— | Mcfly - Smile |
Just remember to smile and that's a good enough start. You just gotta stay happy put away that frown. Just smile, and turn the world around
This will forever be my favorite song……unless McFly decides to release an even better song on their new album…(which I'm pretty sure is almost impossible.)
I was just slightly bored this morning so I made this on Photoshop. I need to start working on my portfolio and website.
Then finally here is the last project…..It was a second CD cover we had to do. I choose McFly and named it "American Invasion" hoping they would have an American invasion eventually…..it would have been perfect if not for the typo….just ignore it. lol.
Made this for one of those 30 day photo things on facebook….it was for your favorite song or whatever….I choose the heart never lies by McFly.

I'd like to thank you for the wonderful success of the 11th annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure. (Click here for the news story on the race.)
I may have seen you there on Sunday, September 21...there were more than 18-thousand of us at the Eastland Mall! And, we set another record. The Greater Evansville (Tri-State) race is now bigger than the Komen Race in Salt Lake City, Fort Worth and New York City!
To those who put on this spectacular event, including our own Ann Komis, and to those businesses that sponsor the race, congratulations on your hard work and success! The event was moving, emotional and uplifting!
Thanks to the 18-thousand of you who ran, walked or just showed up to be part of a memorable Sunday morning.
And, to those of you wearing the pink shirts, you inspire me!
And finally, thanks to the Eastland Mall for being such a gracious host for the race since its inception. Starting next year, the race moves back to Saturday and goes to Downtown Evansville!
No doubt, with your help, Race for the Cure will continue to grow. Hopefully one day, we'll be celebrating a cure to breast cancer.

maria banet, your only option is a fm radio transmitter.
Posted by superoog on June 26, 2004 at 4:28 AM (PST)
I just got the imp, plugged it in to my cassette adapter and factory deck and had line distortion due to the output being to high. Now I recently ordered and have yet to receive a new Eclipse head unit with an Aux input all so that I could listen to the iPod in my car in its full glory.
Anyone with experience as to whether aux inputs work better than cassette adapters? Any way to tone down the imp without buying a belkin or Monster?
Posted by Tinman on July 14, 2004 at 6:33 PM (PST)
Yeah, the aux inputs work great. Cassette adapters don't get very good sound because it's emulating a tape cassette and as such, is limited by the medium. I've got an Aux imput that I routed to the center console box on my Integra and the ipod sounds great, another bonus is that I can attach anything with a standard audio input jack as well. Now I just need a charging unit like the sik or belkin. I'm concerned about the feedback everyone talks about with the sik and the distortion on the belkin. Anyone know if the distortion/feedback is a problem with an AUX input?
Posted by midknight on July 18, 2004 at 4:01 PM (PST)
I like the look of the imp but all this talk about the high line level out from the ipod is making me think twice. Does anyone know what exactly is the line level output for the ipod? This will help greatly in evaluating the gain level to the head unit. Thanks.
Posted by KS on July 28, 2004 at 4:37 AM (PST)
This reviewer obviosly does not do many profesional car audio installations.
A amplifier on a "Line" output is the last last thing you want for sound quality. It adds more noise and distortion to the music, especially if you don't know how to "line level match." U really want to use a straight line level source and let the AUX input of your head unit do the amplification. And if its not loud enough (not likely) use a good "line driver" thats fully adjustable.
So stating that there are not enough places to adjust the volume is foolish. Too many places to adjust will just cause distortion and clipping all the way down the line.
A good way to see if its distorting is to take a "good" pair of headphones in the car w/ you and compare what u hear in the headphones to the speaker output.
Posted by Hadji D Man on August 11, 2004 at 9:40 AM (PST)
hadji d man is correct.. the last thing you want is multiple volume control points along the line. the best way to control the volume is to simply let the master control on your head unit do it all. and i have to say, all the people that are purchasing this dock-to-line out for use with their cassette to aux converters... save your money! you have already lost any possiblilty of getting good quality sound from your ipod through your car radio, the headphone out with the volume somewhere in the middle will be fine.
Posted by viper7189 on August 21, 2004 at 1:49 PM (PST)
Well, I got the new eclipse deck. Should sound pretty good right, wrong. I knew that a aux should sound better than a tape adapter, but I was concerned about what I assume is clipping from too high of output by the Imp. In doing an internet search, I found another with an Eclipse 8443 and the imp causing distortion. What is with this product that so many people are having problems. Is there a way to "line level match?" I see nothing on the deck to adjust the line level input. I would have to say I'm very dissappointed and frustrated at this point with the imp. Sounded good on paper, but two of the three stereos I've tried it with have led to distortion. I wish they had a return policy. Any help from anyone in making it work would be greatly appreciated.
Posted by Tinman on August 23, 2004 at 6:06 PM (PST)
I just got one of these. If you are planning to use the line input on your head unit with this line output be ready to deal with some ground loop issues. Since the cigarette lighter is grounded at a different point than the radio is, it is possible to get a ton of engine noise in the audio.
In my Subaru my XM Radio and also my iPod playing through the imp has a huge amount of alternator noise that varies with engine RPM. I ended up buying a filter from Radio shack and soldering it inline to the power supply for the radio and attaching an accessory (cigarette lighter) to it and the noise is gone.
Other than that it works very well. Feels solid and styled to match the iPod exactly. I think the audio level is just about right for my head unit's aux-in, btw.
Posted by Eudmin on August 24, 2004 at 5:05 AM (PST)
Interesting comments here but some clarification is needed. I just bought one of these and it works perfectly, save for the alternator noise that has been mentioned. Sik should think about adding one of these filters inline with the charger since it seems to be farily common.
Regarding the line level output, line level is line level. There typically isn't a lot of variation in the spec. The line level output from the Ipod, using either the dock or the Imp, should be the same as other line level devices like a home CD player, DVD player, tape deck, etc. Neither the Ipod nor the IMP have a "hot" line out. In cases where the radio or head unit has a line level input, the 2 devices should mate perfectly without any issues, allowing you to adjust the volume from the head unit. That's the way that home systems have worked for years.
However, it's possible that Aux input on some head units is not true line level and has some type of input gain control to compensate for use with different devices. If that's the case, you would need to adjust that input gain or if that's not possible install some type of inline attenuator that would reduce the line level input coming from the Imp.
If you want to hear what the Imp would sound like in your system before buying one, try using the Ipod doc line output and connecting to your line input or aux.
As pointed out above, don't use the Imp with the cassette adaptor.
Posted by Britbonic on August 25, 2004 at 7:16 AM (PST)
I've read all the opinions and yet I am yet to reach a conclusion about which auto kit to buy! I have a Kenwood deck with AUX inputs so I will be using them. I'm very worried about all this potential "line distortion" and what not. Is this to do with ground loop issues or something else completely? Sik or Belkin? Help!
Posted by Obsydion on September 1, 2004 at 10:31 AM (PST)
In general, the best audio quality will come from using line out of IPod and line or aux inputs on your head unit. If you have a dock connector that provides line out, you can easily test the aux input of your kenwood and see how it sounds.
I believe that people are experiencing line distortion in those cases where the aux inputs are not line level or have some type of adjustment to accomodate inputs that have lower output than line level.
The ground loop issue will vary from one vehicle to another and is not related to the line distortion. There is a very simple solution for this - charge up the Ipod before you get into the car and unplug the cable from the lighter adapter.
Posted by Britbonic on September 1, 2004 at 12:55 PM (PST)
I hate to beat a dead horse but I'll throw this out anyway.
I've just bought the new iPod and am using it with a late 1990's Nakamich head unit. This unit has RCA inputs for a CDC changer (Input Level 0.5V/Impedance 10 kohms). The inputs do not appear to be adjustable.
I have used the iPod with both the headphone jack and the dock and there is only a negligible difference in volume. I still need to use the top 1/3 of my volume scale while radio/CD works well in the middle 1/3.
At this point, I'm tempted to try the Sik unless I can find anything else.
Posted by David on September 6, 2004 at 3:53 AM (PST)
I've used Belkin's car charger and it has the nice feature of disabling the iPod's internal volume control when plugged in. Does theSik do the same thing?
Posted by John M on September 23, 2004 at 10:41 AM (PST)
I ordered the SIK DIN device, which is the Y connector that connects the power to the firewire and has a line out for audio. I am using this for my setup at home. The RCA (audio out) does not seem to get any signal for the line out of the SIK, while it gets good signal from the cradle line out or the headphone jack. What am I doing wrong? I thought the SIK DIN adapter is meant for that exact application.
Posted by MP3-is-me on October 7, 2004 at 9:35 AM (PST)
i've been using the Sik imp straight into the AUX input of my honda element for six months now. its great. no line noise, no grounding problems, nothing. perfect sound.
my only quibble is that i wish the sound out was a male jack, rather than female, so it woud go straight into the AUX, rather than needing another male-male cable to make the connection.
mine came (cali to cali) overnight via USPS. and they answered my emails the next day. great company.
Posted by biocube on October 11, 2004 at 3:04 PM (PST)
I recently purchased a Belkin car adapter. When I plug the mini ipod into it and plug it into my lighter, I get no sound out of my car speakers. Any ideas?
Posted by serenity on October 18, 2004 at 12:50 AM (PST)
Hey- new here but just "iPod-ed" my Toyota (ha) and wanted to share the experience. I came across a device much like the Icelink- transferring a line-out from the connector to the head units cd changer input for 189.00 or something close to it. This allows for control from the HU itself (ff, rw, etc.). I ended buying a dock, a car charger and a 1/8" stereo to 2-RCA converter to plug in the back of the dock, and had the aux inputs (male) from the HU plugged directly into that. The dock provides a line out, a nice upright stand for my ipod, and the connector for charging. All for about 50 bucks. Not bad considering the cost of the IceLink. Sik Imp was sold out when i checked, so idecided to go this route and could not be happier. The output level from the Ipod's line out is also somewhat low compared to my other sources, but definitely acceptable. If anyone is considering the SiK Imp or Dock versus the IceLink- I highly recommend the former. I plan on getting the NaviPod remote, as the point at which the iPod is mounted is set back in my center console and requires me to lean forward considerably when changing songs, but other than that- I couldnt be happier.

