Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rich, yet always elegant, this has raspberry flavor and terrific acidity that creates tension, contrasting with the opulent fruit. While it's structured, it will soften and round out over the next five years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina is utter perfection in the glass – an awesome wine both comparable to and eclipsing the otherworldly 2003. Saturated purple to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of incense, fruitcake, blackberry and black cherry notes with some subtle roasted herbs,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Austere wine, its tannins pushing forward to give power and structure. It is dense, concentrated, with layer upon layer of bitter coffee and dark fruit flavors, acidity and sweet tannins."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A severe, austere wine that doesn't show its richness easily. The tannins are tight and firm and they dominate. Underneath is ripe fruit, the balance with tannins giving a foursquare, solid character. The wine is complex, spice playing with the fruit, some medicinal flavors and a definite..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is not a big Château Margaux, its style showing more elegance and discretion. The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavors. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. The wine..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Dense purple to the rim, this wine exhibits the classic cassis aroma that is so characteristic of Mouton. Medium to full-bodied, tannic, powerful, and cut somewhat from the 1988 mold, this is a backward, chewy, well-endowed Mouton-Rothschild that will require considerable patience from those who..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A somewhat under-the-radar La Mission, the 2006 was generally overlooked following the brilliance of the 2005. A young, dense purple-hued wine that is developing beautifully, it exhibits notes of Asian plum sauce, charcoal, barbecue smoke, roasted meats, graphite and background oak. Full-bodied..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Latour (the first wine made in the newly renovated cellars) exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet, expansive bouquet of black fruits and spring flowers interwoven with a striking minerality. The wine's dense, medium to full-bodied flavors are surprisingly evolved, with..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bottled very late (November, 1997), the 1995 has continued to flesh out, developing into one of the great classics made under the Mentzelopoulos regime. The color is opaque ruby/purple. The nose offers aromas of licorice and sweet smoky new oak intermixed with jammy black fruits, licorice, and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "One of the greatest young wines I have ever tasted, the monumental 2009 Cos d'Estournel has lived up to its pre-bottling potential. A remarkable effort from winemaking guru Jean-Guillaume Prats and owner Michel Reybier, this blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot (33%) and a touch..

Sun-Thu 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Far North Dallas
This gussied-up chain bustles with singles and families craving Chinese food favorites. – In Short
Towering twin stallions and carved wood screens add majesty and mystery to this stylish restaurant, where well-dressed patrons sip martinis at the bar and families with children feast around large tables or in spacious booths. The menu gives Chinese classics a contemporary tweak; dishes are artfully presented, with many sauces made tableside by servers. Signature plates include diced chicken wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, orange-peel beef with chili peppers, and wok-fried scallops with lemon sauce.
Great healthy food, wonderful atmosphere – I recently sat at the bar for dinner and enjoyed fabulous service and wonderful tasting food. My waiter explained how food prep is done with utmost attention to quality and I believe it. I have eaten at many PF Chang's restaurants and they are generally very consistent in quality -- high quality. The wine by the glass selection is also very good.
Garden of Eden Experience – All three dishes tasty! The Hot Fish and the cool lettuce wraps had me singing with each bit. Dining out in the open of nature with a nice breeze, and a tall, handsome, knowledgeable waiter made my first visit a treasure to remember.
Simply the Best – I am just in love with eveything they offer!!!! highly recommended!!!! Specially the Chicken Lettuce Wraps they are awsome and the Hot Fish is to die for!!!
No way could be the best in Dallas, or in any city. Not worth dining at. – PF Change is horrible. It is one of the worst chain restaurants I've been to. The food is bland, the menu is lacking, and it is WAY overpriced. Absolutely not worth the trip.
Best in Dallas? Puh-lease – How sad that a city that prodes itself on fine dining could possible vote this FACELESS CORPORATE CHAIN "Best Chinese in Dallas". McChang's offers very pedestrian everything, but perhaps it's the seriously misinformed crowds that wait 45 minutes for the very so-so, unimaginative, and rather un-chinese menu that make everyone think this place is worth raving about. If you truly like chain Chinese, here's a clue: Pei Wei is the exact same thing, but cheaper and with no wait. A friend calls Chang's the "Olive Garden of Chinese Cuisine", but that just makes me scared to see what pops up when i search for "Best Italian in Dallas".
Just My Opinion – The crab wontons were delicious & tasteful. The Beef with broccoli was the best I have tasted & I have tasted many. Their lettuce wraps are to die for. And their fried rice was perfect. They are a bit pricy but then you get what you pay for. I reccomend anyone try it at least once & form your own opinion.
Expensive fake chinese food – Comparing with a standard good chinese restraunts, their food is terrible, and way over price. For real food lover, I would not recommend this restraunt. They are just for the look. Honestly, I can make fried rice better than those guys. Fried rice is the basic of chinese food. if they can't even do a good job on that. They are not worth trying. stay away from them. It's just another fake chinese restraunt trying to rib off people.

