It's time for a Mom Confession -- because, let's face it, we're real mothers and sometimes it doesn't work the way the parenting books say it should.
This Week's Confession:
My husband and I are going to Disney but are leaving my toddler and baby with my parents.
I have a 2 year old old and a 9 month old. We bought a family package and were going to take both of them, but now my parents are offering to babysit so we can really enjoy ourselves. At first I didn't even consider it, but we have never been on a vacation by ourselves. We didn't have a honeymoon, either.
I will feel kinda guilty going to Disney without my 2 year old. She would really enjoy it. But it will be so nice for the both of us to hang out like we've never done before. -- anonymous
Question: Do you ever wish you had a career or something of your own outside the home?
Yes, I am a SAHM and always hope to find a career I love.
Sometimes, but there will be time for that when the kids are older.
Never, I am fulfilled staying home with my kids.
I'm a SAHM, but I also have something of my own (explain below).
I like my job, but I still wish I could be a SAHM.
I work, and I still long for something more fulfilling for myself.

The Marais is the perfect central location in Paris. Close to the river, Metro stops and many main sites, but still in a small, quiet neighborhood with great restaurants and shops. Alex's apt. was a comfortable haven for a week of exploring Paris. Roomy and contained all the helpful elements from a hair dryer and great shower to a complete kitchen. Historically old with beamed ceilings, but modernly outfitted - the perfect combination. Surrounded by two courtyards, it was very quiet, but with two brasseries steps away and - importantly - a patisserie a few steps further. Fresh croissants every morning. A very safe neighborhood and the apartment - behind three locked doors - felt extremely safe. Alex accommodated our early arrival by allowing the cleaning lady to let us in so we never actually met him, but he was friendly and helpful on the phone. We would certainly return to this or other of his apartments. My one quibble would be that there were no English instructions. All notes were in French. It would have been very helpful to have more information on how things worked in English.
Dear Alex
Thank you for the opportunity to be in your apartment from 9 to 15 February.
Alex personally greeted us and showed the whole apartment.
Great location. Everything is very good.
Olga and Vladimir
Definitely larger than the photos make it appear! I was on my own, but with it's separate bedroom and living room, Alex's place would certainly be comfortable for four people. The flat was warm and welcoming with a well-stocked kitchen and king-sized bed.
The neighbourhood is great. Communication with Alex was prompt (although I didn't actually meet him) and he was very detailed about how to access the flat.
La comunicación con Alex fue fluida en todo momento.
El apartamento está en un lugar inmejorable, a muy poca distancia andando del Hotel de Ville, del Museo Pompidou, de Notre Dame... El vecindario es tranquilo y no se oyen ruidos de la calle. Cerca hay muchos cafés, tiendas de todo tipo...
El apartamento es amplio y está bien equipado con frigorífico, horno, tostador, cafetera, exprimidor, tabla de planchar, aspiradora...
Está en un primer piso sin ascensor pero no son muchas escaleras. Da a dos patios interiores agradables a la vista.
La calefacción calienta bien y la caldera también.
En nuestra próxima visita a París, sin duda, volveríamos.
¡A bientôt, Alex!
Nous avons été ravis de notre séjour .Notre hôte ,Alex a été des plus accueillant et accomodant.Nous nous sommes tout de suite sentis chez nous.L'appartement est spacieux, cosy, confortable et excessivement bien situé dans le Marais,au coeur de la Capitale.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We really enjoyed to stay at Alex flat the 14 Days we were in Paris.
We liked the big windows, the very fine bed-sheets. And even if the area round Bastille is quite busy it was totally silent within the flat. We just heard some birds and the nice sound from the fountain in the garden.
The only thing that we missed was an oven (there was a microoven, but it's not the same thing is you like to cook).
We would like to come back...

upload paper citations to NEES and NSF reports at the sme time
At the Nov. 22 GB meeting during the discussion on capturing metrics for NEES, Glenn Rix remarked that it would be nice if the process for uploading papers to NEES would be the same as for uploading to NSF project reports system. As a NEESR awardee, having to do both separately is a hassle. I note that the NSF project awarrds system can take endnote formats. One possible "good way" to proceed would be to encourage researchers to upload their paper citation papers to NEES and then offer to give an endnote format back that can be plugged into NSF reports. This is a possible win-win in that NEES will collect a more complete set of NEES influenced papers and the NEES researchers will win by making their NSF reporting process easier. Joy Pauschke also noted that while the NSF reports system is not public, publications can be attached to the awards system.

Hey! I must be suffering from cabin fever, big time.. I'd be willing to drive to any of these places. But fair's fair. Only if someone else helps w/ the driving so I can knit, too. We could take a tour of the woolen mill, eat a chicken dinner, maybe visit Sally's Mom (tee-hee).