HI guys. I just had a cd player installed in my car with an AUX input so I could hook my ipod up to it. I was surprised that a cd sounded quite a bit better than my ipod through the aux input...And suggestions on getting the BEST quality?? Am I not doing something right?

"excellent location"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 24, 2012
i think its one of the nicest hotels that i have stayed in the past month of traveling this should be a 4star plus the food was great especially the friday night italian and your breakfast was also top notch
"Excellent family hotel if you don't get up early"Reviewed by Ivan V of "Naples, Italy" on May 20, 2010
Great location. Able to reach the hop on hop off bus pickup and Malta city busses in minutes. Minutes to walk to burger king/mcdonalds/hard rock Cafe. Minutes to the beach. The hotel had four swimming pools. One .2Meter kiddy pool and one .8 meter kiddy pool, and some larger, deeper pools for big kids and adults. Rented a large refrigerator for 3.50 a day. Great location. Only detractors are its in a great party location, so one Friday night we were woken up at 4am by returning revelers, and when we got up to catch an 8:40 pickup for the Hop on Hop Off tourist bus, there were still people drinking in the bars and fresh puke on the sidewalks behind the hotel.
"Nice roof swimming pools with view"Reviewed by M Jones of "London" on Sep 23, 2009
Very good location - near to shopps, restaurants, and sea front. Nice roof swimming pools, overlooking the bay. Good value for what you pay.
"Adequate and overall Satisfacrory"Reviewed by S Armstrong of "London" on Aug 11, 2009
I've read a few harsh reviews on the Canifor however this hotel represented excellent value for money. It's well situated near the coast and on top of the bus terminus and amongst bars/shops etc. Rooms are a bit small and the hotel itself has all the facilities you need although they are a bit 'worn out' Food was decent enough with plenty of it and ample choice (cooked breakfast every morning bacon, eggs, sausage etc) The dining area was a bit hectic and packed out at times due to it lacking space. Overall if you want a good base with good food, location and you plan on actually doing stuff on holiday then The Canifor is a great choice but if you are the type that likes to hang around the Hotel relaxing a lot using the facilities and entertainment then the Canifor is probably not for you (the pool and outside area is not really up to much)

"Education is very important to me. I connected with HLD in the past and it touched my heart to see the work that Louis and his organization is doing in Haiti. I decided to go with HLD as one of the charities on my mission to give back because I want to be apart of the movement that HLD is creating in Haiti. I am of Haitian descent and HLD's mission is in agreement with the impact I hope my book(s) will have on the youth today."

