I really do love this thread. VERY impressive! And thanks for all the pictures, everybody! (and hi iniQuity, Patrick, everybody...)
Can be hard to maintain... or rather, can be hard around mediocre ass people trying to drag you down! However, I definitely started thinking my slip-ups couldn't be that bad, and still think that way, but the added poundage does say otherwise. Fairly confident just about a month or so of pseudo-ketosis is all I need to get back to fat burning mode.
I really do love this thread. VERY impressive! And thanks for all the pictures, everybody! (and hi iniQuity, Patrick, everybody...)

Johnny767, your avatar is appropriate because all I could think was "OMG it's Daniel Craig's Primal Twin!" I think I scrolled between your before and after pic about 10x; the change in your face is unbelievable...and yeah, the body too *blush*
Wow betty and gravyboat! those are some awesome progress pictures. *very cool!*
If you're interested in my (very) occasional updates on how I'm working out and what I'm eating click here.
Timothy wow that is so cool. Congrats on the transformation! I love seeing people change their lives!
Hi All,
Last year at this time I changed my lifestyle. With encouragement from a coworker and indirectly comments in a newspaper online I investigated The Ancestral Health Movement. I read the science behind the benefits of Low Carb High Fat, and High Intensity Interval Training. I chose LCHF over strict Paleo and Primal. I increased my workouts with my trainer to twice a week, incorporated occasional sprinting, and have recently added Intermittent Fasting. I read tons on Marks Daily Apple and The Eating Academy. Here are the benefits I've experienced: My middle of the night insomnia is much improved. I no longer am a slave to hunger, I eat only when hungry, at times fasting through breakfast. Minimal snacking. I have lost 20 lbs (all in the first 6 months). My body composition has completely changed. Strength gains in workouts. My skin is softer with fewer blemishes. I have cut out processed foods, sugar, and refined carbs. I eat meat, fish, vegetables, berries, full fat fermented dairy-yogurt, creme fraiche and cheese, butter, nuts, dark chocolate, tea and coffee, and occasional alcohol.
I've presented some of my journey previously, but here again is the before:

