Aliens was great, I'll grant you that. T2...meh. I liked the first better. Cameron is OVERRATED. Two of the highest grossing films, sure, but they're both complete and utter pants. Sorry. Titanic was slow frickin torture. Avatar was average, at best. Watchable, but nothing great. Cameron's success is undeniable, but his talent is debatable. All his best work was over a decade ago, and most of his success is easily explainable by the lack of taste among the general audience. People like stupid movies. *shrug* event, you can pretend I don't know what I'm talking about all you want, but it's an opinion. I see Cameron as making popular movies, not great ones. Sort of like Michael Bey, except they make a lot more sense and are at least watchable.
First you admit you like the "stupid movies" along with everybody else, then at the same time you say T1 is better than T2? And T2 is "utter pants"? Oh my freakin' goodness, are you high?
mrshumphreys wrote:Cameron's success is undeniable, but his talent is debatable. All his best work was over a decade ago'
Well, considering James Cameron hadn't made a movie in over a decade, your "point" is quite irrelevant. You don't know what the hell you're talkin' about.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY (KMOV.com) – Three women are in custody on charges of assaulting a high school freshman Wednesday.
Police say the women joined in when an altercation broke out in the lunch room of McCluer North High School in Florissant.
The women were reportedly at the school to take a female student, a relative of theirs, out for lunch. According to school officials, the women arrived at McCluer North and followed proper procedures. They signed in with the school security officer, and did not appear suspicious in any way.
According to security footage, the women were walking toward their relative when she got into a fight with a freshman student.
Officers say the relative and another student began fighting with the freshman, and the adults joined in.
At one point, according to footage, there were five attackers; three adults and two students assaulting the freshman student.
School officials broke up the fight, and two adults and both students were arrested on the scene. After reviewing the footage, administrators also recommended the third adult be charged.
All three adults, identified as Jasmine Boyland, Ciera Hutson and Patricia Clark, are facing assault, tresspassing and property damage charges. The students are charged with assault and property damage.

Payroll recruitment agency listing
Payroll staff ensure that a company's employees receive their payments on time.
While specific qualifications are not required to work in payroll jobs, it is essential for candidates to feel comfortable working with numbers. Those with previous experience of bookkeeping work are likely to be at an advantage, as are those with experience of computer use. It may be possible for school leavers with GCSEs to enter into payroll jobs through an apprenticeship scheme.
Payroll staff are expected to develop their skills whilst in employment. Experienced staff members may provide new recruits with training on the use of specialist payroll software. Alternatively, staff may have the opportunity to study for formal qualifications that cover the use of payroll software. Relevant qualifications for payroll professionals include, but are not limited to, the Association of Accounting Technicians Certificate in Payroll Administration. With greater experience and responsibility, staff may have the chance to take on more advanced qualifications, such as the Institute of Payroll Professionals Foundation Degree in Payroll Management.
Payroll staff are hired by organisations in all industry sectors, including finance, retail and the NHS. Some payroll professionals work for payroll firms that undertake payroll services on behalf of companies that lack their own payroll departments. In full-time jobs, payroll experts are typically required to work standard office hours, Monday to Friday. Part-time and temporary employment opportunities are readily available and may be publicised through recruitment agencies that specialise in handling accounting jobs.
Starting salaries for payroll staff are around £15,000 a year, rising to up to £25,000 for those with experience. Payroll staff who wish to move up the career ladder may be able to progress into payroll supervisor or manager roles.

