Born in 1809 in South Carolina, he arrived in Texas - what was then northern Mexico - in 1831, after the Law of April 6, 1830, made his immigration illegal. The rest, of course, is history. Despite his undocumented status, he went on to become a prominent figure in Texas lore, sacrificing his life in 1836 as commander of Texas' forces defending the Alamo.
165 years later, Texas Governor Rick Perry signed the 2001 Texas DREAM Act, which authorizes in-state tuition for students who have lived in Texas for three years and either obtained a GED or were graduated from a Texas public school or accredited private school. In passing this landmark legislation with strong bipartisan support, Texas became the first state in the union to offer in-state college tuition to undocumented immigrants.
Twelve years ago, both Republicans and Democrats understood and were not afraid to recognize publicly the benefits that undocumented immigrants bring to our state, especially in terms of personal sacrifice, work ethic, and contributions to the economy.
Unfortunately, amidst recent calls to repeal the Texas DREAM Act, the most extreme right fringe of the Texas GOP has either forgotten or conveniently chosen to ignore this fact.
We believe the Act must be preserved.
Given that Texas relies primarily on its sales tax to fund state government and state-sponsored institutions of higher education, every time undocumented immigrants go to the grocery store or otherwise spend their hard-earned money, they are directly contributing not only to the economic well-being of the state, but also to those public colleges and universities it supports.
Indeed, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy found that undocumented immigrants in Texas contributed more than $1.6 billion in state and local taxes in 2010 alone, and a study by The Perryman Group found that Texas would lose $69.3 billion in economic activity, $30.8 billion in gross state product, and approximately 403,000 jobs if all undocumented immigrants were removed from the state.
By offering in-state tuition to young undocumented immigrants, we encourage these students to enroll in college and increase their earning potential, which, in turn, increases their odds of becoming productive contributing members to the Texas economy. This, in the words of Governor Perry, is the whole point behind the Texas DREAM Act: to allow immigrants to become "contributing members of our society, rather than be on the dole."
But the Texas DREAM Act is justified by more than just economics. There also is the issue of fairness. Defending against attacks from his own party in 2012s presidential primaries, Perry stated, "To punish these young Texans for their parents' actions is not what America has always been about. If you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than theyve been brought there by no fault of their own, I dont think you have a heart."
We believe that which benefits Latino Texans benefits all Texans. By granting undocumented students in-state tuition, Texas serves as a positive example to the rest of the nation, while advancing its own economic and cultural interests.
Preserving the Texas DREAM Act is not only the fiscally responsible thing to do, but also the fair thing to do. We encourage public officials of all political and philosophical stripes to embrace this law and the people it was designed to help. They should not run away from the morally correct position on this issue for fear of political reprisal, just as Travis did not run away from his duty at the Alamo.
The above guest column was penned by state Senators Rodney Ellis, Sylvia Garcia, Juan Hinojosa, Eddie Lucio, Jr., Jose Rodriguez, Carlos Uresti, Leticia Van de Putte, Kirk Watson, Royce West, John Whitmire, and Judith Zaffirini. All are Democrats.

Toyota Yaris Hybrid First Drive [Photos: Antony Ingram]
It's the cheapest hybrid on the market, emits the lowest levels of CO2 of any non plug-in car--vital for European taxation reasons--and returns impressive gas mileage figures.
GreenCarReports was invited to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, to drive the new hybrid--and we discovered some interesting reasons as to why Europe gets a Yaris-based hybrid, rather than the dedicated Prius C.
Same car, different body
Mechanically and electrically, the Yaris Hybrid is very similar indeed to the Prius C, meaning it uses the same 1.5-liter, four-cylinder Atkinson cycle gasoline engine, and the same electric motor and drivetrain.
Combined output is 98 horsepower. The engine can serve up 81 lb-ft of torque, and the electric motor contributes 124 lb-ft, though a combined figure isn't given.
As a result, performance is likely to be very similar between Yaris and Prius C. Toyota quotes a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 11.8 seconds, with a top speed of 103 mph. Both cars have a drag coefficient of 0.28, and the Yaris is the lighter car, at 2,400 lbs to the Prius C's 2,500 lbs.
Visually the Yaris Hybrid offers plenty of tweaks over the standard Yaris, with LED-adorned lights front and rear, a Prius-like front end treatment and of course, the "hybrid blue" badge front and rear. Inside, it's all standard Yaris, with a few specification changes and some blue detailing to continue the corporate hybrid theme.
Driving the Yaris Hybrid
Like the Prius C, the Yaris Hybrid is more fun to drive than the regular Prius, owing to the lighter body, quicker steering and firmer--though not uncomfortable--suspension set-up. We've driven cars that are more fun, but few Yaris Hybrid owners will mind.
At the same time, it's as easy to drive as any other hybrid, with the the smooth electric continuously-variable transmission letting the revs rise and fall to deliver the required power and torque in any situation. That's if the engine is on at all--Toyota downloaded data from every car, to show the assembled press that between 40-50 percent of our driving had been done entirely in EV mode.
Toyota Yaris Hybrid First Drive [Photos: Antony Ingram]
Enlarge PhotoWhen you push harder, the engine drones away like any other CVT-equipped car, but during our time with the car these spells were mercifully short. EV mode really did dominate, the system happy to take over driving duties up to 30 mph. Often, backing off after gasoline-assisted acceleration to higher speeds, EV mode would let us drive along at up to 40 mph--hugely beneficial for saving gas.
Using those techniques and driving with economy in mind, we returned some spectacular economy figures. A mixture of urban driving and open 50 mph roads saw us average 63.5 mpg in our top-spec T-Spirit model--nigh-on identical to the official European 64 mpg urban figure, numbers we often describe as 15-20 percent higher than you'd expect from an EPA rating.
In case you were wondering, that didn't even require traffic-disrupting 'hypermiling' techniques--it simply involved driving with economy in mind. Even driving with economy firmly out of mind, a colleague struggled to return lower than 47 mpg, a figure the Yaris Hybrid also seemed happy to return on the few freeway sections we encountered.
That's very similar to the Prius C's official 46 mpg highway rating, and it makes the Yaris Hybrid a very efficient car indeed.

