(26)? I think you and your follow AINTS com padres are having fun on these Falcon blogs now rather than later. Why, because you know there's a very big likelihood that your beloved AINTS will end up getting such a butt whipping when we meet in gm 3, they'll feel like they've just encountered the 2nd coming of KATRINA.
When healthy, our OFF is just as effective as the AINTS, but far more balanced. Our OFF strength, our ability to run the ball, is you DEF's biggest weakness, and you've done absolutely nothing to improve that problem. Our DEF, on the other hand, we have addressed and improved every area of weakness from last yr.
Unlike the AINTS, we won't require career, or near career, performances from a bunch of 8-16yr veteran players just to end up as the NFL's 25th ranked DEF. YOUR ENTIRE OFF AND DEF, AS WELL AS THE FATE OF YOUR ENTIRE TEAM, IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT ON THE FATE OF ONE PLAYER, QB DBREES. We've proven we can still be effective and competitive, even with the eventual Super Bowl champions, without our starting QB, RB, LT, RG, DT and both CB's.

Ken: No, didn't I say that the Saints sack number was unacceptable? I don't know if that "20″ sack number is correct though, I believe they had 20 sacks, but the 26 may include the post season totals. Even still, Kenneth, 26 sacks over 19 games is better than 27 sacks over 16 games.
You may be correct that the Saints haven't done much to improve the run defense, I won't disagree, on the other hand, your team has not shown much improvement on offense. So, if your offense hasn't marketly improved, and neither has our defense, and we have won the overwhelming majority of the last few games, what's going to be any different this year? Let me guess, you think you're defense is going to stop our offense! Yeah, uh-huh. Sorry, but we differ in opinion there.

Falcons were 8th in the league in giving up sacks. Interestingly, only New Orleans ranked higher in the NFC, all the others were AFC teams.
They were 5th in 2008.
They were 11th in QB hits. So Ryan got rid of the ball better than the average QB.

SeenthisB4—-I'm pretty sure you shouldn't brag about posting on every team's blog. To me, it shows something more than troublesome for you. I mean, most people brag about their families, their work or something they do that is extraordinary while you brag about inciting across the country. Have you ever heard the term, Anti Social Personality Disorder? I'm no doctor, and I'm not saying that you sufer from this disorder, however anyone who's claim to internal fame is trying to start arguments over a subject, that you show little knowledge of, isn't what most people would consider "normal." For instance, your preface that a line which surrenders 27 sacks is nothing to brag about. If we were really to analize what you said the first question a rational person would ask is, "What is good?"
For argument sake, let's say that anything that puts a team in the top 25% of the league is good. By giving up 27 sacks last season the Atlanta Falcons were the eigth highest ranked team out of the 32 teams in the NFL. That is exacty 25%! The Saints, to their credit, ranked fourth, which is by all standards exceptional! So, lets take it a step further and add in qb hits. Atlanta had 67 hit on their qb. If you looked at this number, with no understanding of the NFL, you would say that sounds like a lot of hits. However, the Falcons were tied for the ninth fewest hits. Yes, that is just outside of the top 25% of the league but it's not bad.
You would be better off explaining why the Saints O-line is one of the best in the NFL instead of attempting to say that the Falcons line is poor. It shows me that you don't really know very much about football. What I would suggest is for you to read more and argue less. Perhaps, even finding a job could get you out of the funk you're in. What I mean by that is, arguing is not a lifestyle, it's a choice made by people that don't understand an issue. If, you should ever, choose to discuss a topic with facts and understanding then I will look forward to reading your responses. However, I am not hopeful in your ability to do that. Perhaps, next time, we can touch on a subject that Ken brought up and, that is, the fact that the Atlanta Falcons are the fourth youngest team in the NFL. So, you have a good chance of watching us kick the Saints around for the next decade!
July 24th, 2010
1:35 pm
I must admit I haven't paid particular attention to the weak links on our OL. I do know that I am of the same mindset as Smitty in we need more consistency from every position on the team. Our run blocking wasn't as good last year and they need to give Ryan more trust in them so he isn't as anxious to get the ball out of his hand–prematurely.
July 24th, 2010
2:22 pm
Falconfan284: When did I claim any fame? You were correct, you are no doctor and don't know what you're talking about. Your entire football verbiage is equally wrong and moot. Top 25%?! Being 8th or 9th out of a field of 32 is "marginal". I stand by my initial statement, that giving up 27 sacks over the course of a single regular season is mediocre, and nothing to beam about. If you and your falcant beatwriter are happy with those numbers, that's fine with me. I criticize the Saints for every sack on Brees. You guys give the falcants a pass, and say 27 sacks is good.I call that lackadaisical attitude a disorder too, known as the H9N7 disease.
And last year, the Saints were one of the oldest, if not THE oldest team in the league, and they still kicked your youngsters butts. And here's some insight on your knowledge of football, I guarantee you that your falcants don't have more than 1 player on this roster, that were on the roster a decade ago.

