Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

By Emily Underwood
— Every night since humans first evolved, we have made what might be considered a baffling, dangerous mistake. Despite the once-prevalent threat of being eaten by predators, and the loss of valuable time for gathering food, accumulating wealth, or having sex, we go to sleep. Scientists have long speculated and argued about why we devote roughly a third of our lives to sleep, but with little concrete data to support any particular theory. Now, new evidence has refreshed a long-held hypothesis: During sleep, the brain cleans itself.
Most physiologists agree that sleep has come to serve many different purposes, ranging from memory consolidation to the regulation of metabolism and the immune system. While the "core" purposes of biological functions such as breathing and eating are easy to understand, however, scientists have never agreed on any such original purpose for sleeping. The new study, by Maiken Nedergaard and colleagues at the University of Rochester in New York, provides what Charles Czeisler, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical
The new work, published online Thursday in Science, "fits with a long-standing view that sleep is for recovery — that something is paid back or cleaned out," says David Dinges, a sleep researcher at the University of Pennsylvania. It builds on Nedergaard's recent discovery, described last summer in Science Translational Medicine, of a network of microscopic, fluid-filled channels that clears toxins from the brain, much as the lymphatic system clears out metabolic waste products from the rest of the body. Instead of carrying lymph, this system transports waste-laden cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Before the discovery of this "glymphatic system," as Nedergaard has dubbed it, the brain's only known method for disposing of cellular trash was to break down and recycle it within individual cells, she says.
In the original work, Nedergaard's group showed that glia, the brain's non-neuronal cells, control the flow of CSF through channels in their cell membranes. "If we delete the channels in glial cells, the flow almost stops," Nedergaard says. Because the transport of fluid across cell membranes requires a lot of energy, Nedergaard and her team had a hunch that the brain would not be able to both clean and process sensory information at the same time and decided to test whether the activity of the glymphatic system changed during sleep. Lulu Xie, the new study's first author, spent the next 2 years
Once Xie was sure the mice were asleep, based on their EEG brain activity, she injected a green dye into their CSF through a catheterlike device in their necks. After half an hour, she awakened them by touching their tails and injected a red dye that the two-photon microscope could easily distinguish from the green. By
A comparison of the volume of space between nerve cells while the mice were awake and asleep revealed that the glial channels carrying CSF expanded by 60 percent when the mice were asleep. The team also injected labeled β amyloid proteins into the brains of sleeping mice and awake mice and found that during sleep, CSF cleared away this "dirt" outside of the cells twice as quickly — "like a dishwasher," Nedergaard says. Such proteins can aggregate as pathogenic plaques inside cells and are associated with Alzheimer's disease, she says.
Many neurological diseases — from Alzheimer's disease to stroke and dementia — are associated with sleep disturbances, Nedergaard notes. The study suggests that lack of sleep could have a causal role, by allowing the byproducts to build up and cause brain damage. "This could open a lot of debate for shift workers, who work during the nighttime," Nedergaard predicts. "You probably develop damage if you don't get your sleep."
One unknown, however, is whether the need to remove waste products actively regulates sleep — whether, for example, the buildup of metabolic byproducts makes us sleepy. Researchers also wonder how the fluid-filled channels change shape during sleep, and whether clearing waste actually improves the function of neurons.
Nor are other researchers certain that cleansing is sleep's sole core function. No one function of sleep necessarily rules them all, says sleep scientist Derk-Jan Dijk of the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom. "Sleep probably has many functions," he says, just as the weekend is variously for shopping, socializing, and cleaning the house.
But now that Nedergaard and her colleagues have identified this nightly brainwashing in mice, Czeisler says, scientists can investigate whether it occurs in all species, and to what extent. "One could imagine that different species have evolved different additional functions of sleep to suit their different habitats, … but this will help resolve if there is some shared function of sleep across species," he concludes.