text: Beautiful exhaust tips. High quality and the finish is excellent. The mounting holes on the tips have a tighter tolerance than the stock exhaust tips, requiring one of the holes to be elongated about 1/16 of an inch so the mounting screw would thread properly. Minor, minor issue. I am VERY happy with the look and fit of the Afterburners.

Yes, I have and this isn't a completely accurate statement. While the HD300 has a native mode, it's not 100% native (it up samples bit depth). Outside of native mode the SOC's VP capabilities are pretty basic.
TBC, the HD300 experience is superior to the Echo in a lot of ways, but it was not perfect. There were several issues, some of them quite annoying.
There are several Sigma Designs SOCs that were faster and more capable (e.g. HDMI 1.4), but AFAIK the chips that contained decent VP (8910/8911 w/ VXP) are not very stable.
Better than Echo, yes, but again, this is isn't completely accurate.
This is a different story .

OPERATION REPO: Gruesome Twosome
Sonia and Matt enlighten some cowgirls as to why they work together so well...
The true test of a gruesome video is whether or not it has the power to reduce grown men to tears. If a horrific clip doesn't induce shock, then at the very least it should leave a person cringing for a couple of hours after getting the mental image stuck in their head. Grotesque videos can be gross, like in the "Cutting the Human Tongue" featured video, disturbing like car or motorcycle crashes that end in a gruesome broken limb. Some even consider a hit to the nuts to be a little gruesome. And every guy agrees that seeing Kathy Bates naked is the most gruesome of all gruesome things. See More »
No one can be sure of why humans are so fascinated with gruesome and gory things, but plenty of psychologists have tried to figure out the answer. Some experts believe people like to watch gruesome videos because it gives them a sense of control. Others say humans are simply wired to be titillated by disgusting images. Americans rush to the theater to see the latest slasher flick or crowd around the computer to watch a gruesome viral video of someone breaking their ankle after falling off a skateboard (as seen below). A person knows they will probably regret watching gruesome videos, but they just can't stop themselves.
There are a few rules to remember when viewing gruesome videos.Sonia and Matt enlighten some cowgirls as to why they work together so well...