Seen—-Comical as your assessments are, it furthers my point about you. You really don't know a thing about football and you have a personality disorder. Perhaps the Saints D can chip in and buy you one. While they're at it, perhaps they could buy one for themselves.
I'm glad you brought up the age of the New Orleans players. They were the third oldest team in the league last season and for whatever reason you think that is a good thing. What it tells me is that the Saints haven't been able to develop young players to replace some of their aging veterans. It also means that their window for winning is closer to being completely shut. Their is some youth along the O-line, corner and at wideout but the rest of the team is at or close to the age where play really falls off. When I was saying that the Falcons were a young team, you took it as a bad thing, but it is really a sign of long term health and stability. Try thinking of the Pats and Colts when I say long term health and stability.
The Saints have been good for exactly ONE year! They remind me more of the Cardinals then Colts or Pats. You should know, the Cards had a good O-line but shaky defense and aging players. Sound familiar to you?
Giving up 27 sacks in a season is more than respectable. The average for the NFL, last season, was 36! As I said previously, ranking in the top 8 is not average or poor. Do you realize what you sound like by saying that it is? You obviously have a huge problem with reading comprehension as well as your myriad of other issues. No one, myself included, has given the Falcons a pass. In fact, the article explains areas where the Falcons must improve with their linemen. The article mentions improvement in both the run and pass. That is unless you don't know what a screen pass or sweep are. Perhaps you can point out where Dled or myself have said there was no area for improvement? If this is the best you have then there is really no need to go toe to toe with you. I'd easily knock you out in the first minute of the first round!
To answer your one question. There are two Falcons on this roster that were in Atlanta for the last 10 years. They are Todd McClure and Brian Finneran!
BTW, when you are proud of trying to argue with players from every team you are trying to bring attention to yourself. Hence the phrase "claim to fame."
Exactly how do you criticize the Saints for every sack given up? Do you write the team? Do you call each of the O-linemen personally and give them your assessment? Can you provide evidence of the 20 times you criticized the Saints for giving up sacks last season? Do you really have so little to do, in your life, that every time there is a sack you have to write how poor the Saints line was, on that play? Do you do the same when they are called for a penalty? Going by your premise that having zero sacks is the only thing acceptable then having zero penalties should be the only acceptable thing for your team as well. Do you give them a pass on penalties? What about incomplete passes? Or drives that don't end in the end zone? What about giving up a touchdown? I imagine that every Saints game is only good if the Saints win 255-0, intercept every pass from the opposing team, score on every offensive play, never have an incomplete pass, or negative run, never commit a penalty or give up a sack. Sure, it's not very realistic because the other team's players are doing their best to stop all of that and still sack Drew Brees but, in your world, that should never happen! Well, that's enough of the fantasy trip to Seen's world! I prefer reality!

I am not trying to dog out our O-Line but I was not impressed with their overall performance last year (27 sacks!!!) so I am hoping that there will be a huge improvement in their protection of the QB/RBs and their overall performance this year. If you compare the amount of time that Brees and Manning, even Flacco had last year to look down field and get rid of the football, the Falcons O-Line fell way short. The sacks could have been significantly higher if Ryan had not been running for his life and throwing the ball out of bounds.
Again, I am hoping that they can greatly improve this year even if it means giving more playing time to the back-ups.

Hiramsaint: I like my posts to be "Remember Shots". LOL! Judging from the whinning from truth, Kenneth, and Falconfan284, I've landed some devasting blows lately. LOL!
Falconfan284: Are you a female? Be truthful. It is a female trait to never stop yapping and asking a million questions.
So, you have two guys that have been with the team 10 years. Which means, more than likely, 10 years from now, none of your youngsters on this year's roster will be on that roster. So, your statement that the falcants will be kicking the Saints around for 10 years, is completely baseless. Besides, right after Katrina, we were one of the youngest teams in the NFL, and went to one of the oldest in 4 years. That might happen to you guys too, but bottom line is the Saints have been kicking falcant butt ever since 2006 and it has little to do with age. We no longer have some of the oldest players from last year, Brunel, Carney, Grant, and Fujita and my guess is some of the other older veterans (Gay, Jason Kyle, Evans, Prioleau) are on the bubble due to the draft picks.
Everything else in your rambling isn't really worth responding to.

