Eagles Return to Primetime Football Versus the Steelers
Aug 18, 2011, 6:44 PM EDT
Prior to last week's preseason opener versus the Ravens, I cautioned readers not to get too excited about the game, one of the chief reasons being the Eagles would utilize a "vanilla" offensive strategy. As much as it pains me to do so, we need to issue a retraction on that statement.
No offense being run by Michael Vick could possibly be termed vanilla.
The Eagles played their starters for just one series against Baltimore, and Vick marched them straight into the end zone. It didn't seem to matter much what kind of plays were called, or even that the offense was without DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. They went right down the field with a series of big plays and accurate passes. It was very satisfying to watch.
With DeSean Jackson back in the lineup for tonight's meeting against the Steelers, we are hoping for more of the same.
They are faced with a slightly greater challenge tonight though as they face off against last year's AFC Champions on their home turf. Vick, in particular, has a lot to prove tonight versus the greatest zone blitzing team of this era. That's right: Mike Vick is going on the watch-list.
It will be interesting to see how much blitzing the Steelers actually do in an exhibition game, but where Vick is at in his ability to read and react to defensive pressure is one of–if not the biggest–keys to this season. We need to see if he can identify where the pass rush is coming from, and whether he knows where the ball goes and if he can get out quickly enough to beat the blitz.
The offensive line took a ton of heat last season, and the right side in particular was not great, but a big problem was Vick holding on to the ball too long and not feeling the pressure. For all the big additions the Eagles have made, if their quarterback doesn't improve and take the next step in that aspect of running the offense, we're not sure how far they will ultimately go.
Tonight's player to keep an eye on:
King Dunlap
Last week, we had Ryan Harris on our watch-list, but he's out tonight with a back injury. First of all, Harris was not super impressive against the Ravens, so the job is still very much up for grabs. Second, Harris had a history of back problems in Denver, so he could be falling out of favor very quickly.
We'll see if Dunlap can seize the opportunity. He showed some improvement in relief efforts last season, but was far from the stabilizing force the Eagles are searching for on the right side. Offensive line coach Howard Mudd also typically favors smaller linemen for zone blocking system, which works against the 6-9, 330 lbs. Dunlap. He could help himself out quite a bit though with a solid outing against one of the NFL's best defenses at pressuring passers.
Darryl Tapp
Major props to Jim Washburn and every member of the defensive line last week. From the opening snap until the final gun, their unit was by far the best on the field, showing tenacity and getting consistent penetration. The difference between last Thursday and the past several years was remarkable.
A big part of that was Tapp, who in one preseason game nearly matched his sack total for all of last season. The Birds sent DE Chris Clemons to Seattle last year in exchange for Tapp, and while Clemons amassed 11 sacks in 2010, Tapp accounted for merely three. The Virginia Tech product is off to a torrid start in August though, getting to Ravens QB's twice last week, as well as three tackles, one for a huge loss.
Maybe guys like Tapp and Jason Babin will prove the problem here the past two seasons was coaching and schemes all along.
Casey Matthews
For the second straight week, Matthews makes our watch list, which says something how important his development is to the defense. We also didn't see much of the rookie from Oregon last week, just eight snaps in fact, so another reason is we're still waiting to actually see him. However, Bleeding Green Nation put together a nice round-up of reviews on Matthews' brief performance, and it was mostly positive stuff, including CSN's own Ray Didinger.
Having said that, eight plays is about the smallest sample size there is, so we'll hold off on the excitement for at least one more post.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A heavy band of snow continues to move through the Charlotte area at this hour.
At 10:45 a.m. it was snowing in south Charlotte, western and northwestern Union County and most of York County. The snow is moving to the southeast.
Temperatures are in the low 30s where the snow is falling.
"Later this afternoon there is enough cold air aloft that with another disturbance coming from Kentucky and Tennessee we could see a few more snow flurries," said First Warn Storm Team Chief Meterolgist Brad Panovich. "But it will be a little bit warmer this afternoon so some of the snow that falls may be a graupel as we call it or maybe a hail pellet. It will have a tough time sticking to the ground."
Several areas in and around Charlotte saw a quick burst of snow Saturday morning and in some places a half an inch of accumulation on the grass. But the sun is going to come out soon and melt any snow on the ground.
"Don't change your afternoon plans," Panovich said. "Temperatures are above the freezing mark and the roads are just wet."
Tonight it could be a different story as temperatures dip into the mid 20s. Any moisture could freeze overnight and black ice could be a concern in the morning.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Ashe, Avery and Watauga counties through 6:00 p.m. Saturday.
Temperatures will struggle to climb back into the low 40s under cloudy skies. We'll see scattered mountain snow showers and continue the 40% chance of snow flurries or rain showers out across the Piedmont, mainly through the late afternoon, said Meghan Danahey of the First Warn Storm Team.
(Download the free Charlotte Weather app to track temperatures in your neighborhood)
By Sunday the disturbance moves off the coast.
The chance for snow flurries drops back to 20 percent early Sunday and lows fall back into the upper 20s.
Highs on Sunday will be in the cold--low 40s. Lows fall back into the low 20s Monday morning.
The cold weather sticks around all next week with a better chance for snow flurries Tuesday into Wednesday.
Next week's storm system is currently over the Pacific Ocean.
"Which means we don't have the greatest data going into our numerical weather models right now. Remember, there is limited to no surface or upper air stations over the vast areas of the oceans. So the sampling of this storm is not very good right now, which should always be a word of caution when forecasting a storm. That changes this weekend when it arrives on the West Coast," First Warn Storm Team Chief Meteorologist Brad Panovich explained.
Then things start to get interesting as the 500mb low and vorticity crank up and move southeast into the trough on the East Coast.
By the time it gets to the Carolinas it has both some cold air and plenty of moisture to work with.
"The interesting thing about this storm is the strong indications on the GFS model and even the ECMWF model of a deformation zone forming," Panovich said. "These zones are areas of intense lift and cooling that usually means heavy snow banding."
This is the 700mb vertical velocities or lift along with moisture at that level. The 700mb level is your ideal snow growth region.
How much snow we could get from next week's system is hard to predict.
"This far out it's really hard to say because the track could move just 50-100 miles and make all the difference in the world," Panovich said. "I suspect we will see this start as a rain snow mix and change back to snow. The real chances of a significant storm would hinge on the placement of that 700mb deformation zone. That would form on the northwest side of the low track."
The GFS model output for snow looks like this.
"I'm not sold completely yet on this storm due to the lack of good model data to this point," Panovich said. "The pattern is there so a storm is likely. The location and track though is currently in doubt. This could crank up after it moves through and we see nothing. Yet the one thing that is also worth noting is the intense blocking going on in the North Atlantic. This blocking can really lead to big east coast storms, but it also plays havoc with the model data. The numerical models have a tough time resolving storms in this type of pattern. So for now I'm leaning towards a rain/snow mix with little accumulations. I suspect this could be more of a Mid-Atlantic storm, VA/MD/DE storm than a NC storm. I will have a much better idea and feel much more confident this weekend once the storm is over the West Coast."

