A savage blood sport
Imagine a bear, tethered to a post, set upon by up to four trained fighting dogs. Hundreds of people are watching.
The dogs, which are also at risk of injury, are groomed to be extremely aggressive. Their ferocity is a matter of pride for the owner, who reaps the financial rewards of the baiting, which is illegal in Pakistan.
The crowd knows that the tethered bear is suffering a further handicap. Its claws and teeth will have been removed – an agonising mutilation for which anaesthetic is rarely used.
The 'contest' lasts for three rounds. As the dogs are encourgaed to attack, the bear will tire and weaken, until it is unable to remain upright.
This is when the bear's face and neck become vulnerable to the dogs' teeth. They hang from the bear's mouth and lips as they try to drag it to the floor. If they succeed, the dogs 'win' the round; if the bear stays on its feet, it has 'won'.
Bears sustain more injuries than dogs in these savage stand-offs, suffering ripped noses and mouths. The dogs' jaws, clamped around the bear's nose, are prized apart using sticks.
Most bears are permanently scarred, but the killing of either animal is avoided – they are too valuable. The bears live on to suffer further at the hands of their owners.
Help WSPA end bear baiting
Working with the Pakistani authorities and the Pakistan Biodiversity Research Centre (PBRC), WSPA is halting an increasing number of bear baiting events.
Your donation will fund our work to continue and help WSPA reach our ultimate goal – to stamp out bear baiting for good.

On behalf of the USAID Kenya Mission Director, Karen Freeman, I extend my appreciation to you, Secretary Macharia, for the opportunity to mark the importance of World Breastfeeding Week.
At the heart of USAID Kenya's assistance to the health sector is the premise that improving the health of mothers and children contributes to social and economic development. There are simple proven interventions that can enhance the quality of life for mothers and children. It is for this reason that USAID Kenya continues to provide support to the Division of Nutrition at the national level through the Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program and to the counties through the AIDS, Population and Health Integrated Assistance service delivery projects, called APHIAplus. These U.S. programs invest in capacity building for community health workers and health facilities to ensure that infant and young child feeding policies are implemented at the household level and in the community.
This is an occasion to appreciate the progress the Government of Kenya and its Ministry of Health have made in the past year, such as the promulgation of the 'Breast-milk Substitutes Bill', which regulates the marketing of breast milk substitutes. Kenya also joined the Scaling Up Nutrition – SUN – movement and is following the SUN framework to improve interventions in the first 1000 days of life. This will reduce child mortality and morbidity and ensure lifelong gains in education, poverty reduction and economic growth. The Kenyan government has demonstrated its commitment to providing the best care for newborns, infants and young children and ensured that the right information about infant and young child feeding is given to mothers, parents and communities.
Still, in Kenya, only 32% of infants 0-6 months old are exclusively breastfed, so much remains to be done to promote, protect and support breastfeeding. Exclusive breastfeeding is the single most effective preventative intervention for ensuring child survival. In 2008, The Lancet published a study that estimated that 13 percent of all deaths of children under five years old could be prevented by exclusive breastfeeding, while a further 6 percent of deaths could be prevented by combining exclusive breastfeeding with the timely introduction of appropriate complementary foods after age 6 months.
Ladies and Gentlemen, focusing on the child's first 1000-day window of opportunity will help Kenya accelerate the achievement of all the MDGs as well as contribute to the realization of the social and economic objectives of Vision 2030.
In closing, I would like to wish the Ministry of Health success in the breastfeeding outreach activities that will take place this week and to reaffirm USAID Kenya's on-going partnership with the Ministry of Health in the effective implementation of priority health interventions for women and children.
Thank you

Edmonds >Beauty > Moda Hair Cafe & Day Spa Inc
538 Main St, Edmonds, WA | Directions 9802047.810432 -122.376122
Mon 10:00 AM-8:00 PM,Tue-Fri 9:00 AM-9:00 PM,Sat 8:00 AM-6:00 PM,Sun Closed
Charged TWICE my quoted price and took THREE times as long – I had the most disappointing end result, and was charged twice what I was quoted and took three times as long...
I had a gift card to Moda, and looking at their website and prices, booked a partial foil. I was very specific to book a partial foil at the current rate of $66 - the bare minimum foil. I had never gotten color there before and didn't know what to expect. I also asked what the timeline would be and the receptionist said about 60-75 minutes.
Upon arrival I checked in and met my stylist. She asked me if we were doing a foil and a cut. I said "No, Partial".
