Waffle toast? Bread covered with a peanut butter batter is baked in a waffle iron, creating a cross between French toast and waffles.
The peanutty batter covering the bread is thick so it clings to the bread. If it seems a little too thick, add a small amount of milk. When you coat the bread, use your fingers to turn the slices (messy) or try using a spatula (less messy). Either way, the toast turns out delicious!
How many slices of waffle toast you'll actually make will depend on the type of bread you use.

text: blog postsAssociate Dean Lanesskog checks in from BrazilMar 24, 2011 8:15 am by Stig LanesskogShare on FacebookTweetEmailI am with a group of 29 MBAs in Brazil over our one week spring break. The students are a combination of first-year, second-year full-time students in addition to several from our professional MBA program at Illinois. Study abroad trips are a critical part of every students experience at Illinois. Ours has included cultural, academic and corporate visit activities. We arrived on Saturday in the beautiful city of Rio. We enjoyed some time on Ipanema beach and ate at one of the famous Brazilian steakhouses. The following day we visited famous sites in Rio, Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer. We even saw President Obamas motorcade as we were struck in traffic on Copacabana beach.We left Rio and drove by bus towards Sao Paulo, stopping at Embraer, the worlds third largest aircraft manufacturer. We were provided a company presentation and plant tour. The students started their classroom experience on Tuesday. We have partnered with the University of Sao Paulo, the top university in Brazil. The students are learning from top University of Sao Paulo business professors about the Brazilian economy, business practices and the implications of the this growing economy on the global marketplace.We have also visited the Brazilian Stock Exchange, IPE- one of the largest environmental NGOs in Brazil, and Itau- Latin Americas largest private bank. Each visit provides a different lens on the Brazilian market.Connecting with prospective students and alumni is also an important part of these trips. We met five very successful alumni, together with one of our incoming students for the class of 2013 in Sao Paulo.All incoming student will have an international experience, included in the tuition in fees. In addition to the cultural activities and company visits, each student will also work on a project for a client - similar to an IBC project- in one of our target countries, India, China or Brazil. We believe these experiences not only will prepare students for their careers in the global marketplace, but will also differentiate them from their peers at other schools.stats628 Views 0 Comments additional actions Add Comment

Ok so I'm trying to load all my digi supplies on my new ehd. I have old stuff backed up on cds that aren't very organized. I have my purchases that Angie helped me redownload. Plus I have a ton of new stuff. My question is how to decide if you should keep something. Today I'm sorting all my papers, which I seem to have a ton of. I don't think I use or will use half of them. But in the back of my mind I think what if. I know they don't take up a lot of space but I think it would help in searching for just the right one. I know organizing is a personal thing and people have different ways of doing it. I was just wondering about what to keep and what not.
Thanks for the input.

Good luck! I have a really hard time getting rid of stuff. I'll share a funny story. I got rid of a kit (took it off my hard drive). Then I turned around and bought it again because it wasn't where I check when I looked to make sure I don't have something before I buy it!
Posted 02 August 2013 - 11:14 AM
I know what you mean, I have tons of older stuff and freebies that I am certain will never get used, especially some non-Scrap Girls supplies, but just can't seem to get rid of!!! I have 2 ehds and most of my zipped folders, so I may move some things to my second ehd, or just delete them since I will still have the zipped files in case I ever go looking for them. You are right, it would make searching so much easier!
Posted 02 August 2013 - 06:09 PM
I never delete anything. I have been saving freebies for years and I'm sure I'll never use some of them, but I would never say never. Good luck! When I have a free weekend I am going to organize all my stuff. Hopefully.
Posted 02 August 2013 - 07:08 PM
As soon as I get rid of something in real life, that's when I'll need it. I bet the same thing would apply to my digiscrapping stuff! Good Luck!
Posted 03 August 2013 - 04:48 AM
I have every single zipped file saved on my EHD. If you feel you want to delete something, you will always still have it somewhere.
Posted 03 August 2013 - 07:53 AM
I took all the non ScrapGirls things off a long time ago, knowing that I would never use them, but I don't think I could part with anything ScrapGirls, even if I never use it again. That's just me.

So lets talk about my second meetup with the West Coast Photo Group. The event attended was the Madeira Beach Open Benefit Car Show. This is basically a fundraiser for Metropolitan Ministries to help needy families during the holidays. Car Show participants were encouraged to bring canned goods so I swept the cabinet above the sink for candidates!
I met with Donald Wood, he was the event organizer, at the entrance. He was already shooting and I could tell by looking over his portfolio on the meetup site he has the same passion for shooting automobiles that I do.
We went over our gear and settings, he has one of those fancy vest to help him carry around spare lenses and stuff where as I just pick my lens choice of the day and leave my bag in the truck for the most part.
So we started down the first line of cars and I noticed some classics that I had not seen before as well as some of the car show regulars, (once you attend more than 4 car shows in this area you start to notice some of the same cars).
We discussed our shooting options and I reference to Donald about an instructional video by world famous HDR photographer Trey Ratcliff where he recommends to shoot f/8 if you are unsure of yourself and are shooting aperture priority. Since I was shooting aperture priority today due to the fact I was bracketing shots with 0.7 ev steps (3 jpeg, 3 RAW) and did not want my focal plane to shift while the camera makes changes for the exposure. If you shoot in camera bracketed exposures the camera can either change shutter speed or aperture. In shutter priority the f-stop changes and you will have problems with the focal plane shifting. So the general consensus is to shoot Aperture priority. The video below is from Trey Ratcliff and is where I picked up this tip, some day I hope to actually buy his complete video course and really expand my knowledge!
Anyway a little bit later we were joined by two more meetup group members and chatted a bit more about our camera settings and software. This is the reason I felt the need to get a bit more social this year with my photography. Just a few minutes of conversation with fellow photography enthusiasts can lead to some great ideas for shooting or get you out the same old routine. So I soaked up as much information as I could before we went back to taking more pictures.
The shooting day ended around 12:30 pm for me as I had promised Deb a good Sunday lunch somewhere. So I spent about 2 hrs doing what I love to do – shoot cars!!

