Mike (11:28 AM)
Good morning and welcome to our weekly Patriots chat here on ESPNBoston.com.
Mike (11:29 AM)
The auto update is on and the idea is to start a little earlier than normal because there is so much ground to cover (Welker and non-Welker), and I'll have to conclude by 12:55 p.m. ET as there is a conference call with new Patriots safety Adrian Wilson at 1 p.m.
Mike (11:29 AM)
We'll kick it off here in a few...
Mike (11:33 AM)
A few quick Welker thoughts. Stepping back from it, as a fan of the game and a fan of Welker, it is a big disappointment. My all-time favorite Patriot = Welker.
Mike (11:35 AM)
As is often the case, both sides can share some of the responsibility for this unexpected ending. If you asked Welker a few weeks ago, I think he would have been shocked at the thought of playing elsewhere. This isn't what he was expecting. Likewise for the Patriots. They had aligned goals, but ultimately a major gap in their view of the reshaped marketplace.
Mike (11:37 AM)
If you want to hold the agents accountable, it's for overshooting the market so badly. They were asking for a $15 million signing bonus on the first day of free agency. Seeing how Welker wound up with 2 years, $12 million with the Broncos, it's not even close. Everyone knows that in any negotiation, one side starts high, the other starts low, and you try to compromise and meet somewhere in the middle. But if your starting points are so far apart, and one is so unrealistic, it makes that process a lot tougher to go through.
Mike (11:40 AM)
As for the Patriots, if you want to hold them accountable, in my view it's for moving on as quickly as they did once free agency began. Should they have given Welker another 24-48 hours, given all he did for the franchise, before moving on to Amendola? I could make the case that they should have. The Patriots probably would have lost Amendola if they did that (he had other suitors lined up), but to me, Welker was a special case. The Patriots will counter by saying that they had no realistic expectation that a deal could get done with Welker because of the unrealistic demands made by Welker's agents, and then what if they lost both Amendola and Welker? They have a point there. This is the cold part of the business.
Mike (11:42 AM)
I'm going to step outside the journalistic realm for one moment and sum it up this way: The whole thing stinks. Welker should have been here and I truly believe he wanted to be here. It's disappointing to me that he's not. There are so many layers to the situation, and I'm happy to dissect them all if we so desire. That's why I wanted to start a little early today -- to be able to cover anything Welker-related because it's been so polarizing, but also the non-Welker related stuff.
Mike (11:42 AM)
Here we go...
Ethan (Isla Vista)
Mike, Wes Welker your ALL TIME favorite?! From a character standpoint, you definitely know leagues more than I do, however based on the surface and the memories, here are my favorites: Kevin Faulk, Troy Brown, Bruschi, Harrison, and Big Vince. I think McCourty has the potential to jump over. (I'm only 19 so I didn't get to see Grogan, Tippett, Hannah, etc. play)
Mike (11:44 AM)
For me, Ethan, it's the the idea of the little guy playing a big man's game and dominating in his own way. The big hits and getting back up. The toughness -- both mentally and physically. And also, to be honest, a little bit of a personal connection there.
Doc (Palm Coast Fl.)
As a Pats fan since their inception, I'm baffeled by the entire Welker situation... but, I'm amused by the "CYA" tatics of the Pats and Mr. Krafts statements to the press. It appears to be smoke and mirrors. "Don't believe your lying eyes n' ears tatics". Two things jumped out at me. The Pats had two years to lock Wes up and failed to do so. There was no love evident and the appearence was to force Welker's hand with a low ball offer. I believe they counted on his pride to cause him to walk. Second thing that had me sneerng was the tenor, and wording of the response by Mr. Karft to a reporters question regarding input from Tom Brady. Reportedly Mr. Kraft first stated that "I don't answer to Tom Brady"! and then went on to say that he was never contacted by Tom...Perhaps there is a thread of truth, in which Brady did not directly contact Mr. Kraft, but his feelings regarding Wes are well documented...I'm certain Brady let his preference known BB and others. Kraft had to know! Now it seems there are reports to counter that denial. Brady can't be very happy that the front office discounted his statements regarding Welker abilities, work ethic and league leading stats and apparently, disregarded Brady's preference? Your thoughts please?
Mike (11:48 AM)
Doc, in terms of the two years to lock up Welker, it comes back to both sides being a little realistic. When this process started, Welker's agents were asking for Larry Fitzgerald/Calvin Johnson money. Let's just say that started the negotiations off on the wrong foot. I liken it to a real-estate analogy. They were living in a neighborhood where houses went from $200,000-$300,000 and were looking for $600,000 for theirs. It just wasn't realistic. So it's sort of difficult to strike a deal when one side has a dramatically different view ...
Mike (11:50 AM)
As for the Patriots counting on Welker's pride, I think what they were counting on more than anything was Welker and his representatives getting a "dose of reality" with the market and readjusting their financial goals. That's what the three-day legal tampering period was supposed to be for. At that point, Welker and his reps should have had a good idea of where a potential contract would fall. ...
Mike (11:51 AM)
... But it didn't happen for some reason. That's one aspect of this that doesn't add up to me.
Mike (11:52 AM)
... Finally, as to the Kraft remarks on Tom Brady, this was a situation where Brady was kept abreast of all developments as they unfolded. Did he like the end result? Nope. How could he? Welker is one of his best pals, not to mention a great player. But when the facts were laid out in front of him, and the timeline was shared, it is easier to understand.
Zach (Philadelphia)
Hey Mike,I read everything you write, and am a huge Patriots fan. Overall, I think you are spot-on in just about all of your Patriots-related opinions. On the Welker front, however, I think you are missing some important perspective, and perhaps letting the fact that he was your favorite player cloud your reporting. From my view, I feel like Tom overly-relied on Wes, especially in important situations, leaving the defense knowing where the ball was going. Additionally, nowhere have I seen the acknowledgment of Wes' big drops (not to mention the many drops that weren't as big).Yes, Welker was a great Patriot, but I think with Amendola (who has better hands, better pass-catching range, and is more of a vertical threat), and Brady spreading the ball around more, this offense could actually be better without Welker. I'd like to also point you to Bill Barnwell's article on Grantland, discussing the differences between the two players.
Mike (11:54 AM)
Thanks for adding the perspective, Zach. I don't overlook the drops. My perspective is rooted in the belief that the Patriots wanted Welker back (at their price, which essentially turned out to be what he signed for in Denver), and Welker wanted to be here. So I don't think they moved on to Amendola because they thought he was an upgrade over Welker. I think they moved on because of negotiating circumstances. ... All that said, great piece by Barnwell IMO.
Tman (Belmont, MA)
Hi Mike. Pats have yet to solve their "X" issue. In Pittsburgh, when the two were playing at the same time, Wallace was the X; so, do we have enough of a track record to know whether Sanders can be an effective X? Doesn't this seem to force them, no matter whether they sign Sanders or not, to have to draft an X WR in one of the top 2 rounds?
Mike (11:55 AM)
Tman, in reading reports out of Pittsburgh, I think the Steelers were projecting Sanders to the X spot. Don't hold me to it (things have been swirling this last week), but I believe it's a realistic expectation to think he could fit there in New England.
dave (nyc)
i know this is my second post but since i don't usually get any answered, what does it hurt....glad to see you mnetion that the Patriots could/should have given another 24-48 hours. I didn't see you mention that before. that's another piece that doesn't add up to me I know they had to move on Amendola but it just seems that their decision to fianlly "move on" seems a bit abrupt after two years of talks. if wes was on the phone with Kraft one final time, they really just shoudl have worked this out.
Mike (11:56 AM)
Dave, I mentioned this in the piece that brought great criticism from Boston sports radio hosts Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti. I am going to dig up the link now.
Mike (11:57 AM)
Mike (11:58 AM)
Here is the excerpt: "Talks between the Patriots and Welker's representatives broke off in the hours before free agency began Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. At that point, after a year of discussions that didn't produce an extension, the Patriots had a decision to make: Risk losing backup target Danny Amendola by waiting on Welker, or move on. They decided to move on. Should they have waited? Should it have even reached that point? Those are fair questions, and maybe Welker, after everything he'd done for the organization, deserved another 24-48 hours from the team."
munchkin (glenwood springs, co)
Mike, Fleger and Massarotti are entertainers and pretty good at what they do; but journalistic integrity is not a high priority when you are in an airwaves battle. And they aren't alone. Unfortunately sensationalism attracts dollars while levelheadedness is boring. Parsing one's words makes for bad radio. Thanks for keeping it real. There is way too much appealing to the lowest common denominator going on in the mass media; that is nothing new. What you do isn't necessarily new either, but it is unfortunately becoming less common. I, and I know there are many more, find it refreshing to hear an honest voice. Thanks to you, Field and Mike for putting to substance to"print" Sad to see the Boston Phoenix closing its doors. Loved the paper when I lived back there in the 80's. Peace I know this isn't going to be part of the chat but I wanted to extend a thank you.