text: Bybee Pottery of Bybee, Kentucky, was started by Webster Cornelison. The company claims it started in 1809, although sales records were not kept until 1845. The pottery is still operated by members of the sixth generation of the Cornelison family. The handmade stoneware pottery is sold at the factory. Bybee Pottery now makes utilitarian and decorative wares by grinding local clay in an antique mill, and shaping it by hand on a potter's wheel. Various marks were used, including the name Bybee, the name Cornelison, or the initials BB. Not all pieces are marked. A mark shaped like the state of Kentucky with the words "Genuine Bybee" and similar marks were used by a different company, Bybee Pottery Company of Lexington, Kentucky. It was a distributor of various pottery lines from 1922 to 1929.

The "Net Asset Value" (NAV) of a Market Vectors Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is determined at the close of each business day, and represents the dollar value of one share of the fund; it is calculated by taking the total assets of the fund, subtracting total liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.

The E-Voting Battle - Prof. David Dill (Stanford), Distinguished Lectures in Computer Science
Distinguished Lectures in Computer Science
The E-Voting Battle
Prof. David Dill (Stanford)
After the 2000 Florida election fiasco, Americans were clamoring for
improved voting technology. By 2002, millions of dollars were available
from the Federal government and some state governments to help local
jurisdictions upgrade. But the planned "upgrades" to paperless electronic
voting machines would have resulted in a system where we had no idea whether
our leaders were selected by voters or by errors or malicious software in
voting machines. This led to an ongoing policy battle over voting
technology from 2003. Computer scientists and other technologists played an
important and unusual role in this debate.
I will describe the problem, the history since 2003, and where we stand
after the recent Presidential election.
David Dill has been on the faculty in the Computer Science Department at
Stanford since 1987. He worked for many years in formal verification of
hardware, software, and protocols, but his major research interest now is
computational biology. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and ACM.
Prof. Dill has been working on policy issues in voting technology since
2003. He is the author of the "Resolution on Electronic Voting", which calls
for a voter-verifiable audit trail on all voting equipment, and which has
been endorsed by thousands of people, including many of the top computer
scientists in the U.S. He has served on the California Secretary of State's
Ad Hoc Task Force on Touch-Screen voting. He has testified on electronic
voting before the U.S. Senate and the Commission on Federal Election Reform,
co-chaired by Jimmy Carter and James Baker III. He is the founder of the
Verified Voting Foundation and VerifiedVoting.org and is on the boards of
those organizations. In 2004, he received the Electronic Frontier
Foundation's "Pioneer Award" for "spearheading and nurturing the popular
movement for integrity and transparency in modern elections."

Despite all the actresses wearing revealing gowns at the Academy Awards ceremony this year, the biggest boobs at the event may have been Seth MacFarlane and the producer who approved his song, "We Saw Your Boobs." That's the gist of Jamie Lee Curtis's recent blog post lambasting the Oscar host's tune about seeing topless actresses in the movies.
"The Oscars are about honoring art and artists. It is not supposed to be a cheesy vaudeville show," wrote the daughter of Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh in HuffPo. She hinted some actors might boycott the ceremony in the future if it continues to be more roast than toast.The lyrics of the song included the lines: "In the movie that we saw, we saw your boobs. Meryl Streep, we saw them in 'Silkwood' and Naomi Watts in 'Mulholland Drive' and Angelina, we saw them in 'Gia.' Anne Hathaway, we saw them in 'Brokeback Mountain.' They made us feel excited and alive.'"
Though the "Halloween" star acknowledged that part of her successful acting career could be attributed to her hot body, she said she did not deliberately seek roles that exploited her physical assets. "I am an actress who has bared her breasts in films to satisfy the requirement of the role I was asked to do -- lucky to do, for in my case, those films were significant in my career," she wrote. "I didn't like doing it. I didn't ask if I could do them topless. I did what was asked of me for the part I was playing. Mostly asked by men."
Like Curtis, who is also the author of "My Mommy Hung the Moon" and nine other children's books, other Hollywood actresses have also commented on their ambivalence about doing nude scenes.
Sharon Stone claimed she was "manipulated and exploited" when she agreed to do the famous pantyless crossing-and-uncrossing-her-leg scene for her "Basic Instinct" role and felt tricked by an assurance the lighting would dim the details. Though she said she felt uncomfortable with the explicit nudity that appeared in the final cut, the actress was the thirteenth woman to be offered the part after the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer, Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts refused to do it, and she later willingly posed for Playboy. (Coincidentally, Jamie Lee Curtis also posed for Playboy.)
Meanwhile, when a reporter asked Halle Berry her feelings about appearing nude on screen in "Swordfish" and "Monster's Ball," the one-time Catwoman had opposite views based on each scene's artistic value to the movie. "(The nude scene in Swordfish) was very gratuitous and for shock value. The only justification I had was that I thought that woman would do that," she said. "But with Monster's Ball, without this scene, I think it would be a very different movie. I think it's a pivotal moment and from that moment on, you understand why these two people get together."