Story: 7 Every high school has at least one female Goth student, but apparently these girls are not born with the Goth mindset. In fact, Yamato offers a great explanation for the appearance of a Goth persona: all it takes is for a guy to tell a nice girl (who probably happens to like him) that she is ugly, and oh by the way, he wants nothing to do with her. This negative response from the guy will consequently send the girl into a downward spiral of introversion, obsession with mannequins, skulls, horror films, and all things dark. The above events underscore Sunako's transformation from... See full review
Story: 9.5 I think I started to watch The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya about three or four times, got into the first five minutes of the first episode, and thought to myself how the premise seemed really lame and was generally poorly presented; I also wondered why my brother was so ecstatic when he told me to watch The Melancholy of Haruhi. When I finally forced myself to watch through the end of the first episode, I realized I was going to be in for a humorous and off-the-wall experience to say the least. (In hindsight, if you pay close attention to the opening of the first episode, it is amazingly... See full review
Story: 9 Mushi, as pointed out by the main character Ginko, have a distinct dynamic with humans: "there are those who fear them and those who like them." Also, I should add, there are those who can't see mushi at all – this leads to the question: which is worse, being able to see something that could potentially harm you, or being completely oblivious to what is quite possibly some of the craziest stuff happening in nature? Mushishi's story is entirely episodic in nature, as it follows the travels of Ginko as he moves from place to place to avoid... See full review
Story: 1.5 Honestly, I felt a bit like Towelie as I watched Blame! (man I have no idea what's goin' on.) Seriously though, at first I got worried that the lack of story had something to do with me – maybe I just missed something; I mean, it was kind of late when I watched this series. The truth is, Blame! seems to choose some buzzwords (e.g. megastructure,) and string them together, so that we can all pretend that a plot exists. Unlike other cyberpunk anime which sometimes leave gaps early on and fill them in periodically throughout the series, Blame! leaves its gaps wide open... See full review
Story: 8.5 The year is 2030 AD, and the available technology is enough to make me think that it is pretty likely that a non-oil alternate energy source must have been discovered prior to 2030, although that is pure speculation. Watching SAC made me realize that I should not bother with lasik eye surgery, and just find myself a pair of those sweet prosthetic eyes (Yes! I can finally return to 20/20 vision, with a guidance system and some other features to boot.) The futuristic setting surrounds an elite group of law enforcement agents known as Section 9, headed by Motoko (a.k.a. The Major)... See full review

Congratulations to Connor Roach (93B Gold), for recently being named a 2011 NSCAA Boys High School Scholar All-American.
Congratulations to Dan Jackson (U16 Gold) and Blake Vickers (U18 Silver) for making the Region III ODP Pool last month in Alabama. They will now vie for spots on the Region III team at various events over the upcoming year. Congrats and good luck!
Triangle United has 5 players who were selected and participated in the 2008 US Club id2 Camp in Zarephath, NJ from Oct. 2nd - Oct. 5th.
Post-camp update: 2 of the players were selected for the "pool" game on the final day of camp.
91 Boys Gold finish 2-0-1 in Little Rock, July 23-27, 2008. Despite going undefeated and taking the eventual national champ Dallas Texans to the limit in a 2-2 tie, 91 Gold fell just short of the national final.
A group of Triangle United players took advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime soccer opportunity and traveled to Spain this summer for eight days of top level training, competition and sightseeing. The trip began with a four day stay at the City of Futbol, the training center and home of the Spanish national team. The players arrived at the facility just after the Spanish nation team left for their historic run to the Euro 2008 championship.
Following an undefeated season in the Premier division, the 91 boys Gold team coached by UNC's Elmar Bolowich went on to win the NCYSA state cup.
Triangle United Director of Coaching Cindy Parlow recently spent a week in various parts of El Salvador participating in soccer clinics and outreach activities on the behalf of US Soccer and Sports Envoys.

College Quotes and Sayings
Don't do drugs kids. There's a time and place for everything. It's called college.
Every year, many, many stupid people graduate from college. And if they can do it, so can you.
– John Green
Hug a stressed college student. It helps a lot. :)
School for 12 years, college for 4 more years, then you work until you die. Cool.
The simplest college boy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have given his life.
One funny thing about college life is that; teachers make you sleep during day and friends don't let you to sleep at night. . . . .:- );- )
A college education shows a man how little other people know.
Education is not preparation for life, education is life itself.
Things taught in college are not education but the means of education.
You spend thousands of dollars and the best years of your life going to college so you can be considered good enough for a job you hate for a boss who doesn't care about you, so you can be paid money which doesn't exist in order to buy stuff you don't need to impress people you don't even like.
Colleges don't make fools, they only develop them.
You can make life dance to your tunes inside your college gates (i.e.during your college life) but at the other side of the gate, life sets its own tunes & makes you dance. So live each moment of your college life.
College comes and goes like a wind what is left behind is a bunch of memories which you cherish for the rest of your lives – showing it to your relatives, friends, everyone – "These Were My Golden Days. I Was The King Of My Life. Everybody Used To Call Me 'The Ultimate Rockstar' .Don't Miss It And Don't Ruin It either…Live It All !!!!"
College is the place where you live your life to the fullest.
The freshman girl, oh so shy, sits and watches the sophomore guy. The sophomore guy, his head in a whirl, sits and watches the junior girl. The junior girl, in her red sedan, sits and watches the senior man. The senior man, all hot and wild, secretly loves the freshman girl.
College is the best place to enjoy life happily..nothing else can beat that..enjoy it friends.
Education is the best money making ritual!
College life is that part of your life that you are going to relive in your memories till you breathe.
Experience the college life and enjoy.
You are the pawns in the first year…you are ministers in the second year…You become the king of campus in the final year.
College is like a fountain of knowledge – and the students are there to drink.
Everyone can pass college, most just don't feel like it.

Three exceptionally charismatic young acts opened for bands from Philadelphia on Congress Street Monday night. I managed to catch most of all of their sets.
Belfast's Class Machine are Nathan Raleigh and Cody Tibbetts, a devil-may-care duo who played at SPACE. Tall and well on his way to a Ronald McDonald 'fro, Raleigh plays a pedal-warped bass while Tibbetts pumps out aggressive, hi-hat-heavy beats on his Spartan drum kit while resting a guitar on his lap. The short, often pulverizing rock music they make necessarily recalls the early brio of the White Stripes, though it occasionally bumbles into funk/reggae territory. Raleigh, singing for a dozen people early on, howled like he was playing for a thousand times as many, and his effortlessly charming vocals ("rhythm is a nasty habit," he bellowed to open the set) are difficult to resist.
Over at Port City Music Hall, Lady Lamb the Beekeeper seized one of her biggest shows to date (opening for Dr. Dog) to by and large own a large Monday crowd. Aly Spaltro took her time between songs, rotating between four or five instruments, but hers is a voice that can hush an antsy crowd quickly. It's difficult to imagine tiring of her fractured, multi-movement love songs when every time she sings them it's as though she's pouring — or ripping — her heart out for the first time.
Back at SPACE, the final four songs of Dead Man's Clothes yet revealed a vibrant, youthful voice in the local indie-rock scene. With gorgeous textures (courtesy of bassist Ian Riley and guitarists TJ Metcalfe and Don Dumont) informed by instrumental post-rock and a brilliantly restless and on-point drummer (Eliot Heeschen), not to mention some urgent and stirring vocal harmonies, the band proved themselves a complete package in under 20 minutes. Afterward, Philadelphia's Drink Up Buttercup mastered the art of the practiced-yet-freewheeling melody, as backbeats crashed down with the might of sledgehammers.

