Zalman HD135 HTPC Case Video ReviewReview #732 reviewed Sunday, August 16th, 2009 - 0 Comments
This product has Home Theatre PC case written all over it. It not only looks great and is quality built, but it comes with a Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) and a fantastic remote control. One important feature about this case is that it fits all standard ATX hardware but remains slim, and this is a testament to its excellent design. A much more powerful system can be built using standard ATX hardware over micro ATX. This is especially important if you are building a gaming HTPC. Watch the Video to find out more...
Raidmax Smilodon Case Video ReviewReview #727 reviewed Sunday, August 16th, 2009 - 0 Comments
Raidmax really did an excellent job designing this case. It's affordable, looks great, and has lots of features. One of the things that really stands out is the way the side panels open for easy access to the inside of the case. Both the left and right side panels swing down or can be removed. It has plenty of fans, drive bays, and even comes with a large window. A fantastic product for the cost conscious gamer! Watch the Video to find out more...
Cooler Master iTower 930 Case Video ReviewReview #725 reviewed Sunday, August 16th, 2009 - 0 Comments
The Cooler Master iTower 930 Case has lots of excellent features. There are six external 5.25" drive bays and four 3.5" external drive bays. Each of these 3.5" drive bays has an integrated hot swappable SATA hard drive enclosure, which makes installation of hard drives simple. This case is compatible with Micro ATX, Standard ATX, and CEB server form factor motherboards. It also has a unique cooling design. This case is like a tank though, weighing in at 16kg (35lbs).

SilverStone LC18 HTPC Case W/ Touch Screen Video ReviewReview #714 reviewed Monday, August 17th, 2009 - 0 Comments
If there ever was an ultimate Home Theatre Case, this is it! It has all aluminum construction, comes with a 7" widescreen LCD, and looks fantastic. Considering this is a HTPC case, it has lots of drive bays (2x5.25 & 1x3.5" external, & 5x3.5" internal). There's great air circulation with the included two 80mm fans at the back and two optional, but recommended, 80mm fans at the front. It even has rack mount brackets, and optional rack mount handles can be installed for a server environment. The cool factor on this product is extremely high! Watch the Video to find out more...
Tuniq 2 Mid-Tower ATX Case Video ReviewReview #707 reviewed Monday, August 17th, 2009 - 1 Comments
The Tuniq 2 case does have some excellent features. One of the best things about this case is the layout inside. There are three 120mm fans that provide excellent cooling power. There is also a plastic ducting system that assists in cooling. Also, the power supply gets mounted at the bottom. There are plenty of drive bays, but the way the 5.25" drives are installed is odd. It's a steel case for the most part, so it's fairly heavy. Watch the Video to find out more...
NZXT Lexa & Apollo ATX Cases Video ReviewReview #702 reviewed Monday, August 17th, 2009 - 1 Comments
Both the Lexa and Apollo cases look great. The Lexa is an all aluminum case with a few plastic parts, and it is extremely light. It weights in at only 13lbs! It has a tool-less design, a large window, & lots of fans and drive bays. This case even comes with a strong case carry harness. The Apollo case is an all steel case, and while it has lots of features, it's not in the same league as the Lexa. The Apollo does have most of the right ingredients for a great product and it's affordable. The Lexa, on the other hand, is a little on the pricey side. But, you get what you pay for.
Enermax Chakra ATX Case Video ReviewReview #699 reviewed Monday, August 17th, 2009 - 0 Comments
The Enermax Chakra Case will lift your spirits. At least with a name like chakra, it should! What does chakra mean, you ask? Well, look up chakra at www.thefreedictionar... and you'll get, "One of the seven centers of spiritual energy in the human body according to yoga philosophy". In this case I believe the spiritual energy comes from the massive 250mm fan. This is one of the few cases on the market with a reversible 250mm fan. It's a very welcome addition in today's high-performance computers and it will have no problem keeping everything cool.
Cooler Master Mystique 631 Case Video ReviewReview #698 reviewed Monday, August 17th, 2009 - 0 Comments
The Cooler Master Mystique 631 Case is loaded with excellent features. Features include: light aluminum construction, tooless design for installing drives and cards, two 120mm fans providing excellent air flow, front curved design that looks fantastic, and much more. All this and it's very reasonably priced. It's cool! Watch the Video to find out more...
Ultra MicroFly Micro ATX Case Video ReviewReview #696 reviewed Monday, August 17th, 2009 - 0 Comments
The Ultra MicroFly has all the right features for a small form factor case. There are two external 5.25" and one 3.5 drive bay, two internal drive bays, and a removable motherboard tray. The case is also available in a number of different configurations. You can also get it with or without power supply, or with or without windows. For convenience, there are ports at the front for the mic, headphones, 2 USB ports, and 1 Firewire. It even comes with a handle, something I'd like to see on more of these cases!"

SilverStone SG01 Evolution SFF Case Video ReviewReview #688 reviewed Monday, August 17th, 2009 - 0 Comments
The SilverStone SG01 Evolution Small Form Factor Case is one very impressive product. As a matter of fact, it's one of the best SFF cases on the market today. It's all aluminum so it's lightweight, with excellent build quality and design. One limiting factor many SFF cases have is poor air circulation. This is not the situation here due to the number of fans and way they are implemented. The case comes with two 5.25" external drive bays and two 3.5" internal drive bays. They include two 80mm fans but two optional fans can be installed.