Sick& Tired
Mike Smith likes to move guys around and cross-train. Hopefully, that'll start paying off this year helping us to keep guys fresh into the late quarters when they really need to dominate. Keeping Ryan unhurried is the key for us as he continues to mature this season, learning to trust the new OLinemen going forward, as several of the guys up front this year are liable to be replaced next season. I'm sure Smith would love it if Johnson, Hawley and Reynolds could become the mainstays on our line for years to come and that Baker will step his play up to match his high draft number. I'm hoping it's just been a long learning curve for Blaylock and this'll be the year for him to become dominant. If most of those things don't happen, we could be in for some frazzled nerves worried about Ryan's health down the stretch.

Do you sit in your living room on Sunday nights thinking, "You know what the Walking Dead show needs to really put it over the edge? More Pinball." ? Well guess what, you're in luck!
Many gamers were enthralled last year when Telltale games unleashed their emotional episodic Walking Dead game on the masses. We were all caught up with the weight of our decisions affecting the lives of fellow survivors and who didn't worry a little bit about protecting Clementine from the undead hordes when they went to sleep at night? Telltale teased us a bit with their '400 Days' expansion a few months back, but now it's time to reveal the new season!
It's that wonderful time of year again! Horror movies playing 24/7 on cable, the masses planning their Halloween party costumes, and the theme parks turning their family friendly parks into blood and gore infested lands of horror!
Remember when I told you that Jen and Sylvia Soska would be directing "See No Evil 2", the sequel to the 2006 direct to video flick starring the WWE's Kane? No I didn't think you would but I felt like i should ask anyway. Well they are, and now it looks like the first two ladies to be cast in the project are none other than Danielle Harris and Katharine Isabelle. I have no idea what the first one was about but this one apparently follows the same killer from the first as he stalks a group of medical students. Or something. Who cares really. Maybe the two of them will kiss or something.
Christian Serratos, who you probably remember from "Twilight", is the latest name to be added to the upcoming fourth season of "The Walking Dead". She'll play Rosita Espinosa (Muy caliente!) a survivor who runs into our merry gang of zombie killers. Just kidding, if you remember her from "Twilight" then you're a loser and you like loser things! Just kidding again, team Jacob 4 life.
The "Terminator" reboot will be released into theaters on Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Because weekends are for pricks.
"Insidious 3" has been confirmed to be happening now that "Insidious: Chapter 2" pulled in $41 million this past weekend. Leigh Whannell will once again pen the script but no word on if James Wan will once again return to direct. One thing is for sure though, I will most likely come up with a half assed excuse as to why I can't see it for the podcast. No, but seriously, I had a lot crap going on this weekend. You don't know me!
Stop the presses, you mean to tell me that Gary Oldman and Kerri Russel are both in "Dawn of the Planet of the apes"??? There's also a full official synopsis at the link but I think we all know I've given you the important news... that you probably already knew. I should do this every day.
"Jurassic Park 4" has been pushed to "a later date" according to Universal, who declined to elaborate on exactly what that means. This gives me more time to watch the sequels, of which I have seen zero. I have seen "Carnosaur" though, which isn't canon but I think counts anyway.
The guys who brought you the Walking Dead game last year that was actually good, Telltale Games, are working on a game based on a werewolf comic book adaptation next. Here's hoping I don't have to make the choice of whether or not I have enough food to feed the small children in my care. That pretty much put me off that game for good. It was too real man, too real...
I haven't taken an informal poll on this, but am I the only person that loved "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter"? Either way, Dominic Cooper, who played a smooth talking vampire friend to Honest Abe in that film has signed on to another vampire film, Universal's "Dracula". You know, the one that isn't actually about Dracula, instead focusing on the Vlad the Impaler mythos. Either way, I hope there's an axe with silver melted onto it. (does anyone even get that reference??)
This Bluray artwork for John Carpenter's "The Fog" is delightful. Hal Holbrook's 'stache is simply breathtaking.
Michael Cane has joined the cast of Brad Anderson's ("Session 9") next film, "Eliza Graves". The story is loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's early short story "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether". I assume Cane will play one of those two guys, right? Or maybe a butler. Is there a butler?
Glen Mazzara, a one-time show runner on "The Walking Dead", is developing a prequel to "The Shining" over at Warner Bro's. This is actually… a good idea. I know, I'm as surprised as you are.
"Highrise" is described as "Misery" in a Manhattan Skyscraper". I assume it's about Schnaars and a mentally unbalanced BGH fan. If Hollywood needs any advice, I have many casting suggestions.
I have no idea what "R.I.P.D." is about, but if the still above is in any way indicative of the film. Sign me up.
"Byzantium" sounds like an awesome Norwegian black metal band but it is in fact Neil Jordan's upcoming flick about two vampires who befriend a young girl. The film has just been slapped with a June 28th release date in limited theaters and VOD. My only hope is there's at least some corpse paint or a lanky kid who wears a ratty leather jacket. Something!
