This is the first moc we built after discovering Bricklink, which made it easy to acquire the elements needed. It took ages to dust and figure out where all the sections went ( we were not taking photo's at that time ).
About this creation
This was the first part of our town, it now forms part of the industrial area together with the warehouse and container yard. The large oil store's are prone to exploding it's quite funny when one goes.

Exceptional! I think that the detail is remarkable. Allan, or anyone else that may know, can you tell me what pieces made up the wall(s) of the large oil storage tanks? Wonderful refinery and very inspirational!!
4x3, 2x3 panels, 12x2 plates, 4x2 plates and a load of elastic bands inside holding the whole thing together in tension, thats why they are prone to exploding. a better solution and less stressful to the brick is the one used in my gas works. 5x6 panels held together with plate hinges.

I can't begin to tell you how great this is. I live near a power substation that I always think I should try to Lego-fy, and it's full of mysterious apparatus and greebly structures, all very impressive and industrial-looking, just like this. The specifics are different, but the overall efect is just the same. Outstanding!

Crichton enters the hospital hallway, having changed into jeans, a white tee, and a black sweat jacket. He suddenly stops and whistles knowingly, then says, "Won't get fooled again!" as the camera pans over to reveal the door to the women's bathroom. We have a title! He swings the door open and marches in just as a woman in a pink robe steps out of a stall. The woman does not approve. Crichton apologizes, "Thought it was co-ed," and exits. As he leaves, we hear the woman say, "Co-ed? What planet are you from?" "Not this one," Crichton mutters, and walks on. He borrows a newspaper from a passersby in the hall and looks over the headlines. "'Gator Victim Number Six.'" Wow, I bet Baltar's gonna go all Captain Hook now. Crichton continues, "Last week it was five. They're getting the details right." He walks on, opening the paper so that we can see that it's the Orlando Herald. The killer gator story takes up the whole front page. Slow week in Orlando.
Crichton finally reaches the snazziest waiting room ever, lined with huge windows opening onto a nice view of the coast. Pa is there, and Crichton apologizes for his behavior. Pa waves that aside, saying, "You've been through a lot. I lost it myself when your mother died." The piano of foreboding plinks as Crichton stares at Pa. The foreboding is interrupted by DK, who greets Crichton by calling, "Papa Bear!" Oh my. Crichton feigns delight and kind of rolls his eyes as he says, "Hey, you made it this time!" And he got a new hairstyle. Well, I guess it has been a week. DK and Pa exposition about the crash a bit. Crichton's bored with the whole scenario, and with a shrug asks what DK wants him to do. DK says that Aeryn wants Crichton to get a psychiatric evaluation from one Doctor Cominsky.
Cut to a dark office lined with bookcases. Crichton stands next to a shiny fan as he eyes some diplomas on the wall. He mutters that it's warm, and then sits at the desk. He picks up the phone and dials, then starts rooting through the desk drawer as he says, "I'd like to order a pizza. Um, medium. Deluxe." He moves the phone away from his mouth and mutters, "These guys are good." We hear a door close, and Crichton stares as Zhaan enters. She's still blue, and still bald, but she's wearing a shiny suit over a white blouse. Because she's Dr. Cominsky now. She approaches the desk and Crichton stops goggling long enough to say, "Zhaan." She asks if that's a name or an adjective. He hangs up the phone and says it's a name as he gets up and crosses the room. Crichton pours herself a glass of water from a handy pitcher and confirms that she's a psychiatrist. He sniffs, "I don't think so. On earth, psychiatrists don't come in blue." Zhaan sits on the edge of her desk and asks, "Do you have a problem with people of color?" Heh. Crichton explains, "I have a contextual problem. You're an alien." Zhaan cops to that, but notes, "I do have a green card."

What's the Pascal way to do C's #include "code.h"
, Python's import code
, etc.?
Pascal uses
to import other modules. |
While you can explicitly {$INCLUDE a file it's rarely done other than for configuration files containing compiler switches. The only time I've ever done it was long ago when I wanted two versions of the code identical except one used coprocessor-only datatypes and the other didn't. (And how many people these days even know that single and double types used to require either an expensive additional chip or a slow emulator?) If you include the same code in two places you will get two copies of it in your .EXE. If you include the same type definition in two places you'll get two types with the same name and since Pascal uses strict typing they will not match. The normal mechanic is as Greg Hewgill says, to use the file you want. Anything that appears in the interface of the file you use is visible, anything that's only in the implementation is not visible. This is an all-or-nothing process, you don't specify what you are bringing in. Think of the C# using command. Unlike the C# version it's absolutely mandatory. You can't use fully qualified names to get around it. |

Definition of polynucleotide in English:
Line breaks: poly|nucleo|tidePronunciation: /pɒlɪˈnjuːklɪətʌɪd
Biochemistry- A linear polymer whose molecule is composed of many nucleotide units, constituting a section of a nucleic acid molecule.More example sentences
- The statement that functional polynucleotides (nucleic acids) can spontaneously form is equivalent to the statement that the ink and paper of a printed page can organize themselves into a meaningful text.
- DNA, which is the genetic material of chromosomes, consists of two complementary polynucleotides coiled into a double helix.
- Only a few studies have been published on DNA or other polynucleotides in reverse micelles.

It is proved that oscillations of the analytic solution are preserved by the Runge-Kutta method. Special interpolation functions of the numerical solutions are given. It turns out that zeros of the interpolation function of the numerical solution converge to ones of the analytic solution with the same order of accuracy as that of the corresponding Runge-Kutta method.