Mike (12:03 PM)
Thanks for those thoughts. A couple leftover thoughts from this perspective on the radio fireworks with Michael Felger and Tony Massarotti. First, I have a very solid relationship with both of them. I emailed with Michael right after the segment, and text with Tony. It has been common for me and Tony to talk about Patriots-related issues before he goes on the air, just to go over facts and background so he's more informed, or at least hears a perspective of someone closer to it than he is. I think that context is important. There is absolutely nothing personal here.
Mike (12:06 PM)
That said, the one thing I hope people come away with after Friday's exchange is that people in my position are out in the field, doing the hard work, reporting, talking to sources (from both sides), and nothing is more important than our integrity and ability to gather the most accurate information possible to produce the most truthful account of events. Specific to Michael and Tony, that is not what they do. They are opining on things from a much less informed position. They need to answer to the ratings book, and thus, their work is much more rooted in entertainment (as you pointed out). ...
Mike (12:10 PM)
Maybe the best comparison I can make is that they are living in a WWE world. We're living in the real world. What was surprising to me is that since they have both been on this side in the past as newspaper reporters that they would even go there. Such a baseless charge couldn't go unchecked.
John T16 [via mobile]
Hi Mike, I was wondering where the Cap number is for the Patriots is? Thanks.
Mike (12:12 PM)
John, Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe had it at $15 million as of a couple days ago. It's in that range. One thing to account for is that the team is in a holding pattern until Sebastian Vollmer's status is solidified. That would eat up a chunk of it (let's say $5 million). They also want to leave themselves some flexibility for future moves too.
Dave (San Francisco)
Since the Pats cut Brandon Lloyd, the salary he was set to get paid becomes dead cap money. If they resign him, can that dead cap money become 'alive' and be used to help cover the salary for his new contract? Also, it seems in general that dead cap space is toxic for a team like the Patriots that does so well with the cap in general. Does being willing to accept dead space after cutting lloyd indicate that they really misjudged his value last year when signing him? They would have had to know then that cutting him before he got his bonus this year would incur the dead space.
Mike (12:14 PM)
Dave, unfortunately for teams, that's not the way it works. Dead money can't become alive. It would still be dead and then they'd have to account for any new money that Lloyd signed for. The decision to absorb that dead money is an acknowledgment that what they paid him doesn't match what they projected to receive in 2013.
Peyton (Holden)
I am very amused with your answers regarding the Felger clash. You seem to dismiss the original Felger sentiment that you are being fed by the organization. Don't you think a former embedded reporter can easily spot an agenda driven piece. I guess it was just a coincidence that your agent hit piece front ran Kraft's podium "blame the agent" rant. Mike, stop hiding behind the "I look at all sides" because on this issue, it is clear who your source is
Mike (12:15 PM)
Peyton, I do dismiss Felger's sentiment that I am being fed. I would hope that anyone understands that in my job, if I'm not talking to high-level members of the organization, I'm failing. How is that being fed? And if you read my work, it's clear that I'm not just talking to high-level members of the organization, but also high-level people on the other side of the negotiating table. So that's where I'm calling Felger out for BS.
Mike (12:16 PM)
Peyton, read this piece and tell me both sides aren't represented. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/9050742/2013-nfl-free-agency-new-england-patriots-quickly-shifted-wes-welker-danny-amendola
Mike (12:18 PM)
It's nonsense.
Jeffrey (Helena)
Woodhead leaving more a sign of confidence in Vereen or more then Pats would pay?
Mike (12:20 PM)
Jeffrey, it's hard to answer until I see the terms of Woodhead's deal. My understanding of it is that the Patriots wanted Woodhead back, but as they often do, they set their price and weren't going to move too far off it. I assume the Chargers upped the ante to a level the Patriots weren't comfortable going. I think the Patriots could regret this one, but it's hard to be decisive until seeing the contract numbers.
Anthony Powell (Boynton Beach, FL)
Mike this is not the First Time the Patriots have made a Controversial Decision letting a Fan Favorite Go and sign with another team remember Adam Vinateiri 2006
Mike (12:21 PM)
True, Anthony. Some similarities between the two, but also some differences.
Miguel (Chicago)
Mike - We didn't hear much about Jeremy Ebert last year - did he progress, what does the braintrust think of him, how did he look in practices? Pretender or contender?
Mike (12:23 PM)
Miguel, I think the biggest thing for Ebert (7th round, Northwestern) is physically getting a little stronger. Having a full offseason in the team's program/system should help. But at this point, he has to be viewed as a longshot. That can always change, but based on the picture we're looking at now, tough to be able to count on much at this point.
Peyton (Holden)
Mike....You need to go back and reread your agent hit piece. Not one ounce of Dunn's sentiment is reflected in your story. Guess your "opinion" just happen to align with Kraft. That's smart business...for you
Mike (12:24 PM)
Peyton, I do think the agents botched this one. It just so happens to align with Kraft's view. But if I thought Kraft botched it, I wouldn't hesitate to say it.
Neil (South Boston)
Mike, I will say that I've been reading your work for years and you've always struck me as fair and level-headed. However, it's nice to see you get fired up once in awhile like this.
Mike (12:26 PM)
Neil, this one fires me up because it's an attack on the fundamental principle of what I stand for. I usually let criticism roll off my back, but this crossed a line beyond that. Now let's move on.
Michael (Rona)
Mike, might the Pats kick the tires on Brian Urlacher?
Mike (12:28 PM)
Michael, when I think of where Urlacher would fit on this defense, it's in the Spikes-type role. They could kick the tires, but I'm not sure it's in the pressing category for them.
George (Athens)
Hi Mike, after all these weeks of being bombarded by you and the rest of the NE writers regarding the 'Brady restructure' and how the Pats were top-10 in cap space I have seen NOTHING being done. Wheres the pass-rush? Wheres the extra help for our secondary? Who does TB have as offensive weapons down the field? Lots of questions Mike and I see no answers. Specially in a year where NE uncharacteristically has no depth in draft picks. Pls tell me im wrong.
Mike (12:35 PM)
George, I understand the viewpoint. I look at it slightly different, and part of my thought process is that it's an incomplete picture right now. Furthermore, if we look at some of the most successful teams in the NFL over the years, this is a time they use to complement their core, not create it. I thought the Talib re-signing was critical. A full year with him, and creating a situation where overall d-back continuity can potentially spark improvement. I don't think you're necessarily wrong in your viewpoint -- their moves might turn out to be poor (2012 wasn't exactly a bonanza) -- but I'd just urge for a little patience at this point.
Chesty LaRue (Boston, MA)
Seems to me the league has been successful in bringing down player salaries, the players can't be happy with the deal they signed can they?
Mike (12:36 PM)
Chesty, this has been stunning to watch from this perspective. Last year, the top cornerback on the market (Cortland Finnegan) got a deal that averages $10 million per season. This year's top cornerbacks (e.g. Talib) are right around $5 million per season. Not good for players.
grandjordanian (San Diego, CA)
So many questions, Mike, but let's start with one you couldn't possibly be able to predict. Do you think BB sees his team right now needing impact players in the draft, and therefore being inclined to use his picks where they are, or will he be certain to trade down to accumulate more? What I mean is, let's say the highest guy on his draft board is there when our team picks in the first round, but 6 of his next tier guys are still available. Does he trade back to pick a lesser guy(s) in his mind and get more ammo, or does he think, "This guy helps us win a Super Bowl THIS year?"
Mike (12:37 PM)
I think he trades back in this scenario, Grand.
Jeff (Arlington, VA)
Mike:In his comments about Welker a few days ago, Kraft specifically noted the need to "invest in the defense." However, the Pats haven't really added any new pieces to the defense so far, other than Adrian Wilson (a mid-level player). I'm hoping the Pats will be able to add a couple more mid-level defensive players over the next few weeks. Do you think that is a possibility? They seem to have the cap space to do so. Even if the Pats resigned Vollmer, I think they would still have the cap space to sign one more mid-level player for the defense.
Mike (12:38 PM)
I do think it's a possibility, Jeff, and part of that is waiting to see where the market settles with veteran ends such as Elvis Dumervil, John Abraham and Dwight Freeney. My feeling is that anything big to semi-big is basically on hold right now until the Vollmer situation is resolved. They want him back, but it's always the question about "what price?"