Thought it was about time I posted a diary entry with some of the newer stuff I've been hacking on in the last few months.
DidiWiki is a tiny (25k) self contained simple wiki engine. It has its own webserver and is written in c. Its pretty useful it you want something for keeping notes etc thats sharable between machines and is very simple to setup ( just compile and run, theres no deps other than a libc ).
Yesterday I committed some new kdrive stuff into freedesktop. kdrive now does XRECORD which is needed for things like Xnee ( useful for automated testing ). More interestingly I also committed a new kdrive backend - Xephyr. It basically uses a window on a host X server as its framebuffer. kind of like xnest but with support for modern extensions like randr, composite etc. Heres a quite large screenshot of lots of Xephyr's in action.
Matchbox work recently has been mainly small fixes and minor new features as I try and get things super nice for nearing 1.0 release. One new thing I wrote is matchbox-nest which provides a definable graphical ( with working buttons! ) background around Xnest ( or Xephyr ) - its basically a cheap handheld or whatever device 'simulator'. screenshot and Source.
Picked up the pony from the mechanics today - no more annoying gearstick rattle - but will it get me to France this weekend ?

No longer was he getting by on swagger, as he had with D Generation, the New York Dolls–aping act he helmed in the '90s. On The Fine Art of Self Destruction (Artemis), Malin, with help from friend and producer Ryan Adams, emerged as a wised-up punk with a gift for wringing beauty from the tragic. Highlights abounded: the matter-of-factly heartbreaking "Almost Grown"; the exhilarating, rickety Coney Island ride "Wendy"; the slow-burning "Brooklyn," where Adams's gritty-yet-elegant backdrop — a slow build from piano and skeletal acoustic guitar to a whirlwind of drums and feedback behind Malin's snarling vocals — matched that borough's essence to a tee.
Adams's failure to return for the follow-up, The Heat (Artemis, 2004), might have been cause for concern. But Malin, producing himself, delivered a more mature and well-rounded batch of songs than he had on his debut. Yes, there were flaws (the dull raps on opener "Mona Lisa," the genteel choruses on "Since You're in Love"), but The Heat also soared (the alternately moody and uplifting "Silver Manhattan," the candid, big-hearted "Indian Summer").
Recorded in the summer and fall of 2006 in his new home of Los Angeles, Malin's third album — which he'll support with an appearance at T.T. the Bear's this Wednesday — is his first in three years. The advance word for Glitter in the Gutter (Adeline) hyped its small boatload of guest appearances: Adams, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters' Chris Shiflett, Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, Jakob Dylan. This was enough to raise suspicions — any more than two guests screams overcompensation, no? Actual listening reveals that there are some good cuts, but whereas The Heat only flirted with a more accessible sound, Glitter — produced by former Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano with Eddie Wohl — sounds as if it had been through the wash.
Take the roots-rock opener, "Don't Let Them Take You Down (Beautiful Day!)": it tries hard to make a bold impression in the first verse, but the effect is undercut as it careers forward on the back of a slick, inflated chorus during which Malin insists, post-Bono, "It's a beautiful day!" "In the Modern World" is similarly dreadful, with its unrelenting stadium-sized guitars. Things do pick up near the end when the brunt of the band drops out and Malin gets to lead a lively sing-along of the chorus over the drums. It's enough to make you wonder how this album might have fared if he'd given it more gutter and less glitter.
The dreamy, enjoyable "Tomorrow Tonight" revisits a past steeped in movies and punk rock. "Broken Radio," Malin's tribute to his late mother, matches Springsteen's rusty voice with his own Neil Young warble. On the best cut, "Love Streams," the singer seems fed up with his new LA digs and intent on getting back home ("Heading back where I come from/Beyond the valley and the neon sun"). The choruses are oversized, but in this case they feel earned.
Could Glitter have benefitted from the stripped-down treatment Ryan Adams gave The Fine Art of Self Destruction? Certainly "In the Modern World" would have been the better for it. And I'd be curious to hear a rougher take on the feisty "Prisoners of Paradise" — which, despite being produced to the point of exhaustion, still manages to thrill in the choruses. Perhaps Malin should consider holing up with Adams in a dive studio somewhere in NYC for the next record, one that the rest of his talented, big-named friends won't be able to find.

In the communities of Bauline, Flatrock and Pouch Cove, there was a variety of results with one community going for all out change and the other two landing somewhere short of such a dramatic transition.
There was very slight change to the government in Bauline, Carol King being the only new councillor.
Craig LeGrow, Colin LeGrow and Jason King were all re-elected, as was Christopher Dredge who sat as mayor for the four years prior.
It's the unwritten rule in Bauline that the five elected councillors get together following the election and choose the mayor, and the job is usually offered to the councillor who received the most votes. In this case, Dredge again has first option at the job.
"I'm pretty excited here tonight to take that role again for the next four years," he said minutes after learning of the results.
Pouch Cove
The community of Pouch Cove has chosen an entirely new council.
The new mayor, Joedy Wall, was acclaimed as mayor earlier this month. The incoming councillors are Mark Vardy, Robert Brink, Mary Williams, Roger Bill, Kimberly Jordon, Rob Tizzard.
There was only one councillor previously on council who ran during this election — John Sainsbury, who was not re-elected.
The council has had its troubles in the past. In a conversation with The Telegram earlier this month, Wall said there was going to have to be a lot of mending done in the town so people could start respecting council again.
In Flatrock, Darrin Thorne — who had been deputy mayor — had already been acclaimed as mayor. Three people previously on council — Anthony Grace, Marion Martin and Michelle Martin — were re-elected.
Grace was mayor, but didn't re-offer for that position again.
Paul Burton, Terry Humber and Catherine Houlihan are both new faces on council.
This is a corrected version

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|A lot depends on where in each river you end up fishing. For instance, on Zone 1 of the York I was fine with my 14' 9-10 weight. However, when fishing Zone 4 not very far upstream I felt like I had more rod than I needed for the width of the water. The truth is that many pools on each river can probably be very effectively fished with a single-handed rod, but 12 or 13 footers would also do fine. I only saw the St. Jean near the mouth and didn't fish it because we were too early for that river (we fished the first few days of June) but it would seem to be the same deal there. If I do it again next year, I'll have both my 14' and 12' rod ready. I'd say the water I fished varied from between 50'-120' wide with a few spots, like Still Pool on the York in Zone 4 (pool #19) even narrower yet. I think anything between 12-14' rod will do you well. As I proofread this it seems I have a lot of verbiage without saying a whole lot. Let me know if you need more clarification.