Clive James AO CBE (born Vivian Leopold James on 7 October 1939) is an Australian author, critic, broadcaster, poet, translator and memoirist, best known for his autobiographical series Unreliable Memoirs, for his chat shows and documentaries on British television and for his prolific journalism. He has lived and worked in the United Kingdom since the early 1960s.
Early life[edit]
James was born in Kogarah, a southern suburb of Sydney. He was allowed to change his name as a child because "after Vivien Leigh played Scarlett O'Hara the name became irrevocably a girl's name no matter how you spelled it".[1]
James' father was taken prisoner by the Japanese during World War II. Although he survived the prisoner of war camp, he died when the aeroplane returning him to Australia crashed in Manila Bay; he was buried in Hong Kong. James, who was an only child, was brought up by his mother, a factory worker,[2] in the Sydney suburb of Kogarah, after living some years with his English maternal grandfather.[1]
In Unreliable Memoirs, James says an IQ test taken in childhood put his IQ at 140.[3] He was educated at Sydney Technical High School (despite winning a bursary award to Sydney Boys High School) and the University of Sydney, where he studied Psychology and became associated with the Sydney Push, a libertarian, intellectual subculture. At the university, he edited the student newspaper, Honi Soit, and directed the annual Union Revue. After graduating, James worked for a year as an assistant editor for The Sydney Morning Herald.
In early 1962, James moved to England, where he made his home. During his first three years in London, he shared a flat with the Australian film director Bruce Beresford (disguised as "Dave Dalziel" in the first three volumes of James' memoirs), was a neighbour of Australian artist Brett Whiteley, became acquainted with Barry Humphries (disguised as "Bruce Jennings") and had a variety of occasionally disastrous short-term jobs (sheet metal worker, library assistant, photo archivist, market researcher).
James later gained a place at Pembroke College, Cambridge, to read English literature. While there, he contributed to all the undergraduate periodicals, was a member and later President of the Cambridge Footlights, and appeared on University Challenge as captain of the Pembroke team, beating St Hilda's, Oxford but losing to Balliol on the last question in a tied game. During one summer vacation, he worked as a circus roustabout to save enough money to travel to Italy.[4] His contemporaries at Cambridge included Germaine Greer (known as "Romaine Rand" in the first three volumes of his memoirs), Simon Schama and Eric Idle. Having, he claims, scrupulously avoided reading any of the course material (but having read widely otherwise in English and foreign literature), James graduated with a 2:1—better than he had expected—and began a D.Phil. thesis on Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Critic and essayist[edit]
James became the television critic of The Observer in 1972,[2] remaining in the job until 1982. Selections from the column were published in three books—Visions Before Midnight, The Crystal Bucket and Glued to the Box—and finally in a compendium, On Television.
He has written literary criticism extensively for newspapers, magazines and periodicals in Britain, Australia and the United States, including, among many others, The Australian Book Review, The Monthly, The Atlantic Monthly, the New York Review of Books, The Liberal and the Times Literary Supplement. John Gross included James's essay 'A Blizzard of Tiny Kisses' in the Oxford Book of Essays (1992, 1999).
The Metropolitan Critic (1974), his first collection of literary criticism, was followed by At the Pillars of Hercules (1979), From the Land of Shadows (1982), Snakecharmers in Texas (1988), The Dreaming Swimmer (1992), Even As We Speak (2004), The Meaning of Recognition (2005) and Cultural Amnesia (2007), a collection of miniature intellectual biographies of over 100 significant figures in modern culture, history and politics. A defence of humanism, liberal democracy and literary clarity, the book was listed among the best of 2007 by The Village Voice.
Another volume of essays, The Revolt of the Pendulum, was published in June 2009.
He has also published Flying Visits, a collection of travel writing for The Observer.
Poet and lyricist[edit]
James has published poetry in periodicals all over the English-speaking world. He has published several books of poetry, including Poem of the Year (1983), a verse-diary, Other Passports: Poems 1958–1985, a first collection, and The Book of My Enemy (2003), a volume that takes its title from his poem "The Book of My Enemy Has Been Remaindered."[5]
He has published four mock-heroic poems: The Fate of Felicity Fark in the Land of the Media: a moral poem (1975), Peregrine Prykke's Pilgrimage Through the London Literary World (1976), Britannia Bright's Bewilderment in the Wilderness of Westminster (1976) and Charles Charming's Challenges on the Pathway to the Throne (1981).
During the seventies he also collaborated on six albums of songs with Pete Atkin:
- Beware of the Beautiful Stranger (1970),
- Driving Through Mythical America (1971),
- A King at Nightfall (1973),
- The Road of Silk (1974),
- Secret Drinker (1974), and
- Live Libel (1975).
A revival of interest in the songs in the late 1990s, triggered largely by the creation by Steve Birkill of an Internet mailing list "Midnight Voices" in 1997, led to the reissue of the six albums on CD between 1997 and 2001, as well as live performances by the pair. A double-album of previously-unrecorded songs written in the seventies and entitled The Lakeside Sessions: Volumes 1 and 2 was released in 2002 and "Winter Spring", an album of new material written by James and Atkin was released in 2003.[citation needed]
James acknowledged the importance of the "Midnight Voices" group in bringing to wider attention the lyric-writing aspect of his career. He wrote in November 1997 that, "one of the midnight voices of my own fate should be [that] the music of Pete Atkin continues to rank high among the blessings of my life, and on my behalf as well as his I bless you all for your attention".[citation needed]
In 2013, he issued his translation of Dante's Divine Comedy. The work, adopting quatrains to translate the original's terza rima, was well received by Australian critics.[6][7] Writing for the New York Times,[8] Joseph Luzzi thought it often fails to capture the more dramatic moments of the Inferno, but that it is more successful where Dante slows down, in the more theological and deliberative cantos of the Purgatorio and Paradiso.
Novelist and memoirist[edit]
In 1980 James published his first book of autobiography, Unreliable Memoirs, which recounted his early life in Australia and extended to over a hundred reprintings. It was followed by four other volumes of autobiography: Falling Towards England (1985), which covered his London years; May Week Was in June (1990), which dealt with his time at Cambridge; North Face of Soho (2006), and The Blaze of Obscurity (2009), concerning his subsequent career. An omnibus edition of the first three volumes was published under the generic title of Always Unreliable.
James has also written four novels: Brilliant Creatures (1983), The Remake (1987), Brrm! Brrm! (1991), published in the United States as The Man from Japan, and The Silver Castle (1996).
In 1999, John Gross included an excerpt from Unreliable Memoirs in The New Oxford Book of English Prose. John Carey chose Unreliable Memoirs as one of the fifty most enjoyable books of the twentieth century in his book Pure Pleasure (2000).
James developed his television career as a guest commentator on various shows, including as an occasional co-presenter with Tony Wilson on the first series of So It Goes, the Granada Television pop music show. On the show when the Sex Pistols made their TV debut, James commented: "During the recording, the task of keeping the little bastards under control was given to me. With the aid of a radio microphone, I was able to shout them down, but it was a near thing...they attacked everything around them and had difficulty in being polite even to each other".[9]
James subsequently hosted the ITV show Clive James on Television, in which he showcased unusual or (often unintentionally) amusing television programmes from around the world, notably the Japanese TV show Endurance. After his defection to the BBC in 1989, he hosted a similarly-formatted programme called Saturday Night Clive (1988–1990) which initially screened on Saturday evening, returning as Saturday Night Clive on Sunday in its second series when it changed screening day and then Sunday Night Clive in its third and final series. In 1995 he set up Watchmaker Productions to produce The Clive James Show for ITV, and a subsequent series launched the British career of singer and comedienne Margarita Pracatan. James hosted one of the early chat shows on Channel 4 and fronted the BBC's Review of the Year programmes in the late 1980s (Clive James on the '80s) and 1990s (Clive James on the '90s), which formed part of the channel's New Year's Eve celebrations.
In the mid-1980s, James featured in a travel programme called Clive James in... (beginning with Clive James in Las Vegas) for LWT (now ITV) and later switched to BBC, where he continued producing travel programmes, this time called Clive James' Postcard from... (beginning with Clive James' Postcard from Miami) - these also eventually transferred to ITV. He was also one of the original team of presenters of the BBC's The Late Show, hosting a round-table discussion on Friday nights.
His major documentary series Fame in the 20th Century (1993) was broadcast in the United Kingdom by the BBC, in Australia by the ABC and in the United States by the PBS network. This series dealt with the concept of "fame" in the 20th century, following over a course of eight episodes (each one chronologically and roughly devoted to one decade of the century, from the 1900s to the 1980s) discussions about world famous people of the 20th century. Through the use of film footage, James presented a history of "fame" which explored its growth to today's global proportions. In his closing monologue he remarked, "Achievement without fame can be a rewarding life, while fame without achievement is no life at all."
A well known fan of motor racing, James presented the 1982, 1984 and 1986 official Formula One season review videos produced by the Formula One Constructors Association, more commonly known as FOCA. James, who attended most F1 races during the 1980s and is a friend of FOCA boss Bernie Ecclestone, added his own humor to the reviews which became popular with fans of the sport. He also presented The Clive James Formula 1 Show for ITV to coincide with their Formula One coverage in 1997.
Summing up the medium, he has said: "Anyone afraid of what he thinks television does to the world is probably just afraid of the world".
In 2007, James started presenting the BBC Radio 4 series A Point of View, with transcripts appearing in the "Magazine" section of BBC News Online. In this programme James discussed various issues with a slightly humorous slant. Topics covered included media portrayal of torture,[10] young black role models[11] and corporate rebranding.[12] Three of James's broadcasts in 2007 were shortlisted for the 2008 Orwell Prize.[13]
In October 2009 James read a radio version of his book The Blaze of Obscurity, on BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week programme.[14]
In December 2009 James talked about the P-51 Mustang and other American fighter aircraft of World War II in The Museum of Curiosity on BBC Radio 4.[15]
In late 2009, James returned to presenting A Point of View for BBC Radio 4 with a series of thirteen talks.
In May 2011 the BBC published a new podcast, A Point of View: Clive James, which features all sixty A Point of View programmes presented by James between 2007 and 2009.
He has posted vlog conversations from his internet show Talking in the Library, including conversations with Ian McEwan, Cate Blanchett, Julian Barnes, Jonathan Miller and Terry Gilliam. In addition to the poetry and prose of James himself, the site features the works of other literary figures such as Les Murray and Michael Frayn, as well as the works of painters, sculptors and photographers such as John Olsen and Jeffrey Smart.
In 2008 James performed in two self-titled shows at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival: Clive James in Conversation and Clive James in the Evening. He took the latter show on a limited tour of the UK in 2009.
Honours and awards[edit]
In 1992, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM). This was upgraded to Officer level (AO) in the 2013 Australia Day Honours.
James was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2012 New Year Honours for services to literature and the media.[16]
In 2003 he was awarded the Philip Hodgins Memorial Medal for Literature. He has received honorary doctorates from the Universities of Sydney and the East Anglia. In April 2008, James was awarded a Special Award for Writing and Broadcasting by the judges of the Orwell Prize.[17]
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2010.[18]
Personal life[edit]
James is estranged from Prue Shaw, his wife of 45 years,[19] an emeritus reader in Italian studies at University College London and the author of Reading Dante: From Here to Eternity. James and Shaw have two daughters. For most of his working life, James has divided his time between a converted warehouse flat in London and the family home in Cambridge. He maintains a general policy of not talking about his family publicly, although makes occasional self-deprecating comments about some of his experiences of living with three women in his various memoirs. In April 2012, the Australian Channel Nine programme A Current Affair ran an item in which the former model Leanne Edelsten admitted to an eight-year affair with James.[20] Shaw threw her husband out of the family home as a result of the revelation.[19]
After the death of his friend Diana, Princess of Wales, James wrote a piece for The New Yorker entitled "I Wish I'd Never Met Her", recording his overwhelming grief.[21] Since then he has mainly declined to comment about their friendship, apart from some remarks in his fifth volume of memoirs Blaze of Obscurity.
James' political views have been prominent in much of his later writing. While a detractor of communism and socialism for their tendency towards totalitarianism, he still identifies himself with the left. In a 2006 interview in The Sunday Times,[22] James said of himself: "I was brought up on the proletarian left, and I remain there. The fair go for the workers is fundamental, and I don't believe the free market has a mind." In a speech given in 1991, he criticised privatisation: "The idea that Britain's broadcasting system—for all its drawbacks one of the country's greatest institutions—was bound to be improved by being subjected to the conditions of a free market: there was no difficulty in recognising that notion as politically illiterate. But for some reason people did have difficulty in realising that it was economically illiterate too."[23]
Overall, James identifies as a liberal social democrat.[24] He strongly supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, saying in 2007 that "the war only lasted a few days" and that the continuing conflict in Iraq was "the Iraq peace".[25] He has also written that it was "official policy to rape a woman in front of her family" during Saddam Hussein's regime and that women have enjoyed more rights since the invasion.[26] He is also currently a Patron of the Burma Campaign UK an organisation that campaigns for human rights and democracy in Burma.[27]
James has been noted for expressing views sympathetic to climate change scepticism.[28][29]
Describing religions as "advertising agencies for a product that doesn't exist", James is an atheist and sees this as the default and obvious position.[30][31]
James is able to read, with varying fluency, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Japanese.[32] A tango enthusiast, he has travelled to Buenos Aires for dance lessons and has a dance floor in his house which allows him to practise.[30]
For much of his life, James was a heavy drinker and smoker, who recorded in North Face of Soho his habit of filling a hubcap ashtray daily. At various times he has written of attempts - intermittently successful - to give up drinking and smoking.[33] He admitted smoking 80 cigarettes a day for a number of years.[34] In April 2011, after media speculation that he had suffered kidney failure,[35] James confirmed that he was suffering from B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia and had been in treatment for 15 months at Addenbrooke's Hospital.[36] In an interview with BBC Radio 4 in June 2012, James admitted that the disease "had beaten him" and that he was "near the end".[37] He said that he was also diagnosed with emphysema and kidney failure in early 2010.[38]
On 3 September 2013, a television interview, Clive James: The Kid from Kogarah, was broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) with James interviewed by journalist Kerry O'Brien. The interview was filmed at Cambridge University.