Gender: Male Age: 20 Location: N/A
Posted: 2004-09-10
I am a firm believer, that we have no more choice, as to what we are drawn to sexually, than we have over what our taste buds like, when we sit down at the table.
It was late afternoon, when Carl heard the car engine sputtering to a stop. Looking at the gas guage and saying, " Oh shit " when he saw that the needle was sitting on E and he knew that he was in trouble.
He was on a hwy, that he had never been on before because of a stupid detour, somewhere about an hour back.
The fear that set-in was unreal because there he was, out in the middle of nowhere, a blackman, that was out of gas. Who was going to stop for a blackman, out in the middle of nowhere? No one, that's who and he knew it but he was to old and tired to walk, so he sat there anyway, waiting for someone to give him a ride.
Even though it was late afternoon, it was still getting to hot in the car, so after waiting for about 15 minutes, he started walking, once again hoping that someone would stop for him. But nobody was coming by and after walking for wat seemed like and hour, he wished that he had never left the car. Little did he know, that just over the next hill, he was going to find what he needed and then some.
Just as he was about to give-up, he saw it, " A little gas station " out in the middle of nowhere. Sitting there, all by it's self, making him laugh and think that it was a mirage but it wasn't. Because the closer he got, the more real it looked. Even the old bent " Texaco " sign, that was hanging from the wooden post, out in front of it. How lucky can you get, he thought, as he opened the old wooden screen door and went inside.
Even though it was old and ugly on the outside, the inside of the building was almost spotless and it wasn't until he saw what was behind the counter, " Paula " that he understood why.
She was only about 5 feet tall, maybe even less but what she lacked in height, she made up for in other ways. She had the tinyest waist, with wide full, heart shaped hips and even though her breasts weren't big enough for him, they were still there and stuck-out, just like a teenagers. Just daring someone to come up and feel them and boy did he want too.
" Oh," it had been so long, since he had felt a young girls breasts, firm, with hard little nipples and all you had to do, was just touch them and they would harden in an instant. " Oh yeah, memories."
Not to many young girls out there, looking for an old man, a 58 year old man, that was black, on top of all of that. But he could dream couldn't he, as he went over to the cooler and got a coke.
As he turned to talk to her, to ask her about a gas can he was shocked, by the look that she was giving him. A look, that he had seen more than afew times in his life and had never been wrong.
Her eyes were looking right into him and he could see the look, the " Look of need " that was building in them, as he got closer and closer, to where she was standing. It was a look of desperation or something like that.
He had been seeing that look in girls eyes, since he was 13 years old. It was almost like they were saying, " I'm horny, please help me. "
But this time it was different, this was a " White girl," a very pretty white girl and he was totally lost, as to what to do about it. What if he was wrong? What if she accused him of trying to rape her? These thoughts and more were screaming through his mind and eventually he decided to let it go [ The look ] and to go about getting his gas, so he could get out of there.
" Hello, I ran out of gas, back up the road a bit, do you have a gas can, that I can use?
She didn't answer for the longest time and there it was again, he was reading [ The look ] in her pretty green eyes. As her eyes dropped down to the bulge in his pants and then she looked up smiling and saying, " Uh huh but it's outback, wanna help me get it?" And turned and started walking, not giving him a chance to answer.
Walking behind her, he got to see her heart shaped hips and her pretty ass, as they moved in a sensuous way, like they were " Churning butter." Not flipping from side to side or even just working back and forth. They were doing it all, like she was grinding, on a big hard cock and all she was doing, was walking. " Shit, " she was hot and although he tried, he couldn't stop watching her.
" Fuck, " didn't she know, what she was doing to him, " Churning her hips like that?"
All he could think about, as he walked behind her was, " Who wouldn't wanna, " BoneThat " as he felt his black cock starting to get hard and his mind screamed, " What are you doing old man, she doesn't want you, besides your black, have you forgotten?" And once again he let it go and felt his black dick starting to go back down, as he followed her. Still wanting her but knowing that he couldn't have her. Twice along the way, she slowed down and looked back over her shoulder, catching him looking at her, smiling and continued walking.
When she stopped at the old wood door, pushed it open and stepped in, he didn't think anything of it, as he stepped inside too.. And then it happened.
As she closed the door and turned on the light, he saw that she had taken him outback, outback to the bathroom and there wasn't any gas can in sight.
Whimpering, she dropped down in front of him, reached out and touched his cock bulge and whispered, " I want to " and when he didn't know what to say or do, she said it again, " I want to " and looked up at him with her pretty green eyes and he said, " Oh fuck, I'm in trouble " and watched as she slowly slid his pants down.
Looking up at him, with her green eyes already starting to cross and he thought, " Oh fuck, she's already ready to cum " as she slowly slid his underwear down, watching as his dick came into view, squealing like a little girl, when she saw it.
He couldn't believe it, as he watched her take it in her little hand and giude it into her mouth and start sucking on it, without him even asking her. Moaning, as her little girl tongue, did its " thing " on the end of it. Making him moan, " Ohhh, Ohhh, Oh yeahhh, suck it baby, suck it " and she did. Bobbing her little blonde pony tailed head, back and forth on it. Making him want to take ahold of it but being afraid of ruinning it for her, so he just stood there watching her do it .
Carl had only been sucked by afew white women, in all of his 58 years. So to have a young one, a very pretty young one sucking on it, was driving him crazy and he didn't know how long he could hold it. Especially with her one hand pumping it and the other little hand sliding underneath it, feeling his heavy ball sac, with her tiny fingers. " Ohhh " moaning as he felt her feeling them, knowing that he couldn't hold it, much longer.
All at once she stopped and with out saying anything stood up and turned around, bending over at the little sink and offering him her pretty rearend. Watching as she slowly raised her little sundress up, revealing one of the prettiest ass's, that he had ever seen.
Moving over behind her, reaching out slowly, he took ahold of the top of her black thong panties and slowly peeled them down, exposing her little rosebud, with her pretty full lipped pussy nestled down below it.
He couldn't believe how much her outter lips were already swollen, like they were that way all the time because she had been fucked so much. Even way out here, where the boys and men had to drive a long way to get to her, like he was getting ready to get to her now.
