FRANKFORT, Ky. – Cooler temperatures and shorter days bring out the fall colors that paint Kentucky's landscape in warm hues before winter arrives.
At about the same time, the breeding instinct in whitetail deer stirs, putting them on the move and more frequently into the paths of motorists.
About half of all collisions between vehicles and deer in Kentucky occur over the last three months of the calendar year, according to statistics compiled by Kentucky State Police. More of these collisions are reported in November than in any other month.
"October, November and December make up the main breeding season for whitetail deer," said Gabe Jenkins, deer and elk program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "The peak is in November."

Guanabenz Side Effects
Not all side effects for guanabenz may be reported. You should always consult a doctor or healthcare professional for medical advice. Side effects can be reported to the FDA here.
For the Consumer
Applies to guanabenz: oral tablet
In addition to its needed effects, some unwanted effects may be caused by guanabenz. In the event that any of these side effects do occur, they may require medical attention.
If any of the following side effects occur while taking guanabenz, check with your doctor or nurse as soon as possible:Signs and symptoms of overdose
- Dizziness (severe)
- irritability
- nervousness
- pinpoint pupils
- slow heartbeat
- unusual tiredness or weakness
Some of the side effects that can occur with guanabenz may not need medical attention. As your body adjusts to the medicine during treatment these side effects may go away. Your health care professional may also be able to tell you about ways to reduce or prevent some of these side effects. If any of the following side effects continue, are bothersome or if you have any questions about them, check with your health care professional:More common
- Dizziness
- drowsiness
- dryness of mouth
- weakness
- Decreased sexual ability
- headache
- nausea
After you stop taking this drug, it is possible that you may still experience side effects that need medical attention. If you notice any of the following side effects check with your doctor immediately:
- Anxiety or tenseness
- chest pain
- fast or irregular heartbeat
- headache
- increased salivation
- increase in sweating
- nausea or vomiting
- nervousness or restlessness
- shaking or trembling of hands or fingers
- stomach cramps
- trouble in sleeping
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to guanabenz: compounding powder, oral tablet
In comparative studies the overall incidence of side effects associated with guanabenz was as high or higher than that seen with methyldopa or clonidine, but particularly troublesome effects, such as sodium retention, mental depression or sexual dysfunction, which have been associated with these drugs, have not been associated with guanabenz.
Nervous system
The most common side effects involve the nervous system. Drowsiness is a complaint in up to 35% of patients, and, with dry mouth, is the main reason some patients discontinue therapy. Weakness or dizziness each occur in 6% and headache in 2% in patients.
Gastrointestinal side effects include dry mouth in up to 37%, constipation in 2%, and nausea in 1% of patients.
Postural hypotension may not have been observed, at least during initial therapy with guanabenz, due to peripheral vascular resistance and cardiac output remaining unchanged.
Although usually asymptomatic, guanabenz can decrease heart rate. Other cardiovascular side effects are rare. Unlike some other alpha-2-adrenoreceptor agonists, guanabenz is only rarely associated with orthostatic hypotension. Rebound hypertension can be a significant problem that may be accompanied by nervousness, palpitations, diaphoresis, anxiety, insomnia, malaise, and abdominal cramps. It has been observed anywhere from 16 to 72 hours after discontinuation of therapy.
Nasal congestion has been reported in less than 3% of patients.
Dermatologic rashes have been reported in less than 3% of patients.
Ocular side effects are limited to rare cases of blurry vision.
There are no serious endocrinologic side effects associated with guanabenz. The drug does not appear to adversely affect the lipid profile. Some data indicate significant decreases in total and LDL cholesterol levels during guanabenz therapy.
There are no known clinically significant renal side effects from guanabenz. Acutely (within the first day of therapy), guanabenz may cause a mild water diuresis. Unlike some alpha-2-adrenoreceptor agonists, guanabenz is not associated with sodium and water retention.
Some data have shown significant increases in glomerular filtration rate, natriuresis, and free water clearance associated with the use of guanabenz during the first few hours of therapy. Use of guanabenz for one week or more, however, has not been associated with significant changes in renal function parameters.

Kung Fu Bing recently closed in Chinatown, but weve found the giant panda that guarded its door (or a sibling, anyway) in Corona, Queens, of all places. We havent been this happy since we were reunited with Spot, the hydrocephalic dog that moved from St. Marks to Mulberry Street!
The chopstick-wielding bear can be found outside of a Taiwan hand pastry & bakery called Panda 88 (at 102-23 Roosevelt Avenue), and though the counterperson there couldnt tell us whether it came from Kung Fu Bing, we spotted some plastic cups with the KFB logo on them. Plus, the Chinese tacos depicted on the menu are the exact same bing that graced the picture menu there. Our guess is that this used to be (or was to be) a KFB, but because of financial or legal issues, its now Panda 88. But the panda (and the super-greasy pancakes stuffed with cut-rate deli meats) lives on.

Fuck Hamas for using children as human shields. Fuck Hamas for forcing civilian population to hide their weapons. Fuck Hamas in general. Fuck the bastards who kidnapped three kids and butchered them. Fuck the bastards who kidnapped another and burned him alive. Fuck my asshole government that chooses to escalate situations when it's convenient to distract from how fucked-up it truly is.