Lindsay Seim, who you might remember from... well I have no idea actually, has been confirmed to be staring in "Insidious: Chapter 2", the upcoming sequel to the 2010 much loved hit. Seim will be playing the younger version of Elise Rainer, the voodoo high priestess from the original flick. At least I think that's what she was. She spoke funny words and claimed to be able to communicate with the dead so lets call a spade a spade.
Curtis Gwinn and Channing Powell have been added to the writing team for season 4 of "The Walking Dead". Maybe they can finally write in some smiles for the gang? It can't possibly be true that not one person has cracked some pearlies since the zombie outbreak happened.
Writer Seth Grahame-Smith took to his tweets to drop a bomb that leads one to believe that he's about to put pen to paper on "Beetlejuice 2". The picture shows our favorite beetled one standing in front of a Mac with the caption "It's showtime". A clever little setup that probably took about the same time it would have taken him to write a few pages worth of the new script. But hey take your time. It hasn't even been 30 years yet.
Neve Campbell recently broke the silence around the possibility of a "Scream 5", and whoa daddy is it a big bomb that she dropped. Neve said, and you might want to sit down for this, that "I'm not sure they're going to make it". I know right? Exciting. Wait there's more. She went on to say that if approached about the film she'd "have a chat with them about it". There you have it. The film might not happen, but if it does she might be interested in talking about it.
Big news about "The Host 2", the sequel to the much loved Korean monster flick, has dropped on the tubes and I'm going to throw up I'm so excited to tell you about it. Word has it that Park Myung-chun will make his directorial debut with the film that has been slapped with a summer 2014 release date. If you hate subtitles, you now have about a year and a half to learn Korean.
Go punch someone in the face, kids, because the second half of season 3 of "The Walking Dead" hits the boob tube next month and a brand spankin new trailer has hit the interwebs. I don't think it really shows much, but if we're being honest I watched it with the sound muted because the wife and I are pretty hooked on "Friday Night Lights". Yeah it went off the air a few years back, but we're finally watching it on Netflix. It's really good. You should check it out.
I don't really know what this means because the trailer actually looked kind of good, but the "Carrie" remake has apparently been pushed from a March release date all the way to October 18th of this year. I like to think that the filmmakers are just trying to be nice because they know it's cold as crap in March and they'd rather I not have to leave the house. So, thanks guys.
I will literally believe anything Paul Giamatti tells me. He could walk up to me right now and tell me the sky is green and I'd high five him and say, "Right on! I love your movies". So if he tells me that "Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires" is still going to happen then I believe him. The film would be a sequel to 2002's "Bubba Ho-tep" and Giamatti would play Colonel Parker, the former manager of Elvis. How awesome would it be to have Giamatti as your personal life manager? Just wake up and he tells you what to eat and stuff? He's not in the best shape so that might not work out but still. He seems like a nice guy.
Good news kids. "The Walking Dead" has officially been picked up by AMC for a fourth season. But there's some bad news also here. Glen Mazzara, the guy who replaced Frank Darabont as the shows driver, has left the show as well. No word yet on who will replace him but word on campus is the reason for the split is a difference of opinion between Mazzara and AMC. Really just makes me think how happy I am that Eric and I came to an agreement on who should be the drunk one on the podcast pretty quickly.
I'm just going to come right out and say it. I love the movie "Mean Girls". I guess a lot of people do though so I'm not really admitting anything crazy here. Whatever, I'm sorry I let you into my soul now. The reason I bring up the film is because it's director, Mark Helmer, has been tapped to direct a new coming of age vampire flick titled "Vampire Academy". Based on the book with the same name the story tells the tale of a young lass who travels to a hidden school where she learns the ways of a special breed of vampires who can walk in the daylight. Honestly this sounds like some sort of Skinamax flick and I pray they land Lindsay Lohan as the lead.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Spokane's Police Chief doesn't know if armed guards would help safety in Spokane Public Schools.
The National Rifle Association called for an armed guard in every school in America on Friday in response to the Newtown School Shooting.
Chief Frank Straub said his department doesn't have the manpower to put an officer in every school.
"Could we do that with the existing officers? Probably not. Is that 100-percent necessary? I'm not 100-percent sure. I think there's probably a bigger discussion on why are people going into schools and shooting kids," said Straub.
Spokane Public Schools already has commissioned police officers in several local schools, but none of those school resource officers are armed.
Spokane Mayor David Condon said it's a little too early to comment.
"I'd like to be involved in it, but the reality is at the national level, those politics and those policies will be implemented and in the executive branch of the city we would monitor that," said Condon.