OK kiddies: tonight, as in Tuesday night/Wednesday morning...after midnight y'know? It' the Perseids meteor showers at their best! Get out yer binoculars, Harry Potter glasses...whatever and enjoy the show! Best show in the sky for August....and it's F...R...E...E...!!!
Ludicrous speed!!!!!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Stupid clouds ruined my viewing. Saw only two before they rolled in like jerks,

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Thanks for the heads up TeeEye.
I went outside at midnight, stayed out there for a while and saw at least 5 of them.
All of them were small except for one which was quite large and had green fire mixed in it's tail. Wonder what causes the green? Some sort of metal I'm sure, copper perhaps?
"Ohh, maxi big da fish! Well dat smells stinkowiff"
"No time to discuss this as a supercommittee.... I am not a supercommittee!"
Most of what you'll see during the Perseids will be small, quick little streaks.
I've always wondered about the green color as well. I've seen that occasionally through the years (working at night does have its astronomical advantages!). My son was outside viewing when I came home last night and his dismal report was no sightings like mine. Too much moon and city lights as I reported above.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
I saw one, decent display while I was lugging my photo equipment in for the night. When I came home, I spent a few more minutes looking skyward but without success.
Oh, well. There's always next year.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
No clouds. Same result.

As a part of the process of administering programs for HIV prevention, care, and treatment, the Office of AIDS (OA) collects and analyzes data about the services provided in order to conduct quality assurance, assess performance, report to policy-makers and stakeholders, and meet federal and state data submission requirements. The ultimate goal of these data collection and evaluation activities is to ensure that funds are effectively expended to accomplish important public health goals and objectives.
Data collection and evaluation activities for the OA-funded prevention, care, and treatment programs are conducted by staff in the Program Evaluation and Research Section (PEaRS), in the Surveillance Research and Evaluation Branch (SRE) of the Office of AIDS.
HIV prevention program activities include testing in clinical and community settings, prevention with HIV positives such as linkage and retention in care and partner services, HCV testing, syringe exchange services, and behavioral interventions with high-risk HIV negative persons.
Data from many of these activities are captured in the Local Evaluation Online (LEO) system, which also provides canned reporting for agencies using the system to record their activities.
HIV care program activities involve providing medical care, support, and prevention services for persons living with HIV/AIDS, including help with insurance premium payments, housing assistance, and programs to minimize the disparity in access to health care.
Data from most of these activities are captured in the AIDS Regional Information and Evaluation System (ARIES), which also provides canned and custom reporting for agencies using the system to record their activities. For more information about ARIES, go to www.projectaries.org.
HIV treatment activities include the administration of the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). This program ensures that HIV-positive uninsured and under-insured individuals have access to medication.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Rick J
I am considering a trip there also - a toss up between that place and Isla Blanca. As Nevada Caster indicated they go out for the big tarpon right offshore generally in the mornings (60# to 200#) and then go into the mangroves for baby tarpon in the afternoon.
Isla Blanca is a bit farther south - I was there 2 years ago. No big tarpon but good numbers of baby tarpon and good shots at permit and some bones (not found in great numbers at Holbox).
Bill Kiene (Kiene's Fly Shop) in Sacramento has been fishing both places for a number of years and has quite a bit of information on both locations. Check his web site www.kiene.com or give him a call.
I really got hooked on going after the permit and my brother and I both hooked slams on our last day but did not land them all. But from what I understand talking to Bill, the tarpon fishing is likely better at Holbox.
|nevada caster
The Blue Dun www.bluedun.com can give you a lot of info. It is primarily ocean fishing with 12 wt rods, and fast sinking lines. There is a bit of baby tarpon fishing in the lagoons with 10 wts and floating lines when the weather is bad. No bones..all used for shark bait
You can get a lot of info on the island by just doing a google search
It's a small, out of the way place with good food. You can drive (2 hrs), or take a small charter plane if there are enough of you
Holbox Island, Yucatan Tarpon?
Does anyone have any experience or know anything about the tarpon fishing in the summer off Holbox Island in the Yucatan? I understand it is about 100 miles north of Cancun. Some friends of mine are planning to give it a try this summer. Any comments of what to expect, watch for, rod wts., flies, lines, etc is appreciated.
Happy New Year.

Design for Living
Many high-profile critics in the raging debate over "intelligent design" have, understandably, been evolutionary biologists. Legendary Oxford professor Richard Dawkins regularly appears on British TV to talk up Darwin and lash out against ID between books. Harvard emeritus prof E.O. Wilson has edited a hefty new 1,700-page anthology of Darwin's collected works, with the fighting title From So Simple a Beginning.
They're generally not people like Leonard Susskind, a renowned physics professor at Stanford and a prime architect of string theory. His new book, his first for a general audience, has the provocative title The Cosmic Landscape: String Theory and the Illusion of Intelligent Design (Little, Brown). It's not the term "cosmic landscape," trippy as it sounds, that's drawing the attention. Nor is it the words "string theory"even though "string theory" is, admittedly, one of those futuristic-sounding 10-dollar terms, like "chaos theory" or "complexity theory" or "quantum gravity," that get the layperson daydreaming of The Matrix and cybernetic implants. The words that are causing double takesand in some cases, drawing ireare "intelligent design," and the word that precedes them, "illusion."
"Intelligent design" is, for better or worse, its own 10-dollar term these days. But another reason why the book's title seems so surprising is because Susskind hails from the ultra-rarefied world of theoretical physics.

by Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow
Never mind that the word "hadron" appears more often in his book's index than "intelligent design." The Cosmic Landscapewhich is by turns a memoir, an impassioned manifesto, and a brain-melting theoretical-physics primermainly addresses another controversial concept, the anthropic principle, which, as Susskind defines it, is "a hypothetical principle that says the world is fine-tuned so that we can be here to observe it."
Upcoming Events
"I started writing about it as a controversy strictly between physicists," says Susskind. "I started writing it as a physics book, and quite honestly, I didn't know that much about biology and chemistry, but as I started to write, I realized I was writing something broader."
While doing some online research, Susskind inadvertently came across dozens of religious blogs and websites invoking the anthropic principle. "I discovered this very large culture of people [who believe] that the anthropic principle means intelligent design," he says. "That was a bit of an education for me. This book is about the lack of need for supernatural explanations."
Why are the laws of nature so precariously balanced, Susskind writes, on the fine line between life being possible and life being impossible? Susskind argues for the idea that the universe is so huge, messy, diverse, and pregnant with possibilities that the anthropic principle can make sensewithout the necessity for intelligent design. It's a strange stew of several concepts, including nonzero cosmological constants, expanding universes, and vacuum energies.
Susskind has been a professor at Stanford since the late '70s, but you can still detect a trace of old-school New York in his grizzled, no-nonsense voice. He begins and ends his book with a plainspoken quotation"I have no need for this hypothesis," Pierre-Simon Laplace's famous retort after getting grilled by Napoléon for not mentioning God in his mathematical masterwork Mécanique Céleste (Celestial Mechanics).
A lot of weird things have happened in physics since the time of Laplace and Newton. As no-nonsense as Susskind seems, he rejects the idea of a holy grail of beautiful, tidy mathematical equations and elegant minimalist explanations. Our universe, he argues, is a messy place. He frequently uses crazy patchwork quilts and ungainly Rube Goldberg devices as points of comparison. He says he actually finds it "embarrassing" to explain particle physics to a lay audience. "So many different pieces and assumptions and orders of magnitude," he says. "I always think, jeez, is anybody going to believe this?" I ask him what it would take to get answers to some of those hazy questions. His response: "If we had an accelerator at least as big as the galaxy, and if we could pour in 10 trillion barrels of oil per second . . . "
Before Susskind dedicated his life to plumbing the mysteries of the cosmos, he spent some time working as a plumberthe kind that clears drainpipes. Born in the hardscrabble South Bronx, Susskind went to City College with the practical objective of learning how to build heating systems. He quickly realized that he was lousy at his engineering classesall of their interlocking mechanical parts, slide rules, and graph paper diagrams. He found himself falling madly in love with the more ethereal world of physics. Finally, he decided he had to break the news to his dad, a plumber who toiled in gritty tenements in Harlem and the Bronx.
As he vividly recounts in an autobiographical essay, this news wasn't received well by his father.
"The tough guy looked at me and said, 'What thedo you mean, you're not going to be an engineer? What are you going to bea ballet dancer?' I said, 'I want to be something else, a physicist.'
" 'Physicist? Physicist? What the hell is a physicist?' . . . I held my ground and answered, 'It's a kind of scientist.' . . . I was not sure that I could explain so I took a shortcut. I said, 'A scientist like Einstein.'
" 'Einstein?' he said. 'Yeah, Einstein.' For a full minute he stood silent, in deep thought. Then he said, 'Are you any good at this stuff?' "
Susskind wasn't actually comparing himself to Einstein, but it illustrates a pointeveryone knew Einstein. No physicist today can claim the same status in the public imagination. There are famed British physicists like Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose, and physicists who have recently written well-received popular books, like Columbia professor Brian Greene; there's Case Western University professor Lawrence Krauss, who routinely speaks out on public issues, and a handful of others. "I think physicists these days are less public figures than they were 40 or 50 years ago," Susskind observes. "They're less comfortable interacting with the press and political structure. There's so much out there that requires expertise, and requires the input of experts and scientists.
"When I was very young, the great scientists I knew were really public figures. They had come out of Los Alamos, they had come out of the Manhattan Project, and they were used to being taken seriously as authorities, as experts."
Granted, it's no longer World War II. But today, there's a different type of battle at hand.
"As you know, there's something of a war against science going on," Susskind says.

