Did you hear that noise Tuesday night? It was the sound of a jet taking off in downtown Omaha, on the CenturyLink Center runway, with 17,000 screaming fans aboard the Doug McDermott Express.
It was the sound of winning.
There's a noise building off in the distance, 60 miles to the west. Press your ears to the wind on a cold winter's night, and you can make out a distinct new sound.
It's coming from Pinnacle Bank Arena. There's a party going on.
Tonight, Indiana is the guest of honor as the Nebraska men's basketball team and Nebrasketball fans try to light a fire in the dead of winter. Husker fans, your job tonight is to sit down only when IU coach Tom Crean plops down in a chair. Hint: he never sits down.
They would like to make it three home wins in a row. It was Ohio State last week and Minnesota on Sunday. Yes, back-to-back home Big Ten home wins. Sellout crowds for hoops on a Monday night and Sunday evening. What in the name of the Polish Rifle is going on?
There's something going on here. Sound familiar?
Nebraska and Creighton basketball fans do not like to even appear in the same sentence. I understand. But this comparison is unavoidable.
Ten years ago, CU moved on up from an outdated Civic Auditorium to the comfortable and luxurious Qwest Center Omaha. It transformed the Jays' program, changed the expectations, expanded the brand, upped the ante in the community.
Did Dana Altman winning have something to do with that? Yes. But Creighton fans became a force and CU games became a happening. And I'm here to tell you those sellout crowds contributed to the winning. CU fans are partners in their program's success.
The red side of the state brushed it off as a sports bar. Yes, there is beer. But I don't believe CU fans flock to games to get a drink. The folks who go to Creighton games are addicted to a drug, but it's not alcohol.

Follow World-Herald columnist Tom Shatel to get his opinions on the latest sports happenings.
It's winning.
I see a similar vibe going on in Lincoln's Haymarket. Pinnacle Bank Arena is an incredible place. The concourses are a little tighter than in Omaha, the layout of seats is more vertical. In Lincoln, the places to eat and drink are, um, stumbling distance from the arena.
There's a neat little ice skating rink in the middle of it all, with a huge outdoor TV screen to watch a game. The entire area has a distinct, welcome feel; a great place to park and walk around. The centerpiece is PBA, a beautiful structure where folks want to hang out, inside or out.
The result is that Nebraska basketball games are becoming a happening. And guess what else is happening?
The team is 9-1 in its new home, and in the loss to Big Ten leader Michigan, the Huskers had the ball with a chance to win on the last possession.
Which comes first, the winning tradition or the fans? In some cases, they happen together.
Tim Miles and Co. need their fans more than ever. Building a hoops winner in Lincoln is like climbing out of quicksand.
Beat Ohio State, lose at Penn State. Beat Minnesota, boot point guard Deverell Biggs off the team.
Here in his second season, Miles has a team of transfers and holdovers, some who have won a little, some who have never won. He's trying to make a big impression for recruits. He's trying to do it against Crean and Tom Izzo and Thad Matta.
The historic plight of Husker Hoops is well known. It's a graveyard for coaching careers. Everyone has a plan. Miles has built winners at smaller programs. Sure, at this level it's about recruiting. But in one sense building here is no different than at Colorado State or North Dakota State.
You have to learn how to win. You have to expect to win.
The Huskers did not play like a team that expected to win at Penn State. With a lead on an overmatched opponent in an empty arena, the Huskers couldn't make the plays to finish. They froze. Miles took the blame. He wants his players to figure out what to do on their own. When they froze up and looked to him for answers, he didn't respond.
It was a team loss. A step back in the search for confidence.
"You have to go out and earn victory," Miles said. "You have to earn confidence."
|Join the daily conversation on the Tom Shatel Facebook page.
Miles readily quotes from the books in his office. One of his favorites is from Hall of Fame coach Pat Riley.
"There comes a point in time in every man's life when he has to plant his feet and stand up for what he believes in," Miles said, quoting Riley. "I truly believe when you establish your program, you have to plant your feet at some point."
The Huskers might be learning to do that at PBA.
Nebraska's win over Ohio State was part of the Big Ten Network's show "The Journey" this week. When OSU stormed back to take the lead in the second half, cameras showed Miles pointing a finger at each player and telling him to "Fight."
The Huskers have to learn to punch back in this fistfight league. It happened that night, with the help of the second-largest crowd in school history that carried the team back in crunch time.
Yes, a Nebraska basketball crowd. The late Iowa State coach Johnny Orr, who once said Devaney Center crowds had the energy of dead dogs, would never believe it.
"During that time, Leslee Smith is in the huddle saying, 'They are not winning in our house — this is our house,' " Miles said. "It was like a defining moment.
"I've never thought we were going to lose a game in Pinnacle Bank Arena. I thought we would still come back and beat Michigan. It's got a life of its own. It's completely different of anything I've been around at Nebraska."
Eric Piatkowski remembers sellout crowds and big noise. He played in front of them at the Devaney Center from 1990 to '94.
The "Polish Rifle," who lives in Omaha and is an NU season-ticket holder, sees and feels a similar vibe at PBA. With so much more potential.
"It's great," he said. "The student section is great. I've been really impressed. Nebraska needed this.
"It's loud, but it can get louder. I would like to see Nebraska fans become a little more educated in the game. Sometimes they'll stand up for a rally and then sit right down. They need to keep standing up and yelling, whatever it takes, from one TV timeout to the next. If the Huskers are making a run, keep it going."
That will come with winning. And that's what this season is all about. Not the NCAAs or the NIT. It's about winning and winning again. Tonight NU will try to win consecutive conference games for the first time in three years. Think about that.
There's a nucleus of young talent here. It needs help at point guard and inside. But mostly it needs to win. If NU has a chance to play in any postseason tourney this year, it can't thumb its nose. It needs to play and win games.
Nebraska players, and fans, must remember how to win again. In their new plush surroundings, perhaps the Huskers and their fans can learn together.

