Scissor Jack saves a lot of time when working "blind" inside of a guitar, a great idea. A little over priced though.
Doesn't get a whole lot of use in my shop, but I don't think there's anything I could use to replace it. Excellent design and execution.
I used it to support a bridge i glued on a guitar with a offset sound hole. It worked like a charm.
Just used this for the first time in a position inside an archtop guitar at which the "remote control" extension cable was essential. It worked well but I found that with the "remote control" you can achieve very limited torque/pressure with the jack.
I've been trying to get by for years with those turnbuckle-style jacks, but I wanted better control.
This thing is great! I use this on my neck-jig and for proping up tops on acoustics with ease and precision! Wish I could afford a couple more of them.
We use this jack everyday to jack up the headstocks on our neck jig. It is a great design, but the pivot pins with the clips are weak. Drop it a few times and it falls apart. We changed all the pins out for machine screws with nuts and it stays nice and tight. I'm glad to have it, and if it came with screws and nuts it would be a solid 5 stars. Also, if you only use it lightly, you'll probably never have a problem.
Flexible extension cable could be a few inches longer. Works very well. Will be getting another soon
I used it ten minutes after unpacking it! I needed to push out an endblock on a guitar that had been dropped, in order to align it with the top for gluing. I made up some spacers that bore against the neck block and the end block, cut such that the scissor jack was centered conveniently within the dimiensions of the soundhole. It worked with an easily adjusted precision. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that neither the knob nor extension stays put on the shaft. It needs a ball detent or other solution for this, though I suspect a ball detent would add considerably to the cost of an already moderately expensive tool.
Although the knob and cable do fall off easily, when you get used to it it's so clever. Pity it's so expensive, I want a couple more!!
I found myself struggling quite a bit when it came to re-gluing bracing that was too hard to reach. I even tried to see if my wife could reach the lower bout bracing with the turn buckle style of jack, but there was no way, it was going to happen on this small Giblson guitar, I was working on. I finally decided to get one of the New Scissor Jacks and WOW! what a time saver.
I could really use a few of these to keep on hand for such hard to reach areas. It made the job of re-gluing not only possible, but done in a fraction of the time, even if I was able to reach the brace comfortably.
This is a great product!

Crowe was fired after 13 seasons as the Gamecocks' coach in November with two years remaining on his contract. The contract did not include a financial remedy in the event he was terminated without cause, and called for him to be reassigned to a comparable position reporting to the school's president in order to be paid any remaining salary.
In a negotiated release of his employment, under discussion since December and formalized at midnight, Crowe will receive the remaining full salary and benefits that were spelled out in his coaching contract, university President Bill Meehan said Friday.
The five-year contract signed in June 2011 called for an annual base salary of $162,000. JSU records for December indicate Crowe was receiving $14,530 a month in salary, which translates to nearly $175,000 annually.
"Jack wanted to be independent, and I understand that," Meehan said. "He has two years remaining on his contract for his salary and benefits; that's what the contract will pay for. This settlement releases the university."
The settlement will be made in two annual payments. This year Crowe will receive two checks, a lump sum for his annual leave and salary. Next year he will receive the salary payment. The money will be paid from university funds, Meehan said.
The Star has made an Alabama Open Records request to the university for a copy of the agreement.
Messages left for Crowe's attorney, David Smith, were not immediately returned.
Even while he was coaching Crowe remained president of Strategic Solutions LLC, a personal services and consulting company. He recently launched a website — and has another in the works — dedicated to offering "reference, insights and solutions" to what he calls all stakeholders of youth sports, largely relating to injury prevention and sports medicine education.
He recently spoke on CNN in response to President Barack Obama's recent comments of "thinking long and hard" about allowing any son he had to play football given the recent spate of high-profile head injuries in the game.
"This is not a departure, it's a return," said Crowe, formerly the executive director of the American Sports Medicine Institute before taking the JSU coaching job in 1999. "I've never been out of this.
"While I'm not working for Jacksonville State, but I do expect to be working with them."
Meehan said the university will have the same relationship with Crowe as it does its other vendors and providers.
At last month's JSU board of trustees meeting Meehan spoke of establishing a liaison between the university and sports medicine communities, of which Crowe, in his capacity as special assistant to the president, could be a part.
"Jack and I have been talking about it some time now," Meehan said. "He has a passion for it and we want to partner with his passion.
"I think it's an opportunity to really develop something here that helps the community and provides an opportunity for our students and others to be on something on the cutting edge in sports injury prevention."