Right, because endless war in Iraq has nothing to do with contributing to the so-called culture of death. Seriously, y'all. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Maybe the Flying Spaghetti Monster can deflect an asteroid or something and play pee-shooter with the Washington Monument or the White House ...
i don't know will. i find that most of FSM's policies are helplessly tangled. and have you seen whom FSM might nominate for cabinet positions? a bunch of meatballs if you ask me.
And of course, since she'll be the acting head of the office, there's no Senate hearing to vet her, and no Senate vote on the appointment.
Not that this is an "advise-and-consent" position anyway ... I'm just reiterating the point that Dubya hasn't made real appointments to many offices where the Senate could have a say in the matter, leaving those positions in the hands of unconfirmed (and unconfirmable) disastrous wingnut hacks.
And I gasp with horror for about the 3rd time today. These guys just keep at it.
Revolution is our only hope. And I'm not too old to fight.
Ugh, "fertility is not a disease." Maybe fertility is not, but pregnancy is a STD and I don't want it!!!!
Actually, from a biological perspective, pregnancy is an infection.
But a useful one.
Bush is going to pull this kind of crap as often as possible as he rides out the rest of his term.
Agree with Monkey. Get back to your work, nothing to see here.
Except for the spineless Dems who keep shut on this kind of stuff.
The difference between a fuck-up Republican President and a fuck-up Democratic President is simple:
The Republican President will spend their remaining months trying to ensure that the first few years of the Democratic President will be hell.
The Democratic President would spend their remaining months trying to do what is right, not thinking of how to screw with whatever party the next President is with, because they most likely actually care about their country.
At least that's how I see it.
After I come I like to hold the rubber next to my ear and listen to millions of sperm scream and die.
God I just had to go over to icanhascheezburger for a while after reading that.
Then eat it, right?
"abortions send babies to God FASTER!"
i'm glad you use a condom for this particular form of entertainment.
Interesting that the people who want to have a "culture of life" don't want to provide any social services to the people they think should have kids. Let alone providing healthcare to children that already exist, cause you know, that is just good policy.
*shakes head*
Right, because no woman has ever had to take birth control pills in order to regulate their reproductive hormones for the sake of their health. I, and many other sufferers of PCOS and other hormonal disorders, apparently do not exist.
Actually, now that I think about it I wish I didn't because then I wouldn't have had to read that.
Ha! That's not the half of it. A "pro-life" organization refuses to support SCHIP. So, quite literally, they don't give a fuck what happens to children once they're out of the womb.
Man, that is so pro-life it's like taking living toddlers and using pitchforks on them, @20. I wonder how God-hating Red Bushies can sleep at night ...
461 days 19 hours 19 minutes and 52....49....47....45....
at least she's not a vetrinarian like that one guy who was put in chage of women's health at the FDA.....
I wouldn't say that contraception is murder, but it does impede new life.
That seems like something we can all factually agree upon. What it means ideologically, well, that's another bunch of bananas for the monkeys to scream about

Dandy-Walker malformation, cleft palate, and stiff or "frozen" joints (contractures). Less than 20 cases of hydrocephalus-cleft palate-joint contractures syndrome have been reported. Other symptoms might include: thin fingers with absent knuckles and reduced creases over the joints, ear abnormalities, heart defects, and clubfoot. The cause of hydrocephalus-cleft palate-joint contractures syndrome is not known, but it is likely genetic due to reports of affected family members and likely autosomal dominant inheritance. Treatment is specific to the symptoms present in each individual and might include surgical correction of birth defects such as cleft palate and clubfoot.Hydrocephalus-cleft palate-joint contractures syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a buildup of fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus) due to a brain abnormality called

Résumé :
"Birth control advocate, self-styled libertarian, and ardent proponent of women's rights--Margaret Sanger was all of these, as this balanced, probing documentary attests. Using rare archival footage, diary excerpts, and commentary from historians, critics, and relatives, the program traces Sanger's extraordinary life and exhaustive work in the promotion and legalization of contraception. The documentary examines Sanger's legal battles, her work to distribute scientific birth control information, and her best-known achievement: the establishment of Planned Parenthood. Grandson Alexander Sanger--himself a birth control activist--offers insight into her Bohemian life as well as the fierce opposition she faced from conservative religious and social groups. Margaret Sanger is seen in both triumph and failure. At the start of her career, she opened the first birth control clinic in the United States. She finished her work a half-century later after launching the research that led to the birth control pill. But her darker side--her use of the racist and elitist arguments of eugenics--haunts her memory to this day."--Container.

Storm System Floods Parts Of Chicago, Threatens Tornadoes
A large storm system moving through the center of the country, has already caused major flooding in Chicago and is threatening to bring severe weather to the Tennessee Valley all the way to the Gulf Coast, tonight.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn declared a state of emergency Thursday afternoon, NBC Chicago reported.
"Heavy rainfall over the past few days has created dangerous flooding in areas across the state," Quinn said. "Everyone should stay home and off the roads if possible. To ensure safety as these storms continue, people should be alert and avoid flooded areas."
The Chicago Tribune reports that the weather system has dumped a half-foot of rain. The paper adds:
"High waters already led to intermittent closures of most major expressways, but now officials throughout the city and suburbs are eyeing rapidly rising river levels along with drainage problems that are stranding motorists and blocking thoroughfares."
"Gov. Pat Quinn has activated the State Incident Response Center in Springfield to speed up assistance to public safety officials in areas affected by the storm."
One of the more dramatic developments happened in the southeast side of Chicago, when a sinkhole swallowed three cars, injuring one person, the AP reports.
NBC News posted this video:
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Weather.com says the same system will continue east and bring severe weather all along on the Eastern Seaboard.
The Washington Post reports that this storm system has already produced reports of "two tornadoes, 50 instances of damaging winds, and 113 reports of large hail."
The Post explains what's going on meteorologically:
"A volatile mix of atmospheric ingredients has set the stage for today's outbreak. The jet stream has carved a massive trough through the Plains allowing cold air to crash southward out of Canada. Ahead of this trough, very warm, moist air is surging north from the Gulf of Mexico towards the Great Lakes. The transition zone between these contrasting airmasses is primed for severe weather."
We'll keep an eye on the the weather and update this post if anything significant occurs.

Hello all - I am completely at lost here. I would consider myself a decent home cook but I am completely stumped by preparing my baby's vegetables. A friend of mine bought me a Babycook, and yesterday I gleefully went to buy organic beans, sweet potato and parsnips to prepare for my baby. But 3 out of 3 of the veggies have turned out to still have hard bits even after cooking them twice, and blending for what seemed a long time .... I am a bit baffled as I diced all my veggies real small, and followed the instructions ... would anyone have any pointers on what I'm doing wrong?
I thought I could cook....?!?
Comments (10)
I steam all mine, except the sweet potatoes. Those were baked. I then cut them up and put them in the food processor. Added very little water and my son loves them.

