• Born in Porto Alegre, Ronaldinho's first steps towards superstardom were taken at local club Grêmio, though it was his success with various Brazil selections, notably in 1999 at the Copa América (which he won) and the FIFA Confederations Cup (where he was the top scorer and best player), that particularly caught the eye.
• Joined PSG in 2001 and won the FIFA World Cup with Brazil the following year, scoring two goals in his five appearances.
• Moved to Barcelona in 2003, for €32.5m, and proved an immediate hit, scoring 15 league goals in his debut campaign, winning the Spanish title in his second and landing a brilliant UEFA Champions League/Liga double in his third.
• After helping Brazil win the 2005 Confederations Cup, he collected the Ballon d'Or that year and then confirmed his status as one of the finest performers of the decade by retaining the FIFA World Player of the Year award.
• Failed to live up to expectations during Brazil's World Cup defence in Germany but won the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year award after helping Barcelona lift the 2006 UEFA Champions League.
• Played as an over-age player for Brazil at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, winning a bronze medal, having previously played at the Sydney Games of 2000.
• Disappointed in his final two seasons at Barça before a summer 2008 switch to Milan, where, in his second campaign, with compatriot Leonardo as his coach, he hinted at a return to former glories by scoring 12 league goals.
• The arrival of Massimiliano Allegri in summer 2010, however, led to the Brazilian being increasingly sidelined due to strong competition for places up front; departed for his homeland and Flamengo in January after Milan strengthened their forward line with Antonio Cassano.

Question About Fondant Figures..
Decorating By thems_my_kids Updated 30 Jan 2012 , 1:29pm by LKing12
When placing a figure on a cake iced in buttercream, you should really have some gumpaste mixed in right? So it doesn't get soft from the buttercream and collapse?
The closer in contact with the buttercream that the figure is going to come the more necessary it is that the figure have been made with gumpaste (or Tylose, etc.) mixed in with the fondant. I made fondant accessories all the time for my cakes and have learned this lesson the hard way. If the figure is added right before display and a short time before cutting, then it is less of an issue. It takes a bit of time for the buttercream to break down and soften the fondant. In order to give my self a bit extra time with the item on the cake, I also try to make my fondant creations days ahead of time so that they have plenty of time to air dry and get harder. HTH
Thank you!! The reason I've been reluctant to get gumpaste was the rest usually hardens before I have a chance to use it, no matter how well I wrap it back up! I've wrapped it and vacuumed sealed it and it still dries out!
I have found that if I zap the left over fondant in the microwave for just a FEW seconds, or knead it in my hands in small quantities, it will come back to life.

A Lewisville man was killed after his motorcycle collided with another vehicle on U.S. Highway 380 on Sunday night
Andrew Floyd Garner, 59, was pronounced dead at Texas Health Presbyterian Denton on Sunday, said Troy Taylor, chief death investigator with the Denton County branch of Tarrant County's medical examiner's office.
Garner's Harley Davidson Sportster struck a 2003 Chevy Venture as it turned in front of the motorcycle, said Sgt. Lonny Haschel, a spokesman.
The van's driver, a 66-year-old man from Denton, was treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Garner was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, officials said. The exact cause of death is pending an autopsy, and the accident remains under investigation.

The family of Mexican-American music star Jenni Rivera has identified her remains from a plane crash Sunday in Mexico.
"We have received 100 percent confirmation that my sister Jenni is gone to be with the Lord," her brother Pedro Rivera Jr. said Thursday afternoon during a press conference at their mother's home in Lakewood. "She is in the presence of God now. They did show pictures to my brothers of the body; it is not the full body."
Three other brothers, Juan, Lupillo and Gustavo Rivera, were planning to travel Monday night to Mexico, the family said earlier this week.
"Now they are on their way back to LA to bring the body," Pedro Rivera Jr. said. "They've got the body. Just keep on praying with the family, keep on praying for the situation and the plans we have for the funeral services."
Sources said the remains are being flown in on a private plane expected to arrive at Long Beach Airport around 7:30 p.m. Thursday night.
Nuevo Leon state security spokesman Jorge Domene said DNA tests are still pending. The singer's remains will be given to the family once the tests are completed in coming days.
"They did show some pictures to where Juan said, 'That is my sister, I don't need to see anymore,'" Pedro Rivera Jr. said. "Gus saw them (and ) he said, 'That is my sister.' They didn't even have to wait for the DNA. They just said, 'This is my sister.'"
As the news spread Thursday, a crowd of 60 to 80 friends and fans gathered at the Lakewood home, where a memorial has grown this week.
Family friend Rogelio Macias said he had known Jenni Rivera since the late 1980 s. The 43-year-old Rivera was born and raised in Long Beach.
"I am very sad," Macias said about hearing the confirmation of Rivera's death. "I am in shock right now.
"It was very tragic, very different from a terminal illness."
Longtime fan Nadia Magallanes could hardly contain herself, as she spoke of the singer's death.
"I'm feeling great pain in my heart. I still can't believe it," she said, crying uncontrollably. "I understand what the family is going through. I lost my father five years ago."
She said the family should "continue to keep (their) faith in God and stay united."
Victor Alvarez, manager of Rivera's backup band, said he was with Rivera the night of her death.
"We were with her at the concert in Monterrey (Mexico)," he said. "We flew to LA and she flew to Mexico (City) and that's when the tragedy happened."
Mexican authorities say the plane went down early Sunday morning south of the northern city of Monterrey on its way to Toluca, a town near the Mexican capital in the center of the country.
It plunged almost vertically from more than 28,000 feet and hit the ground in a nose-dive at a speed that may have exceeded 600 miles per hour, Mexico's top transportation official said Tuesday.
Secretary of Communications and Transportation Gerardo Ruiz Esparza told Radio Formula that the twin-engine turbojet hit the ground 1.2 miles from where it began falling.
Although Ruiz did not offer any explanation of what may have caused the plane to plummet, he was quoted as saying only that "The plane fell from an altitude of 28,000 feet ... It may have hit a speed higher than 1,000 kph (621 mph)."
Ruiz said the pilot, Miguel Perez Soto, had a valid Mexican pilot's license that would have expired in January. Photos of a temporary pilot's certificate issued by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration found amid the wreckage said that Perez was 78 years old.
The transportation department said Wednesday that he was flying on a U.S. pilot's license that had no limitations preventing him from flying the route in Mexico.
Ruiz said there is no age limit for flying a civil aviation aircraft, though for commercial flights it's 65. A pilot as old as 78 would be unusual in the United States.
Officials also said Thursday that two state police officers had been arrested on suspicion of stealing unspecified items from the scene of the plane crash.
The Nuevo Leon state government said authorities found images of the scene on the smartphone of one of the officers, who is 23, while trying to determine how the Mexican media got photographs of the secured site, including images of body parts and personal documents.
Rivera, known as the "Diva de la Banda," died while her career was peaking. She was perhaps the most successful female singer in grupero, a male-dominated Mexico regional style, and had branched out into acting and reality television.
"She was always happy, she was very nice to a lot of people. A lot of people depended on her," Alvarez said. "Her music will be remembered forever because so many people followed her. She had a lot of fans."