As soon as she felt his long black fingers rubbing and teasing on her pussy, she lost it and moaned, then whimpering, " Do meee, Do meee blackman " as he felt her grab ahold of his black cock and guide it to the opening of her pretty pussy. Raising her pretty ass and dropping it back down on it . Screaming, " Nooooooooooooooo " " Agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh " " Agghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh " as the first 2 inches of it, went up into her. Stretching her to the limit, wider than any man or boys cock, had ever stretched her before.
Crying at the size of it , screaming, " It hurts, It hurts, take it out, its to big, way to big for meee." Begging him to take it out but he wouldn't. One minute she was hating him for it and the next minute she was grinding back on to it and moaning, " Uh huh, Uh huh " over and over again, as he worked it back and forth up inside of her, faster and faster. Holding her by the hips, so she couldn't get away from him.
He couldn't tell which one of them was moaning the loudest, as he worked his black cock in and out of her white pussy, faster and faster. Working it up into her deeper and deeper, as deep as he could. And that's when he took ahold of her blonde ponytail and started pounding her, for real.
Watching her sweet little girl pussy lips, dragging along the sides of his black cock, as he worked it in and out of her, grinding his pubic hair into her. Letting her know that she's taken it, " Taken it all " and she could feel his heavy ball sac, slapping at her little pussy, as he worked his long black cock, in and out of her faster and faster.
All at once she lost it, as he held onto her ponytail and watched her little back arch and watched her pretty ass starting to buck and jerk, riding his swollen cock, begging him to squirt her.
" Fuck me, fuck me blackman." " Make me fat, make me carry your baby, your black baby " and he felt her warm sweet little girl pussy lips clasping around his black cock, pulling it up into her, as she started wetting it, with her white girl juices and he lost it, just as the bathroom door swung open and standing there in the doorway, was a little old lady, watching as his long black boner, erupted up inside of her little sweet cunt. Squirting up into it " Once " " agghhhhh " " Twice " " agghhhh " " Three times " " agghhhhh " as he filed her insides, with his blackman's cum " With the little old lady standing there watching, the whole time that he was cuming. It was on the last jerk of his black boner, up inside of the little girl, that she quietly said, " Oh, I'm sorry " and quietly closed the door.
Old Carl knew that he was in trouble and started getting dressed, as fast as he could, so he could get out of there,
Paula pulled her black thong panties back up and dropped her little sundress back down over them, like nothing had happened. Leaving Carl in the bathroom, as she went back into the little building.
Finally he came out and when he saw that the little old lady was gone, he thought that she had left and headed around the corner, to go inside and get the gas can and there she was, just standing there with that look on her face. That look that said, " Don't worry, I won't tell " and he went around her, saying, " Excuse me " and she stepped back and let him by.
As soon as he was inside, little Paula handed him a can and he gave her a $ 20 dollar bill and told her, " I'll be back in alittle bit " and she said, " I hope so," as he headed out the door, to get the gasoline.
Since Paula didn't have a car, he started walking back towards his car, hoping for a ride and sure enough, someone pulled up next to him, when they saw that he had a gas can.
It wasn't until he had already reached for the door handle, that he saw, that it was the little old lady. The same little old lady that had seen them doing it, back in the bathroom, at the little old gas station.
Getting in he said, " Thanks, I sure appreciate this and she didn't say anything, as she drove him almost 6 miles down the road. And when they got to his car he said, " I owe you one " and started to get out but she slid her old hand across the car's full front seat and then up along his huge black thigh, resting it on his huge bulge and whimpering like a little girl, as she begged him to let her suck it.
She didn't care that he was black, all she cared about was, that there was a cock in her car, a cock that she had never sucked " and she wanted it. Wanting to see what it tasted like because it was " Black." All at once she slowly leaned over and started undoing his pants and he raised up off of the car seat and watched as she pulled his pants and underwear down. So, she could get at it better. Squealing like a little girl, just like little Paula had done earlier, the first time she hed seen how big it was, too.
She couldn't wait anymore, as she took ahold of it, bent down to it and slipped her mouth down over the end of it. Not caring that it had just been up inside of little Paula, it was his cum that she wanted and she knew, " That little Paula hadn't gotten all of it." And she slowly started working it, with her warm soft tongue. Coaxing it, coaxing it to cum again.
Old Carl couldn't believe it, as he looked down and watched as the little old lady did what very girls or women had ever done, she " Deep Throated It " to where there was nothing showing but his dark kinky pubic hair and his warm half full ball sac. Little Paula had gotten part of it but she knew that before it was over, that she was going to get the rest. As she started sucking on it harder and harder, swallowing over and over while doing it because she was old enough to know, how to massage a man's cock and coax him into cuming, without even moving. Something that she had been doing, since she was Paula's age. When " Good girls " didn't do things like that but she did and tha'ts why she had been so popular, just like Paula was now.
All at once he felt her little finger tip teasing on his little asshole and just as he was moaning " NOOOOO " she pushed her white finger all the way up into his black ass and knowing that some men liked that, started finger fucking him, right there in her car and he was one of them, as he moaned real loud, " AGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH " as his black cock erupted , " Again " and " Again " down inside of her warm throat and she kept swallowing, massaging and milking on it, the whole time he was cuming.
When it was over, neither of them said a word, as she watched him get out of her car and slowly drove away. She had gotten what she needed , " the cum of a man, any man , down in her belly " and hoped that he had gotten what he needed too. If not from her, at least from Little Paula and somehow she was sure that he had.
Carl poured the gasoline into his tank and headed down the road again, to return the gas can to Paula
When he went inside he was at a loss for words because now there was a little old man standing there and no sign at all, of little Paula. So, he sat the can on the counter and went and got another coke. Trying not to sound to interested, as he turned and said, " What happened to the little girl, I borowed this gas can from her and now I need to return it." So proud of himself, for not blowing it and giving it away.
'Oh, you mean Paula, she doesn't really work here, she's my daughter." " Hard to believe that she's only 14, they sure didn't build em that way, when we were little, did they?" And Carl choked on his coke, when he heard how young she was and headed out the door. As her dad said, " Hey, don't you want your change. " She left a note here, saying that someone had given her a $20 dollar bill to hold. Something about gasoline or something like that.
And Old Carl mumbled, " No thanks dad, she was, I mean, it was worth it, keep the change," as he made it out the front door and quietly drove away.