By Christian Cintron, Hollywood Staff
In this week's episode of Real Housewives of New York City, the ladies head to the Hamptons to celebrate Sonja Morgan's cabaret burlesque poetry slam. When did doing improvised poetry in lingerie become an art form? More importantly, when did Sonja become J.P. Craigslist? She hires an entire free labor squad of teenagers. Hopefully they are film students and can document her madness in Grey Gardens II: The Wrath of Cans.
Aviva Drescher is fighting with Carole Radziwill over whose book is most worthy of the bargain bin. Heather Thomson will remind anyone who will listen that she used to work for P. Diddy. Meanwhile, this season's editors are the shadiest in Housewife history. Exiled housewife LuAnn Desperate for Cash Lesseps keeps getting called a drag queen within tongue-in-cheek edits. And Ramona Singer, a.k.a. Eye-lander the Last Original Wife, is in Africa delivering Pinto Grigio to starving children.
The ladies go to a barbeque at LuAnn's house. It's nice of them to keep her on the show since she lost her Jitney bus pass in her divorce and is hardly in the city. Aviva's "friend" and "image consultant," Amanda Sanders, tags along. Is she yet another woman Harry Dubin has slept with? Why is she there? She mentions decking Heather, and Heather gets into her face (let's applaud her for that). She's prepping for the release of her rap album under the name DJ Heather Tho. Her first single "Shove It In Yo Spanx" features lyrics like the following...
I'm chillin in the city and I'm Heather ThoMy Yummy Yummy Spanx will fix your camel toe. Holla!
Sadly, this is not the case...
Heather wants Amanda out, but the drunk girl insists on being inserted into Aviva and Carole's quiet discussion. Doesn't she realize their conversation is so boring that the camera crew has submitted to filming LuAnn serve cake? Plus, let's face it: Bookgate is a little ridiculous. Even though Carole probably had some significant help in writing her book, she was highly condescending to Aviva. On the other hand, Aviva came out of left field with her book deal and was doling out hearsay on reality television. Even if Carole's books are copies of Fifty Shades of Grey with her name written on them in crayon, it's a capital crime in reality TV to air out dirty laundry on television... at least without saying allegedly a lot.
Things get weird fast. A drunk Sonja is dancing around the table and claims to have peed. Her poor interns sit there knowing they'll have to clean her. Meanwhile, a conversation between Heather and Aviva escalates as Aviva's mild-mannered husband Reid randomly chimes in. Correction: yells in. NeNe Leakes may want to talk to him about entering women's business. Apparently, he was witness to "multiple sources" talking about Carole's book. He also said she was fat and had no friends and shops at Ross Dress for Less, so he may not be reliable. Aviva, Reid, and Amanda yell at Heather until she decides to ride dirty, delivering a cuss-filled tirade to Aviva. The entire cast treats Heather like some sort of gangster; she worked for Diddy and Beyonce's luxury clothing line, but they are acting like she shot Tupac. (Racism, anyone?) LuAnn asks everyone to leave because she has a lot of not-starring-on-the-show to do in the morning.