WASHINGTON — Just one in four Americans are following closely the debate over the $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts set to kick in on Friday, according to a new Washington Post-Pew poll, numbers that serve as a reminder that although talk of the sequester is dominating the nation's capital, it has yet to permeate the public at large.
Not only are most people paying very little attention to the sequester, they also have only the faintest sense of what it would do. Less than one in five (18 percent) in the Post-Pew poll say they understand "very well" what would happen if the sequester went into effect.
Those remarkably low numbers come despite the fact that the debate over the sequester has dominated Washington for much of the last month and, in the past week or so, President Barack Obama has cranked up the direness of his warnings about what it could do to the economy.
The lack of interest and knowledge about the sequester stands in contrast to the level of engagement the public showed in the last crisis — the fiscal cliff. In Pew polling done in the run-up to the cliff, 40 percent of people said they were following the negotiations "very" closely, while roughly three in 10 said they had a very strong understanding of what it would mean for themselves and the country if we went off the cliff.
What explains the difference between sequester and the cliff? At first glance, it appears to be the fact that, without tax increases included in the sequester, most people don't think it will really affect them. Just 30 percent of those tested say sequestration would have a "major effect" on their own financial situation — a contrast to 43 percent who said the same about the fiscal cliff. The lack of a tax increase component in sequestration (Democrats do want some increases in revenue, but mostly through closing loopholes) is seen most clearly among Republicans — with just one in five following news about the automatic cuts "very closely." Twice as many Republicans followed the fiscal cliff battle in December very closely.

GREENVILLE, Texas — A mother has been sentenced to prison after she left her infant son alone in a hot car and didn't to tell doctors about it, which prosecutors said may have led to the child's death.
Sheryl Ann Jackson of Greenville pleaded guilty in July to one count of manslaughter in connection with the death of 6-month-old Tytus Hoskins last December.
A jury sentenced Jackson on Friday to 11 years in prison. Prosecutors alleged that for two days, Jackson didn't tell doctors about leaving her child in the car, and that may have contributed to his death.
Jackson had initially been charged with murder, but agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.
According to police, outdoor temperatures reached 81 degrees on Dec. 1, 2012, when Jackson left her baby in the car alone for two hours. When Jackson retrieved the boy from the car, she sought medical help. She told doctors that the child felt hot, but didn't tell them the baby had been left inside a car until two days later, police said.
The boy was taken by helicopter to a Dallas hospital where he died.
Details for this story were reported by The Herald-Banner in Greenville, Texas.

For centuries, mankind sought the secret for changing base metals into gold. This practice was known as alchemy and it was a driving force in scientific research dating back to ancient Egypt. Even Sir Isaac Newton unsuccessfully pursued the secret of what is refered to as 'The Philosopher's Stone'. It was not until 1980 that Nobel prize-winning chemist Glenn Seaborg, using nuclear physics, cracked the code. Seaborg, himself is responsible for the discovery of the actinoid series of elements on the Periodic Table. He synthesized a minute quantity of BISMUTH into GOLD by removing neutrons and protons from this less valued element. On the 30th anniversary of Seaborg's astounding achievement of transmutation, we present to you a beautiful sample of synthetic BISMUTH, what some might now consider to be 'The Philosopher's Stone'. Each set is unique.The bismuth included in this collector's series may constitute a collection of smaller pieces that display beautifully. Due to the extremely fragile nature of bismuth, some separation may occur. Approximately 2" worth of bismuth is included. Most sets will ship as 2 or 3 distinct specimens. Please handle the crystal minimally and with care.For the first time in its 60 year history, Edmund Scientific is offering a limited edition collectible. These conversation pieces have been specially selected to inspire intellectual curiosity in both the young and the wise. Designed to help you better tell a scientific story, these keepsakes are intended to serve as a spring board to learning for generations to come.

We have dropped in 2013,= in total matches as much as 21%, there had been only 1544 of them, S and D combined. We're still growing in some other ways, too, 2% growth in total players of the past year (258 ppl). I reckon, fewer matches because of worsening turf for amateur (possibly, the same as with the professional) tennis in Moscow, Russia. The court prices have grown again; how do I know it? Vere well, indeed. Having all data sent there by players for each individual match, then using TMM program
Updated 02-05-2014 at 04:50 AM by kleo
Well, this new package comes from Sourceforge as before https://sourceforge.net/projects/tclub/; major improvements, adding a combination of new match-like sports and a new user interface, which looks generally more narrow to fit into a mobile device; BTW 20% of using TMM comes from the mobile now (from about 2-3% a couple years ago). I've also ajaxed the pages, making those smooth transitions between pages, (hope you know). -- We're currently 9% down in number of played matches compared to July
Keep it simple, remove much of the unused .. and add other sports! That is a new spirit of the program, and a new look.
It's almost 7 years since I rewrote an application for money disbursement planning (my own code) into a tennis match stats engine. So far, so good: Moscow, Russia, and we are quite popular here, but now overwhelmingly. We've just finished another good tournament (Motivation Open 2013), and to-date stats shows 267 people have played 1792 matches, S/D combined, in 365 last days, all play together spending a total of 2,872,000 RUR on greedy court owners. Yes, court prices per hour here are amazingly
http://tennismatchmachine.com/db_ima...62d3_large.jpg - I had taken this data from our matches database, trying to figure out how much time, money and how many people it takes to play each new one thousand matches of the club; I knew it took us almost three years to count the first thousand, but the more people combined, the more matches played; but I did not expect what this kind of analysis led to : in the last 18 months we seem to have stopped growing : the 4-th thousand (190 days, 190 people);