Carbon fiber is a favorite for XC use, but when durability is paramount aluminum is the answer. And, when it comes to alloy, Easton's been an industry leader for over a decade. What they've learned over all those years is evident in the Haven aluminum Handlebar.
It is incredibly light at just 270 grams, and plenty wide at 711 millimeters. Most importantly, though, it's extremely strong. This is due to the 7050 aluminum, and Easton's exclusive TaperWall technology, which allows Easton to use the minimum amount of material necessary without harming overall strength and durability.
TapperWall ensures there's extra material at the clamping zones for both the stem and shifter/brake lever interface. The bars are also shot peened to remove any stress risers that could lead to failure. They feature a 9 degree bend with a 5 degree up sweep and a 20mm rise for excellent control and comfort.
The Easton Haven Handlebar is available in a 31.8-mm clamp diameter and two colors; magnesium or silver.

|$75.00 - $140.00

Laundry detergent has a huge markup! A lot of what you're paying for is water! Making your own detergent will not only save a significant amount of money, but it's also a fun activity to do with the kids.
You should be able to find the ingredients at your neighborhood superstore. The recipe below will allow you to make great performing laundry detergent at 1/10th the cost of store-bought detergent. Let's get busy!
Make Your Own Laundry Detergent
• 6 cups of water
• 1/2 bar of inexpensive soap, grated (find a soap that smells good to you)
• 3/4 cup washing soda (not baking soda)
• 3/4 cup of Borax
• 10-gallon bucket for mixing
• 4 1/2 gallons of water
Pour 6 cups of of water in an appropriate size pot and heat on low. Mix in the grated soap and continue to heat until the soap has completely dissolved. Add 4 ½ gallons of water to the 10 gallon bucket. Add the soap and hot water mixture to the bucket. Now slowly add the Borax and washing soda while stirring. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens. All the work is done, just let the concoction sit for 24 hours and it's ready to use.
There you have it, laundry detergent that costs about $0.02 per load. Yes, that's 2 cents! The name-brand stuff from the store costs 10 times as much. Give it a try – it's easy and fun! You and your clothes won't know the difference.

Model: H663SM-30HE
Branch Circuit Current Monitor - Split Core, 30 CTs - 100A, 240V (L-N).
This product has been discontinued. Click here for the replacement model.
The H663 Series split-core branch circuit current monitoring system provides a costeffective solution for electrical load management. It is ideally suited for applications
where load capacity requirements are dynamic, such as data centers and sales floors.
The split-core housing makes this device perfect for retrofit projects.
The H663 monitors the current draw of each critical breaker in a panelboard. The accumulated information can be transmitted to a Modbus host and/or viewed on an optional local display via an RS-485 network. Data updates occur approximately once per second to provide timely preventative maintenance information. As a circuit approaches capacity, warning and alarm levels trigger (see graph, facing page). Additional capacity can then be added, or loads balanced, to prevent costly downtime from overloaded circuits and unexpected breaker trips.
† Do not apply 300V Class current transformers to circuits having a line-to-neutral voltage greater than 300V, unless adequate additional insulation is applied between the primary conductor and the current transformers. Veris assumes no responsibility for damage of equipment or personal injury caused by products operated on circuits above their published ratings.Click here for complete specifications on the Veris H663SM-30HE

"The problem with internet quotes lies in verifying their authenticity."

"Lucille" is my BanHammer!!!
Here is a serious question.
WVU will easily beat Kansas in the final regular season game. Thats safe to say.
The other 4 games are definately ones that anyone could see WVU losing. Home games vs. TCU and Oklahoma. Road games against OK st and Iowa St. Iowa St is pretty good in their building.
My question is, if WVU loses all 4 of those, can they even qualify for a bowl with a 6th win vs. Kansas? Does James Madison count as a qualifying win? Are they FBS and if not, does it count as a qualifying win?
If not, how funny would it be to see them go 6-6 and not even go to a bowl much less a ****ty bowl game. They got so lucky to win those first two Big 12 games. Texas and Baylor are horrible. If WVU dosent play a terrible defense, they cant win.
Would the Big East take the mountaineers back? Their fans desperately want to go back to fantasy land where they can win 9 games every year playing pure garbage, ignore the fact they get beaten by teams like Loserville, South Florida every year, and occasionally blown out by a garbage team like Syracuse, yet wind up beating some overrated trash team in a bowl. They really enjoyed that. Reality is tough on them.
Yeah, we're gonna need you to start coming in on Saturday's ...
Yeah, that'd be great.
Welp Geno Smith's Heisman campaign came to a close today.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
I thought the University of Miami had the worst defense in college football....then I watched WVU play.
KST just over whelmed WVU. I thought KST would win, but not like that. The offensive line was superior to what WVU had to offer.
All those Geno Smith people out there, got a severe rude awakening.
Once KST beat OK, in Norman, I knew Coach had them ready for anything this year.
WVU would have found out this season that defense is played in the Big East. It is not played in the Big 12. WVU would have had to come here to Louisville...er...LOSERVILLE this season and would not have won. At best they would have tied for the Big East title this season, just like last season.
�Turns out, far too much has been written about great men and not nearly enough about morons. Doesn't seem right.�

Tomah's goal: repeat
TOMAH, Wis. - They don't have a mantra yet, but they have a common goal.
"Finish first," said forward Kelli Pierce, who led the MVC in scoring a year ago.
"To get a conference championship again," said defender Taylor Hancock.
"One, it's a great start, but it's something we want to build on," Head Coach Dale Jonson said.
Tomah won the MVC for the first time in its history in 2012. This year, they return seven starters, including everybody on defense.19655420
"The four of us have played together, we're all seniors, and we've played together since we were like eight," Hancock said.
"We do have a really strong defense coming back from last year, so we want to make that the cornerstone of our team as we continue to find replacement players towards the front and midfield," Jonson said.
"It's going to be a long way till we get there but we're starting to come together more now that we're outside," Pierce said. "But I think we'll be pretty strong this year."
After all, that is the goal.
"And then a three-peat, four peat..." said Hancock.
Tomah opens the season Monday against West Salem.