I wanted something fun and chunky and dramatic within the blonde/light brown family (my hair was all over bleached blonde) to help transition my color back to natural. We looked at photos and discussed "chunky" for my partial.
Instead she ended up doing a full foil with two colors. She never once said that this is an additional cost, or that she was doing a full foil. The color was well blended, and ended up about 1/2 a shade darker than when I came in. Not at all what I wanted. THREE hours later we finally started drying my hair - but by then I was there almost three times as long as I had anticipated, so I requested to not have my hair styled.
I go to check out in a rush, and find out my total was $117. I asked why the price had more than DOUBLED. The receptionist said she didnt know (to quote her "Maybe it was because it took so long, or you're hair is really thick" As a side note, my hair is fine and extremely thin), and could ask the stylist. I said I needed to leave, as I was already an hour late to my next appointment, so she offered to check with the stylist and call me back.
I have yet to hear from them.
I'm disappointed because The appointment took THREE times as long, was charged TWICE as much as I was quoted, and I didn't received a single service I came in for. I also was NEVER informed of any additional costs or made aware of changes.
I wanted a fun summer look and ended up with a color I could have done myself for $7 dollars from a box.
Shannon for Hair Services – I've been seeing Shannon for hair services for about six months now. I don't have a lot of hair to work with, but love having layers to curl my hair with. I have had some haircuts in the past at other salons where my layers get too choppy and I end up feeling like I have no hair left. But Shannon knows how to give me the perfect amount of layers while keeping my hair as long as possible. She does a great job at coloring my hair as well. No matter how comfortable your economic state is, she is willing to work with any budget and can recommend different options for your color. She creates a beautiful color for me, that fades out beautifully too, so that my lighter roots aren't totally obvious if I can't afford another color for awhile. She's friendly and professional, and I'd recommend her to anyone.
what a joke – owner was sloppy and unprofessional, stylist were acting like they were in middle school, don't be fooled by the "INSIDE" reviews here!
More Moda please! – I've had my hair styled at various price-point salons. From the $10 Hair Academy, $25 mall salon and the $50+ range salons. Each one has its perks (mainly the price) but none had the "X" factor like Moda Hair Cafe & Day Spa.
When I looked in the mirror and realized my hair was growing out crooked from the last Salon butchering, I decided to put my "shoe/coffee allowance" towards a neighborhood Salon, that might be a bit pricey (starting at $36), but worth it in the end.
I have met with Dani four times in the past year, and each visit is a new experience, from what style I feel like sporting for the next few months to "Hey, I'm inspired by your sweater. Do you have a minute while I give you a mini-makeover?" That made my day!
I would recommend Moda to anyone, whether you are getting your nails done, need to relax with a facial or you are sick of your "do-nothing" hair style.
I always leave Moda feeling confident, knowing I will always have a good hair day.
WOW! Fern thank you for being so amazing. – Fern (owner/ stylist) is one of the most experienced stylist I have ever met. I am quite picky when it comes to my hair. I have been on the hunt for a new stylist for about a year and a half. My search is now over.
Anyone who has had one of those haircuts where your hair is just easy after will understand. It may sound simple but it's not. Fern expressed a high level of knowledge when it came to both hair cutting and color technique. She took me from blond to the most amazing chocolate brown. I just LOVE it!
I told her to give me a bunch of her cards because I just know I will be stopped in the street and I will gladly pass along her name.
Extremely Pricey! – After reading several reviews, I was very excited to try MODA salon and try a new summer haircut. Right when I got in to the reception area, I have to wait a few minutes to get checked in because the receptionist was chatting with a co-worker. She did not even notice me coming in that I have to wait and get her attention! I arrived a few minutes early, so I sat down and waited for my stylist. She came in on time and greeted me with a smile. She was very courteous, pleasing, and I appreciated the attention and detail that she gave me. For a $43 haircut, I was expecting something edgy, modern, and fresh BUT I would have gotten the same result elsewhere and pay half the price. I have no problem paying extra if it would produce a good result, yet the services in this salon was overpriced! I even chose a senior stylist but to no avail :( I am not coming back again and I do not recommend it to anyone.
Try it - you'll love it! – I love Moda! I've never had a 'bad hair' experience. The staff is very professional - I love Jacqueline - though probably a bit pricey on various items, you can't beat the service or the resulting product!!