Bluewings after more FA Cup glory
Lee Yong-rae scored early to send Korean FA Cup holders Suwon Bluewings through to the semi-finals of this year's competition with a 1-0 win against Chunnam Dragons.
With the Bluewings struggling in mid-table in the K-League, cup success represents their best home of success and qualification for the 2012 AFC Champions League.
Lee's strike made the difference, as he fired home a long-range shot after 25 minutes of the match at Suwon World Cup Stadium.
Defending AFC Champions League holders Seongnam Ilhwa defeated Busan I'Park 2-1, with Dzenan Radoncic returning from injury to score the winner in the last minute. Han Sang-woon of Busan had cancelled out an early strike by Heverton.
Pohang Steelers beat K-League champions FC Seoul 4-2 after extra-time. Goals from Derek Asamoah, Mota and Noh Byung-joon, who scored twice in the additional 30 minutes, proved too much for the visitors whose second-half efforts came from Dejan Damjanovic and Mauricio Molina.
Lee Sul-gi was the hero with a hat-trick for Ulsan Horang-I as they completed the last four line-up with a 3-0 win at home against Gangwon FC.

I know I'm not the best, I don't plan to be, but I do want to be good ^_^ If it matters, I'm a furry and a brony, but please don't classify me with the rather perverse part of the two. I'm a fan of the Halo Series, Fallout, Stargate, and alot of other stuff. Hope I make some friends here, Shuttle Fire out!
Edit: I didn't realise this until after, but I put Mange tutorials >w< Sorry :/

Saturday in the 4th Week of Lent
you are nice.
Be nice and help us love.
I think this get's to the essence of what the old ICEL "translators" gleaned from the Latin originals, don't you? After all, it expresses our need for the sacrament of niceness, which is the heart and soul of the old ICEL versions and the now cliché theology behind them. And don't forget to look into everyone's eyes at Mass, er… liturgy. As we were taught in seminary (and I am not making this up) when "community" goes forward for "bread" the sacrament takes place when you look into each other's eyes. Continue reading