i liked it...women knowingly love black long cocks. they are
bigger and longer usually then most white guys. i have had both kinds up my cunt, and a black cock can make me cum soooo
fast. they can get in me so deeply. once u go black, u do not go back.

It is essential for every born again believer to know who they are in Christ Jesus in order to enjoy success in this life.
Some people believe that faith is a formula for success in this life.
In this powerful message, Dr. André Roebert explains through scripture how circumstances speak fear into our lives. As you listen to this teaching, you will learn how to master your faith and cause it to go to work for you and have every circumstance come into line with the Word of God.
In this compelling three part series, Pastors Andre & Jenny explain exactly what it means to have a renewed mind and how to practically set our thoughts on the truth of God's word. In these teachings, you will learn about the war that is waging on over control of your mind and God's divine strategy for you to win the victory over your thought life
In the beginning God said: "Let there be light" and light was! God spoke creation into being with His words of faith! You and I are made the same image of our Heavenly Father. We have that same creative power within us and with our words we establish our own destinies.
Many times the word 'prosperity' conjures up images of money, and lots of it! When we follow the commandments of God and apply His Word in our lives as a matter of course, prosperity will follow us.
We live in the worst of times and the best of times! Never have we witnessed such great evil unleashed on this earth as we are experiencing today.
Nothing in this natural world is forever.
In this powerful faith filled message, you will learn how essential it is for every believer to place our trust in the eternal god and his word. Pastor jenny explains how to live and reign in this life through the manifest power of our eternal connection body, soul and spirit .

Comment: Re:Does not make sense (Score 1) 481
And you illustrate the exact problem I was talking about: in most situations like the one under discussion, there is simply no way to show intent, one way or another.
Really? Simply no way? You've never seen someone do something and had a strong conviction one way or the other whether they did it by accident or on purpose? I know I have.
So I'm pretty sure witnesses, character witnesses, what the person posted on their facebook page that day, or texted their friends about the incident, that individual persons history, etc, etc, etc all could add up to a pretty convincing picture.
If you simply acknowledge that public photography is legal, all these problems and ambiguities go away.
So what is 'public photography'? Is infrared camera ok? Can I in the not to distant future install a camera on an electronic ant, and then walk it up the insides of girls pant legs at the park?
What about photography taken from public spaces into 'private ones'? Is that ok too? Can I hover about your home with drones looking for angles to see in? Or use various imaging techniques to 'see' through the walls of your house? If I get an accomplice to throw the curtains open at a mall changing room, can I photo the women inside with impunity? I'm in a public place, right?
Don't try to regulate other peoples' behavior -- much less try to make it criminal -- based on your personal preferences at any given moment.
I have a reasonable expectation of privacy. We all do. There is nothing unreasonable whatsoever about protecting that.
If you simply acknowledge that public photography is legal,
If you simply acknowledge that taking photographs where a person or persons are the primary subject requires disclosure and consent solves the problem no less neatly.

Abstract: | In recent years, we have seen a steady increase in the resolution and the amount of collected data that needs to be analyzed or presented. Often, the complexity of the problems that drive this increase requires that multidisciplinary teams work collaboratively towards a solution. Traditional paper-based war rooms have been shown to double the productivity of radically collocated teams when addressing such problems. Large, high-resolution displays have the potential to transform paper-based war rooms into more dynamic digital war rooms by enabling virtual interaction and reconfigurable space. Although of great potential, these affordances alone will not result in increased productivity since our current knowledge of virtual interaction and display space organization is based on contemporary desktop systems with vastly different requirements, necessitating new techniques tailored for wall displays. This dissertation first presents a unique interaction framework that allows multi- user, multi-modal control of wall displays along with scalable, distributed user interface widgets for building novel interfaces for collaborative large, high-resolution environments. The framework enabled subsequent investigations of the user interaction and display space organization issues through numerous real-world usage scenarios. The investigations were aimed at shedding light on two specific questions. First, what is a set of interaction requirements and modalities appropriate for collaborative work across a broad range of wall display use cases? Second, what display space organization techniques and behaviors do users employ in collaboratively managing a large amount of information on wall displays? Based on observations from a number of use cases, a sample set of tools was iteratively developed for addressing the issues of input control and display space organization. Lastly, the developed tools were evaluated in a simulated collaborative analysis task for the purposes of understanding how the developed techniques serve to support traditional war rooms. |

Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
With all the Branch treads going and getting beaten like a dead horse, I thought that I would be different to have something positive for a change.
There is one guy who is what a true Patriot player has been over the years, dating back to the days when the franchise started it's rise to the top. Sure Tedy Bru could be called that guy and no one could argue that point. But, Troy Brown has been with the team longer and was not appreciated when he first joined the team and may not be getting the appreciation that he deserves now. Here's a quick Bio:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_Brown Interesting to know that he was drafted in the 8th round which would have made him an UDFA today. He was also released by the team and then resigned. So, here is your chance , if you want, to show some appreciation for Troy. My guess is that he will still make plays this year that will win us a game or two. |
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
Troy Brown: A TRUE PATRIOT !
thanks for what he has done till now and i still think he will contribute a lot this season too what a player 8th rounder... amazing Grazie Troy ! |
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
You're just trying to add to his legend. :)
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
WHOA..WAS BB JUST IN THE ROOM?..I heard a familiar comment!!! |
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
I love Troy Brown! He is a true class act and has conducted himself with utmost professionalism. Some thing that is sorely lacking in most all professional athletes. Troy is an inspiration to so many of us because he works hard, is not a whiner, and seems to appreciate what he has rather than complain about what he doesn't.
I hope we have many more Troy Brown's not just in professional sports but in life in general. |
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
Met him a couple of times, what you see is what you get, a very good family guy who plays the game the way it should be played. Tough as nails, great character and very good ability. I see him after retirement being held onto by Mr. Kraft in some capacity, whatever you ask of him he does and does it to the best of his ability.
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
I love Troy.
But I have to add the Wikipedia entry is incorrect. His stats from 2001-2003 are all off by a year. He had 101 catches is 2001, and in 2003, Deion Branch was their leading receiver, not Brown. |
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
Another thing to think about when discussing Troy's Legend is that he had a better season in 2001 than Deion Branch EVER has had for the Pats, and he never even sat out a PRACTICE while thinking about the money. Sure he was older at the time, but he was far more justified wanting the money back then because Troy Brown WAS OUR OFFENSE in 2001. In 2002 he again had more catches than Deion has ever even sniffed. In fact, 2002 went down the Tubes when Troy got hurt, and then again when Bruschi got hurt.
For reference, these were Troys numbers over his most productive stretch in the BB era: 2000: 83 for 944 with 4 TDs (15 games) 2001: 101 for 1199 with 5 TDs (13 games) 2002: 97 for 890 with 3 TDs (13 games) 2003: 40 for 472 with 4 TDs (10 games) Total four year span: 321 for 3505 with 16 TDs. (51 games) Deion Branch's four NFL seasons so far: 2002 43 for 489 with 2 TDs (13 games) 2003 57 for 803 with 3 TDs (15 games) 2004 35 for 454 with 4 TDs (9 games) 2005 78 for 998 with 5 TDs (16 games) Total four year span: 213 for 2744 with 14 TDs (53 games) I realize that these are results in a vaccuum. And I realize that Deion is much younger and has more upside. But the simple realization looking at his career numbers is that DEION DOES NOT DESERVE WHAT HE'S ASKING; just ask Troy Brown. |
Re: Change of Pace: Troy Brown appreciation thread
The one thing I always remember is his family first attitude. When the Saints tried to sign him last year, his son told him he wanted him to remain with the Patriots. And, as we all know, he did.
Truly class act. |

Greenlight's Einhorn criticizes St Joe in letter
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK May 30 (Reuters) - Greenlight Capital's David Einhorn reiterated his criticism of Florida developer St. Joe Co's business model in a May 29 quarterly investment letter.
In the letter, Einhorn said that the company "continues to carry its mostly vacant commercial real estate at inflated values" and that St. Joe Co's "effort to develop its best land through a historic boom" has been "a cumulative money loser."
The hedge fund has had a short position in St. Joe Co for more than half a decade, Einhorn said in the letter, after having first discussed the position at an investment conference in 2007.