September 2012 Webinar - A Look at Some New HQ Pro-Stitcher Software Features
September webinar : I was so looking forward to viewing this particular webinar. But clicking where I was told to do, did not bring it up. Please help as I have so enjoyed all of the webinars to date. ~ Marcia L. Morrow
ProStitcher Update : I like your webinars, but thought this one to be a little choppy. I also like it better when you are actually working on a quilt and show us the outcome as it sews. ~ LaDonna Duncan
Very informative at a high level... : I installed my update to my ProStitcher before seeing this webinar...and totally freaked at how different the interface is now compared to before. This webinar has definitely gone a long way in introducing the new look, how to navigate, and a basic explanation of new features and how to use them. That said, I very much hope you will be following up with actual videos so that the words and actions are visible realtime. I feel I benefited greatly from the webinar but I was waiting for a comment on the cropping section where the motif to crop is not straight line. I am unclear on whether you can overuse the multipoint feature for accurately defining a curved shape. Overall, good job. I give you 3.5 stars... ~ Diana
ProStitcher Update : I agree with the other comments...It would be so much more helpful to see the words and actions in real time...Having said that, the people at HandiQuilter are always so helpful, both with any technical issues, and tutorials. Thanks! ~ Suzanne Arthur


text: Tim White For Whom the Barn Tolls Buckeye Farm Beat Need a project? Get a barn.. Published on: April 25, 2011 With the heavy wind and the volumes of rain this weekend, the downspout on the barn gutter came crashing right down. Yep, tore the duct tape and everything. So I put it back together. Doubled the duct tape. I'll get back to you in a month. The barn is an unending source of projects. Last summer it was new siding and paint. Now the other side needs power washing and re-painting. I think my brother-in-law is looking for some work. I did finally fix the wooden ramp that runs up into the barn. It's only the second time in 25 years. Not bad. Last time I used several railroad ties I had acquired from a friend – the B&O. the job held up well for a couple of years and I managed to use the ramp for several years after with one of ties broken. But when they both cracked, taking the 150-year-old boards that covered the beams with them, it was time for repairs. Yes it did happen while I was backing the tractor down the ramp, but no-one was hurt. I had a seatbelt on. Last September I had several walnut logs and a few red oaks taken over to the saw mill next door. I asked the sawyer Kenny Schwalbaugh to cut the oaks into 2 inch planks as long as possible. Lucky for me that was only 14 feet. In March I drove down to Kenny's and loaded my boards on the truck. The boards are green. The boards are 6 to 8 inches wide and 2 inches thick and 14 feet long. Real inches not Lowe's inches. What do you think they weighed 400 pounds? So I slid them off the pile and into the truck one at a time. I drove the load back to the barn and carried the planks off the truck onto the ramp. Looks great! And now I am beginning to feel like I can walk without tons of pain much of the time. The ramp is now square and solid. With new braces, it can easily accommodate the tractor – taking almost all the excitement out of backing out the door. So the next plan is to lay a concrete floor in the downstairs stall area. Last used to feed 4-H lambs or hold the ewes before worming, I'm thinking it would make a nice workshop. It has a dirt floor and stone wall that we have begun to patch. I've hauled tons of rich ancient manure from generations unknown out of this room to my garden and I would haul some more but I can't find the floor. For the last 4 or 5 years it has been a storage area for cardboard boxes and dog food bags – you know things that can be used to start bonfires. No not dynamite and kerosene. Those are stored separately. As I said we've had a lot of rain lately, but Friday was a perfect break in the rain for burning a brush pile and getting rid of 5 years worth of dog food bags. By bagging the bags in bags, I was able to clean the room out in about 15 trips. Except for the huge sandstone blocks that sit in the middle. They weigh more than oak planks. We'll have to think about those. It will take about 4 inches of gravel and wire inlay for reinforcement. And that big puddle in the middle should be drained. Of course who knows when the ground will be dry enough to support a concrete truck? Just what I need a concrete truck up to its axles. One more thing… From Gene DeBruin of Greenfield: No there hasn't been any corn planted around here. Maybe some oats and alfalfa. I haven't heard of any corn planted in Ohio. But the farmers all have their planters hitched up to the tractor and ready to go. Meanwhile they're in their pickups driving up and down the road and looking at mud puddles. Don't worry this has happened before. They can put most of it in in 3 or 4 days when they get going. If there are nerves anywhere, it's probably with the folks lending the money. At $500 to $600 an acre there is a huge amount of credit at risk.

A publisher of a West Village newspaper got into a physical confrontation with a state senator and a Quinn campaign intern at a press conference held Monday by Christine Quinn's mayoral campaign at the former site of St. Vincent's Hospital. NY1's Courtney Gross filed the following report.
When the subject of hospital closures hit the campaign trail on Monday, things got heated.
A publisher of a West Village newspaper, George Capsis, went after State Senator Brad Hoylman, and then, moments later, off camera, he went after an intern for Christine Quinn's mayoral campaign.
A group of Quinn supporters was in front of the former site of St. Vincent's Hospital, defending her record.
The press conference was overrun by an anti-Quinn group trying to drown out Quinn's message. The group shouted, "Shame on you!"
Capsis was unapologetic, saying he just lost his wife several days ago. He said she was at a Bronx hospital.
"If this hospital had existed, I could have walked two blocks and spent time with her," Capsis said. "That man and the politicians, like Quinn, turned their back on the community."
Just an hour after the incident occurred, de Blasio was on the same block, beneath the condo development set to replace the now-shuttered St Vincent's.
"Speaker Quinn, who was the head of the legislative branch of this city government, whose district St. Vincent's is in, I would ask her why her efforts did not succeed, why the mayor she supported did not intervene, why she lost this hospital," de Blasio said.
"No one worked harder than my staff and myself to try to save that hospital," Quinn said. "I appreciate the times the public advocate joined with me in that effort, but real leadership isn't recreating history and finger-pointing.
St. Vincent's closed down in 2010, but candidates used the backdrop Monday to talk about hospital closures across the city.
Fellow Democratic mayoral candidate William Thompson came to the same street corner to put forward his own hospital plan.
"This is about putting together a plan that will save our hospitals," he said.
Thompson's announcement was clearly less dramatic.