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago, IL 60614
SIGNS OF LIFE, a new drama with music based on the true story of the Czech ghetto Theresienstadt, tells one of the most fascinating and least known stories of the Holocaust. Originally founded by the Nazis, Theresienstadt was specifically designated for the academic and artistic Jews of Europe. In an attempt to deceive the Red Cross and sway public perception, the Nazis decided to "beautify" the ghetto and commission a propaganda film. SIGNS OF LIFE shows the struggles of the captives of Theresienstadt as they try to expose the truth through art and music--and in doing so, discover the humanity they all share.

PLAY ME, my third book with Ellora's Cave releases on Friday, March 11. I'm super excited about this book. I just love a dark, tortured hero!
Lily Hamilton had her quiet, predictable life all mapped out, including a hot-shot attorney for a fiancé. That is until she catches him screwing around and takes off in his prized Mercedes, for once not giving a damn where shes headed. How clichéd is that?
Gabriel Jackson is raw and disillusioned. Driving a tow truck is a far cry from the dangerous career he turned his back on, but when he finds the classy blonde in a dangerous part of LA, hes immediately back in the role of protector.
Lily is hot and sweet and so out of his league its not funny, yet Gabe cant deny the sizzling heat between them. He thinks he wants hard, fast and roughuntil he gets his hands on her. He knows he should stay the hell away, but Lily makes him feel, really feel for the first time in two years. Is she just slumming or can she see beyond the harsh, broken façade to the man beneath? A man who dreams of making her his?
Warning: contains a hot, leanly muscled bad boy who knows he should stay away, but he can't. Not once he's had his hands on Lily.
Of the many kisses shed experienced, of the few lovers shed had, of the year and a half shed been with Ianno, wasted on IanLily had never experienced anything like the sensations shed gotten during those minutes of his mouth on hers, his body pressing into her. Or had it been only seconds?>>
She licked lips that felt swollen. He tasted like coffee, or maybe that came from her. She thought shed been ready that second time, but when hed taken control She was still tingling from it. She took a deep breath and looked up.>>
God, his eyes.>>
They were dark, like everything else about him, but it was a deep-blue rimmed with a border of navy or black that made his gaze that much more intense. It was a look that saw everything in an instant and she shivered under his piercing stare, not from fear or even from the cold, but from something she didnt have a name for.>>
Where shed gotten the courage to kiss him like that, shed never know. Shed never done anything remotely like that before. She should have been scared, cautious at the very least, yet somehow knew shed be safe with him. Hed done something extraordinary for her, knowingly risked himself for her, and it was weird, but she felt connected to him on some elemental level she couldnt even begin to understand. She was thankful, of course she was, but gratitude didnt have her heart racing, her stomach flip-flopping, her body singing. Did it? Jeez, who was she kidding? She ached in places that usually only came alive after long and intense stimulation of the solo kind.>>
All she knew was that she hadnt been able to just let him walk away. Not yet.>>
C-Come inside, she whispered.>>
Yeah, and she so totally sucked at stuff like this.>>
When his gaze slid down to the juncture of her thighs, heat bloomed in her cheeks, low in her belly, between her legs.>>
With me. I meant come inside with me. Although She took a deep breath and rushed on before she chickened out. You can come inside me too. Well, well have to use protection, of course, but>>
Lily. Gabe closed his eyes briefly and groaned.>>
Its okay. You know, if you dont want to, I mean.>>
God >>
His gaze slid over her in a hot caress resting on nipples she could feel hard and erect against the thin silk of her dress. Her stomach clenched. It wasnt exactly a no.>>
She swallowed. She should probably give him fair warning. You know. She licked her lips. I-Ive never done anything like this.>>
Adrenaline, he dismissed. Its just the adrenaline.>>
She shook her head. No. I dont think so. I just She looked at him, tried to ignore the tremor in her limbs and went for it. Ive never wanted like this before. Never so quickly, but never, ever, she glanced away, like this.>>
God, she probably sounded as if she had a screw loose or something. What happened to all that girl talk that assured a woman could get laid whenever she wanted, at the snap of her fingers? All of her friends had had one-night stands. Okay, they might not have been proud of them exactly, but theyd all expounded on the benefits of no-strings sex. After having the evidence that the relationship route hadnt exactly been working for her, didnt she deserve some uncomplicated pleasure herself? She was entitled, wasnt she?>>
His jaw flexed and his gaze bore into hers. He took a couple deep breaths. He seemed to be weighing his options. Jeez, she didnt want to have to twist his arm.>>
Why the fuck not? he finally muttered.>>
The bottom dropped right out of Lilys stomach. Okay, not exactly the resounding response shed been hoping for, but she could run with it, couldnt she? If she could get her nerves under control and didnt make a complete fool of herself, of course.>>
She frowned when he opened the passenger door and leaned in. His gaze was direct on hers when he straightened, a small square packet held unapologetically in his hand as if he wanted to be certain she saw it.>>
Are you sure? he rasped.>>
Her heart thundered, her throat was dry and the damn trembling was back. Especially when it registered he was holding more than one.>>
God, she hadnt been exaggerating when she said shed never done anything like this before and she couldnt say why she was now exactly. Sex had always been a natural progression in the relationships shed had. After a reasonable time, after getting to know someone, after feeling a connection that came with spending time together, but this This was a driving, aching need, a want so powerful it drove her to seize the moment, to not let him just walk away and to hell with the fact she didnt know a thing about him. She just wanted to learn every inch of him, run her hands over the hard body shed felt pressed against her, feel him on her, in her. She was drawn to him, her body attuned to his, every nerve ending tingling alive for him. And after knowing shed wasted a year and a half of her life on a one-sided relationship, a farce, well, she was done with that.>>
Shed never gone for the bad-boy type before either. There was definitely something savage and untamed about him, something held tightly under control. Hed come tearing in, literally guns blazing and saved her from a fate that just might have been worse than death. It was hot and arousing. He was hot with this rough and rugged appearance, there was no doubt, but there was something almost vulnerable about him as well, something that reached out to her, as if he needed someone to keep him safe too. It was ridiculous. She knew it was. He was probably the last person whod be in need of protection. He clearly didnt need it, wouldnt want it and probably wouldnt appreciate it.>>
Mouth dry, she nodded.>>