WIGGLYNINE. Huehuehuehuehue. I wanted to do this too x]
I've also done Magnesect but I'll post that a bit later tonight cause it's special and will have a written part to it, teehee :3
(via aprilfoolromance-deactivated201)
Dr. William Forscher Experiment Log
Experiment #04781: Magnesect, the Mournful Pokémon.
Early research conducted on the evolution of Paras into Parasect and the process involved with its spores concluded that the spores themselves became the dominant life-source of the Pokémon upon growth. This information was first published by Professor Oak, creator of the Pokédex; however, it's theorized that early Pokémon masters had a rudimentary understanding of the relationship between the insect and its spores, given the often impersonal relationship maintained between most publicized Parasect trainers and their Pokémon. These trainers would often have strong bonds with their team, yet would utilize Parasect as a type of organic machine, rather than a living creature.
Further study into the curious nature of the Pokémon revealed that, upon evolution, the spores of the Pokémon seem to simply put it in a catatonic state. Though the mushroom does the primary 'thinking', the body is still alive in its most basic form, and is still capable and required to function as a living host in order for the spores to stay healthy and strong. It was observed that Parasect consume organic matter for its energy to revitalize the mushroom atop its back; ergo, it was hypothesized that the mushroom was supplying the Pokémon vital nutrients for survival.
In conducting Experiment #04781, our goal was to determine the effects of a living, conscious host integrated with its organic master. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to revive the creature within the mushroom— experiments which often resulted in the release of defensive toxic spores from its back— it was suggested that a secondary, non-organic host be spliced with the Pokémon to balance the attention of the controlling spores released into it. Magnemite was proposed as both an excellent non-organic Pokémon test subject as well as an acceptable power source to successfully revitalize the catatonic creature within the mushroom.
For the purposes of the experiment, we gave #04781 a name: Magnesect. This spliced Pokémon went through several variant degrees of applied electricity before a successful, living result was created. The Magnemite was spliced and dominantly maintained control of the creature's brain, purging the spores from within it. Its bolts were recreated and used to secure its mutated form in place within the Parasect's body. The strain of the machine on the Pokémon caused many fissures in its exoskeleton, exposing ligaments often associated with non-insect life.
For the Pokémon itself, the Parasect life-form is capable of seeing— visual electronic receptors installed within the body of the Magnemite that connect to its limited occipital lobe— and is capable of digesting food without the aid of the mushroom cap on its back. Injuries caused from the splicing have shown some consequence: the spores have increased in ferocity within the Pokémon, and are far more numerous. Despite our best efforts to maintain a consistent harmony between the influence of the machine and the mushroom's spores within the Pokémon, a constant battle for dominance between the two are observed within the Pokémon, with the life-form caught in the painful struggle.
Attempts to raise Magnesect have resulted in across-the-board failure. The Pokémon appears to be in constant, endless pain from these struggles. It seems to only eat via command of the machine and mushroom controlling it; when these influences are forced 'off', it ceases all function in an attempt to end itself through malnourishment. Its enhanced vision is put to little use due to visual warping caused by its perpetual tearing and cries. The only seeming benefit of this genetic splicing is the result caused upon the spores themselves: their viciousness and toxicity is unlike any other seen within the Pokémon world. It's as though it's attempting to adapt to the machine within the creature in an effort to purge it from— or envelope it into— the Pokémon's physiology.
Continued research and study is suggested: over time, the spores may well adapt into life previously unseen, and the Pokémon may be perfected into new form. With the influence of machine within it, it's entirely possible that a perpetual state of evolution may be attained over multiple generations. Currently, however, it is not recommended as a battle-ready Pokémon, unless put to use against opponents who utilize non-offensive strategies early in battle— again, the toxicity of its spores are truly amazing.
Submitted for your review. Attached is our suggested entry for our catalog of experimental Pokédex entries. This information is confidential, and should not be published to the National Pokédex.
Details regarding our other ongoing experiments forthcoming.
Pokédex Entry: Its pained cries are filled with sorrow. During battle, it seems to act more aggressive and desperate when its opponent is not attacking it.
Artist's Notes
I wanted to jump in and join the pokemon fusion fun :D Picked Magnesect because it looked really interesting and undead. To give it a nice touch, I requested by husband to put some background to it :]