Embraer launched the new E2 version of its E-Jets yesterday at the Paris Air Show with firm orders, purchase rights, options and letters of intent totaling 350 airplanes from seven customers.
U.S. regional airline SkyWest serves as the launch customer for the E175-E2 with a firm order for 100 and purchase rights for another 100. International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) signed an LOI covering firm orders for 25 E190-E2s and 25 E195-E2s, along with options on another 25 of each of the same models. Finally, Embraer announced letters of intent from five unidentified customers from Europe, South America, Africa and Asia covering orders for 65 more airplanes.
Speaking here yesterday, Embraer CEO Frederico Curado revealed that the company has committed $1.7 billion in company cash flow and funding from financial markets to the program, the launch of which AIN revealed in its opening day show edition. "There has been some debate over the past few years about what we were doing and what we were not doing," said Curado. "But our main business is commercial aircraft; that's what we're made of. It's in our DNA."
Scheduled for entry into service in the first half of 2018, the 97- to 114-passenger E190-E2 would serve as the baseline model and retain its current seating capacity. However, the second model scheduled for EIS—the E195-E2—would carry three more rows of four-abreast passenger seats than the current E195 holds, giving it a maximum high-density capacity of 144 passengers once it enters service in 2019. Finally, the smallest of the three models, the E175-E2, would enter service in 2020 and carry one more row of seats, raising its capacity range to 80 to 90 seats. Embraer has opted to exclude the 70-seat E170 from the project.
Curado said the extra capacity in the E175 and E195 would come from a fuselage stretch rather than simply a reconfiguration of the interiors. The E190 would keep the same airframe. While all three types would get new wings, the E190-E2 and E195-E2 would share one design while the E175-E2 gets its own. Fuel burn improvements over the current models include a 16-percent advantage for the E175-E2 and the E190-E2, while the E195-E2 shows a 23-percent gain. In fact, Embraer claims the E195 will deliver better seat mile costs than the substantially larger Airbus A320neo.

A SEASON that started in the blistering heat of Australia, and with a draining semi-final defeat to Novak Djokovic, came to a juddering halt for Andy Murray in the largely hostile atmosphere of the O2 Arena.
The defeat by Roger Federer in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals on Sunday night will not be allowed to colour a campaign that was splashed with bright, historic success. In the immediate aftermath of defeat by the 31-year-old Swiss player, Murray reflected that he would have "signed up" for his record this season without hesitation in January.
There was a suspicion that Murray was slightly bewildered by the reception in the O2, where Federer's fan club – comprising what seemed like the contents of a flotilla of Swiss Saga cruise ships and home-based Rogerites – clapped when the Scot's first serves hit the net, cheered his errors and whistled when he changed a racket in the tie-break. He was, though immediately focused on what he needs to do to build on a year that brought him Olympic gold and his first major championship, the US Open.
Loading article content
The first casualty of this drive will be the BBC Sports Personality of the Year ceremony on December 16. Murray will not travel back to London from his training base in Miami to attend the ceremony. "That period of the year for me is so, so important," he explained. "For all of the players, it is the same because we don't have breaks in the year like other sports do for two or three months at a time. Now I will have a week off to rest and go on holiday and then we need to start training again.
"The first tournaments of the year are in one of the hottest places you can play – in the middle of the Australian summer – and missing three or four days of training . . . if I were to get tired in the fifth set of a match in the final of the Australian Open and struggled physically for the last 10 or 15 minutes, who knows, those three days could make that little bit of difference."
Murray, of course, is a contender for the award that has a raft of candidates after an extraordinary summer of sport. "Who knows what will happen on the night," he said. "I don't know who would be expecting to win it. There are so many outstanding performers. Chris Hoy became our most successful Olympian, Bradley Wiggins, what he did, the Tour de France is one of the hardest physical sports by far. Then all the medallists at the Olympics. It is going to be hard to pick."
Murray's focus has shifted to what he needs to do to add to his grand slam victory. "Consistency, I think, is the next thing," he said of his priority. "I have to have that from the first tournament of the year through till the last one. My clay-court game needs to get better. I need to make some changes to the way I prepare for that part of the season. That would be it."
He is pleased with the level he can reach, knowing that when he is at his best he need not bow to anyone, certainly on grass and hardcourt. "When I have played good tennis this season, I have had very good results," he said. "There have just been a few too many times, especially at the beginning of the year, where my intensity was not where it needed to be and my focus in a couple of tournaments.
"I think because I had never won a grand slam, every time I lost in a slam I was almost straight away looking to the next one and not focusing on everything that was going on in between, so that is going to be very important for me next year."
Outside his stellar victories at London 2012 and Flushing Meadows, Murray's only other title was in Doha and he will be seeking to improve on that next season. He will do this without any sense of regret over a year that gave him such joy. It is difficult to appreciate just how much this young man put into winning a grand slam, how much the continual disappointment ate at his soul.
The victory over Djokovic in New York has opened up another world, full of possibilities. Murray is clearly more aggressive in shot-making and tactical selection. The recruitment of Ivan Lendl has been an unqualified success. The Scot now has a coach in his corner who knows precisely the difficulties and stresses that are part of playing at the sharp end of grand slams.
There have been, too, significant improvements in the 25-year-old's forehand and second serve. The first serve, when on target, is increasingly becoming a formidable weapon with Murray forcing them up to speeds of 136mph in the O2.
The story of 2012 is that Federer, the extraordinary athlete and champion, has not gone away and that Djokovic is still lean and mean despite his spate of grand slam success. But Murray has forced him into that narrative. He can look back in satisfaction even as he peers forward in hope.