"What I say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. It may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore it knows it's not fooling a soul."
"Hey," said Shadow. "Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are."
The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes.
"Say 'Nevermore,'" said Shadow.
"Fuck you," said the raven."
"There's never been a true war that wasn't fought between two sets of people who were certain they were in the right. The really dangerous people believe they are doing whatever they are doing solely and only because it is without question the right thing to do. And that is what makes them dangerous."
"I miss you', he admitted.
'I'm here', she said.
'That's when I miss you most. When you're here. When you aren't here, when you're just a ghost of the past or a dream from another life, it's easier then."
"He wondered whether home was a thing that happened to a place after a while, or if it was something that you found in the end, if you simply walked and waited and willed it long enough."
"This isn't about what is . . . it's about what people think is. It's all imaginary anyway. That's why it's important. People only fight over imaginary things."

Do we not bleed?

"He hath disgraced me and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies—and what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute—and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction." – The Merchant of Venice, William Shakespeare.
What "I love you" means
May 24, 2014 § Leave a comment
I don't think that I've been in love as such,
Although I liked a few folk pretty well.
Love must be vaster than my smiles or touch,
For brave men died and empires rose and fell
For love: girls followed boys to foreign lands
And men have followed women into Hell.
In plays and poems someone understands
There's something makes us more than blood and bone
And more than biological demands…
For me, love's like the wind, unseen, unknown.
I see the trees are bending where it's been,
I know that it leaves wreckage where it's blown.
I really don't know what "I love you" means.
I think it means "Don't leave me here alone."
– Neil Gaiman.

In the monochrome of daily life, some people bring bursts of color and turn the occasional night into some kind of magic.
The day dawns, the magic fades away and there's nothing but shades of grey and the same old cycle I'm yet to break. But at least I have the memories.
There's color and magic in music, in new friends and old ones, in having tea at a pub while singing along to a Queen tribute show.
And in this boy, who, as all other boys I cared about, doesn't really love me, but shares his magic with me nonetheless:

The BETA program is intended to help students discover more of their leadership potential, expand their leadership knowledge, and gain a better understanding of how to engage their leadership potential on Geneva's campus both now and in the future. The program covers a variety of topics and engages in various activities that are relevant to developing college students as servant leaders – empowered to serve on campus, in the church, and in the community.
Each year, over 50 students participate in the BETA program, which falls during empty class timeslots and is therefore easy to add to a fall schedule. The program features lectures, exercises, discussions and a Q&A with a panel of current student leaders, all of which focus on the complex topic of leadership. A leadership retreat will be provided upon completion of the program.
"BETA made me aware of leadership positions on campus and gave me space and opportunity to think about which was the best suited to my strengths and gifts." – Miriam Troup, '14
"I learned a lot of great and helpful things from BETA. I learned about my strengths as a leader and how I can use them in all areas of my life, not just my job. I also met a lot of awesome people who I am still friends with today." – Samantha Johnson, '15
"I think the biggest thing I took away from BETA is friendships. I met a lot of other students who were striving for the same things as me, mostly to bring others to Christ by the example we set with our lives. The faculty working with BETA guided and supported us in becoming those leaders specifically here at Geneva." – Sarah Zora, '15
"BETA has given me great insights on how to be a good leader and helped me think of how I can incorporate good leadership skills in my everyday life." – Myriah Farmer, '16
"BETA really kick-started my journey of learning about leadership. The things we learned about inspired me to think critically about leadership both in a general sense and in a personal sense." – Kendall Bair, '16
"I had various leadership positions in high school with a few clubs and activities, but BETA opened my mind to view leadership in a whole new different way. I not only took away practical ways to be a leader and learn what the role of a leader looks like, but I gained a new appreciation for the way in which leadership works and what leadership can accomplish." – Russell Hall, '16

Gretchen Rossi and Alexis Bellino will be noticeably absent if you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online and catch up on last night's premiere.
Suffice it to say, returning cast members Tamra Barney and Vicki Gunvalson aren't exactly what you'd call broken up over the exile of their former co-stars.
The Season 9 opener saw Shannon Beador and Lizzie Rovsek taking over for the departed twosome, and for Tamra and Vicki, there is no love lost.
In fact, the ladies threw major shade at their former co-stars in a live television interview Monday on NBC's TODAY, admitting they don't miss them.
At all.
"We ran them out of the O.C.," Tamra said, to which Kathie Lee Gifford asked if they missed them and Vicki said, "I miss Alexis. Her and I are good friends."