I did my sweet potatoes on water level 3 and had very minor, if any, chunks. Are you dumping out the water after they cook? Set it aside, and add it as you blend.
Are you adding water when you puree the veg? I either add any cooking liquid or boiling water to the food...I find it definitely helps smooth things out when the water is warmer. I just keep adding until it's smooth.
in the interest of full disclosure- i'm hellokello. visiting my mom and can't remember my log in info so now i'm using my original bbc username.

Of what you mentioned i only did sweet potatoes.. i just baked them and then put them in the baby bullet with some water.
wholesomebabyfood.com i think is the website.. it's what i used for recipes. maybe see if there's anything over there that's helpful.
Love my July 2012 and March 2015 Boys!
All I do is bake and steam. I bake any root veggies and squash. I steam the fruits, and beans, broccoli and such. I've never had hard lumps

They have these in the store. On the box it reads 48" and $20. I'm a slow reader and not very handy so it took 10 minutes to set it up. The lights are regular clear mini-lights like the cheap string sets. It comes with ground stakes, extra bulbs, fuses, and 90 day warranty from Everstar in Elkridge, MD. The buck is maybe 4' tall from toe to antler tip and the doe 4' lengthwise from tail tip to nose. The doe's head moves up and down like she's eating and the buck moves his head from side to side. They are nice enough and small enough to keep inside as a decoration. Change the bulb on its nose to red and you have Rudolph.
Whatever happened to the glistening animated deer that WalMart sold the last 2 years?? I have 3 of those and they go up in a flash but this deer is nothing like them. It is a good thing that I am mechanically inclined. It took me about 1/2 hour and I had to bend one of the metal pieces to hold the head on. To keep the head mechanism going really requires a cotter pin but all that is supplied are the white plastic zip ties that crack off as soon as they get cold. I substituted a paper clip and that is holding up so far. I assumed since the deer on the box was white that the lights would be white but they are blue, which is pretty enough but I would prefer putting a deer up that matches my other 3. I have had this deer up one night and unless my husband falls in love with it, I'm afraid I may have to return it.
Parts come nested and tied together and are very difficult to get apart for assembly. The lights are very bright, but there are not very many of them. It is reasonably attractive, but I would not purchase it again.
I have the doe and fawn which I really like and I was excited to add the buck to the family. I hate to say that I was sadly disappointed. It is not very well lit. The head does not rotate as well as it seemed and to top it off, when it was delivered, the box top was opened, the box was crushed and had holes in it. The directions and extra crystals was missing and some of the crystals were broken away from the frame. It looked like the buck was pulled off a shelf and stuffed into a box.
The deer was all wrapped up and it took about 2 hours total to put it together, because it woud keep falling apart when you would get one section put together, another section would fall. I could not figure out how to make the head move, and I finally had to put cable ties on ever piece to hold it together. I took it apart and took it back to Walmart because it was not worth 40.00.
Purchased this product and assembled, which took a little while (and two people) to hold it up. It set up nicely and stays up in the ground, but not crazy about it at all. The LED lights (I feel) are not attractive. Would not recommend it at all.
I bought this item and put it up quickly, in less than 30 minutes. Led are not regular Christmas lights it gives the reindeer a wonderful look. the only "work" was to position antlers in place after attaching.
What a waste! I was so excited to purchase this after seeing it on display at the store. Got the box home, no directions, pieces missing, parts broken. I was so disappointed.
While the product is attractive the animation does not work and the directions are terrible with no 00 number to get assistance.
Product seemed cheaply made, very few lights and didn't stand up. Still deciding if I even want to keep it.
These deer are so hard to set up. They're cheap and don't even work right. DO NOT purchase!