Paul Horton believed a victory target of 336 from 85 overs was not realistic against Essex on the final day of their LV= County Championship fixture at Old Trafford.
Essex skipper Mark Pettini thought he was tempting the hosts when he declared within the first hour of play on the final morning with his side at 212-5 in their second innings.
Ryan ten Doeschate and Matthew Walker both completed half centuries, while left-arm spinner Simon Kerrigan claimed the only Essex wicket to fall when he had the former caught at long off by Steven Croft for 56 off 57 balls.
But Red Rose openers Luke Sutton and Stephen Moore indicated straightaway that they were not attempting to claim a fourth victory of the season with some watchful play.
Horton, who top scored with 64 as his side reached 177-5 from 83.4 overs, said: "336 in 80-odd overs batting last, we were never going to do that.
"Essex were never going to give us a realistic chase. It was always going to be too much looking at the way the scoring went through the course of the game. It wasn't an easy scoring sort of wicket."
Moore, having fully recovered from a bout of sickness on Tuesday's second day, was the first Red Rose wicket to fall in their second innings when he edged the accurate David Masters behind to James Foster for five in the ninth over.
Sutton and Horton then shared a second wicket partnership of 93 in 40, which all but ensured the draw with Lancashire taking six points into Saturday's Roses clash with Yorkshire at Headingley.
Ten Doeschate claimed Essex's second wicket in the latter stages of the afternoon session when Sutton edged behind to Foster for 26 off 155 balls.
Ashwell Prince, in his last innings at Old Trafford this summer, hit three fours and a six in a brisk 29 before he was caught at short leg by Billy Godleman off leg-spinner Danish Kaneria, and then Chris Wright struck twice in three balls.
He had both Horton and Croft caught behind by Foster in the 66th over to leave the score at 144-5, but even three wickets in ten balls was too little too late because Mark Chilton and Glen Chapple safely navigated the remaining overs.
Lancashire sit third in the Division One table behind Nottinghamshire and leaders Yorkshire, and Horton added: "We haven't lost for 16 games now, so to be able to keep that record intact is quite good. We had a few hiccups at the end, but still managed to get a draw out of it.
"It's a good starting point if you can become a hard side to beat. If you win some games, which we have, you are going in the right direction."

The Associated Press
CLEVELAND — A man charged with holding three women captive for about a decade had been accused of threatening his neighbors, attacking his common-law wife and committing violations during his career as a school bus driver, according to records released Monday.
Ariel Castro
The Cleveland police reports correspond with accounts provided by relatives of suspect Ariel Castro last week that portrayed a man prone to violent outbursts, especially when it came to the mother of his children and incursions onto his property.
Castro, 52, is charged with kidnapping and rape, but prosecutors expect to file more charges. The three women whom he is accused of holding captive disappeared between August 2002 and April 2004. They were rescued last week when one of them escaped the home.
The records released Monday were produced by police officers investigating complaints against Castro. They do not track what happened to the complaints after they were taken.
Several of Castro's relatives and acquaintances have said allegations of violence are at odds with the man they knew, whom they described as polite, a "cool" bass player and a "sweet, happy person."
A veteran defense attorney now representing Castro, Craig Weintraub, did not respond to phone and email messages Monday seeking comment on the current and prior allegations. A public defender had represented Castro at his initial court appearance but said she couldn't speak to his guilt or innocence.
Grimilda Figueroa called police and reported that Castro, her "common-law husband of nine years," attacked her after she asked him where he was going with one of his brothers. After slapping Figueroa several times, "he then grabbed her and slammed her several times against the wall and several times against the washing machine," according to the report.
Figueroa, who died of cancer last year, was treated at a hospital for a bruised right shoulder, the report said. She told police she had been assaulted by Castro several other times but didn't report it.
Figueroa was referred to the prosecutor's office, according to the report. There is no court record of any charge having been filed.
Two parents tried to board Castro's school bus because their son had been getting assaulted, records show.
The parents told police they had begun accompanying him to the bus stop in the morning. On that day, "another such incident occurred in their presence," the report said.
"At which time, they got on the bus to stop it. However were shoved by the driver," the report said. Castro claimed that the parent shoved him back into his seat.
There were no injuries reported, according to the report, which said the case was turned over to the Cleveland city schools. There's no court record of any charges.
Figueroa again reported Castro, telling police he threw her to the ground, hit her about the head and face and kicked her body. Her son then fled out the front door and Castro chased him, according to the report, which said Figueroa locked the door and Castro couldn't get back in. He ran away when police arrived, and was chased by officers through a neighboring yard and arrested, the report said.
Figueroa told police that she had brain surgery a month before the attack and was prone to seizures, but then refused medical attention.