Drew Christopher Brees (/ˈbriːs/;[1] born January 15, 1979) is an American football quarterback for the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for Purdue University, and was chosen by the San Diego Chargers with the first pick in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft. He left college as one of the most-decorated players in Purdue and Big Ten history, establishing 2 NCAA records, 13 Big Ten Conference records and 19 Purdue University records.[2] He remains the Big Ten Conference record-holder in virtually every passing category, including completions (1,026), yards (11,792) and touchdowns (90).[2]
Brees started his career with the San Diego Chargers, earning the starting job in 2002 and making the Pro Bowl in 2004. After injuring his shoulder at the end of the 2005 season, Brees signed with the New Orleans Saints, where he met almost immediate success, earning seven trips to the Pro Bowl and leading the Saints to their first Super Bowl. He was the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2004, the Offensive Player of the Year in 2008 and 2011, and the MVP of Super Bowl XLIV. Sports Illustrated named Brees as its 2010 Sportsman of the Year.[3]
Brees was born in Austin, Texas, the son of Mina (née Akins), an attorney, and Eugene Wilson ("Chip") Brees II, a prominent trial lawyer.[4] He was named after Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson.[5] His uncle, Marty Akins, was an All-American starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns college football team from 1975 to 1977. Chip Brees played basketball for the Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball team, and his grandfather, Ray Akins, had the third-most victories as a Texas high school football coach.[6][7]
Brees was selected as Texas High School 5A Most Valuable Offensive Player in 1996 and led the Westlake High School football team to 16–0 record and state championship.[8] As a high school football player, Brees completed 314 of 490 passes (64.1 percent) for 5,461 yards with 50 touchdowns including, in his senior season, 211 of 333 passes (63.4 percent) for 3,528 yards with 31 touchdowns.[9] Westlake went 28–0–1 when Brees started for two seasons and beat a Dominic Rhodes-led Abilene Cooper 55–15 in the 1996 title game.[6][9][10]
Brees graduated from Purdue University with a degree in industrial management, and played for the Purdue Boilermakers football team.[11] He is a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity. He left Purdue with Big Ten Conference records in passing yards (11,792), touchdown passes (90), total offensive yards (12,693), completions (1,026), and attempts (1,678). He led the Boilermakers to the 2001 Rose Bowl, Purdue's first appearance there since 1967, where Purdue lost by ten points to the Washington Huskies. Brees was a finalist for the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's best quarterback in 1999. He won the Maxwell Award as the nation's outstanding player of 2000 and won the NCAA's Today's Top VIII Award as a member of the Class of 2001. Brees was also fourth in Heisman Trophy voting in 1999 and third in 2000. Brees also tied an NCAA record with the longest pass ever (99 yards), to receiver Vinny Sutherland against Northwestern on September 25, 1999.
As a senior, Brees was named the Academic All-America Player of the Year, the first Purdue player since Bruce Brineman (1989) to earn national academic honors. Brees also was awarded Purdue's Leonard Wilson Award for unselfishness and dedication.