JOHNSTOWN, Pa. — A 12-year-old boy is in trouble with the law after police said he robbed a lemonade stand with a BB gun.
Johnstown police Sgt. Patrick Goggin said officers Monday evening after the 12-year-old approached a 10-year-old boy who was operating a lemonade stand.
"He had what appeared to be a handgun in his pocket," Goggin said. That weapon later turned out to be a BB gun.
The 12-year-old boy then threatened to shoot the other boy if he didn't hand over the money, Goggin said.
"They got into a wrestling match over the money box," he said.
The alleged robber made off with $30, but not before tearing apart the lemonade stand.
Three other children ages 8, 10 and 13 witnessed the incident and helped police track down the 12-year-old.
"He ran home with the other kids chasing him," Goggin said.
Police said they found him at his home nearby. The boy will be charged in juvenile court.

Port of Call Guide - Ibiza, Spain
The style of Ibiza is as diverse as the ways you hear people saying its name. 'E-zee-tha', 'e-bee-tha' and 'e-vee-thaa' are common variations. And you'd be hard-pressed to think of such a diverse blend of people anywhere. Ibiza plays host to all sorts of people with its outrageous nightlife, beautiful beaches and mild summer climate.
Through time, the 3 main islands, Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca, were the object of invasion by foreign empires. As early as the fifth century BC Carthagian forces held Ibiza . Moorish forces came around the eight century AD and established control until the collapse of the empire. James I of Aragon gained dominance over the island in the 12th century. Only 50 years later he lost his claim to the separate kingdom of Mallorca. Later the islands returned to the Spanish crown.
Today the original Ibiza, a characterful an island of villagers, and fisherman still exists. But Ibiza is equally famous for its laid-back vibe, its dance-music roots, its chilled beach-bars, and its energetic parties. Thousands of visitors arrive on cruises to Ibiza to enjoy the beach culture and nightlife.
The Port
As your cruise ship enters the port of Eivissa (also known as Ibiza Town), you'll have a fine view of the magnificent fortifications of the Dalt Vila, or Old Town. The fortified ramparts were finished in the late sixteenth century, to protect the town from pirates, and are 75 ft high and 15ft thick. On your right hand lies the new part of town, the home to one of the largest clubs in the world, Pacha.
Most ships on cruises to Ibiza will berth at the outer port of Botafac. It is about a 5 minute coach ride to Dalt Vila. Smaller ships will dock at the Abrigo Dock, next to the boho Sa Penya area, and a 5 min stroll to the Old Town.
Don't Miss
La MarinaLa Marina, Ibiza Town's portside area, often just called 'El Puerto', is the heart of the Ibizan capital. A crooked warren of cramped streets, it's shoed-in between the port waters and the high walls of D'Alt Vila. Its alleys and small plazas are brimful with stylish boutiques, characterful restaurants and trendy bars, and a busy market of eye-catching stalls.
Dalt VilaClimb through D'Alt Villa and enjoy quaint shops, picture-perfect homes jammed into cramped streets - all hallmarks of a relaxed port. You'll have many opportunities to stop and marvel the view over the town and port. At last you'll get to the Placa De Catedral, at the very summit, for all around views of the complete of Ibiza. The island of Formentera is easy to spot on the horizon.
Archaeological MuseumHere the island's tempestuous history is fully represented, with a variety of exhibits from pre-Roman times to the 15th century. The main hall has a fine vaulted-ceiling, which hails from the 14th century.
Museu PugetThe Museu Puget has a excellent collection of paintings and pictures by the renowed Ibizan artist Narcis Puget Vinas.
Puig d'en VallsThe eighteenth century windmills of Puig d'en Valls highlight the importance of windpower in the development of Ibiza. Currently you should be able to spot 4. Under the hill's lee sits the fascinating Punic Necropolis.
Playa Den BossaTo reach Playa Den Bossa beach take a short ride from Ibiza town by bus or taxi, or sail on the water taxi, which departs from outside McDonalds. Here is the longest stretch of sand on the island, and is also host to the chilled-out Bora-Bora beach bar, and the fabulous Space megaclub.