Hornady Custom-Grade, Full Length 3-Die Set, 450 Marlin
Prices, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online.
Heat-treated for durability and strength
Hand-polished mirror finish
Straight wall pistol and rifle cases require a three die set. The first die resizes and decaps the case. The second die expands (bells) the case mouth to accept a new bullet, and the third die seats (and, if desired, crimps) the bullet. These dies must be correctly adjusted to produce a proper reload.
Hornady dies are hand-inspected and the steel is heat-treated for durability and strength. The hand-polished mirror finish creates dies so smooth that they will never scratch a case. Rifle dies feature an elliptical expander that reduces friction and case-neck stretching. A sliding, in-line seating system vertically aligns each bullet with the case neck for perfect centering.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The round of 32 will have to be sweet enough for the Ole Miss basketball team.
The city where magic happened for Ole Miss in 2001 had less of it this year as No. 13 seed La Salle will wear the Cinderella slipper in the NCAA West Regional after defeating No. 12 seed Ole Miss 75-74 on Sunday night at Sprint Arena.
It was the third win of the tournament for the Explorers (24-9) of the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Marshall Henderson led Ole Miss with 21 points, but the Rebels were outdone by La Salle's Ramon Galloway, who scored 19 of his 24 points in the first half.
The Rebels (27-9) struggled with the athleticism of the Explorers, who forced nine turn-overs in the first half, and it was the athletic drive through the heart of the zone defense by Tyrone Garland that proved to be the game-winning shot with 2.5 seconds left.
The Rebels were bidding for the second Sweet 16 appearance in school history. They advanced to the Sweet 16 in San Antonio in 2001 after defeating Iona and Notre Dame in Kansas City.
Ole Miss set a school-record with 27 victories that season, a figure matched on Friday when the Rebels surprised No. 5 seed Wisconsin 57-46.
Busy explorers
La Salle was playing its third game in five days. The Explorers were forced to play in one of the "First Four" games in Dayton, Ohio, where they beat Boise State 80-71 to reach the field of 64. They upset No. 4 seed Kansas State 63-61 on Friday before an overwhelming pro-Kansas State crowd.
Ole Miss avoided the "First Four" with its run to the SEC tournament championship in Nashville last weekend.
It was the second meeting between Ole Miss and La Salle, a private school in Northwest Philadelphia with an undergraduate enrollment of 4,516.
The Rebels defeated the Explorers 84-77 in December, 2007, Andy Kennedy's second season as Ole Miss coach.

We have our own Ryan now...
currently the 19th ranked competitive eater in the world
This class of WRs is deep but not top heavy with top 15 talent. I personally want to address WR in FA and draft a pass rusher 12th. I'd like to see us draft skill position players with our top 3 picks and go after a lineman in the 3rd. Obviously you need to go BPA, but linemen and runningbacks I am philosophically opposed to drafting in the top 2 rounds.
"I'm no longer concerned with the things I don't have, I'm just living for love and laughs."
While I wouldn't be surprised if this happened, obviously it wouldn't be unprecedented. My hope is that we retain Jake at a more reasonable rate and draft a tackle with one of our latter picks. PFF's stats on Martin's QB pressures has me concerned that he may not be the answer at LT.
Draft WR first (K. Allen only, unless Patterson beast it and workouts). But if this was ever a year to trade down this is the year. I wouldnt even demand much in return (even though i would want alot in return, just might not get it).
We would be better off drafting in the high to mid 20s, especially if we thinking about a OG/OT. Double down with WR/TE in the second round. STL (Dream) or a veteran playoff team (Den/Hou/GB and etc.) who only need a piece here and there and are willing to give up the world to draft someone. (I.E. what ATL did for Julio Jones).
Okay, that may be a pipe dream, but you get the point. No OL and Trade down. WR/TE/DE/FS/CB in rounds 2 and 3. Did not include FA
I'm surprised that none of you have mentioned that: 1) if we address WR in FA, 2) if we address Right Tackle in FA (assuming Jake is not re-signed), 3) AND the BPA at #12 is a lineman....then we should simply trade back and try to pick up an extra second or third round pick.
If we stay at #12, then the pick has to be a playmaking DE or LB as most of you have stated, as there are no playmaking WR's/CB's/TE's (Eifert disappointed me in that Alabama game) / or Safety's worth the pick at 12.
Edit: OK I see the guy above me just did mention trading back....I was typing this as his post came thru - but yeah, trade back if there is no other option.
Why are we drafting a LB? Why on EARTH?
The only reason you draft a LB is if he's a pass rush specialist or a true talent like Jarvis Jones or Barkevious Mingo, who are so versatile they would easily go into 4-3 DE and rush the passer.
Or maybe you just make Misi your situational pass rusher, while moving either of them to full time starting OLB (I likely only do this is Jarvis falls).
Taking a guy like Allen seems like a reach. An understandable reach but a reach none the less. I'm not sure I want Dee Milliner in the top 12 either. Ireland has a lot of pressure on him, and has his work cut out for him.
De Milner anyone?