Consider this: If Apple had been added to the Dow in June 2009, the last time there were serious rumors that it would happen, the average would be about 2,500 points higher than it is today and well above its all-time high.
U.S. stocks rose on Thursday after the government said weekly jobless claims edged down. The lower jobless number suggests that employers may accelerate hiring this month.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits ticked down last week after dropping sharply the previous week, evidence hiring could pick up this month. Weekly applications dropped 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 367,000 in the week ending May 5, the Labor Department said Thursday. The previous week's figure was revised up slightly.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates for 30-year and 15-year fixed mortgages fell to fresh record lows this week. Cheap mortgage rates have made home-buying and refinancing more affordable than ever for those who can qualify. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on the 30-year loan ticked down to 3.83 percent. That's the lowest since long-term mortgages began in the 1950s. And it's below the previous record rate of 3.84 percent reached last week.
NEW YORK (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says that many businesses and consumers are finding it easier to borrow as banks shore up their balance sheets. But he says many creditworthy borrowers are finding it difficult to get mortgage loans. He says small businesses that have used their homes as collateral for loans also face "challenging" conditions.
NEW YORK (AP) — Beauty products maker Coty Inc. is raising its buyout offer for direct-seller Avon Products Inc. by about 6.5 percent to almost $10.7 billion, with help from billionaire investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Avon, whose brands include Skin-So-Soft, Anew and mark, said Thursday that Coty told it in a letter that it was raising its offer to $24.75 per share from $23.25 per share.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. trade deficit rose in March at the fastest rate in 10 months. A rise in consumer goods lifted imports to a record level, outpacing a solid gain in U.S. exports. The Commerce Department said Thursday that the trade gap widened to $51.8 billion in March, up from $45.4 billion in February. Imports rose 5.2 percent to a record $238.6 billion, reflecting more foreign oil, autos, cell phones and clothes.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — U.S. consumers have had their fill of expensive, contract-based phone plans. Figures from T-Mobile USA on Thursday, added to earlier reports from other companies, indicate that the U.S. wireless industry lost subscribers from contract-based plans for the first time in the first quarter. Contract-based plans are the most lucrative ones for phone companies. The industry default over the past several decades, they account for the vast majority of revenue at the big phone companies.
DETROIT (AP) — Ford Motor Co. has added 32,400 Windstar minivans to two safety recalls involving undercarriage parts that can rust and break. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on its website Thursday that Ford will recall 23,000 Windstars from Virginia to fix parts near the front wheels that can break and cause drivers to lose steering control.
BERLIN (AP) — Germany says it expects its tax income over the next few years to be slightly higher than previously predicted due to a healthy job market and rising personal incomes. The Finance Ministry said Thursday that tax experts predicted a total revenues of €596.5 billion ($773.5 billion) this year for Germany's federal, state and municipal governments. That's about €4.5 billion more than what they predicted last November.

Critically endangered Sumatran orangutans are facing another major threat to their habitat. Their rainforest homes are being rapidly replaced by agricultural developments, which makes simple survival for these gentle apes increasingly difficult. Food is getting harder to come by, and the continued loss of their forest sanctuaries has made orangutans more vulnerable to hunters and poachers than ever.
The Sumatran Orangutan Society works to protect, treat, and relocate these endangered apes to safer forest homes. Find out how you can help.
When scientists first saw images of the platypus, they thought it was a hoax. However, after platypuses were studied and classified, biologists discovered they were much more confounding than they had originally thought. Not only do platypuses lay eggs, but they also hunt for prey by poking their snouts around streambeds with closed eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouths.
Find out about the shocking method these unique creatures use to scour their aquatic ecosystems for food.
About 40% of Australian female koalas are now infertile due to an epidemic of chlamydia. We must intervene if we are to reverse the pattern that could lead these cuddly creatures to extinction.
Sign the petition asking Australia's Federal Environment Minister to elevate koalas to endangered status and ensure they receive the resources necessary to avert this catastrophe.

Excellent! Very enjoyable to read. You're a very good artist/writer and the composition is superb as well.
The only thing I noticed is that at times your lines seem a bit thin/wobbly - easy enough to fix, but a pain in the ass I suppose :P
Great work, keep it up =)

"Laundry," he said. "If you are an athlete, they will actually wash all of your workout clothes during the season, which I think is a huge perk."
But, still he plays. Like many others in a program that Athletic Director Betsy Mitchell views as part of the classroom, he plays without shame or remorse.
"It's not embarrassing," he said. "I'm trying. I'm putting myself out there. I'm learning about myself with every game. How is that embarrassing?"
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
He batted only .177 last season with one extra-base hit and one RBI. But in Friday afternoon's loss to Oregon Tech, he made two diving stops at third base, wondrous moments he compares to solving equations that might one day send people to Mars.
"Four years ago, I don't make those plays," he said. "Sports is my hardest class."
He likes to play so much, he quit basketball to focus on baseball even though, at the start of this season, dating back to high school, he had gone five full baseball seasons without a win.
"We have always talked to him about how learning to deal with failure is an important part of success," said his father, Mitch Freedman. "We never talk about the score of the games."
The Beavers' first-year baseball coach, Matthew Mark, offers the same message: "I tell the players to use the game as an escape, don't think about the physics project, don't think about homework, just come out and have fun and learn."
So Freedman plays, and he loses, and loses some more, but then a miracle happens. Two years ago, he was on the basketball court that was rushed by fans that included a Nobel Prize winner when the team beat Occidental. And last weekend, he was on the field for the final out of a seven-inning, second-game-of-a-doubleheader win so unthinkable the players had no idea how to celebrate.
"It was so strange. We weren't expecting it," he said. "We all just sort of came into the dugout."
Mark informed them of the milestone, then honored it by giving each of the team's five seniors a game ball. Freedman keeps it in his locker and stares at it every day as a reminder of why he continues to play.
It's unsigned. It's scuffed with dirt. It's stained by grass. It's the most important of baseballs, yet it's still just a baseball. Imagine that.