Taboo Foods That You Feel Sick When You Just Think Of It
Want to eat? Now I'm mapping you have a complete desire to eat. Enjoying a continuation of unusual culinary journey through the disgusting delicacies.
Happens, to find a single cockroach in a slice of bread, and the whole loaf whistling flies in the trash. You'll find a worm in the fresh meat, and then bypass the "sinful" butcher shop fifth road. Most people squeamish, but not on the island of Sardinia, where the main national treasure considered Kasu Marz – Pecorino cheese, rotting, infested living grubs. Eating protein and fat cheese, the larvae emit specific enzymes digesting dairy components in a special sticky, sticky mass. Being ready to use, weight aforesaid swarm still living worms. Keep in mind that the larvae can jump from fright at 10-15 cm, ie directly in the face of consumer-extremal. That is a delicacy to eat sardiniysky preferably with eyes closed.
Once a person's mouth, Kasu Marz happy in it a mere revolt – as if the language and the sky flamed hellfire.
Italian doctors believe Kasu Marz product hazardous to health. Therefore, by law, this cheese is banned for sale. Find it harder than marijuana, with rare local wedding ceremony goes without tasting worms.
Near maggoty cheese and brains of monkeys shark soup looks not so disgusting. That's the trouble … sharks. Because of the fashion for Chinese shark fin soup from the stock of these fish is rapidly declining. They kill them very badly: catch, cut off the fins and the body thrown back into the ocean, where the shark takes a painful death. 65% of shark species in the oceans considered rare and endangered. And what is most offensive – the taste of shark fin is nothing special, only Ponte, Ponte, murderous inhuman Ponty ..
How about a cup of coffee? Sugar? Cream? Cat Poo? In Indonesia, to hear such words from the waiter – a normal phenomenon. In the forests of this country lives such a cat on behalf of Tsivettta Luvak. Dear animal climbs on the coffee bushes and eats berries coffee. The pulp is digested, and grains – no. Here are their people and gather to sell at $ 1200 per kilo. Finished beverages inherent in long-term and, as they say gourmet, very pleasant aftertaste.
Despite the stringent international taboos and restrictions, the Japanese continue to kill whales for their meat – a soft, watery, it stank "goat". Unlike us, the students of Western cultures, the Japanese whale meat just love it they dream about at night, when the Japanese themselves dream of the Buddha.
In India, the descendants of mixed marriages between the British and the Hindus rejected by wide public masses and, therefore, forced to live separate communes, with their particular traditions, including and cooking. The dish, which symbolizes the gap with both the European and the eastern cultures – this is Kutty Pi, the embryo of a pet. As a rule – a kid.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (BP) -- Politico reported in May that "the percentage of Americans who identify themselves as 'pro-choice' is at the lowest point ever measured by Gallup" -- 41 percent. Fifty percent of Americans call themselves pro-life.
This is just a poll. Public opinion could and will shift in different directions. Polls, furthermore, are inexact. I don't ask polls to do a lot of heavy lifting in my intellectual life. With that said, this is a surprising development, a significant one.
This means that the "culture war" has not been for naught.
Granted, some have fought for the cause of life in less than ideal ways. Championing a pro-life position from a God-and-country stance -- linking the Kingdom of Christ with the nation of America -- is a mistake. Some who have fought for the pro-life cause and other conservative (biblical!) social positions have made personal compromises and used the church as a platform. Yet with all these qualifications stated, the "culture war" is a worthy one to fight.
The media, of course, loves this language of a war. Conservatives are read as a crusading, domineering force; to contend for the rights of the unborn is to become some sort of a vigilante, to shirk thoughtful, respectful dialogue and become a spittle-flecked warrior. Again, some may deserve this reputation, but many do not. Many Christians have fought for the unborn on staunchly biblical and intellectual grounds. These people take a great deal of heat from the secular press. But in reality they deserve a great deal of praise. Their efforts have not been in vain.
All the campus pro-life groups and silent protests and counseling at abortion clinics and legislative action and making of films like "Bella" and careful appointment of pro-life justices and, most importantly, prayer, has all been worth it. This is not to say that abortion is now illegal. It is not. But gains are being made.
This is a pretty strong counter to the rhetoric making its way around evangelicalism that politics don't really matter, that evangelicals should be neither blue nor red when it comes to social policy, that earthly causes aren't really worth fighting, that the pro-life cause is really about power and domination and winning the "war." For most Christians, fighting abortion is not about power. It is not about personally inaugurating Christ's Kingdom. It is about speaking up for the least of these in a profoundly Christocentric way. Psalm 139 matters; the fight for righteousness mapped out in the Beatitudes matters (Matthew 5).
I am glad to contend for the pro-life cause in a reasoned, rational way. But I am not willing to lay down this fight because someone brands me a "warrior" because of it. God's glory is in this fight. We may never win it, or we might. But it is worth our time and effort. If we abandoned abortion as a first-order issue to focus on other issues of less import, we would not be seeing the gains we are currently witnessing.
So, young evangelicals: do not believe the "fetus fatigue" language. Do not pass on an issue because it's controversial and people won't like you because of it. Do not cease to contend for the unborn, whether through calm conversation in the lunchroom or advocacy in the nation's capitol. Never make the mistake of thinking that this cause is the Kingdom, or that the state is the church. Don't make the further mistake of writing everyone off who came before you simply because the media branded them with the "culture warrior" tag.
With a proper perspective on this issue, let's keep fighting and praying for the day when Roe v. Wade is struck from the books.