Yum, but what about Project Natal?
This looks amazing but I wonder how it will compare with Xbox Project Natal which doesn't require anything to be held by the user whatsoever.
I guess the PS3 can measure distance/depth because of the varying size of the glowing ball at the end of the motion controller. So it's definately not an aesthetic decision, it's critical to guaging depth.
Both MS and Sony's projects are yummy and I can't wait to try them. I'm so pleased I didn't buy a Wii, would rather spend that money on the new hardware for my PS3 or Xbox.
Bring it on! :-)

The competition regulator has lost another misuse of market power case, raising the odds of changes to the law that pits big businesses against small.
Federal Court Justice Peter Greenwood on Tuesday found that
The ACCC alleged Cement Australia had no commercial need for the fly ash and did the deal to prevent other companies from entering the market.
The ACCC still managed to win the case by proving that Cement Australia and the power station had entered into anti-competitive agreements. But its failure to prove Cement Australia had misused market power will increase the push by small business groups for the law to be changed. One of the first priorities of the Abbott government is to set up a root and branch review of the Competition and Consumer Act, with misuse of market power a key focus.
Bob Baxt of law firm Herbert Smith Freehills said because the judge had yet to release the reasons for the judgment – which run to over 500 pages – it was impossible to know how much weight should be given to the ACCC's partial win. "It was always clear that the ACCC were putting considerable emphasis on the potential success of its section 46 claim. The ACCC will be very disappointed with its failure to succeed on those grounds," he said.
Section 46 prevents companies with market power from using that power to harm competition and, since the High Court's 2003 Boral case, it has been extremely hard for the competition regulator to prove a breach of the law.
The case involving Cement Group was one of two that ACCC chairman
A spokesperson for the ACCC declined to comment on the case due to the decisions not yet being made public.

When I moved to my new job, I decided on getting a house instead of another apt. I moved into a nice neighborhood about 10 minutes from work. Day 1, the two women living next door came over to welcome me to the neighborhood and brought over a couple of things for me to eat since the movers were busy unloading. Later I took the dishes back to the ladies next door and they invited me in for "dessert". I've been here now 2 years and the 3 of us get together often.

Is this the anti obama group?
I am an Obama supporter. But I will warn you ahead of time, get ready for a bashing. There are some very vocal women here who have little facts but plenty of snark and ignorance.
Nah. Anti-Madcow. LOL
Welcome to the group. Blues will hold your hand.
There are plenty. So what was it about Obama that you liked? Massive unemployment? Losing your constitutional freedoms?
No, there are a few Obama supporters here. But I think the majority here are Republican, and a few independents. That I have noticed anyway.
Be prepared for the bashing! You may be called, dumb, stupid, anti-christ, ignorant, etc... You may also be accused of being lazy and living off welfare. Even if you have a job. The punishment for the hideous crime of not agreeing with someone else's views. LOL
See I knew that they would show up! It was only a matter of time.
Just nod your head and slowly back away. Really it isn't worth your time or your effort. I should know. I have tried very hard to prove that with as much junk they pull up a lib can pull up just as much on their side. I have tried to prove to them that the only way for this country to get out of this mess is to work together. I have tried to prove to them that labeling and making stereotypes is not at all supported by fact.
But soon, they will pull out the meme's, bad signature blocks and extremely right wing based news and shout, "see!see! we are right and you are wrong, nah nah nah nah nah!".
You are not alone. The wackos are just louder then us is all.
Try Current Events, lots of loud Liberals in there....
LMFAO It has already started!

Blacksmith's Tongs
- These short tongs were used by a blacksmith during the Late Iron Age (200BC-AD50).
- Other items used by a blacksmith and found at Llyn Cerrig Bach are a pair of long tongs and iron bars. These bars are the raw iron, which the blacksmith worked into artefacts. The iron bars were used as objects for trade.
- The Llyn Cerrig Bach assemblage makes an important contribution to our understanding of iron smithing techniques. Work in the future may reveal more about the role and use of iron, the skills involved, where the iron came from and how blacksmiths were organised within society.
- The blacksmith's tongs are 211mm in length and weigh 106.2g.

Green smiley faces for Nelson, Martinez on climate bill
Environment Florida lauded Florida's U.S. senators, Democrat Bill Nelson and Republican Mel Martinez, for voting today to advance a climate change bill that would limit carbon dioxide emissions in hopes of slowing global warming.
Despite the support of a majority of senators, Republicans ensured it lacked the votes to get past a procedural hurdle.
The vote was especially striking for Martinez, who bucked President Bush and the Senate Republican leadership to support advancing the bill.
"Climate change is the most important environmental issue of our generation," Martinez said in a statement. "I voted to move this issue forward in Congress because Florida is uniquely vulnerable to the threats of rising sea levels and intensified hurricanes that could result if carbon emissions continue to go unchecked."
But he also made clear that he saw the legislation as a starting point, not the end game, and said "serious serious modifications to this bill are necessary" for it to pass.
"Without substantial investment in and advancement of nuclear and other clean energy technologies, 30years from now we will be facing increased pollution levels, experiencing substantially higher utility rates, and decades behind finding our own energy independence," Martinez said.