New Version Includes One-Click Interface for Layout Changes, Plus a Sleek New Look
Wilmington, Delaware (PRWEB) February 14, 2014
When an online meeting is in progress, the pressure is on. Attendees grow impatient when presenters have to tinker with layout controls. ClickMeeting solves this problem with an intuitive new tool that reduces complex changes to a click of the mouse. The platform also introduces a clean new flat look thats more in keeping with current design standards on the Web.
Our user community loves using our flexible modular pods to control the attendee experience, said ClickMeeting Founder and CEO Simon Grabowski. But theyre reluctant to make changes during a meeting for fear of distracting the audience. Our latest update includes an elegant solution that actually increases engagement.
The 4-pod layout includes: camera and voice feed; list of attendees and presenters; presentation area; and chat box. Any pod can be moved, re-sized, enlarged to fill the entire window, or temporarily removed. The new Settings link gives organizers one-click control, even while the meeting is in progress.
Organizers can instantly arrange pods in a configuration that supports meeting goals. For example: during the main presentation, the chat box and attendee list could be removed to eliminate distractions. With the new Settings box, the organizer simply clicks a labeled icon to switch to another standard layout.
Optionally, the organizer can set up the pods and save it as a custom layout. During any meeting, the custom layout will be available, alongside standard layouts. To create a production-quality look and feel, the organizer can set up multiple layouts in advance, each designed for a particular segment.
In addition, the Settings link lets the organizer customize the meeting room with a registration form, phone gateway, video autostart, moderated chat, and new-attendee alerts all available with a click.
And if meeting attendance is larger than expected, the organizer can expand to accommodate up to 1,000 participants and reserve more file space for recording meetings all while the meeting is in progress.
Lastly, an Info screen lets organizers send automatic emails containing login instructions, contact details, and dial-in access data, including phone number, PIN code and meeting ID. The organizer can send invitations and information directly from the meeting room, choosing recipients from their contacts database or from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google Plus.
Thanks to the new Settings screen, the audience wont get sidetracked when presenters handle routine tasks during meetings, said Simon Grabowski. Thats a real confidence-booster for presenters.
The ClickMeeting videoconferencing platform includes all the most popular capabilities of expensive webinar platforms and more at a low monthly cost thats affordable for small businesses, professional firms, and solo entrepreneurs.
Service packages start as low as $22.50 per month for annual payment plans and can be upgraded to a larger service package without software changes or data migration. All service plans include unlimited meetings and the complete portfolio of features. Follow link to company website for: ClickMeeting 30-Day Free Trial, No Credit Card Required.
In 2013 ClickMeeting was awarded the Stevie Award in the category Best New Software Version in an international competition for software development. The same year, the platform won a Tabby Award in the Communications category. The Tabby Award honors innovations in tablet apps developed for business and enterprises.
ClickMeeting was developed by parent company Implix, a leading provider of practical, cost-effective software solutions for small business. With more than 500,000 users, ClickMeeting uses Cloud technology to facilitate face-to-face online collaboration with participants worldwide.