The Golden State Warriors acquired veteran point guard Steve Blake on Wednesday from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for guards Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks.
"The acquisition of Steve Blake will provide us with additional veteran depth at point guard as we enter the stretch run of the season," said Warriors general manager Bob Myers. "He's had a productive career and is a player who can both run an offense and has the ability to shoot the basketball.
"On the other hand, we thank Kent and MarShon for their contributions to our team both on and off the court and wish them success as they enter the next stage of their careers."
Blake was in uniform before Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets when he learned of the trade and began clearing out his locker.
The 11-year NBA veteran fills a need for the Warriors, who were looking for a facilitator to push All-Star guard Steph Curry into a more traditional shooting guard role. Curry dominates the ball in the Warriors' current lineup and coach Mark Jackson was concerned about Curry holding up physically.
Blake, 33, has appeared in 27 games (all starts) for the Lakers this season, averaging 9.5 points to go along with career highs of 7.6 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.26 steals in 33.0 minutes per game.
The Lakers have been a piecemeal outfit these days without Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash, their injured veteran backcourt.
Bazemore and Brooks will join the Lakers on Thursday.
Bazemore, 24, has appeared in 44 games with Golden State this season, averaging 2.3 points in 6.1 minutes.
Brooks, 25, was acquired by the Warriors from the Boston Celtics along with Jordan Crawford on Jan. 15 and has played in seven games with the Warriors after making 10 appearances with Boston. The third-year guard holds averages of 7.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 18.1 minutes in 146 career games with the Warriors, Celtics and Brooklyn Nets.

Very good parts, easy install. Guitar is now like new. Had to remove some wood in the control cavities due to larger size of pots than original.
Best wires for your Strat. Enjoy new sounds.
First off delivery was fast as always. The kit had what we needed to get a project finished and would be a great starter for anyone doing their first wiring job. The pots, switch and the wire are not the top of the line but they are very good and a significant upgrade for a low priced import strat. There are tons of Squires and other knock offs out there for next to nothing and it's fun to take one of these clunkers and experiment with it good teaching aid If you want to stay true to spec with a real vintage guitar or custom job by all means go with the vintage kit or get a supply of the cloth wire,pots and switches Stew Mac usually has discounts on multiple orders of the same Item. very happy as always and remember ......DAN is the MAN !
Having reported a faulty switch in my last review ... Stewmac have replaced it free of charged as promised. Thanks guys, now all is well!
It was never my intention to use all of the parts in this kit. But in the end only the pots and the jack remain in my guitar. The 5 way switch failed after only 2 weeks. First the neck pickup position became intermittent and a couple of days later all positions followed.
Alan Day,
We're sorry to hear the switch you received was defective. We'll have a replacement shipped out today.
I have bought several parts and built a guitar and a ukulele from Stewmac. Always receive good service, quality materials swift delivery. Thanks, will continue to do business.
i,m satisfild,good product,ok.
an affordable quality product. The switch was fine. i put them in a Cheap strat knock off not even a first act and they did wonders. even though they may not be the best parts ever they do the trick but you have to think, all this stuff would run you 40-50$ at the local guitar center for the price and all the parts it is worth every penny. now i got to work on my soldering skill hehe. Thanks stewmac
Tossed this in a heavily modified mid eighties squeir bullet. Not the greatest stuff, but still very good. Was slightly short on wire but thats probably because it wasn't a true strat I was working on.

Women frequently ask me what men find sexy. Clearly, no size fits all when it comes to matters of the heart. But from my experience, it's the little things we do that make men weak in the knees. (Unless you just booked a Victoria's Secret campaign – that works, too.) So I asked guy friends, boyfriends, gay friends and strangers for the little things that turn them on big-time. Here are 30 of their best answers.
1. Wear a sundress on a hot, sticky day. Bras need not apply.
2. Quote Anchor Man, The Big Lebowski or The Usual Suspects.
3. Use interesting vocabulary words in intellectual conversations.
4. Use inappropriate vocabulary words in sexy situations.
5. Bake him something – even if you end up with batter in the toaster and cupcakes that tastes like Play-Doh.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Two days ago, hot-swinging left fielder Jacque Jones was
miffed about not being in the Twins' starting lineup against Red Sox
knuckleballer Tim Wakefield.
"It's pretty cool," said Jones, who entered Monday's game with three homers
and 18 RBIs and a .353 average that is second best in the AL.