Jamal (Hoover, AL)
Hey Mike, after some Gostkowski misses last year, do you see the Pats bringing in some camp competition? What's his contract look like?
Mike (12:40 PM)
Jamal, Gostkowski is on the books for $2.5 million this season. I could envision a scenario where competition is brought in, which would really be the first time that legitimately happened. In 2005-2006, this was around the range in salary when the Patriots began thinking about life without Adam Vinatieri. I'm not sure that means much, and the market has obviously shifted and evolved from that point, but it was a point of information that interested me.
jim (Fall River)
Mike should we expect from Ballard this year?
Mike (12:41 PM)
Jim, I asked Belichick about Ballard on Tuesday morning and the indication I got was that Ballard's rehab was on a positive course at the end of 2012. This puts him in position to potentially be in the tight end mix for 2013.
Trevor Nicholls (Beavercreek, Ohio)
Hey Mike what do you think Adrian Wilson brings to this team? Safety depth, or a true playmaker at the position?
Mike (12:42 PM)
Trevor, the first word that comes to mind for me is "toughness." I'm not sure how well he still runs, and that will be a key to watch, but if I had to guess I think BB will do some creative things with him in sub packages as an in-the-box, blitzing type player. The Patriots were in sub 57 percent of the time last season.
T.J. (Melbourne, FL)
Mike, Long time, thanks for the time you put in. Do you think the loss of Lloyd, Welker, Woodhead, and possibly Edelman is too much change for the Pats? Basically evert WR will be new for Brady. Is training camp enough time to full get the offense ready for the season, which has a very tough schedule this year?
Mike (12:44 PM)
Edelman could still be back, T.J., so let's not rule him out unless something has happened over the last hour or so here. The change has to be a concern. I was expecting change, but not this much, because I thought Welker would be back. Let's not overlook the TEs, though. They are all back, and part of the passing game, naturally.
brian (ct)
Mike, Do you have any knowledge of the PATS ever make Ed Reed an offer?
Mike (12:44 PM)
I don't have any knowledge of that, Brian.
Zack (Quincy)
Mike, I'm hoping this is the year that I get proven wrong regarding the "second year leap." Its hard to think of too many Pats players who have taken a substantial step forward in their second year recently. This year though, I'm hoping either Jones, Hightower, and/or Wilson will take the big step onto the big stage. Who do you think is most likely to pull it off?
Mike (12:46 PM)
I'll go with Chandler Jones, Zack. The main thing that stands out to me with Jones is how he said he would use this offseason to improve his upper-body strength. He felt his body was a bit disproportional. Good insight as to how he's approaching things this offseason. If Jones does that, I'm interested to see what a difference it makes for him.
Marc (Malden, MA)
The Patriots are a bunch of cheapskates. All they do is spend quarters on 2nd/3rd tier guys. I want them to spend dollars on 1st tier guys. Stop with this 12 pack of Natty Light over 6 pack of Sam Adams philosophy.
Mike (12:47 PM)
I remember the Natty Light days, Marc. No question, they don't always make the right decisions. But one of the best lines I heard in all of this came from Scott Pioli a few weeks back. It went something like this: "They don't give out a trophy for spending the most money, or spending it the fastest. It's about spending smartly." We've seen enough examples where spending big doesn't produce the desired results.
Steve-O (Philadelphia, PA)
Do you think the Patriots will offer a contract to Emmanuel Sanders? If so, do you think Steelers will match or work out a trade instead of Patriots giving up 3rd rounder?
Mike (12:48 PM)
Steve, this is a complete hunch, and so many things have to come together, but I think they will go ahead with an offer sheet. It's impossible to say if the Steelers will match without knowing the terms of it.
Gerard Mansfield (Stockton, CA)
Hi Mike,Do you see the Patriots targeting a receiver other than Sanders during FA-gency? Do you think Belichick would be willing to ship a 1st to NY for V. Cruz? I personally don't see it happening, but would go absolutely nuts if it did. It sure seems to me that we need a legit, healthy number one option for Brady.
Mike (12:49 PM)
Gerard, I don't see the Patriots doing that for Cruz. Too much draft capital and salary to give up, which represents buying an asset at its highest point.
Rick (Providence)
Hi Mike,The more time that passes the Vollmer isn't resigned the more I think he is all done here in NE. I read a report about Winston being a possibility for NE. Do you think they feel Cannon is the answer at RT and are low balling Sea Bass? My preference would to see them resign Sea Bass and try Cannon at RG
Mike (12:50 PM)
Rick, you could be right, but I actually see it a little differently. The longer he's on the market, the more I think he might he might come back because it reflects a lack of other teams stepping up to meet his desired price. As for Cannon, I thought BB was pretty strong on him Tuesday. I'll dig up the quote now...
Mike (12:52 PM)
BB on Cannon: "Huge gains last year ... has improved tremendously as a player ... the opportunities he had to play early in the year, and even later in the year, he showed that improvement on the field in games as well as the practice field."
Mike (12:52 PM)
Let's go for another 5, as I'll have to run for Adrian Wilson's conference call at 1.
Glen (Mpls)
Hi Mike. Woodhead and Welker are, to me, everything that is right about football. Guys who have proved naysayers wring through their dedication, toughness/durability, high energy, hard work, and plain heart. Was so great to see these kind of guys in a Pats uniform. Withiout individuals like this on one's team it's just rooting for laundry. I think the departures of these sort of character guys who can also play will have a very negative impact on the team's performance in the upcoming year.
Mike (12:54 PM)
Glen, I think Welker and Woodhead represent so many good things about football. It is a hit. I wonder if the team will ultimately regret not being able to reach a compromise to bring both back. That said, just because they are gone doesn't mean the team can't find/groom players in the same way. Let's see how it unfolds.
Paul (nashua, nh)
Mike. I know you are tired of Welker questions, but the player could not have contact with teams during the tampering period, just the agents. But didn't Wes state that it was him who contacted John Elway, and not the other way around?
Mike (12:57 PM)
Paul, the conversation between Welker and Elway came after free agency started. Welker pitched himself to Elway. One thing about this to consider that Elway has traditionally liked bigger receivers.
Todd (Boston)
Mike, First, I have a lot of respect for your integrity and am a loyal reader but Wow, calling Felger & Mazz the WWE is pretty harsh. Felger can be harsh too, especially concerning issues related to the Pats FO, but he made good points when he was on the phone with you. 'Why did people report that the sides were close to a deal before FA if in reality they were no where near close?" Just because both sides wanted to do a deal doesn't mean there should be much cause for optimism. As a fan it seems clear cut that the Patriots should have offered more to keep him.Additionally, it seems the Pats FO floated the rumor that Emmanuel Sanders signed an offer sheet to certain reporters as a way of getting Lloyd to restructure before the deadline. That agrees with Felger's point about reporters saying what the team wants for their benefit.
Mike (1:01 PM)
Todd, some of those reports on the Welker-Pats being close lacked context. The reason those reports were out there were because sources from both sides had indicated that the No. 1 priority on each side was to get it done. So that right there generates optimism when you have aligned goals. Were those reports too aggressive? Perhaps and that's fair. I wrote that things were looking up at the time because both sides had aligned goals, and I am accountable for that. Had I known more about the finances, I probably would have held back. But I didn't have that information at the time.
Frank (Florida)
Hey Mike! If Dennard does wind up getting jail-time, any chance the Patriots move McCourty back to corner for the year and pick up another safety? I heard Kerry Rhodes was cut by the Cardinals, could he be a possible option? Also, the Cardinals had a solid secondary due mainly to the fact that their safety play was always a high level, maybe the Patriots reunite them if Dennard is unable to come back. Thoughts?
Mike (1:02 PM)
Frank, I'd be surprised if they move McCourty back to CB at this point. My sense is that they want to give McCourty a full offseason at safety and see what it looks like.
Dan (New London, CT)
Mike, loved the Welker free mail bag earlier this week. Any chance we can have a similar Moss free chat/mailbag policy? Getting very tired of reading the same Moss questions and answers over and over. Moss is not coming back, lets all just move on.
Mike (1:02 PM)
Yes, Dan, we're going to make that happen. I said it to someone on Twitter, the other day, "no mas." Or in this case, no Moss.
Ken Endicott NY [via mobile]
Mike love your writing since moving away from the local Boston papers. Question I have is. What do you think the Pats are doing with the 29 pick? I am starting to think they may try to draft DJ Fluker from Alabama. Do you think that has any merit?
Mike (1:04 PM)
Let's end on this one, Ken. I like Fluker and there is the obvious Alabama tie-in. To me, that's a situation where you have a potential plug-and-play rookie, or at the least, a very good competition with Cannon. This could always change if they bring Vollmer back.
Mike (1:05 PM)