The cases are particularly high-profile examples of the Communist government's attempts to stifle challenges to its authority on the Internet, which has emerged as a major avenue for dissent in the country of 87 million people. President Barack Obama has mentioned one of the defendants, and the mother of another died after setting herself on fire to protest her daughter's arrest.
The defendants, two men and one woman, are founding members of the "Free Journalists' Club," a group of citizen journalists who posted their work on the Internet. They were found guilty of spreading "propaganda against the state."
Nguyen Van Hai, who has written under the pen name Dieu Cay or "Tobacco Pipe," got 12 years, Ta Phong Tan received 10 years and Phan Thanh Hai got four years, according to defense lawyer Ha Huy Son.
The trial in Ho Chi Minh City lasted less than six hours. The country regularly convicts dissidents, and sentences have generally been around five years.
The United States, which is seeking closer economic ties with Vietnam but is also pressing it on human rights, said it was "deeply troubled" by the convictions.
"These convictions are the latest in a series of moves by Vietnamese authorities to restrict freedom of expression. The Vietnamese government should release these three bloggers, all prisoners of conscience, and adhere to its international obligations immediately," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement.
She said that free media is essential to an open and free society, and protection of human rights "a necessary step in developing a closer, more mature bilateral relationship."
Obama mentioned Nguyen Van Hai's case in a May speech that called for greater freedom for media around the world. The blogger had criticized the government for its handling of tensions with neighboring China over disputed islands in the South China Sea.
Tan, a former police officer, wrote a blog called "Justice and Truth" that criticized police abuse of power. Her mother set herself on fire in protest of the case in late July.
International rights groups have condemned the trial and called for the release of the defendants.
"These harsh sentences against bloggers are absolutely outrageous, and show the depth of the Vietnam government's intolerance of views that oppose its own," said Phil Robertson from Human Rights Watch. "Today's sentences show how deep-seated the Vietnam government crackdown on basic human rights really is."
Associated Press writer Matthew Pennington in New York contributed to this report.

"The quality of the card is great! The pictures on the card are beautiful! Guests who received invitations called me up to tell me how beautiful they are! I was also very happy with the service of Tiny Prints, they were delivered very quickly! Thank you very much!"
"I have received so many compliments on the invitation I have sent out, the font and the word baptism makes this card look very elegant. I did however change the font of the information text as I prefer all capital letters. In all, I would highly recommend this invitation. Make sure you get a nice close up of your little one."
"Let's face it, when someone receives an invite with a baby's picture on it, they're not even looking at anything but the baby. That said, I had several compliments on both the picture and the card! Considering the picture came from an iPhone, I was impressed. Quality (for the price!) and design were great! A perfect invite for my son's baptism. When I purchased this card, there was only one review and it was negative regarding the quality but I went for it anyway because I've always had luck with TinyPrints products. This was no different--being at the lowest price range, this is a great invite and I highly recommend it! I used a black and white picture and it pairs beautifully with the design of the card!"

okay…. i would give cassie a chance if she served the right type of music…
i dont see anything wrong with her soft voice… its pretty. kind of like jhane.
Recent comments by man go head, go head, go head.
- New Music: Sevyn Streeter – It Won't Stop
I absolutely love her voice! Every song she does with Chris Brown stays on replay! (Perfume, The Cadillac song)
As far is the song goes… I like it more than her first single!
GOOOO Sevyn! Im rooting for you!
- Rihanna Thinks JR Smith Is 'Desert Thirsty'
Sigh… Had it been any of the other regular celebs on this site they would've been called childish, immature, fake, a hypocrite…etc…etc…
But because its rihanna…. It's "yaaa.aa.sss she's so real" the commenters on this site kill me!
- Rick Ross' Delayed Apology Cost Him A Few Million
Unfortunately I dont follow alot of rappers music… If it doesnt make any sense to me… You wont catch me bumping it. If a rapper says something I dont care for I wont listen to them at all thats my way of protesting. (i.e. Rick Ross)
I think the difference between this particular song lyric and other unsavory song lyrics is this one was brought to the attention of many people. If someone wouldve brought this much attention to biggie when he was talking about raping kids and throwing them off of bridge he wouldve gotten the same response.
people cant rally around things they know nothing about.
- Rick Ross' Delayed Apology Cost Him A Few Million
Lmbooooo! Meek irks the hell out of me…. He came to my school for homecoming, he was rude. I watched his movie on BET, I hated it. And EVERYTIME he is in the media its for him saying some dumb ignorant mess. Not to mention, he is not that great as a rapper… I wish he would crawl back under that rock in philly that he came from.
- Rihanna And Ciara Continue To Take Pot Shots At Each Other
*Please Excuse the Childish thoughts… lol!*
But Ci should post a pic of her and chris' performance on IG and caption it "#TBT BET Awards, good times" ohhhh that would be priceless!
However, shes a grown woman and I admire how maturely shes handling the situation in comparison to rihanna.

