Here's my bird's-eye view. Please excuse the linty shirt.
(On an unrelated note, "linty" is an excellent Scrabble word.)
I haven't really talked much about the last 8-or-so months of gestating here on the public version of the internets. I figure your tolerance for anecdotal vomiting and photographic evidence of elephantine ankles is on the normal side....where "normal" means "pretty low." (Though, to be fair--in the interest of honesty for my posterity--to describe my ankles as "elephantine" would be to pay them a compliment. "Elephantine" is what my ankles aspire to these days, and "elephantine" is really a best-case scenario. I'm pretty confident that an elephant would look at my ankles and feel badly for me. Further, I'm entirely sure that a pregnant elephant in month, like, 47 of her pregnancy would look at my ankles and have a sudden self-esteem boost.)
And that might just be the most I've ever written about my ankles ever in my life. Also, elephants.
We're in the home-stretch--with only 3(ish) weeks to go. Baby Boy is going to be chubby (just how we like it) and--like Blake--tall. (That's still remarkable for me to think about, given the vertical challenges of his genetics. I'm just sayin'. Sometimes the gene pool gets a little bonus, I guess.) Unlike Blake, however, this baby likes to hang out in the lung area, causing me all of those breathing problems I'd always heard about from other people, but didn't have first-hand knowledge of since Blake decided that he wanted to hang out in the feels-like-a-bowling-ball-between-your-legs position.
(On the other hand, Blake DID score a lot of bonus points by transitioning from inside to outside precisely 30 minutes before his due date. And given my robot-like compulsion for punctuality, it still warms my heart to think of it.)
So things are humming right along here in the department of gestation. We're excited for his arrival, and I'm nesting like a crazy person. Crazy-with-a-capital-C. (I'm nuts. Really and truly. But my house is clean most of the time...which I call a win, considering the glacial pace at which my waddle-y body moves at this point.)
Now I'll just try and take that deep breath that has been eluding me for weeks.

Professor Kathryn Zurek works at the interface of particle physics with cosmology and astrophysics. Her work spans both studies of new physics signatures at colliders, as well as astrophysical searches for dark matter (DM) and physics beyond the Standard Model in the neutrino sector.
Recently, she has been most active in the study of DM. The presence of DM (five times as prevalent as ordinary matter in the universe) provides strong evidence that there are new particles beyond those in the Standard Model (which describes all currently known particles and interactions). Professor Zurek works on theories of DM and ways that we can detect it in the lab by DM-nucleus interactions, at colliders through high energy collisions, and in the galaxy by DM self-annihilations.

Vaccine issue resurfaces in MontpelierVermont Press Bureau | February 08,2013One of the surprise controversies of 2012 arrived at the Legislature in the form of a bill that sought to rescind the philosophical exemption invoked by hundreds of parents across Vermont to sidestep school vaccination requirements.
A grassroots coalition of well-organized citizens managed to quash the legislation, convincing lawmakers to adopt a watered-down version that made it only slightly more difficult to invoke the exemption.
One the top supporters of the 2012 bill, however, is renewing the push this year to address what he says are alarmingly low vaccination rates in pockets of the state.
Rep. George Till, a Jericho Democrat and the lone medical doctor in the Legislature, wants to remove both the philosophical and religious exemptions for the vaccination that prevents pertussis a.k.a. whooping cough. And at public schools where the vaccination rate drops below 90 percent, Till has a separate bill that would revoke the religious and philosophical exemptions for any vaccination.
Till says the pertussis problem is particularly acute, growing from 18 confirmed cases in 2010 to 645 in 2012.
And in 2012 that included four cases in infants, Till says. And while we got lucky and none of them died, the mortality rates for infants is 50 percent, so we really could have had a tragedy.
The second bill would take a school-by-school approach to the vaccination issue, eliminating the religious and philosophical exemptions only at public schools that fall below the 90 percent threshold. When rates for any single vaccination fell below that mark, Till says, his bill would require all current and prospective students to have the vaccine administered. Parents that didnt comply wouldnt be allowed to send their children to the school. Till says the bill preserves the medical exemption.
Rep. Mike Fisher, chairman of the House Committee on Health Care (on which Till also sits), doesnt sound keen on revisiting the vaccine issue.
He says the House dedicated a lot of time to the issue last year.
We addressed vaccinations last year, and I think we should give that law time to play out before coming back to it, Fisher says. I dont think were interested in taking it up at this time.
In a report submitted last week to the Legislature, Commissioner of Health Harry Chen said the most effective way to protect immunocompromised students is to require universal immunization.MORE IN Vermont NewsNORTHFIELD Officials at Norwich University are set to celebrate a museum on its Northfield...

A new initiative in Rogers County began over the weekend helping certain members of the Rogers County Sheriff's Office.
"10-23 Request Backup" was created after officials witnessed the need for assistance within the RCSO. And on Sunday Sergeant Tandy Reeder was the first to benefit from the new program.
"We recognize that those of us within the ranks of law enforcement often time we need assistance," Rogers County Deputy Coy Jenkins said. "And that's why we came up with this program."
The initiative's name stems from the radio command for an officer in need of assistance. And the assistance is what the department hopes to give officials like Sergeant Reeder for all they give to the general public.
"I was told we were going to investigate a fraud and we were going to meet at my house," Reeder said. "And then police cars, news crews, tons of cars and pickups pulling into my driveway with a tractor."
Crews with the "10-23 Request Backup" program gathered at Reeder's home to help cut down tree limbs and clear out his yard. In the future the program also will help officers during times of stress or financial need.
"I love these guys. I appreciate them very much. I didn't do anything to deserve this, but I appreciate them very much," Reeder added.