Great services - super friendly staff!!! – I love this place - I regularly visit for eyebrow waxing, lash and brow tinting and facials. They seriously "design" your eyebrows! Keegan and Shay Lynn are excellent - super friendly and I get compliments on my skin all the time thanks to their expertise. Their product lines for make up and skin care are top of the line. Everyone in this place is friendly - from the minute you walk in to the minute you leave. I 100% recommend taking some spa time for yourself here!
Moda VIP – I was talked into going to moda by a friend who gave me a gift cert that she had gotten from the salon called a VIP, to be honest i thought it was a little corny; however after visiting i can see why they call it that. I was welcomed warmly and had a great experience meeting the director of the salon and owners. I was taken care of like a true VIP and i love my new hair! Moda is not cheap but the staff is friendly, the hair is great and I?m trying out the spa next week! Thanks for the recommendation Julie!
Jessica Hoff
Nice staffing & salon – I have gone to this hair salon a few times already & truly do love the experience every time!The girls working there are so friendly & really listen to your needs & interests.The service is outstanding as they always offer a drink & to hang up your coat.If you don't know what you want done to your hair,they are sure to help figure out a look for you.The salon carries great products like bumble & bumble (I absolutely love).I can't say that I have been to the spa portion of the salon but will try it one day.I am always pleased with the outcome of my haircut & style.The price is $39 but also includes a shampooing & conditioner.I can't wait to go back for a fresh new summer time look!

Great dentist! – Now this is a dental office I can trust. Family Dental Foster City did an excellent job with a tooth ache I had. I hardly felt that needle that I have a huge dislike for. I needed a filling that was in bad shape replaced. Another dentist here in the city said I needed a crown. Family Dental said my old filling had a leak and that was the reason I had pain. No need for a crown lets just redo that filling and be on your way. All is well now and I'm not a few hundred dollars poorer because Family Dental isn't out to milk a persons bank account dry with unnecessary work, they are very professional.
On my first visit they showed me all my teeth one at a time on a monitor so I could see what my teeth were looking like. Maybe I didn't need to see my teeth so big and up close but now I know first hand that my old filling wasn't sealed properly.
Thanks for being open 7 days a week. It really helps when you have a busy schedule like mine.
Open 7 Days a Week, WOW – Everyone is wonderful at Family Dental. I have a dreadful fear of dentist offices but since I have been coming to Family Dental that has improved tremendously! I always tell my friends and colleagues how wonderful the dentist treats me! I refer to you when ever I can! See you soon!
GO TO THIS DENTAL OFFICE!! – I'm horrible about taking care of my teeth and I was in so much pain this weekend. I frantically called around looking for dental offices that were open. Thank goodness family dental was open and they were able to fit me in right away. I can't believe they are opened 7 days a week. The girl on the phone was so sweet and understanding about the situation I was in. The Dr. that examined me was great also. I'm usually afraid of dentists but this dr. made me feel comfortable and was really gentle. She relieved my pain and I'm so glad I found this office. I would definitely recommend everyone to go to this office.
This office is open 7 days a week – I have been going here for over 5 years now. They always keep their office up to date. Their doctors are very knowledgable and always explain everything very well. They are able to show me my cavities with large digital xray pictures. Even though I'm not a dentist even I can see the holes in my teeth on these large pictures. They are open 7 days a week. It is great to have a dentist that is open these hours. I remember when my old dentist was only open from 4 days a week. I always seemed to have a problem when he was not open. I highly recommend this office.
21st Century Dentist – Family Dental is incredible. I went for my regular cleaning and they used this cool laser device called a Diagnodent. With this laser they were able to diagnose cavities long before they would have turned into root canals or extractions. The dentist was explaining to me that our teeth are a lot harder because of fluoride and it is a lot harder to diagnose cavities the old way. This laser device can somehow bounce light into the tooth and find these cavities when they are smaller and have not ruined the whole tooth. If your dentist doesn?t have one of these you have to show them this info.
The next cool thing they showed me was the small camera that fits in the mouth, which magnifies the teeth something like 20 times. They were able to show me cracks in my teeth, which was proof that I needed a crown to keep the tooth from breaking apart.
Then if this wasn?t enough they used some kind of digital xray that again increased the magnification in order to see the cavities long before you could see them the old fashioned way. I remember my old dentist pointing to some dot on a little tiny postage stamp xray and all I could say was ya I guess I can see it. With this digital system they are able to really show me the cavity.
This office really brings dentistry into the 21st century.
Service with a smile. – Several of my coworkers have recommended this dental office. I have always hated going to the dentist because of a horrible experience I had as a child. My insurance finally kicked in at work so I decided call in for a checkup. They were able to get me in on a Sunday. I didn't even know dentists were open on SUNDAYS!!!!