Selma Hortense Burke was born on December 31, 1900 in Mooresville, North Carolina, the seventh of ten children to Neal Burke and Mary (Jackson) Burke Cofield. Burke's interest in sculpting arose from her weekly Saturday whitewashing chores with a wash made of local clay. She discovered to her delight, that it could be molded into various whimsical shapes. Burke once recalled in Black Women in America: An Historical Encyclopedia, "I shaped my destiny early with the clay of North Carolina rivers. I loved to make the whitewash for my mother, and was excited at the imprints of the clay and the malleability of the material."
Burke's artistic interest was in part fostered by her grandmother who had been an artist, but also by her father, who, in addition to being a railroad brakeman and African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Zion minister, was a chef aboard several oceangoing ships. He acquired numerous artifacts throughout his travels to the Caribbean, Africa, South America, and Europe. Two of her paternal uncles collected carvings and other religious artifacts while performing missionary work in Africa. When they died in 1913, Selma's family received their effects, and the African artwork became part of Selma's world.
Burke attended the Nannie Burroughs School for Girls in Washington, D.C., until she was 14-years old. At this time, William Arial, a white educator and superintendent of schools, befriended and tutored her despite criticism from whites in their segregated community. In addition to encouraging her to pursue the arts, Arial became her first patron. Burke then attended Slater Normal and Industrial School in Winston-Salem, some 50 miles from home. After graduation from the St. Agnes School of Nursing at St. Augustine College in Raleigh, North Carolina, Burke became a registered nurse in 1924.
The following year, Burke moved to Philadelphia to begin her career as a nurse and enrolled in the Women's Medical College to further her education by learning operating room techniques. At the same time, however, she financed her artistic pursuits with her nursing income. Burke also rekindled a romance with a longtime childhood friend, Durant Woodward, then a mortician, who tragically died of blood poisoning only 11 months after their wedding. Burke, a woman of great determination, continued with her studies until 1929 when the president of the school recommended her for a private nursing position with the dowager heiress of the Otis Elevator Company in Cooperstown, New York.
Burke's four year position with the ailing heiress led her back to art. Her employer encouraged her to continue her artistic pursuits. Amid the Great Depression when her colleagues and peers were hungry and homeless, Burke remained unscathed, saving her money and becoming accustomed to the cultural life of New York City, where she frequented Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Opera. After the heiress's death in 1935, Burke moved to New York and immersed herself in the city's burgeoning artistic movement. In order to hone her skills as a sculptor and to help pay her bills, she took a job modeling at Sarah Lawrence College.
Soon after her arrival in New York, Burke met Claude McKay, a poet, writer, and major figure in the Harlem Renaissance. Along with Max Eastman, McKay also co-edited the avant-garde literary and political magazine the Liberator. Through him Burke made the acquaintance of many other notables, including poet Langston Hughes, singer/actress Ethel Waters, poet and civil rights leader James Weldon Johnson, playwright Eugene O'Neill, and Nobel Prize- winning author Sinclair Lewis. Although Burke and McKay's relationship was turbulent at best, the couple soon married.
Burke immersed herself in work. She soon received an art scholarship to Columbia University where she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1941. She also received $1,500 from the Julius Rosenwald Award for a paper she had written on sculpting materials. As her reputation grew, she also won the Boehler Foundation Award in 1936. As most artists did during that era, Burke journeyed to Europe in 1938 and traveled throughout France, Austria, and Germany. In Vienna, she studied ceramics with Polvoney, and in Paris studied the human figure sculpting with neoclassical sculptor Aristide Maillol.
Burke returned to New York confident in her talent as a sculptor, and dedicated herself to obtaining a degree in her first love--art. Unfortunately, Burke's marriage to Claude McKay became more unstable. They divorced, reconciled, and again divorced. Burke's dedication to her art carried her through the episodes of turmoil in her personal life, and she graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University in 1941. In November of the same year, Burke mounted her first exhibit with classical compositions at the McMillen Galleries in New York.
When World War II erupted, Burke joined the navy and drove a truck in the Brooklyn Naval Yard, because, as she said in the New Pittsburgh Courier "I felt that during the war artists should get out of their studios." Unfortunately, however, she injured her back and needed to be hospitalized. During her stay at the hospital in 1943, she heard of and entered a national competition to create a profile portrait of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt sponsored by the Fine Arts Commission in Washington, D.C. Burke was awarded the commission from a field of 11 other competitors--three of whom were black.