Yeah, they're bearded and broken. They wear tired trucker caps, dirty tees and seem to be looking for lost change on stage. Even their name sounds drunk and sleepy. But Grandaddy can't help but write great songs. While the band's latest release, Sumday, doesn't meet the expectations set by their previous album, The Sophtware Slump, Grandaddy keeps some elements constant: stories of love-weary technocrats and smart, smart pop. Singer/guitarist/keyboardist Jason Lytle and the boys are well-established alongside Super Furry Animals, the Shins and Guster as a band that knows the value of good songwriting--short, hooky and Moog-tweaked. Their penchant for fuzzy, filtered noise only embroiders some of the most catchy and unshakeable melodies this side of the Flaming Lips. The band's upcoming show at the Granada is sure to feature many of the down-tempo tales of modern woe that weighed down much of Sumday's first half, but expect Lytle's bare-but-beautiful tenor to find its way from behind the stacks of keyboards more forcefully on "Now It's On," "The Go in the Go-For-It" and their traditional closing epic, "He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot.

The Capital Grille - Las Vegas Ratings and Reviews
As a long term frequenter of steakhouses I know the difference between a really good one and a great one. The Capital Grille to me seems like a great one. The cocktails were consistent and delicious. The meat was unmatched by any restaurant I've been to. Historically I loathe au gratin potatoes but here they were so light and flavorful. The portions were very fair without being extremely large . Will absolutely be back.
We have all had the experience that the food arrives and one meal is not right. What happens next defines everything about the restaurant. We were dining with a client and my meal was not prepared correctly, in fact it was ice cold. We motioned to a staff member passing by who took the plate and for 30 minutes my companions dined and my plate was not returned. Finally we found our server and told him what happened. My plate was returned and it was a mess. Next he took my plate and remade my dinner with many many apologies. But that wasn't the end.
The manager, Jason, came to our table. He apologized. In fact he picked up my dinner and my companions dinner and our entire tab. I want to emphasize that in my entire life this has never happened. What i want everyone to know is that Las Vegas has been through a terrible ordeal and it was the human connection that was made by this manager that made this so special. Vegas strong.
The lunch menu offers something for every appetite. My preference is the Maine Lobster salad with the citrus dressing. The view of the strip is wonderful whether in the evening or during the day. This is also a great place to meet for a drink. The bar is very traditional and inviting.
Capital Grille is one of my "go to" places when I need a solid business meal or a good place for a birthday lunch. This particular visit, service was a bit off - with the appetizers arriving after the entrees, having to ask for condiments, and then having to wait for quite some time before they were delivered. While the head waitress did warn up front that she was working with a trainee, any gesture to acknowledge these flubs would've been appreciated (comp the appetizer? surprise with a free dessert?). Don't get me wrong, they were their usual professional, friendly selves - but when a run-of-the-mill cheeseburger is 25 dollars, they should consider training on their own staff in a controlled environment rather than using customers as guinea pigs.
Business as usual! I had not been to Las Vegas in 2 years. I had a routine of making all of my lunch meeting at CG because it was easy to get to and easy to get a cab when returning. Also the food was really good and if I was on a tight schedule, I would let the server know and I would always be out on time. This was no exception. Food was really good, our server was attentive and my customer really liked my choice of restaurants. So, great job all the way around.
Exceptional. The Capital Grille has some of the best steaks and side dishes in LV. You absolutely need a reservation. It's easy to get to, and the view of the strip is spectacular. Desert is unbelievable, try the apple tart. The blue cheese wedge salad is scrumptious and the portion sizes are great. My fave steak is the bone-in ribeye...yum! Great food at a great value with an awesome Las Vegas experience.
My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Capital Grille today. The staff went out of their way to make our day special. From a corner table decorated with heart confetti to a hand written card. Each person greeted us and wished us a happy anniversary. The meal was simply spectacular as always, including a new menu offering of jumbo shrimp and grits which was my husbands most favorite meal in years. They then followed up the meal with a beautiful display of two desserts which were as gorgeous as decedent and on the House. I LOVE Capital Grille. They may be a large chain but each and every one makes you feel like you are at a very individualized high end local chefs personal home.
excellent service, excellent food. I had lunch there with my friend, we ordered squash bisque, salmon with avocado mango salad and roast chicken risotto. The soup is amazing, salmon cooked perfectly, mango salad very refresh your taste. But the roast chicken didn't cook done yet, still can see red. We reported this to server immediately, the server took it back to kitchen, then the manager even came out to apologize. They have waived our chicken also waived the soup, the check came out very cheap LOL. Excellent customer service, definitely will go back for dinner.
Todo perfecto !
La mejor vista de Las Vegas para cenar.
Detalles por nuestro aniversario, como una tarjeta, un agradecimiento verbal, postres para ambos de cortesía con detalle de felicidades, etc.
Excelente !
Y calidad de comida 💯