Seems like it's time to compare where we may be trending vs. where we've just come from.
2011 team was headed for a 10-2 season until a rash of injuries hit us at RB. This further exposed our weakness at QB and lead to the 7-5 finish, pre-bowl.
That's our reference point.
OFFENSE: Pos - '12 vs. '11 Comparison - VERDICT - Comment
QB - '12 Ash vs. '11 Gilbert/Ash/McCoy - SOME IMPROVEMENT - Natural maturation + Ash w/ full off-season of #1 QB reps. Still very young.
RB - '12 JB/MB/DJ/JG vs. JB/MB/DJ/FW - GOOD IMPROVEMENT - JB and MB are stronger. DJ... no change. JG > FW. "GOOD" due to improved health.
C - '12 Walter/Espinosa vs. '11 Espinosa - SOME IMPROVEMENT - Espinosa slightly better, simply by experience, but still weak head up. Walters is in if DE doesn't improve. Porter still not ready.
G - '12 Walter/Hopkins/Flowers vs. '11 Walters/Snow - GOOD IMPROVEMENT Walters continues to stregthen. Flowers > Snow last year until concussion. Hopkins is at his best position. Riser could help.
T - '12 Hawkins/Cochran/Kelley vs. '11 Hopkins/Cochran/Kelley - SOME IMPROVEMENT Potential for good improvement is there, but not until Hawkins stabilizes. Fingers are crossed. Hughes could add depth.
TE - '12 Grant/Tarrell/Mathews/McFarland vs. '11 Irby/Grant/Mathews/Poehlman - SOME IMPROVEMENT We had trouble catching and blocking. In '12, we'll at least catch well.
WR - '12 JS/MD/MG/JH/DH/CJ vs. '11 JS/MD/MG/JH/DH/DW - SOME IMPROVEMENT - Davis had slump, Shiplye/Harris injured, Hales no-showed, White was terrible. Davis/Shipley are back strong, Harris will be back, Hales is promising (again), C. Jones could help right away.
FB - '12 Roberson vs. '11 Johnson - DECLINE - CJ was NFL terrific. Roberson may be adequate. We will likely put Mathews into FB role for blocking.
OVERALL OFFENSE: DECLINE - 1 position (FB) SOME IMPROVEMENT - 2 positions (QB, C, TE, WR, T) GOOD IMPROVEMENT - 3 positions (G, RB)
Overall, Offense has some or good improvement at 11 of 12 positions. Other than FB, progress is showing everywhere. Across-the-board improvement like that will have additional synergistic effects resulting in GOOD IMPROVEMENT overall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFENSE: Pos - '12 vs. '11 Comparison - VERDICT - Comment
DT - '12 AD/DJ/CW/BM/MB vs '11 KR/AD/CH/CW/DJ - SOME IMPROVEMENT - we were good in '11, and we'll be very good in '12. If BM can get in shape well enough to last a whole series, we could be great.
DE - '12 AO/JJ/RW/CR vs '11 AO/JJ/RW/CR - SOME IMPROVEMENT - we were good in '11, we'll be very good in '12 through maturation of all players. A Ridgeway and T. Davis can give more depth.
MLB - '12 Edmond vs. '11 Robinson - GOOD IMPROVEMENT - Robinson struggled to get off blocks much of '11. No interceptions. Edmond is a beast, and can also drop back well. He'll dominate.
OLB - '12 Hicks/Cobbs vs. '11 Acho/Hicks - STATUS QUO - Losing Acho is big. Hicks looking great. Cobbs return is questionable. Depth not good. Hicks improvement is a wash with other concerns.
S - '12 Vacarro/Phillips vs. '11 Gideon/Vacarro - GOOD IMPROVEMENT - I know BG was smart, but athletic limitations really showed. Phillips is smart enough and much more athletic. Vacarro will dominate.
CB - '12 Byndom/Diggs vs. '11 Byndom/Diggs - SOME IMPROVEMENT - They're already terrrific. Natural progression and experience makes them even better. Young Orlando Thomas, plus JT and LS give depth.
OVERALL DEFENSE: DECLINE - 0 STATUS QUO - 2 positions (OLB) SOME IMPROVEMENT - 6 positions (DT, DE, CB) GOOD IMPROVEMENT - 3 positions (MLB, S)
Overall, Defense has 9 of 11 positions showing "some" to "good" improvement on a defense that was already exceptional. We could be scary good in '12. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, if '11 was an 8-5 season with 2 losses solely due to injury rash at RB, I see us IMPROVING by 4 games.
Big wildcard still unanswered is Kicking game. Very probable DECLINE there, costing us at least one game.
Your thoughts?