Burke originally had planned on creating the profile from photographs, but, unable to find an appropriate picture in newspapers or in library records, she wrote to the president requesting a sitting. President Roosevelt granted an appointment on February 22, 1944. Burke arrived at the White House with only some charcoal and a roll of brown butcher's paper and quickly produced several sketches. Burke once remarked on the encounter in the New York Times that she had been "so imbued with the greatness of the man that my first seven studies of him were so idealized they were not good."
The finished bronze plaque listed four freedoms above Roosevelt's face: freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of worship, and freedom of speech. It was then installed at the Recorder of Deeds Building in Washington, D.C. Prior to its installation, however, Eleanor Roosevelt and the members of the Fine Arts Commission were sought for approval. Burke remembered vividly Eleanor Roosevelt's criticism that the image looked too young. According to the New York Times, Burke responded, "I have not done it for today, but for tomorrow and tomorrow. Five hundred years from now America and all the world will want to look on our president, not as he was the last few months before he died, but as we saw him for most of the time he was with us--strong, so full of life, and with that wonderful look of going forward." On September 24, 1945, six months after President Roosevelt's death, Burke's portrait finally received a public viewing.
The source of Roosevelt's image on the dime has recently received much attention. John R. Sinnock, the chief engraver at the U.S. Mint, has his initials on the profile. The dime's head, however, is merely a mirror image of the plaque created by Selma Burke, with the exception of a few detail changes in the arrangement of Roosevelt's hair. Moreover, the National Archives and Records Administration of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, New York, stated that the dime portrait originated with the sculpture of Franklin Delano Roosevelt done by Selma Burke.
Determined that young minds would not be discouraged by lack of training or by lack of creative outlets, Burke launched a new career by teaching her craft in numerous schools, workshops, studios, and her own home. Her work at the Harlem Art Center in New York City influenced numerous nationally-recognized African American artists, including Robert Blackburn, Jacob Lawrence, and Ernest Crichlow. Burke also taught at a federally-sponsored Works Progress Administration (WPA) Program, the Friends Charter School in Pennsylvania, St. George's School in New York, and Old Solebury School in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, as well as Swarthmore College, Livingston College, the A. W. Mellon Foundation, and Harvard University. Students throughout the nation had the opportunity to hear Dr. Burke.
In October of 1949, Burke married Herman Kobbe, a famous architect and former candidate for lieutenant governor of New York. The couple soon moved to New Hope, Pennsylvania, long considered an artist's colony. Burke became active with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, appointed by, and serving under, three different governors. In fact, Governor Milton Schapp proclaimed June 20, 1975, to be Selma Burke Day in Pittsburgh in recognition of her contribution to the arts in Pennsylvania.
In the early 1950s, Burke's marriage to Herman Kobbe unfortunately ended with his death. Feeling a strong sense of responsibility and the need to return something to her community, Burke opened the Selma Burke Art Center in Pittsburgh, in order to answer the community's demand for more artistic resources. In addition, she founded the Selma Burke School of Sculpture in New York where she adopted the theme, "a place to grow and a place to show." Burke's facility lived up to its motto by offering both day and night classes in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, television production, and puppetry, as well as hosting exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and films.
In 1970, she earned a doctorate degree from Livingston College.
Before her retirement in the early 1980s, Dr. Burke's work appeared in over 25 individual and group shows. She was commissioned to create over 20 bronze and wood sculptures, and she received eight honorary degrees. Her works can be found in numerous private and public collections; several historically-black colleges and universities; the National Archives in Washington, D.C.; and at the U.S. Armory in New York. This American artist, as she categorized herself, summed up her life's work in Notable Black American Women: "I really live and move in the atmosphere I am creating." Dr. Burke died of cancer August 29, 1995, at the age of 94 near her retirement home in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
Her work history includes:
- Sculptor;
- A. W. Mellon Foundation Carnegie Institute, consultant, 1967-76;
- Sidwell School, Haverford Coll., Livingston Coll., Swathmore Coll., instructor in art and sculpture, 1963-76;
- Friends School, St. George's School, Forrest House, NYC, instructor in art and sculpture, 1930-49;
- Selma Burke School of Sculpture, NY, founder, 1940;
- Selma Burke Art Center Pittsburgh, founder, 1968.
The Pearl S. Buck Foundation Woman's Award was presented to her in 1987 for her professional distinction and devotion to family and humanity.
Notable works include Falling Angel; Peace; and Jim.
Her influences include Matisse and Frank Lloyd Wright. Selma Burke has received many awards and honorary doctoral degrees. Her pieces can be viewed in the Metropolitan and Whitney museums.
Selma Burke died of cancer August 29, 1995 in New Hope, Pennsylvania.