New York state election, 1954
The 1954 New York state election was held on November 2, 1954, to elect the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the State Comptroller, the Attorney General, the Chief Judge and three associate judges of the New York Court of Appeals, as well as all members of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate.
This was the first election in which the voters were required to cast a single joint vote for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, following the amendment to the State Constitution in 1953.
Chief Judge Edmund H. Lewis would reach the constitutional age limit of 70 years at the end of the year. He was elected in 1953, and John Van Voorhis was re-appointed on January 1, 1954, to the seat vacated by Lewis, to fill the vacancy temporarily.
Albert Conway and Charles S. Desmond had been elected to the Court of Appeals in 1940, thus their 14-year terms would expire at the end of the year.
The Socialist Workers nominated David L. Weiss (b. ca. 1914), electronics worker, for Governor; Dorothy Haines, of Buffalo, for Lieutenant Governor; Harold Robins, of New York City, for Comptroller; and Catherine Gratta (b. ca. 1922), machine inspector, of Brooklyn, for Attorney General.[1]
The American Labor Party nominated John T. McManus for Governor; actress Karen Morley for Lieutenant Governor; Ralph Powe, lawyer, for Comptroller (the only Negro running for a statewide elective office this year); and George W. Fish, lawyer, of Brooklyn, for Attorney General.[2]
The Socialist Labor Party filed a petition to nominate candidates as the Industrial Government Party on September 30. The ticket had only three names: Nathan Karp for Governor; Stephen Emery for Lieutenant Governor; and John Emanuel for Comptroller.[3]
Almost the whole Democratic/Liberal ticket was elected, only Republican Jacob K. Javits managed to be elected Attorney General.
The incumbents Van Voorhis and Desmond were re-elected.
The American Labor Party lost its automatic ballot access and disbanded shortly afterwards.