I just don't get all the excitement at Tackle right now. I know there was a lot when they first started in shorts, etc..., but by the last day of pads Searles was sending messages to Hawkins by having him split 1st team reps with Paden Kelley.
Am I the only one who saw this???
Searles is not yet confident in Hawkins, so I'm trying to figure out why so many of you are...

a few things you left out 1. the kicker (we all know that's a decline right now) 2. RB Jeremy Hills who stepped in and did farely well for his situation
I feel Joe B. is going to see the FB position on certain plays and even though CJ did great at FB I don't think they will need too much out at the position that JB won't give them. Also I think you were wrong at the OT grading, it should have been good instead of some improvement. All though Hawkins is the only difference from last year they feel he's good enough to play LT instead of RT and that moves Cochran to right and that moves Hopkins to his natural position Guard and that is why I feel the line is in better condition than last year.

We were pathetically weak at tackle last year. Actually, guard was the only part of the line that was average or above. Just having Cochran back after a full year in the weight room makes us better. Kelley would be better than either Allen or Hopkins were at the first of last year. Hawkins is a tremendous prospect phsyically and has all the drive that is needed. He's simply make the jump from Juco to D1 ball. Ultimately, he may end up at right tackle and Cochran back at left; but the position has had a tremendous upgrade. The simple fact that Hopkins has moved back inside says all that needs to be said. Go back and watch the Cal. game if you need a memory boost. In all honesty, Greenlae would probably be an upgrade over what we started in game one last year.