Venue Type:
Mon-Sat 10.00-17.00
In August Sun 12.00-17.00
Closed: Sundays September to July
Please check before visiting.
If you know the story of 'Greyfriars Bobby ', you will be thrilled to see his collar and feeding bowl, and the original plaster model for the bronze statue in Candlemaker Row.
One of the museum's great treasures is the National Covenant, signed by Scotland's presbyterian leadership in 1638, while the collections of Scottish pottery and items relating to Field Marshal Earl Haig are of national importance. The museum also features Edinburgh silver and glass, and a colourful collection of shop signs. The home of The Museum of Edinburgh is picturesque Huntly House, which faces on to the Canongate and dates from the 16th century. It was extended in the 17th and 18th centuries, and has been home to a wide variety of owners and tenants, ranging from aristocrats to merchants and working people. Robert Chambers, a Victorian antiquarian, called Huntly House the ' speaking house' because of the Latin inscriptions on its facade. It is appropriate that the 'speaking house' now accomodates The Museum of Edinburgh. The Museum of Edinburgh regularly mounts temporary exhibitions drawn from the local history and decorative art collections.

Building Scotland
- 2 May — 29 June 2014
This touring exhibition celebrates fourteen individual building materials. Many, such as stone and timber, have been used since earliest human habitation in Scotland. Others, such as pantiles and iron, came into general use in more recent times.
For the majority of our traditionally constructed buildings it is the combined use of these materials that has created the beautiful and diverse nature of Scotland's built heritage: stone, lime and pantiles come together to form distinctive buildings in our east coast towns and villages; timber, clay, stone and thatch are combined to form the blackhouses so distinctive of the Western Isles.

April 25, 2014
The Baltimore Ravens have signed free agent defensive end Chris Canty, who spent the previous four seasons with the New York Giants.
Canty announced the signing Tuesday on Instagram with a photo of the signed contract, according to the Ravens website.
But it was a tough day for the Super Bowl champions, who lost free agent linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe. Kruger signed with the AFC North-rival Cleveland Browns and Ellerbe agreed to a five-year deal with Miami.
The 30-year-old Canty was released in February by the Giants. The 6-foot-7, 317-pounder was a starter the last four years in New York, but he missed seven games in 2012 with a knee injury. He finished with 26 tackles and three sacks.
Canty can also play the middle of the line.

Macy's Readies for Holiday after Strong 3Q
Cecile Corral -- Home Textiles Today, December 13, 2010
KAREN HOGUET Macy's
During Macy's third quarter earnings call last week, Karen Hoguet, cfo, outlined some of the key strategies the company has implemented to accelerate performance in fourth quarter. The "M.A.G.I.C." selling program, which launched this past summer with Macy's training of about 130,000 sales associates and sales managers on selling skills, is being extended through yearend "to give our seasonal hires a shortened form of this training," she said. The acronym stands for: Meet and Make connections; Ask questions and listen; Give options and advice; Inspire to buy; and Celebrate the purchase.
The recently created "Gift" strategy, which started development in May 2009, is being expanded with three new components: new gift shops in 400 doors featuring limited-edition, exclusive "and fun" gifts that are mostly under $50; "Be"-themed shops, which encompass gifts that fall under the headings "Be warm," "Be glamorous" and similar themes for all categories of business; and Celebrity shops, situated throughout the store and stocked with items from Macy's many celebrity- and exclusive branded lines, including Martha Stewart.
"All of these will be presented in new and very interesting ways both in our stores and online and the products are being supported by a terrific marketing campaign," Hoguet said.
Earnings per share for the quarter ended Oct. 30 were 2 cents versus a loss of 8 cents per share in the year-ago period.
Sales increased 6.6% to $5.62 billion, and comps were up 3.9%.
Combined online sales from macys.com and bloomingdales. com in the quarter grew a healthy 24.0%, positively impacting the company's same-store sales by 0.8%.
In the third quarter, the company opened two new Macy's stores in Palmdale and Tracy, Calif., a new Bloomingdale's store in Santa Monica, Calif., and three new Bloomingdale's Outlet stores. A fourth Bloomies outlet is set to open later this month.
Small-scale Macy's and Bloomingdale's stores were singled out as increasingly stronger performers in the quarter.
"One of thoughts behind My Macy's was to help smaller stores do better, and that appears to be working," Hoguet said.
Year to date, earnings per share were 42 cents year to date compared with a loss of 27 cents per diluted share last year.
Sales rose 7.0% to $16.7 billion, and comps increased 4.7%. Online sales - at both macys. com and Bloomingdales.com - shot up by 28.5%, supported by a 0.7% percent rise in same-store sales. Online sales are included in the same-store sales calculation for Macy's, Inc.
Cash flow results year to date proved another highlight, with $346 million in the first three quarters compared with $406 million in the same period in 2009. This includes a funding contribution to the company's pension plan of $325 million in 2010 year to date, compared with approximately $146 million in the first three quarters of 2009.
Macy's also increased its earnings guidance for the second half of 2010 to $1.50 to $1.55 per share, excluding expenses associated with the early retirement of debt in the third quarter. This compares with previous guidance of $1.45 to $1.50 per share for the second half of 2010. For the full-year 2010, earnings guidance is $1.94 to $1.99 per share, compared with previous guidance of $1.89 to $1.94, excluding expenses associated with the early retirement of debt.