Brees' college success led to projections that he would be a mid-to-late first round draft pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, but he slipped due to concerns about his relatively short stature for a professional quarterback (6'0"), a perceived lack of arm strength, and a sense that he had succeeded in college in a spread offense. Ultimately, Brees was the second quarterback selected in the 2001 draft, chosen by the San Diego Chargers as the first pick of the second round.[12]
San Diego originally had the first pick in that draft, but traded it to Atlanta (which used it to draft Michael Vick) in return for the fifth pick of the first round, with which San Diego drafted LaDainian Tomlinson.[12]
Brees played in his first professional game on November 4, 2001 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He won the starting job over Doug Flutie during training camp before the start of the 2002 season. Brees started all 16 games for the Chargers during the 2002 season, leading the team to an 8-8 record. After a disappointing start to the 2003 season he was replaced by Flutie. Brees' career with the Chargers was in jeopardy after San Diego acquired NC State's Philip Rivers after the 2004 NFL Draft. After the starting quarterback switch, it was almost certain Brees' days as the Chargers' starting QB were over. However, Rivers held out nearly all of training camp,and Brees remained the starter throughout the 2004 season, where he started 15 games and led the team to a 12-4 regular season record. Brees posted spectacular numbers, completing 65.5% of his passes for 3,159 yards, with 27 touchdowns to only 7 interceptions, giving him a 104.8 passer rating. The Chargers won the AFC West and Brees was selected to the 2004 NFL Pro Bowl. He was named 2004 NFL Comeback Player of the Year.[13]
Brees became a free agent after the season and was not expected to return to San Diego, which had already committed a large sum of money to Rivers. The team eventually designated Brees a franchise player, giving him a one-year contract that quadrupled his pay to $8 million for 2005. Under the terms of the franchise player contract, Brees was eligible to be traded or sign with another team, but the Chargers would receive two future first round draft choices in return. He was not traded and continued as starting quarterback for the remainder of the 2005 season.[14]
Brees continued his productive play in 2005, as he posted a career high in passing yards with 3,576. Brees also posted an 89.2 rating, 10th best in the NFL. However, in the last game of the 2005 season against the Denver Broncos, Brees tore his labrum while trying to pick up his own fumble after being hit by Broncos safety John Lynch. Denver tackle Gerard Warren hit Brees while he was on the ground, causing the injury. Brees underwent arthroscopic surgery, performed by Dr. James Andrews, to repair the torn labrum in his right (throwing) shoulder on January 5, 2006. Subsequent reports mentioned additional rotator cuff damage and he also was treated by Dr. Saby Szajowitz to recover and regain muscle movement. He was selected as first alternate to the AFC Pro Bowl team for the 2005 season. He would have played in his second consecutive Pro Bowl due to the injury to starter Carson Palmer, but his own injury dictated that the AFC Pro Bowl roster would have to be filled by second alternate Jake Plummer.[citation needed]
After the season, the Chargers offered Brees a 5-year, $50 million contract that paid $2 million in base salary the first year and the rest heavily based on performance incentives. Brees evaluated the incentive-based offer as a sign of no confidence by the Chargers and promptly demanded the salary a top 5 "franchise" quarterback would receive.
After the Chargers refused to increase their offer, Brees met with other teams. The New Orleans Saints and the Miami Dolphins were interested. New Orleans made an offer that included $10 million in guaranteed money the first year and a $12 million option the second year. Miami was unsure if Brees's shoulder was completely healed and doctors suggested the team not sign him because of the injury.[15] The Dolphins ended negotiations and traded for Minnesota Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper instead. Brees signed a 6-year, $60 million deal with the Saints on March 14, 2006.
Brees had a productive first year with the Saints. The team, under first-year head coach Sean Payton, rebounded from its disastrous 2005 season (when the team was unable to play in New Orleans due to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina and struggled to a 3–13 record) to finish with a 10–6 regular season record and won the NFC South division title. Brees threw a league-leading 4,418 passing yards, finished third in the league with 26 touchdown passes and 11 interceptions and a 96.2 passer rating. Brees was named starting quarterback for the NFC in the 2007 Pro Bowl. On January 5, 2007, Brees was named first runner-up behind former teammate Tomlinson for league MVP by the Associated Press. Brees and Tomlinson were co-recipients of the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.
On January 13, 2007, in his first playoff game for New Orleans, Brees was 20–32 in passing attempts with 1 touchdown and no interceptions against the Philadelphia Eagles in the Louisiana Superdome. The Saints held on to win 27–24, and advanced to the franchise's first NFC Championship Game against the Chicago Bears. Though he completed 27 of 49 passes for 354 yards against the Chicago Bears, and two touchdowns, Brees committed three costly turnovers, and was penalized for an intentional grounding in the endzone, resulting in a safety, as the Saints lost 39–14.[16] Brees then dislocated his left elbow during the first quarter of the Pro Bowl.
The following season Brees passed for 4,423 yards and tied a then team record with 28 touchdowns. He also set the NFL record previously held by Rich Gannon for pass completions in a single season with 440. However, the Saints missed the playoffs.
In 2008, the Saints again missed the playoffs but Brees had a strong year statistically, finishing 15 yards short of the NFL record for passing yards thrown in a single season set by Dan Marino in 1984. He finished the season with 5,069 yards and became the second quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season.[17] He passed for 300 yards ten times during the season, tying Rich Gannon's 2002 record. He was named FedEx Air Player of the Week for his performances during weeks 8 and 12 and was named the AP 2008 Offensive Player of the Year.[18]
In the first game of the 2009 season against the Detroit Lions, Brees set a career-high and franchise-tying record with six touchdown passes, (NFL record for opening week, since surpassed) going 26/34 for 358 yards. The next week, Brees led the Saints to a 48–22 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, throwing for 311 yards and three touchdown passes. Brees also tied the record for most touchdown passes by the end of week 2 with 9. In week 6 against the 5–0 New York Giants, Brees completed 23 of 30 passes for 369 yards, 4 touchdown passes and a passer rating of 156.8 in a dominant 48–27 victory.
In week 7, Brees led a dramatic comeback victory on the road against the Miami Dolphins, 46–34. The Saints quickly faced a 24–3 deficit in the second quarter, trailing for the first time all season at that point, and failing to score on their first possession as they had in all of their previous contests. Brees had a poor outing, but provided two crucial rushing touchdowns, one just before halftime to narrow the deficit to 24–10, and one in the third quarter to give the Saints their first lead of the game, 37–34.
The next week, Brees threw for 308 yards on 25 of 33 passing along with two touchdowns and one interception in leading the Saints to a 35–27 victory and franchise tying best start at 7–0 against the rival Atlanta Falcons. In week 9, Brees helped guide the team to a 30–20 victory over the Carolina Panthers. This would be Drew's first victory over the Carolina Panthers in the Superdome and gave the Saints their best ever start in franchise history at 8–0. In week 12, Brees led the Saints to an 11–0 record, defeating the New England Patriots 38–17 on Monday Night Football. Drew Brees totaled 371 yards passing, posting a perfect passer rating of 158.3, and is the only person to throw for five touchdowns against a team coached by Bill Belichick. After close victories over the Washington Redskins and Falcons in successive weeks to start 13–0, Brees and the Saints lost their first game of the season to the Dallas Cowboys, 24–17, after DeMarcus Ware caused a Brees fumble in the final seconds, ending a fourth quarter rally. The Saints then lost their last two games, with Brees sitting out the week 17 finale against Carolina. Their 13–3 record secured the #1 seed in the NFC.
Brees' individual statistics led to numerous accolades,[19] including a Pro Bowl selection, the Maxwell Football Club's Bert Bell Award, and runner-up in voting for the AP MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, and All-Pro awards. He finished the season with a completion percentage of 70.62, establishing a new NFL record.[20][21]
In the divisional round of the playoffs, the Saints routed the Arizona Cardinals 45–14 to advance to the NFC Championship, where they defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31–28 in overtime. Brees completed 17 of 31 passes for 197 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The underdog Saints defeated the Indianapolis Colts 31–17 in Super Bowl XLIV on February 7, 2010. Brees tied a Super Bowl record with 32 pass completions and won the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Award. He threw for 288 yards and 2 touchdowns. It was the first league championship in Saints franchise history.[22] Brees was named the 2010 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year, both for his winning the Super Bowl and his charitable work towards the reconstruction of New Orleans. On December 17, 2010, he was named AP Male Athlete of the Year.
In 2010, the Saints qualified for the playoffs as a wild card team with an 11-5 record, but were eliminated in the Wild Card round by the Seattle Seahawks (with the Seahawks being the first team in NFL history to qualify for the playoffs with a losing record in a non-strike season), 41-36. Despite the disappointing end to the season, Brees was selected to his fifth Pro Bowl (fourth as a Saint) and was voted the No. 9 NFL player of 2011 by his peers.
In 2011, Drew Brees broke Dan Marino's 27 year-old record for most passing yards in one season (5,084) in the 15th game of the season (week 16) against the Atlanta Falcons at home in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome with a TD pass to Darren Sproles. Brees also set a new Saints franchise record for passing touchdowns in a season with 46.
In week 2, Drew Brees defeated the Chicago Bears during the Saints' home-opener for the first time in his career as a starting quarterback. With his first win over the Bears, Brees has defeated all NFL teams except the Baltimore Ravens.
In a home game on 12/4/2011 against the Detroit Lions, Brees passed for 342 yards. Brees' performance gave him 4,031 yards on the season, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to eclipse the 4,000-yard mark in the first 12 games of a season, and the first quarterback to reach 4 consecutive seasons with 4000+ yards and 30+ TD passes.
In week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings, Brees threw for 412 yards with 5 passing TDs. Brees became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 5 touchdowns, 400+ yards, and a completion percentage of 80% in a game.
In week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, on 12/26/2011 at 10:35 pm New Orleans time at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Brees broke Dan Marino's long standing record of passing yards in a year of 5,084 with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Darren Sproles with just under 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the game. Brees needed 305 yards to break the record entering the game and exceeded that mark with 307. He ended the game having thrown for 5,087 total passing yards for the regular season with 1 regular season game remaining. With his second-quarter, 8-yard touchdown pass to Marques Colston, Brees extended his streak of consecutive games with a touchdown pass to 42 games. Marino congratulated Brees via Twitter after the game, saying "Congrats to @drewbrees. Great job by such a special player." Brees responded by tweeting, "Thanks to @DanMarino for his class and support during this run. It is an honor to attempt to follow the example he set for us all."[23]
In week 17 against the Carolina Panthers, Brees closed out the season by setting 6 NFL records, finishing the year with 468 completions for 5,476 yards, edging Tom Brady of the New England Patriots who also surpassed Marino's record with 5,235 yards. Brees averaged 342.25 yards passing per game, which broke Dan Fouts' record of 320 in a strike-shortened 1982 season.[24][25] (In 2013 Peyton Manning bested Brees' record by only 1 yard, and finished the season with an NFL-record 5,477 passing yards, averaging 342.31 yards per game.)
After defeating the Detroit Lions 45-28 in the NFC Wild Card game, Brees and the Saints lost the NFC Divisional Round Playoff game to the San Francisco 49ers.
On July 13, the Saints and Brees agreed to a 5-year, $100 million contract. The contract has the largest amount of guaranteed money in NFL history ($60 million). $40 million of the contract will be paid the first year.[26]
Week 5 saw Brees throw a 40-yd TD pass to Devery Henderson against the Chargers. This was his 48th consecutive game with a TD pass. With that TD pass, Brees broke Johnny Unitas' consecutive game streak with at least 1 TD pass which had stood unbroken for more than 52 years. Sean Payton, Joe Vitt and Mickey Loomis were granted permission to watch the week 5 game against the San Diego Chargers due to Brees potentially breaking Unitas' record.[27]
In the Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons, Brees threw 0 TDs and a career high 5 INTs, ending his consecutive game streak with at least 1 touchdown pass at 54.[28]
In Week 14, Brees threw for 354 yards, giving him his 7th straight 4,000-yard passing season, surpassing Peyton Manning's record of 6 straight seasons. This was also his 5th straight season with at least 30 TD passes & 4,000 yards passing, also an NFL record.
Although Brees finished the 2012 season with 5,177 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, he had the worst defensive support in the NFL which became an NFL record-worst defense and the team finished 7-9 that season, missing the playoffs.
Brees was selected to the 2013 Pro Bowl as an injury replacement, replacing Robert Griffin III who suffered an injury.[29]
In Week 12 Brees passed Warren Moon for 5th place on the career passing yards list. It gave him 49,566 total passing yards. During Week 14, Brees became the fastest player ever to join the 50,000-yard club. He did it in 183 games, passing the 50,000 milestone during a 31-13 Saints win over the Carolina Panthers on December 8. Brees also extended his NFL record to a 6th straight season of at least 30 touchdown passes/4,000 passing yards, his 3rd straight 5,000-yard season, in addition to his NFL-record 8th straight 4,000-yard season.[30] The Saints finished with an 11-5 record, defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round, but lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisionals.