The Return of Beck
August 20, 2011Solid.
That's the only way to describe John Beck's performance in his first start as an NFL QB since 2007 - when he was a rookie with a then very bad Miami Dolphins team that finished 1-15.
Completing 14/17 passes for 140 yards and running twice for 17 total yards, Beck led the Redskins to scores on their first four possessions.
Yes, only one of those scores was a TD, and yes Beck gave up a couple of sacks in the red zone which helped stall the Redskins, but John Beck's efficient management of the offense, accuracy, and mobility contributed to long drives and a lobsided time of possesion of 23:07 in the first half that led to 16 1st-half points in a game that finished 16-3.
A week after a good performance from Rex Grossman against the Steelers, the pressure and hype surrounding John Beck's shining moment and debut had reached a surprising level considering it was just preseason - but in reality, there was a lot riding on this performance.
Ever since John Beck was the first signed of the Redskins quarterbacks last year (before McNabb and Grossman), the Shanahans have touted Beck as a capable player and starter. Head Coach Mike Shanahan stated his reputation on it. Kyle Shanahan reportedly stood on a table vouching for Beck years ago during pre-NFL draft meetings in Texas. And John Beck, himself, spoke with a air of confidence all summer long that almost seemed unjustified considering his 4-year sabbatical from real play on the field.
Not only did John Beck play well for himself, as he ratches up a couple notches the competition with Grossman for starting QB, but he made his coaches look good. All the positive comments regarding Beck by Mike and Kyle Shanahan seem to be justified. In time, those comments may seem genius.
In John Beck's personal narrative, Indianapolis - the site of this year's Super Bowl - may be where the Return of Beck begins.
That said, Grossman has his own redemption story he wants to write so the next chapter should be equally interesting as the Redskins head to Baltimore next week for their 3rd preseason bout with the Ravens.
This game will probably be the final round of the Grossman vs. Beck QB competition to see who starts the regular season opener versus the Giants on September 11th.
Right now, it seems that Beck may have the edge. The competition may already be over.
Skins-Colts Wrap
August 20, 2011Cutting to the chase, John Beck looked very good. How good? His performance was better than Grossman's against Pittsburgh. Not by much, but on pure football ability, Beck's mobility and athleticism give him an advantage over Grossman, especially in the Shanahan system which requires quarterback mobility. Does it mean he's the starter against the Giants on opening day? Not sure but we'll learn a lot over the next six days. I think the starter in Baltimore on Thursday night is the starter on opening day. It probably comes down to the following question. Is Grossman's experience more important than Beck's mobility to the Shanahans? After tonight, my gut tells me Beck. If it isn't Beck, then the whole notion of him being preordained as the starter gets shot to hell.
With all that said and all that will be said below, don't forget that tonight was just a preseason game and the Colts were awful. And by the way, they played without #18.
The good, bad, and more right here.
The Good:
1. The Offense---Like last week, the offense was in sync from the start. Beck was sharp leading an offense to scores on its first four drives. Don't get too hung up on lack of touchdowns in the red zone. Red-zone game planning is seldom a primary focus for preseason games. Let's wait until the regular season before getting red-zone anxious. Bottom line, 415 total yards of offense with 287 of them coming on the first 4 drives of the game is awfully fun to watch even if it is just a preseason game.
2. Running Backs---Hightower and Helu were very good tonight and made runs that Portis in recent years wasn't capable of making. Any thought of Helu not making the final roster should be forgotten. They appear to be deep at running back when you add Torrain and Royster to Helu and Hightower. Additionally, fullback Darrell Young has impressed in the first two games. Tonight, another catch and nifty yards after the grab.
3. Jamall Brown---He's a difference-maker on the o-line now that he's completely healthy. His re-signing was huge!
4. Terrence Austin---He produces when he gets chances.....tonight as punt returner. He looks like the returner if Banks is injured.
5. Defensive Front 7---So much better talent-wise than in recent years. Unlike last week, they did a great job of stopping the run holding the Colts to 1 total rushing yard in the first half. Some tough decisions coming in a few weeks especially at linebacker. Special teams contributors will have a big advantage.
6. Graham Gano---3 for 3 on field goals and a major weapon with the new 35-yd kickoff rule. No chance he isn't the kicker on opening day.
The Bad:
Beck's Indy Debut + 3 More Things To Watch
August 19, 2011Beck:
It's just a preseason game tonight in Indy but for John Beck, it's a put up or shut up moment. I doubt his perfomance tonight, good or bad, will stop him from talking but at least his audience will have an action image to place next to the words.
Are there ramifications to his peformance tonight? According to many including my partner Thom Loverro, probably not. Thom and others believe he's the Shanahan's "all-in" quarterback play. As in, their entire stack of QB chips pushed center-table on a hand featuring a pair of Becks. Is that pair of Becks equal to a pair of Aces? We'll know a little more tonight.
If he plays poorly and starts the all-important third preseason game next week in Baltimore, then we've got the first concrete proof that Beck has been the guy all along. If he plays poorly and Rex starts next week, it probably says less about the "all-in" on Beck theory and more about playing the guy who's ready.
If he plays well tonight and starts next week, he's likely been the guy and is the guy. If he plays well tonight and doesn't start next week, then the "all-in" on Beck theory takes a big hit.
As a fan, I'm hoping that Beck plays well. His mobility, athleticism, and arm-strength are supposedly much better than Grossman's. We know Rex's limitations. Right now, we don't that Beck has any unless you believe that Bill Parcells and Ozzie Newsome are pretty good judges of talent.
3 Non-QB Things to Watch for Tonight:
1. Pass Protection-- The first-team offensive line showed better athleticism and cohesion last week than we saw a year ago. It's only the preseason but they'll get tested again tonight. Another solid showing would start building confidence that 2011 could produce an improved o-line situation.
2. Roy Helu-- Helu will get his chance tonight to show he's worth keeping. He's much more explosive than their other backs. I've heard some say he's not a home run threat....not true. He was a take-it-to-the-house possibility every time he touched at Nebraska.
3. Ryan Kerrigan-- He was far from comfortable last week against Pittsburgh but he showed great strength and a big-time motor. He strikes me as a guy who will get better with each game. Tonight is the next game.
Beck's Shining Moment
August 18, 2011The competition begins in Indianapolis.
After a summer of positive talk, leadership during unofficial practices, a groin pull, and one preseason game, John Beck will finally take the helm as starting QB to prove to the coaching staff, fellow teammates, and fans alike - that he, and not Rex Grossman, should be the #1 guy to start for the Redskins come regular season.
Most pro-Beck/anti-Grossman fans will contend that you know what you have with Grossman. Up until now, one of the greatest arguments for Beck has been the mystery factor. His upside is unknown; his peak abilities are a secret.
Rex Grossman, however, would certainly argue with the premise of this argument: that he can't improve. Grossman proved his critics wrong in the preseason opener, but he'll clearly need to do much more to earn the respect he wants.
And that's why there's certainly a bit of intrigue surrounding this preseason game - because the secret of Beck will finally begin to unveil itself and the Grossman vs. Beck competition will finally be in full swing.
If Beck out-performs Grossman Friday night, the needle will tilt in Beck's favor obviously.
If Beck and Grossman play equally well (or worse), then a tie may still go in Beck's favor.
If, however, Beck crumbles under the bright lights and Grossman gives another solid performance, then perhaps the Shanahans' master plan may be in a bit of a quandary.
Either way, preseason is very relevant for the Redskins, Grossman, and Beck - and could signal either the beginning of redemption (for Grossman), the beginning of an era (with Beck), or time to kill until next season with both of them.