Kheeston is most certainly replaceable with an upgrade at the overall position a definite possibility. Basically, you're trading Kheeston and Howell with Moore and Whaley (was Whaley a DT at the halfway point of spring ball last year? if so, don't think much was expected). Tank and Dorsey are both a year older. And M. Brown may be the best of the bunch. I'd say an upgrade at the position is likely.
I agree with you on LB. While my expectations for Edmond and Cobbs are very high, they are replacing very productive multi year starters. Until I see the production consistently in real games, I'll hold off on calling it an upgrade.
There is nothing more dangerous in this world than a man with nothing to lose.
bruthaman said...
If you guys have a guy that will improve the DT position after Rhandall leaving, nobody will run up the middle. I agree with the other poster, that guy was a player. I was amazed at how ineffective the LBs were behind him because he wasnt able to be blocked by one person most of the game. But we will see.

Commissioner Hal Lenobel "strongly opposes" an amendment proposed by the Longboat Key Club and Resort to change a 31-year golf agreement with the town and the way that agreement offers tee times.
The commission reviewed a proposed ordinance Friday, Feb. 12 by the Longboat Key Club and Resort that would amend an agreement between the town and the club to allow guests of the proposed hotel to play golf on the renovated Islandside course.
At the special workshop held in the middle of the Islandside renovation-and-expansion hearing at Temple Beth Israel, Lenobel said he is worried that an amendment proposed by club attorney Jim Syprett does not sufficiently address the rights of playing time for club members and about how the addition of guests from a new hotel at Islandside would affect playing time.
Currently, the agreement allows for tee times and golf course play only by members of the club and guests of the Inn on the Beach.
Syprett presented an amendment Friday that would allow guests of the proposed five-star hotel to use the course as well.
Club members will continue to make tee times on the course at least three days in advance. However, the change proposed by the club involves Inn on the Beach guests asking for tee times two-and-a-half days in advance, and guests at the proposed hotel could make tee times two days in advance.
The club showed statistics that it believes prove that the addition of guests of the new hotel using the course will not create too much play on the Islandside golf course.
But a frustrated Lenobel spoke out against the new amendment. He told Key Club General Manager Michael Welly he thought he had come to an agreement with Welly a day earlier.
"We said guests of the new hotel could make tee times one day in advance," Lenobel said.
Welly, however, said although he agreed with Lenobel on some things the commissioner suggested during their conversation, he did not agree to give guests of the hotel just one day to make a golf reservation.
"We are proposing Inn on the Beach guests to ask for tee times two-and-a-half days in advance and guests at the proposed hotel to make tee times two days in advance," Welly said.
The comment irked Lenobel.
"I am strongly opposed to the amendment proposed and won't support it," Lenobel said.
Islandside Property Owners Coalition attorney Michael Furen said the commission couldn't amend the golf agreement or an open space agreement. Both need to be changed in order to approve the club's Islandside project.
Town Attorney David Persson, however, said the commission has the power to make the changes.
The commission will review a revised golf and open space agreement prepared by David Persson at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 18 during its regular workshop (which starts at 2 p.m.) at Town Hall, 501 Bay Isles Road.
If the commission agrees to bring the amendments forward for approval, the commission can approve the amendments at its next Islandside hearing, scheduled for 8 a.m. Friday, Feb. 19, at Temple Beth Israel, 567 Bay Isles Road.
At that hearing, Planning, Zoning and Building Director Monica Simpson will give her assessment on a revised Islandside project that now calls for the hotel going up one additional floor to 11 stories over one level of parking and the removal of one of the villa unit buildings.

- The time has come to get rid of Lenobel as Commissioner. He has outlived his usefulness and effectiveness as Commissioner. Anyone who says that one grocery store, one pharmacy and a few restaurants is all that Longboat Key needs is on his way out. Longboat Key needs a lot more than that to prosper. Perhaps Phill Younger will show him the way out.

Intense focus on the administration of elections has led to an increase in the number of poll watchers on hand during voting.
Members of the media, interest groups, political parties and even foreign delegations have ramped up their polling place observation efforts since 2000.
With new machines and procedures, the conduct of elections has become nearly as important as the outcome. First-person observation, media reports and field research can yield new insights into the election process, show where weaknesses might occur in the system and point to possible solutions to make voting more efficient, accurate and convenient.
Pew is no longer active in this line of work, but for more information, please visit electionline.org.

Armajaro founders Anthony Ward and Richard Gower have built a remarkable business in commodities trading and structured securities in just 12 years - and are now fast developing their alternative asset management arm too
Armajaro has come a very long way from small beginnings. Founded in 1998 by former Phibro soft commodities trader Anthony Ward and ex-Eurobond broker Richard Gower, the firm started life in a basement office on London's Grosvenor Street with nine employees and just £2 million of the founders' own capital.
Anthony Ward and Richard Gower
Twelve years on, the commodities and financial services group and its subsidiaries have more than 3,000 employees worldwide - with offices in 15 countries across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and north and south America.
Its activities span commodities trading (both in physicals, where it is one of the world's leading cocoa traders and a principal player in the coffee market too, as well as in futures), securities (principally in arranging and dealing in structured notes, which was the firm's other original business back in 1998), structured OTC derivatives business (with the recent...