Brees holds numerous NFL records including highest completion percentage in a season (71.2%), most 300+ yard passing games in a season (13), most completions in a season (468) and holds the record for most consecutive games with at least 1 touchdown pass (54), surpassing Johnny Unitas's record of 47 straight games with a touchdown pass, a record which stood for 52 years.[31] Since joining the New Orleans Saints, Brees has led all NFL quarterbacks in: total passing yards four times (three of those over 5,000 yards), three times in completion percentage, once in passer rating, and four times in touchdown passes.[32] Brees is the owner of the 5th most career passing yards all-time, behind only Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino and John Elway.[33] Brees also has the 4th most career touchdown passes all-time in NFL history.[34]
Brees married his college sweetheart, Brittany Dudchenko, in February 2003. They met and dated while attending Purdue University. He and his wife purchased and renovated a home in Uptown New Orleans. Their first child, a son named Baylen Robert Brees, was born on January 15, 2009, Brees' 30th birthday.[47] Their second son, Bowen Christopher Brees, was born on October 19, 2010.[48] Brees solicited the help of his Twitter followers in naming his second son. A third son, Callen Christian Brees, was born on August 15, 2012.[49] Brees maintains his offseason home in San Diego.[50]
Brees is a Christian. Brees became a Christian at the age of 17 when he was at church with a torn ACL and was wondering who he was and what was his purpose in life. Brees spoke about his faith saying, "I live for God, for the faith that I have in Him. Knowing the sacrifices that Jesus Christ made on the cross for me and feeling like it's in God's hands, all I have to do is just give my best, commit the rest to Him. Everything else is taken care of. That takes the weight off anybody's shoulders. It's to give you confidence to know that you've got somebody looking out for you."[51]
On July 6, 2010, Brees released his first book,[52] entitled Coming Back Stronger: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Adversity, co-authored by Chris Fabry and published by Tyndale House.[53] Coming Back Stronger opened at number 3 on the nonfiction bestseller list of The New York Times.[54][55]
Brees' mother, Mina Brees, died on August 7, 2009, aged 59. The death was ruled a suicide.[56] Brees was briefly excused from training camp for a "family matter".[57] In 2006, Brees had described their relationship as "nonexistent" ever since he refused to hire her as his agent when he entered the NFL.[58][59] After her death, Brees stated that this quote was three years old and that his relationship with his mother had been improving.[60]
In April 2010, Brees was voted by fans as the cover athlete of EA Sports Madden NFL 11 video game.[61]
On March 30, 2010, Brees became the national spokesperson for AdvoCare International,[62] a multi-level marketing company[63] producing weight management, nutritional supplements, and personal care products.
Brees wears #9 on his uniform in honor of baseball player Ted Williams.[64]
Brees is active in a number of charitable activities. In New Orleans, he has become (in the words of a 2010 Sports Illustrated profile) "an athlete as adored and appreciated as any in an American city today".[65] When Sports Illustrated selected him for the 2010 Sportsman of the Year award, it said the award was "[f]or not only leading the New Orleans Saints to the first Super Bowl title in the franchise's history, but also for helping lead the city of New Orleans' rebirth after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina".[3]
Brees has been involved in Hurricane Katrina recovery.[66] Drew and Brittany's Brees Dream Foundation announced a partnership[67][68] in 2007 with international children's charity Operation Kids, to rebuild and restore and recreate academic and athletic facilities, parks and playgrounds, after-school programs, mentoring programs for the intellectually disabled, neighborhood revitalization projects and child care facilities in New Orleans. In addition Drew sponsors the Rebuilding thru Brotherhood program to invite fellow Sigma Chi members to the New Orleans community to build homes with the Habitat for Humanity.
Brees has acquired the nickname "Breesus" among Saints fans.[69][70][71]
Brees visited the Guantanamo Bay detention camp on a USO tour in late June 2009. Following his return, Brees was quoted as stating that Guantanamo captives were being treated ten times better than convicts in U.S. prisons. [72][73][74][75]
In February 2008, Brees signed a promotional deal with Chili's Grill & Bar to promote the chain's new line of hamburgers. The promotion helped raise money for charity.[76] In June 2008, Brees participated in the Pro Sports Team Challenge, a competition for pro athletes to help raise money for charities. The charity Brees played for was Operation Kids.[77]
On February 18, 2007, Brees was honored by the Krewe of Bacchus, a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade organization, as the 2007 Grand Marshall of the Bacchus parade.[78]
Brees presided as Bacchus XLII for the 2010 parade on February 14, 2010, one week after the Super Bowl during Mardi Gras season.[79]
In June 2010, President Obama appointed Brees to be co-chair of the newly renamed President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, along with former Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes.[80][81]
In October 2010, Brees appeared in an It Gets Better video, where he gave an anti-bullying message.[82]