Atlanta is interesting because it is a US city that has streets named 12th, 13th, 14th etc, but the numbers don't match. Causes much angst in tourists, particularly as this occurs in a prime tourist area.
The fact that street names change has a more interesting historical explanation, stemming from segregation.
Where I grew up in Sydney, a house on one side of the street was numbered 579 while the house across the street was 485 or so. That also caused much confusion.

A federal appeals court today overturned the FCC's fine on CBS resulting from Janet Jackson's "wardrobe malfunction" in which her breast was exposed during her Superbowl halftime appearance.
CBS says it hopes the FCC will now revert to its past policy of "restrained indecency enforcement." But then this whole "Nipplegate" episode was much ado about nothing anyway because it wasn't like CBS planned the whole thing, accidents do happen. I agree with the court's decision.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit said the Federal Communications Commission had "arbitrarily and capriciously departed from its prior policy" that exempted fleeting broadcast material from actionable indecency violations.
Like any agency, the FCC may change its policies without judicial second-guessing. But it cannot change a well- established course of action without supplying notice of and a reasoned explanation for its policy departure," Chief Judge Anthony Scirica wrote for the three-judge panel that heard the case.

My very first milling!
Yes, I know that this is trivial but it was still cool nonetheless. I went to my LHBS to gather ingredients for my CCA. One of the ingredients was 60L carmel. So, I got to mill my own grains for the very first time. The smell was so awesome! I loved the fact that I could smell my freshly milled grains all the way home too.
Of course the SWMBO and daughter dont think it smells as wonderful as I do. :rockin: Cant wait to start this new brew! -Me |
I think I'll always love that smell. I always chew a few grains too. Brewing is just varsity cooking. You have to know and experience the ingrediants.
I find it odd when people don't like the smell of grain or mashing. Smells amazing to me. Kinda like bread really.
My son has come to enjoy the smell and very shortly after I bring in milled grain from the garage in what I thought were sealed buckets, he asks me if I am brewing and if he can do anything to help. He's eight. I hope to have started him early! :D
My soon to be ex-wife hated it. Oh well...I am better off! :rockin: :tank: |
ohhhh, I love that smell. My local home brew store (Beer and Wine Makers Pantry) Has the grain mill and all. Man, the smell of freshly cracked grain is so nice.
My wife thinks it smells like a barn. I think it smells like inspiration.
I love the smell of mashing grain, the company I work for is about 50 yards from Boulder Brewing Co. I love when I am at work and the smell of mashing grains starts wafting into my building, followed a bit later by boiling wort and hops!
when I did my first brew Sat. the smells of the grains and the hops made me believe I'm going to like this hobby. Next Step AG
Speaking of which, I stopped by and picked up the ingredients for a simple extract brew that I am doing tomorrow. Got a pound of 20L for steeping but noticed when I got home it hasnt been milled. Any suggestions?

The Cisco 5940 Embedded Services Routers (ESRs) are optimized for mobile and embedded networks that require IP routing and services. Photo courtesy of Cisco.
Cisco has introduced the 5940 Embedded Services Router (ESR), a high-performance, ruggedized router optimized for mobile and embedded networks requiring IP (Internet Protocol) routing and services, the company announced.
The Cisco 5940 ESR establishes a scalable mobile network in first-responder vehicles, armored vehicles, and passenger and freight rail trains. The network extends organizational resources with a high degree of security to employees in the field within the public safety, transportation, construction, mining and defense markets.
"Defense and first-responder users have been demanding enterprise capabilities in the field for many years," according to Greg Giaquinto, senior aerospace and defense analyst with Forecast International. "With the Cisco 5940 Embedded Services Router and Mobile Ready Net capabilities, these users now have access to functionality, security and flexibility, without centralized network infrastructure."
The 5940 ESR is designed for use in harsh environments and, according to Cisco, offers reliable operation in extreme temperatures and under shock and vibration conditions typical for mobile applications in rugged terrain. The 5900 Series router product line includes Cisco IOS Software and Cisco Mobile Ready Net capabilities to provide highly secure data, voice and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes across wired and wireless links.
The Cisco 5940 ESR's four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and Cisco IOS Software feature set enable bandwidth-intensive applications in mobile or embedded networks.
The Cisco 5940 ESR is a 3U (100x160mm) CompactPCI router card that is available in both air- and conduction-cooled models.
Cisco has an ecosystem of partners and systems integrators that embed Cisco 5900 Series Router cards into industry-standard, commercially available enclosures and custom enclosures, tailored to the unique environments in which these routers are deployed.

Adrian Hunt finds it hard to suppress the occasional chuckle when he talks about his scientific expertise.

The well-dressed Englishman and director of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science is used to smirks and lapses into toilet humor that come with his fascination for what he says is an important and understudied area of paleontology: coprolites, the fossilized waste of prehistoric animals.

But let's call these unusually shaped rocks what they really are: dinosaur poop.

"These are the Rodney Dangerfields of fossils — they get no respect," Hunt said, fingering a mounted replica of one of his favorite coprolites, which he keeps on his desk. "Our vision is to establish a geologic time scale out of coprolites, and we've actually been able to start one in the early Permian period (about 290 million years ago), but there's a lot of work to be done."