{besps_c}0|8.jpg|Even the Christmas trees in New York are fabulously dressed from head to toe! The Swarovski star that tops the Rockefeller Center tree is brilliant.|{/besps_c}I just learned about a new BJD debuting on December 6—it's a Ruby Red Galleria exclusive for DOLLS. The creation is so spot-on in its costuming and its attitude, I swear that one of the designers must have been tailing me last month.
When my friend Cam phoned me and invited me to the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting, I should have said "no." Any sane person would have, but sanity and an evening with Cam rarely go hand-in-hand. Instead, I agreed, and we headed out to Midtown Manhattan on one of the most crowded, most frantic nights of the year.
As we attempted to approach the skating rink where the enormous evergreen will reign supreme, I looked at Cam and burst out laughing.
"Isn't this how 'The Day of the Locust' ends?" I shouted to him. (That film from the 1970s is among my and Cam's favorite flicks. It stars Karen Black and Donald Sutherland, and it concludes with a horrible, free-for-all deadly crowd stampede.)
"Don't be such a Grinch," he called back. "Or should I say 'Grinchette'!"
"I'm not sure there is a female Grinch," I replied. "I know there was a Smurfette, the only blue gal around. But a Grinchette? I have to check my Seuss."
And so this intellectual discourse continued as we fought our way through the jangling and jostling crowd—and, yes, the mass of people were LITERALLY jangling as they jostled. A huge number of them had on Santa hats with bells affixed or had bells attached to their lapels or collars. They were rude but they were rhythmic!
Since our trekking was so slow, and the other gawkers had gotten their much earlier to stake out their spots, Cam and I didn't so much watch the tree lighting as watch the other folks' reactions to all of the events.
A shrill shriek would emerge from the people way ahead of us.
"What is it?" I'd ask.
"Il Vole," Cam would reply, referencing the teenage opera singers.
A cheer would erupt.
"Who is that?" I questioned.
"Chris Mann, from 'The Voice.'" Another opera singer, who is marketed as a heartthrob.
Then just a smattering of applause.
"Mayor Bloomberg," we both declared.
Since we were merely hearing the audio playback of the concert, we gazed at all the young men and women surrounding us.
"I think there is more wool here on Sixth Avenue than in all the sheep farms in Scotland," Cam proclaimed.
Looking around, I had to agree.
Guys and girls were all decked out in the "official" apparel of the season: woolen flap hats, jauntily tied scarves, and boots. Girls had on legwarmers—"Hello, Flashdancers"—and fingerless gloves. ("What's the point of that?" Cam groused. "Are we supposed to WANT our fingernails to turn blue?") We had our very own Joan & Melissa Rivers Red Carpet fashion critique.
There's a certain hip look that New Yorkers achieve—even when they are multilayering, they still come across as thin, chic, and hip. When I add scarves and sweaters and hats to my wardrobe, I look bundled up and ready to explode: envision the Michelin Tire Man, but not as perky.
When these twenty-somethings put on the extra bits of fabric, they look like they are taking a break en masse from shooting the Abercrombie & Fitch catalog. It really is quite amazing.
"I wish we could bottle their youth," Cam lamented, looking at all the rosy-cheeked kids, teens, and college students who were scrambling about.
"Yep," I agreed, "but can you imagine how much it would cost? And just how big would that bottle have to be! Better just to dream about it."
And, wouldn't you know it, just in time for Christmas . . . a doll that perfectly embodies that free-spirited New York City style has loped onto the scene.
The ball-jointed doll, which is a collaboration between DOLLS magazine and Ruby Red Galleria, is fittingly named "Ravena, Winter Chic." Limited to 100 pieces, she'll sell for 149.95. And, like all the other fashionable femmes who congregate in Manhattan, she weighs only 2 pounds, 6.9 ounces! The "Ravena" doll is bundled up and beautiful. Quite a feat, indeed!
Like her advertising copy says: A New York City native, the harsh NYC winters don't stop "Ravena, Winter Chic," a DOLLS dressed doll exclusive by Ruby Red Galleria, from exploring the city she loves. From uptown boutiques and coffee shops to downtown restaurants and theater, "Ravena, Winter Chic" bundles into her purple tights and faux-fur boots, corduroy short pants, pansy T-shirt, black motorcycle-style jacket and cozy knit hat to hit the streets in style. Even when the elements are unforgiving, "Ravena" survives and thrives in the city that never sleeps! The fully dressed 12-inch ball-jointed vinyl doll features removable wig and eyes, plus underwear and a sweet "love" tank top.
Ruby Red Galleria always has a way with its wardrobe, and "Ravena, Winter Chic" is no exception. I am sure Cam will be ordering one online. He's probably circled December 6 on his calendar. After all, if he was willing to chew "instant youth" vitamins or spray on "adolescent forever" cologne, can you imagine how happy he'll be to have a chic New Yorker to call his own?
"Exercising and eating well . . . who could be bothered," Cam knowingly observes. "I'd rather play my way to younger days."
And, yes, it can't be denied. Cam has the healthiest inner-child in town!