Some Survey Data on Perceptions of the Tax Burden in Illinois
Are Taxes Always Lower on the Other Side of the Border? Some Survey Data on Perceptions of the Tax Burden in Illinois
Brian J. Gaines and James H. Kuklinski
How accurate are public perceptions of the relative tax burden in Illinois? In the autumn of 2006, we asked a sample of Illinois residents a small battery of questions about tax rates in the state, as part of our ongoing Illinois Opinion Monitor project.
In surveying the general public, there is frequently a tradeoff between precision and feasibility. For example, few, apart from experts, can discuss marginal tax rates, use the jargon of "exemptions," "deductions," "progressivity," and the like. It would probably be pointless to ask respondents about the relative shares of state excise taxes, federal taxes, and local taxes in the gasoline tax burden. And so on. We settled on a fairly simple format. We asked:
How do you think taxes here in Illinois compare to those in the other states?
with the possible answers being:
Illinois is in the bottom 1/3
Illinois IS in the middle 1/3
Illinois IS in the top 1/3
Not sure
Among the taxes we asked about were gasoline taxes and state income taxes.
For several years, gasoline prices have been highly newsworthy, as they've steadily risen and even set new (inflation-adjusted) historical highs. In news stories, it is sometimes mentioned that taxes (federal, state, and local) make up about one-fifth to one-fourth of the pump price. Moreover, the states vary in the gasoline taxes they charge. Illinois is, by almost all accounts, one of the priciest states for filling up. The American Petroleum Institute and Tax Foundation, for instance, place Illinois as having the fourth highest effective gasoline taxes per gallon, behind only Hawaii, New York, and California.
When asked how Illinois gas taxes compare to those elsewhere, our respondents tended to get the facts right: 61 percent said Illinois was in the top third, compared to 17 percent saying it was in the middle third, only 2 percent saying the bottom third, and 20 percent saying that they weren't sure. Before we applaud their accuracy, an obvious hypothesis is that most people might think that all of their taxes are comparatively high. We can turn to perceptions of the income tax to see if that's true.
Objectively, state income taxes are not nearly as simple to compare. Some states have only one (flat) rate, some have as many as 10 brackets. The states also vary greatly in personal exemptions. Illinois assesses a flat income tax of 3 percent, with a $2,000 exemption for single individuals, $4,000 for couples, and an additional $2,000 child credit. Some states have higher values; some have no exemptions. Nine states assess no income tax at all, and can thus immediately be identified as having lower income taxes. Twelve states have a higher flat rate than Illinois, or else have multiple rates, the lowest of which is higher than 3 percent (and also do not have sufficiently more generous exemptions to offset these higher rates). Ordering the remaining 29 states is a rather complicated task.
Objectively speaking, though, Illinois is probably in the bottom third, when we average across the whole tax-paying population. Three percent is actually the minimum highest rate for those states with an income tax, and most of the states with multiple brackets assess a higher rate than 3 percent on most of their residents. There is, however, some ambiguity about the task we gave our survey respondents. Whether one's own effective rate is in the top, middle, or bottom third depends on that taxpayer's traits. Of course, we didn't explicitly ask people to focus on their own taxes; however, most people's knowledge of tax rates is likely to be heavily based on their own experience. For wealthier taxpayers, Illinois income tax is almost certainly in the bottom third. That is, such individuals would pay more in income tax if they accrued the same income in at least 34 other states. For poorer taxpayers, by contrast, the income tax bill in Illinois might well be in the middle of the pack.
Our first interest is whether people see uniformly high taxes across all types of taxation. Judging by the two questions discussed here, the answer is no. Our respondents were about evenly divided between the answers "top 1/3" and "middle 1/3," with 36 percent and 35 percent having chosen those categories, respectively. Only 7 percent reported that Illinois is one of the 17 states with the lowest income tax rates. Another 22 percent said they didn't know the answer. Compared with answers on gasoline taxes, then, we see about the same rate of self-professed ignorance, but a much more even distribution across those willing to venture an opinion. It does not seem to be true that survey respondents simply gravitate to the "highest" answer, assuming the worst about their own tax burdens.
To be sure, we have no evidence here of under-estimating the tax burden. Despite the ambiguity about exactly how to rank Illinois on income tax rates, it seems clear that a large number of respondents are over-estimating how high their income taxes are, in a comparative sense.
More interesting is the variation in answers according to respondents' own (self-reported) incomes. Figure 1 omits the "don't know" respondents and shows what proportion of the others chose the answers top, middle, and bottom, according to their own income categories. (The categories shown here group together multiple intervals from our original family income question, and have roughly equal numbers of respondents.) Interestingly, we see some evidence that respondents' own incomes play a role in how onerous they think is the income tax burden in Illinois. No one earning under $30,000
Figure 1. Perceptions of how Illinois Compares to Other States in Income Tax Rates by Respondents' Family Incomes
annually thought that Illinois falls in the bottom third; 17 percent of those with family incomes exceeding $100,000 did. The proportion claiming that Illinois is in the top 17 at income tax falls steadily as incomes rise from $30,000 to over $100,000. The pattern is quite strong.
In sum, it would seem that perceptions of tax rates, though perhaps skewed towards exaggeration, might be more accurate than popular wisdom would claim. No one likes taxes, but it does not seem to be the case that most people simply assume that their own taxes must always be higher than those of everyone else. Not all of our respondents were willing to hazard a guess about how Illinois compares to the rest of the states at gasoline taxes, but those with an opinion were mostly correct. The income tax responses, however, disprove the (plausible) conjecture that "highest" is the natural response to all such tax questions. Over-estimation is not quite so dramatic. At every income level, our respondents did over-estimate the Illinois burden. But the fact that perceived burden falls with own incomes hints that these perceptions are nonetheless grounded in reality, in the sense that they are probably based on personal experience. The responses can even be regarded as fairly sophisticated against the baseline, widespread view that the public simply doesn't understand taxation or know any of the details of the undeniably complicated American tax system.