Fantagraphics, 2006 - 54 pagine
A vicious satire of pop culture and the commerce of art in a newedition, with a new cover and intro by Clowes! This hilarious classic from DanClowes is a brutal and scathing peek into the insular, pathetic worldof the comic book industry, as seen through the eyes of antihero DanPussey (pronounced "Pooh-say"), creator of the smash superhero comic"Nauseator." From cradle to grave, Clowes presents the complete saga ofYoung Dan Pussey, mercilessly skewering the business and medium ofcomics, bouncing from art to commerce to culture high and low. Clowesnot only parodies the superhero genre (notably Stan "The Man" Lee), butalso his own peers, from his publishers and fellow authors atFantagraphics to artistic heavyweights like Art Spiegelman (seen hereas "Gummo Bubbleman"). Through it all, Pussey dreams endlessly abouthaving sex with a woman, but even those fantasies degenerate intosuperhero scenarios.

Keeping social media social
You may have recently heard about GM's decision to scale back its Facebook marketing strategy.
At first blush, their decision seem to question the overall effectiveness of social media as a marketing tool. However, a deeper look into GM's Facebook postings reveals a company whose strategy takes the "social" aspect out of social media by pushing content instead of engaging with customers on a meaningful level.
This Adage article offers a biting critique of GM's approach, and provides food for thought on how not to use social media.

Leading the way in demand generation.
In working with dozens of tech companies in the B2B space over the last 25 years, we've noticed that the sales process varies little from company to company. Marketing's job is to help generate leads. Then the sales team's role is to act on those leads and close sales.
What often gets neglected is how closely those two entities communicate throughout the process to ensure the highest level of success.
This article by TechTarget offers 5 essential tips in helping your lead generation programs be more successful in generating the best leads for your sales team. The article is free, and well worth your time.

Be patient. Be persistent. Be successful.
In these uncertain economic times, it's no wonder that companies are making IT purchasing decisions more carefully, and more slowly. In most cases, the time they identify a need to when a solution is installed and/or implemented can easily be months or years.
B2B marketing campaigns need to take this long sales and nurturing process into account, and employ a wide variety of inbound and outbound campaigns to connect with their audience on an ongoing basis. So when their time is right, you're part of their consideration.
Marketo.com recently published an insightful blog regarding B2B campaigns. Specifically, they cover how many inbound B2B tactics can be greatly enhanced through marketing automation—along with traditional outbound initiatives—to improve a campaign's performance. Check it out!

Giving to receive
It's amazing how a simple giveaway can generate interest. For instance, have you ever been to a sporting event and seen the reaction of fans as t-shirts are flung into the stands? Giving gifts and prizes is a great way to receive interest from customers and prospects. Yet, many marketers overlook, dismiss for forget about the power of giveaways in their marketing initiatives.
At Publicis Boise, we've successfully implemented numerous programs over the years that offer incentives for response, replies, action or participation to increase the overall effectiveness of each campaign. Access the case study below to see one example.

The social aspect of marketing
More and more, customers are accessing online resources to make their purchasing decisions. Whether it's an IT manager at a Fortune 100 company or a parent looking for the next family laptop, their decision-making process often begins and ends online.
For marketers, it's important to ensure accurate content is readily available. TechTarget, one of the technology industry's leading resources for research and data, recently posted a fascinating study that provides an overview of the decision-making process IT buyers and consumers go through. As you'll see, your online marketing and social media activities—or lack of—can make a significant difference in that process.
The study content is free, but does require a quick registration.
Access the study
As marketing experts with a particular passion for technology and consumer electronics industries, the Publicis Boise team is constantly on the lookout for the latest news and trends to keep our thinking fresh, our clients motivated and our campaigns successful.
Check back frequently for news and insights from our team!

We call these our "Passion Programs" because they give us a unique opportunity to stretch our creative thinking, and work with new and innovative people in our community who have a passion for taking risks and growing their business.

Location: Patrick's Point State Park/Agate Beach
Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies responded to Agate Beach Sunday afternoon after receiving a report that a woman was stranded on the nearby unstable bluffs. At about 2:30 p.m., personnel with the California State Parks requested assistance with the cliff rescue. Eight members of the all-volunteer Sheriff's Posse responded to the beach and were able to get a harness and rope on the woman. The U.S. Coast Guard launched a helicopter to assist, however, they were limited by foggy conditions. Meanwhile, personnel from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) secured a "Z-rig" to pull the victim up the cliff-face. At the top of the cliff, an inmate fire crew worked to widen the trail for the trucks. The victim was safely brought to the top of the cliff. State Parks personnel then drove her to her car. The victim was identified as Rochelle Machado, 19 of McKinleyville. Machado was cold and complained of pain in her ankle.