Last time I went (Cornelius) it was a rather unappealing wine bar, having devolved (or evolved) from a more traditional pub format a while ago. Or possibly as Dilly says above, it is empty. I remember them sending me to the off-license on a previous occasion so it is quite possible it is back to that.

About 20 years ago, it would've been crazy to take a stud running back prospect and even think of putting him at defensive back. These days, it's not such a bad idea.
College teams still need great running backs, but not as much as they once did. However, they need defensive backs in greater numbers than ever. With so many college teams running spread offenses designed to throw often and run as many plays as possible, defenses can't survive any longer by throwing four good defensive backs on the field and leaving them out there all day.
Colleges sometimes commonly use alignments that involve five or six players in the secondary. They aren't the same players every down, either. They might use as many as eight or nine defensive backs in a game.
As a result, every team in the Southeastern Conference has a defensive back or two who would've played running back or receiver 20 years ago.
There's a footnote to all of this, too — NFL teams need lots of defensive backs, too. If a guy is fast, he can play running back. If he's still fast when he's running backward, he can play defensive back and make a lot of money.

Point Spread: 0/-110 Oklahoma City
The Oklahoma City Thunder are my pick to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals. This young team is only going to be better this season after making it all the way to the conference finals before losing to eventual champion Dallas last year.
The Thunder have looked the part of West favorite right out of the gate, beating Orlando 97-89 on Sunday before opening their road slate with Monday's 104-100 victory over Minnesota. Meanwhile, Memphis turned the ball over 24 times in a sloppy 82-95 loss to San Antonio in their opener.
Oklahoma City is 30-14 ATS in their last 44 road games after playing a road game. The Thunder are 51-30 ATS in their last 81 games following a ATS loss, including 6-1 in their last 7 tries in this situation. OKC is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite of 0.5-4.5. Bet Oklahoma City Wednesday.

Met Curator to Speak at the Clark November 20
For Immediate Release
November 11, 2004
Maryan Ainsworth, curator of early Netherlandish art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, will speak at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Saturday, November 20, at 2 p.m. Her topic will be "Technical Aspects of Netherlandish Art," including infrared, radiography, and other techniques used to analyze centuries-old paintings. The lecture is offered in connection with the current exhibition Medieval Mystery: Who is the Master of the Embroidered Foliage? Admission is free.
Ainsworth is co-author of the catalogue From Van Eyck to Bruegel: Early Painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art and editor of the recent Early Netherlandish Painting at the Crossroads: A Critical Look at Current Methodologies. Her other publications include the book Art and Autoradiography: Insights into the Genesis of Paintings by Rembrandt, Van Dyck, and Vermeer.
Medieval Mystery: Who is The Master of the Embroidered Foliage? is on view at the Clark through January 2. The 15th-century Netherlandish painter known only as The Master of the Embroidered Foliage is best recognized for his panel paintings of the Virgin and Child. The virtually identical compositions depict Mary in voluminous robes, seated on a throne while the Christ child in her arms leafs through an illustrated manuscript. The backgrounds of these detailed panels vary greatly from landscape to city streets. All are rich in palette and pattern and are finely painted with great detail. Medieval Mystery brings together for the first time four of these works from public and private collections in the United States, Belgium, and France, including the painting from the Clark's collection. An innovative presentation encourages visitors to participate in solving the mysteries of this artist.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

I wasn't sure I would last for three months let alone three years. I have learned a lot during these past three years. I have wonderful readers who help me when I pose a question. My readers are always there to add information to what I have written. I am very thankful for all of you who have supported me in my blogging pursuit.
Another generous group is the geneabloggers group. Little did I know when I wrote that first blog post that I would find such a wonderful group of people to associate with. No matter what the question is, I have found supportive people to help me. I am truly grateful for that. I have met other geneabloggers at conferences, meet ups, and workshops. I am proud to be a part of it.
My blog has evolved through the years and I imagine it will continue to do so. The first year I was all over the place. I wrote my own family history posts, wrote about tips, technology, genealogy software, and local history. It was a hodge-podge of information.
The second year I tried to hone my writing skills and concentrate on telling family stories. I shared pictures and documents that I had found. I tried to concentrate on blogging about my ancestors. I didn't write as much about the other aspects of genealogy.
This past year I really paid attention to my writing and sourcing of family history material. I think I have finally found a balance between blogging and researching. Blogging has definitely made my research better. I even felt comfortable enough to start a second blog, "Journey to His Past". Ay yi yi! What was I thinking? I know what I was thinking and it was kind of selfish. I didn't want to share my blog with my husband's ancestors. I wanted a separate place to record the research I had done on his family.
What will Year four bring? I don't know, yet. I hope it will continue to bring new found cousins. I have been in contact over the past three years with a lot of cousins. I have gotten a family Bible, lots of pictures, stories, and more information than I dreamed possible. I only hope that I have been able to give back to those who have helped me. I hope it will bring more geneablogger friends that I can learn from and grow as a family history writer. Those connections are what makes blogging fun.
One of my worries that first week of March in 2010 was that I would not find enough to write about to keep a blog going. I haven't had that problem, yet. I look forward to sharing many more stories with you and thank you all for continuing on this journey to the past.