27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
Who else has a Dell 2711?
I got my first one today, I say my first because there are plans for it to get a friend.
I've never been a huge fan of LCD's, for years I've been using old Sony Trinitron CRT's, either IBMs or Dells.
They have been fantastic, awesome quality, massive resolution and second hand, really cheap.
But, being old and used a LOT they have had a habit of dying on me, and one of them died yesterday, leaving with me with just one monitor (which is never enough).
I had a feeling it was going to happen, so have been looking at replacement LCD's.
What I want is an NEC or Lacie, but they are just way out of the budget.
So I went out today and got a Dell u2711 (27inch), which gets consistently top reviews.
A 3011 (30inch) would have been nice, but costs twice as much and I can't fit two on my desk.
The 2711 gets similar results for image quality, has the same horizontal resolution and only 160 pixels less vertical res.
So, after 8 hours, what do I think?
It needed calibrating.
Forget about the BS bit of paper that comes with it saying it's been calibrated.
I don't know what Dell use to do the calibration, but I suspect it's an old blind man who calibrates by eye.
After calibration it looks VERY good. In fact colours are very close to those on my remaining IBM P275 (CRT), which is the first time I've ever had two different monitors calibrate nearly the same.
The blacks are good, the whites are very good and colours and saturation look great.
The extra horizontal res is nice, but I am noticing the difference in vertical res.
How does it compare to the old school CRT?
Well the Sony Trinitron is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, monitor screens ever made. I've gone through about 6 of them now, and once calibrated they have all been amazing to look at.
I've spent hours working on LCD's, but always enjoyed coming home to my big pair of Trinitrons. They were just so nice and natural look at.
And the resolution, oh! the resolution!
Two 21inch screens each running at 2048x1536, a total of 4096x1536 pixels of screen real estate to play with.
I'm one of those people who likes to edit at the highest resolution possible, as close as I can get to 100% the better, and bigger I can get it the better still.
Well the Dell definitely lets me get it big!
The 2560x1440 native res is really nice, and the screen is physically a lot wider than the old CRT, while being roughly the same height.
Being larger, the pixel size is also bigger, so text is actually easier to read and the screen is a noticeably sharper.
Currently I do notice the missing 100 vertical pixels, but I don't think it's a big deal and will get used to it.
I'm running my last CRT beside it at 1920x1440 to match, and it works (although more on that later).
After a couple of days I expect I'll be used to the different res and won't notice the missing few as I take advantage of the massive increase in horizontal res.
(and it's nice to play games in 16:9, some just don't work in 4:3, like COD MW3)
Quick note on gaming, it works very well. CRT's are regarded as gaming gods because they have zero input lag and can run at massive refresh rates. I haven't noticed a difference.
So hows the colour and are all the blacks and whites there?
The colour is very good, almost as good as the CRT. It's sort of so close you can forget the difference, but sometimes I see it and it catches me out.
Contrast is excellent, and along with the brightness once properly set looks better than the CRT (yes I said that).
I did have to reduce both values from factory default though.
The white tones are all there too, not as clearly defined as they are on the CRT, but I can see all of them in the Spyder Pro test screen.
Of course they lack the pure white that the CRT does, the bulb in the back is always going to mean they are never as white as the CRT can be.
Fortunately the brain adjusts for such things
The blacks are a different story. The very last 2 blocks on the gradient chart are easily visible on the CRT, but merge into one on the 2711.
So while LCD's have come a long, long way, they still can't match a really top CRT.
Does this really mean anything?
Well I have yet to actually notice it in use, but it's there. If your really anal about black and whites then it's something to consider. Although unless your already using a nice CRT, or something as good as the 2711, then chances are it will be an improvement.
I've been through some of the black and whites in my library and I'm happy with the missing black tone.
Who cares, its functional, has a thin bezel and it fits on my desk (just)
To get the most out of it, i.e. make full use of it's 10bit display, you need to connect the 2711 via Displayport.
If you have a Mac, that's easy as they all have display port connections now.
If you have a PC, it could be an issue, although most of the mid to high end cards released in the last 18 months have display port connections.
If you don't have display port it will run of a DVI'd connection which is now common, even on computers with internal graphics.
It won't support a full 10bit work flow, but it will run at full res and to be honest, I doubt you'll notice the difference.
If you've still got a computer with only a VGA connection forget about it. Spend the money on a new computer first. It will connect over VGA (and comes with the VGA cable connected, I suspect this is how it was calibrated and explains the shocking factory results).
But, VGA has a limited on horizontal resolution of 2048 pixels, so it will not run at it's native resolution, which just looks really, really ugly (I tried it).
The built in USB ports are nice too. I've connected my calibration puck to them, which frees up space on the back of my comp and helps with cable management.
There's also a card reader, but no CF slot, only SD etc. Great if you have a 60D, not so good for those of us with 5D's and other older Canons.
Running more than one?
We all know 1 is never enough, Cameras, Lenses, cats and girlfriends. The more the merrier.
Well it's a physically BIG screen. You need a wide load sign to carry it down a hallway.
That said, I like to have the extra space of a second screen, I'm used to working with massive res, and I've kept my remaining CRT connected.
If your currently working with a pair of 19, or even 24inch LCD's, the step up to a 27inch might give you enough space in one screen.
Of course if working on two different monitors is part of your workflow (using the grid in LR, having mail open etc) then your going to still need a second screen.
I'm going to get another 2711, but I have a huge desk. My office space is a bedroom at home, and fully 1/3 of the wall space is taken up by my desk.
But what you really want is another 19 inch screen sitting beside it in portrait orientation. Something with 1440x900 res.
Ideally you have an ATI Graphics card with eyefinity, then you can put two 19inch monitors beside it for a 3 screen set up. Awesome for gaming
Quick note, mixing LCD and CRT doesn't seem to work very well.
With the 2711 connected via DP or DVI, and the CRT via VGA one of them will flicker and do weird things.
I believe the graphics card is having a hard time outputting a both a digital and analogue signal.
This is with an ATI 5870, a pretty high end card with lots of grunt.
I expect a second 2711 also connected via DP will resolve this.
Any questions ask away, there is a lot more to the 2711 than what I've covered, but hopefully it gives you some idea of how it compares to one of the best monitors ever made, and what it's like to use.
I've also got a lot to learn about it yet