In Search Of...The Running Man: Part 1
A La Crosse Man is embarking on an amazing marathon challenge
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Running has always been second nature for John Blanchar. "I ran in high school track. They didn't have cross country back then."
And for years following high school John competed in the occasional race. "I would do 5K's and 10K's around town and start training about a month before."
But in the late 80's John joined the River City running club - and ignited a passion. "I did my first marathon in 1989 in Chicago. It was a hot day. And it didn't go very well. It was a struggle. I said - no more. That lasted about a week."
"I think it's kind of like childbirth," says John's wife Sue. "It was grueling during and right after. But then you give it a little time and you're ready to do it again."17349290
And do it again - he did. For the next decade, John ran one or two marathon's a year. "It was something I could do well."
""I can't understand what people think about step after step after step after step," says Sue. "Considering that I don't even like to drive 26 miles to Sparta let alone run 26 miles. It's not my thing."
And after years of marathons in a handful of states, John got an ambitious idea. "He started talking about running all 50 states."
Run a marathon in every single state. "Yeah. This is something to do."
State after state, he left his footprint across the country. But John Blanchar is a man who loves a challenge, and it turns out 'standard' marathons weren't quite enough. So in the middle of his strive for 50 states - he upped the ante.
"We started at a 50 miler at North Shore, Minnesota and did that a few years and then we decided to bump up to the 100 up there."
In fact his longest race to date is 119 miles. It took 24 hours. Begging the question, "why would anyone do that?!?" "Just to see if you can do it. It's a challenge. To see if you can push yourself to the limit."
"It's way beyond me," says Sue. "But there are a lot worse hobbies he could do!"
Kansas, Iowa, Arizona, Pennsylvania, one-by-one, run-by-run, he collected medals and memories along the way. "I pretty much a story from all of them."
But there is one run John would like to forget. A run in July of 2001 when he left his house with one life, never knowing what fate had waiting for him back home.

I have kept 1:1 sugar water in top feeder and clean it regularly, have place pollen sub on top of frames over brood, if they needed it , it was there. My question is, after just looking into the hive yesterday, just looking for amount of bees, i will do a more detail inspection later this week. The amount of bees were filling 3 frame spaces (between frames). Is this a small amount at this time or normal, or even on it's way to be that mega hive. Just wondering if this could be considered a normal build up? I just worry about the girls.

Star-Cross'd Lovers' Nights: Shakespeare on the Plaza
By Ian Wolff [ Thu Jun 19 2014 2:30 PM ]
What is it about Shakespeare's work that's so well-suited to summer eves and outdoor performances? Maybe it's the great Bard's mellifluous meter or his plays' timeless knack for capturing the intoxication of young love on blossom-scented nights. Decide for yourself and catch his masterpiece of love and loss performed under the nascent stars. Opening tomorrow at 7:30pm and running Thursday through Sunday for four weeks, the Vortex Theatre presents Romeo and Juliet on the outdoor stage in Albuquerque's Civic Plaza (400 Marquette NW). It promises good fun for young and old alike as the budding director Billy Trabaudo leads this timeless epic. If you hew more toward the slapstick comedy of A Midsummer Night's Dream, that fairy-laden comedy will be running on alternate nights. Tickets are $15 ($10 for students) with Thursday prices rebated to $10 and $5. For more info and scheduling, visit vortexabq.org.

Nights of Noir: Dead End Nights
By Ian Wolff [ Fri Jun 13 2014 2:30 PM ]
Teeming with hardboiled private dicks steeped in alcohol and battered by billy clubs, and with lean fedora-clad gumshoes propped in the penumbras of lonely lampposts, casing leggy dames holding dark secrets, the noir genre has obsessed writers and directors from Raymond Chandler to Stanley Kubrick. Think Bogey and Bacall, Spade and Marlowe.
For three Sunday nights, and three nights only, Dead End Nights celebrates these wizened dramas in all their sordid glory with a series of radio plays, lectures and secret screenings of mystery flicks. The series opens Sunday, June 15, with James Reich's lecture Real Literature of America. Author of the novels Bombshell and I, Judas, Reich is a specialist in the form who'll share his insights about noir's influence on modern literature. Opening night also includes the radio play Lugdunum Falls, written and performed by Brianna Stallings and Marya Errin Jones, as well as a screening of an undisclosed B-movie. Head down to Tannex (1417 Fourth Street SW) on this strip of old Route 66 to catch the gigs: June 15, 22 and 29, 6pm. $5. Visit thetannex.com for more info.