Hunt is one of a handful of coprolite experts in the field of paleontology. Establishing a time scale from prehistoric dung could do a lot to legitimize his field, because, he said, coprolites are far more common in the geologic record than their counterparts — bones.

"You only have one body, but over a lifetime that body produces many, many coprolites," Hunt said. "In some cases, you find coprolites all over, but you don't find any bones. Having a time scale based on coprolites could help us date those rocks and know more about who was living there."

Hunt is off to a good start. He doesn't have a count of all the coprolite specimens, but he estimates they number in the hundreds. And, with so few museums collecting them, Hunt suspects Albuquerque is home to the world's largest coprolite collection.

More collecting and labeling remains before a complete time scale is possible, he said.

"I call it 'coprostratigraphy,' " said Spencer Lucas, the museum's paleontology curator. "In principle, you should be able to do make a time scale from them, although that sort of time scale isn't as good as one that uses bones. The problem with coprolites is linking them to what I like to call the perpetrator. The holy grail of coprolite research is trying to figure out who made them."

Studying the shape of coprolites gives some clue of the type of animal that made them, although the range is typically broad, Lucas and Hunt said.

The shape also tells scientists about the internal structure of their creators.

"Animals produce fecal matter, and sometimes those are very uniquely shaped," Hunt said. "If you know what those shapes are and what they mean, you can really tell when and where that animal lived."

When waste leaves the body of a shark or fish, for example, it is spun around in a unique way and produces coil-shaped dung, Hunt explained.

"Some coils go one way, some go the other; some have coils on one side and not on the other," he said. "You can tell all sorts of things about the animals that made them."

Dung from meat-eaters is more common than that of plant-eaters, because bacteria and insects tend to eat the dung of plant eaters, but meat-eater dung is too toxic for them, so it tends to remain on the ground longer, he said.

"You can tell coprolites from some meat-eaters because they have fish scales or little pieces of bone in them," Hunt said. "You can also potentially tell the difference between a warm-blooded and cold-blooded animal by the coprolite."

Warm-blooded mammals, such as cats and dogs, feed every day and have fast metabolisms. Cold-blooded animals, such as snakes, eat once a month or so and have slow metabolisms.

"One of the hardest things in the world to dissolve is tooth enamel," Hunt said. "So if you look for teeth in the waste, if they went through a mammal you'll find lots of enamel. But if they went through a cold-blooded animal and were digested for a long time, there's very little enamel left."

Coprolites are a subset of the broader field of bromalites, which have equally embarrassing origins, Hunt added.

"There's also fossil vomit," he said. "I've coined those regurgitalites. And sometimes digested food stays in the intestines when an animal dies, and we call those cololites. Those two and coprolites make up the larger field of bromalites."

Hunt hopes to find more amateur paleontologists and students willing to work with him to collect samples, study the details about and develop his coprolite time scale.

To find the field's lack of respect you need look no further than the museum's display cases — despite its large collection, there's only one coprolite on display. It matches the model on Hunt's desk and a few select models on sale in the museum's gift shop.

"It really is a beautiful sample of a Cretaceous (144 to 65 million year old) coprolite," he said. "In fact, when I give talks about coprolites, sometimes people will buy the replicas and ask me to sign them. I consider that an honor."

Do we need to royals? Time to farewell the monarchy
Republican Movement member Roger Hey puts the case for improving New Zealand's democracy by having a New Zealander as our head of State on Stuff:
I've just read a Stuff Nation article which said the monarchy was part of New Zealand's identity. True, it's part of our heritage, but to an increasing number of us, it's not important. Rather, it's a burden and stands in the way of us taking responsibility for running our own country.
An increasing number of Kiwis come from backgrounds not identified with Britain, and to whom the British Monarchy is a curiosity.
Many countries in the Commonwealth have renounced the British monarch as Head of State. There are over 50 nations in the Commonwealth, two have their own monarch, (Tonga and Swaziland), 16 acknowledge the British Queen as Head of State like New Zealand, and by far the majority have full democracy.
It's time we joined the Commonwealth members who have their own Head of State, and introduced full democracy here. We could chose an active Head of State like the Presidents of the USA and France, or a passive one like Germany or Ireland. If we chose a passive Head of State, that person would act much as the Governor-General does now, but without the reference to the Queen.
That's the kind of New Zealand/Aotearoa I want. We would have full democracy and run the country ourselves. Then we'll feel it's ours, we have a full say on life here. A person from one of our many cultures could become our Head of State.
Let's get rid of elitism and privilege, of people living off us, of people making decisions we could be making ourselves.
Let's run our own country. Let's choose someone who represents us and can speak for us. Roll on full democracy.