Great satellite radio station on Sky digital channel 913 (sometimes says "Apple FM"), and on the net:
They did a 2 hour special on David Byron of Uriah Heep last Sunday, and it looks like this Sunday at 4pm UK time will be a Camel special. There's also a 2 hour prog show at midday every Sunday.

CHICAGO, ILL (LEARFIELD-WSAU) The Milwaukee Bucks got whipped at Chicago last night, 105-to-84. The Bucks fell to 0-and-5 in their seven-game exhibition schedule. Chicago jumped out to a 15-to-2 lead and never looked back. They led by as much as 30 in the second half.
Derrick Rose scored 24 points in 27 minutes, after missing all of last season with a torn knee. All of Chicago's five starters scored in double figures including former Buck Mike Dunleavy, who had 12 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
Bucks' coach Larry Drew said his team was manhandled on the glass. Chicago out-rebounded Milwaukee 52-to-31, as the Bulls improved to 6-and-0 in the pre-season. The Bucks' starters had only 10 rebounds.
Shooting guard O-J Mayo missed the game due to a family matter. Gary Neal started in Mayo's place, and led Milwaukee in scoring with 14 points. The Bucks will host the New York Knicks tomorrow night.

5 tips for retiring before you're 50
For one couple, retiring early so they could travel the world became possible after they followed a carefully laid-out plan. Here's how they did it.
At 31, Robert Charlton had grown disillusioned with his job as a technical writer.
"The idea of doing a desk job for another 30 years seemed painful to me, so I came up with this idea of trying to retire before 45," he says. He shared the idea with his wife, Robin, who was then 31 and working as a travel agent.
Robert read up on personal finance instead of hiring an adviser and looked at taxable accounts they could draw from before turning 60. During that period, Robin completed an accelerated nursing program to become a registered nurse. By age 43, they'd gone from $16.88 in their checkbook at age 28 to saving up enough money to leave both their jobs and live off the interest. (Are you saving enough for retirement? Find out with MSN Money's calculator.)
Now, years later, they travel the world, sky diving in New Zealand, hiking through India, sailing through the Chilean fjords and documenting their adventures on their website, wherewebe.com. Although many people struggle to retire in their 50s or 60s, Robert believes it's possible for others to retire early, as he and his wife did.
"Really, we're very average people," he says, admitting that it's harder, though not impossible, for those with kids. "We never had power jobs. We just both took intelligent steps."
Here are some of those steps:
1. Cut housing costs
The Charltons spent a year carefully tracking their spending to see where they could cut back. But, as Robert says, "the truth of the matter is, we really didn't have that much fat to cut out."
Still, they agreed to rent out half of the bilevel starter home they owned in Boulder, Colo., so they could pay off the mortgage and pad their savings. Switching from a 30-year to a 15-year mortgage also helped the couple reach their goal. "You save so much on interest that it does result in a higher monthly payment, but not as high as you would think," says Robert. They later sold their house and put the equity into a bond fund.
2. Agree on your priorities
Instead of buying new cars, the couple kept their old ones, and Robin stuck to grocery shopping lists instead of buying whatever caught her eye.
"That's how he shopped (without sticking to the list), so he was cut off from shopping," she says. Keeping their shared goal in mind kept their eyes on the prize. "We were both on the same page," adds Robin. "We both knew we wanted to put the money towards experiences."
However, because they value travel so much, the Charltons didn't completely deprive themselves while saving up for retirement. As Robert says, it's important to "balance living for tomorrow with living for today." If saving feels like too much of a chore, it's easy to fall off the bandwagon.
3. Live below your means
Now that they've left the workforce, the Charltons live modestly by staying in hostels and focusing on less expensive travel destinations. They estimated needing between $30,000 and $40,000 annually, and they've managed to stay in that range, though they're averaging closer to $40,000.
Last year, they splurged on a trip to Italy and Switzerland for their 25th wedding anniversary. However, Robert says, "we typically have tried to travel places where the dollar goes further, like Argentina and Chile, where the exchange rate was in our favor." Destinations like India and Nepal have higher airfare but low day-to-day expenses, so they stay for several months at a time to balance out the airfare costs.
4. Stay in the game
Although the Charltons' portfolio has had its ups and downs, they've resisted the urge to try to time the stock market or get out altogether. "We did some of our best investing during the bear market of 2000 to 2003," says Robert. "We bought stocks 'on sale' and reaped the rewards afterwards." Although they could have gotten a higher return on investment if the timing had been different, he says, they also underestimated future earnings, so that helped them reach their target more quickly than planned.
5. Don't rule out temporary work
Dips in the market have made it more challenging for the Charltons to live off their interest. So when Robert was offered a six-month consulting project in 2009, he jumped at the opportunity to rebuild their capital. Although he'd once dreaded going to work, he actually liked the temporary arrangement. "I genuinely enjoyed working hard during that window because I knew it wasn't endless, which was the thing I found challenging early on when I first came up with this plan," he says.
Robin adds that they're open to making adjustments as they go or returning to work if needed. However, she values the change to traveling and being active while they're young and healthy. "Working as a nurse, I realize so many people save so much, and a lot of people don't get all the years they thought they'd get," she says.