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
It's there, but it's not noticeable.
In fact I only just noticed now that you mentioned it.
I know once I stop thinking about it, I won't notice it again.
If you happen to sit really close to your monitor it could be more of an issue, but then your sitting too close

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
Quick note on the blacks:
This post: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...postcount=5348 with photos by m.shalaby, highlights exactly what I was afraid of.
If you look in the corners of each image there is a really nice black into grey graduation.
On my Trinitron CRT this is buttery smooth, and it should be same in print.
On a cheap LCD it would be graduated, with lines demarcating each change in graduation.,
On the 2711 its 99% buttery smooth. Most of it is very smooth, but, if you look at it closely there is one line of graduation.
It's enough to show that it's not as good as the CRT, and enough that someone really into their black and white processing might be put off.
But it's not enough that you won't notice unless your looking for it, and I think most people will subconsciously make an adjustment for it and not see it.

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
Hopefully I should be receiving mine next week sometime.
I do alot of black and white work, interesting to hear this.
I'm sure I'll be blown away from the screen though.
A quick question have you also noticed that the frame is not straight when sitting?
I have read a few reviews and people have complained alot about this happening, wondering if mine will be one of them??
( the screen being on an angle when sitting on a desk )

Good writeup! By far.. My favorite monitor to edit on. We have a 27" iMac and I like the u2711's matte screen so much better.. Even with video.