In my professional writing life I have achieved the most success writing erotica, specifically stories dealing with some sort of a dominance/submission scenario. I have been published throughout the world and am very proud of the sheer amount of stuff I have published. I say this not to brag but as a statement of fact. It is thrilling that what I coddle as fantasies can indeed make me some money and gain me status in my career. I am truly a man blessed.
What follows are stories about women, "naughty girls" actually, receiving their comeuppance from best friends, boyfriends, husbands, one time even a large group of other women. Yes, this is a running fantasy of mine: women being spanked, swatted, canned, tortured in all manner of ways until they sweat an orgasm, or are denied one. My fantasies have never involved coercion so there is none here, but there is persuading and there is retribution. The 'naughty girls' in these stories all learn the value of a good spanking or how sweet it is to ache for one. As has been my experience in life, submission, punishments, humiliation can wield some interesting, sometimes painful, but often spectacular results (like I said, I am a man blessed). Those engaged; the spanker and spank-ee, the whip wielder and the receiving bottom, can and often do learn so much about themselves ... and have a hell of a lot of fun in the process.
I hope you have a 'hell of a lot of fun' reading this book.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Second presidential terms are never easy — even for George Washington.
More often, they're fraught with peril, frequently marred by scandal, failure, hubris, and burnout, and souring relations with Congress.
President Barack Obama acknowledges the dangers of overreach but vows to steer cautiously. The odds are against him.
He's the 20th U.S. president to serve all or parts of two terms. Most of the others have encountered setbacks and frustrations.
He's also the third in a row to win a second four-year term. Both predecessors stumbled.
President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House over lying about an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, although the Senate declined to remove him from office. President George W. Bush failed to get a big Social Security overhaul through Congress and was slammed for his handling of Hurricane Katrina and growing voter anxiety over the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
From Inauguration Day, a second term president's influence and power begin to ebb.
''It's called fatigue, people burn out. Typically, the top people are recruited for the first term. For the second term, you kind of go to the bench,'' said Ross Baker, a political science professor at Rutgers University. ''It's a little less illustrious than the starting lineup. You're going to get more people perhaps a little less sure-footed. That's putting it, perhaps, mildly.''
There's something of a political Continental Divide with second terms. At some point everybody's attention starts flowing in the other direction as those in both parties start shifting their focus to the next election.
Also, Obama sets out against a backdrop of looming new fiscal showdowns that will come to a head in March — another battle over the debt limit, mandatory spending cuts postponed from January and the expiration of spending authority for the entire government.
And some of his top second-term goals such as immigration and tax-code overhaul, gun control and climate-change legislation come as grim budget realities cast a long shadow over what he can accomplish.
History is littered with troubled second terms.
Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace. Ronald Reagan's second term was marred by the Iran-Contra guns-for-hostages scandal.
Even George Washington, the nation's revered first president, had an ugly second term.
His backing of the Jay Treaty expanding trade ties with Revolutionary War foe Britain divided the nation. Many leaders — including future president Thomas Jefferson — challenged Washington. Jefferson called the treaty a ''monument of folly.'' Angry crowds gathered outside Washington's house and talk simmered of impeachment.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was able to win four terms but had a tumultuous second one despite a 1936 re-election landslide. His effort to expand and pack the Supreme Court with ideological allies was soundly rebuffed by Congress. And Democrats suffered mightily in the 1938 midterms.
Since Roosevelt's day, presidents have been constitutionally limited to two terms. The downside for victorious incumbents: being unable to run again limits a second-term president's clout, lessening the ability to reward allies or thwart political foes and hastening lame-duck status.
But second terms don't have to be failures — and Obama won't necessarily succumb.
William Galston, a domestic policy adviser in the second Clinton administration, said the notion of a second-term jinx or curse is an over-simplification because ''a lot of presidents have trouble in their first terms'' and don't get re-elected. And second-term achievements — such as Clinton's — need to be weighed along with setbacks, he said.
Galston also suggested some things may be easier for Obama in his second term given the dynamics of his re-election victory — such as immigration and tax-code overhaul. He's already gotten Congress — post-election — to raise taxes on the wealthiest Americans, something he couldn't do earlier.
Clinton's second term? ''I would judge it as an incomplete success. And its incompleteness is largely his own fault,'' said Galston, now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
In his book, ''Presidential Power in Troubled Second Terms,'' presidential scholar Alfred Zacher concluded that only one president had a truly better second term than his first: James Madison, president from 1809-1817.
In Madison's first term, the still-new nation was drawn back into armed conflict with Britain in the War of 1812. But in Madison's second term , the U.S. scored a dramatic victory in the Battle of New Orleans and the war ended with the Treaty of Ghent. Madison's popularity surged.
Seven others had OK second terms despite setbacks, Zacher wrote, most recently Dwight Eisenhower, Reagan and Clinton.
Reagan, despite Iran-Contra, oversaw a major 1986 simplification of the tax code and the unraveling of the Soviet Union in his second term. Clinton learned how to reach across the aisle to deal with Republicans on welfare overhaul and deficit reduction and left office with an annual budget surplus — an achievement no other president since Andrew Jackson can claim.
James Thurber, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University, said that by the end of a first term, ''The American people have gotten to know the president very well. The enthusiasm of his first election is long gone. That limits the possibility of great success in the second term.''
Also, presidents who were just re-elected can get overconfident from their victories, see their elections as a ''mandate'' to push their agendas, start believing re-election campaign hype and surround themselves with many burned-out senior staffers and inexperienced younger ones, suggests Kenneth M. Duberstein, who was Reagan's chief of staff.
''Add to this too much communal drinking from the same Kool-Aid, and it is a recipe for disaster for any second-term president,'' Duberstein wrote. ''All of us who have served in second-term White Houses have seen this witch's brew.''
President George W. Bush claimed ''political capital'' from his 2004 re-election win and ''I intend to spend it.'' But it was a losing investment. He got little done in his second term.
Thomas Cronin, a political science professor at Colorado College, said Obama's time to wield influence is limited and he needs strike quickly.
A year or two into a president's second term, ''people say, well, let's just wait this guy out,'' Cronin said.'' That's why the next six to ten months are so crucial.''