On the day before my appointment i got a reminder call, good thing cuz i almost forgot. They gave me directions to the office. Parking was a little bit tight, fortunately I got the last space. The girls up front greeted me with a smile which is new. Most of the time they just open up a small window and shove some paperwork at you. I was seated within 10 mins and pleasantly surprised at the interior of the office. That place is huge. My dentist and assistant were both very professional and listened to my issues. Told them my scarey dental history and we all got a good laugh. They promised that it would be different there. They used a little camera that took a bunch of pictures of some of the old fillings I had from when i was a kid. She showed me how a few of them had dark areas, what they meant and why they recommended replacing them. I must say that this is the best experience I have ever had at a dental office. They really care and left it up to me if I wanted to take care of a few fillings. The front desk people explained my how much i have to pay and how much the insurance will be covering. Not sure how they were able to do that so quickly on a weekend but they explained that they have about 100 other employees also from my company. I have an appointment scheduled next week to start with a few of them. I'll keep everyone posted to see how they go.
painful root canal that last 6 months – Bad experience!!! I have a root canal retreated 1 years ago. first of all, doctor took over 2 hours and twice. after that it hurted me so bad for 6 months and I ended up still have the tooth pulled. The doctor is so inexperienced here. I should have just the tooth pulled and be over in 5 mins. But somehow I was lead to believe that a retreatment is good and i suffered so much...... This place sux and they just want to make money of you for all the fancy things they have in the office. Most of the treatments done here are unecssary or excessive. They make patients suffer at patients' cost. Dont be a succker.
inconsistent care – I have been going to tis office for years. It is getting worse as I notice. I am used to see one doctor, now that I am seeing many new faces. Each time is a different doctors. They are not as honest as before, all of them take turn to "convince" me to do all sort of unnecessary treatment. I am kind of disappointed after having coming here for a few years. I am not used to these new faces and new changes. I think these guys are trying to milk me, they dont care about my teeth. They are all into their fancy office now more so than before. I am leaving tis office, its kinda hard after you are used to one dentist. But I think the management is moving away from being a family dentistry. its quite disappointing.
??? – I had a deep cleaning done here. the first doctor scratched and cut my gum by accident. I was having some pain. when I came in for them to take a look at it, I was seen by a different doctor. She told me that I have infection or some leisons that can be dangerous and cancerous if not checked. She terrified me and send me to see a periodontist. When I saw a periodontist, she said that it was only a scratch from scaling my teeth. I was rinsing with warm salt water like what the periodontist told me and everything clear up. I have to go through all these non-sense when all they need was to tell me that it was an accident . I start to think that those guys are idiots and can not tell a cut from cancer. They totally missed diagnosied me and billed my twice also.
consider yourelf being warmed – This office will succk you dry. when I called to make an appointment, they told me we accept your insurance and everything is good just come on in. After I had some work done here, I receive a bill that will take me over 6 months to pay off. Their inital estimation is way off. I was kind of upset, so I did a little bit of research. I call my insurance company and find out that none of the dentists here are network providers as they claim to be over the phone to get you in. The owner Dr Chan is also not a insurance network provider. After that, they will convince you to replace your old fillings. Then, they charge you on a fee that is a lot higher than the insurcane company accepted, when the insurance did not pay for most of them, they will pass the bill back to you. when they say they will "maximize" your benefit, they meant it, they will succk up all your insurance money in as little visit as possible plus sending you a bill. this is the basic scheme that this office is running. There are many shaddy dentists working with the owner to get you. It took me over 8 months to figure it out their scheme, including many phone calls to insurance company and their receptionists. On top of that, my new fillings make me so sensitive to cold now. I did not have any pain with my old fillings before. Consider yourself being warmed.

Scope and Customer Service - Bad
This review is from: BARSKA AC10328 Red Dot Scope
Pros: Nice looking scope
Cons: Junk
Other Thoughts: When it came shipped to me, the battery in the scope was dead. I thought that was odd until I put a new battery in and saw that the red dot never went away using up the battery continually. I have been trying to work with Barska's customer service but they are very slow to respond and setup an RMA - not what I expect from a Newegg affiliated company. I would stay away from this company and this scope.