BOGACZYK: Seahawks Make Scott's `Dream' Come True
May 10, 2014
By JACK BOGACZYK
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Two of the 32 NFL teams that sent personnel people to Huntington this spring put Garrett Scott through private workouts.
One of those teams drafted the former Marshall offensive tackle Saturday ... the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.
At 4:45 p.m., Scott's name appeared as the 199th pick in the 79th NFL Draft, a sixth-round selection for a 6-foot-5, 307-pounder that many experts were projecting as a seventh-rounder at best, or perhaps a post-draft free agent signee.
Scott's selection came just a few hours after he received his MU undergraduate degree in commencement ceremonies at Big Sandy Superstore Arena, with his parents, Rev. Randolph and Tina Scott, in attendance.
The Douglas, Ga., native became the 39th player in Marshall history picked in an NFL Draft. The first was Everette "Boot" Elkins, a back selected in the 17th round in 1939 by the Chicago Cardinals. One round later, guard Frank Huffman went to the same club.
The first NFL Draft was held in 1936.
Scott, an All-Conference USA second team selection in 2013, was the 23rd pick in the sixth round. The Seahawks acquired the pick from Cincinnati for trading back from the 11th pick to the 23rd pick in the fourth round.
Scott said Saturday evening that he got the call notifying him of his selection from Seattle General Manager John Schneider. He later spoke with Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll, and his whirlwind continues Sunday when he travels Huntington to Seattle for meetings to begin his "new" football life.
"It's a dream come true, definitely," Scott said. "Graduation, the NFL Draft, and tomorrow is Mother's Day. It doesn't get any better than that. It's all special. I've had a dream of playing in the NFL since I was a little kid. It's a great day."
Scott said he will always appreciate playing for the Thundering Herd, a situation that provided him the chance to reach his dream.
"I came to Marshall and worked hard and got an opportunity," he said. "What this shows is you can accomplish anything you want, no matter where you are, when you put your mind to it and put forward the work. I'm proud to be another guy taking the Marshall name on to the NFL."
Scott said that in his personal workout for the Seahawks, "I honestly didn't think I had a great day. I thought I did OK. But I guess they must have seen something they liked, and I'm glad they did."
Seattle lost right tackle Breno Giacomini and guard/tackle Paul McQuistan via free agency, so the offensive line was viewed by many as a unit the Seahawks would try to restock through the draft.
Scott selection marks the fourth straight year Marshall Coach Doc Holliday's program has had an NFL Draft pick, following tight end Lee Smith, defensive end Vinny Curry and wide receiver Aaron Dobson from 2011-13).
Scott is the 18th Marshall player selected in an NFL Draft since 1998, when wideout Randy Moss and offensive lineman John Wade were selected. Scott is only the second Herd offensive lineman drafted since Wade was picked, joining Steve Sciullo in 2003.
Besides his MU campus workouts for Seattle and San Diego, Scott made five team visits, to Cincinnati, Oakland, Kansas City, Miami and Tampa Bay. He said before the draft that of the seven clubs with which he'd had the most contact, the Bengals were in touch most often.
He played more than 1,000 offensive snaps for the Herd in a 2013 season that ended with a 10-4 record and a Military Bowl victory over Maryland. He allowed only one-half sack and graded out at 99 percent (assignment) and 82 percent (success).
Scott said he built his draft profile with confidence instilled him by the Alex Mirabal, the offensive line coach who joined Holliday's staff in January 2013.
"Coach Mirabal pretty much told me just to work and it would work out for me," Scott said. "He said, `There's nothing you can't do,' and that's how I approached it"
Scott said NFL personnel staffers told him they liked his athleticism and versatility, and "that I could fit at tackle or guard."
He made 35 career starts for the Herd, and in his senior season moved from right to left tackle at midseason.
"Garrett's a tremendous athlete and that shows on film," Mirabal said Saturday evening, adding that Scott's Pro Day performance in mid-March at MU was a salesman's dream for the Herd alumnus. "He has a great work ethic, and with his season, he had the film to show that.
"On our Pro Day here, his broad jump and vertical jump were tremendous and teams went back and watched film and saw that. The Seahawks and Chargers came back here and worked him out, and when you talk to him, get to know him, it's obvious he's a first-class human being.
Scott ran a 5.04 in the 40 at MU's Pro Day and had a 33.5-inch vertical leap.
"The league is big on character these days," said Mirabal. "As you know, Garrett is a class guy. The Seahawks obviously liked him, and what they saw paid off for him.
"I'm doubly proud, too. One of my former linemen at FIU (Mirabal's previous job), Caylin Hauptmann, signed last year as a rookie free agent with Seattle and got a Super Bowl ring.
"I've already called Caylin and told him to watch out for Garrett and help him out any way he can."
Note: The first NFL Draft was held in 1936.

It's really all I've wanted to do and I can honestly say I'm living my dream. I really can't think of anything else I'd rather do. —Landen Powell
TOOELE — At 4 years old — an age when most kids are struggling to take off the training wheels on their bikes — South Jordan's Landen Powell was already racing motorbikes.
Not simply riding, mind you, but participating in actual motorbike races.
Eighteen years later, he's doing the same thing as a professional racer in the Lucas Oil Motocross Championship circuit.
"It's really all I've wanted to do and I can honestly say I'm living my dream," Powell said. "I really can't think of anything else I'd rather do."
Living Powell's dream involves a grueling travel schedule around the country that winds up at the Miller Motorsports Park for this Saturday's final Motocross Championship event.
As could well be imagined, it's a great place for Powell to finish off another season.
"This event is obviously big for me because I'll have a chance to race in front of my family and friends," he said. "It's obviously the last event, so you want to do well for that reason, but having it in my home state makes it mean even more."
Racing motorbikes has meant a lot to Powell since he can remember having a thought. While most young children are intent on peddling their own bikes, the South Jordan native had other things in mind.
"To me, learning to ride without training wheels was so I could ride a dirt bike, not a regular bike," Powell said. "So I probably practiced at it harder than other kids because just riding around on the street isn't what I had in mind."
According to Powell, he comes from a racing family that both trained and encouraged him to be what he is today. Throughout his life he participated in other sports, but always returned the sport of motocross.
"I played football in high school until I decided it just wasn't that fun for me anymore," Powell said. "It was then that I decided to pursue racing full time when I was 17 years old, which is a lot older than most of the guys out here, but it's what I love."
Being a professional motocross racer isn't as easy as it may appear. According to Powell, it involves much more than simply sitting on a bike and going as fast as possible.
"It involves a lot of training, a lot of eating the right things, and probably even more training than most sports," he said. "It's definitely a full-time thing and no, you don't just show up and race. You practice all the time, work out all the time — it takes a lot of dedication."
This Saturday Powell will be racing in the 250 class, and he hopes to finish the season strong.
"This is my favorite race of the year and doing well in front of so many friends and family is really what it's all about," he said.
Headlining this weekend's races is the 450 class, which features Germany's Ken Roczen, who leads in season points (494), and his KTM teammate Ryan Dungey, who trails by just 20 points.
"It would obviously mean everything for me to win here and to win the season championship," Roczen said. "You try not to think about it too much — think about everything that is on the line and not be too careful."
For Dungey, he has largely the same goals as Roczen.
"It's a real exciting race coming up after a real hard-fought season," Dungey said. "Winning the season championship is achievable and it's going to be tough catching Ken, but it's there and we're going to do our best out there."

Reorganization in store for Pasco school admin
The dominoes have started falling in what looks to be a far-reaching reorganization of Pasco County's school administration. The Gulf High student newspaper has reported that Tom Imerson (left) is out as Gulf High School's principal, and that he's moving to the district administration.
Assistant superintendent Jim Davis told the Gradebook that the details remain in flux, but that several people will be involved as superintendent Heather Fiorentino and her top deputies reevaluate "how we do our business."
"I don't want to get into specifics because there hasn't been all decisions made," Davis said, declining to talk about Imerson's next job or other aspects of the reorganization. "Obviously, it entails other people. ... Like anything else, we you make a move, another move follows. Those decisions are still down the road."
See tomorrow's St. Petersburg Times or tampabay.com for more details.