Knit fabrics
Comfortable, fun, and functional are what you want in your clothes, and sewing with knit fabrics gives your wardrobe all of these qualities. Whether you're looking for a soft cotton knit, a cotton/poly knit blend with a little more stretch, or a polyester knit that complements any figure, you'll find lots of choices. Learn about all your fabric options here, and find the perfect knit for your next project.

Double-knit interlock
Double knits are woven with two yarns and two sets of needles to create a more stable fabric, which looks the same on front and back. Double knits retain their shape, and work well for tailored garments. Choose double knits for jackets, pants, skirts and dresses, or when you want tops, t-shirts, and sleepwear with a denser weight and no see-through.
Bare Knits cotton interlock
Bare Knits cotton/poly interlock
Rib knits
Rib knits are made from two types of stitches, knit and purl, that create visible vertical ribs on both sides of the fabric. Rib knits have considerable crosswise stretch, but minimal lengthwise stretch. Use it for ribbing, cuffs, tops, jackets, leggings, and other form-fitting garments. Rib knits are a great fabric choice for children's clothes because the added stretch grows with them, making clothes fit better longer.
Bare Knits cotton rib
Bare Knits cotton/poly rib
Single knits
Single knits are made from a single layer of fabric, providing a lighter weight and more fluidity in clothing. They have a definite right and wrong side, and will curl toward the right side when stretched and released. Choose single knits for tops and t-shirts, dresses, full skirts, wrap garments, wide-leg pants, and sleepwear.
4-way stretch knits
This fabric works well for patterns with lots of curves and shaping.
ITY knits
Easy-care fabric that doesn't wrinkle, has great drape, and is ultra soft next to your skin.
Slinky knits
Drapes beautifully, maintains its shape, and travels well—it doesn't wrinkle.
Designer knits
Lightweight textured and print fabrics from top designers and mills.

Corduroy Riding Jacket 8 8
Grand Prize Winner Have only tried this on and not yet worn, but it felt so good even coming out of the box. Finishing is tailored beautifully. Fit is very comfortable even one size down (from 14 to 12), so do recommend that. I am 5'6" , 170 lbs in my 60's. Red color is a true brick, purple is rich dark color and black is on the way. Fantastic sale price! January 15, 2014
Flattering fitted jacket I bought this jacket in black and, while it's a soft black rather than a jet black, it looks great with black leggings and boots. Size-wise, it seems just right for wearing over a turtleneck or even a light sweater and the overall fit is flattering. The jacket is well made, the lining fabric is lovely, and you can't beat all those pockets when you're wearing it with leggings. I'm definitely considering a second one in another color. January 9, 2014
RUNS LARGER THAN YOU THINK - FLATTERING WHEN RIGHT YOU CAN ORDER A SIZE OR TWO DOWN...THE TIGHTER THE BETTER CAUSE THE SEAMS FLATTER YOUR FIGURE....I HAVE ONE IN EACH COLOR..TOOK 3 TRIES..FIRST 12, THEN 10, THEN SIZE 8 FINALLY HUGGED MY BODY....NICE SALE PRICES TOO. February 28, 2014
nicely made This jacket was just what I was looking for! perfect fit. December 11, 2013
Love this jacket I have this jacket in four colors. It's a classic!! January 29, 2014
Awesome Jacket Absolutely love this jacket. In fact, I love it so much I'm going to order another one in a different color! This one is burnt orange, and it's a beautiful color. Well made with lots of pockets. I am 5'3" with a "mature" figure. I ordered a L so I could wear sweaters with it. The longer jackets are great for me since they make me appear taller and thinner! That's always a plus! Another winner from TravelSmith! January 9, 2014
not exactly a real navy color I ordered this while I was on the phone with a rep about another matter, and her recommendation that this coat runs a bit large helped me to get the better fit .. However, the color was not the true "navy" that I was expecting, and I am still considering whether or not to return this otherwise good longer jacket. If you can get it at a sale price ( at or even below $99) then you will probably be happy with it, esp if the color suits you...It does fit well and the length will be great for fall and warmer winter days... September 28, 2013
Ordered size 6 per chart. Too large. Returned for size 4. Also too large. Neither size matched chart. July 4, 2013