Examining Washington Redskins' Offseason and Key Preseason Positional Battles
By Justin Onslow ,
Patience is a virtue. For the Washington Redskins, patience is what this offseason has been all about.
After trading away much of their 2013 draft in acquiring Robert Griffin III last year, the Redskins weren't expected to make a big splash in late April. With only two picks in the top 100 and no first-round selection, Washington would walk away from the draft with a solid class with considerable upside, but very little to be overly excited about.
But just as Washington was without many options in the draft, it also had a difficult salary cap situation to deal with following the NFL's ruling to strip the team of $36 million in cap space over the last two seasons. As reported by Rich Campbell of the Washington Times, the Redskins currently have just $1.4 million in salary cap space following offseason dealings.
As a result of their cap situation, the Redskins didn't make many big moves in free agency. General manager Bruce Allen kept things in-house for the most part, re-signing players like cornerback DeAngelo Hall and tight end Fred Davis to facilitate as much continuity as possible following a successful 2012 campaign.
Again, patience has been key. Allen would have probably loved to make some additional signings to build on last year's success, but it simply wasn't in the cards.
Still, the Redskins are in position to make even bigger strides in 2013. Provided Griffin can make a full recovery from surgery to repair his ACL and LCL to take the helm from Week 1 this season, there's no reason to believe Washington can't top its 10-win mark of a season ago.
With the league's best rushing attack in place—headed by Alfred Morris and his 1,613-yard rookie campaign—and an explosive dual-threat quarterback in Griffin, Washington won't have problems scoring points this season. The biggest question mark, however, is the team's defense.
The Redskins fielded the No. 28 defense in the NFL in 2012—a unit that surrendered 377.7 yards and 24.3 points per game. Without the ability to make many impactful defensive signings this offseason, that defense will have a lot of questions to answer in 2013.
Allen did what he could in the draft to augment some of those issues, though. Four of the Redskins' seven selections went toward defensive players, including Washington's second-round selection in cornerback David Amerson and fourth-round safety Phillip Thomas.
We'll take a closer look at the Redskins' 2013 draft class, as well as some additional offseason dealings and positions to watch as the 2013 season draws near.
Round 2 (Pick 51): CB David Amerson, North Carolina State
Round 3 (Pick 85): TE Jordan Reed, Florida
Round 4 (Pick 119): S Phillip Thomas, Fresno State
Round 5 (Pick 154): RB Chris Thompson, Florida State
Round 5 (Pick 162): DE Brandon Jenkins, Florida State
Round 6 (Pick 191): S Bacarri Rambo, Georgia
Round 7 (Pick 228): RB Jawan Jamison, Rutgers
Grade: C+
Granted, the Redskins were without a first-round pick this year. But with seven selections and plenty of positions to address, it was a bit of a surprise to see Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan use two picks on running backs.
Then again, Shanahan has a propensity for employing a deep stable of running backs year in and year out. Still, with Evan Royster and Roy Helu still on the roster, using fifth- and seventh-round selections on running backs was unconventional at best, though Shanahan deserves a little slack after finding Morris in the sixth round last year.
There isn't much to dislike about the tandem's first three picks, though. Washington was in desperate need of another starting-quality cornerback opposite the re-signed DeAngelo Hall, and North Carolina State's David Amerson may fit the bill.
Amerson didn't have a great 2012 season with the Wolfpack, but he does have the size, speed and ball skills to be a tremendous playmaker at the NFL. With a little coaching and some time to develop, Amerson could easily be a solid building block in Washington's secondary.
Likewise, fourth-round safety Phillip Thomas and sixth-round safety Bacarri Rambo could see considerable playing time this season. The Redskins fielded the No. 30 passing defense in the league last season, and no roster spot should be considered safe at this point.
Thomas was expected to be a mid-round selection—and Washington did well to match value with need to acquire him—but Rambo may have been the best selection the Redskins made on draft day, both from talent and value perspectives.
The Georgia product shined at the Senior Bowl in January and some expected that performance to propel him into Day 2 discussion. Ultimately, off-field issues while in college forced his slide down the draft board and into the sixth round.
But Rambo is a tremendous talent, and as long as Shanahan can keep him in line at the NFL level, the safety could prove to be one of the biggest steals of the entire 2013 draft.
Third-round tight end Jordan Reed will add some much-needed depth behind Fred Davis and Logan Paulsen, but where need and value are concerned, the Redskins probably could have gone another direction with the 85th pick. In any case, Reed certainly adds some intriguing upside to a group of targets that should be an improvement of the 2012 incarnation the Redskins fielded.
In all, Allen and Shanahan filled a couple big holes and added quite a bit of potential to the roster, but there wasn't much about their draft class that would suggest the duo went above and beyond what was expected on draft day.
Many expected Washington to target a wide receiver with one of its early-round draft picks this year, and while the Redskins failed to address the position in late April, it also wasn't really necessary.
With a healthy Pierre Garcon back on the field this season, as well as veteran receiver Santana Moss and third-year wideout Leonard Hankerson, the Redskins have a solid core in place for the 2013 season.
Along with the team's leading trio of targets, Josh Morgan and former New Orleans Saints receiver Devery Henderson round out a group that boasts talent, depth and upside at the position.
Henderson was a recent free-agent acquisition, who, along with Donte' Stallworth, will add another veteran presence and give Robert Griffin III another deep threat to take advantage of. What looked like a potentially weak group heading into the offseason suddenly doesn't look so thin.
Granted, Stallworth isn't the 40-plus-cath-per-season target he once was—nor is Moss a 1,000-yard receiver at this point in his career—but there's something to be said for the depth Washington has accrued with very little cap space this offseason.
With Aldrick Robinson and Dezmon Briscoe also included on the list, the Redskins shouldn't struggle with providing targets for Griffin. The only issue is figuring out where they all fit.
Garcon missed six games last season, but when healthy, he's far and away Washington's top receiving threat. In 10 games last season, the former Indianapolis Colts standout recorded 44 catches for 633 yards and four touchdowns, and won't be in any danger of losing his No. 1 role this offseason.
Hankerson, a 2011 third-round selection, pieced together a solid 2012 campaign with 543 yards and three touchdowns. With a terrific blend of size and speed, Hankerson appears to be the versatile target on which the Redskins can rely opposite Garcon. Unless something unforeseen happens prior to the season, Garcon and Hankerson will be Griffin's top targets in 2013.
But beyond Washington's top-two pass-catching weapons, the depth chart gets a little murkier. Josh Morgan could split some time with Hankerson as the team's No. 2 after catching 48 passes for 510 yards and two touchdowns last season. Morgan has been extremely inconsistent in his five-year career, but he's also a better blocker than Hankerson—something Mike Shanahan loves from his starting wideouts.
At 34, Moss is likely to continue seeing a decline in snaps, mostly from the slot. While he hauled in eight touchdowns in 2012, it's unlikely he comes anywhere close to that production this season.
Perhaps the most intriguing receiver to watch, however, is Robinson.
Arguably the team's best deep-threat option, Robinson posted a 21.5 yards-per-catch average last season and tallied three touchdowns on just 11 receptions. The second-year speedster probably won't crack the top three early in the season, but there's certainly room for a player like Robinson who can take the top off opposing defenses.
It's always good to have options. At this point, it seems Washington has more than enough to field a solid receiving corps in 2013.