Thanks to its stellar performance and affordable price, the Nexus 7 is the Android tablet to get.
The Geeksphone Blackphone promises to deliver high phone security with an accessible interface.
Pricing not available
Apple's new $799 Mac Mini demands that you abandon disc-based media, and that you surround it with potentially expensive extra hardware to realize its full benefits. It makes most sense for committed Mac users, those who need it for a specific niche-case, or for those who value design over functionality for the dollar.
BlackBerry's Messenger app will also wend its way to the new Nokia X platform.
Google is looking to expand its Nexus range with a premium 8-inch version, according to a new report.
New details emerge about the long-rumored Amazon smartphone that could finally arrive this summer.
The new Apple AirPort Express Base Station is a decent upgrade to the previous generation, but it doesn't have much beyond its supersleek looks to impress us when compared with its peers.
The phone maker hints that the successor to its flagship smartphone could be unveiled in just a few months -- and it will still be low-cost.
A much-needed update to its internal components makes HP's Envy 14 one of the best high-end laptops for those looking for a PC with the flair of a MacBook.
The new 2TB Time Capsule brings improved price competitiveness and faster networking performance to Apple's Wi-Fi router/NAS drive combo device, which will satisfy consumers in need of a multipurpose networking device.

Reputation FAQ
This was originally made by SugoiNaruto162, so credit goes to her.
How can I see how many reputation points I have?
There are four ways:
1. The number of green or red bars next to your posts.
2. The message you see displayed when you place your mouse over the light bars.
3. Click your own "give reputation" icon.
How do I give someone reputation?
On every post, there is a scale icon beneath one's avatar and personal information. This is the reputation button.
Click it on the post you wish to leave reputation for, select either "Approve" (positive reputation) or "Disapprove" (negitive reputation) and, if you wish, leave a message. Then click "Add to reputation" to complete the process.
What is reputation?
A system designed to rate the posts and actions of other members.
What does reputation do?
Besides identifying someone as a good member or a bad member, not much.
How do I see the reputations I've been left?
In the userCP, under latest reputation recieved.
How can I figure out who gave me a reputation comment?
Unless you're a mod, or a Super Moderator or an admin checks your profile for you, there is no way to be certain. The only other way to know is if they leave their name in the rep, or you can figure it out by the comment they left.
What do the colors in the reputation recieved window signify?
Negative Rep: You lose points.
Null Rep: Member who repped you doesn't meet the requirements to give rep away. Your points stay the same.
Positive Rep: You gain points.
For every year that your a registered member, you get one point of reputation power.
For every 1,000 posts you get one point of reputation power.
For every 100 points of rep you get one point of reputation power, you must have at least 50 posts for your rep to count (when giving it to others).
You must have 10 rep for your rep to count (when giving it to others, and that means if you have negitive rep, it wont count).
You can only give 10 reps per day and you must rep 10 people before you can rep the same person again.

Re: Reputation FAQ
A couple of other notes:
Those with negative reputation cannot give reputation to others. It results in a null.
When giving a negative reputation, your rep power is cut in half. So that means that if you give, say, 10 positive rep points, were you to give someone a negative rep, you would only do -5 points of damage to their rep points.

RPS Server game nights: What would YOU like?
As usual I am being an awful server admin and never attending games, but my current CRT monitor makes Tribes a horrid headache of blur (although Adam Smith has tempted me with evil) and Dark Souls, as bad a port as it is, has grabbed me by the balls and wont let go.
Regardless of these shortcomings of badness that is me, noticing that the server is now kind of rolling along by itself so to speak so I'm not panicking and being worried that the server is an underpopulated graveyard I've been thinking again about how to structure the games played on it.
Since CTF Blitz has been implemented and seems to be relatively well received by server goers (it seems?) I want to rotate it into the played games for each week, however its possibly best not to have it constantly as that may make it samey before it has a chance to flourish. Not to bog things down I was thinking about cutting the regular Friday CTF out and replacing it with Blitz and C&H on alternating weeks (still objective based games not heavily focused on people aiming and shooting) while Mutant Rabbit and Arena will alternate on Wednesdays (modes focused on shooting people a lot). The SUNDAY SHAZBOT will remain untouched as thats the main pull event for the week(?)
Alternatively I could change the Sunday game to accommodate the new mode, but not sure if Friday would be the best day for the CTF focus for the week. Alternately I leave things the way they are with rabbit, Arena and C&H on Wednesday and then running with the two other CTF nights as usual.
So, what do people think?