People say that to much emphasis is put on Cruz but what most don't understand is that Cruz was our most productive receiver for the past two years. Everyone thinks that because of Eli's Greatness that it doesn't matter. The last I checked the giants did not make the playoffs last year. Yes you can blame a lot of it on the defense but Eli did not have one of his best seasons either not by far so I guess everyone is not expendable. The NY Giants can roll the dice if they one too and let Cruz sign his tender but it will be their worst mistake that they have made in a while.
Victor Cruz contract complicated by Hakeem Nicks' future
Since the deadline for restricted free agent Victor Cruz to sign an offer sheet with another team passed weeks ago, the Giants' wide receiver has limited options left on the table.
He can sign the one-year, $2.879 million contract tender that Giants placed on him to prevent him from leaving as an unrestricted free agent. Cruz also could say yes to the more lucrative, longer-term offer New York has presented him (reportedly $8 million per year with at least $15 million guaranteed). And, of course, Cruz could go the holdout route — he needs to play just six games, a la Vincent Jackson in 2010, to accrue a year toward free agency, thus potentially giving him unrestricted freedom next year.
Giants GM John Mara knows all the scenarios — including the fourth, doomsday possibility of Cruz sitting out the entire 2013 season, though that would simply push his current contract onto 2014. So, it's not surprising to hear him say that the situation is under control, as he did Monday on the NFL Network.
"I'm pretty confident that we'll end up reaching a deal with [Cruz]," Giants co-owner John Mara told NFL Network's "NFL AM" on Tuesday. "This is not that atypical a situation. Player contracts, particularly with star players like Victor, can tend to drag on from time to time. I think we'll get it done.
"This is the right place for him to play. He's a star in this area, he's an important part of our team, and I think we'll eventually get a deal done, but it's just a process that you have to go through. And we're going through it right now. There's communication, and it's slow but steady, and I think at some point we'll reach a deal."
The Giants can ill-afford to lose the 26-year-old Cruz, who came out of nowhere to produce an 82-catch 2012, then followed it up with 86 receptions and 10 touchdowns last season. They dodged a bit of a bullet, then, as the other 31 teams in the league opted against trying to pry Cruz away from New York.
All indications (including that he has not signed yet) are that Cruz wants to earn more, and perhaps a great deal more, than the current $8 million-per-year offer he's believed to have. Just seven wide receivers currently make more than $10 million per season on average.
The other issue at play here for New York, aside from being somewhat limited by the salary cap, is that Hakeem Nicks has just one year left on his current contract. The Giants might opt to use the franchise tag on Nicks after the 2013 season, and the receiver price tag climbed north of $10.5 million this year. So, if the Giants plan to keep Nicks around, they need to ensure that they have the financial wiggle room necessary to do so.
Which brings us back to one of the topics of the early offseason: how the Giants are prioritizing their top two receivers.
For now, it appears that New York would prefer to get both Nicks and Cruz locked up for years to come. However, with Nicks' situation unresolved, are the Giants willing or able to up the ante on their offer to Cruz?
If not, this standoff may continue on through training camp and possibly into the regular season. Mara may sound the alarm bell a little more loudly at that point.
Beware Giants. I see a "Pittsburgh scenario" unfolding here. (You know, where the number 2 WR is signed to such an expensive deal that the number one guy becomes too expensive. Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace). Compare the stats of Cruz and Nicks. Cruz' stats are superior in essentially every meaningful category. More catches per season, more yards per season and game, more TDs per season ON AVERAGE, more yards per catch, etc etc. Now, if the Giants sign Nicks to a lucrative deal, then it becomes more likely that Cruz signs elsewhere after a one year tender (just like what transpired in Pittsburgh).
The better, and more intelligent course of action for the Giants? 1. Don't franchise Nicks, he's not worth $10.5 Million for one season. 2. Don't tender Cruz, it only pisses off the player who knows he is worth MUCH more than the tender and exponentially increases the chances of Cruz playing elsewhere after 2013. 3. Sign Cruz to a long term contract. He is clearly the team's number one WR. 4. Trade Nicks for draft picks if he cannot be signed to a deal commensurate with his actual value. If he is dealt, simply draft a WR in one of the early rounds with the pick obtained in the trade.
If I am mistaken, kindly state why or how.
Chris Burke and editors, John Mara is not the GM of the Giants!
@ad2 He was the Most Productive BECAUSE Nicks has been Injured. Nicks is the Better Player, But Is Injury Prone, at least the last 2 seasons. If Healthy, i dont Think its close in Terms of Who is Better all around. Its A Hard thing to deal with. Cruz can say he is a Elite Rece3iver all he wants, but the Fact of the Matter is , he is a Faster Wes Welker, and Like the Patriots, It comes down to whether or Not the Giants are Willing to Pay a slot receiver like an Outside Receiver... New England said HELL NO! so we'll see what the Giants do.
@ad2 What happened when we let Steve Smith go? He was a pro bowler. He had 107 receptions and 1200 yards... an undrafted player, named Victor Cruz, steps in and has similar production. Cruz's numbers are due to the Giants system and the emphasis they put on the slot position. Believe me, the Giants will be fine without Cruz if they decide to part ways.
@John4 Nicks is the better receiver, better all around Player. Cruz has played 2 seasons.. in Both of those Seasons, Nicks was Playing INJURED... That Invalidates what you said. Go back to The Seasons Prion to 2012 and 2011.. Nicks Put up Numbers as Good, if not Better in Sum categories than Cruz and in those seasons Nicks Was Healthy. I think People Are blinded by the Flash of Cruz. When in actuality, His Numbers Are a Result of Nicks Not being Nicks... Hakeem is Eli Mannings Binky, When healthy, Eli would ALWAYS look to Hakeem Nicks, He would Simply flip ball up and allow Nicks to Out Muscle and Out Jump Defenders... all those Throws have gone To Cruz because Nicks has not Been Able To run. Cruz, who , as a Ginats fan, I LOVE.. but Is Only a Faster Version Of Wes Welker.. and Like ive said, it Comes down to Whether or Not the Giants Are Willing to Pay a Slot receiver like an Outside threat. the Patriots Said HELL NO! And Welker is now in Denver... We will see What the Ginats Do.
@John4 I have no idea what you're talking about or the posters that follow you.