Brandon Meriweather is coming off a torn ACL. E.J. Biggers was a free-agent acquisition. DeAngelo Hall is, well, DeAngelo Hall.
There are some massive question marks surrounding Washington's secondary this offseason, beginning with those three players.
Hall is terrific for what he is—a speedster who can cover an opposing offense's best receiving threat down the field. But Hall also struggles in defending the run and stopping bigger receivers on underneath routes. At the very least, the Redskins know what to expect from their No. 1 cornerback. Where uncertainty is concerned, Hall is near the bottom of the list.
Meriweather's recovering ACL is a bigger concern, though. If the veteran safety is healthy enough to play a full season in 2013, Washington's secondary will be a much stronger unit. Whether that will happen remains to be seen.
Biggers will be competing with Josh Wilson for the starting role opposite Hall, and as quoted by Chris DeLisi of Redskins.com, he's up for the challenge:
We have a great room full of talent, a great team. It's a pleasure and an honor to play with guys like DeAngelo [Hall] and Josh Wilson. It's a great room to be around. It makes you want to compete and be your very best at all times. Coach Morris is amazing. The kind of guy he is. The kind of coach he is. He challenges you to bring out your very best. That's every day. Walking around the hallway, in meetings, all that. Just to know he wants you to bring your best at all times makes me want to work harder each day.
The biggest question involving Biggers will be his ability to transition from Tampa Bay's predominantly man-coverage defensive schemes to Washington's zone-heavy schemes. That's not to suggest Biggers can't make the transition, but it still remains a proving point.
With David Amerson in the mix, though, there won't be a lack of competition at the position. Competition fuels progress, and Washington's group of cornerbacks certainly needs to make a lot of it this offseason.
But as Washington's draft strategy suggested, safety is also an area in which the Redskins simply must get better in 2013. Provided Meriweather is back to full strength, that will be a little easier than expected.
Reed Doughty is the front-runner to retain the starting free safety role, but Phillip Thomas will be pushing him for the job. The Fresno State product may have been a mid-round pick, but he has the ball skills and playmaking ability to surprise some people in his formative years—especially if Washington's secondary struggles with injuries again this season.
Thomas and Rambo don't come without question marks of their own, however. While each is a high-upside option, both players need to work on their recognition skills and tackling ability. Those particular factors could be what ultimately relegates them to reserve and sub-package duties.
The questions are many, but this much should prove true in 2013: With added depth at each secondary position, the Redskins are in much better position to improve a unit that finished near the bottom of the league in 2012.