On Tuesday, Skyview Atlanta -- a 200-foot high, skyscraping Ferris wheel -- opened to much fanfare in downtown Atlanta, across from Centennial Olympic Park. Some people camped out as early as 7 a.m. to be among the first to get a ride.After the ceremonial ribbon cutting about noon, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed and City Council members took the first official ride on Atlanta's newest local attraction."When you get to see Atlanta from that vantage point, it just makes you feel good about the city when you see how well it's laid out and how much is going on," Reed said. "You can see all over on to the Ponce de Leon corner, you can see up north to Buckhead. You can see, of course, west Atlanta. It just gives you a real sense of pride."Crews spent the morning leading up the long-awaited opening making all of the final security checks and taking the wheel on dry runs in preparation for Tuesday's historic moment.Atlanta's newest attraction is located in the 100 block of Luckie Street, directly beside Tabernacle Atlanta. The ride will complete four revolutions per ride and last about 15 minutes, according to developers.FOX 5 cameras were there as they installed the special VIP gondola, which features an all-leather interior with a glass floor. In all, there are Ferris wheel totes 42 gondolas that each hold up to six passengers.The cost is $13.50 ($14.45, including tax) for adults, $8.50 ($9.10, including tax) for children and $12.15 for military ($13, including tax).Boasting the 'You can see Atlanta from here' slogan, the 200-foot high attraction gives passengers a sweeping birds-eye view of the city.The attraction will be open most days 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. with an extra hour at night on Saturday.

Check Out Vacation; Opportunities
Buying a Home
Check Out "Vacation" Opportunities
Real estate values have dropped significantly in the past few years, especially in areas where people tend to purchase second homes, vacation homes, or getaway homes, like near beaches, resorts, and other "vacation" areas. In some cases the price for a home in what was a "destination" area may be less than the price for a similar home in a "non-destination" area. The reason is simple: In a down economy many people can no longer afford to maintain two homes.
Don't assume you can't afford a home near a beach or resort area you may find some of the best deals where prices have taken a beating. And when the real estate market recovers, values in those areas may rise more quickly than in other areas. So why not consider enjoying the best of both worlds?