The fourth Pullip and Dal Doll Lovers Event (PUDDLE) drew 60 doll lovers from 10 different states and Canada to the Elk Grove Village Holiday Inn in June. This year's theme, cranes, was inspired by the sandhill cranes at the group's charity organization, the Willowbrook Wildlife Center. Six custom dolls and other items donated by sponsors like The Sleeping Elf and Denise's Dolls were raffled off at the event, raising $500 for the center.
The weekend started Friday night with dinner at Mitsuwa Japanese Mall in Arlington Heights, followed by a tea party at the hotel. PUDDLE officially kicked off at 9 a.m. Saturday, starting with an organized buy-sell-trade opportunity, and dozens of fans milled around trading and buying doll wigs, eye chips, bodies, clothing, and more.
Every attendee received a door prize, thanks to generous donations from many sponsors. Distribution of the door prizes was followed by a secret gift swap and lunch break. Afterwards, an informal Q&A-format customizing workshop answered questions for many fans new to the hobby, followed by a display of fully customized and modified dolls entered in the customization contest. Winners of an online photo/art contest which was held and judged before the event were announced along with the customization contest winners. The photo and art entries can be seen at www.puddlestyle.com/photoart.html.
Many fans continued the fun over dinner in the hotel restaurant and in the hotel lobby until the wee hours. Krista Farmer, who traveled from Toronto for the event, said "It was a crazy cool day." Although the event officially ended Saturday night, 11 fans stayed for a behind-the-scenes tour of the Willowbrook Wildlife Center Sunday. — Jane Easterly
For information on PUDDLE 2012, visit www.puddlestyle.com.read moreAttendees at the third annual R. John Wright Convention enjoyed the festivities of several major holidays coupled with outstanding dolls, all rolled into four fun-filled days! R. John and Susan Wright chose "Celebrations!" as the theme for their 2011 event held at the historic Desmond Hotel in Albany, N.Y., which was co-chaired by Loretta Nardone and Lillian Wright.
The convention opened with St. Patrick's Day reception Wednesday evening, where everyone laid claim to being a wee bit Irish while enjoying a scrumptious dessert buffet. The sales room opened immediately after this kick-off event, with conventioneers hoping the "luck of the Irish" would help them find that perfect doll or dolls.
Thursday began early with the Easter Morning Breakfast; those attending this ticketed event didn't have to search for large, beautifully decorated baskets serving as table centerpieces. They were filled with molded felt eggs in pastel colors. At the end of the breakfast, the eggs were distributed and the happy new owners opened them to find "Peep," a 3-inch yellow mohair chick as their event souvenir. His companion, "Posey," was available for sale. After breakfast the special and competitive exhibits opened, along with the helper room. This year's special exhibit, arranged by John and Susan Wright's daughter Emily, was titled "Happy Holidays" and showcased R. John Wright dolls and animal characters and the traditional holidays that inspired them.
That afternoon, attendees boarded buses for the short trip to Bennington, Vt., for a tour of the R. John Wright facility along with other local activities. The Wrights explained the development of their creations from concept through completion before everyone had the opportunity to visit with their employees as they made various doll parts and accessories and shopped in the R. John Wright store. The day culminated with a Fourth of July BBQ followed by fireworks at dusk.
Workshops by dollmaker Gail Wilson and a program by Alan Pate, a leading American expert on Japanese dolls, were offered on Friday, along with several roundtable discussions on various topics. Attendees dressed up for the frightfully fabulous costume parade leading into the Halloween Masquerade luncheon, with prizes awarded in five categories. After lunch, the newest piece from R. John Wright's Wizard of Oz collection, "Wicked Witch of the West," made her debut in front of an enthusiastic audience.
The ticketed Victorian Yuletide Dinner featured traditional table decorations and an enchanting program, "A Victorian Christmas," presented by Nardone. The event souvenir was the 10-inch "Mary Frances," the latest addition to the Victorian Children Collection. Available for purchase was her 7-inch little sister, "Baby Grace."
Saturday morning's activities included another program by Pate and a workshop conducted by Emily Wright. That afternoon, a Valentine's Day High Tea charmed conventioneers with fine teas and delicacies. The newest addition to the Flower Fairies series, "Rose Fairy," was available for purchase. The evening's closing event was a New Year's Eve Gala Celebration. This elegant banquet featured another entertaining program produced and presented by Nardone. When the souvenir dolls were distributed, delighted attendees found the adorable 12½-inch "Celebration Scootles" would be going home with them. As an added bonus, her delightful twin brother was available for purchase.
As the convention ended, attendees were already making plans for next year's "Around the World" event, which will be held at the same location June 20-23, 2012 and will celebrate the magic of children around the globe. There will also be an added treat as the first bear event held at an R. John Wright convention will be incorporated into the excursion to the Wrights' facility in Vermont.