The Art of the Matter: Cardiac pop-up show
By Ian Wolff [ Fri May 16 2014 8:15 AM ]
If home is where the heart is, Cardiac is where the art is. The annual event, now in its third year, was conceived by the Pop-Up Collective. These local artists (Josh Schriber, Jodie Herrera and Angie Poynter) have seized on the concept of collectivism and DIY spaces that's taken root around the world as an alternative venue for undiscovered artists. Tomorrow, seven local visual artists working in a range of media gather for a one-night pop-up gala and fundraiser for the Heart Hospital of New Mexico at the reimagined industrial space West Bund West (217 Kinley NW). Look for Herrera's stark pop-influenced paintings on wood that capture the female form sans sentimentality, and the eerie, human-animal hybrid wood sculptures of Elana Schwartz. They're joined by Schriber, a painter in acrylic on steel; Joel Davis, whose tile work creates earthy, figurative mosaics; Kate Burn, a photographer; Poynter, a painter; and Lance Ryan McGoldrick, who builds installations. The evening is sustained with libations and snacks from the New York Pizza Department, and the atmosphere is enhanced by DJ Boojaloo and Haldyon. Welcome home.

Well, I finally got out today to shoot in the wet snow and wind. Our opening day is April 25, so it was almost now or never.
First gun, I was shooting a Model 870 Express® Shurshot Synthetic Turkey. It has a 21" barrel and is chambered for 3". The optics were a Bushnell red dot.
-the temperature was 36 F (0C), windy with wet snow falling,
-the barrel was deep cleaned, but it appears to have 2 pits in it and machine marks are visible,
-hits were counted in a 10" circle,
-hits were counted within the circle as it appeared on the target (cirlce was not optimized),
-the barrel was not cleaned beween shots,
-shots were taken off of a weighted Lead Sled fastened to a Workmate work bench (very stable),
-shotshells were 12 ga. 3" Supreme Elite Xtended Range HD Turkey #6 shot (heavier than lead).
Choke Tube: Indian Creek 0.665 Stainless Steel
Range: 40 yards
Hits: 89, 84, 113, 57
Due to weather and time of day (6PM-7:45PM), the gun was not cleaned between tubes.
Choke Tube: SSX
Range: 40 yards
Hits: 91, 83, 96
Thanks to Clark Bush for getting the SSX up to me. The old ponies were slow, but they made it! With this shell and gun, the SSX provided more consistent patterns and numbers.
Are these pellet count numbers high, low or medium?
The 96 pellet count was the 7th consecutive shot without cleaning the barrel. I know that this has a detrimental effect, but I don't know how much of an effect it has.
The second gun is a Browning Auto 5, 28" chambered for 2 3/4". It was deep cleaned and the bore was spotless. All parameters noted under 'first gun' apply except for the shotshells.
-shotshells were the Hevi 13 2 3/4" #6,
-optics were fibre optic open sights.
Choke Tube: [b]Gobble Stopper[/b] 0.643?? Clark??
Range: 40 yards
Hits: 114
The results with the Auto 5 were surprisingly good. I was running out of daylight and getting rather wet, so I stopped. I also had a whack of lead, copper plated high velocity, etc. that I wanted to test, but I ran out of time.
I really wanted to try the 3" Hevi 13s #6, but half of Canada is looking for them and they can't be found here. Maybe next year.

|The Rush and Apple Rivers are also good and not too far away. If you arw willing to drive a little farther Southeastern MN has some great rivers. Also NW Wisconsin has some nice liitle creeks. Just pick up the WI trout regs booklet or look it up online and it shows all of trou rivers in the state and which category they fall under.
|Fly Fisher Ed
|Thanks Juro. That website was exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait to get on the water. I missed all last season so will have to find an open space to get the casting arm back in shape and then it's off to the races
This state resource is a gold mine! Wish all states were this thorough...
let us know how you do.
Also I know some cheesehead spey guys who are damn good anglers from your area if you are interested in steelhead or salmon.
|Fly Fisher Ed
New to Wisconsin and fly fishing
Hi everyone. This is my first post and I'll start it off by saying I'm not looking for onyone's secret spot with this question.
I just moved to Prescott, WI from MN and hear talk about the small stream fly fishing opportunities in the area. I've only fly fished a few times in CO and WY and only have one Cut to my name.
Is there anyone on this forum familar with the WI/MN border trout streams that could point me in the right direction? I know of the Kinni, between Prescott and Hudson. I've also heard of Hay Creek in MN. How would either of these waters rate for a beginner? What other waters might be in the area to hit for trout? I'm not looking for anything huge or for the table, just for the camera
Thanks in advance for any info you can give.

Feldman shuts down Mets, Cubs win 5-2
Cubs win third straight
NEW YORK - Scott Feldman pitched seven innings of two-hit ball and drove in a pair of runs as visiting Chicago beat New York for the second consecutive day to run its winning streak to three games.
Starlin Castro added a two-run ground-rule double in the three-run eighth for the Cubs and Cody Ransom added a pair of hits and drew a bases-loaded walk.
Feldman (6-5) struck out six and allowed one run, retiring seven straight before Daniel Murphy and David Wright started the fourth with back-to-back doubles - the Mets' only hits against Feldman. Kevin Gregg pitched around a single and an error in a scoreless ninth for his ninth save.
Mets starter Jon Niese (3-6) allowed two runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out five and walked four but was able to work out of a couple of jams before Feldman's two-run single in the fourth.
Jordany Valdespin added an RBI single in the eighth for the Mets, but New York stranded two in scoring position when Murphy grounded out and Wright struck out against Carlos Villanueva. New York, which also left two men on in the ninth, has lost 10 of 12 overall.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Wright walked and doubled his first two times up and had reached safely in nine straight plate appearances before Cubs LF Alfonso Soriano made a nice play to retire him on a deep fly ball in the sixth. … The Cubs placed OF David DeJesus on the disabled list with a sprained right shoulder and activated RHP Shawn Camp. … The Mets have lost three straight series at home and are 13-23 at Citi Field overall and 1-6 on their current homestand.