There also could be quarterback competitions in Minnesota and Tennessee. Although Ponder will be starting the season with the Vikes, few would be surprised to see Cassell taking the snaps in December. And I've actually heard a couple of analysts surmise that Fitzpatrick could be the Titan's starter, ahead of Jake Locker. Back in Minnesota, the competition between McLeod Bethel-Thompson and Joe Webb for the #3 slot will be generating local interest.
Position battles to watch this summer
Minus a few tweaks here and there, either via trade or by picking through what's left in free agency, NFL rosters are somewhat set for minicamps. With that in mind, we take a look at a dozen of the more fascinating position battles set to unfold before the regular season kicks off …
BURKE: Each team's most pressing question
• T.J. Graham vs. Marquise Goodwin, Da'Rick Rogers and Robert Woods, WR, Bills: In the span of one draft weekend, the Bills went from being extremely thin at wide receiver to having an exciting young nucleus.
The Bills could employ a lot of three- or four-receiver looks again this year, with Graham (31 catches in 2012) or Goodwin out of the slot. Woods might have the inside track on the No. 2 spot, opposite Stevie Johnson, but Rogers, an undrafted free agent, is one of the biggest wild cards in the league heading into the summer.
• Jon Bostic vs. D.J. Williams, MLB, Bears: Who gets the job of replacing legendary ex-Bear Brian Urlacher in the middle of this defense? Williams, signed away from Denver, was the odds-on favorite heading into the draft. There, though, Chicago used a Round 2 pick on Bostic.
Both players could wind up on the field — if Bostic wins the job in the middle, Williams and James Anderson may engage in a second position battle at strongside linebacker.
• Jarvis Jones vs. Jason Worilds, OLB, Steelers: Longtime Pittsburgh edge rusher James Harrison will be wearing a Bengals uniform in 2013, leaving the Steelers to fill the void he left behind.
Worilds alone left them in pretty good shape — the 2010 second-rounder had 5.0 sacks last season and started in place of an injured Harrison three times. Pittsburgh added to its arsenal in Round 1 this year, nabbing Jones after he tumbled down the board a bit. LaMarr Woodley has the other OLB spot locked down, so Jones and Worilds are scrapping for one spot.
• Johnthan Banks vs. Eric Wright, CB, Buccaneers: Wright struggled last year, then earned a four-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy. He still could retain the No. 2 job, with new arrival Darrelle Revis as the team's lock-down No. 1 guy, though Wright will have to earn it.
That's because Banks comes in after Tampa Bay selected him No. 43 overall and ought to have a chip on his shoulder — he was projected as one of the top two or three corners in the draft, only to slide into Round 2, behind his own college teammate, Darius Slay.
Of course, playing in a division against Atlanta, Carolina and New Orleans, the Buccaneers may need Banks, Revis and Wright all on the field together plenty.
• Isaiah Pead vs. Daryl Richardson and Zac Stacy, RB, Rams: Most NFL teams require at least two viable options at running back to survive the 16-game grind. Still, someone from this group is going to grab the lead as the Rams' go-to guy in clutch situations.
Richardson has the statistical edge, after rushing for 475 yards on 98 carries while spelling Steven Jackson last season. But Pead could be the favorite for the gig — during Peter King's Super Bowl tweetup, ESPN's Adam Schefter dubbed Pead his pick for breakout star of 2013. Then there's Stacy, the 160th overall pick, who's comfortable on all three downs.
• Reed Doughty vs. Bacarri Rambo and Phillip Thomas, S, Redskins: The Redskins badly needed to address their safety spot in the draft, and did so by selecting Rambo (Round 6) and Thomas (Round 4). Thomas could start from Day One at the free safety spot — Doughty is the highly replaceable incumbent there.
Rambo, meanwhile, could challenge either at free safety or strong safety, where Brandon Meriweather is expected to start. The Redskins have left open Rambo's projected position thus far, and his versatility might make him valuable at both safety spots.
• Marshall Newhouse vs. Derek Sherrod, RT, Packers: One of a number of tackle battles just in the NFC North alone — Detroit's trying to figure out its situation, and Chicago may still bail on J'Marcus Webb.
In Green Bay, however, it's Newhouse and Sherrod duking it out (with Don Barclay in the mix, as well). Newhouse started all 16 games for the Packers last season, but did so on the left side, where Green Bay is moving Bryan Bulaga in 2013. Sherrod did not see any action after breaking his leg late in the 2011 season.
• Connor Barwin vs. Trent Cole and Brandon Graham, OLB, Eagles: Two of these three guys should start outside in the Eagles' 3-4 defense. But who's going to be the odd man out? Cole started 16 games for the Eagles last year, while Graham stepped in and delivered 5.5 sacks after inheriting a starting role late. Despite those numbers, Philadelphia still went out and handed $36 million to Barwin in free agency, a hint that the front office did not want to rely on the Cole-Graham combo.