This week Higher Art Galleries has put all of our effort into creating a business proposal and content creation.
Our goal is to publish our content on a reimagined www.higherartgalleries.com that acts more as a hub for all things art and emerging art related, and less of a normal online gallery. As a result, our content will represent our new vision. The content will range from anything from an online video tutorial for painting techniques to our top 10 favorite art blogs. While our content will be honest and true to our core values as a brand, we want to expand our revenue stream to include paid advertising that we can integrate into our content and platform.
Since we have made a lot of changes to our business lately, customer discover is extremely important for us right now. Tomorrow (Thursday) we will be interviewing local emerging artists to test our hypothesis and narrow down our company vision.
Friday we have a very important meeting with a powerful figure who is an expert in the digital advertising and paid advertising field. We have conducted research on his area of expertise and have come up with a list of questions in order to get the most out of our meeting.
Next week I will have a full update on our customer discoveries and meeting recap!

Rotterdam Mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb has demanded a full explanation from telecom provider KPN for the major breakdown in the South Holland communications network on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
Emergency services were largely unavailable and the Rotterdam metro was brought to a standstill, stranding tens of thousands of commuters.
The Rotterdam Rijnmond Security Region responded by raising its emergency threat level. Warnings were issued to old people's homes and hospitals when automatic fire alarms failed.
The problems were resolved by around 8.30 a.m.
The Security and Justice Ministry has announced an investigation into the cause of the breakdown and its consequences.

The Battle of Crécy: A Casebook is scheduled for release today by the University of Liverpool Press … and news is beginning to get out about some of the important findings that those of us involved in the project have uncovered.
For starters, Medievalists.net features a short web article discussing my theories about the location of the battle. It's a very nice piece, and it features a few images not in the book itself.
Even better, though, I'm happy to say that the Battle of Crécy is the cover story for the corresponding version of The Medieval Magazine, which goes into even more depth about some of the new data:
And of course all this is only the barest look at what our team of amazing collaborators has managed in the full volume!

No hope for decaying banyan; axe looms
The crown of a dying, century-old Chinese banyan tree on busy Nathan Road may have to be removed in case it falls, a government arborist says.
The banyan, on the government's list of old and valuable trees, is so ill that it will not recover, Tree Management Office head Lawrence Chau Kam-chiu said after an inspection yesterday.
He said its condition is the result of savage pruning in the 1970s, in which big street-facing branches were lopped off so they did not obstruct traffic. The tree is one of 30 on Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard.
It was found to be infested with banyan tussock moths and suffering from brown root rot disease.
'Its health condition is so serious that it won't recover,' he said. 'Although it poses no urgent threat in terms of falling, we will consider removing it in view of public safety.'
Two other nearby trees were also found to have the disease - which spread via their roots - but they were in much better condition and it might be possible to save them.
The inspection was made after Ken So Kwok-yin, a registered arborist and chief executive of the Conservancy Association, last week warned of the ailing banyan's condition, saying its foliage was wilting to the point that there was almost none left.
He said the tree had died because of mismanagement and could be at risk of falling.
Chau inspected the tree yesterday with officers from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and tested its internal decay using a resistograph. He said they would analyse the results in detail soon, but initial assessments showed that the tree was in very poor health.
He said the department did not know much about the disease, but the problem may have been caused by removing big branches in the 1970s. 'The holes it made were so large that the tree could not recover,' he said.
So agreed savage pruning could be to blame. He asked why the government did not take action in October when the problem was spotted.
'Trees don't recover well from illnesses. They need routine and forward-looking care, which seems to be absent from the government's management,' So said.

Unanswered: Any ways to export table structure quickly?
We have more than 100 tables and need to generate creation scripts of them.
I found ddlgen (for table) and defncopy ( for index,trigger,sp) to implement this. Besides this, is there any other utility or tool to use? For example, in oracle, I can use pl/sql developer or exp utility. It is quite simple.
Please advise. Thanks.

Using SQLDBX
There is a tool called SQLDBX. Here you can run a select statment on the required table. When the results appear in the result window, you can right-click on the first row and generate a create statment for that table. Hope this helps.