A.Energy and sustainable design consultant Andy
Shapiro responds: Every inch of insulation you add to an
attic results in less savings than the previous inch you added.
That's just the way the physics works out. The good news
is that adding another inch of insulation in an attic costs
very little, if any, in added labor, so it's mostly added
material costs. For a house in central New York (6,700 degree
days) with typical efficiency oil heat (75%) and oil at
$1.25/gallon, the cost for the heat lost through the insulation
in a 1,200-sq.-ft. attic for a typical year is summarized in
the table below.
Local codes usually dictate the minimum acceptable level of
attic insulation. What kind of savings can a homeowner expect
when they upgrade from R-30 to R-40? It would be worth another
$20 in the first year. If the homeowner expects a simple
10-year payback, then up to $200 could be spent on the upgrade
to R-40, and still be worth it. The added cost for R-38 unfaced
batts over R-30 (retail at my lumber yard) is $0.12/sq.ft., or
about $150 for the attic, so that looks like a good deal for
the owner.
How about R-50? To get R-50, you'd probably add R-19
to the R-30 batts, at a cost of $0.24/sq.ft. over the R-38
batts alone, or about $290 for the whole attic. The first-year
savings is $12, so with a 10-year payback, it's worth
$120. That doesn't look like a great deal for the owner.
It gets worse for more insulation: it would cost another $280
to go to R-60 over R-50, with a 10-year savings of $80.
This is why R-38 batts are so common in attics in heating
climates. It's usually the right price point for the
owner. If you are blowing in cellulose (my favorite, as it
fills all the odd-shaped places well and is a recycled
material), the incremental costs are a little different. All
this said, I've never heard of an owner who was sorry
that they put in too much insulation.

This is an "argument calculator" funktion. The precision is set to 4 and you can use dot (.) or comma (,) as decimal mark (which is great for german users with a comma on the numpad).
This opens a python command line. You can use math and random and float-division is enabled (without appending .0 to integers). I just don't know how to specify a standard precision.
use python as calculator, press ctrl+d to exit
reminder: when doing factions add atleast one decimal number like so

A common programming question for interviewers to ask potential job candidates is to code "FizzBuzz". That is, if a number is divisible by 3, then it should display "Fizz". If a number is divisible by 5, it should display "Buzz". If it is divisible by both, then it should display "FizzBuzz". Otherwise, display the current number between 1 and 100.

The socket.gethostname() call returns the host name of the computer. The socket.gethostbyname_ex() call returns a list of three items: The host name, the list of aliases for this host, and a list of IP addresses. Recall that Python?s array starts with index 0, the socket.gethostbyname_ex(?)[2] expression refers to the list of IP addresses. Finally, the print statement prints out the IP addresses, one per line.