• Jason Campbell vs. Brandon Weeden, QB, Browns: Before anyone argues that Weeden is the better play for the Browns' future, allow me to point out that Campbell (31) is just two years older than Weeden (29). Sure, it's probably now or never for Weeden — but what if the Browns have decided already on "never"?
Campbell reportedly will be given a "legitimate chance" to wrestle the No. 1 job away. And while none of his career numbers really jump off the page, Campbell did post an 11-7 record as the Raiders' starter from 2010-11. Cleveland is not nearly as far from being competitive as it has been in recent seasons. Don't be surprised if new coach Rob Chudzinski chooses the veteran here.
And a quick mention of the other QB duels: Buffalo (Kevin Kolb vs. E.J. Manuel), Jacksonville (Blaine Gabbert vs. Chad Henne) and the Jets (Mark Sanchez vs. David Garrard and Geno Smith), for starters, all face decisions on their No. 1 QBs.
• Erik Walden vs. Bjoern Werner, OLB, Colts: This ought to be an interesting one with Walden, arguably overpaid in free agency at four years and $16 million, taking on Werner, whom many thought should play DE in the pros. The winner gets to start opposite Robert Mathis at OLB in the Colts' 3-4 scheme.
Walden was underwhelming as a Packer, which is why Green Bay let him walk without any semblance of a fight this offseason. He could hold down the fort, at least early as Werner learns the ins and outs of playing linebacker.
• Drayton Florence vs. Josh Thomas, CB, Panthers: If the Panthers again fall out of contention in the NFC South, there's a good chance that their pass defense will be their undoing. Carolina's dearth of talent at safety was front and center in our pressing questions piece, and the cornerback spot may be just as troublesome.
For now, pencil in a starting duo of Josh Norman and Florence — yes, the same Florence who was cut by the Broncos late in camp and then wound up on injured reserve in Detroit. Captain Munnerlyn could see some starts, too, even if it's in the slot.
Thomas, a five-game starter last season in Carolina, might be the only one capable of shaking up the depth chart at all. The Panthers have to find some answers on their pass defense, so the door is wide open for someone to shine in camp.
• Anthony Fasano vs. Travis Kelce and Tony Moeaki, TE, Chiefs: The rookie, Kelce, could win the day here if he stays out of trouble and proves that he can block in Andy Reid's offense. He certainly has the highest upside here, especially with Moeaki continuing to deal with knee injuries.
Fasano has a pretty solid track record with 24 career touchdowns and 205 receptions, spread over seven seasons. Even so, neither he nor Moeaki creates the matchup problems for defenses that Kelce can.
BANKS: The biggest offseason hits, misses and everything else
There also could be quarterback competitions in Minnesota and Tennessee. Although Ponder will be starting the season with the Vikes, few would be surprised to see Cassell taking the snaps in December. And I've actually heard a couple of analysts surmise that Fitzpatrick could be the Titan's starter, ahead of Jake Locker. Back in Minnesota, the competition between McLeod Bethel-Thompson and Joe Webb for the #3 slot will be generating local interest.
If the BROWNS know what is good for them....they will choose Weeden off the bat and run with him. Everyone has seen what Campbell's ceiling is.....and it is as a backup QB.....He is slow to read plays, has an inaccurate longball, and has a slow delivery.
@fmfrijoles I can't imagine letting Campbell start. Campbell isn't even good enough to be a backup QB. Look at the tape from his 2012 CHI/SF start. This is what every game will look like; if he's your starting QB.
@SAN31 @fmfrijoles That doesn't make sense because if that's what every game would look like if he's the starting QB, shouldn't every game look like that? He's had more than 1 start.
@SAN31 @nfinitwordsfoto @fmfrijoles When you use the quantifier of "every" then that means you have to have 100% accuracy or you're wrong. You're wrong.
His record in Oakland was 11-7 by the way.
@nfinitwordsfoto @SAN31 @fmfrijoles Makes perfect sense to me; lets look at his other starts then? He was horrible in WAS and not that better in OAK. Sub .500 win/loss percentage and no playoff appearances. So; I'll stick with my original comment.
Still not sure what the Browns were thinking when they took Weeden in the first round. Taking a 5th or 6th round flier on a 28 y/o QB is fine but spending a first rounder (and the money) on a guy who has literally no upside and even if turned out to be solid at the pro level, is merely 4-5 years away from decline? And now they have a journeyman battling him to be the starter.
At least most of the other Brown's higher round picks have turned out pretty well in recent years but going without a franchise QB in the modern NFL is a complete killer.
They mention the Ravens under the heading, but I don't see any mention in the article.
Don't know how you leave off Jets QB from the list. I know that Tebow's gone, but still - Smith vs. Sanchez and the field will be interesting to watch, and if Rex Ryan goes with the rookie, I think it's pretty indicative that he's not feeling like he's in the hot seat.
@TheFraug It was mentioned briefly under the Campbell vs Weeden heading.