Fashion Advice: Keys to Always Being "IN" Style
Simplicity in character, in manners, in style; in all things the supreme excellence is simplicity. – Longfellow
Have you trimmed your nose hairs lately? What about a pedicure? Do you know what is "in" style now? We talk about this and much more in this interview with Aaron Marino.
So what is the big deal about "looking good"? Well, how we dress and take care of ourselves says a lot about who we are as a man. Keeping your image at its best is imperative whether you are in the boardroom or on a date. First impressions are powerful and much of it is based on nonverbal communication. So, look good every time you leave the house. The smoking hot girl next door may be watching you.
Aaron Marino is a style and image consultant. He is all over YouTube and has even been on ABC's Sharktank. He helps men develop their personal brand and realize their true potential. Today, we talk about keeping your image in check.
Here is what you will learn:
- How to always be "In" Style. The keys to a timeless wardrobe.
- The biggest mistake most guys make when it comes to style.
- How to find your style.
- A Full Body Image Checklist – (Also see down below)
- much more.
Here is the Interview Summary with the key points. I am all about efficiency so if you don't have time to watch the entire video you can still learn the important lessons. Also, below is the Full Body Image Checklist . Here you go…
Interview Summary
Have you ever wondered if what you are wearing is "in"? Well in this interview Aaron Marino breaks down what you need to know to look great.
We talk about the keys to a timeless wardrobe. How to buy your wardrobe so you are always "in" style.
Dress your age: This is so important. Be aware of how you look age-wise to others. If you look young for your age and your clientele are older folks, then do not keep dressing in a way that makes you look twelve.
Wear Fitted clothes- This is the biggest mistake most guys make. Men are wearing clothes that are too big for them. Baggy clothes make you look shorter and heavier. Fitted does not mean tight. Fitted means it is tailored to follow the contours of you body more accurately. Custom clothing is now widely available and affordable. Check out Moderntailor.com
Know your body type: Some types of clothes compliment certain body types better than others. Find a style savvy celebrity with your body type and see what types of clothes they wear. Remember that fitted is always a must.
Do not go for Trendy: Do not confuse style with trendy. Classic styles and cuts are always in fashion. Wear simple clothes without the eccentric styles. For example, peak lapels and Ed hardy t-shirts are trendy.
Pay attention to all the little pieces- The key to looking good is not just one great piece of clothing. It is all the little details that come together to make some truly look good and stand out.
Full Body Checklist:
Start at the feet and work your way up. Here are some things to notice. When it comes to style and standing out it is not about wearing the most expensive suit you can find. It is about having the best outfit for that particular occasion. In other words, if you go to a beach party, don't wear a suit. Instead, have the coolest board shorts and flip-flops if you want to stand out.
Feet: Are your toenails clean and trimmed? This is always a must because you never know when you will have to reveal your feet. Do you plan on keeping your socks on when your lady is back at your place? 😉
Shoes: Clean and appropriate for the outing. Shoes are what a woman looks at first so pay attention to them. This is a place where you can express your individuality.
Socks: Match them with your pants, not your shoes. No white socks with dress shoes.
Pants: Fitted. I know you like a girls ass when she has fitted pants that accentuate it. Well, girls like to see your butt too. If you are wearing baggy pants it looks like you have no butt. Wear fitted jeans and you might just have that girl next door grab your butt next time she sees you.
Undergarments: Go with boxer briefs. They conform to your body to create a nice visual appeal. Boxers have unnecessary fabric. Definitely, no tighty whiteys.
Grooming under the pants: Take a beard trimmer and trim the hair for a short and smooth look. Shaving is for those of you that want to take it up a notch. Make sure it smells good too.
Belt: Must coordinate with your shoes.
Shirt: Ironed and fitted.
Body and Chest Hair: Take care of it. There are several options if you have lots of hair including wax, trimming, and laser removal. Also, make sure you put lotion on your body if it is dry. No one likes dry elbows.
Nails: Trimmed and filed. Always. Women will see your nails and judge how you take care of yourself down in your pants. Also, make sure they are filed short because if your date turns into a late night, you may find yourself putting them in sensitive places;) Women hate sharp or jagged nails.
Face: Take care of nose hairs, eyebrows, and clean your ears. Make sure you keep you hair looking clean and cut regularly. Schedule an appointment every 3 weeks or whenever you know you hair starts to get scruffy.
Accessories: Apply a few accessories to take your outfit up to the next level. These can be rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, or a hat. Do not overdo it. Sometimes less is more.

Adkins talks about his hits, and his misses
Ten years and seven studio albums have passed since Trace Adkins first began making his living by singing into a microphone and strumming his guitar.
But the 6-foot-6-inch country star admits he still hasn't grown tired of singing the same songs at every concert -- no, not even "Honky Tonk Badonkedonk," which Adkins says is "hands down the biggest hit I've ever had."
"I think back to when I was a kid and would go to some concert for a big rock act -- where you know all the hits they had by heart -- then all of a sudden they start playing tunes off their new album, and you say, 'I want to hear the hits!'" he said in a Monday morning telephone interview. "People expect that of you.
"I've got a couple of songs I do in my show every night that were from my first album. I don't get tired of doing those songs, because I look out into the audience and people are singing along with every word. Seeing them react just like they did when the song first came out ... that keeps it fresh."
Adkins is looking forward to returning to the WE Fest stage this Saturday, Aug. 4, as part of a trio of male headliners that includes Gary Allan and Toby Keith.
"I haven't seen Toby for I while -- I'm looking forward to hanging out with him and catching up a little," Adkins said. "That's the cool thing about doing these festivals -- we get to see some other artists that we haven't seen in a while, catch up with them and visit for a little bit. That makes it a lot of fun for us."
Though Adkins admits he hasn't hit the road quite as hard this year as in 2006, when he did 130 shows, he's still doing "about 80 this year."
That might seem like a heavy workload for some artists, but Adkins says, "I feel like I'm cheating -- taking the year off."
Part of the reason for the slightly slower pace is that it's been nearly a year since the release of his latest album, Dangerous Man. It's been a very successful 12 months for Adkins, as Dangerous Man debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard country album chart and two of its songs, "Swing" and "Ladies Love Country Boys," became radio hits.
But that success came on the heels of Adkins' double-platinum CD, Songs About Me, which spawned the aforementioned "Honky Tonk Badonkedonk," which became an international phenomenon.
"I never had a song that sold that many ringtones," he said, sounding somewhat bemused. "I never crossed over into that (pop music) world to this extent."
But not every song with his name on it can live up to that level of success. His latest single, "I Wanna Feel Something," hasn't had the success he'd hoped for when it was released this spring.
"It's done all right in certain markets," he said, but added that the business of deciding which songs to release as singles is "a crapshoot -- and sometimes it comes up snake eyes."
That honesty, which permeates his music, has made Adkins a fan favorite. In 2006, he was a nominee for "favorite male singer, beating out perennial nominees John Mayer and Justin Timberlake to earn a slot on the ballot alongside Toby Keith and the eventual winner, Kenny Chesney.
And though his burgeoning success has left little time for songwriting -- "I like to joke that career Trace killed off songwriter Trace," he says -- Adkins feels that "there are enough songwriters who are friends of mine, who know me and what I'm about, and want to write songs that they think fits what I do and who I am."
"They're usually right on the money," he continued. "So I'm able to stand on stage and sing a song with the same amount of conviction as if I did write it, because it expresses exactly how I feel."
Adkins will perform Saturday at 8:15 p.m. He joins an all-star list of performers including Keith Urban, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood and Sheryl Crow that will take to the WE Fest stage this weekend to help the country music festival celebrate its 25th anniversary.
The schedule looks something like this:

A new study found significant improvement in heart health when patients practice both activities.
A new study found significant improvement in heart health when patients practice both activities.
Do you frequently drink beverages that are increasing your risk of shrinking your brain and increasing your risk of dementia?
There are no more excuses for being out of shape. Researchers at McMaster University have found that short, intense bursts of stair climbing, which can be done virtually anywhere, have major benefits for heart health.
Adding this spice to your diet can reduce your risk of dying from heart disease or stroke, add years to your life!
A new study found consuming red meat in amounts above what is typically recommended does not affect short-term cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as blood pressure and blood cholesterol.
Do you experience bouts of anger? A study determined intense bursts of anger dramatically increase the risk of heart attacks.
During the last ten years, thanks to numerous studies, we know there are healthy fats our bodies need to function properly, and there are harmful ones that support the development of disease. In general plant based fats fall into the healthy category. A recent study, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, suggests that stress stops the positive effects of choosing good fats.
Is there a supplement that can take the place of exercise? Not completely, in terms of its numerous health related benefits. However, because more than 50 percent of obese and overweight adults are do not exercise to improve their health, a new study suggests taking a certain vitamin can have similar heart related (cardiovascular) benefits comparable to regular exercise.
A study of peanut consumption showed that including them as a part of a high fat meal improved the post-meal triglyceride response and preserved artery function.
Serious heart attacks are affecting younger and more obese individuals, and rates of high blood pressure, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease remain elevated.

Doble BastonCategories: DVDs
Doblé Baston (Double Stick) is undoubtedly one of the most powerful sub-systems of the Filipino Martial Arts. It covers an amazing array of combinations that teach the practitioner to utilize two weapons of equal length, such as sticks, swords, etc. Doblé Baston drills are designed to flow seamlessly from striking to blocking while giving the practitioner the ability to use the weapon in either hand or both at the same time.

Bethlehem - Jerusalem peace walk planned for 31 December
On the last day of the year, peace campaigners plan to walk from Bethlehem to Jerusalem to call for the opening of Jerusalem and an end of the occupation. Organised by the heads of the churches in Jerusalem, the march will end in prayers for peace in the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Saint Anne's Church, before joining other groups to form a human ring around the Old City. The president of Pax Christi International, Mgr. Michel Sabbah, with other priests and religious will lead the march. A spokesman said: "In announcing these demands to the world, we wish to express our deep-felt commitment to end the suffering and violence, and to work for a peace marked by justice and reconciliation." A special logo depicting an olive tree has been chosen for the day. Many taking part will hold olive branches. There will be moments of silence to commemorate those who have died in the past year. At the Lion's Gate, balloons will be released carrying messages and prayers from people around the world. Walkers will hand out texts in Arabic, English en Hebrew to explain the march's aims and non-violent nature. The Christian community in the Holy Land have planned several other events over the Christmas period. On Sunday, 23 December a Christmas tree will be decorated at Orient House in Jerusalem. On Christmas Day, there will be a candle lit processions in Beit Sahour Bethlehem and Jerusalem.

"We started a band because we believed in ourselves," says Monks, "and we believed in Music--almost like it was a religion."
That whole-hearted, delusional blind faith is what brings any musician to a point of both contention and success: you do not care, but you care so much it hurts. The reality of today's industry is long-cycle touring, frivolous press duties, tweets by the handful that paint life wealthier than it is and a mouth of Ramen, but what differs today is that those who pursue a band do it because they really, really need to. There's no promise of an easy, stress-free future. The feeling is intrinsic, an obsession that cannot be traded in for a bigger bankroll. In the last six years of "being drenched in the Toronto music scene," Dilly Dally found inspiration while doing the early 20's struggle of "working shit jobs, being in debt, partying too much and hustling in a band." When you rely on music for anything but love, it spits you out like poison and Dilly Dally are aware of this.
Dilly Dally's debut album Sore is heavy and melodic. The record has nods to Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Distillers, and even The Pogues. Monks calls it "All that and a bag of weed." After years of rotating members (Ball and Monks have traded out three drummers and bassists), they have settled with Benjamin Reinhartz and Jimmy Tony. The combination resulted in a debut that sweeps the listener along into Monks' psyche, as she screams in a coarse holler that chameleons, sliding in cadence and scale. Monks paints pictures of snakes crawling out of her head, while Ball adds simple, sparkling guitar leads that cut through the wall of fuzz and pedals. Reinhartz's drumming is instinctual, driving forward, while Jimmy Tony carries the melody along with his simple and effective bass lines. Dilly Dally plays like one person, a unit that works to infect the audience. After a few choice singles and a 7", the band's debut is strong work, due in part to production from Josh Korody (Fucked Up, Greys) and Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Austra, Dusted).
"Josh literally introduced me to pedals," admits Monks. "He is obsessed with guitar sounds and helped us carve out the textures we wanted for our songs. Leon is great at looking at the big picture. Giving the songs what they need, and bringing clarity to the moments that needed it. Making that record was just six friends working our asses off together, having fun, and having serious talks about life and shit."
Sore is a dynamic album that rarely lets up. The pop sensibilities shine through the noise. This is what makes Dilly Dally feel like an updated version of the quiet-loud-quiet simplicity coined by the Pixies and mimicked by Nirvana's fleet. The opening track "Desire" details a great sexual release, while instant hits like "Purple Rage," "Next Gold," and "Snake Head" challenge menstruation, self-reinvention after heart break and band dynamics – and Canadian cigarettes. Sore is a youthful, charmingly green manifesto that grabs the listener even further with the guidance of a lyric sheet.
"Lyrics are so, so important to me," says Monks. "But singing them clearly is not close to as important to me as the feeling of the vocal performance." As a young music lover, Monks loved having to research the lyrics of the band she loved, digging through to find out what her icon was actually talking about, never fully knowing. "The lyrics are often more like me talking to one of my best friends. Passing on important messages that I think they should know about. Music has always been my best friend, so our songs are meant to be that for someone else."
With choice reviews from Pitchfork, FADER and Noisey as well as commendable performances at festivals like CMJ and NXNE and a growing fan base outside of their Canadian east coast home, Ball and Monks are ready to embark on tour and figure out the ropes along side their bandmates, who have been around the block a million times over in their previous projects.
"Music, to me, is a cultural conversation happening all the time – and I wanna be a part of it. Listen to what others are saying, and respond...it all connects to what is going on in the world. We came from the suburbs with complete naivety, and blind faith in our dreams," says Monks. "We still have that blind faith, I guess. Perhaps, we are less naive."
The result of that experiment can be heard on the duo's new record 'Bleuets', where they showcase their brand of catchy, droney, post-punk songs that hook heavily into a psych-garage sound.
Think Kim Deal fronting the Velvet Underground, or Mary Timony jamming with Suicide. And while that initial Pink Floyd cover has yet to surface, many more Expanda Fuzz releases are planned for 2017.