With Robert Griffin III's health and Alfred Morris' production at stake, the Redskins have to focus on perpetuating a solid offensive line in 2013. Seems obvious, right?
Even more obvious: Continuity is the key to doing that. With all five starters returning this season, that hopefully won't be an issue.
According to Football Outsiders' metrics, Washington's offensive line ranked seventh in the league in run-blocking last season—not much of a surprise given the team's league-leading 2,709 rushing yards in 2012.
But as a pass-blocking unit, Washington's offensive line needs to show improvement this year.
Football Outsiders ranks the Redskins' offensive line as the No. 23 pass-blocking unit in the league in 2012 with an adjusted sack rate of 7.8 percent. While the offensive line allowed just 33 sacks last season (tied for 12th best in the NFL), the Redskins also attempted the third-fewest passes with 442.
For Griffin to remain healthy and on the field in 2013, Washington's pass protection has to get better. Hopefully the continuity provided from fielding five returning starters will help the cause.
Here's what the starting five should look like to begin the season:
LT | Trent Williams |
LG | Kory Lichtensteiger |
C | Will Montgomery |
RG | Chris Chester |
RT | Tyler Polumbus |
But depth may come into question at some point in 2013. Veteran tackles Jeremy Trueblood and Tony Pashos haven't seen much action in recent years, and both are on the wrong side of 30. While neither presents a reason for major concern, the Redskins could certainly use a little more youth backing up the bookend starters.
Tom Compton and Xavier Nixon each provide some youth, but neither has shown enough development to be considered a viable option in backing up either Trent Williams or Tyler Polumbus. As it stands, the offensive tackle positions yield plenty of question marks behind the team's starters.
On the interior of the line, much of the same holds true. Kory Lichtensteiger, Will Montgomery and Chris Chester played tremendously last season, but the depth behind the trio consists of young players with little experience in Josh LeRibeus, Adam Gettis, Maurice Hurt and Tevita Stevens.
It may seem tacit, but avoiding injuries will be paramount to the sustained success of Washington's offensive line this season.
There isn't necessarily much reason to worry about the line in 2013—and it's entirely likely Washington could find a pleasant surprise in one of its backup linemen should a starter go down this year. But with so much at stake, it's easy to be skeptical about the unit's sustained success this season.

*For a complete look at Washington's 2013 schedule, check out NFL.com.
When looking at the 2013 schedule—and taking into account RG3's recovering knee—the words "boom" and "bust" come to mind.
There's really no reason to believe the Redskins can't churn out another 10-plus-win season, especially if Griffin returns to full strength.
But the upcoming slate is also littered with difficult matchups, most notably with the Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers. Paired with division matchups with the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Washington come away from that portion of the schedule with at least three losses.
There are, of course, several matchups in which the Redskins should be heavily favored. But as a whole, the 2013 schedule won't be an easy one to traverse.
Washington proved it can't be overlooked in the NFC East with a division title last year, though, and until New York, Dallas or Philadelphia dethrones the Redskins, they'll be the favorites to repeat the feat this season.
Prediction: 11-5, First in NFC East
Expectations for this season should be tempered given the health concerns of Griffin and the relative uncertainty at the back end of Washington's defense. Realistically, the Redskins could win anywhere from eight to 12 games this year based on the look of their schedule, but expecting more than 11 wins would be a little too optimistic at this point.
Still, the status quo remains unchanged. Washington didn't improve by leaps and bounds this offseason, but it did enough to remain the favorite in the hunt for the 2013 NFC East title.

Need More Info?"Just got this dress in the mail this past week , for a trip to Mexico. I LOVE this dress! I am 5"11, and roughly 140-145lbs. I bought the medium, and the dress fits perfectly around my curves, and eventuates my hips very tastefully. The two vertical lines on the breast area of the dress go over the (n....) area, and I actually do not need to wear a bra with this, since it goes right over the (n...... - you know what I mean) and is fitted. So no bra needed, even if its a little chilly! :p. I would definitely recommend this dress, and for this price, it should be sold out ! The way I styled this, is Im wearing my hair in a messy ponytail, and with the "Clear as day rhinestone earrings" from lulus. VERY cute pairing... cant wait to wear it !!"

"The dress was nice and form fitting, and it was a good quality material. However I will have to return it because there's no way to wear a bra underneath. You could wear pasties I suppose but that wouldn't give any padding or lift, and unfortunately for petite and small chested girls the dress won't look very good otherwise."