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
I've had a U2711 for a few months and absolutely love it. It's a huge step past the U2410s I had before.
If I had one complaint it would be that the pixel size is a bit small for the default Windows fonts and when set to 120dpi a lot of apps don't look correct because their devs didn't bother to read the chapter of their Dummies book on scaling...

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
Nope, it's nice and square.
If you have an imperfections in your desk, or the base is sitting on anything not totally level, then it will show up though, simply because it's so wide
Enjoy it!
Cheers Rene, I don't I can though I'm only using a Spyder 2.
I know you can with the Elite, but not the Pro.
I believe they both use a similar panel, except for the matte coating of course.

If your used to smaller monitors, or much lower resolution monitors with larger pixel sizes, then yes the 2711 will appear to have very small text.
But they are actually larger than what I am used to. The Trinitron screens are the same height, but display more horizontal resolution.
So this is an improvement for me
I run large icons in windows, I don't adjust the text DPI, but I do use the zoom feature in chrome on some web pages.
I also use the "larger text and more spacey" forum style here

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
You recommend using DisplayPort, is this similar to HDMI? I'm pretty sure my Radeon HD 5850 card has DisplayPort but I've never heard of/used that format. Generally just used the DVI cable.

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
The 5850 does have display port, I think it has two, one mini and one full size.
I used to have one (before it went pop) and I'm pretty sure it had two.
Displayport, like HDMI is a digital connection, but HDMI has a bandwidth limit and currently does support higher resolution than 1920x1080, well below the 2560x1440 of this monitor.
It's also only 8bit and to get the most out of it you need a 10bit workflow (software, graphics card, connection and monitor).
Although, most people will not notice the difference.
DVi-D is also digital, and like HDMI is only 8bit, but it does support the full resolution of the display.
So if you don't have display port it is a viable option.
The monitor comes with a display port cable, if you look at the out puts on graphics card, it's rectangular female connection with one corner cut off. Looks like HDMI, but is not symmetrical.

I'm another CRT holdout, running a 21" G520 rescued from the dumpster at work! As you related in another thread, the poor thing was initially grossly out of whack, but responded brilliantly to a good reset and running of the 'image restoration' function.
Have you given http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ a look on your new LCD?

Re: 27 inch monitor, the Dell u2711
Been using mine for the past week, catching up on editing.
Must say that I'm impressed with the monitor. It is a masive step up from a 14.5 " laptop.
Just waiting now for a calibrater to be delivered and then I'm set.
Has anyone got a hood for their monitor?

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday villa in Esparron-de-Verdon
Located at the centre of the Verdon Regional Park at an altitude of 450 m, bordering the lake, the village of Esparron de Verdon is nestled in a green setting. The villa was completed in June 2006 with a 4 x 9 m swimming pool surrounded by a large terrace overlooking the lake. The village, the castle, was recently refurbished. Small private garden with a lounge, in between the olive groves. The balcony offers a bright impressive view.
It is a great place for a calm and restorative holiday, or an active one, all year round there is: horse riding, hiking and cycling, canoeing, kayaking,pedalos, fishing, windsurfing, climbing, paragliding and golf. Cultural attractions: museums, earthenware, truffles, wine, olives, honey and lavender, the biggest prehistoric museum in Europe, the biggest canyon in Europe, we have 300 sunny days each year and the bluest sky in France.
Once the summer heat fades, the autumn is bewitching, the countryside is once again awash with hues of an almost virginal beauty...
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed

After a gun goes off in a Colorado Springs apartment complex early Saturday morning, one man is dead.
Springs police say they were called to a shooting around 3:00 a.m. near S. Murray Blvd. and Airport Road. When police showed up to the Wind Mill Apartments, on the 4000 block of Lacy Lane, they say they found paramedics already treating a 38-year-old man with a gunshot wound. Police describe the situation in a report as, "an apparent accidental discharge of a firearm."
The 38-year-old was transported to Memorial Central Hospital but later died from his injuries; his name hasn't been released.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Jurors in the piracy trial of a Somali man who served as a translator during a hostage siege heard him making demands on a recorded phone conversation with a negotiator for the ship' owner.
But the ship's captain at Ali Mohamed Ali's trial also testified this week that Ali whispered a comforting word to him after the call was over: "Bluffing."
The two images - an aggressive negotiator and a calming presence - are at the center of Ali's trial. The government alleges that Ali negotiated a ransom on behalf of Somali pirates during a 2008 takeover of a Danish merchant ship in the Gulf of Aden. Ali's lawyers say he was essentially a prisoner himself and tried to help the crew as best he could.

X-ray Binaries
Mass Exchange in X-ray Binaries
Determining Orbits and Masses
Not all neutron star systems, however, have intense magnetic fields. It
appears that in many of the low mass X-ray binary systems, the field is much
weaker. In these cases, the flow of material onto the neutron star is more
erratic, with the pulsations unstable. Many of these low magnetic field
systems show what are called "quasi-periodic oscillations" (QPO).
These oscillations seem to originate from the interaction of the neutron star
with the surrounding
disk, or from instabilities in the captured material caused by the
overwhelming intensity of the X-ray emission. Study of QPO in low mass
binaries provides astronomers new insight into how the neutron star interacts
with its surroundings.