Dear Dad,
Today is August 5th, 2012. You died nine years ago. Funny, it seems like it was yesterday, and also a lifetime ago.
For a long time that evening stayed in my head. The balmy California dusk, the palm trees outside your bedroom window and the sound of kids splashing in the complex pool, after you had taken your last breaths and I was alone in the world.
But that was nine years ago, and now here I sit, in my office in Beverly Hills on a sunny, Sunday afternoon, 34 years old with a husband and two children at home. Part of me wants to implore, "Can you believe it, dad? I'm a mom? A wife? I made it past your death? Can you believe it?" But of course you would believe it.
Those are the very things – children, a family to call my own — that I'm sure you hoped for me. Those are the things I think you felt certain I would find, no matter how far I fell after you died. I hope that I have the same confidence in my girls one day, that no matter what happens to me, that they'll survive. That they'll thrive. I think some part of me knows that already. I mean it's what we all do, isn't it? We survive.
I wish you were here to meet my daughters, dad. You would love them so much. They both remind me of you in such strange ways sometimes. Something about their eyes, their determination to live and breathe and be part of this life. And not just that, but their determination to enjoy this life, to find mirth and delight and mischief and wonder in it all. That's what you were best at, dad. Even when you were weighed down by life it seemed like all you had to do was pause, take a breath and some kind of light would find its way back to your eyes, a smile there, even if it wasn't on your lips.
I miss you so much, Dad. And sometimes for the silliest things. This morning I was rummaging through the toolbox and I saw a spool of shower tape and remembered the afternoon you instructed me, weak from bed, on how to install a new showerhead. I'd wanted to skip the part with the shower tape – it seemed overly dramatic to have to wind that flimsy tape around the base before screwing on the nozzle – but you shook your head and stared me down and I finally retreated to the bathroom to do as you had told.
A few months later, living on my own for the first time I had to do it again. This time I skipped the tape, that seemingly unnecessary step, and when the water sprayed down the room proving that you had been right, I sighed and began again, winding the soft blue tape around the base, just like you'd said had to be done. And I smiled, glad to have had you teach me that, but sad too that there would so much more I would never learn from you.
I watch my daughters with their dad now and think about the kind of relationship they'll have with him, about the way they'll revere him and sometimes loathe him too, just as I did with you. Mostly I revered you, loved you. Still do. There have been times in the last year in which I wept, really wishing I could call you. Feeling confused and overwhelmed by life and all that has presented itself, wishing so much I could hear your kind and gentle voice talking me down from the ledge upon which I teetered, knowing you'd have some advice and soothing words to turn whatever felt big into something smaller. I have no doubt that Greg will be able to do that for our girls time and time again in their lives. Such is the art of fathers, I think. Turning what is large into something smaller, something softer and less scary, something we can handle.
I miss that in my life so much now. Just someone bigger and wiser and stronger than me, someone to tell me that these years will unfurl whether I want them to or not, that whatever is true now, will change and be both less true and even truer later. That whatever scary thing has awoken me from sleep or set me to crying on a Tuesday morning, won't be the thing that takes away the light at the end of the day.
Nine years ago today I held your hand as you took your last breath. I'd been so determined to be there with you as you left this world, dad. It seemed like the smallest thing to be able to give in return for all that you had given to me, but it was all I had. I know it will always be one of the things I've worked hardest at in this life – being there in that moment – but it will always be one of the things I am most glad I was able to do.
With unending love,

Really beautiful, Claire. Loved the shower tape. =) Reminded me of something Ken would have taught me. xoxo
Reading this with tears streaming down my face. You put into words what is in my heart. I lost my Dad on 4/23/12 and I miss him so very much. There are so many instances when I think to myself, I will have to call my Dad about this or that and then I remember. I always felt like whatever happened in my life, I'd be okay as long as I had my Dad. He always seemed to have the right answer or the ability to put things into perspective. Losing him makes me feel so much more vulnerable as if my safety net has just disappeared. Your story give me hope and something that I can identify with. Thank you for sharing what is in your heart.
Beautiful. Keeping you in my thoughts.
Love you, darling! Such a beautiful post…:))) xoxoxo
It is amazing how you can you put grief in words. It's magical.
I lost my father 10 years ago. This piece reminded me of how I tried to stay still, not even blink, on the ride back from work to home after I got the news, thinking that doing so will somehow, magically, bring him back. Ironically, I had the money for the funeral in my purse.
Beautifully written and so true. It isn't until we age, I feel, that we understand our fathers' important place in our lives. My father died in 1995 and I have so much more wisdom about what it means to have a father now that I don't have one but also, in looking back at the memories big and small. (Like the shower tape, I carry my dad's "driving rules" that he taught me at the age of 16.)
This is so thoughtful and touching. Your dad sounds like an absolutely wonderful person. And I'm sure that 'proud' doesn't even begin to describe how he felt to have you as a daughter. Thank you for sharing this lovely letter.
Grateful to you, as ever, Claire. Thank you for expressing such tender, deeply held feelings. Being there with your dad when he took his last breaths surely was a gift of immeasurable love. May that love continue to comfort you.
Thank you for sharing your father with us.

Newbie Question : is the proper stacking order :cake base, cake board, wax paper, cake , dowels, wax paper, cakeboard, wax paper, cake , and so on .. I guess my real question is: am I suppose to put wax paper on top and under the cake board??
Oh and when do you use cake separating plates instead of cake boards? Thanks in advance!
I don't put wax paper anywhere in the cake.
I start by putting icing on the cake base. Then I take the bottom tier with the cake board attached and stick it in the icing on the cake base. Basically there is icing on both side of the cake board. Let's pretend this is a 10" cake.
Next, I put icing on top of the 10" cake. Then I put the cake glued with icing to the cakeboard, on top of the icing (which is sitting on top of the 10" cake).
I just repeat this over and over.
You always use the cake boards. It's just instead of gluing the cake board to the cake, you glue the cake board to the separating plates. And then the pillars will push into the cake as well.
I hope this makes sense.
yes , thank you ... I have heard of putting wax paper on the cake board and underneath .. I didnt know if I was doing it wrong all this time or if thats a better technique??? Thank you for your respond
I don't know, because I have never done it like that. My method just kind of works for me. Maybe someone else on CC can tell you what they do too.
Maybe try it with and without and see what works best for you. My only thought is that the wax paper might make the cake more slippery. And you definitely don't want your cake sliding around. Just a thought.
P.S. Welcome to Cake Central (CC).
Thank you again
I put wax paper top and bottom of the cardboard.. The reason for this is, so the cardboard doesnt soak the grease from the buttercream. That wet cardboard can ,ake your cake unstable..
Edna, I always value your advice. Even if you use "waxed" cake boards???? Thanks, Chantelle
Make sure they are wax both sides!
Thanks, I would have never known. BTW, you're cake in ACM and posted here is amazing!!!!! So is the one on your latest blog spot!!! You ROCK!!!!! Chantelle
Great thread!!! I need to know this
Well, I've never used waxed paper like that and really think it would be annoying when cutting the cake, unless it was taped down to the board securely. Of course as we all know I only use SPS to stack cakes. The cake cardboard sits on top of the SPS plate, so no instability happens.
I have no choice.. I dont run a shop, so I work with what is available. I think if I tell my boss go buy SPS she would have a fit!..lol
The wax paper we glue with a glue gun. Is stays glued pretty well. Tape wouldn't work..
Thank you thank you , for all your response. Very helpful!
Thanks, I would have never known. BTW, you're cake in ACM and posted here is amazing!!!!! So is the one on your latest blog spot!!! You ROCK!!!!! Chantelle
What's ACM? I love looking at Edna's cakes - they are always so beautiful
I use foamcore - comes in two main thicknesses. Works great! The best idea that I ever got on here was to use carpet tape on the covered base board (again I use a larger thickness of foamcore) and then place your bottom cake (with the hidden thinner cake board) on top of it. No sliding. I love dowels. Buy yourself a pencil sharpener and a hammer (I use to use a meat mallet)...it sure helps to get the main dowel that will go through all tiers (with their hidden foamcore boards and into the "covered base board" with ease.
Nothing is ever needed back from the client either.
I have covered my cake boards with contact paper in the past and it worked very well. It prevents the cardboard from soaking in the grease and it makes the board very strong.