Thanks for the info. What is the size of the Dartmouth, York and St Jean? Are they a good size for the smaller two handed rods around 7 or 8 weights?
|I have experience with the ZEC office that serves the St Jean, Dartmouth, and York. I've never bothered with the early drawing. There are always spots available during the 48 hour draw and there's often other water which you can simply sign up for when you contact the ZEC office in advance (like a month or so before you leave). There is also some fine water that is unlimited but is never, in my experience, truly crowded. Give Ann Smith a call at the ZEC office in Gaspe. She's incredibly helpful. You can fly right into the town of Gaspe and rent a car there. I assume that things are similar at other ZEC offices, but I've never dealt with them.

Anybody ever do the Gaspe thing. I am considering it for next summer. I know about the lottery thing on November 1st. Have any tips on how to do it cheap or rivers that are more promising than others. Also looking for information on were I could fly too and rent a car if thats posible?
Anything will help.

1 To support Libertarian Repubs and Dems through the Liberty Pack.
2 To grow the movement on campus
3 To grow the Libertarian Party by attracting disenfranchised traditional Conservatives and liberty loving Dems.
It has to be this way because of the two party monopoly with the press/media including the debates.
Right now, Sen Rand Paul is our biggest voice and if he hadn't run as a Repub, his voice would never be heard!

Rand's bill to cut spending ... makes too much sense (from National Review)Not only is Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.) calling out the Obama administration's "dishonest" doom-mongering on the sequester, he also put forward his own plan, released today, to replace the impending cuts with alternative savings, and to do so "without layoffs," according to a release from the senator's office.Paul's bill would reduce federal spending by more than $85 billion annually by directing the government to:
Stop Hiring New Federal Employees ($6.5 billion per year)
More than 60,000 people left the federal workforce in 2011. This provision would end the practice of hiring new employees to replace them.
Bring Federal-Employee Pay in Line with Private Jobs ($32 billion per year)
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that federal-employee compensation is 16 percent higher compared with the private sector. This provision would reduce federal salaries to a more commensurate level.
Reduce Federal-Employee Travel by 25 Percent ($2.25 billion per year)
The federal government spends about $9 billion on travel, according to the General Services Administration, which ironically was the center of a recent scandal for its exorbitant spending on travel and conference costs. Paul bill's would rein in such expenses.
Focus Military Research on Military Needs ($6 billion per year)
Paul's office cites research from Senator Tom Coburn (R., Okla.), which found that the Defense Department spent $6 billion on research that had little or nothing to do with military needs.
Require Competitive Bidding for Government Contracts ($19 billion per year)
This provision would repeal prevailing-wage requirements under which employees are often paid higher wages to work on federal projects, and end the practice of awarding federal contracts without a competitive bidding process to ensure the government is contracting work at the lowest price possible.
Cut 50 Percent of Foreign Aid ($20 billion per year)
It is consistently one of the only portions of the budget Americans actually want to cut.

"There are many things I disagree with Chuck Hagel on, there are many things I disagree with John Kerry on, there are very few things I agree with the president on, but the president gets to choose political appointees," Senator Rand Paul said.

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
well, Rand was in a catch 22 with this decision. There wasn't a clear right or wrong vote in my opinion. The main reason why the repubs dont like hagel is because he questioned karl rove, emperor Bush, and our influence with israel (which rand also quesions). I cannot fault him for this, but it will look bad for Rand with some of the republican base. I think this is a non issue and hope he grills brennan soon.

Here are some things going on this morning in your world of tech:
Shares of Samsung Electronics (005930KS) closed up fractionally at ₩1,370,000 in Seoul trading after the company overnight reported preliminary Q3 revenue and operating profit that topped expectations, helped by stronger-than-expected sales of the "Galaxy S III" smartphone, despite weakness in DRAM sales.
Samsung projects ₩51 trillion to ₩53 trillion in revenue, just slightly head of the consensus ₩51.9 trillion. In a note to clients this morning, Bernstein Reseach's Mark Newman reiterates an Outperform rating, noting that contrariety to his estimate for Samsung to sell 15 million Galaxy S III's the company may have actually sold 20 million or so.
One year ago today, Apple (AAPL) co-founder Steve Jobs passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. The Apple Web site this morning includes a photo tribute to jobs on its home page, culminating in a message posted by CEO Tim Cook, stating "his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Speaking of Apple, Cowen & Co.'s Matthew Hoffman, who rates the stock Outperform, this morning writes that "banding" of the iPhone 5, the fact it doesn't match all spectrum bands in the world for "long term evolution," or LTE, wireless, means it may be disadvantaged in some markets where it can only offer 3G wireless capabilities. Hoffman hopes more SKUs of the phone will solve the problem, and he leaves unchanged his iPhone estimates.
Apple shares this morning are down $5.70, or 0.9%, at $661.10.
Shares of Zynga (ZNGA) are down 54 cents, or 19%, at $2.28, after the company last night cut its year outlook as it tries to transition from being just a Web-based video games provider. The stock got at least one downgrade this morning, from R.W. Baird's Colin Sebastian, who cut his rating to Neutral from Outperform, and cut his price target to $3 from $6.
As Sebastian writes this morning, "It is clear that Zynga will not be able to counterbalance social gaming headwinds this year with its success in mobile and its broader network buildout […] Moreover, the company's platform transition could extend well into 2013."
Neil Doshi of Citigroup, who has a Neutral rating on the stock, notes this morning that ZNGA is trading at about the value of its $2 per share in cash.
Zynga's weakness has spilled over onto Facebook (FB), which is down 53 cents, or 2.4%, at $21.43 this morning. JP Morgan's Doug Anmuth, who has an overweight rating on the shares, cut his estimates for "Payments" revenue that Facebook receives from Zynga for next year to $582 million from a prior $797 million. However, Anmuth is not worried, because Facebook is all about ads, not payments, he writes: "Facebook's Payments challenges further emphasize the company as an advertising story. On that front we remain bullish."
Speaking of Facebook, Jefferies & Co.'s Brian Pitz this morning is increasingly optimistic about the company's chances, he writes. Pitz, who has a Buy rating on the stock and a $30 price target, is especially excited about something called "Facebook Exchange," or FBX, a kind of direct mail marketing channel. Those who use FBX tell Pitz it "will be the second or third largest channel for direct response ads over time" and compare it to Google's (GOOG) Ad Exchange, or to the early days of keyword search advertising.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) shares continue to be under pressure following Wednesday's analyst day presentation and the cut in outlook for 2013. The stock got two downgrades today, one from Argus Research's Jim Kelleher, who cut his rating to Hold, and Sterne Agee's Shaw Wu, who cut the stock to Neutral.
Writes Wu, "We are at a loss in identifying positive catalysts within a reasonable investment horizon and fear for further downside surprises as we believe the headwinds the company faces are likely structural and secular in nature. Also, in our sum-of-the- parts analysis, we see a bullish case scenario of $15 but more likely $10 taking into consideration a liquidity discount and decent return for a private equity buyer."
Speaking of struggling stocks, Piper Jaffray's Gus Richard today predicts Intel (INTC) may see some pick up in share price as a "dead cat bounce," given that "news for Intel is so bad it is unlikely to get worse near term."
Probably the Street will improve numbers that have been drastically slashed, he thinks: "We see improving demand as holiday builds is pushed into Q4 and comps are easy. We expect a positive Q4 estimate revision, albeit likely a minor one. We expect this to have a short-term positive impact on the shares.
Intel shares this morning are up 32 cents, or 1.4%, at $22.78.