(KMOV) – The latest round of frigid temps in January could be something familiar for those who remember the snowstorm of 1982 in St. Louis.
That big storm hit on Saturday, January 30, 1982 and lasted through the weekend dumping as much as two feet of snow in some places. The National Weather Service says it was on 1-in-70 year snow event, and the worst winter storm to hit St. Louis since 1912 that delivered 15.5 inches of snow.
According to the NWS the "thunder snow" lasted about five hours, and in some spots snow fell at rates of two inches per hour. In some areas snow drifts reached six feet tall.

According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, one subdivision, Bee Tree Estates in South St. Louis County, was cut off from civilization for five days.
Thousands of motorists were stranded on area highways. Owners of four wheel drives were called in to help ferry doctors, nurses and emergency crews to and from work.
The NWS says the 1982 storm was a surprise for everyone, with forecasts from the NWS and local meteorologists calling for light snow with minor accumulations.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Repairs to fire ravaged USS Miami now uncertain: Mandatory budget cuts put restoration on hold
Tuesday, March 19, 2013
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The Navy's commitment to repairing a nuclear submarine severely damaged by an arsonist last spring is wavering under the realities of mandatory budget cuts, officials say.
Workers plan to rally Wednesday against the mandatory budget cuts.
"The business case for restoring this submarine was never all that strong. It's not the latest submarine design and it's turning out to be an expensive proposition," Thompson said Monday.
As it stands, the mandatory cuts will put projects at the shipyard a month behind schedule because of the furloughs through Sept. 30, said Metal Trades Council President Paul O'Connor. |

Pardon my lack of creativity while I jump on the "End-of-the-Year-Collage" bandwagon. But it is kind of fun to look back and see what was accomplished. Kind of makes you feel productive, doesn't it? At the beginning of last year I really wanted to try to new things and create more quilts that I wanted to make, rather than I felt like I had to make. I think I did it. It makes me happy to have accomplished that. And it makes me happy to look at them again.
So here's to more of that in 2011! Many thanks to all of you for your encouragement and kind comments and support over the last year. You make the time spent blogging (and away from my sewing machine) worth it. I sincerely thank you. Again.
I hope you are all looking forward to a new year. Because in the words of my 9-year-old, "2010 is SO 2010."

First of all, thank you so much for visiting this corney blog about quilting. Thank you for the kind comments and encouragement that you leave. I will be honest - some days blogging stresses me out. I worry about getting my pictures to look the way I want them to in my mind, I often kick myself for writing blog posts late at night when my brain has already shut off for the day and then worry that what I wrote sounded whiney or incoherent, and I'm often plagued by that nasty, un-healthy 'comparison/inadequacy' menace to all bloggers. Throw in the guilt I often feel about not always having the time I'd like to respond to every comment or meet everyone's requests (I'm a chronic "pleaser" so this can get rough), not to mention the guilt and worrying whether my time at the computer is the best use of my time. :)
BUT I'm so grateful for the nice feedback you give me regarding my hobby, for supporting my little etsy shop, and for the fun opportunities that have come since starting this blog. By far my favorite part of this adventure has been the great people I've met (some times in real life and sometimes in cyberspace) since jumping into the blogosphere. That is by far the funnest part - you awesome people!
So to thank you, I have a few giveaways with no-strings attached. Thanks to the generosity of Amanda Murphy and Robert Kaufman fabrics I have 2 Ten-Square (42 10" squares) collections and 2 Roll-ups (42 2.5" strips) of Amanda's newest collection, Veranda to share. I'll be giving away one set of both and one of each. (see top photo.)
And I wanted to give away something totally "Diary of a Quilter." So I've got a little bundle put together of an I-spy charm-pack, some American Jane pennant triangles and a few goodies I collected at Market last spring. This means we'll have 4 winners! First winner gets first pick of the prizes, and so on.
Thanks again for being my "peeps" in blogland! Mwah!
GIVEAWAY CLOSED. Winners are: Amy, luckymom, WandaFish, and Funky Kim. Congratulations ladies! I'll be contacting you!

Still on the fence about this run of shows since the last time I saw them was in like 94 or something and I thought they were old back then (and I was raging on all kinds of stuff that I no longer have access). Regardless, I am thinking of taking my ass down Friday night for some orchestra box Hey Nineteen, Bad Friday, Kid Charlemagne, Aja, Babylon Sisters, FM etc........bump-ba-bump-ba-bump-bump-bump...... If you are going let me know maybe we can meet for some pre-pack duties.