"Simply draft a WR in one of the early rounds..." Simply replace Nicks who when healthy is one of the top 5 WR in the game?
You guys are over valuing Cruz, NY has shown that you can plug anyone into the slot and get great production, it's due to the offensive structure. Remember Steve Smith, pro bowler for the Giants...
Working the outside of the field is much more difficult and there are far fewer players that are able to have success in the X receiver position, that is why the ones who can excel at that position get paid a lot.
Cruz is a great player, and as much as I like him if he moves on I would be suprised if his replacement didn't post 80+ receptions with 1,200 yards at a fraction of the price.
The Giants are being responsible offering him top dollar for his position and not going over board (like the Knicks would). The Giants are simply a well run team.
@John4 There's an irrational reluctance among fans and NFL persons alike to accept that Cruz is more important to the Giants offense than Nicks.
Nicks is the 1st round pick with gorgeous physical measurables that the Giants front-office has their ego invested in. Cruz is the undrafted free agent gem the Giants stumbled upon and, to this point, have paid very little for (and thus don't have much invested in).
Plus, Nicks is made of glass. He misses games every season, and is 100% for even less. Cruz, on the other hand, is consistently healthy.
@sceneinthecity @ad2 I beg to differ my friend. Steve Smith is not a strong versatile receiver like Cruz. The exception with Cruz is that he plays all the positions as a WR, #1, #2, and #3. Cruz is strong like a possession receiver, great route runner, and fastest in the squad. He has been the most productive for the past two years. My only knock on Cruz is that he drops 1-2 balls per game You cannot state someone hunger for the game is because of Eli.
Steve Smith declined because of his knee injury; he is not the same anymore. If Steve didn't have that knee injury, he would have been as productive. He is a bad example to bring into the mix. People should stop categorizing Cruz has a slot because he isn't. He enter as one, but ended the last two seasons as the #2, and when Nicks wasn't playing he was #1 receiver in the team.
@ad2 By the way, I love Cruz I just think his contract demands are too lofty for his actual value. He's not the #1 in NY, he's a slot guy, and he's being offered top dollar for the position he plays.
@sceneinthecity Oh, you Giants fans who see the world through rose colored glasses. Nicks top 5 WR when healthy? You cannot be serious! (That's my John McEnroe). Nicks is frequently "nicked" up, and is a number two on his own team. If the Giants can keep only one of their top 2 WRs, due to Cap room, etc, it would be FOOLISH to keep Nicks at the expense of losing Cruz. Nicks is top five? - HAHAHAHAHA. No, Nicks is NOT top five. Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Demaryius Thomas, Vincent Jackson, Dez Bryant, Reggie Wayne, Wes Welker, Roddy White, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Steve Smith, Marques Colston, etc etc etc. Nicks is NOWHERE to be found! Top 5 WR in the league? Give a lot of consideration to coming back to reality, please.
(Caps for emphasis, not yelling)!
@leehwgoc lee - I agree with you. The Giants stumbled onto Cruz. They drafted Nicks in the first round, and have less to show for it than they should. So far, of course, Nicks has earned far more than Cruz, and if Nicks gets the Franchise tag, at $10.5 Million for one year, there is NO WAY that Cruz re-signs with the Giants. Why should he?
@John4 @sceneinthecity Anyone who thinks they know Football and would Pay Wes Elker OR Victor Cruz More than Hakeem Nicks, Is smoking sum Serious stuff.. Liek i KEEP SAYING.. the Last 2 Seasons, Nicks has Played Hurt... he has Not been NICKS. Look at the Numbers BEFORE the last 2 Seasons, and YOu will see the Steady Climb of Nicks, then the Injuries began... This season will Tell you whats What, If he stays HEalthy, Nicks Will Easily Match or surpass Anything Cruz does AS A SLOT RECEIVER! The Ginats THANKFULLY are not Reactionary, Because they Understand the Positions Cruz and Nicks Play, and The Value that is associated with those Positions... Roddy White is a Loud Mouth, but He said Something that i thought was very accurate when a reporter Asked About The Best Receiving Tandums in the NFL... He was asked Who is Better than HE and Jones, and The Pairing of Nicks and Cruz was Put to him and White Said "Nicks YEah, but I respect the Numbers Cruz Puts up, but He does not Play Outside, He is a Slot receiver, The Big Boys Play Outside" THANK YOU!
@sceneinthecity Oh OK, Scene in the city guy, that makes a lot more sense. X receiver, and slot receivers and all, you have cleared that up nicely. And your logic is far superior to mine, clearly, and with the additional information you gave me, with your superior knowledge, you are right, Nicks IS ONE OF THE TOP 5 WRS IN THE NFL! I was wrong, clearly you are right. Sorry for my idiocy.
(Caps for emphasis, not yelling)!
@John4 @sceneinthecity we're talking about X receivers and if you don't know what that is google it. Cruz is a very good slot receiver, but not worth more than Welker. Steve Smith posted 100+ receptions and 1200 yards before Cruz, we were fine when he left with the undrafted Cruz - that tells me that the slot in New York is a productive position. Top 5 outside receivers who are all more talented than any slot receiver 1) CJ, 2) AJ, 3 / 4 / 5 Julio, Thomas and Nicks debatable. Bryant needs to prove he can keep his head on, Johnson is getting old rapidly although he had a surprisingly great year last year, the rest of those guys I won't even comment on as their not in the same class due to age or skill.
@jojomogir I also did not say that the Giants should pay $10.5 Million to Cruz. I said that the franchise tag (of $10.5 Million for one year) is too much for Nicks.
@jojomogir I'm pretty sure that Cruz will get a higher per year contract than a WR in his 30's. (Welker). Also, all I originally said is that it could be too expensive for the Giants to keep both Cruz and Nicks. If they can only keep one (due to the cost) then MY OPINION is that they should keep Cruz. (And if they can't keep Nicks, to trade him for a draft pick if possible). If I'm wrong, fine. Do YOU think the Giants will be able to keep both Cruz and Nicks? If not, which one of the two should they keep? jojomogir - please also note that Cruz' avg per catch is higher than Nicks', so maybe he does stretch the field better than Nicks. Otherwise, how to explain the higher yards per catch?
@John4 @leehwgoc Slot receivers simply do not get $10.5 million a year - name one who does. Cruz has been great for the Giants, but even $8 million is a lot for him. Look at what Welker got. You get the big money for being able to stretch the defense with deep routes and prevent the D from putting 8 in the box. Cruz, as good as he is in turning short routes into long gains, does not stretch the defense like Nicks does, and therefore he isn't worth as much.