Kenneth Marks
MADISON - Kenneth Marks, age 62, passed away on Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013, at UW Hospital. Ken was born in Lafayette, Indiana to James and Marilyn (Kaul) Marks. He grew up in Madison, the oldest of four boys, the Marks Brothers. Ken attended UW Madison and UW Milwaukee, earning a degree in Architecture, and worked for several architectural firms on the East Coast. He enjoyed living in large urban areas with their vibrancy, life and cultural opportunities. He lived in Milwaukee, Boston, Washington DC and New Jersey, returning to Madison in 2001 to work at Flad and Associates. He retired in 2008.
Ken was intelligent, sometimes outspoken, and proud to be a gay man. He was interested in many things, including his Scandinavian heritage. He did considerable research on his heritage and gathered valuable information for his family. Ken enjoyed travel, movies, opera, theater, stimulating conversation and good food. He lived with HIV and Hepatitis C for many years; a recent stroke coupled with his illnesses led to his passing. His approach to life and strength of will enabled him to survive his illnesses much longer than expected and allowed him to continue living in his home until the end.
Ken was preceded in death by his parents James and Marilyn; step-mother June; and partner Kenneth Hale Weiman. He is survived by his brothers, Jon, David (Kathy Cruice) and Robert; former sister-in-law Sue Marks; step-brother David (Carol) Belt; and nieces and nephews Greg, Kirsten, Justin and Lauren. He leaves behind many friends in Boston, Washington DC, New Jersey, Milwaukee, Madison and elsewhere.
Ken requested that any gathering in his memory be low key and celebratory in nature as a remembrance of the joy he had from life here and on the East Coast. Thus, his celebration will be held on Wednesday, February 20th, at CRESS FUNERAL HOME on Speedway Road in Madison. Visitation will be from 10:00 -11:00 AM, with a memorial service at 11:00 a.m., officiated by Pastor Pat Siegler. A light lunch will follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation or a charity of the donor's choice.

Semmy Schilt: The Best in the World
- Written by Dave Walsh
When you hear the term "best in the world" images might conjure up in your head of Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Anderson "Not Braddock" Silva and maybe even CM Punk, but it should remind you of Semmy Schilt. Semmy Schilt took what was his fifth major crown on December 31st in Tokyo, winning the first ever Glory World Series Grand Slam tournament, which is spiritually his fifth K-1 World Grand Prix title. That is, in a way, unheard of, and should place Semmy Schilt among some of the combat sports greats throughout history.
Semmy Schilt has found a way to completely dominate the field of a sport, being the most decorated Heavyweight (in his case Super Heavyweight) Kickboxer in history. Semmy has beaten a who's who of Kickboxing talent. Hell, last night alone he defeated Brice Guidon, Rico Verhoeven, Gokhan Saki and Daniel Ghita, and there were very few doubts throughout each fight of if he'd take the whole damn tournament, which in a field of fighters such as that, is really a big deal. He's run roughshod over the division for years now, with emphatic wins over those names plus Errol Zimmerman, Badr Hari, Remy Bonjasky, Jerome Le Banner, Peter Aerts, Ray Sefo and more.
It is time to say that Schilt has gone beyond being just the best in Kickboxing, but that his name belongs among some of the greats in Boxing and MMA as well as his accomplishments are incredible and that he is without a peer in Kickboxing. If he retired last year this would still be true, but this tournament win was just another layer of icing on the cake.

I think that John Hammond died in the second one, but I'm not to sure of that. In the Jurassic Park 1 book Hammond dies, but he could still be sick.
Thanks To Hango Fett/Jedi Tricks for the Avatar!
Jurassic Park is sort of a Brand Name, y'know? As long as they do decent Box Office, they'll crank out more.

OK everyone, make sure you have all of you belonings, as things tend to shuffle in a move
Dar' is no longer "Live in Orlando" . . . he may "Not be in Orlando" either . . .
You're slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.
Maybe if the next films focused on the dinosaurs actually getting off the island and taking over South America. That would be pretty cool.

They should make it like Gremlins 2, and have the Raptors drink genetic material and mutate. I can see it now, one of them gains the abilty to talk, with Tony Randel supplying the voice.

They ought to make one where humans actually fight the dinosaurs. Like, with weapons. At the end of JP3 I was so expecting the Marines to be gunning down raptors.
And in the first book, Hammond was a real jerk and was eaten by compys at the end.
JP III brought magic back to the series. I can't wait for IV, as long as it's good as III or I.