Guttate psoriasis is a skin condition in which small, red, and scaly teardrop-shaped spots appear on the arms, legs, and middle of the body. Guttate means "drop" in Latin.
Guttate psoriasis is a type of psoriasis . It is usually seen in patients younger than 30. The condition often develops suddenly, usually after an infection, most notably strep throat. Guttate psoriasis is not contagious. This means it cannot spread to other people.
Psoriasis seems to be passed down through families. Doctors think it probably occurs when the body's immune system mistakes healthy cells for harmful substances.
In addition to strep throat, the following may trigger an attack of guttate psoriasis:
Psoriasis may be severe in persons who have a weakened immune system. This may include persons who have:
Symptoms include:
Your doctor will look at your skin. Diagnosis is usually based on what the spots look like.
Often, a person with this type of psoriasis has recently had a sore throat or upper respiratory infection.
Tests to confirm the diagnosis may include:
Goal of treatment is to control your symptoms and prevent secondary infections .
If you have a current or recent infection, your doctor may give you antibiotics.
Mild cases of guttate psoriasis are usually treated at home. Your doctor may recommend any of the following:
Persons with very severe guttate psoriasis may receive medicines to suppress the body's immune response. These medicines include cyclosporine and methotrexate.
Your doctor may suggest phototherapy. This is a medical procedure in which your skin is carefully exposed to ultraviolet light. Phototherapy may be given alone or after you take a medicine that makes the skin sensitive to light.
Guttate psoriasis may clear completely following treatment. Sometimes, however, it may become a chronic (lifelong) condition, or worsen to the more common plaque-type psoriasis.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of guttate psoriasis.

Cooking With Myra: Can love last a lifetime?
By By Myra Starkey
Jan. 15, 2013 at midnight
Updated Jan. 14, 2013 at 7:15 p.m.
Seared Scallops with Roasted Corn and Poblano Chili Relish
Adapted from "Mindful Eating" by Miraval Spa.
• 2 Tbsp. minced poblano peppers
• 2 tsp. canola oil
• 1/4 cup fresh corn kernels
• 2 Tbsp. red onion, minced
• 1/2 cup jicama, finely chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp. red bell peppers, chopped
• 2 Tbsp. cilantro, finely chopped
• 4 large scallops, 2 ounces each, wiped dry
• Pinch kosher salt
• Pinch black pepper
• 2 tsp. prickly pear syrup
Heat small skillet over medium high heat. Add the poblano peppers and cook, stirring, until they start to make a popping noise and jump across the pan for two minutes. Add 1 tsp. oil and the corn; stir and cook until corn starts to wilt, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Add the red onion and garlic and cook for 45 seconds, stirring occasionally. Add the jicama and bell peppers and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add cilantro, stir well and remove from heat.
Season scallops on both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat a clean, medium skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and swirl to coat bottom of pan. Add scallops and cook until well seared, 2 minutes. Turn the scallops and cook until seared on other side.
Transfer the scallops to four medium plates. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of corn relish on top of each and 2 Tbsp. of relish around the sides. Drizzle 1/2 tsp. of prickly pear syrup and serve immediately.
This is an appetizer portion and contains about 80 calories.
Last weekend, Taylor and I spent time with one of my college friends. I didn't just hang out with her while we were at Baylor as students 30 years ago. About five years after that, we had both progressed further through the usual life stages, getting married and having kids, and Taylor and I had moved back to Waco while he was doing his residency in family medicine.
She and her husband had settled there and became our best buddies. We muddled through our early careers and learned all the stuff about infants and toddlers that you can only know by actually having them in your constant possession. Those were simpler and joyous times. After a couple of years, we left for Victoria.
Our paths crossed again about 15 years later when both of our oldest sons were freshmen roommates at Baylor. Our friendship was renewed, and we had a passion to be around them - only things had changed. Their marriage was struggling. He had new friends. They had been regular church members but now didn't seem to have the time.
They had disagreements about this and that, and we had to listen closely to figure out exactly what their differences were because when grace and trust exist in a relationship, most things aren't such a big deal. We all do and say things we wish we didn't, but we forgive and move on. Only they didn't and couldn't, and she moved to Austin alone. After a few years, the divorce was final. She and I talked a lot last weekend about her new single life. We laughed like college girls at the thrill and angst of dating again and then sighed over how many changes have occurred in our lives.
Some of our friends have divorced over the years and others have lost spouses in death, but the question that has haunted me recently is whether or not love can last a lifetime. Is that only a silly, romantic notion? Can something so intense and real just fade away? I have discussed this question with Taylor recently, and one might imagine how much he loves talking about the subject.
I assume he would prefer to be woodworking or watching a football game. Instead I find myself sitting quietly, staring into his eyes and asking the question, will he love me forever? I am trying to elicit a promise, an eternal pledge to love me forever but usually he just answers that we won't live forever on Earth. His answer is not what I am after, so he usually succumbs and vows "yes, that as long as we both shall live," and he gives me no reason to doubt him. I am struggling with this forever love.
I grew up watching my parents in their marriage. I am fortunate in that I had good role models. I saw my father give in to my mother's requests (sometimes unreasonable), and other times noticed that my mother gave my father total devotion and trust in decisions he chose to make, knowing she would have preferred a different outcome. I heard them argue fairly about decisions and finally come to mutual agreements. Their marriage may not have been perfect, but they chose to stay married.
Recently, my mother died, leaving a huge void in my father's life. Having a wife for 53 years by your side makes a hole that cannot be quickly filled. My sadness over Mom's death lingers, and I can only imagine what my father feels. I know he is tired of being sad, and he will move on.
Last weekend, we drove to Lake Charles, La., to throw him an 80th birthday party. He invited about 30 friends to share in this momentous occasion. My sisters and I made Mexican food since most of the folks there had probably had their fill of Cajun food and were ready for a change. I listened to the chatter and laughter in the room. If I totaled the complete years of all in attendance, I imagine we had about 2,000 years of wisdom, all grateful for fajitas and being alive.
They all brought cards, and it took him about an hour to read through the pile. Dad enjoyed every moment of his day. He smiled and laughed and thanked us for being there for him. He told us that he missed Mom and wished she could have been there to celebrate with us. It has been five months since she died, and it seemed odd to me that there were 30 people in that room for this event, but I could not find her in the crowd.
Dad has started seeing a "lady friend." She is almost his age. He has known her for awhile because they go to church together. Her husband died a few years ago. The crowd all squeezed together for a group picture at his birthday party, and she was standing very near to him, and he had his arm around her waist. She seems to be a very nice lady, but she is not my mother. And again I wondered, "does love last forever?"
Love and life are lived fully - one day at a time.
In my quest to live long and be healthy, I am cooking from a fabulous new cookbook, "Mindful Eating" by Miraval. I added garlic, but the recipe is delicious and light. Enjoy.