HOUSTON -- Like NCAA Division 1-A football and its BCS fiasco, the NFL's system of turning assistant coaches into head coaches is a seemingly unsolvable puzzle.
The hottest assistants aren't getting hired. The last time an assistant went from the Super Bowl to a head coaching job was when Mike Martz replaced a retiring Dick Vermeil in St. Louis in 2000. The last assistant to move from a Super Bowl staff to a different team following the game was when Norv Turner went to Washington in 1994 and Dave Wannstedt went from the Cowboys to the Bears in 1993. Back then though, the NFL allowed teams to hire assistants whose teams were still in the playoffs.
The system isn't working for rewarding the best assistants. Improvements have been made in the process of minority hiring. Lovie Smith of the Bears and Dennis Green of the Cardinals brought the number to five for minority coaches. But still, the overall system isn't perfect. If the system was working smoothly, why has there been so much turnover in the past decade?
"In this business, when you're hot, you're hot and when you're not, you're not," Patriots defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel said. "You never know what the next year brings, so you just try to do the best job that you can do and hope for the best."
From the individual standpoint, Crennel and Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis paid a heavy price for advancing to Super Bowl XXXVIII. Their potential Super Bowl rings may have cost them the chance to get head coaching jobs. Seven franchises looking for coaches didn't want to wait for them. If the Patriots turn their bountiful draft riches -- seven picks in the first four rounds -- into another Super Bowl trip next year, they could face the same predicament.
Bob Lamonte, an agent for six NFL head coaches, says the system is silly because it almost rewards a coach for losing a playoff game and not going to the Super Bowl.
"You're getting a lot of head coaches from 7-9 teams or those who lose early in the playoffs," Lamonte said. "The sad part about it is that it penalizes the guy that wins."
Unfortunately, commissioner Paul Tagliabue didn't offer much optimism for the Super Bowl assistants.
"It's a huge plus being part of a Super Bow staff," Tagliabue said Friday. "I don't personally feel there is much that we can do to improve further the rules we have in place. We've worked on these for literally decades. They've been fine tuned and evolved to try to be in sync with our current realities. Each year, there are one or two coaches or more that may have their opportunity deferred."
Tagliabue said the rules are a balance from a lot of conflicting interests, but chance of change doesn't look good.
Weis has said all the correct things this week. He stressed that he's only worried about playing the Panthers. He talked about reflecting on his head coaching future after the Super Bowl. Still, his heart aches for the chance to be a head coach.
Remember this is a bright coach so hopeful of getting a head coaching job that he underwent gastric bypass surgery to slim down and improve his sideline appearance. A complication in the surgery left him with a case of drop foot, a condition that prevents an individual to lift his foot when muscle activity around the ankle is reduced.
Like Crennel, Weis was only able to interview for jobs during the first week of the playoffs. After that, Weis and Crennel were off limits to the three teams still looking for head coaches following the first round of the playoffs.
Crennel crammed five interviews into the Patriots playoff bye week. Weis had two. Weis left little doubt about what he thought would happen had he been given the freedom to talk to the Bills and Giants again following those interviews.
"I thought I nailed those interviews," Weis said. "I think if you ask the Giants or if you ask the Buffalo Bills, the reason I didn't get those jobs didn't have anything to do with the interviews. I think I had enough time to be prepared. I think I went in prepared. I think I present myself well. "
Weis and Crennel improved their resumes by out scheming the rest of the AFC and advancing to their second Super Bowl in three years. But after those opening-week interviews, they were untouchable. And once the other teams started making their head coaching hires, the scramble for assistants began.
"I think that the system, as far as it currently is, probably was a slight disadvantage to Charlie and myself," Crennel said. "Everybody assumed we were going to the Super Bowl -- which they were correct -- and they didn't want to wait until February to have a chance to talk to us again and maybe make a decision about a coaching job. I would have to say it was a disadvantage."
The problem is finding an acceptable solution. The simplest solution would be to put a freeze on hiring head coaches until after the Super Bowl. That's a tough sell. Twenty teams don't make the playoffs, and those that want to make coaching changes would be hostage for a month in trying to work toward next year.
The other solution would be to permit assistants in the playoffs to once again accept offers for head coaching jobs. The problem there: No owner would want his top coordinator working for one team while he's preparing game plans for a playoff game or a Super Bowl.
"One of the reasons people are in a rush is to hire assistants for the staffs," Weis said. "These (people) are worried about who in the hell are you going to go to work with them. It isn't just the head coach you are worried about. You worry who's the offensive coordinator and who's the defensive coordinator and who's the strength coach. There are a lot of ramifications. But there is a time element in recruiting these people. You just don't say, 'Hey Mark, do you want to come with me?" How can you be truly focused on your job as coordinator if you are out spending time on the phone recruiting coaches?"
Lamonte wants to speak to owners at the March owners meeting about a compromise. His thinking is that teams can hire the head coaches after the season but have a moratorium on hiring assistants until after the Super Bowl. By slowing the process of hiring assistants, Lamonte believes it would allow more teams to wait for the Super Bowl assistants.
"If you put a moratorium on assistants until the end, teams might wait," Lamonte said. "The problem is going to be in the future. Now, teams are blowing out (nearly) 25 percent of the head coaches every year in this system by firing seven a year. You're diluting the pool of head coaches, and you're not rewarding the guys who are doing the best."
The 2003 season only illustrated the value of assistants good enough to go to the Super Bowl. Two of the best coaching jobs this season were by John Fox of the Panthers and Marvin Lewis of the Bengals. Fox was the Giants defensive coordinator in Super Bowl XXXV for the New York Giants. Lewis was the defensive coordinator of the victorious Ravens.
Bills general manager Tom Donahoe was patient enough to wait until after the Super Bowl to interview. Both were so exhausted from the Super Bowl to be best prepared for their interviews. Donahoe instead hired Gregg Williams, who was fired on Dec. 29 after three seasons.
Had Donahoe hired Fox or Lewis, it could have been possible the Bills might have been in this game instead of the Patriots.
"It's ridiculous to think that the NFL can restrict people from improving their lots in life," said Gary O'Hagen of IMG, another top agent for the coaches. "What about the free enterprise system? This is some of the most restrictive employment stuff I have seen in my life."
What infuriates O'Hagen even more is that position coaches under contract can't interview for coordinator jobs if they are under contract and the team refuses to allow them to interview.
"They need to establish a way to characterize jobs from one to eight that allows a person to advance if he has a chance," O'Hagen said. "Plus, it should be the team's business how they handle their employees. Why is the league dictating how this should be handled?"
Commissioner Paul Tagliabue will continue to seek solutions, but there is still a lot of work to do.

2010 Utah Primary election
U.S. House of Representatives District 2
Election date: Monday, Sept. 20, 2010
Claudia Wright
Democratic party
» Other candidate for this office: Jim Matheson
Candidate survey
Why do you think delegates at the state Democratic convention advanced you to a primary? What do they expect you to stand for as a candidate?
I believe they see me as a true Democrat and believe I can and will serve the District better than Mr Matheson has. I cannot expect to assume their thinking. I can only say that I will stand for true democratic principles and continue to keep in contact with them and serve their interests.
What should voters know about your background? How have your personal/professional experiences prepared you to serve in the House?
My extensive experience as teacher and my knowledge in American history allows me to have a good grasp of issues and solutions. I also listen to all sides and develop my responses based on careful study and weighing of all sides and the wishes of my constituents.
Under what circumstances would you support the resumption of nuclear testing?
The only form of testing I would ever endorse would be virtual testing. I would NOT, under any circumstances support above ground, under ground, under water or any other type of physical testing.
Do you support or oppose Utah lawmakers who are considering passing anti-illegal immigration laws, including one similar to Arizona's, because they don't want to wait any longer for the federal government to act? Why or why not?
I believe we need a comprehensive, humane immigration policy. I do not support the type of bill now in place in Arizona. Make no mistake, I understand the frustration with this issue and I believe this is the purview of the Federal Government and must be addressed. I have been working with local Hispanic leaders to draft a fair and balanced approach that does not include profiling.
What action should Congress be taking to deal with the continued effects of the recession? What steps should be taken to alleviate the national debt?
We need to invest in our future through development of sustainable jobs and clean energy products. Below are some points I have developed to address this important issue.
a) stop spending on corporate subsidies; start investing in jobs.
b) stop spending through the back door for military spending and invest in infrastructure.
c) stop spending on individual energy projects rather than investing in a philosophy of clean energy (correcting market failures of the existing energy industry.)
Should more offshore oil drilling be allowed in light of the BP spill? How do you envision energy development going forward?
I believe we need to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels and move those jobs into renewable energy so we, again, invest in our future and get off of our dependence on oil. As for a moritorium on drilling, we must consider the impact on the employment in those states that have become dependent on those jobs and prosceed with deliberate and cautious programs to address these issues. I would call for more strigent and enforceable safety regulations for any and all drilling that would have an impact on our enviorment.
Would you support a House-passed bill that would ban importing foreign low-level radioactive waste? Such importation has been proposed by EnergySolutions.
Yes I would, in addition, I would move to force states to keep their own waste on site and would work to prevent ANY nuclear waste from coming into Utah.
What action, if any, should the House take on such gay rights issues as the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy or moves to allow gay marriage?
I believe DADT is an outdated and an unacceptible law that must be removed. The fact that some of out most trusted allies recognize the right of every citizen to serve in the military, proves that this is an isuue who's time has passed.
The constitution states that "All men have the the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". I believe in equality for all as the forefathers stated, and that includes marriage for all.
What is your position on federal health care reform?
I believe that the current bill needs to be stronger. I would have voted in favor of it and then worked to improve it.I see no reason to not have a single payer as we now have with Medicare and will work to make sure every American has access to affordable health care.
How would you reform entitlement spending? Specifically, would your plans include eliminating and/or cutting Social Security? Would it eliminate or cut Medicare?
I would not agree to eliminating SS or making it private as some have suggested. Imagine what would have happened to our seniors if SS had be private during the economic disaster of the Bush administration. Our dependent citizens would have been devestated.
The term "entitlement" covers many areas of the federal budget. I believe, as the president does, that we need to look at waste, efficiency and earmarks as we look at reining in the deficit and spending.