MERSEYSIDE'S crumbling hospitals face a #100 million repairs bill that shames the NHS, the ECHO can reveal.
Today the government confirmed an enormous backlog in funding for vital maintenance to the regions hospital.
And bosses at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital admit that their building is "not equipped for the 21st century".
In Liverpool alone the backlog in the 12 months to last April was #35.3 million - up from #32.6 million the previous year.
And in Knowsley and St Helens, the backlog bill has TRIPLED from #8.09 million to #25.1 million, while in Sefton it has almost DOUBLED from #10.6 million to #20.2 million.
Such figures undermine ministerial claims that it is tackling the shocking state of older hospitals while investing billions of pounds more on new units nationwide.
Liverpool Riverside MP Louise Ellman said: "We have to catch up with the neglect of the past and provide patients with decent facilities and wards."
West Derby's Bob Wareing said: "Patients are suffering the result of decades of under investment by the Tories but we do need to accelerate the programme of repairs."
More than #55 million is being spent at Broadgreen and #200 million at St Helens and Knowsley.
But the Royal is a building which was designed in the 60s and opened in 1976 - more than 35 years ago.
Brian Goodinson, spokesman for the Royal, said: "We are facing a real battle to keep up with the general maintenance.
"The main problems are structural and we are addressing them as and when we can. It is an ongoing problem.
"As fast as we maintain one thing, something else happens.
"At the moment, the building is not sufficient to provide the kind of services expected for the 21st century."
A spokeswoman for St Helens and Knowsley Hospital Trust said: "Within St Helens and Knowsley, the project to redevelop their health services at a cost of over #200 million, will see the demolition of outdated buildings, the creation of a new modern facilities and the utilation of existing buildings which are in good condition.
"This scheme will virtually eradicate any backlog maintenance."
The Liberal Democrats said the figures showed a "horrendous" neglect of some hospital premises.
Health spokesman Evan Harris said: "The Government promised to do something to address this backlog and it's got worse.
"Patients need to be reassured that they are being treated in a health service fit for the 21st century."
In Wirral it has increased from #8.877 million to #10.547 million.
But in South Lancashire it has dropped from #4.855 million to #3.095 million and in North Cheshire it has dipped from #3.201 million to #3.143 million. A spokesman for Wirral hospitals said: "The trusts are responsible for the upkeep of some of the district's largest public buildings.
"In recent years, the re-provision of services from older facilities to new or re-modernised buildings has dramatically reduced the amount spent on maintenance."

Hi John,
Your John is indexed in the Vital records deaths as JOHN MASSON
Quebec, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 about John Masson
Name: John Masson
Event: Enterrement (Burial)
Burial Year: 1871

The fourteenth day of June, 1871, the undersigned Parish priest interred in the cemetery of St. Joseph of Huntingdon, the body of John Massam, husband of Agnes Hampson, deceased two days previous, aged one hundred and 10 years, of this Parish. Present Peter Brady and Patrick Solan who did not sign.
So the 1871 census says John was 100 years old and this says 110 years ??
But wife's name is correct with what you show. Too bad it does not mention parents names.
I haven't found a death for Agnes yet.

Sept. 2009: G-Man and I got married. We were expecting problems because of his past history of cancer. However, we naively thought that God would just work a miracle for us.
Oct. 2009-Sept 2010: Many prayers, tears and pregnancy tests to no avail. Realize cycles are a bit long, around 32 days.
Aug. 2010: My best friend, Sk, conceives. I'm happy but heartbroken. They had been married 2 months.
Sept 2010: It is one year of "unprotected" intercourse and I know how fertility problems are defined! I start feeling weird and really believe that this is the month! AF comes exactly on CD 28 for the 1st time. I'm crushed.
Oct. 2010: Sk miscarries. My period doesn't come. BFN over and over again! I find a family doctor; Doc. G
Nov. 2010: Cycle lasts 59 days: Sept 18th- Nov. 16th. We hold off more tests.
Dec. 2010: AF doesn't come. Doc. G orders an ultrasound saying, "Sometimes pregnancy is hard to find." I am hopeful but going CRAZY!!! Christmas is very difficult; mom won't let the idea of a grandchild go.
Jan. 2011: AF arrives, CD 56. Test results back, no visible problems. Normal cycles return. I start charting temperature. Sk pregnant again. I am authentically happy for her!
Feb. 2011: CrMS presentation at my house. Meet the FC Practioner. Go to Theology of the Body Course in PA.
Mar. 2011: G-Man diagnosed with skin cancer. This is his third cancer. We put off starting CrMS.
May 2011: We start CrMS. I have another long cycle, 54 days, but because of charting I know I am not pregnant.
Summer 2011: We start tests slowly. We discover there are going to be problems with me as well as G-Man
Sept- Nov 2011: looks like PMS, throid problems and low progesterone may be involved. We confirm that I am ovulating. G-Man's final surgery. Another long cycle. Badly sprained inside ligament of left knee.
Nov 2011: Find out G-Man has no sperm. Deep mourning and soul seaching.


text: I was surprised with this guitar for Christmas by my grandparents. Before I even played it, I knew it was a decent guitar by the look. When I played it, the big dreadnought body produced a loud, beautiful sound. I LOVED it! It immediately impressed me and I fell in love with this $300 guitar. I soon put Elixir custom gauge .1152 Polyweb 80-20 bronze strings on it, and it sounded even better. I can guarantee that you will most likely enjoy this guitar. So strap up, start pickin' and have fun!!

A bit of Scandinavian myth and legend, some sagas, chuck in a bit of Scottish mythology and maybe a dash of real history. Don't take the theme too seriously,do treat the game mechanism with seriousness and avoid pomposity, oops, blown that already.
I started with the board / map / playing surface.
The board was inspired by stain glass seen on various holidays and, in particular, this image:
I found it on the web somewhere, but haven't been able to find it again to reference it (if it's yours, let me know so I can credit you, link properly or remove it if you are unhappy with it being here). The colours here are too dark and strong to be a background for playing pieces, so anything I produced would need to be lighter and with less intense colours.
Also, the idea I had was of a blending of the Icelandic, Scottish and Scandinavian lands and islands to make composite continents This map shows something similar to what I imagined:
|Source image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Septentrionales.jpg
But messed with in combination like this:
This led to the first board:

Hi Joan,
I know it's hard (and will be at first) but I definitely agree with Jeannie here - he needs to look after his own meal plan (even if it means you still want to cook it). Diabetes is all about taking control yourself. I'm also with a 'Mr Fussy' as Jeannie puts it (lol) so I can sympathise with you a little!
I use this:
Its an online source for tons of stuff that really actually tastes good! And they don't have hidden agenda's to sell you exercise equipment, meal plans or all sorts of nonsense!!