quote:At no point was any mention made of Galette playing as a 43 olb. You're confusing them praising his short area burst with speed. You really don't comprehend very well.

quote:Do James Harrison and Aldon Smith lack the speed to play 3-4 OLB?
quote:You first. Tell me exactly what this has to do with what I'm talking about with that other guy. I'm not arguing with him about Galette's speed.
quote:You can't misread an entire article (in this case draft report)
quote:OVERVIEW Galette was a productive four-year starter at linebacker and defensive end in college. He transferred from Temple in 2009 to join the Stillman team, and there have been concerns about his character which likely will hinder his overall draft status. Galette is a versatile athlete who could play stand-up outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme or contribute as a sub-package pass rusher in an even front. Galette is a very good athlete who plays with natural instincts and reactions. He doesn't have great hips or lateral burst, which will cause him to be a liability in man coverage, but he could develop into an adequate zone defender. He lacks strength at the point defending the run or collapsing the pocket as a pass rusher and can get overpowered by offensive tackles. He is an explosive edge rusher who has value on special teams and nickel packages but concerns about past injuries and off-field issues will need to be investigated. STRENGTHS Galette possesses the explosive burst off the edge you look for in a 3-4 outside linebacker or situational rush end in a 4-3. He exhibits impressive instincts and was highly-productive during his time in college. Is a high-motor, high-effort guy who plays through the whistle. He has the athleticism to make plays in the backfield. WEAKNESSES He is a true 'tweener prospect due to lack of adequate size to be a defensive end or speed at the outside linebacker spot. May not have the strength to effectively defend the run when teams run at him or hold up at the point of attack. Will struggle in man coverage. Has an injury history and character concerns that will cause him to drop.
quote:You misread an article and are apparently arguing about nothing.
quote:Re-read the article with the other dimwit. It's posted in full above.
quote:Galette possesses the explosive burst off the edge you look for in a 3-4 outside linebacker or situational rush end in a 4-3.
quote:what does bolding outside linebacker disprove?

quote:who said anything about overpaying him? there is now a 4 going on 5 page thread because he said he was lowballed. 1. there's no clear indication that he was even referring to contract negotiations with the Saints (and he stated later that it wasn't the case), 2. even if it was, that does not mean he is asking for more than his market value, 3. this is all part of a negotiating process, and 4. now fans here are acting as if the guy is no good based off of one tweet saying he was lowballed.