I don't believe him.
My house has a small front yard, massive side yard, and quaint back yard. Every few weeks I call Jon and tell them they are all his. He comes, he mows, and still claims that he loves it.
I don't believe him.
One of these weeks I'm expecting him to cave in, to admit he's lying, to tell me that he only claimed to love mowing lawns to impress women that was in our conversation. Yes, that's where he made this claim. He came over for a party, and while talking to me and another girl, scolded me. He was ashamed of my lawn, and volunteered for duty, because he loves mowing lawns.
I just don't buy it.
My plan is to keep calling, keep making this offer "Still love mowing lawns? If you do, my lawn is at your service" Not all the time, just every few weeks. Lull him into submission, catch him off guard, wait for enough time to pass that he'll forget that he claims he loves mowing lawns.
Even though mowing lawns, which he claims to love, would be its own reward, I find it only fitting to use my extra time making him a thank you treat, fresh lemonade, ice cold water.....
Actually, he might be in it for the treats........
These donuts are a twist off the pina colada donuts I made last week. I decided to go again, and add some lime cream filling. Yes, I love the taste, but I also love the added soundtrack "She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up."
Enjoy! And if you're starting to think ahead to memorial day weekend bbq's check out my ice cream recipes! Your friends will love it!
Lime in the Coconut Donuts
for the donut:
1/2 ounce packages yeast
1/4 cup hot water, roughly 110 degrees in temperature
1 1/2 cups milk, scalded and cooled
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup shortening
5 cups all-purpose flour
canola oil
Lime Mousse
1/2 cup pure lime cocktail syrup
4 large egg yolks
1 package unflavored gelatin
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
Pina Colada Frosting
1/3 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
3/4 cup pineapple coconut juice blend
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
flaked coconut to garnish
Dissolve yeast in warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Add milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening and 2 cups flour. Beat on low for 30 seconds, scraping bowl frequently to incorporate. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in remaining flour until smooth.
Cover and let rise until double, 50-60 minutes.
In the meantime, begin to make the lime mousse.
Bring lime syrup to a boil then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks and pour a little bit of the lime syrup in while whisking (this is to temper your egg yolks so they don't curdle). Add warmed egg yolks to hot lime syrup until well mixed.
Measure 1/4 cup of whipping cream in a bowl and sprinkle it with the gelatin. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Place the bowl in a microwave for 45 seconds (microwave for 10 seconds at a time and check it in between) or place the bowl in a pan of barely simmering water, stir to ensure the gelatin has completely dissolved.
Whisk the gelatin/whipping cream mixture into the lime syrup mixture and set aside. Whisk occasionally for approximately an hour or until the mixture has the consistency of an unbeaten raw egg white.
Whip the remaining cream. Stir 1/4 of the whipped cream into the lime syrup mixture. Fold in the remaining cream and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Return to making the donuts. Turn dough onto floured surface; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll dough 1/2-inch thick with floured rolling pin. Cut into solid rounds.
Cover and let rise until double, 30-40 minutes. At 25 minutes, begin to heat vegetable oil in high-sided stock pot to 350°.
When the vegetable oil is ready, slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide wooden slotted spatula. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove carefully from oil and drain well.
Make the coconut frosting. make the Pina Colada/coconut frosting. Heat butter over low heat until it is melted. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar until smooth. This will take a little arm work! Stir in tablespoons of pineapple coconut syrup one at a time, until desired consistency. Add in rum extract. Set aside until ready to glaze. Warm the glaze gently if necessary.
Take each donut and insert a butter knife into the donut. Carefully cut the inside to loosen any stuck dough and create a pocket. Remove the mousse from the fridge, and put into a piping bag, and pipe into donut. Repeat on all donuts.
Dip the donuts in the Pina Colada glaze and set on rack. Sprinkle glazed donuts with flaked coconut or dip in sprinkles or other toppings to garnish.
Enjoy! I know we sure did!