CHICAGO -- Two feet here, two feet there, this topic would be a non-starter. Fair or unfair, it's true. If Sammy Sosa's deep fly ball in Game 4 of the NL Division Series is lofted just a little higher, Sosa is the series hero before a delirious clinch-happy throng at Wrigley. "Slammin' Sammy" had a few balls that were thisclose to being base hits in the Division Series; if they fall, the whole question of him "breaking out" is a non-question.
And if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its behind when it tried to fly.
Sosa was 3-for-20 in this postseason before launching a game-tying, euphoria-inducing two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday night. He sent an already crazy, already thrilling 8-6 game into extra innings, tied at 8-8, before Mike Lowell gave the Marlins a win at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are trailing, but maybe Sammy's coming around. And if Sosa is coming around, the Cubs are a much, much more dangerous team.
Sosa, as you might expect, never saw it in quite those terms. He didn't feel he needed to "come around." He just needed some balls to fall. His career postseason numbers could use a little buffing and shining -- 5-for-31 with no homers before the ninth on Tuesday -- but they were far from disastrous.
The slugger took exception to a question after the game, when a reporter wondered whether the home run took a weight off his shoulders.
"I've been hitting the ball very good," he said. "In the series with Atlanta, I was hitting the ball very well. They haven't been dropping -- they've been hit right to somebody. I've been getting a lot of good wood, very very hard. People don't realize that. They only see the things that they want to see. But I've been swinging the bat really good. I've been on top of everything, on top of my game."
The best example of that came just one at-bat earlier, in the seventh inning. With a runner on third base and two outs, Sosa scorched a one-hop laser beam up the middle, but Alex Gonzalez made a spectacular, full-extension play to scoop it up and throw him out. When you're hot, that ball goes through for a crucial RBI.
When you're not, Alex Gonzalez catches it. And you start thinking, here we go again.
"No question about it," Sosa said. "But you can't feel sorry for yourself. You've got to just keep continuing. Don't give up and keep continuing. It happened to me. It can happen to anybody.
"The one that I hit to shortstop, I put a good swing on that one. But the shortstop made an unbelievable play. What can you do?"
You can go up there two innings later. Sosa had never enjoyed success against Ugueth Urbina, going 1-for-11 against the Florida closer lifetime. But with his team down to its absolute last chance, he came through. Oh did he come through.
"I know that they have a big plan how to pitch me, but I stayed calm and patient and waited for the mistake," he said. "That was one of his mistakes right there. But that was great to come back like that and help out the ballclub, and make sure that if we were gonna die, we were gonna die fighting."
And the Cubs might have even a little more fight in them now. His big blast pumped up his mates, who knew it was just a matter of time before the former NL MVP came through.
"You look at the other side of that and ask why (he hasn't been coming through)," said Mike Remlinger. "There's been some great pitching going on. I don't think you can start knocking people because they're not getting their hits. There have been a lot of balls hit hard that have been caught and there have been a lot of quality pitches made."
Still, Sosa is supposed to hit those, at least some of the time. And until Tuesday, he hadn't. He had a grand total of one RBI in the Division Series. Frankly, it's remarkable that the Cubs advanced past the hard-hitting Braves without getting more from Sosa.
Maybe they'll get it this round.

Let's be honest – I'm always looking for quick meal ideas. By the time I get home from work, I have about a half hour to throw dinner together and get it on the table. Most (okay, ALL of the time) I have an unhappy one-year-old pulling at my leg as if to say, "Mom, why is there not food on my high chair tray yet?!" So, when it comes to meals, the quicker the better.
Bring the bold flavors of
ginger and sesame to a
variety of meals.
Sweet corn on the cob is one of summer's best treats. It's my go-to stop at the Minnesota State Fair where they grill the corn in the husks, then peel back the husks and dunk them in vats of melted butter…mmm, is it late August yet?! More ...

text: The "Outfront" blog post article that aemeraldrainc linked above is quite interesting. As suggested in the article, I think a figure skating lecture-style touring series (complete with video clips and Dick Button) would be a great way to attempt boosting more interest in skating by the general public. In addition, ISU and feds should collaborate on unique ways to entertain and educate the public about the new judging system, since casual viewers are so confused and turned off due to not understanding the contradictions of IJS, in what has always been a difficult sport/ art to understand. Also, I don't think there is a need to "search" for new skating stars, but simply to think outside the box and beyond the status quo re promoting all of the skating athletes/ stars who already exist, but are being ignored (and it shouldn't be all about the ladies, as others have noted in recent threads). More skating reality shows with a more serious and instructive bent might be helpful as well.