Apple (AAPL) shares rose into positive territory a short while ago, after opening down, helped perhaps from some positive comments here and there. The stock is currently up $2.33, or half a percent, at $430.75, and rose as high as $432.96.
Doug Kass of Seabreeze Partners a short while ago fired off a missive to followers, saying he's "going Apple picking" and that the "risk/reward scenario makes the shares ripe for a trade":
With an extreme move in investor sentiment, shares of Apple are turning more attractive on a risk/reward basis, though they probably still should be viewed as a trading sardine not an eating (or investing) sardine. I still believe that most earnings forecasts for the company are too high (based on a more competitive business backdrop), but even if, as I fear, margins are vulnerable, this has likely been discounted at current price levels. Despite the share price schmeissing, Apple's stable of applications and products will remain a dominant factor in the markets it serves. Investors' disappointing reaction to the recent trends in the company's product offerings might be transitory as the company begins to upgrade its portfolio and continues to innovate.
And Tavis McCourt of Raymond James, who has an Outperform rating on the stock, and a $600 price target, was on CNBC a short while ago, being interviewed by Carl Quintanilla, describing how he thinks the arrival of Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) next "Galaxy S" series phone running Google's (GOOG) Android, which is expected to take place at an event in New York tomorrow, may actually help Apple to the extent that it turns attention away from constant hardware upgrades.
Given that there may be little that is strikingly different in the Galaxy S IV, in McCourt's opinion, "investors may be realizing that this is sort of played out" in terms of the smartphone upgrade cycle. "That may turn people's attention back to the software."
Update: Following is the actual transcript of the interview with McCourt, followed by the video itself:
Carl Quintanilla: A lot of discussion today about certainly their [Samsung's] marketing prowess, and the degree they're now spending money, spending more money than Apple did last year on TV ads, but they say there's no substitute for product. Do they have the product?
Tavis McCourt: I think it's going to be a great product, but I think one of the takeaways from this is gonna be that there's just very little in terms of differentiation that you can still do on hardware in this space. The smartphone space is starting to be a lot like the laptop space, in terms of the degree of differences of the hardware get less and less, and really the differentiation is in software. So I don't expect a lot of new bells and whistles form this Galaxy S IV relative to the S III. It'll have a better processor, better screen, better camera, but in terms of getting things thinner and lighter, there's a limit to what you can do, and I think we're kind of there.
CQ: Do you think that's going to be true for the forseeable future? Are there leaps technology still has to make to make a smartphone different than we think about it today?
TM: The next leap really would be bendable screens. The degree to which consumers would like that, or how you would incorporate that into a smartphone, would be interesting. I'm sure there would be a lot of interesting form factor changes. But that's probably 2014 at the earliest.
CQ: So it sounds like this is maybe not the existential threat to Apple that people talk about.
TM: No, in fact, I think, you know, there was obviously a lot of disappointment in the investment community that the iPhone 5 wasn't that different from the 4, etc. I think people are going to start to realize that it's not just Apple, this is the logical conclusion to the form factor that started in 2007. And it's going to start to come down to, well, do you want the iOS operating system or do you want the Android operating system. But I don't think there's going to be tremendous differentiation in hardware from this point forward.
CQ: Of course, there are pockets of growth that Samsung could steal from others, people continue to have conversations about the enterprise and corporate IT. Is that an area where Apple is truly vulnerable now?
TM: Yeah, it's funny to talk about Apple being vulnerable there. I still think that from an embedded base perspective, BlackBerry (BBRY) is probably the one that's more vulnerable. This whole BYOD trend in the enterprise only exists because of Apple. Android, and Samsung specifically, are making some inroads on the margin. But all the data we see is the vast majority of demand on the enterprise side is for Apple-based smartphones and tablets.
CQ: You wrote a note about Apple itself on March 7th, saying the June quarter is not the reason to own the stock. But you've still got the outperform and the $600 target. Why?
TM: I look at all stocks in terms of risk and reward, and I think there's probably two potential scenarios for Apple, right?Either this operating system and this ecosystem becomes less and less popular over time. I think that's a low-probability scenario, but if that happens you could certainly see margins continue to come down, and revenue growth continue to come down. And you could probably put a reasonable bear-case scenario of $300 on the stock if everything went poorly over the next 18 months. However, you could also make a pretty easy case that, look, iPhone 5S creates a lot more upgrades than the iPhone 5 did. There were not a lot of upgrades for iPhone 5 relative to the 4S. They could enter new markets, lower-end iPhone markets, higher-end iPhone markets with bigger screens, higher ASPs [average selling prices], TV, watch, etc. A lot of things could get revenue re-accelerating over the next 12 to 18 months. And if so, it's not a stretch to see the stock over $800 in 18 months. It's a very volatile name, and a lot of the performance over the next 18 months will depend on what product Apple chooses to launch. So it's difficult to predict. But I think the risk-reward is actually quite positive right now.
CQ: If your range is that big, I mean, worse case, to $300, best case to $800, then literally time will tell, there's just no way to know right now.
TM: Yeah, this is very different than the previous five years at Apple, where you were just betting on iPhone going from zero percent share to whatever it ended up being, 5% share, 10% share, 20% share of the market. Now this is really a bet on products that nobody has seen yet. And frankly I'm a little surprised that the investment community hasn't given management more credit, and the company more credit, given their history. But it is what it is. It is clearly — the iPhone in its current iteration has been played out about as well as it can be played, and now it's a question of what are they going to do next, and so, it is what it is.