Damascus car bomb shatters Syria truce
Reuters: You should tell the truth and tell that the rebel/terrorists are the only ones that broke the truce and Syria fought back after the army base was attacked. This was one sided and you make it seem to be a two to tangle issue. It was not, it was the Western paid terrorists that broke the cease fire…
Syrian ceasefire number 210 falls apart.
That's news?
lol truce…
There are only 2 types of "truce".
-The truce when both sides see no possibility of victory and no gain on fighting. Like the latest Israel x Hamas truce…
-The informal truce between soldiers when the battlefield is so full of death and so much suffering and horror that they need some time to collect their dead, attend their wounded, drink some wine and tell some jokes, before start killing each other again… like the british vs french after Fuentes de Onoro…
otherwise if there is some minimal advantage the truce will be broken 100% of the times…
I'm surprised that both sides didn't honor the ceasefire…islam is the religion of peace.
SYRIA watchout. Romney/Ryan are coming after you.
Yes..that and the lies your fearless leader keeps peddling about Libya…but who cares right
Well that was too much to ask for. Car bomb in the captial? Sounds like the Islamic Allies MO. If only Obama wasnt such a coward and helped the FSA, there would be no need for Islmaic militants.
"A commander from the rebel Free Syrian Army had said his fighters would also honor the ceasefire but demanded Assad meet opposition demands for the release of thousands of detainees."
That's the kind of demand one makes when signing a peace treaty.
Metalhead – you're a glutton for punishment. Someone else's punishment. Do you have stock in arms makers or it just your favorite hobby?
Oh, today's a holiday – let's not kill each other for 24 hours. Cool, kinda like a lengthy re-load break?
The US Secretary of State Clinton said:
"The United States is moving forward on all these fronts: providing humanitarian aid, supporting the civilian opposition, and increasing pressure on the regime."
Her and the terrorist troops she aids said nothing about a truce or ceasefire.
Now wait for wailing from Monica about "atrocities' of Assad regime.
@paintcan, it's a Hobby. got any Firearms yourself?
"That's the kind of demand one makes when signing a peace treaty." – Agreed, got a link for exact terms of the ceasefire or is it confitential?
Let's face it, the rebels don't want peace and your one sided version fails to stand up to reality. Time to revise, as the truth is obvious to all.
Why dont you tell people the truth instead of beating around the bush. The western support rebels are terrorist!
How can their be peace when the insurgents have several government bases completely surrounded and snipers on both sides are within a few dozen yards of each other in what's left of regime controlled Aleppo?
O well, who ever heard of making peace with a few armed gangs anyway?
The Assad trolls have made new accounts again. I suppose it's the only way to make all their lies 'fresh'.
Over the last year and a half, I think Reuters has repeated the line "The war in Syria pits mainly Sunni Muslim rebels against Assad, from the minority Alawite sect…" more than a thousand times…
Looking at yesterday's report that Kurdish neighborhoods of Aleppo were holding it against those "rebels" essentially on their own – protecting their homes and their livelihoods, or whatever is left of those, I canno judge Reuters repeating that line other than an appauling incitement of religious strife and animosity. This sort of propaganda should be banned internationally and prosecuted by the ICC.
Rebels broke the truce, and now they are lighting off car-bombs… I don't mind if the West support the rebels behind the scenes, but if they are gonna light off car bombs that's when my pledge goes away. I'm not supporting that kind of BS, and if it's the only way they know how to fight then they're on their own
@metalhead – I presume the terms are explained in this article. The Syrian army reserved the right to fire back if attacked. A treaty deals with issues of prisoners, lands held or lost, powers shared or abrogated etc. Ceasefires are simply a call to stop the shooting for as long as possible. There are few details to a ceasefire.
The Syrian government is the legitimate government until events prove otherwise and another government is created and it will, no doubt, have to tame an insurgency against itself like the Afghans and Iraqis continue to have to do. Will you automatically side with the rebels? The media will direct your attention according to the editors' priorities and not yours.
You and another commenter regard the civil war as a sporting event. Sporting events don't usually cause the deaths of the spectators and players or the destruction of the venue and reduce hundreds of thousands to the miserable condition of refugees. It isn't a game and it isn't fare play by any means. And the "event" may be sponsored by powers that have no real concern for anyone in the country but more for motives and aims having to do with rivalries between themselves. All of them in Syria, the government, the civilians and the fighters may all be pawns in a much larger picture and if the country is destroyed and the population lives in ruins, it may not matter as much to the sponsors as it does to those caught in the wreckage their rivalry caused.
I don't have any firearms. I don't need any.
@Paintcan, I don't view this as a sporting event, I just like seeing Tyrants/scumbags go down. which leads me to this
"The Syrian government is the legitimate government until events prove otherwise"
While you don't view Assad murdering his own people as proof he lost legimatamcy, I do. So do alot of other nations. Don't need to respond, I know you take your news from either SANA, Press TV, or RT news and those media sites are claiming a very different story. I get it, a debate about who right is worthless.
"Will you automatically side with the rebels?" No. I didn't right away, but the more he did, the more i learned about him, I stopped supporting him.
"The media will direct your attention according to the editors' priorities and not yours. " Thats why i read muilitble news sites and talk to people from syria.
"I presume the terms are explained in this article" Don't know why people comment on articles they don't read. Is it just to argue? Anyways, no. Rueters does not talk about the little specifics which makes me so angry, but other news sites arn't much better, so i can ya do?
Where are you from anyways?

Man, what about "rebels" killing their own people – does this add to their "legitimacy" in your view?
Have you read recent news on Libya, and how the "newly legitimate" "rebel government" is killing its own people in Bani Walid? And if you look through either SANA, Press TV, or RT news reporting as you claim, not only "those media sites are claiming a very different story" as you say, but their reporting seem not to suffer from having "little specifics" like Reuters, – perhaps, you might find there real TV coverage from the site (which in Reuters' view "is restricted by the Syrian government").
Finally, mind you, somebody you view as a Tyrant, etc., might not be regarded so by a large number of others. And if a million, or two, do not want your "rebel revolution" – what then? Should they just be "finished", like this is being carried out in Libya?
@metalhead – you say – "No. I didn't right away,(re: Assad) but the more he did, the more I learned about him, I stopped supporting him".
And the people who told you about him were the media? How interested in Assad were you until it started showing up regularly in the media? And now you can custom make your information to reinforce your own point of view. I hardly know what to believe on the Internet and don't trust the oversimplification of cable or the major network news. I don't quite believe there is such a thing as a simple "truth" about anything. You flatter yourself that you know the story from the stories you read and the people you say you talk to. The more I read about anything – the less certain I am I really know anything. Even hearing stories in my own neighborhood are not so clear-cut. Everyone seems to have a different take on matters. Do you ever talk to Assad supporters?
Assad's regime seems to have the virtue of keeping rival ethnic and religious identities from killing each other. Assad's government doesn't like paparazzi either. News organs and networks seem to have become very glib, because they know their audiences and advertisers like infotainment.
My past experience of talking to people from the ME was with a kid from the West Bank who wanted advice on his architectural model making and didn't want to talk politics at all and another person on al Jazeera who was very dogmatic and told me what to believe. I only had one conversation lasting a few days in these pages with a Syrian commenter called human friend. And he liked Assad. I'd love to talk to more. I never set foot in the ME and it's hard to talk to someone in the full adrenaline rush of political fervor. It's too expensive for me to visit in person and I probably couldn't stand the higher temps. I've been living in New England for about 40 years.
@paintcan, – your really not giving me alot of Credit =/ .
-I got Info on Assad from more then a few sources
-I've only talked to Assad supporters on the Rueters.
theres nothing i can really say without you questioning if im being truthful or not, so i don't know what to say.
@bravenewworld- If there was a point in your comment, it's not very clear.
Yes i read about whats going on in libyia. Why?
Yes, alot of people don't view Assad as a Tryant. But Alot of people do. For the Million or two people that don't care for the "Rebel Revoulation" as you call it, I imagine they left the country.
From they way you wrote your comment, i can really tell you don't like me. SANA , Press TV and RT news may have TV coverage, but they are also notrious for BS, so i dont know why you think i would read it and accept it as truth. SANA said this civil war is over dozen times already!
Does Assad killing his own people add to his "legitimacy" in your view?