Rubella Directory
Rubella (German measles) is an infectious disease caused by a virus. Usually it is short-lived, but it can be particularly harmful in pregnant women because it can cause birth defects in the baby. Rubella is spread by touching fluid droplets from another person who is infected -- this could be a sneeze, shared food or drinks, or other causes. Symptoms are a mild fever, swollen glands, a rash, and possibly joint pain, eye pain, or a sore throat. With rubella, the primary remedies treat the symptoms. A vaccine is available to prevent rubella. Follow the links below to find WebMD's comprehensive coverage about how rubella is contracted, what it looks like, how to treat it, and much more.

Wesley Snipes will be spending the holidays behind bars.
On Wednesday, the US Marshal's Office in Orlando, Florida ordered the Blade star to report to the Federal Correctional Institution McKean in Lewis Run, Pennsylvania by noon on Dec. 9 to begin his three-year sentence for income tax evasion.
Snipes, 48, was convicted in a Florida federal court in 2008 for willful failure to file income tax returns. He's been free on bail while appealing his conviction to the US Supreme Court, which upheld the conviction and sentence last month. Attorneys for Snipes argued that jurors committed perjury by saying they had no preconceived notions about the case. They also claim Wesley should get a new trial in light of testimony by his former financial adviser Kenneth Starr, who admitted to cheating clients out of tens of millions of dollars in a plea hearing last September.
The Supreme Court disagreed: "..Defendant Snipes had a fair trial; he has had a full, fair and thorough review of his conviction and sentence….The time has come for the judgment to be enforced."
Well, so long, Wes. Thanks for the memories:

The Columbus Dispatch reports that JobsOhio also attracted $6.7 billion in corporate investment last year, increasing the agency's percentage of both jobs landed and investments made by approximately 10 percent compared to 2014. State Faces Massive Unemployment Debt By Wayne Baker • Sep 12, 2014 Wayne Baker / WYSO Ohio legislators are trying to figure out how to pay down almost $1.4 billion in debt to the federal government for the state's unemployment fund. Ohio's Unemployment Compensation Study Committee held a hearing in Clark County Tuesday to address concerns about the fund. The state borrowed lots of money from the federal government during the Great Recession to make up for shortfalls in its unemployment fund. Ohio's Flat Job Growth Limits Opportunity For High-Paying Jobs By Tom Borgerding • Aug 18, 2014 WOSU State and national jobless numbers are closely watched as economic indicators, and the unemployment figures can also give useful clues for those seeking their first full-time job. Last month, 323,000 Ohio adults were actively seeking work and not able to find a job, and the unemployment rate crept up for the first time in several months. The figure includes recent high school and college graduates looking for that first job, or an entry level job. Government Shutdown Delays Ohio Jobs Data Report By Associated Press • Oct 16, 2013 The monthly Ohio unemployment report scheduled for Friday will be delayed because of the federal government shutdown. That means residents and employers will have to wait to find out whether the slight uptick in the state jobless rate for August continued last month. The Columbus Dispatch says the state compiles the report using data from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau. The shutdown is affecting both agencies. Ohio Unemployment Rate Ticks Up in August, Reflecting Long-term Stagnation For Some By Lewis Wallace • Sep 24, 2013 WYSO/Lewis Wallace Unemployment numbers are out for August, and Ohio's rate was right in line with the national rate of 7.3 percent. But while the U.S. unemployment rate went from above 8 percent in August 2012 to 7.3 percent in August 2013, the state numbers actually ticked up slightly from last month and last year. Ohio Unemployment Rate Stays At 7 Percent For May By Associated Press • Jun 21, 2013 Ohio's unemployment rate remained unchanged at 7 percent for May. State officials released the new number Friday morning. The rate was the same as April, after falling from 7.1 percent the two previous months. The Ohio rate has consistently remained below the national level. The U.S. unemployment rate for May was 7.6 percent. The state's leaders have said Ohio's economy and its job market are getting stronger, though the process is slow. Ohio's Unemployment Rate Higher in January By Associated Press • Mar 8, 2013 The latest monthly jobs data shows that Ohio's unemployment rate rose slightly in January. The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services said Friday that the state's seasonably adjusted unemployment rate for January was 7 percent - up from 6.7 in December. The slip reversed a trend of incremental progress in lowering the rate over a number of months. The state has said Ohio's economy and its job market are getting stronger, but the process is slow. Ohio's unemployment rate has remained about a percentage point below the U.S. rate. Ohio's Jobless Rate Inches Downward Again By Associated Press • Dec 21, 2012 Ohio's unemployment rate is continuing to inch downward. The Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services said Friday that the state's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for November was 6.8 percent. That's down from 6.9 percent in October and 7.1 percent in September. It's the lowest since an identical 6.8-percent rate in August 2008. The state has said Ohio's economy and its job market are getting stronger, though the process is slow. Ohio's unemployment rate has remained about a full percentage point below the U.S. rate. New Ohio Jobless Rate Dips Below 7% By Bill Cohen (Ohio Public Radio) • Nov 16, 2012 Ohio's official unemployment has dropped once again and it now at 6.9%. The October rate represents a drop of only two-tenths of 1% compared to the revised rate in September. Still, it means Ohio now has its lowest jobless rate in more than four years. You have to go back to August of 2008 to find a jobless rate in the same 6% range. Ohio's Lower Jobless Rate Means Fewer Benefits for the Jobless By Bill Cohen (Ohio Public Radio) • Aug 31, 2012 Ohio is facing a catch-22. Because the state's official unemployment rate has dropped to a full percentage point below the national average, the federal government is cutting back its share of emergency unemployment benefits to jobless Ohioans. Ben Johnson, with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, says people will notice the cutback at the beginning of December. Pages1 2 next › last »