The company's Tizen operating system is viewed as a way for Samsung to distance itself from Google's Android platform.
Samsung is looking to improve its non-Android phones by bringing together its own low-end OS Bada with the successor to MeeGo, Tizen.
Samsung is poised to pump resources into its Bada operating system for mobile phones, including opening its platform to developers and bringing the software to its line of TVs.
Samsung plans to recruit other manufacturers to make Bada phones and tablets by making the simple operating system free.
Samsung has been keeping busy at the IFA consumer electronics in Berlin, with the debut of a new tablet, smartphone, and three new Bada OS handsets.
Samsung has announced a new smart phone operating system called bada. Crazy name, crazy OS
CNET takes a hands-on look at the Samsung Wave, the company's new Bada phone that was unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2010.
The Samsung Wave is Samsung's first phone to have its new Bada OS, and also sports a Super AMOLED touchscreen that promises to be brighter than ever
Samsung will wean itself from Windows Mobile to focus on Bada and Android. But could Android be in danger as well?

Detroit Lions WR Patrick Edwards appeared to be the No. 4 wide receiver during offseason workouts and also saw some time with the first-team offense during some of the practices.
Huddle Up: With the Lions, of course, it's been Megatron and then little else when it comes to WRs in the passing game, and Edwards, an undrafted 2012 free-agent from the University of Houston, has as good of a shot as any other wideout on the roster to make some fantasy noise after sitting out injured all of last season. have him handy on your list of deep WR sleepers.

Detroit Lions WR Patrick Edwards, who missed out on a chance to join the active roster last year due to an injury, has impressed the coaches during a minicamp over the weekend. Edwards finished his career at the University of Houston with 291 catches for 4,507 yards and 43 touchdowns, but he went undrafted in 2012. 'He's a lot stronger right now than he was last year,' head coach Jim Schwartz said. 'He runs much better routes. He has a much better understanding of the offense, which you would expect. He's always had the ability to make a play. He's another guy that's in the mix returning kicks and punts.'
Huddle Up: Hey, the door remains wide open for a WR complement to emerge opposite Megatron, and the 5-foot-9, 175-pound Edwards could emerge as a deep sleeper or at least make an impact as a return man.

Annie Rogers' A Dream Across Time is a powerful and gripping novel that effectively depicts Caribbean reality, wherein folklore, superstition, heritage, culture, family traditions, secrets and magic are all interwoven with history.
Our narrative begins in 1789 at the time of the French Revolution when Anne-Cecile Diamant together with her twin sons, Louis and Philippe, flee France to escape the terrible fate that awaits many of the French aristocracy. Anne-Ceciles husband, Jean-Clair, accompanies his family to a coach that will transfer them to a ship traveling to Sainte Lucie (St. Lucia). Jean-Clair promises his wife that he will shortly join them on board the ship, after he attends to his arranging of letters of credit. Before departing, Jean-Clair hands Anne-Cecile a small pouch containing their childrens christening gifts from the King and Queen of France. The gifts, as we shall eventually learn, will play a key role in this riveting novel.
Anne-Cecile and her twins reach Sainte Lucie without Jean-Clair; however, unfortunately the evil of the revolution has pursued them to the Caribbean. Furthermore, slaves armed by sympathizers of the revolution are rebelling and demanding their freedom
In Sainte Lucie, Anne-Cecile and her sons find themselves under the care of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Charles and Yvette. However, once again they are required to run away-this time, to the neighboring island of Martinique. Charles directs his trusted servant and slave, Makus and his wife, Btil to help Anne-Cecile and her sons leave Sainte Lucie.
As our story unfolds, we discover that unfortunately, Charles and Yvette along with their family never made it to Martinique, as they were all murdered. The only one that does succeed in escaping is the eldest of Anne-Ceciles twins, Philippe, while Anne-Cecile and Louis are obliged to stay behind in Sainte Lucie hidden in a cave for several years under the watchful eyes of Makus and BKil. As a result of saving their lives, Anne-Cecile promises Makus and BKil that their loyalty will not go unrewarded for all they have done for the Diamant family. This promise will likewise play a crucial role in the unfolding saga.
Fast forward to 1980 to St. Lucia, West Indies, an American couple, Jamie Elliott and her husband Paul, have just moved to the island to commence a new chapter in their lives.
Immediately upon arriving in St. Lucia, Jamie has this bizarre feeling that she had been here before but cant quite put her finger as to why she has this unsettling flash of recognition. As the couple are being driven to their rented cottage, they witness an auto accident. Jamie jumps out of the car to help some of the injured and once again experiences a perplexing feeling as she meets a good-looking man, who we later find out is Andre from the old and respected Demontagne and Diamant families.
These unaccountable emotions are further enhanced when Jamie meets Marcus and Bertille Deroche, who work for the Demontagne family and whose ancestors saved Andres maternal ancestors, the Diamant family, from the guillotine in Soufriere. Apparently, they also helped one of his paternal ancestors hide a fortune in diamonds.
All of this eventually plays out with a series of twists and turns, as Marcus reminds Andre that their families are entwined like a vine around a tree in the forest. They cannot part without the destruction of both.
A Dream Across Time is a wonderful love story to meander through. The narrative has a sense of mysticism and intrigue to it permitting its characters to become quite memorable with all of their unique idiosyncrasies and emotions. In addition, several themes are touched upon such as heritage, loyalty, integrity, and parental secrecy, wherein the motives are for self-protection or a desire to shield love ones from their past.
The authors engaging writing style along with their solid research of St Lucias culture, history and geography skillfully captures the tones and pacing of life on this island. Moreover, the use of the element of foreshadowing that continually alludes to something that will occur later in the narrative is cleverly interwoven into the plot. There certainly is ample in here to ponder about and yes, there is a sequel, as we cant wait to learn what happens to Andre, Jamie and all the rest of the characters?

MOUNT VERNON The Knox County Art League is excited to be part of this years Help-Portrait event to give back to the local community. On Dec. 8, photographers from around the world come together with hair stylists, makeup artists and other volunteers to provide something to those in need. Local event organizer Glenn Frye stated, This holiday season we have a chance to give a family something they may have never had before, a portrait together.
It's all about giving the pictures, not taking them, said Frye, explaining that none of the portraits will end up in a portfolio, on a website or be for sale. There is absolutely no money involved.
Help-Portrait was founded by celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart. To date there have been over 150,000 portraits provided by more than 35,000 photographers and volunteers in over 50 countries around the globe.
Last years event was the first year the Knox Count Art League Photography Group participated in this worldwide event. It was a tremendous success, said Frye, the art league was able to provide over 60 8-by-10 portraits in just four hours.
This years event will take place Saturday, Dec. 8, from 1 to 4 p.m. at St. Pauls Parish House, 100 E. High St., Mount Vernon.
The art league is looking for volunteers to be a part of this years event to use their time, gear and expertise to give back to the community.