Camp Concerns
August 10, 2011
Redskins training camp 2011 has been referred to as "Camp Calm," by some.
As opposed to the normal circus that comes to Ashburn this time of the year, it seems like football and trying to improve a once very successful franchise is the top story line.
Fine by me, until "Sexy Rexy" Rex Grossman made the Redskins a target for national laughter by proclaiming to Comcast SportsNet that the Redskins were much better then anybody with red blood flowing through their veins, thinks they are.
"We're just waiting in the wings ready to take over the NFC East. Nobody's talking about us, it's right where we wanna be. You look at us from top to bottom out here, there's a bunch of great players. And we don't need people saying we're the best right now. But when it's all said and done, I really feel like this team's gonna win the [NFC] East."
I have no problem with Rex being confident. I know he is. He told me last week off-air here at Redskins Park - that he thought this team was going to be really special and that the offense was better then the Chicago Bears unit he helped lead to a Super Bowl loss.
However, and I stress -- this is me nit-picking; I just wish that Rex would have played the ZipIt.com game -- and not said anything at all. Let the world think you are only going to win three games, and the Eagles are going to run wild over the division.
Don't give them anything to chew on, rip on or ridicule. It's one thing to say that in the locker room or to your family, or to your friends -- but the media is only going to exploit it. It's what the media lives for.
The only thing worse -- would have been if John Beck said it. He's already been picked on, shredded and critiqued to no end for his confident stance. Could you imagine the jokes Jay Leno and Dave Letterman would have made at that point?
OK, maybe that wouldn't have happened -- but hopefully you get the point.
So this is a mild concern, heading in to the pre season opener against Pittsburgh on Friday night (3:30/7:30; ESPN 980 AM, 94.3 & 92.7 FM, SIRIUS XM, Redskins Radio Network).
Here are some other concerns through a weird & wild training camp:
**The Redskins receivers have had entirely too many drops. Leonard Hankerson has been chief among them, routinely dropping a pass almost every practice. Tuesday, he had two drops in team drills.
It's going to happen. I understand that, however Kyle Shanahan told me on Wednesday "We dropped way too many balls today. That's the receivers job. They have to catch the ball."
**Kyle and Mike Shanahan were clearly not happy with some of the general sloppy ness that the Redskins showed in their final full practice of the week. The younger Shanahan, thought it was because the coaches decided to take off the full shoulder pads and limit any kind of physicality. Kyle Shanahan was as miffed as I've seen him, saying "they change their mind sets" and that the staff would be more then happy to put them back on -- if the mistakes continue.
Newly signed RG, Chris Chester had a false start in team drills, as did Niles Paul among other mistakes.
Chester, as noted by John Keim of the Washington Examiner, has also struggled in 1-on-1 drills, http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/nfl/2011/08/practice-report-redskins-analysis-aug-10 , and last week -- got absolutely man-handled by rookie Jarvis Jenkins. The rookie's eyes lit up last Saturday, as I reminded him of that, when he joined me on ESPN-980's Fan Appreciation Day coverage.
**Tim Hightower has flashed great bursts of speed and a nice ability to turn the corner, when he holds on to the football and doesn't fall down for seemingly no reason. I honestly do not keep statistics like some of the other beat guys do - but it's hard not to see the upside that Hightower brings -- if he can avoid turnovers and mysterious dirt dives.
**The health of John Beck has to be a concern. This week, he hasn't been able to do what makes John Beck special in the coaches eyes. Clearly, it's not a serious injury -- because Beck has participated to varying degrees in every practice this week since tweaking his groin last Saturday.
However, you just never know when the injury will crop up again, and with the amount of mobility required in the offensive scheme, it is more likely to happen then not. Beck SHOULD NOT play Friday night against Pittsburgh and while Mike and Kyle Shanahan refuse to say it -- I would be willing to bet the ranch on Beck being down in the pre-season opener.
**The health of TE- Chris Cooley, KR-Brandon Banks and SS LaRon Landry is worrisome, to say the least, but all three should be ready to go for the season opener in a month against the Giants. I am more concerned long term about Landry, as should you. The early bye week for the Redskins (after Week # 4) might help the team stay fresher in late October and early November -- but by Thanksgiving -- Landry could be dealing with some problems (from the lack of rest) going in to the toughest part of the schedule.
***Tackling will be an issue in the pre-season and all year. The best you can hope for -- is that the Redskins defense is better at it because they are younger and more athletic then in years past. LB Coach Lou Spanos is not that concerned, based on a short conversation I had with him on Wednesday night -- saying the team has been working a lot on the fundamentals of wrapping up.

Supposed Roster Locks That Could Get Cut
August 05, 2011The 53-man roster guessing game before a team has their first padded practice is really worthless. Many of us (me included) do it for fun but the chances of predicting all or even most of the 53 correctly in early August are close to impossible. Even the good teams with the expectation of minimal roster turnover end up with 3-4 surprise cuts. Teams like the Redskins usually end up with 5 or more.
Here is a ridiculously early long-shot guess on 5 players that most assume are final roster locks that when all is said and done could get cut.
1. Anthony Armstrong--Armstrong came out of nowhere to make the team last year and he produced during the regular season. However, last year's competition for roster spots wasn't much to write home about, see Joey Galloway and Roydell Williams. This year's training camp list of competitors appears to be much better. Shanahan drafted three receivers and brought in another two via free agency and trade. Armstrong's special teams play will work in his favor. With that said, I think he's going to have to earn his roster spot over the next month.
2. Keiland Williams--Williams was a key contributor last year, particularly on third down. With that said, there was nothing special about his performance and I could see the team finding something better. He might get a look at fullback before camp is done but if he's a RB, he'll have to battle for the 4th spot (if they keep 4) behind Torrain, Helu, and Hightower.
3. John Beck--Yes, I said it! We know nothing about him and I'm convinced that Shanahan and Son don't view him as their #1. What if he soils himself in preseason and it becomes apparent that Grossman and Clemons are much better? What if another veteran becomes available late in preseason that makes more sense than a struggling and hopeless Beck? I wouldn't bet on it but at the same time, the narrative on Beck could be totally different in 2-3 weeks.
4. Nick Sundberg--Was Sundberg really that good last year? I could see a scenario where a solid veteran long-snapper gets released from another team and the Skins pick him up shortly before the regular season.
5. Mike Sellers--I'm a big fan of Sellers and I'd like to see him on the final roster. However, he's old and they're going young.
The five mentioned would be stunners. Others that would surprise but not shock would include Gano, Banks, Moore, McIntosh, Hicks, Buchanon.
The First Steps
July 31, 2011
The Washington Redskins are finally back in familiar territory. The rules are very different, the faces are familiar in some cases -- yet foreign in others.
Finally, however -- football is back. Training Camp 2011 officially began on Thursday, with just over 60 players under contract (including all 12 rookie draft picks) taking the field for the first time on Friday morning in the searing heat.
Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen made it a peaceful start to the new season -- by trading Donovan McNabb to the Vikings for a 6th round pick in 2012 and a conditional pick in 2013 to eliminate one huge distraction.
The Redskins gave their fans, players and most importantly the media (just kidding) a huge early Christmas present by trading the worst free agent acquisition of all time, not just in Redskins history -- but in professional sports history -- getting rid of Albert Haynesworth.
Washington essentially took back a bag of dirty, water logged footballs and 25 sweaty, stretched out jock straps to get rid of the cancer that had invaded Redskins Park for the last two years - but anything is better then absolutely nothing.
After disposing of two mammoth sized distractions -- it almost feels like the Redskins are once again -- a football organization that is just trying to get better, instead of one that consistently has made god awful decisions every chance they had.
That being said - they have a long way to go. Training camp so far is very limited, not only by the amount of players, but by the amount of contact. Mike Shanahan said on Saturday morning that he won't have the Redskins in full shoulder pads for most of the week, if not the entire week ahead. He's putting a high emphasis on his normal coach-speak of getting his players in "football shape" which is all fine and good -- but the first pre season game is quickly approaching.
Washington hosts Pittsburgh in less then two weeks, and oh by the way -- that will be a game with live tackling (in case you did not remember) and I think your body has to be used to that pounding.
Nevertheless -- here's what has jumped out (good and not so-good) about the first two days of camp.
**John Beck really struggled with the deep-ball accuracy in Saturday's practice. Beck did everything flawlessly, to the non-scouting eye, on play-action, his boot rolls, the footwork -- until it came time to release the ball on a deep pattern. The ball seemed to consistently wobble from the point of release and he was largely inaccurate.
Beck missed new WR Jabar Gaffney deep when hurried by a blitz by Oshiomogho Atogwe. Beck also overthrew Anthony Armstrong a couple of times on deeper routes. Beck also missed an underneath check off, leading RB James Davis too far.
Beck did look share on most of his underneath throws, going (7-8) at one point, per John Keim of the Washington Examiner.
**Some rookies that have flashed at times -- LB Markus White looks like he has good athleticism for a 260 + pound guy. White showed good side-to-side lateral pursuit, picking through traffic on one particular run to his far side on Saturday. White has lined up at LOLB, with the injury to first round pick, Ryan Kerrigan.
Offensive Tackle Willie Smith stoned White in Saturday's practice on one particular rush, drawing praise from offensive line coach, Chris Foerster. Smith, is raw -- having only played left-tackle at East Carolina for two years -- but he has practiced some at guard in the post season all star game season, and so far has looked like the tempo and new environment is not too much.
Roy Helu really stood out in Friday's practice, not as much on Saturday. Helu has been called the ideal back by scouts for Mike Shanahan's one-cut zone run offense. Helu has really good first step explosion, once he plants his foot and turns up-the-field.
***Mike Sellers is clearly battling for his career as a member of the Redskins. He has not been a great lead blocker as a full back for the last two years. He is a good pass weapon out of the backfield, and of course a core special teams veteran.
Kevin Sheehan and I speculated on Thursday morning, before camp even began - that Mike Sellers was in some trouble in terms of a battle for a roster spot.
On Friday - Sellers was used primarily as a tight end. On Saturday - Sellers was used in the same role, as the Redskins used some more motion sets and even flexed Sellers out wide. He did have one ball go off his hands on an attempted one handed grab.
The bottom line is this -- Mike Sellers, at his age and salary -- needs a lot to go right for him. The fact that he is a big part of the Redskins special teams units helps a lot, but the Redskins have one mission besides trying to win.
Get younger and get cheaper.
***One last item -- the defensive line looks so much better. Probably, because we know that the additions of Barry Cofield and Stephen Bowen are imminent on the field, but just in general. Jarvis Jenkins has worked at both end spots in practice so far. He can also shade over the nose, when asked to do so. Cofield played over the nose at Northwestern. On Saturday, Cofield said he has familiarity with the Redskins defense, which has principles based on the Steelers 3-4 -- from his time with former Giants Coordinator, Tim Lewis. Lewis has Pittsburgh roots as well.
Bowen says his go-to pass rush move is a "stutter" move to catch offensive lineman off guard, and allow him to get them off their base. Here's the bottom line -- if Jenkins has a good camp/pre-season and maybe this is too optimistic -- the starting defensive line for the season opener against the Giants could be Jenkins, Cofield & Bowen; with Adam Carriker, Anthony Bryant and Vonnie Holliday as the top three reserves.
Sounds better, doesn't it?