Government-backed U.S. mortgage bonds underperformed Treasuries in August by the most since November 2008 amid concern federal intervention will spark a refinancing wave that reduces the value of the securities.
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae bonds tied to home loans returned 34 basis points, or 0.34 percentage point, less than U.S. debt last month, Barclays Capital indexes show. Fannie Mae's 6.5 percent bonds maturing in about 24 years fell 0.75 cent last month to 108.9 cents on the dollar as 4.5 percent Treasury bonds maturing in 2036 gained 8.9 cents to 118.34 cents, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
President Barack Obama's administration responded to July's record decline in U.S. home sales by highlighting the Federal Housing Administration's refinancing program. Homeowners swapping into new loans, with the lowest mortgage rates in 39 years, would punish bond investors who bought securities pegged to loans with higher interest rates.
"There's just too many things that could go wrong that could destroy the mortgage market," said Paul Norris, a senior money manager at Dwight Asset Management Co. "One of them is this government nuclear refi option."
Norris helps oversee about $15 billion at the Burlington, Vermont-based firm. He joined the company after leaving U.S. mortgage buyer Fannie Mae, where he was director of mortgage portfolios, according to Dwight Asset's website.
Mortgage Retreat
Government-backed mortgage bonds lost ground even after rallying last week by the most since July 23 relative to Treasuries, Barclays Capital index data shows.
The average rate on a 30-year-fixed U.S. mortgage dropped to 4.36 percent the week ended Aug. 26, the sixth straight decline, according to McLean, Virginia-based mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.
Elsewhere in credit markets, a measure of corporate credit risk in the U.S. fell the most in almost a month after a report showed manufacturing expanded more than forecast. Bonds of NewPage Corp. rose the most in a year and Hexagon AB's banks started syndicating as much as $2.2 billion of loans.
Credit-default swaps on the Markit CDX North America Investment Grade Index, which investors use to hedge against losses on corporate debt or to speculate on creditworthiness, dropped 4.8 basis points to a mid-price of 109.7 basis points as of 2:06 p.m. in New York, the biggest decline since Aug. 2, according to index administrator Markit Group Ltd.
Factory Index
The index, which typically falls as investor confidence improves, dropped after the Institute for Supply Management's factory index rose to 56.3 in August from 55.5 in July, the Tempe, Arizona-based group said today, signaling the industry that led the recovery will keep it from faltering. Economists forecast a decline to 52.8, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. Readings greater than 50 signal growth.
In London, the Markit iTraxx Europe Index of 125 companies with investment-grade ratings decreased 4.6 basis points to 113.56, and the Markit iTraxx Crossover Index of credit-default swaps on 50 companies with mostly high-yield credit ratings dropped 21.4 basis points to 510.8, Markit prices show.
Credit swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. A decline signals an improvement in investor perceptions of credit quality. A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt.
The decline in the contracts follows global corporate bonds in August returning 2.14 percent, the best monthly gains since July 2009, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch's Global Broad Market Corporate index. The debt exceeded the 1.96 percent return for global government debt and a 3.68 percent loss for the MSCI World Index including reinvested dividends.
Extra Yield
The extra yield investors demand to own company debt rather than government bonds widened 4 basis points during the period to 181 basis points, while yields fell to 3.476 percent from 3.751 percent on July 31.
NewPage's $783 million of 10 percent bonds due in 2012 climbed 7.5 cents to 41 cents on the dollar as of 1:23 p.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. That's the most since Sept. 16, 2009, when they gained 8.5 cents.
The Miamisburg, Ohio-based company's debt, the most traded bonds today, jumped after it forecast fourth-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of between $145 million and $165 million, according to a filing today, which compares with an estimate of $90 million to $100 million for the third quarter. NewPage bonds fell in August after the company posted EBITDA of $10 million in the second quarter, down from $149 million a year earlier.
Hexagon's Takeover
Hexagon's lenders are seeking to sell the debt that finances the Stockholm-based surveying equipment maker's takeover of Intergraph Corp., according to three people with knowledge of the deal.
The borrowings, underwritten by SEB AB and Credit Agricole CIB, include a $900 million five-year term loan for the Intergraph purchase, said the people, who declined to be identified because the matter is private.
In the bond market, Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank, Germany's development agency for agribusiness, plans to offer seven-year global notes in U.S. dollars in a benchmark offering as soon as tomorrow, according to a person familiar with the transaction. Benchmark sales are typically at least $500 million.
The debt may yield about 30 basis points more than the benchmark mid-swap rate, said the person, who declined to be identified because terms aren't set.
Driving Concern
For U.S. mortgage bond investors, refinancings remain a driving concern. Applications to refinance existing home loans climbed to the highest level in more than a year last week, according to the Washington-based Mortgage Bankers Association.
Interested borrowers include homeowners with fixed-rate loans who want to take advantage of falling rates and those with adjustable-rate mortgages who want to lock in a stable monthly cost, said Michael Fratantoni, vice president of research and economics for the Mortgage Bankers Association.
"Treasury rates have come down, and mortgage rates have generally followed," Fratantoni said in a telephone interview. "In some cases, that's the upside to an environment where we keep getting economic data which is somewhat weaker than anticipated."
The 10-year Treasury yield dropped 43 basis points in August, the biggest monthly decrease since December 2008, when the yield fell 71 basis points after the Federal Reserve cut its target lending rate to a range of zero to 0.25 percent.
Maintaining Stimulus
"The other big driver was the government not re-investing mortgage paydowns back into mortgages but investing them into Treasuries," said John Anzalone, head of mortgage-backed securities at Invesco Ltd., which has more than $557 billion in assets. "That's almost like the government effectively selling mortgages to buy Treasuries."
Federal Reserve officials said Aug. 10 that the central bank will reinvest principal payments on its mortgage holdings into long-term Treasury securities as it seeks to bolster the economy by maintaining stimulus.
A widespread government refinancing program is unlikely because it may spur weaker underwriting standards and diminish the value of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's mortgage portfolios, New York-based Citigroup Inc. analyst Brad Henis wrote Aug. 26 in a report.
"What seems to be chief among concerns among participants is some sort of government-engineered refi wave," Henis said in a telephone interview. "It's something we think is very unlikely. There're too many hurdles, both on implementation side as well as side effects of a successful program that are undesirable."
Banks Retreated
Prepayments on mortgage bonds punish investors by reducing the average interest rate backing securities they purchased.
The $5.2 trillion market for so-called agency securities, which are guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae, is fueling the bulk of fresh home lending. Banks retreated from the market as they recorded almost $1.8 trillion in losses and writedowns triggered by sour U.S. home loans.
Fannie Mae's current-coupon 30-year fixed rate mortgage bonds were priced to yield 82.14 basis points more than 10-year Treasuries, data compiled by Bloomberg showed yesterday. That compares with a spread of 54 basis points at the end of July.
"Investors are reluctantly looking for some areas where they can get some incremental yield spread versus Treasuries," Philip Barach, president of DoubleLine Capital LLC in Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview. "One of those areas would be mortgage-backed securities."