Robert Schwoerer was arrested in August after a woman said Schwoerer reportedly snatched $50 cash she was holding in her hand.
Originally he was charged with robbery and burglary, but the state amended the complaint following further investigation.

According to a plea agreement, the state is to recommend probation with admission to Western Regional Drug Court.

If globalization is to be a benefit and not a burden to humankind, it must be governed by global institutions that are perceived by all people to be democratic and just. But before we can create such institutions, we must imagine them, and that requires a rethinking and extension of normative political theory. Global Justice and Transnational Politics encourages and advances that work.
Since its appearance in English translation in 1996, Jürgen Habermas's Between Facts and Norms has become the focus of a productive dialogue between German and Anglo-American legal and political theorists. The present volume contains ten essays that provide an overview of Habermas's political thought since the original appearance of Between Facts and Norms in 1992 and extend his model of deliberative democracy in novel ways to issues untreated in the earlier work.

My 2 month old daughter seems to fall asleep easier on her tummy but I don't know when it's okay to do this for the night time. I try to lay her on her sides to change positions but she ends up on her back by the morning. I just want to make sure she doesn't spend too much time on her back (flat head). She does well on tummy time, lifts head, pushes up and looks side to side. She's already rolled over (only twice).
It is recommended to put infants "back" to sleep for the first year. When she is rolling well she may begin sleeping on her tummy even if you don't put her down that way. At that point, she will be at a decreased risk for SIDS due to having better head and neck control. You might try swaddling her well to give her the cozy affect that she is seeking when lying on her tummy.
My girls would only tolerate sleeping on their back or sides for a few weeks after they were born, so I let them sleep on their tummies when they made it clear they would not tolerate it any other way. The decision was supported by some and not by others. I agree with BabyNurse that it becomes less of an issue once they can roll over on their own (there's not much you can do at that point).
I completely agree - check out information on "cot wrapping" in New Zealand. Doctors down there have discovered that SIDS is caused by antimony and arsenic gases being released from our fireproof crib mattresses. My son prefers his tummy - will only sleep 10-15 minutes any other way. His mattress is wrapped and I know he is not exposed to toxic fumes. When he was in the hospital, they always rotated him with positioners on his sides and his tummy - NEVER was he put on his back for the 8 weeks he was there....
Luckily for us our daughter didn't mind sleeping on her back when we laid her down. But as she grew older she would "flip" herself onto her stomach. We worried about it, but their were no bumpers in the crib (when she was in one) and in the bed we could easily keep an eye on her. Soon she could roll herself back over (and then began a fun new game of tossing in her sleep beside us ) and we began to worry less. If you're very worried, set up a monitor near her and crank it up until you can hear her breathing - that always made us more comfortable early on.

AcademicsEmma Park - Classics
Emma Park, Marlboro's 29th Classics Fellow, is currently enrolled in the M.St. program in Classical Languages and Literature at Corpus Christi College of the University of Oxford. She is attracted to Marlboro's interdisciplinary approach because of her own master's dissertation comparing Lucretius and Plato. Her work incorporates philosophy, literary criticism, Greek and Latin, and the evolution of ancient culture from the sixth to the first century BC. She plans to continue this scholarship in her future doctorate, incorporating Western reception of the two authors through the centuries, and analyzing their works using aesthetic theories.
Emma's own experience as a student in the Oxford tutorial system has taught her the value of a good relationship with the tutor to motivate and inspire learning. She will teach both Latin and Greek, and offer a two-part course in literature and philosophy, studying their interdependence over the classical period.

Bejarano, Miller Win Jockey, Trainer Titles
Entire End-of-Season release package available in pdf format here.
At mid-season, pursuit of the 2012 riding championship was a three-way battle among Rafael Bejarano, Garrett Gomez and Joe Talamo.
A short time later, with a burst of victories, Bejarano was alone and in control atop the standings en route to his second Del Mar title and first since 2008.
The 30-year-old Peruvian finished the 37-day season with 52 victories, nine more than runner-up Joe Talamo who was four in front of Garrett Gomez.
Additionally, Bejarano won 13 stakes, bettering the record of 12 shared by Laffit Pincay, Jr., Chris McCarron, Gary Stevens and Corey Nakatani. Talamo, second to Joel Rosario for most wins last summer, also had a successful season and won his 12th stakes of the season when he rode Dry Summer to victory in the Oak Tree Juvenile Turf Wednesday.
The race for leading trainer came down to the final day of the meeting, Wednesday. With three winners on closing day, Peter Miller captured his first Del Mar conditioning championship, edging out Bob Baffert, 21-20. Doug O�Neill, suspended since August 19, was third with 18 victories, three ahead of John Sadler.