LUCASVILLE – After 18 years of waiting, Carol Lutz's family said today that justice was finally served on the man who killer her.
Speaking after Daniel Wilson's execution earlier today, Lutz's mother, Martha Lutz said that Wilson's death brings some closure.
"Today has ended a very long and very hard road for this family," she said.
Wilson took holidays and other special times from them when he killed Carol Lutz, Martha Lutz said.
"He took it away like it was nothing," she said.
Jerry Lutz, Carol Lutz's father, he had waited a long time for Wilson to pay for what he did to his daughter.
"I think my daughter will finally rest in peace," he said.
After Lutz's family spoke, Father Neil Kookoothe, Wilson's spiritual adviser, said Wilson was genuinely sorry for killing Lutz in 1991 by locking her in the trunk of her caring and setting it on fire.
But Kookoothe, who watched Wilson's execution, also criticized the state for executing Wilson, saying it accomplished nothing.
"This situation began with death and it ends with death," he said. "…Nothing good comes of this."

New Delhi, June 17 (ANI): As the Congress Party gears up for the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on Monday inducted eight new faces in the Council of Ministers.
Oscar Fernandes, Sis Ram Ola, Girija Vyas and K.S. Rao were given the Cabinet rank at a swearing-in-ceremony held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan here.
Oscar Fernandes has been appointed the Minister for Road and Highways; Sis Ram Ola, a prominent Jat leader, was inducted in the Union Cabinet as Labour and Employment Minister; Girija Vyas took over as Housing, Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation Minister and K.S. Rao took over as the Textiles Minister.
The UPA Government also named four new Ministers of State.
Manikrao Gavit took over as Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Santosh Chowdhury was sworn-in as the Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare, J.D. Seelam took over as Minister of State for Finance and E N S Nachiappan took over as Minister of State for Commerce and Industry.
The reshuffle-cum-expansion took place to fill several vacancies in the Union Cabinet. These vacancies were created following the resignation of Ajay Maken, CP Joshi, PK Bansal, Ashwini Kumar and Ministers belonging to the DMK. Maken and Joshi quit the Union Cabinet on Saturday night to work for the Congress Party.
Joshi, who was holding dual portfolios of Surface Transport and Highways and Railways, resigned following 'directives' from the Congress High Command.
Maken, who was Minister for Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation, has expressed his desire to work for the party.
Bansal quit as the Railways Minister last month in the wake of bribery scandal involving his nephew and a Railway Board member.
Ashwini Kumar resigned as the Law Minister following a controversy over vetting of a CBI probe report on coal blocks allocation scam.
The Railway portfolio was given to Joshi as an additional charge while that of Law went to Telecom Minister Kapil Sibal also as an additional ministry.
The names of Ministers to take charge of Railways and Sports are yet to be announced. Monday's reshuffle of the Council of Ministers was projected as the last one in UPA-II with Lok Sabha elections less than a year away. This is the second reshuffle since October last year.
Vice President Mohammad Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi were among those present on the occasion.
The reshuffle in Union Cabinet comes a day after the Congress Working Committee was reconstituted.
Ajay Maken, CP Joshi, Ambika Soni and Gurudas Kamat were brought in as General Secretaries of the party yesterday. (ANI)

TEL AVIV (May. 19)
Nearly two-thirds of Israelis believe Israel should demand the extradition of all suspected Nazi war criminals, according to an opinion poll by the Modi'in Ezrachi organization published in Maariv Monday.
The poll, taken among 1,236 adults, posed the question should Israel demand the extradition of war criminals of the rank of John Demjanjuk, the alleged Treblinka death camp guard currently on trial in Jerusalem. A majority of 64.9 percent believed that any war criminal about whom there is information to generate suspicion should be extradited to Israel.
Among the other respondents, 21.8 percent thought that only war criminals whose identity has been established beyond doubt should be subject to extradition; 8.1 percent believed Israel should not ask for the extradition of suspects of Demjanjuk's rank; and 5.2 percent had no opinion.