I am an ovo-lacto vegetarian. My question is, what constitutes protein? Chobani fat free plain yogurt has 23 grams of protein and 9 grams of carbohydrates in 8 ounces. But yogurt is listed as a complex carbohydrate on BFL's food list. I also used to eat legumes, (black beans, lentils) which I thought were considered a protein source as well, but they are listed as complex carbs too. As a vegetarian, protein sources are limited, can you please settle this as I'm confused. Thank you!! Caroloot
I'm gluten and dairy free, I use Heartland Gold sprouted brown rice protein powder. It is a complete protein because it has been sprouted. I add it to apple juice for a protein shake. It's a bit grainy, but I got used to it, and has a mild flavour. There are other brands out there that I haven't tried yet, but as long as it is *sprouted* brown rice protein powder it will be a complete protein.
Thank you LLL for answering. I JUST now saw it!! I thought I marked to be emailed when I got a reply, but I must not have. It's funny what you just recommended because that's WHAT I JUST BOUGHT!!! :o) You're right, it is a bit grainy but I like the idea of how pure it is compared to all the whey powders that have all the other stuff in them. Thanks again! How many times a day do you drink it? You're not a vegetarian are you?
Hi caroloot
I have 2 shakes a day, sometimes 3 if I'm really busy. It's a really good product, it doesn't have any other ingredients other than rice, and it has 40% daily iron intake per serving, which is good if you don't eat a lot of meat.
The trick with it is to shake it and drink it right a ways. If you let it sit at all, it actually gets grainier.
No, I'm not a vegetarian, I just have a lot of dietary issues. I can't tolerate milk products very well. I am strictly gluten free too.
Gluten intolerance usually goes hand in hand with lactose intolerance too.
Do you take a multivitamin or other supplements?

A recent trend in high-end automobiles is to offer owners a watch as a sort of commemorative plaque or accessory to wear on their person. For instance, the AMVOX2 Transponder is merchandised by Aston Martin and Jaeger-LeCoultre and allows the owner of a DBS, DB9, or Rapide to unlock and lock their car with the press of the watch's face. Spyker offers a whole collection of luxury wristwatches that are designed to match the design attributes off its cars' interiors. Like the automobiles they represent, some of the watches can be very expensive. For example, the Parmigiani Bugatti Super Sport timepiece is priced at $259,000 and strives to represent the recently released Bugatti Veyron SS.
McLaren is jumping on this trend with the announcement that it has teamed up with Tag Heuer to offer the MP4-12C Chronograph, a limited-edition timepiece for the MP4-12C enthusiast. With a production limited to 1,000 units (the same number of cars McLaren hopes to produce its first year), the wristwatch will show up at participating McLaren dealerships in late 2011.

There was an article a year or so ago, perhaps Haggis linked to it here on the bulletin board, about how we've lost the ability to use ridicule as a weapon in this war. Our over-consciousness to sensitivity has left us incapable of using a powerful tool.
The article notes that, with the exception of The Onion's September 2001 article about Hijackers surprised to find themselves in Hell, published in the aftermath of the 9/11 attack, we have been unwilling to poke fun at the terrorists, out of fear either of offending Islam or out of fear of reprisals as in the Danish cartoon incident. Other than a handful of e-mail jokes that we snicker at in private and forward to people in our circle, we are unwilling to joke about the war or the terrorists, and that is a bad thing. It leaves the impression that we are more afraid of them than we have been of other threats in our past: Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, the Soviet Union, all have been ridiculed in cartoons, newspaper columns, and advertising, but not Islamic terrorists.
Are we now so afraid that we've lost our sense of humour? I think the car ad is clever. I'm sure they know they run the risk of offending some, even of losing some customer base as a result of it, but I assume they've weighed that risk.
As it stands, they'll probably get the advertising value as a result of the newspaper articles, even if the ad never airs. The ad will probably slip into the e-mail circuit, and will be able to be seen there. Political correctness will have won another round, and terror will have won another victory, proving that we are so terrified of them that we can't make fun at their expense.

Hey guys i would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to get arabic support on droid firmware 2.2 and is rooted.
thank you guys
much appreciation
Hey guys i would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to get arabic support on droid firmware 2.2 and is rooted.
thank you guys
much appreciation
I also want to enable Arabic on my device.
I have Verizon Droid 2. I rooted the device just few days ago using z4root by RayanZA method.
Any help would be apprecaited.
I too have a Droid 2 Global. I too have rooted my phone using Z4root and I, too, would like to figure out how to get it to read Arabic.
Arabic Android seems to be bringing some people success, although the website and marketplace app lack clear instructions for installation. It seems that Droid 2 may not yet be supported for his app, although a number of people seem to have gotten it working. I'm a little scared of all the negative comments on the marketplace - apparently the app is not well supported.