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary All-Star Gala
Show type: Montreal 2007
Twenty-five years of tradition continue at the St. Denis Theatre when Just For Laughs celebrates its 25th anniversary.
, Tommy Tiernan
Original Review:
What better way to start a gala celebrating 25 years of one of the worlds most prestigious comedy festivals than a DJ? Heres an idea: some comedy, maybe?
Skilful though Kid Koala is, a youngster scratching a record backwards and forwards isnt exactly a gripping spectacle for the 2,000 or so people packed into Montreals Theatre St Denis. Theres a reason why raves arent generally all-seated affairs.
As for the stand-up, Lewis Black got that under way with his angry liberal take on US policies. Disappointingly, most of this got no further than George Bushs stupidity, thought his description of the flawed plans for an anti-immigration wall along the Mexican border provided some decent laughs. Often, though, the real news from Capitol Hill is often so unbelievably daft, he only has to repeat it with an indignant splutter to get results.
Thank you Montreal, goodnight, he concluded emphatically. Then after the valedictory applause died down, have to walked six metres to his right and introduce the next act, as if his farewell hadnt just happened. Well, thats whats going to happen with every act when you dont have a compere.
Curb Your Enthusiasms Susie Essman, fresh from a disappointing appearance at the Newbury Comedy Festival, again struggled to adapt her ribald club act for a restrained theatre crowd. With the festivals strict time constraints, she was focussed on her material over banter, and restrained her language, even if filth was still, essentially, the order of the day. She has a couple of nice lines in the sexual advice she wants to give to her teenage stepchildren, but mostly its the shallow comedy of talking dirty, rather than much in the way of wit.
She also had the task of introducing a video tribute to Richard Jeni, who committed suicide this year, featuring some of his best clips from previous festivals. Jenis brother also paid his respects to this much-missed comic.
Master improvisers Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood stepped up the energy, thanks to a couple of reluctant volunteers they teasingly embarrassed. Finding they were called Heather and Paul provided an instant McCartney-related gag to prove the quick-thinking abilities of the Whose Line Is It Anyway alumni.
The victims job was to provide sound effects for a spontaneous scene in this case two basket-weavers on a crocodile hunt which became an increasingly tall order. Early gags werent specific to this scenario, suggesting some of it might not be entirely off-the-cuff, but the energy and freshness the duo brought to the stage livened up the show.
Dom Irrera has been coming to Just For Laughs for longer than anyone would care to remember, and the early clips of a slimline performer delivering an atypical set basically a list of euphemisms for various biological functions was an eye-opener. 'I dont talk that way, do you? was his catchphrase, back in the day. As a festival stalwart, he was given the awkward task of combining his own set with three video clips of past festival highlights, which he managed well.
Interestingly, all three clips were of British acts: the late Malcolm Hardee in the Greatest Show On Legs balloon dance (which was, bizarrely nominated for a Canadan TV award at the time up against Celine Dion); Chris Lynham with a Roman candle up his backside; and Jerry Sadowitz being attacked on stage. And it was fascinating to see footage of one of the most talked-about incidents in stand-up. For the record, Sadowitz was slating Quebecs French speakers (this was a while after he said hello, moose-fuckers which urban legend has as the provocation), when a man walked calmly in from the side of the stage; punched him a couple of times in the head; then drove him head-first into the solid backdrop like a battering ram.
Andre Philippe Gagnon is a Vegas star, and looks every bit the part coiffured hair, permatan and dazzling white teeth. He tells us hes going to perform a mini-musical, and the scorchingly topical subject hes chosen? Bill Clinton getting his end away. But before you can say hack, hes launched into this one-man song-and-dance spectacular. While the comedy is utterly lame hes marginally changed the lyrics of a few hits to fit the occasion its hard not to be blown away by his voice. Everyone from Tears For Fears to Otis Redding is impersonated faultlessly, and the force of the performance is irresistible. Its unadulterated entertainment, if not particularly funny. You see why Vegas loved him.
One of the few stand-ups to match a delivery of that power is Tommy Tiernan. This theatre is intimidating, vast and soulless, and has proved a graveyard for many a fine comedian. Tiernans the only stand-up Ive seen not only succeed, but absolutely tear the room apart, with a performance a few years back so breathtaking he left a palpable vacuum when he left the stage. And blow me if he doesnt damn near do it again tonight.
The vigour he puts into the performance is astonishing. Whereas most comics stay pretty much rooted to the spot, delivering their lines carefully, Tiernan rants and raves, racing across every inch of the stage, arms flailing demonstratively. He shouts himself hoarse and gasps for breath after draining his heart and soul of every last joule of energy.
With conviction and passion somewhere between a televangelist and a drunk shouting at the bins, he tears into creationists with a fierce wit and an unflagging ability to act out any scenario thats called for. Its another tour-de-force performance from a class act who always makes a mark.
Headliner Russell Peters could only suffer in comparison. Hes one of Canadas biggest stand-up stars, thanks to his accessible, unchallenging brand of observational comedy. Here, he served up extracts from the full-length show he brought to the festival, focussing very much on the hairiness and penis size of his fellow Indians. His material generally strike a chord, and is always expertly delivered with an easy charm, but it tends to be solid and professional, rather than thrilling. That, however, is what people want, and what Just For Laughs for the large part provides.
Its why its existed for 25 years. That and the ability to both attract superstar names and break new talent. Heres to another 25 years of that.