"It's Over. We're allowed in"
July 25, 2011The relieved words of John Beck never sounded so good to hear. Commissioner Roger Goodell added "Football's back."
Welcome back, sweet pigskin. It's great to finally have you matter again.
It's going to be wonderful to NOT mention terms like "decertification" and "anti trust."
If those words fell off the face of the earth -- nobody would miss them. I know I won't.
The doors officially open for business on Tuesday morning, and while there will be plenty of rumors (Santonio Holmes, Nnamdi Asomugha?) -- only one fact truly exists.
The next few weeks will be pandemonium.
One topic du jour -- will be who will be under center (whoever that is) on September 11?
John Beck is the assumed starter at Quarterback for the Redskins, but it is far from being a done deal.
"They're going to re-sign Rex definetly. They've told me that," Beck told the "Sports Reporters "on ESPN 980 Monday afternoon.
"It makes sense, I know they like him as well," Beck said.
Beck says he was told that (about Grossman) as recently as late April. Grossman is an unrestricted free agent.
As for other slightly more famous gun slinger in town; Beck says he was not told anything about Donovan McNabb.
"I haven't asked what's going to happen." Beck said he was consumed by the learning process, trying to immerse himself in Kyle Shanahan's offense.
Beck hasn't played in a regular season game since his rookie season. He took over a miserable Dolphins team that won 1 game the entire year -- under Cam Cameron. Beck did not fare well, as would be expected.
Beck told Andy Pollin and Steve Czaban "I made mistakes," in Miami -- "We were (0-9), I made some bad plays." which again; to anybody with half a brain is completely understandable.
Beck was drafted by the Dolphins 40th overall, a few spots after Kevin Kolb -- who is the hottest QB commodity in the league. He had a falling out with Bill Parcells -- who took over the Dolphins front office after Cameron was fired.
It was on to Baltimore -- where Beck was instantly behind Joe Flacco & then Marc Bulger was also added. It's kind of hard to win a job over a first round pick, who took his team to the AFC Championship game in his rookie season, and a smart, productive veteran who excelled when healthy.
Yet, Beck has been universally hammered by critics and skeptics alike, for being anointed as the next savior of the Redskins, by head coach Mike Shanahan. In reality, Beck knows that the job is not his - and Shanahan would NEVER just automatically give the soon to be 30-year old gung-ho gunslinger the job.
"Obviously, I believe," Beck said of his chances. "This is the obstacle in front of me."
Beck is extremely smart, confident, unselfish and motivated. In professional sports, it is a hard combination to find. No matter what you read and think; Beck is talented.
Will he succeed? That depends on those around him. Which brings us to the next phase. Who will the Redskins surround the pocket with? Wild prediction time!
My guesses: OT- Ryan Harris; (free agent, Denver), Willie Smith; (undrafted free agent, ECU), Sidney Rice; (free agent, Minnesota).
On defense: DE - Stephen Bowen; (free agent, Dallas), ILB - Kevin Burnett; (free agent, San Diego); CB - Brent Grimes; (free agent, Atlanta).
Special Teams: P - Brad Maynard; (free agent, CHI)
See you soon at Redskins Park!