Released: Jan 01st, 1999
Running Time: 72
Director: Edward James
Company: Paradox Pictures
Distribution Companies: Video 10
Cast: Max Reggiani, Yoria, Maximilian, Pablo (I), Marcos (II), Mo Mo, Carlos (II)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Gay international flicks are always in demand. Stock this to add some variety. With its attractive box cover, it will likely disappear quickly.
The box promises "Real Italian Studs." We get a good variety of types Director Edward James lets them speak, so you know they are really Italian. The action is wall-to-wall sex. The first oral scene is among the best, with Yoria letting a buddy beat off his mouth to satisfaction. A second shower scene is also pretty good, with hung Max Reggiani giving Pablo all the dick he can take a seat on.
Less successful is an incomplete gangbang, featuring Yoria. Of three intended top guys, only Carlos can deliver the goods. Finally, there is a choppy kitchen scene where Pablo gives one-way sucking before bending over for built Maximilian. Street-view "fillers" add to the flavor of old Italy.

Russian Investment Fund Seeking Germany, Italy, U.K. Targets
Russia's Direct Investment Fund is looking to acquire assets in countries including Germany, Italy and the U.K., according to head of the company, Kirill Dmitriev.
"We are looking at things like automotive components and a bunch of assets in logistics, which we think are undervalued now," Dmitriev said in an interview today with Bloomberg Television at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The Kremlin established the fund in June to invest in modernizing industries and help wean the economy off its dependence on energy exports, which account for 17 percent of gross domestic product. While its primary aim is to finance domestic projects, the fund also wants to use the financial turmoil in Europe to snap up technology assets.
France is also interesting because of the number of technological companies that are "synergistic with the Russian market," Dmitriev said.
The Russian government will pump about $10 billion into the fund in the next five years, and wants to attract $50 billion of co-investments from foreign buyout firms, sovereign-wealth funds and companies seeking to expand in the country, Dmitriev said at its inception.

Misato Katsuragi by miyumiyuchancosplayWatch
©2013-2016 miyumiyuchancosplay
Myself as Katsuragi Misato from Neon Genesis Evangelion. See more of my cosplay at miyumiyuchancosplay.com
woah! Very accurate!
Sexy Cosplay...
My first and still ONLY genuine animated crush who i love for her personality with her beauty as an afterthought.
Whenever I see Misato stumbling trough life, i want to jump into the screen and become her super supportive man-waifu to make it all better.
Methods of choice:
-Pep talking
-Back scratching
-Vomit sweeping
Because that's the kind of guy she needs to be a better badass!

Well Misato is one of the characters that I most relate to and one of my very first cosplays. I think my personality is a lot like her. Not sure if that's a good thing, lol! Nice to see others appreciate her.
pen pen :3 amazingly sexy performed my dear ^^
haha perfect Misato!!!
Amazing cosplay!! <3 Love it! ~
This is Misato at her best... I got a can Yebisu when I was in Japan and brought it back... but I've never seen it stateside, where did you find this beer at if I may ask?
Thank you! Unfortunately I haven't been able to find Yebisu here at all. I bought the can empty from eBay. Why anyone would need an empty beer can for any reason other than this cosplay, I don't know, but that was the only way I was able to find it!
Someone else told me they saw that here and I asked where they found the beer but no reply back... and yeah, at least you were able to get one for a cosplay. I got one cause I like NGE and Misato and it's a nice thing to have in my collection.
Got Misato down to a Tee! Great shot ! Even got pen ! Woop!
haha nice!
Aww thanks! <3
Anytime! I love your little Pen-Pen doll. Adorable!! May I ask a question?
oh my god you just seriously made my day! Is this misato from the show or the new ovas?
Hehe thanks, you just made mine! I think her "at home" outfit is the same in the original series and in Rebuild so I guess it could be from either.
That's probably true. Which makes me giddy with happiness but I still must know, which was the inspiration. Please say tv show, please say tv show.
Well I've been doing this cosplay since before the Rebuild movies were released, so I guess it would be the original series. I am a fan of both though.
really? That's awesome! how long have you been doing this costume? I couldnt' get into rebuild. It was too different from the series. Rei didn't seem off standish enough and asuka didn't have the same spice. I don't know, I missed the original. I ended up watching the whole series after watching the first movie. ridiculous.
In my opinion, Rebuild isn't supposed to be a remake of the series. It's supposed to be a sort of alternate universe in which the characters have retained some subconscious memory of the events that took place in the series. Hence the differences in the characters. I've been cosplaying Asuka and Misato since 2005.
That's actually pretty genius, I may have been viewing it wrong this whole time. I liked the new graphics, the clean crisp look but hated the new take on the characters but if I imagine it as an extension of the human instrumentality project then it makes sense. what if I end up liking rebuild. what if you change my life??
o.o beautifuls