This should settle the Milan mess.
Plus, Russian Vogue took Crystal Renn and Alana Zimmer to the circus.
But they've agreed to several of Milan's other demands, so a resolution may be close.
So instead of its usual eight, they'd like to see it run only for seven in 2013 and 2014.
New York might just cave, kind of.
Does this mean rosaries are in?
Plus Coco Rocha, Mary Alice Stephenson, Robert Verdi, Brad Goreski, and more.
And that may affect its standing in the debate over next year's show schedule.
He attached evidence that he is in the right when scheduling the Milan shows to overlap with New York and London.
Milan won't consider a compromise, and that's that.
Milan organizer Mario Boselli has "nothing more to add or to change" with regards to the matter.
She characterizes the conflict as a "misunderstanding."
"Let the best one win," Milan Fashion Week boss Mario Boselli says.
The Italians continue their efforts to switch around the schedule.

25 Vim Tutorials, Screencasts, and Resources
As I continue my self-imposed thirty days of Vim, I've come across a plethora of excellent tutorials, resources…even screencasts. If you're like me, and are just beginning to dig into this fantastic open source editor, hopefully the following will help to push you along.
1. Derek Wyatt's Blog
Derek Wyatt quite possibly has the best selection of Vim related screencasts on the web. Even better, he covers the spectrum, by offering screencasts for beginners, all the way to advanced topics. I've watched all of them myself, and continue to come back! These are highly recommended.
2. Smashing into Vim
When I initially asked on Twitter where I could better learn about Vim, once of the most recommended resources was PeepCode's Smashing into Vim two-part series. Though not free ($9), I still learned quite a bit, and recommend it!
3. Vimcasts.org
Though this site is currently on hiatus, Vimcasts.org provides a new and helpful screencast each week. Focusing on the fundamentals of working with Vim, these videos come highly recommended!
4. Top Vim Plugins
When first getting started with Vim, even installing plugins is a difficult process — let alone which ones to get! This helpful YouTube video: Top Vim Plugins does the trick in roughly eight minutes.
5. An Introduction to Vim Macros
Another fantastic video series, Justin Lilly created seven or so video tutorials on working with Vim. Definitely watch the ones that interest you!
6. Venturing into Vim: Premium Video Series
Don't forget about us! Sometimes it's easier to learn a new platform, framework, or language from the student sitting next to you, rather than the teacher, ironically. As I continue my thirty days of Vim, I'm logging my progress each week. That way, you can work along. We're only on week two (as of today), so now is a great time to become a Premium member if you'd like to participate.
1. Vim Introduction and Tutorial
This one is a helpful (and scrollable friendly) tutorial that should quickly get you up and running with the fundamentals.
2. Vim Cookbook
"This is the Vim cookbook page. It contains short recipes for doing many simple and not so simple things in Vim. You should already know the basics of Vim, however each command is explained in detail. "
3. Vim: An Amuse-Bouche
Perhaps less tutorial, and more thoughts, I took some time a couple days ago to discuss my first experiences with Vim, and why I'm quickly becoming an advocate.
4. Efficient Editing with Vim
"This tutorial assumes a basic knowledge of vim — insert mode, command mode, loading and saving files, etc. It is intended to help vi novices develop their skills so that they can use vi efficiently."
5. 10 Terminal Commands that will Boost your Productivity
Though not specifically Vim related, a solid understanding of the Terminal is required. This round-up of tips should help you to get started!
6. Everyone Who Tried to Convince Me to use Vim was Wrong
Yehuda Katz, who is a core team member of Ruby on Rails, discusses his troubles with switching from TextMate over to Vim. He notes that what worked for him was adopting the platform incrementally with MacVim. This allows for the use of the common commands that we're all used to. It's a good read if you're still on the fence.
7. vimtutor
Let's not forget perhaps the best resource available on Vim, which is 100% free. Simply switch to normal mode, and type: :! vimtutor
. Vim provides a thirty minute hands-on training course that you should really try to work through, if you're just getting started.
1. 100 Color Themes
When searching for additional color schemes for Vim, I came across a massive bundle of 100 unique skins, which can be downloaded all at once. I'm currently using the dusk
2. ZenCoding
If you're not familiar with Zen Coding yet, learn it…and use it! In fact, I have a tutorial on it. One of my initial gripes with Vim was that it seemed as if I would have to give Zen Coding up — which I've grown to rely on. Luckily, this isn't so, thanks to the excellent zencoding.vim plugin.
3. SnipMate
Again, one of the fantastic features of TextMate is its bundle feature. This allows you to, for instance, type
The surround plugins kicks major butt. As you might have guessed, it allows you to wrap portions of text with parens, tags, braces, etc. As an example, with the plugin installed, if I wanted to select a line of text and automatically wrap it within If you later decide to change the wrapping tag from a Plugins can be as intricate or as simple as necessary. TComment's primary purpose is to allow you to easily and quickly comment certain lines of your code. It will automatically determine the file type, and create the comment syntax to match. If I'm working within a JavaScript file and want to comment out a particular line, I can quickly do so by typing in normal mode:
File browsing in Vim can be a bit more difficult than necessary. However, there are a full crop of plugins that hugely simplify the process. My favorite (so far) is called NERDTree. "The NERD tree allows you to explore your filesystem and to open files and directories. It presents the filesystem to you in the form of a tree which you manipulate with the keyboard and/or mouse. It also allows you to perform simple filesystem operations." For the visual learners out there, this cheat sheet, though a bit old, still is perfectly relevant. Print it out, and put it on your wall! What better way to learn Vim than to read the manual for free! Here's a direct link to the pdf. MacVim is the perfect medium between working hardcore within Terminal, and using an editor that you're more familiar with. This way, you still have access to the common commands, like Tim Pope is a widely respected member of the community, and has developed at least a dozen excellent plugins, particularly for Git and Rails users. If you're still undecided about making the switch to Vim, sometimes it's helpful to hear the thoughts of your peers. This StackOverflow forum thread is definitely worth a read in those cases.
Really, the first thing you need to do, when setting up Vim, is to configure your From personal experience, Vim is ridiculously daunting, until, one day, it's not. It all comes down to memorizing a few dozen keyboard commands. Once you've done so, you're in for a real treat! Read more: No related posts.