US Interior Design Magazine is hosting the annual Best of the Year Design Award. From October 1-11, 2013, you can vote for your favorite products. Normann Copenhagen has products in two different categories:
- Furniture: Residential/Side Tables: the Block Table
- Accessories: the Flip Mirror
If you are an interior designer or an architect you can help us become a finalist for the Best of the Year Product Design 2013 Award. Vote for Block Table and Vote for Flip Mirror.
Take a closer look at the Normann Copenhagen entries below.
A Versatile Piece of Furniture
Inspired by the well-known tray table, Danish designer, Simon Legald, has combined craftsmanship and industry in the design of Block – a mobile side table on wheels with a light and airy feel. The table is rectangular and is easy to move around using one of its four handles, which are a natural extension of the table's legs.
The Block Table is available in six colors; light grey, dark grey, mint, coral, white and black.
The Block table is a versatile piece of furniture with a countless number of applications, e.g. as a side table, coffee table, tea trolley, serving trolley, bedside table, bar table, in the kitchen, office or in the child's room. The feel changes depending on Block's surroundings and it is easy to add your own personal touch to the table through styling.
A Mirror with Multiple Functions
Javier Moreno Studio has designed a simple table mirror for Normann Copenhagen. It includes several functions and has a delightfully organic mode of expression. Flip can be turned up, down and rotated 360 degrees. The tray design of the base means that Flip is both a traditional mirror and an easy and simple storage utility for your bits and bobs.
The softness of the silhouette contrasts the glass and steel materials and gives the Flip a friendly and accommodating expression.
The Flip Mirror is inspired by the traditional dressing table where one can see how one looks in the mirror and at the same time keep all the small items that are nice to have close at hand before leaving the house. The base functions as a tray and is ideal for keeping items such as jewellery, make-up and keys on.
The Flip mirror is available in white, black and sand, making it easy fit for almost all styles. Place it on a chest of drawers in the hallway or use it as a makeup mirror in the bedroom.
In November, all the finalists will be posted online on Interior Design Magazine´s homepage. The winners will be selected by Editor in Chief Cindy Allen and a jury of design leaders, and will be announced live on December 5th, 2013 during a celebration in New York City.
We're crossing our fingers! – Thank you for voting.

I have used Viovet several times now and each time it has been hassle free. The only problem I have had is with the delivery company going to the wrong house and driving away. I immediatlly contacted Viovet who contacted the driver and he returned within half an hour. They are very efficient and my order usually arrives within 2 days max and is packed very well, I buy insulin which has to be kept cold and it always arrives in good condition and at the correct temperature. I will continue to use Viovet.
Simple to use, saves money, what more could you ask for...... Brilliant!

I'm trying to put a few gaps in my springboard (not the summerboard skipped row), and don't want to use iFuntastic. How would I go about making an application that, when pressed, does absolutely nothing.
I've tried taking the placeholder application out of iFuntastic's resources, but when thats pressed it opens a blank default.png and just sits there.. I want one that does absolutely nothing upon being pressed.

Cedar Rapids Weather
Huge Hawkeye Fan's Memorabilia Now Up For Estate SaleBy Mark Carlson, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- A huge collection of Hawkeye memorabilia will be for sale this weekend at the estate sale of perhaps the biggest Hawkeye fan of all time.
George "Tommy" Thompson, 86, passed away last March after attending 751 Iowa Hawkeye football games. "We found Hawkeye stuff in every part of [his] house," said Bill Ackerman, who is managing Thompson's estate sale. "Even in the garage, he had Hawkeye stuff everywhere." Thompson was well known by both current Hawkeyes and some of the greatest who ever lived. He even played golf with Nile Kinnick, according to his daughter, Tami Rinehart. "Iowa decided they just had to add an extra game the day after Thanksgiving, so my Dad quit coming to my house down in Arizona because he didn't want to miss the game on Friday," Rinehart said with a smile. "The Hawkeyes were his second family." The sale includes signed footballs, basketballs and hundreds of other pieces of memorabilia. There is even a 1912 Iowa Homecoming ribbon, which is the oldest piece available. Thompson had ticket stubs and programs from some of the biggest Iowa games ever played. "He wasn't necessarily a collector, he just accumulated a lot of stuff," said Stephen Thompson, Tommy's son. The sale includes dozens of other antiques that were found inside Thompson's home. Ackerman said the overall estate is one of the largest he has ever managed. The sale runs through the weekend at Thompson's home, 243 Hutchinson Ave. in Iowa City. The times are as follows: Friday 5-8pm, Saturday 9-3pm and Sunday 10-3pm. Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.