Hello, NFL fans!
A concept we'll be continuing ad infinitum is the 24-hour open thread for fans of all football, located in the FanPosts section of Battle Red Blog(a special thanks to Tim for allowing such nonsense for the low, low price of 2 Coors Lights). A place where football fans can get together and chat about a variety of topics ranging from football to foot fetishes. Just think of it as your favorite bar/hang-out spot where you can get to know your fellow NFL fans on a more relaxed and personal basis. The point of this thread will be to bring us, the fans of the NFL, together for some friendly conversation and camaraderie. These threads started out as a place for AFC South fans to gather, but it has grown to include fans from various NFL teams with Seahawks, Saints, Patriots, Dolphins, 49ers, Eagles, Jets and Packers fans in residence. Don't ask how that works, just be happy it does.
We've also been honored to inspire other teams and divisions to form their own 24-hour open threads. We welcome them all as part of our growing network of sister-threads, so stop by and check them out. Just be sure to be respectful of their differing rules and traditions. In short, don't be abrasive until they get to know you a little better.
Jack-A-Thread (JAT) Off-Topic Activities (OTA) at Pats Pulpit: A place for mostly Pats fans, but they welcome all visitors that are notJetsfans or actually from Boston.
APC Open Threads at Acme Packing Company: Real friendly folks who welcome everyone. Headed up byOBrienSchofieldismyHero, a crazy Pack/Pats-loving writer of science fiction and lame jokes. Aaron Rodgers"belt dance" required for admission.
NFC East Eternal Threads (bEAST) at Bleeding Green Nation: They've been around for a while now, but sometimes their threads are a bit more spur of the moment and usually filled with pics and gifs of bouncing boobs. It's a place mostly for NFC East fans and guys with a lot of testosterone, but they'll take anyone with the guts to walk in the door.
Official Community Thread at Niners Nation: They've got topics ranging football to Justin Bieber. Right now, it's mostly 49er fans, but you can help change that! Just watch your language as they have a "no cursing" policy.NOW DEFUNCT CSC Lagniappe Perpetually Open Thread (POT) at Canal Street Chronicles: If you enjoy discussing time of possession, horror movies, desperate women and no cursing this is your place! Saints fans o' plenty and a few others mixed in as well. Give 'em a hand getting their brand new threads going and stop by for some conversation about Drew Brees' hairline running a 50-yard fade route. NOW DEFUNCT
Daytime Random Live Thread/Cool Kids Club (CKC) at The Phinsider: This is a daytime/nighttime kind of thing. The daytime thread is a little more PG and has a new thread every day. The nighttime thread is more clandestine and only occurs at random intervals and at random locations after hours and disappears by morning. Kind of like the interweb Fight Club for nerdy Dolphins fans. You just keep your fingers crossed and hope you get lucky. CKC was The First, the progenitor, like the Dracula or Blimpies of all off-topic, open threads everywhere (Google it). Bow down and show your respect.
(NEW!) GGN's Thread About Nothing at Gang Green Nation: Newest to the club and in need of a little help getting their threads started, this is a mostly all Jets fan thread started by rexthejet, but they are super-friendly and will accept pretty much anyone with a pulse. So, if you are looking for some Seinfeld gifs and the highest concentration of single Jewish guys on the interwebz stop by and give them a shout.
Rules of the house:
- Nothing will be considered off-topic other than the usual religion/politics. [EXCEPTION!: SEE BELOW!!!!] NO POLITICS IS NOW A SITE-MANDATED RULE
- Check your hostilities at the door. All previous problems you have had with other NFL fans will be considered forgotten when you enter the thread. You may encounter others who seem to be ragging on each other. Please don't jump into the argument like you own the place. Things aren't what they always appear to be. It's probably people who know each other extremely well participating in some inside-joking or friendly ribbing.
This is not a Game Thread! There are threads already dedicated to this, and for good reason. It's the same reason why I don't watch Pats/Colts games with my Pats-loving brother-in-law anymore. Things get crazy real quick. The Colts game threads will be hosted at The Colts Authority. Feel free to join the fun there.
- No trolling, please. If the only thing you have to say is, "Colts/Texans/Jaguars/TitansSUUUUUUUCK!!!1!!1" you're not going to make very many friends.
- If you are having problems with someone in the thread, please email me and we can work together to resolve the issue in-house. Our hope is that this thread will be self-regulated by the fans themselves and won't need any outside intervention. If you don't like what you see, treat it as any other unpalatable link you have clicked on in the past. Apply eye-bleach and move along.
- Have fun! We're all fans and fellow pathetic computer nerds. We have more in common with each other than we have with most everyone else in the real world. Try to remember that.
- Try to keep the thread "safe for work" since a lot of the threaders may be viewing from the job site. In other words, TDM loves her boss's boobs, but it would be inappropriate for her to show pics of them on this thread. NOTE: THIS IS NOW A SITE-MANDATED RULE!
- There's a lot of joking that goes on around here and it's usually taken with a grain of salt, but some people are more sensitive to it than others. The line is kind of vague, but I like to think that if it is bothering someone that they should just point it out to the offending party to insure that they know where that line is to avoid future offense.
- If you were one of the people who rec'd the previous open thread to move it to the Recommended FanPosts section, please go back to that previous thread now and un-rec it. That way, the previous thread will move out of that section, and we won't be cluttering BRB as much. Also, feel free to rec this thread to get it up to the 5 required to move it to the Rec'd FanPosts section, but please don't go above that as it makes it harder to un-rec it later.
Read THIS! It is link directing you to a topic that can never be discussed on this site. If you break this rule it may result in warning or banning. So if I were you, I'd read it before commenting on this site, and more importantly, this thread, as it is closely monitored to prevent it's mentioning.
Myself (peytonsurdaddy) and TexansDC from BRB will be hosting the threads. As time goes on we'd like to add a representative from both theTitans and Jaguars fans as well. You may lobby for the position by
killing a pedestrian at random being a Titans or Jags fan and just showing up for more than 5 minutes and basically having nothing better to do with your life.