The Honorable Louise Arbour on "The Responsibility to Protect"
In this video op-ed, the Honorable Louise Arbour, former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, shares her thoughts on the 2001 landmark report "The Responsibility to Protect", published by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty, led by Gareth Evans and Mohamed Sahnoun.
Published: Thursday, April 02, 2009
Watch this video and understand more about the topic of this year's 2009 Burkle Center Conference, The Future of the Responsibility to Protect. This conference will assess the prospects and pitfalls of R2P, and of humanitarian intervention more generally, in a post-Iraq world. R2P represents an important milestone in our understanding of sovereignty, intervention, and human rights. The goal of this conference is to consider the origins and likely trajectory of R2P, to take stock of lessons learned from past crises, and to explore the role of R2P with regard to current challenges in Darfur, Myanmar and Zimbabwe. Though our focus is not exclusively on the role of the United States, we are particularly interested--in light of both the legacy of the Iraq War and the interests and values of many members of the Obama administration--in what role R2P will play in American foreign policy over the next several years.
The conference will feature keynote speaker Gareth Evans, former Foreign Minister of Australia, Co-Chair of the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty, and President/CEO of International Crisis Group. Among our 21 participants are Gen. Wesley K. Clark (ret.), LA Times Columnist Doyle McManus, Senior Advisor on R2P at the UN Edward Luck, and numerous experts from around the country.

After eight great years and hundreds of thousands of delicious, local and sustainable farm-direct meals, Dressing Room Restaurant has closed. Founded by internationally renowned chef Michel Nischan and the late actor Paul Newman in 2006, the restaurant was Fairfield County's first farm-to-table restaurant.
We thank our customers who shared our passion and genuine interest in supporting regional growers and responsible farming methods. As a result of their loyal support, and the resulting successful 8-year run of the restaurant, there are now nearly a dozen farm-to-table restaurants gracing discerning Fairfield County palates while supporting Connecticut agriculture.
Dressing Room Restaurant received numerous awards and accolades in the local and national food press, including one of Condé Nast Traveler's "Top 95 New Restaurants in the World" (2006) and recognition for "The Best Burger in America" by Steve Raichlen, USA Today (2010). This is a testimony to meals made with the best locally grown, artisanal and organic foods. Yet, it reflects only one of Michel Nischan's many talents.
Family Matters!
Lori and I want to thank our talented staff and their families, whose selfless dedication to our cause made the vision a reality. Nearly every team member was with us from the very beginning, and each nurtured their guests with a sense of genuine hospitality not seen in many restaurants today.
Good Food for All
Nischan's belief that good food should be available to everyone, regardless of income, led to the creation of Wholesome Wave (www.wholesomewave.org). Founded in 2007, Wholesome Wave is a national non-profit organization that helps underserved urban and rural communities gain more affordable access to healthy, locally grown foods while supporting the small and mid-sized American farmers.
Wholesome Wave offers a variety of programs, including the Double Value Coupon Program, which doubles the value of Food Stamps when spent at farmer markets on locally grown fruits and vegetables. They have also designed a Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program to help Doctors and Primary Care Providers provide the resources so at-risk patients have the financial resources allowing them to consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Their Investment Program helps farmers and community members gain access to financing and equity for food businesses that provide affordable access to local foods. Wholesome Wave has been successfully operating in 28 states, including Connecticut.
"When Paul and I founded the Restaurant, we wanted to change in the way people thought about food. We believed that all people should be able to put the same ripe tomato on their family's table, regardless of their income." – Michel Nischan
Farmers' Markets
Nischan also founded the Westport Farmers' Market (www.westportfarmersmarket.com). The market allows Connecticut farmers and food producers to bring fresh foods to consumers, offering healthy choices while supporting sustainable, local food systems and celebrating true sense of place.
"Supporting local farmers' markets, wherever you live, makes good sense. It's a great way to feed your family well while supporting local farmers and producers. There is no better, more delicious way to create true local living economies." – Michel Nischan
Advocating for the Common Good
Nischan recently expanded his foray into the world of cause by co-founding the Chefs Action Network, brainchild of Eric Kessler, a James Beard Foundation Trustee (www.jamesbeard.org). The national network will support chefs devoted to cause by providing them the tools, training, and networking support to help them become effective advocates.
The Next Chapter
"Lori and I will always hold Dressing Room Restaurant dear in our hearts. Our talented culinary and service team made it one of the most amazing restaurants ever to grace Connecticut. We operated as a family unit, bonded together by a strong set of core values and love of good food. With a more deeply dedicated focus on Wholesome Wave to provide fresh food to underserved communities, I am proud that more people will have access to amazing meals. We encourage you to support farm-to-table restaurants, farmers' markets, and healthier food choices. After all, it's all about food. Good, pure, affordable, wholesome, delicious, local food. For everyone!" – Michel Nischan

Also-the section of the fence that runs alongside and in dangerous proximity (a matter of 30-40 m) high road 6 was constructed in the form of wall to prevent sniping and other harassments of the traffic on the road.It seems that nothing convinces those haters and they will continue thier virulent hatred.

Who knows how big. Some think the band went out at the top as Southern rock was beginning to wane. How would Skynyrd have changed with the times? Would they have gone disco like the Stones did in an attempt to roll with times? Doubtful Ronnie would have since he said in Jacksonville Kid that you can keep your disco and high heeled boys. Ronnie apparently did not like the changes he was witnessing in music at the time of his death. Who knows how big they could have been or where they would have gone if the plane crash had not happened. All speculation at this point.