Lingering lessons from a momentous 20th anniversary at GM
DETROIT -- Just over 20 years ago -- on April 6, 1992 -- General Motors' board of directors finally said, "Enough."
After watching GM's market share slide lower and lower, and the red ink pump out like blood from a severely wounded soldier, the outside directors took charge.
The board announced that John Smale, the former CEO of Procter & Gamble, would replace Bob Stempel as chairman of GM's powerful executive committee. Two key Stempel allies, GM President Lloyd Reuss and Executive Vice-President F. Alan Smith, were demoted and kicked off the board. CFO Robert O'Connell also was demoted and sent to GMAC.
Six months later, Stempel, Reuss, F. Alan Smith and Robert Schultz, vice chairman in charge of the GM Hughes subsidiary, resigned. Jack Smith, head of GM's international operations, became CEO, while Smale became GM's chairman.
You can debate whether the personnel changes were good. We certainly do here at Automotive News. Most of the folks in my office denounce the Smith-for-Stempel change as a classic case of letting the bean counters take over from the car guys, with disastrous results.
I'm one of the few here to think that Jack Smith was a huge improvement, bringing a sense of urgency to GM's floundering that Stempel didn't. Stempel's policies had led to a rescue plan that called for closing 20 plants -- with no guarantees that GM's quality, sales, or profits would improve. What's your definition of "disastrous?"
But let's put aside the details of the personnel changes. Today's anniversary is a reminder that boards can turn activist and stop being, as Ross Perot once labeled GM's, management's "pet rocks."
It should happen more often.
What would have happened if GM's board, back in the Rick Wagoner era, had installed a new management team when the automaker's losses hit $35 billion, instead of waiting until they topped $70 billion? Might GM have avoided bankruptcy?
We don't know. But if they had said losses of that magnitude were unacceptable, maybe President Barack Obama wouldn't have had to take Wagoner up on his offer to resign. (Reminder to readers still offended by that: The President didn't fire the CEO. Wagoner had made the offer first, and Obama said, "OK.")
The bottom line: Directors can demand results, or they can let someone else do it – say, a bankruptcy judge. The better route is for directors to do their job.

Sequence vs. Reload
Not for dudes with big shoulders
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Got this pack, hoping it would meet my needs for a hiking pack with camera specific storage. Sadly, upon throwing it on, the shoulder straps hit me in all the wrong places. The straps were a bit narrow, and hit me way high on the delts. I tried all the different adjustments here, but none were enough.
Just in case the pack was meant to be loaded to fit right, I slapped my telephoto lens, macro lens, all-purpose lens, and camera body in here to give it some weight. The pack still fit poorly, but I will say, the camera storage was pretty sweet. I strapped my girlfriend to it as well, and she was too small, and the pack hit her wrong as well.
Overall, a good pack, if you're exactly the right size, probably an average heighted, narrow shouldered, skinny dude.

On Miracles and Politics in Colonial Imagery
International Studies faculty member Patrick Hajovsky travels to Europe to speak about and study religious and political imagery in colonial Spanish America.
Dr. Patrick Hajovsky spent part of the fall in Europe speaking about divine intervention in Peruvian earthquakes. Sound odd? In fact, it's not. On Oct 12 he presented a paper at the Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail for a group of scholars of Spanish America about local memory and competing miraculous images in Cusco, Peru that were responsible for intervening in earthquakes. One was Our Lady of the Remedies, which was favored among Spanish magistrates in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The other was Our Lord of the Earthquakes, which has since and to this day been preferred. So, how does one explain this discrepancy? "I posit that the answer lies in the intersections between official histories written by Spanish magistrates, and popular festivals in which these images take part," Dr. Hajovsky says.
After his talk Dr. Hajovsky heads to the Ethnological Museum, in Vienna, and Ethnological Museum, in Berlin, to examine sculptures under the patronage of the Aztec emperor Moctezuma for an upcoming book on Moctezuma's fame. "This is important," says Dr. Hajovsky, "because the photographs I have been studying for this project can only go so far to convey the properties of a three-dimensional sculpture. I need to confirm that I've seen and thought about all of their properties." From there he will visit the Bodleian Library at Oxford University to examine another aspect of Moctezuma's historical persona contained in one page of the Codex Mendoza, an important Mexican manuscript dated to ca. 1541 (20 years after the Conquest) in which there is a "portrait" of the Aztec emperor. Why is this important? "There's much controversy as to whether or not Moctezuma had a beard, since the beard was an important symbol of virility and power to European audiences." In an earlier study Dr. Hajovsky had found that in Andre Thevet's 1584 publication, True Lives and Portraits of Illustrious Men, Moctezuma is beardless while his Spanish adversary Cortés (as with other European explorers) is presented with a heavy beard. Understanding how Moctezuma is depicted in the Codex Mendoza can provide a piece of evidence to help reveal the motivations behind representations of the Aztec emperor in European colonial history.