If you figure things out, let me know!
My wife got her Android Tablet Transformer with full Arabic Support from the Local Market.
I just need to know why I am unable to get Arabic Support on my Motorola Droid 2 after I was able to root it ?
Appreciate if someone can provide some guidance on how to enable Arabic on my device.
By the way, Arabic Characters show properly on the device, but the orientation and shaping is not correct, and this is making it very difficult to read any Arabic Sentence.
I managed to solve my Arabic issues, though it involved delving into the deeps of my android device. I replaced my OS with Cyanogenmod 7 (which recently started supporting DG2) and, as it turns out, Arabic is fully implemented. Cyanogenmod is essentially Anroid stripped of a bunch of bloatware and with a few new features. Supports tablets, too - highly reccomend.
Hi Argus,
Appreciate it if you could tell me how is it going with the Cyanogenmod 7 OS you installed on your device which has full Arabic Support?
Could you please give me more details about how to install this OS on my Motorola Droid 2?

— Win, lose or draw against the Detroit Lions today, the Philadelphia Eagles seem destined this season to produce so much more drama than usual on gameday.
What we can reasonably expect from this team, based on the exciting new identity its forging with its defense and an offense that's been forced into ball-control by wary opponents, is a lot more of what we've been seeing through the first five games: mostly low-scoring, limited-possession contests decided in the final minutes and often the final play.
Maybe a blowout or two is looming, but it would be the exception to the rule that is starting to set in for this team.
Gone are the days of the traditional Eagles wins, in which big early scoring plays forces opponents out of their scripts and into one-dimensional, catch-up mode that a defense built to pressure quarterbacks can exploit.
The last half of Donovan McNabb's and first half of Michael Vick's tenures as quarterbacks of this team were littered with those kinds of victories.
McNabb often was criticized for leading so few game-winning drives in the fourth quarter, but a big part of that was because he had so few opportunities compared to his peers. His team would almost always be comfortably ahead by the time the fourth quarter began in its wins and often more than one touchdown behind in the stretch drive of its losses.
They'd often take and convert deep shots down the field, ball-control be damned. They wanted to score as quickly and as often as possible. Their victories were not only lopsided in score but in time-of-possession differential as well — only with their opponents finishing with a huge, meaningless advantage.
That whole dynamic has flipped to the point where the Eagles have trailed in the fourth quarter of every game this season, yet have won three of five.
From 2008, the year they drafted wide receiver DeSean Jackson, through the end of last season, the Eagles averaged 31 points per game in their victories, winning by an average score of 31-16 in the process.
Their victories this year have been by scores of 17-16, 24-23 and 19-17. Their 19-17 win over the New York Giants on Sept. 30 came down the final play, as did their 16-14 loss at Pittsburgh last Sunday.
The math and the circumstances this team faces now point to so much more of the same as defenses continue to play soft, forcing the Eagles to go 12, 13, 14 plays to score instead of four, five and six, the way they used to. Their problems have been compounded due to pathetic special-teams play.
As the laws of average predict, there's more of a chance for something to go wrong when you have the ball for 14 straight plays than you do for five or six.
This is what's been happening with the Eagles, among other things.
Opening week: Michael Vick is intercepted on the ninth play of a first-quarter drive.
Week 2: Vick is intercepted on the game's ninth play of the first, perfectly scripted series.
Week 3: In an attempt to finish off an 11-play touchdown drive that would have cut Arizona's lead to 10 points on the last play of the first half, Vick loses the ball on a sack. The Cardinals' James Sanders recovers and takes it back all the way for a touchdown and a 24-0 halftime lead.
Many other times, the turnovers came early, but the big scoring plays are down. Only one of their touchdowns this season has been longer than 20 yards. Last year, they had four by this time. The year before that, six.
"Defenses are doing more things to stay deep," said wide receiver Jason Avant. "They know that if they can keep the ball in front of them, eventually they can bat the ball down, eventually somebody will miss a block, eventually somebody will miss a pass.
"And it's a harder game like that, but you have to prove that you can keep drives alive consistently so the defense can come up and you can get a play behind them."
Winning games this way is no less comfortable, offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg insists.

State police copter to patrol over West Michigan
Apr 5th, 2013 - Local News
— A state police helicopter will make routine patrols over Grand Rapids and surrounding communities as part of an effort to curb violent crime.
Lt. Chris McIntire, commander of the Rockford state police post, says the decision was in the works for some time, but a spike in violent crime at the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 pushed it forward.