If you are a videographer who is looking to stock up on blank media, deciding which kind of media to choose is important. Here, we will take a look at some of the more widely-used types.
You need blank media. Your camcorder needs blank media. Without blank media, you simply cannot shoot. Blank media can also be used to transport your video from your camera to your computer or another compatible electronic device, such as an mp3 player or even your television set. It can be a way to get your video or other data from point A to point B. Here is a primer on what blank media is and where you'd use it.
If you are a videographer who is looking to stock up on blank media for your next shoot, deciding which kind of media to choose is important. Here, we will take a look at some of the more widely-used types of blank media on the market and try to answer the questions you need to ask yourself before you decide what kind of media you should buy and which is the right one for you.
Why You Need Blank Media
In order to record video and/or audio, you almost always need some type of blank media. It is in the media where your recording is stored. After you finish shooting your project, you can use the media to transfer your video someplace else, be it to another device or even to another person. Sometimes, depending on the form of media, you can even carry it around in your pocket, as in the case of Flash memory cards.
The scenario is this: you grab your camcorder and record some spectacular moment in time onto the blank media attached to the camera. Now, you want to share this spectacular moment with your friends. You detach the media from the camera and attach it to or insert it into another electronic device, usually a computer. Then you transfer or digitize the video that is on the media to the computer. Here you can edit, play or do whatever you want with your video. You do need to keep an eye on how much room you have left in your media storage. If you are planning to record another event in the near future, you need to make sure there is enough room for it in the media. If not, you will need to erase what is already on there in order to make room, or plan on purchasing more blank media.
What Kind of Blank Media Do You Need?
That depends on several factors: what are you going to do with your recording? What kind of camera are you using? What kind of format is your data?
As a video producer, you are probably going to shoot something with your camera that you will want to edit later on your computer. The type of blank media you will use will depend largely on the kind of camera you are using. Based on these factors, the following are a few of the most widely-used blank media.
Hard Drives
Some video cameras come with a built-in hard drive, so you don't even need to buy blank media. You simply grab your camera and start shooting. After the shoot, you plug the camera to your computer, then drag and drop your video straight to your PC or Mac hard drive. The whole process takes you less than 10 minutes. The only thing you will need to worry about is whether or not you have enough space in the camera's hard drive for your next video shoot. At $1,000, the Canon HG10 camcorder has a 40GB hard drive that can store between 5.5 hours of video at 15Mbps to as much as 15 hours of video at 5Mbps, depending on the resolution you shoot it in.
Memory Cards
A memory card, a type of removable Flash memory, is media that can be electronically erased and reprogrammed. It is a technology primarily used as storage or to transfer data between computers and other digital gadgets. A small removable storage device, it is a common source of blank media for camcorders.
The SD card and miniSD cards are the most widely used. Because of their affordability, amateur and intermediate videographers use them often. SD memory cards are available in standard and high-capacity (SDHC) formats, along with a variety of speed classes. Standard cards can not exceed 2GB, while SDHC caps outs at 32GB. SD cards are interchangeable; miniSD cards can be put into SD card adaptors and used as SD cards. SDHC cards can store from 4GB to 32GB of data, with data-writing speeds of 2, 4 and 6MB per second. SanDisk has developed a memory card optimized for just for video. At $98, the 16GB SanDisk Ultra SDHC memory card can store up to four hours of high-definition video, depending on the quality settings, with a read speed of 20MB per second.
Additionally, many professional, high-end camcorders use the memory card format to store media. However, these types of memory cards have a much more sophisticated and expensive price tag than the standard memory cards. High-budget productions are now using professional camcorders with P2 or SxS cards. These cards use multiple Flash memory devices that allow access at higher speeds, for much higher video quality. At under $5,000, the Panasonic AG-HPX170 is an ultra-mobile P2 HD handheld camcorder featuring full, 4:2:2 independent frame production quality HD and solid-state recording. After the shoot, the videographer will insert the P2 card into a PCMCIA slot on the computer or use a PCMCIA card reader and simply download the video from the card, where he or she can then begin to edit it. These high-end video cameras provide outstanding video quality.
DVD Discs
Some camcorders use 8cm DVD discs for blank media storage. This is a disc-like storage option that you just insert into your camera, as you would a tape.
The DVD blank media storage is the choice for those people who want simplicity. One convenience is clip access; that is, rather than the fast-forwarding/rewinding of tape, you can access any shot instantly like memory cards. Another convenience is that you can pop the DVD right out of the camera and into any DVD player for playback. This type of convenience made this form of blank media very popular at the beginning, but there are good and bad aspects with this type of media storage. The good is that you can see the output of a DVD recorded in your camera. However, the disadvantage is that these cameras tend to be the biggest and bulkiest on the market.
At HQ, SP and LP recording qualities, it takes 20, 30 and 60 minutes, respectively, to fill a single disc.
The Sony DCR-DVD650 at $300 and the Samsung DX 205 at $280 are just two camcorders on the market today that use DVD blank media. A five-pack of 8cm DVD-R, with 30 minutes (1.4GB) of recordable blank media can cost you as little as $10.
The DVD recording format has a lot of advantages, but it is slowly being phased out of the market by cheap Flash memory. Although DVD is being phased out of the camcorder market, it holds its ground for archival purposes and is still the preferred choice for distribution.
Disc quality is a major concern when archiving your project onto a DVD. A good-quality disk doesn't necessarily mean buying brand name or the most expensive products that you can find. Instead, it is helpful to know what commonly breaks down on discs over time and what can help protect them from the elements. DVD discs usually break down due to the harmful effects of ultraviolet light, heat and humidity. As a result, and because no environment is perfect, it is a good idea to buy discs with highly-protective coating and surfaces made of higher-grade metals such as gold, which can better resist oxidation. In this way you can make archival discs that last for decades rather than years.
Videotape is probably the oldest type of blank media around. There are many variations of videotape from which to choose. A few years ago, S-VHS, VHS-C and Hi8 were the media of choice. Today, MiniDV tapes are more commonly used. On a professional level, some television stations still use the reliable but bulky Beta analog tape format, as well as DVC-Pro tapes for digital cameras. However, most independent videographers will opt for the Mini DV blank media tapes because of their superior quality and ease of use. They are available in lengths of 30 and 60 minutes. Recording in LP mode lets you extend total recording time of a 60-minute tape to 90 minutes.
Mini DV tapes are also affordable, depending on the quality and brand you purchase. Be ready to spend anywhere from $6 to $26 for a two-pack. The reason for the price difference in tapes is due to the thickness of tape, tape length and level or retentiveness. Higher-grade DV tape will tend to be thicker, which leads to fewer wrinkles, and will have a finer metal grain on the tape surface, which leads to less head wear in your camera over time.
The Bottom Line
There was a time when we didn't really have much choice when it came to blank media. It was either tape or nothing. Today, we have many choices. The bottom line is, whatever kind of blank media you choose, be it tapes, discs, memory cards or hard drives, it has to be the one that is going to give you the most from your video production. Choose the blank media that best suits your needs and caters to your workflow. Keep in mind the one thing we do know: cheap media doesn't necessarily mean cheap quality.

ONE year on from scooping £1 million, Runcorn EuroMillions winner Kelly Caldwell had the wedding of her dreams.
The 31-year-old tied the knot with her childhood sweetheart Jason Massey, aged 41, at Willington Hall in Tarporley.
The former cabin crew member said: "I always dreamed of having a lavish wedding at an amazing venue in the heart of the Cheshire countryside. This is something which I had, however, ruled out as I thought we would never be able to afford it.
"Prior to winning the lottery Jason and I were still sharing a house with my mum.
"The timing of the win was perfect. We were able to go on holiday to let the news sink in and then start planning for the wedding of my dreams.
"One year on I have tied the knot with the man of my dreams, in my dream wedding dress and at my dream venue."
Kelly wore a white dress which was specially made for her and covered in Swarovski crystals.