The 20th anniversary of her outdoor 800m world record is next month. PRAGUE POST article, entitled "Wonder Woman."
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
"wonder..... 'what' " ?
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
Has she born children? If she's born children and they have the right number of fingers and toes, then she's all right by me. She was no less buff than Mutola or Gaines, and we don't have any problem with their times.
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
I've stood next her many times. Totally different than those two. Steve was correct. Read the article, if it's the one blacklily posted on iaaf I believe it says she retired because of serious health issues. Wonder why that would be? She also says she trained harder than athlete's do now. Wonder how that would be possible? All womens records should be chucked and we should just start again.
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
oh give me a break ... you've stood next to her? How's that? Do you live in the Czech republic or something?
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
>oh give me a break ... you've stood next to her?
>How's that? Do you live in the Czech republic or
Redondo Beach, CA, actually. I competed in Europe in the 1970-80's smartass. She was bloody scary looking. If you think those records aren't tainted you're a fool. Haven't you heard of the Stasi files liberated from the FRG?
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
marknhj is correct. Mutola was built like that when she was 17. She is clean.
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
>marknhj is correct. Mutola was built like that
>when she was 17. She is clean.
Mutola might be clean, but I'm not so sure "she's" all woman.
Kratochvilova was in LA for an indoor meet back in the 80's. She was freaky looking in person, but Valerie Briscoe Hooks was even worse - she ended up looking so "mannish" by 85 - 87 it was scary. Her problem was that her ... supplementation went overboard, and she became too heavy. Unfortunately, the sport has been loaded with drug abusers for decades, and the athletes that are hyper responders to drugs really stand out "looks wise".
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
Oh you competed in Europe ... riiiiggghhhttt.
In any case (ok, maybe you did, but stood next to her many times?), why would she have reason to lie, especially at this point?
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
Let's not forgot FloJo....she was always a decent sprinter, then she retired, then she came out of retirement for one year, and blew away all the sprint records, and then she retired again....if you believe in tainted records, then you can add hers to the list.
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
>Oh you competed in Europe ...
In any case (ok, maybe you
>did, but stood next to her many times?), why
>would she have reason to lie, especially at this
Wow, your dumb! She has every reason to lie, heres one - so she can keep one of the oldest records in Track. As far as marknhj is concerned tell me what reason does he have to lie, to impress the few people who participate in these boards. Get a clue.
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
"Wonder Woman." ?
more like wonder android. she/he whatever had more hair than a man and tha wasn't because of being mediteranean or latino !
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
just to clarify my sarcastic Wonder "what" comment, I believe she is a female, we are not talking about a Stellla Walsh deal. But she was so obviously totally juiced that she looked like the Incredible Hulk. It's just a fact that steroids for women makes them look more masculine, and less feminine. And she was no super-femme beauty queen to start with. On a completely personal level she may very well be happily married with children, etc.
My only point is she was the EXTREME example of a Drugged up eastern Euro female athlete. Plus she seemed a bit on the "mannish" side anyway. Makes her an easy target, but the drug part is the only things that's justified. The rest is her life, nobody else's.
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
Just wondering- is it true that the officials started doing some kind of "inspection" for gender-specific areas in the mid-60's, and that Tamara and Irena Press (dominant throwers for USSR) abruptly "retired" at that time? Do they (I assume Olympic doctors) conduct some sort of "package inspection" for female athletes? Forgive my ignorance, I just seem to remember hearing/reading about this sort of thing (I assume nowadys that one could do a DNA test- which brings up the question of xxy "females", etc.).
Also, anyone else remember Dr. Richards, the transgender tennis player of about 25 years ago?
Re: Jarmila Kratochvilova
Noticed that the article mentions Carl Lewis' drug test failures. Totally unnecessary since the article was about Jarmila Kratochvilova. Guess they were preparing for a shift the blame type defense in case the drug issue was raised with her.

From what I know, it's the other way around: in the 1960s, they carried out DNA tests to determine who was or wasn't a woman, but after a couple of athletes got banned, they decided these tests weren't reliable enough (precisely for the reason you mention - somewomen are not straight XX types, but they are women nonetheless) and decided a visual inspection is the only way to tell.
I think I also read somewhere that sex tests were recently abandoned altogether...