If anyone has seen recent photos of me you'll notice I put back on some of the weight I've lost since my wedding. So if you've really been following the blog the last couple years you'll have seen me go from skinny to fat to skinny to fat. (Skinny being a relative term). Right now I am working on eating better once again, so I've started out by just eating salads for lunch and then a high-protein dinner. In doing so, I am using up the last of my venison from this year's kill.
One of my favorite quickie recipes is for venison stir fry. There's a million different ways you could do it, and you can make your own sauce if you want, but my way works for me. Here's what you need:
2 whole peppers
1.5 lbs of venison round
8 oz. of preferred sauce
peanuts as desired
The execution is simple. Chop up the venison round to small pieces and throw them in a wok. Cook until brown and then drain out liquid. Now add your sauce and however many peanuts you want to add crunch. Chop up peppers to either strips or little bits and put in last. Cook until the peppers soften up. Serve with rice.
It's not the lowest calorie recipe of all time, but that's mainly dependent on the sauce you use. I change it up almost every time. The key for me is just to remove the excess liquid after cooking the venison, as it's kind of foamy and weird.
To your health!

CNHI News Service
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Reading food labels can be intimidating, but by keeping a few things in mind those labels can help consumers lead a healthier life, experts say.
Michelle Richart, community and diabetes educator at St. Vincent Anderson Regional Hospital, said they do a lot of label education with patients undergoing diabetes care.
There are four different parts to a label — serving information, the raw numbers, the recommended daily intake and the vitamins and minerals. Richart said the serving size is one of the most critical pieces to that puzzle stressing that it is important to know what an actual serving size is as it impacts the rest of the label.
Jenny Martin, Community Hospital Anderson nutrition coordinator and registered dietician said most people are getting significantly more than what a typical serving is.
"I think they would be absolutely surprised to see what an actual serving size is," she said.
The "raw numbers" give consumers the number of grams or milligrams of things like fat, calories, carbohydrates and other items, Richart explained. And often next to that raw number is a percentage that shows what portion of the recommended daily intake is for someone consuming a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet.
But she stressed if you aren't following that particular diet then that number essentially is pointless.
"When you look at a label, focus on what is most important to you," Richart said. "We teach our patients to look at that thing first. If you have a heart condition it may be the sodium. If you have diabetes you look at something different."
Martin said that labels have changed over the years and what is included on them is mandated by the Food and Drug Administration.
"Know what you are looking for before you look at the label," she said. "It can be confusing if you don't understand what you are targeting. People can make things more difficult than they actually are. Look at the grams and milligrams over the percentages."
Ingredients on labels are listed in the order of what the item contains, ranging from the most to the least, Richart said.
Organic foods are regulated by the USDA. Items labeled as organic must demonstrate that producers are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity and using only approved substances, according to the USDA.

Hello Everyone!
My name is Stacey Luebke and I am a long time reader of the site, mostly over the shoulder of my husband, Ron. Decided today that I would register so I could be more involved with everyone and all of the exciting things going on here. Went to Stonethrow a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it very much. Thanks Kodiak for hosting it! I am working on obtaining my own Cub, perhaps a Loboy? so I can have as much fun as everyone else seems to be having. Maybe I will start a local "girls" tractor club for the parades?
We have three children, 20, 14, & 3 and a grandbaby (girl) on the way in January '08. We are very excited about her. Especially my daughter and I because we are outnumbered by all of the boys around here. I love gardening, photography, knitting, scrapbooking and reading. I work as a Rural Mail Carrier Associate at the Acworth Annex -US Postal Service. Look forward to meeting and talking with everyone.
Stacey's new membership, Miss Farmall
Hi Stacey, great to have another wife/hubby team on the Forum. Keep on looking for that LoBoy and congratulations on the impending new arrival. Sounds like you and Ron are going to need a fleet of Cubs , Pete
Welcome aboard to all. Stacey, it was good to meet with you and Ron at Stonethrow. The wife enjoyed the lady's session on Friday very much. We had to leave early but are looking forward to next years Stonethrow already. Maybe by then you and my wife will be riding your own colors in the parade.
If you can't find it, don't lose it.