McIntire said patrols are an extension of efforts discussed in February by U.S. Attorney Patrick Miles Jr. to stop violent crime.
The patrols started this week and will continue through June under the current plan, but may be extended. Previously, state police flew over West Michigan when requested or during special operations such as searches for marijuana growing operations.
Helicopters routinely patrol Detroit, Flint and Saginaw.

In Alabama, Legislature-bashing is darn near a spectator sport. It's so widely accepted that state lawmakers are just as apt, if not more so, to make boneheaded decisions as they are to support defensible policy that no one's jaw hits the table when the Legislature goes haywire.
As Alabamians, we expect the worst from Montgomery.
Thus, count us as surprised — shocked, really — that the underwhelming Alabama Legislature did not make the top 10 list of the worst state legislatures of the year, as determined this week by Mother Jones magazine.
Turns out, Alabama's legislative craziness was restricted just enough for that magazine to keep our august body off this list. Recall that the Republican-controlled Legislature took a few interesting steps in 2012. It banned texting while driving. It repealed lawmakers' controversial 2007 pay raises. Its crusade to trim state government to the size of a peanut rolled on. And it made a few modest changes to the state's illegal-immigration law. (More on that later.)
Guess those actions, and others, were good enough for Mother Jones.
Nevertheless, we'd like to remind the magazine's editors that this is the same Legislature that approved balanced state budgets that weren't balanced when they were voted on. Ah, yes, the Legislature passed a budget that would cover the state's expenses only if voters OK'd raiding a state trust fund months later, which they did in September.
In some states, that would be a sign of cowardly politicians pushing off their elected duty on the citizenry.
In this state, that passes for leadership.
Apparently, some of the worst parts of the Legislature's recent past didn't haunt it in this 2012 evaluation. The aforementioned immigration law — a mean-spirited, xenophobic law worthy of repeal — was passed the year before. The state's continual refusal to embrace worthwhile tax reform is a sign of an endemic failure, not a 2012-only misstep. And crafting a new state Constitution, still a high priority, isn't going to happen now that lawmakers have decided on a slower, bit-by-bit approach.
In other words, Alabama wasn't weird enough in 2012.
It wasn't Tennessee, which, the magazine wrote, "passed a bill in April (later vetoed) to provide cover for teachers who question evolution and climate change in their classrooms, along with legislation that classified miscarriages as murder, and a bill cracking down on saggy pants."
It wasn't Oklahoma, where, Mother Jones wrote, "(A)n anti-gay (among other things) pastor was invited to address the Legislature, and promptly called 9/11 a warning from God and bashed the notion that 'kids across the nation are taught they are advanced mutations of a baboon.'"
And it wasn't New Hampshire, where "after the state passed a bill allowing lawmakers to carry concealed weapons in the statehouse, GOP state Rep. Kyle Tasker dropped his gun on the floor of the Capitol during a hearing of the — not making this up — public safety committee," the magazine said.
Lampooning the Alabama Legislature is too easy; the details are too damning. But for once, it seems our lawmakers weren't crazy enough. Go figure.

Delicious pizza
The big difference between good pizza and great pizza is all in the ingredients. Monalisa definitely knows how to keep things fresh and great.
My favorite cafe in Brooklyn!
We stop by Mona Lisa cafe for pizza and dessert at least once a week. Our favorite appetizers are the fried calamari and. For dinner I usually get a personal Margrita pizza, then I have to get a cannoli. Honestly, I think Mona Lisa has the best Pizza in Brooklyn. it's totally worth the wait for 15 minutes because its made fresh, make sure you try cannolis too its amazing!
very good stuff – very great-tasting desserts here, very consistent quality, friendly staff, good atmosphere
A rare & wonderful experience for Brkln – The six of us wet there for our 25th HS reunion. We had a wonderful time. I'll start about the ice-cream, althoug we had it at the end. Smooth & creamy with what seemed like a natural flavor. It's heaven...and the selection is overwelming. Hot sandwiches were tasty, gourmet, modest on meat, thoug. You can taste that the pizza crust is something else with that brick-oven-baked flavor. Deserts are a heaven for your eyes with all different colors from fruit topped to chocolate, tiramisu, cheese cake...and then some... for your taste buds. They (surprisingly) have a full bar so we each tried a different drink. The live music provided by a well-seasoned singer was the reason we stayed there for so long. He sung such variety to touch almost everyone, while backing himself up by playing a keyboard that produces so many rich sounds. The guy did Sinatra, Elvis, Tom Jones, Engelbert etc, while also singing in Italian (Italian favorites), in Spanish and playing a few Russian tunes. His smooth entertaining did not overpower our chatting & laughing but made us feel very cozy. He occasionaly made friendly comments, introducing songs which made us feel that we were a part of a live performance and not just listening to some boring, background music from a house CD player. The youthful staff seem to really try to please us. Their smiles were friendly while running to cater to everyone. All in all, we highly recomend it. It's a rare, beautiful experience for Brooklyn and the rest...