23-games into the season, the young Texas Longhorns basketball team has yet to make much progress with a 10-13 record.
Rick Barnes and his coaching staff had to alter the initial plan with the team before the season tipped off at the Maui Invitational to not include returning All-Big 12 honorable mention point guard Myck Kabongo.
Kabongo accepted $475 and personal training while on a trip to Cleveland, Ohio back in 2012.
Kabongo was punished by the N.C.A.A. by serving a 23-game suspension.
That suspension has been served and the sophomore point guard will play his first minutes of the season Wednesday night vs Iowa State at the Erwin Center.
The big question is, will Kabongo's return to the lineup be enough or make that big of a difference for Texas to salvage their season and make a run for postseason play?

Sonic Team in conjunction with Sega has put out yet another title in the Sonic Riders franchise. The racing hoverboard game,
Sonic Free Riders
, has taken heights to the motion control era with Microsoft's new Kinect technology. Playing as one of the many characters (such as Sonic the Hedgehog himself or Jet the Hawk) in one of four teams, players will embark on a racing competition in Dr. Eggman's World Grand Prix race for money and treasures (although, of course, not all is as it seems with Dr. Eggman's intentions).
What sounds like the perfect game for a motion control technology ultimately results in a frustrating battle against the game's mechanics. The very first irritable feature of the game that players will notice is the menu system. The Kinect boasts extremely
natural and intuitive usability
, but this is lost on some software products. Sonic Team certainly did not understand that the point was to make navigation easier, rather than make gamers want to swap discs before they've even started the game. Unfortunately, the menu style is incredibly indicative of the exacerbating gaming experience to come.
Once you finally trudge through a mundane tutorial session, hopes reemerge (for some unaccounted for reason) that the competitive races will not replicate the same simultaneously boring and unresponsive control of your hoverboard. Basic control requires players to bend their knees to direct their hoverboard, perform kick motions to gain speed (like a skateboard), and jump for tricks and coins.
Embarking on the World Grand Prix, I selected to play as Team Babylons first. A basic storyline is set in place and makes references to the characters and their known relationships, but I couldn't see beyond the fact that I constantly felt like I was struggling against my character. I am allegedly in control of the character on their hoverboard, but every movement feels like a delayed and inexact reaction.
The most exciting aspect of Sonic Free Riders is the many weapons and abilities available to you that can potentially add depth to the racing experience. You can throw many weapons at players ahead of you a la Mario Kart, but progressing in the game also means that you get an opportunity to add extra gear, and therefore powerups, to your board. If you can master the restricting controls that the game demands, Sonic Free Riders would be less an irritable experience and more about tinkering with the many weapons and powerups you can equip.
There is not much content in terms of races and storyline in Sonic Free Riders The graphics add no glamor, either. Cut scenes are washed out and boast no animation. The colors fall flat and images feel greyed out and grainy, although tracks are riddled with random pathways and platforms. If the controls were more responsive, Sega might be able to tread upon the idea of a claim to worth for their otherwise forgettable game, but the game does not hold any intrigue as it currently stands.
More On:
Sonic Free Riders
* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company for review.
Sonic Free Riders has a lot of good ideas, but none that are brought to fruition what serves as the ultimate experience. Terribly unforgiving motion controls force the player to concentrate more on mastering the rigid controls than on experimenting with the many weapons and gear options. Rather than being allowed to explore what secrets each track has to offer, players are stuck pleasing the demands of the game mechanics. The controls drop a shadow on what could have been an entertaining experience.