Redskins 53-Man Roster Wild Guess
July 18, 2011This is nuts to do before free agency but that's why it's called a "wild guess". Here it goes...a crazy wild guess on the Skins Week-One 53-man roster. Free agents signed from other teams will appear in bold.
QB--Rex Grossman, John Beck, Scott Tolzien (Wisc.-undrafted free agent)
RB--Ryan Torrain, Roy Helu Jr., Evan Royster
FB--Mike Sellers, Darrell Young
TE--Chris Cooley, Fred Davis, Logan Paulson
WR--Santana Moss, Anthony Armstrong, Leonard Hankerson, Malcom Kelly, Brandon Banks, Aldrick Robinson
OL--Trent Williams, Kory Lichtensteiger, Casey Rabach, Marshal Yanda (Balt.), Jamall Brown, Will Montgomery
, Artis Hicks, Clint Oldenburg
NT--Aubreyo Franklin (San Fran.), Anthony Bryant, Chris Neild
DE--Adam Carriker, Jarvis Jenkins, Stephen Bowen (Dallas), Jeremy Jarmon, Vonnie Holliday
OLB--Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan, Lorenzo Alexander, Chris Wilson
ILB--London Fletcher, Perry Riley, Justin Durant (Jacksonville)
, Robert Henson
CB--DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson (Balt.), Kevin Barnes, Byron Westbrook, Brandyn Thompson
S--Laron Landry, OJ Otogwe, Kareem Moore, DeJon Gomes
SP Teams
K-Graham Gano
P-Brad Maynard (Chic.)
LS-Nick Sundberg
Marc Bulger?
July 06, 2011Are the Redskins really going to enter 2011 with either Rex Grossman or John Beck as their starting quarterback? They odds are they will but I'm not betting on it. I still believe that behind closed doors the talk goes something like this---"Rex or Beck, are you kidding me?"
There is an option in free agency that makes sense for the Skins. Marc Bulger. For starters, he's healthy again. Secondly, Kyle Shanahan reportedly wanted him instead of McNabb last year. Thirdly, Bulger started for Jim Haslett in St. Louis and Haslett liked him. Lastly, Bulger is a good fit for Washington. He can make every throw and he's accurate. He's smart and coachable. Assuming health, he's more mobile than you would think. He'd have to learn a new system and learn it quickly but bottom line, he's much more talented than Grossman and much more ready than Beck. He's also affordable at 34 years old.
Next week could be a blast. Picture the end of the lockout followed by the beginning of a two-week free agent frenzy. Nearly 500 free agents could be looking for work. The Redskins have needs with plenty of cap room. They'll be busy for sure and Bulger could be a target.

Get Living Without's FREE Recipe of the Week
Delicious allergy-friendly recipes for you and your family
Food for Thought
Apr/May 2011 Issue
Life Lessons
© Aaron Rogosin Photography
Dinner out always began the same way. The waiter approached the table, ready to take our order. My mother fixed her eyes on me, prompting me with a gentle but meaningful glance. And together we began our well-rehearsed explanation of my numerous food allergies. As we went over them all, milk, eggs, nuts, peanuts, shellfish, we watched him intently, searching his face for signs that he understood and could help me navigate the menu safely.
Even when I was very young, my parents insisted that I take part in this explanation, that I do some of the talking. Meal by meal, my mother taught me how to communicate about my food allergies, how to be firm without being alarmist, polite without being passive. I knew she was always there backing me up, keeping me safe in a potentially dangerous environment.
Each meal ended with another restaurant ritual. The waiter brought the check and I reached for it. My dad and I examined the total, discussing the bill in serious, hushed tones. Together, we calculated the tip and discussed an issue of utmost importance, a tradition that we called "the extra dollar." The rule was this: those who made an extra effort to keep me safe, to help me negotiate the perils of an unfamiliar menu, got a 20 percent tip plus an extra dollar. It was a small, symbolic gesture of thanks, an expression of gratitude that was my decision alone. It gave me a sense of control at every restaurant, places that often felt alien and dangerous, each meal holding unknown risk.
These two rituals were a part of every breakfast, lunch and dinner my family ate at a restaurant. With these well-rehearsed customs on hand and my parents behind me, I knew I was safe and that nothing bad would happen. In this way, I was able to dine out without fear.
As I grew older, these traditions became more and more my responsibility. I took on the job of fending for myself as my parents observed, honing with a pointer here, a reminder there. Eventually,
I was able to strike out on my own.
Looking back, I realize that it was about more than just food allergies. Yes, my parents were concerned for my health and well-being. They were trying to instill habits that would let me live safely with my allergies and express my thanks to those who assisted along the way. But they were also teaching me how to be independent, empowering me to look out for myself. These rituals helped me grow as a person. They taught me the value of responsibility, respect and good communication.
My parents never wanted my food allergies to define me. Instead, by teaching me how to manage my allergies, they gave me the tools to succeed, not just in a restaurant—but in life.

This is such a wonderful article especially from a parents perpective. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am hopeful my son will know the effort that I invest in his food allergies whether it is dining out, parties, or meals at home.

made this tonight for my family of 4 was very good.i marinaded the chicken in the peanut sauce for about 1 hour in the fridge then breaded and fried them. did not have apricot jam for the dip... so i used marmelade instead and still turned out great.
Pretty good recipe. Don't microwave the sauce, rather heat it in a skillet.

This was not cheap to make the Chinese spice was $3 alone. The peanutbutter sauce is VERY bitter and salty.
This is a favorite in our house. I bake the chicken at 350 for 15-20 minutes rather than frying it. I always steam carrots to go with it because the sauce goes very well with them also.