I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Introduce Yourselves Here Please (NEW - Oct. 2006)
What kind of recipes do you want? I have a lot, but mostly I just look at what ingredients I have available and make something out of it. Kinda like Sonny makes his equipment. I read a lot of recipes--Sonny says I am the only person that reads a recipe and picks it apart; but I just put in the ingredients that I like or have on hand. Thanks; Virginia

What improvements exactly had Free made?
Chucking the ball deep to a big stud WR is awesome. But he has been able to do that since day 1. The quality of his WR went through the roof, so that accounts for a good deal. But that is not improvement. That is just mining more of the same with better equipment. And the franchise numbers thing is nothing to gawk at after a playoff less (yet again), losing (yet again) season. And in comparison to most franchise records, they still pale. Color me unimpressed by the "improvement". What has he done to IMPROVE?!

Boston � It's painful for Miguel Cabrera to play, and has been for nearly three months. In this series, it's especially painful to watch.
On the big stage, the game's best hitter can't do what he does. And it's too bad, because if he had his power, the Tigers might not be scuffling for runs, and Prince Fielder might not be under such scrutiny. It's too bad that fans are seeing barely half of what Cabrera can do, his abdominal and groin injuries sapping his leg strength.
Jim Leyland called it "a shame," and in a way, he's right. The Red Sox probably don't mind Cabrera's troubles, but for the Tigers, and probably for casual baseball fans, seeing the cracked shell of a superstar doesn�t seem right.
Cabrera is fighting through it, not complaining, not even wanting to discuss his injuries. "It's no time to feel sorry about how you're feeling," he says, and there's far less playfulness in his manner these days. I'm sure when the season ends, the Tigers will hotly debate how they handled Cabrera, and whether a stint on the disabled list would've helped. But the truth is, they needed him during a spirited division race, and they really need him now.
"It kind of breaks your heart, to be honest with you, to see him out there the way he's hurting," Leyland said before Game 6 on Saturday night. "He's tough as nails. I have so much respect for him. Everybody is conscientious these days about people earning their money. You talk about somebody who is earning their money � this guy feels like he owes it to the Detroit Tigers and our fans to be out there.
"We're not trying to hide anything. I think that's pretty obvious to the naked eye when you watch him. But he's out there, and we're glad he's out there."
Cabrera doesn�t feel like himself, and at times doesn't look like himself. He has lunged at bad pitches, something he rarely does. But he is contributing, hitting .263 with two home runs and seven RBIs. Yes, even hobbled, Cabrera leads the Tigers in the postseason in home runs and RBIs. Against the Red Sox, he was 5-for-18 heading into Game 6.
In a pitching-rich postseason, Cabrera's numbers are fine for a normal hitter. For a guy who has won three straight AL batting titles, an MVP and a Triple Crown, the menace is absent.
"It's really a shame for the whole baseball world because they're not getting a chance to see him at his best," Leyland said. "This time of year, people are turning on the TV, they love to see these guys. Obviously, I think he's the best player in the league. To not be able to see him at his best because of a physical ailment, it hurts a little bit. But that's just the way it is."
There are no excuses this time of year, and Cabrera isn't making any. But his injuries have been evident on several key plays, including the out at home plate in Game 5. Third-base coach Tom Brookens first waved him in, figuring a two-out hit should score a guy from second. And I bet Cabrera's pride told him the same thing, and perhaps that's why he ran through Brookens' subsequent stop sign.
Like I said, Cabrera isn't asking for sympathy, and the Red Sox aren't offering any.
"We've got guys that are banged up as well," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "When we've mis-located (a pitch), he's still driven the ball for extra-base hits around the ballpark. Every time (Cabrera) steps in the box, he's got a chance to change the score."
That chance has diminished for Cabrera, but the respect hasn't. Even hurting, he helps more than he hurts.