A petition from the campaign to
This petition closed 7 months ago
Why do we put the planet's second smartest mammal in small aquarium tanks and treat them as puppets for entertainment? I need your help to free beautiful marine mammals trapped in captivity at SeaWorld locations across the planet. I do not feel marine mammal entertainment parks have any place in the 21st century.
We know the level of awareness these animals have. We know their social connections, their eating habits, and natural wild behaviors. You cannot breed natural instincts out of an animal in a handful of generations. These are incredibly social, intelligent beings that are being taken advantage of to make money. It is animal slavery, and it needs to be brought to the general public's attention. These beautiful animals should not be trapped in pens that are too small and worked until their last breath is taken and then thrown out like trash and replaced. Please sign the petition and join the campaign to free these orcas
On July 27, people across the globe in 21 locations will be protesting against marine mammal facilities. If you would like more information about the campaign, please visit the Empty the Tanks website: http://www.emptythetanksworldwide.com/

That land — enough space to fit the Oxford Exchange and Oxford Commons shopping centers, with about 30 acres left over — is just the most visible portion of the McClellan Development Authority's "Way Ahead" plan, approved by the agency's board on Wednesday.
The plan also calls for industrial, residential, research and commercial development at specific sites at the former Army post. It was prepared by a committee tasked with figuring out how to get investors interested in McClellan, as a number of road and infrastructure projects in the area are set to launch.
Phil Webb, board chairman, said the MDA's new, more aggressive approach comes as the pieces are falling into place around McClellan over the next year or so.
"You're going to see the Eastern Parkway nearly finished," he said. "You're going to see Pappy Dunn Boulevard finished; you're going to see more acreage ready to bring well-paying jobs in here ... you're going to see Iron Mountain Access Road completed, from Jacksonville nearly to Oxford."
Local officials hope the parkway, now known as Veterans Memorial Parkway, will lure developers because it will create a transportation hub that connects I-20, U.S. 431 and Alabama 21 in northern Anniston, just down the road from the major retail sites at the entrance to McClellan.
The MDA currently has approximately 30 acres available for retail development along Alabama 21 near Lowe's. The asking price for that piece of property is $1.35 million. For two nearby sites on Summerall Gate Road of 31 and 64 acres, respectively, the MDA is seeking $40,000 an acre. These 125 retail acres near Lowe's are across Alabama 21 from potential retail development at the site of the Anniston Middle School.
Under the plan approved by the MDA on Wednesday, the asking price for the 64-acre site would be $2.56 million. By comparison, the 70-acre site of the Oxford Exchange sold in 2005 for $10.5 million. Oxford Commons, where Publix opened in February, sits on a 20-acre parcel.
As part of the plan, the MDA will also prioritize clear-cutting and preparing these retail sites as its budget allows.
Members of the committee pushed the idea of target-marketing large parcels of land to major developers who'd be willing to invest in infrastructure for big projects, because the MDA has not had the money to prepare much of the land.
"By this time, we should have invested over $70 million on McClellan in the way of infrastructure improvement to make it a marketable property; we've come nowhere close to that," MDA Executive Director Robin Scott told members of the board.
Mike James, the chair of the committee, said the MDA will have to take a door-to-door sales approach, contacting potential developers about opportunities at the former fort.
"We can have a gold mine here, but if nobody knows it's here, they're not going to come dig it up," he said.
Members of the committee also see potential to market nearly 100 acres of property as a location for a retirement community, with 67 acres to build patio homes for retirees, land zoned for small businesses to the serve the community, and possible conversion of a former non-commissioned officers club into a restaurant.
Additional commercial space is available in the Town Center district of McClellan, where much of the property is labeled as historic and could mean historic restoration tax credits for developers, according to Scott.
The MDA will continue to push land in its industrial park and research and technology park. More than 200 acres, including one 80-acre site, is available for research and technology-based development. Nearly 230 acres remain for development in the industrial park.
A joint effort by local governments and organizations in the county is currently underway to make the area more marketable by completing Pappy Dunn Boulevard, the major thoroughfare through the industrial park, as well as clearing land, landscaping, and adding lighting and other infrastructure improvements.
On Tuesday night, the Oxford City Council voted to sign on to this effort, known as the McClellan Area Regional Development Compact. With Oxford on board, every local government in Calhoun County, as well as organizations and institutions such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Council, Jacksonville State University and Gadsden State Community College, have agreed to support economic development at McClellan.
Webb said this sort of cooperation is huge. "To see the entire county come together, everyone to say we understand the importance of bringing well-paying jobs to the county and region, and we understand McClellan is a big factor in that ... It's hard to put into words."
In other business, the board:
— Approved a $1.54 million budget for fiscal year 2014.
— Added four three-story, cinder-block barracks to the demolition list.
— Approved demolition priorities for the coming fiscal year.
— Re-elected board officers: Phil Webb as chair, Mike James as vice chair, Eric Stringer as secretary and Jim Farrell as treasurer.