Less money is available for road and bridge projects in the state Department of Transportation's District 12, which includes Washington County.
A transportation plan recently presented by Gov. Thomas Corbett calls for the eventual removal of the cap on the gas company franchise tax, making more money available for road construction projects.
The cap has been at $1.25 a gallon since the 1990s, Joseph Szczur, district executive, told municipal and county officials during the annual District 12 outreach program Thursday. The cap gradually would be lifted by thirds in the first, third and fifth year of the five-year plan.
"That is the basic foundation behind getting the revenue we have to invest in our infrastructure under his transportation plan," Szczur said. "With new funding, we could turn the corner on the number of contracts we are letting. Without, the annual contract letting would drop."
Money available for local projects would go from $70 million to $200 million over the five years of the plan.
Szczur said Pennsylvania leads the nation in the number of bridges designated as structurally deficient, and the most are in District 12.
"We need new funding to decrease the number of structurally deficient bridges," Szczur added.
In recent years, 70 percent of the construction money available went to bridges, said Rachel Duda, assistant district executive for design.
"Now we will be spending an equal amount on bridges and roads," Duda told the group. "Being designated as structurally deficient doesn't mean the bridge is unsafe. It just means a major component is in need of repair."
Of the 774 bridges PennDOT maintains in Washington County, 79 are considered structurally deficient, Duda added. The district has been chosen for a pilot program that will rehabilitate 18 local bridges.
Some road projects will be resuming in the next few weeks, while some never really stopped.
Work began earlier this week to demolish and replace the bridge that takes Sheffield Street over Interstate 70 in Canton Township, said Scott Faieta, assistant construction engineer who oversees projects in the county.
On Monday, the left lane of College Street between Highland Avenue and East Maiden Street will close as work on the Route 19 project around Washington & Jefferson College continues. The next phase, which includes reconstruction along Ridge and Highland avenues, will begin this summer.
Work to improve the south junction of interstates 70 and 79 is going well, Faieta reported. The piers for the flyover ramp have been built and beams set, he said. Work also is continuing on reconstruction of the Eighty Four/Route 519 interchange on I-70.
Five bridges will be replaced this summer, including three on Route 136 and one each in Coal Center and Westland.
"Detours will be required, so all three bridges on Route 136 will not be done at the same time," Faieta said.
Work at the Meadow Lands interchange of I-79 will be finished by summer. Faieta said all of the I-79 ramps are functional. A box culvert on Manifold Road has to be completed, as well as work on the traffic signals.
Valleybrook Road near Route 19 in Peters Township will be closed in May as work begins on that intersection. A bridge in Midway also will be rebuilt this year. Asphalt patching on I-79 south will start in the middle of April and continue through August.
A bridge on Henderson Avenue at the Washington-Canton line will not be removed until next year because of right-of-way concerns, he added.
Future projects being worked on include the proposed roundabout at Route 519 and Brownlee Road and the diverging diamond interchange proposed for I-70 at Murtland Avenue. Duda noted this interchange would be the first of its kind in the state.

That chemical is dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT, and it's the biggest culprit behind male pattern baldness or androgenic appropecia. DHT is basically regular testosterone that gets converted into an altered form of itself in the bloodstream. It's thought to lead to baldness by signaling your hair follicles to cut back their growth, which in turn thins out the hair. DHT can rob you of your mane—unless you take action.
If your hair loss has already reached an advanced stage:
• It's probably best to see a specialist. They might put you on a prescription like Propecia (it typically starts to regrow hair within 3 to 12 months). Your doc might even recommend surgery, if you just can't live without a full head of hair. Heck, there may even be a cure in the works.
If you're in the beginning or middle stages of hair loss:
• Two big environmental contributors to hair loss are poor diet and stress, so try to cut back on processed foods and eat more stuff that has just one ingredient, like meats and vegetables. • Also: Chill out. Take up yoga, meditation, curling, whatever puts you at ease. Stress won't help your case.
• Think about using a hair-strengthening shampoo that thickens and volumizes while protecting hair from DHT. It's also a smart move to use Rogaine about once or twice a month—especially once hair loss becomes noticeable.

As @AdamSchefter pointed out, the #Jets' flipcard has both Tebow and Sanchez as No. 2 QB http://twitpic.com/bokycb
haha..priceless..Rex can't hurt anyone's feelings
OMG. Rex is a joke. If he can't choose a backup how can he run a team.
This explains a lot of what we have seen during his tenure with personnel.
Go Ravens!!
Well at least watching the Giants get punked for the 2nd week in a row is entertaining...
Could someone explain that cluster**** of a fumble call?
Refs in the Giant game are brutal.
the ravens are shredding the giants D on 3rd downs
I actually think the Jets may have a better defense than the Giants this year. Giants secondary has been awful.
Face it, the Giants just aren't that good- their defense sucks and Eli hasn't been much more effective than any of our QB's the last 2 weeks- I will LOVE it if they miss the playoffs. Can someone fill me in on how the Giants can miss the playoffs- if the Skins beat Dallas they've got the division but could the Bears or Vikes grab the 6 seed?
Giants need to win next week and have
Washington beat Dallas
Green Bay beat Minnesota
Detroit beat Chicago.
Even in the middle of another Giants choke job, they find a reason to replay that ****ing Cruz play against us...*sigh*

EUR/USD Forecast, Technical Analysis, Outlook ► preview of the main events that move Euro to Dollar during the week. Here is some general information. Scroll down for the latest EUR/USD forecast.
EUR/USD characteristics
Euro/dollar is the world's most popular currency pair for both institutional and retail traders. The euro is the single currency of 19 European countries that often differ from each other. The US dollar is the reserve currency of the world.
Germany's high trade surplus means that money is flowing into the euro area. When there is no excessive speculation, this influx pushes the common currency higher. However, the euro area has its share of economic and political issues.
The euro debt crisis engulfed Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Italy, and Spain. While the worst may be behind us, it is always looming. Thanks to the leadership of the European Central Bank and President Mario Draghi, the project survived. The diverse countries are linked by a monetary union but not a fiscal one, and this remains the Achilles heel.
EUR//USD trading is often choppy, especially when it is confined to narrow ranges. When the pair is in trend, past technical lines, even those from 2003, are respected quite nicely.
EUR/USD recent moves
After Brexit, many feared that other European countries would leave. The rise of populists, especially in France, keeps the euro down. On the other hand, the ECB will probably end the massive bond-buying scheme. In April, they will reduce the volume from 80 to 60 billion euros. According to reports, the Frankfurt-based institution could lift the negative deposit rate before ending QE. The ECB has pushed the euro higher with the hawkish tilt.
The dollar previously enjoyed hopes for fiscal stimulus from the Trump administration. Also, the upbeat sentiment from the Federal Reserve also underpinned the dollar. Both have changed with Trump's failure to pass any health-care reform and the "dovish hike" from the Fed.
So, fewer people now expect EUR/USD parity.