There are many major changes required to design, verify, and manufacture semiconductors at the 20nm process node (N20). One of these is fill. At previous design nodes, fill was used just to ensure manufacturability by giving each layer (metal, poly, diffusion) an accepted density. At N20, fill is used to address many more manufacturing issues, and has become highly complex. Read More … Read More

Hire a Veteran!
Hello to my friends, colleaques, Twitter followers and blog readers,
That picture to the left in this post is of me when I was a very young USAF service member (laughing at the hair, glasses or fashionable business suit is allowed-Gads).
There are more than 26 million veterans in the US. And, I am one of about 6 million women who served our country proudly. I served in the USAF in a technical capacitiy after the Vietnam war had just ended (more stats here). As you can see in the photo, I was the only female in my USAF training class, and I had to wear men's cotten fatigues, shirts (and boots) which had to be starched each and every single day. BTW, check out the shine on those boots! After I graduated from tech school in Texas, I was shipped to England for a few years where I was one female out of about 90 men working at small communications switching site in England. A great deal has changed since those early days during my own personal experience as a military service member, and for the better for women I believe.
But, I do believe the women of our time who served learned early to work hard with the hope of contributing and making it in a tough environment. Below are some statistics about our veterans.
- Dept of VA stats on veterans http://www.va.gov/vetdata/Quick_Facts.asp
- Stats on our women vets,http://feminism.eserver.org/workplace/women-in-the-military.txt
- Stats about Vietnam http://www.veteranshour.com/vietnam_war_statistics.htm
Over the course of my life, I have continued to expand and hone my career relative to communications in some form or another as the times have changed, And, I have adapted with the changing times. Since signing up on Wordress.com, I've been providing a plethora of ad hock user generated content about social media and communication related topics for a couple of years now, because I really want to help people.
Today, I'd like to briefly introduce myself, as an emerging woman veteran-owned small business in the DC/Baltimore metro areas. With the economic downturn today, this recession is also a very tough environment, and doubly tough for an "mature" veteran trying to kick start her own business during a recession. And, some might think me a bit nuts for trying to do so.
Yep, I am taking the plunge. I filed for certification in MD as a MBE (OMG, their are coming to inspect my little office in 30 days!) I've registered in CCR.gov and with the VA. I am up an running with a small office space ready for business. Exhaling.
Know anyone who needs communication help? Please forward my resume http://bit.ly/yR6Nas or website www.unlimitedpr.net
Is it too idyllic to have a dream where we can contrubute to making a difference in other people's lives by helping other people, Veterans, businesses and agencies? I believe. And yes, I still believe that hard work and a hope in something better is what has always driven our economy, in a positive way (not scathing political rhetoric). I think you will find a similar integrity and sound work ethic in my commrads who have served, as well.
I'd appreciate it if you'd consideration hiring any Veteran, as well as other small Veteran-owned businesses. We really do know how to get the job done.
I am willing to provide consulting, 1099 and sub-contract support. Heck, at this stage I will simply take a few good hours of solid work to help your own small business persoanally. With a few hours of my time, I can be invaluable in helping with your outreach needs.
Here is my small business capabilities fact sheet: http://bit.ly/sqGrjB, and if you would like co-collaborate with a business opportunity, I'd appreciate hearing from you by requesting assistance here> http://bit.ly/oqcoE9
Thanks for reading and your time spent honoring and hiring our veterans or other small veteran-owned firms across this country of ours will not go unrewarded.

Winter farm markets redefining healthy local food options
Monday, November 12, 2012
ROLLINSFORD -- When people hear about a Winter Farmers' Market here on the Seacoast, the first thing they ask is what could there possibly be to buy, other than potatoes? Well, they'll be in for a big surprise when they walk into light-filled Wentworth Greenhouses on Saturday, November 17, from 10am-2pm, for the first winter market of the season. |