Autodesk Media Summit 2012
autodesk new products game cloud tools been users mobile
The first half of the day started with presentations by the corporate brass, which announced Autodesk's recent successes and gave some insight into their future goals. The day concluded in break-out sessions with the various product managers. The second day included case study presentations by several of Autodesk's key customers.
Words from the CEO
The opening presentation was made by Carl Bass, the president and CEO of Autodesk. He spoke of the strength of Autodesk in this troubled economy. Over the past year, Autodesk exceeded their aggressive goal of 10 percent growth by growing an impressive 14 percent. He also stated that over 75 percent of Autodesk's business is done outside the U.S.
Figure 1: Carl Bass, President and CEO of Autodesk, delivered the opening address, image courtesy of Autodesk
Mr. Bass reflected on a presentation made two years ago where he noted that the entire computer landscape was changing. The platform was moving from desktop workstations to a mobile, social and cloud-based computing. Just as the shift between mainframes and workstations shook up the way we do business, this change has the potential to be even more disruptive. Mr. Bass stated, "We're moving to a world where the computing center of the world is where you are."
He then showed with some pride how Autodesk has answered the call to support these new mobile, social and cloud-based platforms. He mentioned how in years past, engineers were PC-centric and would always say that they would email the files once they get back in the office, but now they can call up their applications on their mobile device and email it immediately to the client. AutoCAD WS is a good example of this. "AutoCAD WS launched less than 2 years ago. Now over 7 million users are accessing it. 300,000 files are uploaded to AutoCAD WS a week, that's 1,800 per hour, 30 files every minute," said Carl Bass. This is proof that mobile devices are being used extensively by Autodesk users.
Another popular application on mobile devices is Sketchbook, which has been downloaded over 10 million times with 150,000 new downloads happening per week. This technology is allowing artists to be more creative than ever. When seeing the quality of art produced on these mobile devices, a viewer commented in amazement, "I can't believe someone drew this on their phone."
The Force Effect software is yet another example. It enables advanced kinematics simulations on an iPad causing one university professor to complain how his students cheated on their homework by using this advanced new software instead of doing it the old fashioned way of pencil and paper.
On the social front, several Autodesk sponsored web sites provide places for communities of users to interact. The recently acquired Instructables.com site has 13 million visitors a month and the PIXLR service, which offers online photo editing has had over 21 million visitors.
The Future is Cloudy
To talk more on Autodesk's cloud initiatives, Ahmar Hanspal, Senior Vice President, Information Modeling & Platform Products Group, presented next. He mentioned that the days of the stand-alone applications is over. The current set of Autodesk products are designed to work together and the products are designed to be cloud-centric. "The cloud is a platform that allows us to get design and creation technology into the hands of anyone anywhere," he said. The cloud works to Find, Connect and Crunch relevant data. It will enable users to get access to their own work from anywhere and projects that used to take hours or days on the desktop will take only minutes in the cloud. This enables designers to explore hundreds of design options instead of just a handful.
Autodesk is seeing users hungry to access and use these cloud-technologies. With currently only support for AutoCAD and Revit, they are seeing a 22 percent growth in cloud usage each month. The current version of AutoCAD has a cloud rendering option. This option lets users send their project up to the cloud for rendering. Autodesk has seen over 100,000 rendering jobs submitted to the cloud over the 6 months period that the service has been available. One cited example produced a quality, photo-realistic rendering in the fraction of the time for a nominal fee and enabled the user to have access to the an amazingly powerful set of rendering servers available when needed. This puts the power available previously only to a select few companies in the hands of everyone.
Although the presentation discussed the importance of cloud and mobile-based platforms, no definite plans concerning adding cloud and/or mobile options to 3d Max, Maya or the other media and entertainment products were mentioned. However, Autodesk is seeing the benefit and in the future we can certainly expect to have an unlimited render farm at our disposal via the cloud.
Research Updates
Throughout the rest of the day, several more presentations focused on the on-going research efforts happening at Autodesk. Marc Petit, Senior Vice President, Media & Entertainment, showed a prototype character generation tool that will be released on Autodesk 360, which includes a store of applications that users can access.
Scott Reese, Senior Director, Digital Simulation, mentioned the need for real-world simulation tools to be used to counter product failures. He cited the example of the XBOX 360. New units frequently failed with the notorious "red ring of death" caused by the system overheating. Microsoft responded to this problem by extending the warrantee from 1 year to 3 years at a cost that exceeded one billion dollars. Proper thermal analysis of the product could have prevented this.
Autodesk is planning on rolling out a pay-as-you-go service for all its simulation tools on Autodesk 360 making the entire suite available to all its customers without the expense of the full package. This will give all Autodesk customers access to infinite computational power in the cloud for running simulations without the hardware constraints.
Brian Mathews, Vice President, Reality Capture, showed the 123D Catch project that creates 3d models from a series of pictures. This technology was also outfitted on an autonomous drone that flew over a castle and scanned it from an aerial view. He also showed a chip that has been developed that can wirelessly transmit data such as light, temperature and stress. These chips can be placed in concrete to provide information on the stresses and forces acting on the building.

Updated Tools
The rest of the day was spent with the various product managers who made presentations on the updated software releases for the Media and Entertainment products. All of the suite products are being updated and they also announced a new suite called the Autodesk Ultimate Suite that includes both 3ds Max and Maya along with the other key products. Previously, the suites were available with only 3ds Max or Maya, but the Ultimate Suite includes them both. All suites will now also include a copy of Sketchbook Designer 2013 for creating concept art using both paint and vector toolsets.

Maya 2013 includes many new features including a new skinning workflow that more effectively applies the skin weights based on the underlying skeleton. There is also a new Maya to MotionBuilder live link that can be used to stream data between open sessions of both packages enabling users to see the animation results as edits are made. The new nHair lets the hair strands interact with particles in the scene.
The 2013 version of 3ds Max includes the ability to use Maya hotkeys for navigating viewports making it easier for artists that have experience in Maya to move to 3ds Max without having to learn new keyboard shortcuts. HumanIK technology has also be added to the Character Animation Toolkit (CAT) features in 3ds Max, which allows CAT characters to work seamlessly in Maya and MotionBuilder. There is also a new Retiming tool for reworking animations without having to redo them and a plug-in to Adobe After Effects that keeps the two packages in sync.
Welcome to Gameware
I spent a lot of time speaking with Greg Castle, who is the Product Manager over the new Gameware brand. Autodesk has been aggressively acquiring different game middleware companies and now has branded all these technologies together as the Gameware brand. The Gameware solutions include broad game engine support including Big World, Hero, CryEngine 3, Havok, Unity S, UDK and Phyre Engine.
The latest acquisition is GRIP Entertainment, makers of AI software. Their two products are Cognition and Population. Cognition is a visual programming tool for organizing, duplicating and assigning behaviors to NPC. Population is used to create character crowds.
Mr. Castle begin his presentation by noting some the trends in the video game industry. The first and most alarming trend is the rising complexity of video games development. Game studios are being asked to make game assets with more complexity using the same budgets and timelines. A key result of this pressure is that many studios are becoming risk averse. Their solutions are often to outsource production and streamline their workflow, but Autodesk is the solution. Using the Autodesk DEC tools, you can remove barriers and decrease the cost of production. FBX provides a workflow that runs from art to the game engine.
Autodesk also recently announced that some of the Gameware products have been licensed by Nintendo and will be included in the Software Development Kit for developers working on Wii U titles. The included tools include Scaleform for creating interfaces, Kynapse for adding artificial intelligence, and HumanIK for interactive character animation. These tools will provide a huge benefit for developers giving them an off-the-shelf solution for many framework structures.
We also got to see a presentation of the new Scaleform 4.1 features. The new version includes a mobile-ready player making it easier than ever to create, not only interfaces, but entire games. There is also a new front-end client that lets you preview changes before exporting and a new Analyzer for Memory and Performance (AMP) tool for optimizing the interface. Scaleform 4.1 now supports the Unity 3 engine and the Microsoft Windows 8 Metro platform.
Mr. Castle also showed off the mobile game called TwinSpin, created by GlobZ, that was ported to the iOS entirely using Scaleform. It was Scaleform's ability to optimize the data that kept the 72-level game at about 10 MB, well under the 20 MB limit.
Autodesk Kynapse has also been updated with a new pathfinding mode that lets the characters update their path as the environment changes around them. There are also some new path smoothing algorithms and a smaller memory footprint for AI characters, which lets you have more NPCs running around the level.
Beast has also been updated with an interactive light editing mode. HumanIK improvements include a new shoulder solver and new parameters to define spine curvature that improves spine movement. The HumanIKk plug-in to MotionBuilder has also been improved.
To show off the efficiency and power of the Gameware suite of tools, Autodesk challenged an internal game development team of 10 people to create a triple AAA title using these tools. The team was able to complete the entire game in only 3 months. The game is called Hyperspace Madness and you can find information on how the game was created on the Autodesk web site.
Case Studies
During the second day of the summit, several Autodesk users presented case studies of their recent work. David Frost, Chief Technology Officer for Industrial Light and Magic, spoke about how they use Autodesk tools coupled with their own proprietary tools to create effects for movies and games.
He also mentioned that with offices in San Francisco and Singapore, they can efficiently use their render farm by submitting render jobs around the clock. Another highlight was the new technology that allows a director to track a virtual scene in a motion capture studio enabling the director to visualize camera angles and setup shots. This technique was used to create Rango, which recently won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.