I LOOOVE this place! – My girlfriend and I literally eat at this restaurant at least twice a week. The food is excellent! The servers are always pritty nice The varity of food options makes me want to go there every time I want to eat out, from pizza to veal and chicken dishes not to mention the gelato and deserts it is the best in brooklyn, I always make sure to go there at least one of the nights that they have the live music, it is normally every Friday, Sat, and Sun. The outside cafe is amazing when you set there you see all the people driving by slow down to look at this place, I always recommend this place to ALL my friends they all thank me when they go there. This is my favorite restaurant!
A taste of New York while living down south – Living in Charlotte, NC makes me long for the cakes and cookies from Mona Lisa. I ordered cakes and cookies for Easter from Mona Lisa and was amazed at the packing and how every thing arrived in one piece. Every thing tasted like I was at the cafe in Brooklyn. It was so good I ordered another cake 2 days after easter.
If your in Brooklyn you must stop by. If you live any where in the USA, order on line. You will be happy with what ever you order.
Italy in Brooklyn – If you want to go to Italy without spending tons of money, you should go to Mona Lisa Cafe on 86th St. The decor is beautiful and it makes you feel like you are in Italy.
My wife and I were visiting a friend in Brooklyn that recommends the place for us. We went there and we ordered Large Pizza with Sausage and one of their Panini sandwiches. The portion of the food was large and the taste of the food was out of this world.
Then we ordered 2 Cappuccinos, and desert. I ordered the Lobster tail with French cream and my wife ordered Fruit tart.
They served the Cappuccino in a mug so big that looks like a bowl not a mug, you definitely got your moneys worth.
I will just say that the French cream was the best cream I have ever tasted in my life; I had to order 4 to take home with me.
The service was excellent, pleasant, and very fast. I will defiantly go there not only when I am in Brooklyn but I will make the trip just to eat there again. I wish there is a place like this in NJ.
UNBELIEVABLE WEDDING CAKE!!!! – Unbelievable Wedding cake!
I got married last September and my guests are still talking about my wedding cake! First of all let me start by saying that it was an incredibly easy experience, the pastry chef went out of his way to make sure that my wedding cake came out exactly how I always imaged it would. I got the chance to try all of the different fillings, and when I couldn?t make a decision because they were all equally delicious he created a cake for me with multiple layers consisting of different fillings. You often hear of cakes that are beautiful but unfortunately don?t have any taste, well let me tell you this was not the case!!! MY CAKE WAS NOT ONLY INCREADIBLY BEAUTIFUL BUT IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS CAKES THAT I HAVE EVER EATEN. Further more I have also had the pleasure of eating at Mona Lisa and found that the food was great and it was accompanied by nice and relaxing atmosphere. I think it?s a great place to not only get your pastries from but to enjoy your evening out at.
The Most Beautiful Wedding Cakes – My wedding was a few months ago and i went to Mona Lisa to get my cake. The cakes on display in the store and in the photographs were absolutely gorgeous. they were elegant and had just the right touch. The pastry chef himself was wonderful and guided me through the process of choosing a cake that was beautiful on the outside and delicious on the inside. He provided me with various pictures, each with different color schemes and decorations, form fresh roses to pearls and chocolate. My wedding cake was simply magical and everyone ranted and raved over it. My sister recently went back for her daughter's 1st birthday cake, a pink and purple decorated cake with a picture of my niece on it, it was simply enchanted. My cousin loved the cakes at our parties so much that she went back for her son's communion cake. They made the cake into a bible with the color schemes of gold and beige finished with the a sparkling touch. I have never seen such beautiful and elegant cakes!
awesome pasteries! – I go to Mona Lisa at least twice a weak just to buy cheese cones and canolis. I have never tasted such great cheese cones: a caramelized shell filled with a creamy cheesecake mixture. And the canolis are always fresh and appetizing. the place is spotless, i have never seen it dirty. the servers are always pleasant. The bread is also delicious. There are so many different kinds, even whole wheat.