Description of Research
The central vacuolar system of eukaryotic cells is compartmentalized into distinct membrane-bound organelles and vesicular structures, each with its own characteristic function and set of protein constituents. Work in my laboratory is focused on understanding how integral membrane protein complexes are assembled and sorted to the appropriate compartments within the late secretory and endocytic pathways, and how sorting and assembly contribute to the biogenesis of specific organelles in several cell types and to immune regulation.
Our primary focus over the past 10 years has been on melanosomes of pigmented cells. Melanosomes are unique lysosome-related organelles present only in cells that make melanin, the major synthesized pigment in mammals. Melanosomes are among a number of tissue-specific lysosome-related organelles that are malformed and dysfunctional in a group of rare heritable disorders, including Hermansky-Pudlak and Chediak-Higashi syndromes, and pigment cell-specific proteins that localize to melanosomes are targets for the immune system in patients with melanoma. In an effort to understand the molecular basis of these diseases, we are dissecting the molecular mechanisms that regulate how different stage melanosomes are formed and integrated with the endosomal pathway. We use biochemical, morphological, and genetic approaches to follow the fates of melanosome-specific and ubiquitous endosomal and lysosomal proteins within pigment cells from normal individuals or mice and disease models. Using these approaches, we are (1) outlining protein transport pathways that lead to the formation of these unusual organelles, (2) dissecting biochemical pathways that lead to their morphogenesis, and (3) defining how these processes are subverted by genetic disease. Current efforts focus on how factors that are deficient in patients and mouse models of the genetic diseease, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, impact melanosome biogenesis. These factors interact with classical components of the membrane trafficking machinery such as SNAREs and coats, and we are dissecting how these interactions result in the delivery of cargoes to unique organelle structures in these cells. We are particularly interested in the formation of tubular connections between endosomes and maturing melanosomes, as several factors that are disrupted in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome impact the formation and/or dynamics of these transport carriers.
Because genetic diseases like Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome affect multiple organ systems, we have initiated two new projects to dissect how similar sorting processes involved in melanosome biogenesis influence other organelles in different cell types. The first involves lysosome-related organelles in platelets called dense granules and alpha granules. Dense granules are organelles within platelets that store small molecules such as adenine nucleotides, polyphosphate, serotonin and calcium that are released upon platelet activation and are required for optimal blood clotting. Like melanosomes, dense granules are malformed in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, and we are studying how dense granule contents are delivered within platelets and their precursors (megakaryocytes). In collaboration with Mitch Weiss and Morty Poncz at CHOP, we are studying how cargoes of dense granules are delivered to those organelles in megakaryocytes, and how these processes are altered in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome and other bleeding disorders. Alpha granules are other lysosome-related organelles in platelets that store secretory protein contents. In collaboration with Morty Poncz and Gerd Blobel, we are studying how alpha granule secretion is altered in a mouse model of a human bleeding disorder.
The second cellular system is the dendritic cell, a master regulator of T cell immune function. Dendritic cells have been proposed to harbor a lysosome-related organelle involved in preventing maturation of phagosomes to facilitate the processing of phagocytosed antigens to stimulate CD8+ (prdominantly cytotoxic) T cells. Paradoxically, we have found that dendritic cells from one Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome model are impaired in their ability to process phagocytosed antigen for presentation to a different class of T cells, the CD4+ (predominantly T helper) T cells. Preliminary studies suggest that the antigen processing defect results from a primary defect in toll-like receptor signalling from phagosomes, and current projects are devoted to better understanding this defect at the molecular level.
Melanosome precursors harbor intralumenal fibrils upon which melanins deposit in later stages. The main component of these fibrils is a pigment cell-specific protein, Pmel17. Fibrils formed by Pmel17 in vitro display features common with amyloid formed in disease states such as Alzheimer's disease and the prion diseases. We hope that by dissecting how Pmel17 forms amyloid like fibrils under physiological conditions, we may not only understand melanosome biogenesis but also the formation of amyloid under pathological conditions.
Rotation Projects for 2013-2014
1. Define metal import defects in melanocytes from mouse models of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome types 7-9.
2. Assess role of Sec1/Munc18 family members in regulating melanosome biogenesis.
3. Dissect functional interactions between BLOC-1 or BLOC-2 and SNARE proteins during organelle biogenesis.
4. Define targeting signals for incorporation of transmembrane cargo proteins in megakaryocyte dense granules or lung epithelial cell lamellar bodies.
5. Assess phosphoinositide distribution during phagosome maturation in dendritic cells.
6. Test for anterograde and retrograde trafficking defects in dendritic cells and macrophages from Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome model mice.

Computers provide path for humanity to others
Most of us use a computer these days and, like everything technical, they evolve. They also tend to get slower over time. Eventually, it's time to upgrade.