I worked at Bemis full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – There was no need to worry about advancement. All high level positons were filled by those from the outside.
Cons – Unless you are in the Fox River Valley, you have little chance to advance. At the plant level, outsiders were constantly brought in to take higher level positions.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Good things hardly ever happen to homeless men. They live in all sorts of places, some under viaducts and bridges, others in cardboard boxes, in fields or under trees in the summertime.
But this is about a homeless man and a good thing.
He lives in a tent by a creek in Bloomington, Ill. His name is Dennis.
The how and why of his hard times are seeds of his own choosing planted years ago. The thing you should know about Dennis — known as "D" or "Double D" — is that he's pushing 60 and he was down to his last few bucks when he ran into a reader of this column, a pastor.
"I'd call it a great moment right before Easter," said Greg Davis, pastor of United Pentecostal Church in DeKalb. "I don't know how many times in life you get a chance to see something like this. To see a man who needs to smile, and that smile comes to him. A big smile. So I just had to call you."
On Thursday night, Davis was driving from DeKalb to a youth conference in Springfield when he pulled off the interstate in Bloomington for gas at the Circle K gas station. It was just after 9 p.m.
"My wife went into the convenience store to get some water, and I walked in to get a cup of coffee and got in line behind him," Davis said. "He'd had a rough life. He had layers of clothes, he was weather-beaten. His hands were badly weathered. He had a lottery ticket."
Davis doesn't like the lottery. To pay the bills, Davis is an accountant, a CPA running several Jackson Hewitt tax preparation franchises. And by both of his professions he isn't too fond of gambling. But he makes an exception here.
"Dennis hands her over the ticket. He spent his last dollar on that ticket. And he said to the girl, 'Did I win anything?' He had a very gruff voice. She looked at it, her eyes got wide. Really wide. As big as saucers.
"'Yes, sir,' she said. 'You just won $50,000.' I thought the man was going to have a heart attack. 'Wow,' he kept saying. 'Wow' and 'Are you sure? You're not kidding me, are you?' 'Yes,' she said. '$50,000.'"
But Dennis didn't believe it. So another clerk came up and examined the ticket. And that clerk said, yes, Dennis had won $50,000.
"He couldn't wrap his mind around it," Davis said. "All he kept saying is 'Wow. Wow.' In that big husky voice of his. It was hitting home. Here's a guy living in a tent. And this happens. And finally he turns and says to the clerk, 'Oh my G-o-d, oh my G-o-d,'" Davis said.
Illinois State Lottery spokesman Mike Lang confirmed Friday that yes, Dennis had won the $50,000. In 2008 and again last year, he'd won $1,000 with scratch-off tickets. On Friday, he showed up in Springfield, eager for his $50,000 lottery prize, but was told he had to leave an address where the prize could be sent. He couldn't very well leave "a tent by the creek," so he gave the address of a friend. And he wasn't happy to have to wait for the check.
"He wants to buy a trailer to live in," Lang told me. "Just a trailer."
The man who lives in a tent wants a roof, a place out of the wind, where he can stay dry.
"It makes your heart feel good when somebody wins something when they need it like that," said Mandy Prince, assistant manager of the Circle K. She scanned the ticket.
"He came in like normal," Prince said. "He always gets Scrabble and Crossword. He was joking around. He only thought he won $1,000. He was like, 'I just won $1,000.' I scan the ticket, and it's 50 grand."
"I said, 'D, you just won 50 grand. He was like, 'Nu-uh.' And I was like, 'Yes, Double D, you just won $50,000!'"
Prince then called her manager, "And I was like, 'D just won 50 grand. What do I do?'"
Prince said that even though Dennis is homeless, he finds his way to a local church every Sunday.
"He loves everybody here," Prince said.
A while back, the Circle K manager was standing in the street to manually change a gas price sign when a truck screeched by. Dennis ran out and got her out of the way. The employees never forgot it.
"He's a really nice guy," Prince said. "He would give the shirt off his back for the stranger if they only ask."
I've got a feeling that some are going to start asking. Perhaps not for his shirt, but for what's in his wallet. And now Dennis will have other choices to make.
The homeless are usually ignored by the rest of us, often invisible even when they're standing right in front of our faces. Now, though, he'll be visible enough, and that's the problem.
On Friday evening, a freelance photographer tracked him down at his tent. Dennis wasn't too happy. He wasn't in a talking mood, and you can understand why: He wanted the cash, and he was told he had to wait.
The photographer asked if he wanted to make a statement.
"I just told you," Dennis said, aggravated.
The man wants his money. After years of living off the grid, he's suddenly a man of means.
"I think I might just change some of my sermon for Easter Sunday," Davis said. "It's a good thing that happened to that man. And he needed a good thing to happen to him. And it did."

BARRIE - Hinduja Global Solutions (HGS) Canada is testing the waters in the Barrie labour pool.
On Jan. 18 and 19, the call-centre company is hosting a job fair at the Southshore Community Centre as the company assesses a fourth Ontario location. In the past two years, it opened offices in Thunder Bay, North Bay and Belleville.
"This is a great opportunity for Barrie and we are delighted to be part of HGS Canada's selection process," said Mayor Jeff Lehman.
"HGS would be an excellent addition to our employment landscape and getting people to come out to the job fair will be critical in showing that we have the required workforce to meet and support this potential new employer."
The company is looking for customer support agents, supervisors, trainers, recruiters, human resource workers, IT support and site managers at the fair that runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days.
"We have been looking at a number of potential new locations, but the response we have received in the area so far has been very supportive," said HGS Canada president Ross Beattie.
"Our team is looking to meet many skilled people to help us in our selection process. Although we are a global company, we pride ourselves on being very open, honest and community-minded. Anyone wanting to find out about us should visit our website, www.teamhgs.com to get a flavour of what we are about."
The company employs more than 21,000 in 42 centres around the world, including locations in the USA, India, Philippines, the UK and Mauritius.

Astus wrote:It is fascinating how nobody actually tried to look up in Dr. Ray's many publications what he says about rebirth. He had a two part article on it in Shambhala Sun (not bad ones either):
"Karma's central place in the tradition is shown by the Buddha's own enlightenment, which consisted of nothing but seeing the full range and extent of karma-that nothing in the universe stands outside karma's domain."
Understanding Karma
The Practice of Karma
One extra: On the Importance of Relating to Unseen Beings
Thanks for that Astus. I particularly enjoyed these comments:
Nothing is excluded, down to the number of eyelashes we have and the color of our fingernails and whether we are having a good or bad day. All of these come about because of specific actions that we have carried out in the past.
and this one:
One moment of consciousness, acting as a principal cause, transfers its karmic burden to the next, during our life and at our death.
I retract my statements as it seems that Ray does believe in literal rebirth. His previous statement seems to be taken out of context then.