Winner of the Orange Broadband Award for New Writers
"In exchanging the usual niceties of story and character development for [a] barrage of language, full of obscure allusions and quotations, Kavenna faces the charge of pomposity—worse, she risks alienating her readers with a display of linguistic dexterity that dazzles rather than engages. That she succeeds instead in captivating is testament to her sly, self-deprecating wit."—Olivia Laing, The Guardian (UK)"The downward spiral of a breakdown begins ever so slowly. You turn, you slip, and you turn again, and then you start hurtling from basement to sub-basement to lower levels three and four. Inglorious is . . . arresting, and barefisted—for the blows come hard. But it is also a work of art: tart, wise, human, funny, and best of all, without the least trace of sentiment. Kavenna finds humor in the abyss . . . and ultimately exhilaration at the end of the tunnel."—André Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name"Joanna Kavenna's writing is full of wit and wisdom in glorious proportion."—Aleksandar Hemon, author of Nowhere Man"Kavenna is incisive and funny enough to make Rosa convincingly crazy."—Publishers Weekly
Joanna Kavenna was born and raised in the United Kingdom, and has spent some years living in the United States and various parts of Europe. Her first book, The Ice Museum, was short-listed for the Ondaatje Prize. Her writing has appeared in the London Review of Books, the Times Literary Supplement, and the International Herald Tribune, among other publications.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives
in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same,
as follows:
SECTION 1. Chapter two hundred and fifty-five of the acts of nineteen hundred and eighty-two is hereby repealed.
SECTION 2. Any holder of an elective office in the town of Hanson may be recalled and removed therefrom by the qualified voters of said town as herein provided.
SECTION 3. One hundred and fifty or more qualified voters may file with the town clerk an affidavit containing the name of the officer and the office held whose recall is sought and a statement of the grounds upon which the petition is based. A minimum of twenty-five qualified voters shall be from each precinct. Upon certification by the board of registrars of the required signatures, the town clerk shall thereupon deliver or make available to the designated person or persons seeking the recall, a sufficient number of petition blanks demanding such recall on printed forms of which he shall keep on hand. The blanks shall be issued by the town clerk with his signature and official seal attached thereto; they shall be dated and addressed to the board of selectmen; shall contain the names of all persons to whom they are issued, the name of the person whose recall is sought, the office held by the person named, the grounds for recall as stated in the affidavit and shall demand the election of a successor to such office. A copy of the petition shall be entered in a record book to be kept in the office of the town clerk. The recall petition shall be returned and filed with the town clerk within twenty days following the date of issuance of said petitions. Said recall petitions shall be signed by at least ten per cent of the registered voters from each precinct in said town and to every signature shall be added the place of residence of the signer, giving the street and number. The town clerk shall within two working days of receipt, submit the petition to the registrars of voters who shall forthwith certify thereon the number of signatures which are names of voters of said town. No paper or documents of any kind shall be attached by the petitioners to any petition for recall, nor may any paper or document of any kind be solicited by the petitioners in such a way as to obscure any part of the petition for recall.
SECTION 4. If the petition shall be found and certified by said town clerk to be sufficient, he shall submit the same with his certificate to said selectmen without delay and said selectmen shall forthwith give written notice to said officer of the receipt of said certificate and shall, if the officer sought to be removed does not resign within five days thereafter, thereupon order an election to be held within a reasonable length of time after a minimum of forty-five days from town clerk's certification of the sufficient petitions. If a vacancy occurs in said office after a recall election has been so ordered, the election shall nevertheless proceed as herein provided.
SECTION 5. Any officer sought to be recalled may be a candidate to succeed himself, and, unless he requests otherwise in writing, said town clerk shall place his name on the official ballot without nomination. The nomination of other candidates, the publication of the warrant for the recall election, and the conduct of the same, shall all be in accordance with the provisions of law relating to election, unless otherwise provided in this act.
SECTION 6. The incumbent shall continue to perform the duties of his office until the recall election. If then re-elected, he shall continue in office for the remainder of his unexpired term subject to recall as before, except as provided in section eight. If not re-elected in the recall election, he shall be deemed removed upon the qualification of his successor, who shall hold office during the unexpired term. If the successor fails to qualify within five days after receiving notification of his election, the incumbent shall thereupon be deemed removed and the office vacant.
SECTION 7. Ballots used in a recall election in said town shall submit the following proposition in the order indicated:
For the recall of (name of officer)(office held).
Against the recall of (name of officer)(office held).
Immediately at the right of each proposition there shall be a square in which the voter by making a cross mark (X) may vote for either of such propositions. Under the proposition shall appear the word "Candidates" and the direction "Vote for One" and beneath this the names of candidates nominated as hereinbefore provided. In this case machine voting or punch card balloting, or other forms of balloting provision shall be made to allow the same intent of the voter.
SECTION 8. No recall petition shall be filed against an officer of said town within six months after he takes office, nor in the case of an officer subjected to a recall election and not removed thereby, until at least six months after that election.
SECTION 9. No person who has been recalled from an office in said town or who has resigned from office while recall proceedings were pending against him, shall be appointed to any town office within two years after such removal by recall or resignation.

Four Carnegie Mellon students solved the problem of the lost debit card and forgotten keys by replacing them with something you never leave behind: fingerprints.

Headquarters: Mountainview, CA

College lost-and-founds are packed with misplaced phones and wallets, leaving their owners stranded. But what if, imagined Brian Groudan, Kelly Lau-Kee, Umang Patel, and Christian Reyes, students could pay for meals, access dorms, and never worry about carrying--or forgetting--anything?
Together, the four students created PayTango, a payment system that identifies users by their fingerprints. To register, users touch two fingertips to a screen, swipe the card whose data they wish to associate, and type in a phone number--a process that takes about twenty seconds. At subsequent visits, users can simply touch the screen to call up their card information.
"We wanted to solve the problem of all these cards you have to carry around and things you need to identify yourself--there had to be a better way," says Patel. "We realized biometrics might be the best way to solve the problem of keys and credit cards."
Friends since freshman year at Carnegie Mellon University, the students brought a powerful arsenal of skills to their collaboration with majors in Information Systems, Human Computer Interaction, Business Administration, and Industrial Design. After developing the idea and building their prototype through a series of hackathons and a class with crowdsourcing trailblazer Luis von Ahn, the students were accepted into Silicon Valley accelerator Y Combinator, which provided them with seed funding and access to capital from firms including Maverick Capital and Start Fund.
In January 2013 Groudan, Patel, and Reyes moved to Mountainview, California, to work on PayTango full-time. All four students plan to gradudate in May.
Back at Carnegie Mellon, PayTango's impact has already been felt. The service is being used in place of traditional payment swipe cards in several of the university's dining halls, and over one hundred students registered with the service within the first four hours of its launch in early February.
The service, which is paid for via PayTango contracts with merchants, is free for users.
"The idea that you are not carrying around something that gives you access to your money--it's something that you have, something that you are. You can roll out of bed, forget your wallet, and still be able to make a transaction," says Max Hawkins, a fellow Carnegie Mellon senior who works with other student-run start-ups at the Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at CMU.
Over the course of the next year, PayTango's founders are hoping to launch the service on different college campuses and contract with other merchants and retailers that require members carry a unique ID card, like gyms. In the future, they envision replacing credit and rewards cards as well.
"The thing that we do differently is easy enrollment," says Patel. "You don't need specific technology and you don't have to carry anything around with you. It's just a more seamless approach."