Bart Ney of the CALTRANS group showed how they used to Autodesk products to create a visualization of the freeway cut-over done on the Bay Bridge in San Francisco. The visualization animation helped motorists to see how the process was being completed in a timely manner without having to close down the essential roadway for an extended period of time.
Finally, an architectural team based in Brazil showed their development of an eco-friendly soccer stadium built for the World Cup 2014.
The good news from this event is that Autodesk as a company is doing fine and will be around despite the tough economic conditions. This is great for companies that use their products because it insures that the products will continue to evolve and improve.
The other good news is that Autodesk is focusing a lot of energy in understanding, acquiring and building tools that game companies need to be more efficient. It is this efficiency that will enable game development teams to stay profitable and ahead of the increasing complex games that are in demand.

Surprisingly Seantrel Henderson is listed at #78 and he's not even the best O-lineman on the Canes squad, Brandon Linder is.
the only concern that i have with clowney is that he keeps adding weight and loses some of that explosion and burst...like daquan bowers did a couple years ago...clowney is plenty heavy enough right now...don't gain any more weight
He's not losing any explosion or burst. He's getting more explosive as his frame continues to fill out. This is part of what makes Clowney a legitimately special talent as opposed to the lip service that I've seen get paid to many a player. Bowers is a prime example. I didn't buy the Bowers hype.
Bowers had nowhere near the movement skills and explosion that Clowney has. Bowers didn't have the length that Clowney has to continue adding good weight.
Clowney was running 4.5's this spring at 270 pounds.
4.5 at 270...i look forward to seeing that
Hope you guys had a nice Memorial Day weekend as well. My birthday is tomorrow (May 29th) and this is always around this Holiday, so it is a nice way to kick off the Summer.
I have seen some publications having us taking a DT to possible replace Starks. Daniel McCullers of TENN, Anthony Johnson of LSU, or Louis Nix of Notre Dame, might be a nice fit. It will be interesting to see what Ireland does with Starks, and whether he will give him a long term deal.
I like McCullers to some degree but based on what he's shown to date (he could improve next year, who knows) he doesn't deserve 1st round standing let alone top 10 standing. I think this is just people going nuts about a size listing (based on tradition) and not stopping to think a moment about the direction the NFL is going and how the value of those gigantic space eaters is being reduced at an annual pace. When I watch him I see a guy that is big and strong and dominant within his area of operation, but I also see a guy whose area of operation is relatively small and I don't see a guy who is consistently affecting the passer.
You see three archetypes when it comes to the guys in the middle up front. There are huge guys that are unnaturally quick for their size, there are smaller guys who are unnaturally strong for their size, and then there's something in between. There's always going to be demand for the guys that fit right in between those archetypes, so long as they're good. But in the past, with Bill Parcells' and George Young's "planet theory", you can say with certainty that the NFL was definitely a lot more enamoured with the huge guys that are unnaturally quick for their size. That continues in some circles. But lately there's been a growing trend away from those guys and toward the other end of the spectrum, the smaller guys who are unnaturally strong despite their being small. I think you can directly attribute this trend to the growing importance of the passing game and especially the quick passing game.

DTR (Dull Technical Rambling)
Do you hate it too that Advogato keeps escaping my (I mean, your ;-) cute markup like the  and  elements? It's annoying, but I'm too lazy to dig into mod_virgule to fix that (what a funny name, anyway). Advogato seems to be at its vesper anyway; the frequency of weblog postings at least dropped drastically compared to the last time I checked about half a year ago.
cdfrey recently talked about how painful web programming is. I agree that in general, web programming can be a PITA at least for the start. However, after you gain some experiences, you usually stabilize on some framework which suits you and actually makes your web programming not too painful at all. I for one eventually stabilized on a rather quite trivial framework consisting of few custom Perl modules I just carry around. They wrap the boring parts of page generation and the most boring SQL (if you just want a single row, something like sql_load_record(dbh => $db, table => 'foo', bar => 'baz') can make doing stuff really much more pleasant. mod_perl makes the Perl-generated stuff lightning fast, too. I also tend to separate functionality rigorously and have a special script for almost every page and action; I heavily modularize all the common parts, and I found this to be much more maintainable than a single big script with some smart multiplexing etc.
I will hopefully soon finally get back to my Graph-Layderer project - an attempt to create a general infrastructure for layouting and drawing graphics. It uses the famous spring algorithm, which also e.g. Graphviz's neato uses. However, my set of Perl modules aims to actually create something which is also at least a little visually pleasing, which you can't really say about Graphviz's output in general (read as: it tends to look like crap and frequently it all collapses and gets funnily mangled together; unless they made a dramatic improvement over the last year or so). It should be workable, I only need to make an actual interface for it and probably some script wrapper so that non-Perl programs can use it too. I'll need to check about the Perl Artistic License's compatibility with GPL, too.
But today I had another nicely unproductive day - I did almost nothing, and did that very slowly so it took all the day. The worst thing about me and those days is that instead of getting my ass from the chair and going for a walk if anything, I keep sitting at the computer and devastating my eyes. I'll need to have a serious long talk with myself.

I guess I mistakenly assumed Dolphins fans would be Heat fans, since we all live down here in Miami. I forget we have international dolphin fans who are NBA fans of other teams and so their saltiness of the HEAT shines through.
I mean, you have guys like Kobe arrested for rape, running his teammate out of town, ruining a dynasty, making the GOAT Coach hate him, call him uncoachable..... among other things....
you have guys like Dwight Howard who have re-defined the meaning of Flip Flop, has currently 5 or 6 children out of wedlock with 5 or 6 different women, and demanding trades while still under contract. (Something Kobe did as well)
you have guys like Carmelo Anthony who get into legal issues and fight on the court......
but it's LeBron, someone who has never been arrested, never demanded a trade, honored his playing contract and informed the Cavaliers he would decide his future in free agency, and really never did anything wrong, he is the one most despised. You would think he was the mastermind behind 9/11 by the way some people talk. "Worst person in all of sports" they say. Michael Vick tortured dogs right? Aaron Hernandez obstruction of justice in a murder case? Chad Johnson domestic abuse? Kobe arrested for rape?
but nah dawg, dat LeBron, i hate him, he went to Miami Heat !!!!!!!! ahhhhh!!!!!!!!
Whatever. I don't have this problem when I hang out with my buddies who are Dolphin fans, cause we live in Miami and are also Heat fans. LeBron is 305 all day now, and all this hate reminds me of the Miami Hurricanes. Rest of nation always hates Miami. Jealousy.