I just bought a Betty Crocker slow cooker. I must admit it was an impulse buy, and I have not done any research as to which slow cooker is best.
So as part of my research, lol, does anyone own a Betty Crocker, and did I make an ok choice?
It is red, oval, no timer, but has different heat settings.
Do I take it back...or take it out the box, lol?
Best of luck. It is one of those small appliances that people seem to love or hate. I thought I would love it, and saw it as a real solution to my late arrivals home to hungry kids....but they found everything tasted like mush.
But... I have friends who love arriving home to the smell of dinner in their crock pot. :rolleyes:

Jay's answer: That does sound like a simple question, but giving an appropriate answer would involve my asking YOU several questions such as your weight, your gender and your activity level. Since you are not here to ask, let's "ballpark it." The average female should take in 1,200-1,600 calories to lose weight — 1,700-2,100 for males — but that doesn't mean that these numbers will necessarily work for you.
The ability to lose weight depends on your resting metabolic rate and your activity level. These factor into the expenditure side of the energy balance equation, which then helps to determine the intake side as well. If you want the best and most accurate calorie estimate, you need to take a personal inventory. Talk to a trainer about getting your resting metabolic rate tested, or estimated, and then have him/her determine how many calories you expend each day. A good guideline is to take in 500 fewer calories per day than you expend (or expend 500 calories more than you take in).
By the end of the week you will have created a 3,500 calorie deficit — enough to lose a pound of fat. By the end of 2011, you'll lose nearly 50 pounds if you start now and stay consistent. How would that feel? You can do it!
Question: I'm smack-dab in the middle of menopause and, as expected, I seem to be gaining weight. However, the weight seems to be finding its way to my midsection, which is odd for me. Any logical explanation?
Heidi's answer: Yes, there is a logical explanation. As you're probably aware, most women seem prone to gain weight in their hip and butt areas prior to menopause. Estrogen is the reason. However, as you reach your menopausal years and your estrogen levels drop, you end up storing that extra weight where men tend to gain their weight — in the midsection.
I'm sure you're not thrilled to hear this, but it's a fact of life. Naturally, most women want to know what they can do about it. While you can't control where your body stores fat, you do have some say in how much fat it can store.
Nutrition and exercise become all the more important during this phase of your life. Turn up the quality and quantity of your exercise program and get really serious about the quality and quantity of food you eat and you'll have a good chance of avoiding further weight gain in areas you'd rather not.
Question: My wife thinks she'll get big and bulky if she starts lifting weights with me. How do I convince her otherwise?
Jay's Answer: This comes up all the time and it's one of the biggest myths out there. However, rather than explain to her that there is no science to support her fears and that it is next to impossible for women to get bulky muscles, just ask her to give it a try for a couple months. I always figure it's wise to weigh the upside benefit against the downside risk.
Here's the upside. She will increase her resting metabolism — she's all for that, right? Second, she will improve her functional strength and ability to do the things she enjoys (biking, hiking, gardening, sports, playing with the kids). Finally, she might find she likes the toning effect of weightlifting on her muscles and her appearance.
Now for the downside. Let's say she defies the odds and ends up with visibly bulky muscles. She gets to watch you eat crow. All she has to do is stop lifting weights and within three weeks all the muscle she gained will return to normal. It's that simple. No harm done!
Also, a bit of advice for you. Hire a trainer for a few sessions to teach her how to work out.
I know, I know, you have been working out for years and you know your way around the gym, but you see, it's very likely that the real reason she doesn't want to lift weights with you is YOU. She has seen you work out. She has heard the weights slam. She has heard you grunt and groan. It's the last thing she wants to do. Besides, you don't want to put yourself in harm's way. You'd rather have her be mad at the trainer than at you. I see too many injuries in the gym when husband tries to teach wife how to work out.
It's usually not a good mix. Hiring a trainer will cost you a few bucks but could well save you some anguish in your marriage and make working out with weights less intimidating to your wife.