P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }
I'm a quite young spurs fan, I've been following them for about 20 years now, and it recently occurred to me that during this period there has been one person who has consistently let us down both on and off the pitch. Think of the nearly wins we had at Old Trafford in recent years, with their perfectly legal disallowed goals, or the exit during our maiden Champions League adventure when we crumbled against Real Madrid, and also our also nearly Champions League qualifications under Jol and Chelsea snatching this from our hands last year. If one person had just pulled his weight a bit more we could have avoided all this and even won the Premier League and Champions League in recent years.
Not only could this one person have single handedly avoided all our recent disappointments, but also if his son had been sent to our club, who himself is extremely highly rated by all the big clubs in Europe and South America, he also could have given us a huge boost. I know that he is a controversial figure for some Spurs fans, but you cannot argue with results and on his day he is capable of turning round literally any game.
However, it doesn't stop there either. This one person is not only culpable for our one pitch failures but has also singularly failed to protect us in the bars and pubs of the cities we visit on our European travels. Admitedly, He has helped some of the families of Spurs fans in their more exotic travels in the past, and for this I'm sure we can all be very grateful. But I'm sure some of us are wondering slightly if He has abandoned us in recent times... Come on Spurs fans, it's time to put pressure on this person to make results role our way again!

Town Square
Now, this is news. DC Democrats passed a budget!
Original post made by jimf01 on Mar 23, 2013
The Democrats who approved (not a single GOP vote) this will say they voted for spending cuts. The Murray budget contains $975 billion in spending cuts, including $275 billion in new cuts to Medicare and Medicaid spending. But it also turns off $1.2 trillion in automatic cuts scheduled over nine years. Factoring that in, the budget does not constitute a net spending cut.
But you knew they wouldn't ever, ever cut spending, right?
Is this the leadership you want? Inaction for four years, and then when they do pass a budget, it has higher taxes and more deficits. Sen Jeff Sessions summed things up pretty well:
"Honest people can disagree on policy. But where there can be no honest disagreement is the need to change our nation's debt course. The singular truth that no one can escape is that the House budget changes our debt course while the Senate budget does not. The Senate budget increases taxes, increases spending, and adds $7.3 trillion to our debt. It has zero real deficit reduction."
"The massive debt we have racked up to finance our wasteful government is pulling down growth today. Gross debt over 90 percent of GDP weakens growth now. Not tomorrownow.
"In other words, the more money we borrow to mail out government checks, the more and more people there are that will need government checks. This is why we can no longer define compassion as borrow-and-spend. Our goal should be to help more Americans find jobs, better wages, and to achieve financial independence.

"In other words, the more money we borrow to mail out government checks, the more and more people there are that will need government checks"
Yes, and that's mainly Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid (and in recent years corporate welfare). Finally Republicans like Paul Ryan are acknowledging that. We can't make real progress on balancing the budget without cuts to Medicare.
on Mar 23, 2013 at 10:45 am
Thank you for Medicare and Social Security! tee hee...
on Mar 23, 2013 at 11:26 am
Question for "patriot", can you cite where in the Ryan budget just passed it shows a cut in Medicare? There are reforms, you might even be able to rightly claim that there is a decrease in the current baseline planed increases which would have occurred if there were no changes. But is there a cut? No, I do not believe there is.
But feel free to show where I am wrong. And as for entitlement reform writ large, are you against reforms? Are you against changes? Aren't the Republican, White House, and Democrat budget proposals where these discussions begin? Well, now we see where the Dems stand, right? They do not touch entitlements, and let deficits and spending grow and grow. The President? Hasn't even produced a budget, as he is legally required to do. Might hae something to do with the fact that his last one got ZERO votes in favor, every Democrat and every Republican vote in the House and Senate was against it. Skunked.

A Huawei telecommunication array, displayed in a company exhibition hall in Shenzhen, China, on March 2012.
LONDON -- In the summer of 2008, Iranian security agents arrived at the family home of Saleh Hamid, who was visiting his parents in Iran during a break from his university studies.
The plainclothes agents, he says, shackled him and drove him blindfolded to a local intelligence detention center. There, he says, they beat him with an iron bar, breaking bones and damaging his left ear and right eye.
Hamid says the authorities accused him of spreading propaganda against the regime and contacting opposition groups outside Iran. The evidence? His own phone calls.
"They said, 'On this and this day you spoke to such and such person,'" says Hamid, now 30 and a human rights activist in Sweden. "They had both recorded it and later they also showed me the transcript."
Hamid was not the only one. The Iran Human Rights Documentation Center and other human rights groups say they have documented a number of cases in which the Iranian regime has used the country's communications networks to crack down on dissidents by monitoring their telephone calls or Internet activities.
Now a Reuters investigation has uncovered new evidence of how willing some foreign companies were to assist Iran's state security network, and the regime's keenness to access as much information as possible.
Documents seen by Reuters show that a partner of China's Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. offered to sell a Huawei-developed "Lawful Interception Solution" to MobinNet, Iran's first nationwide wireless broadband provider, as MobinNet was preparing to launch in 2010.
The system's capabilities included "supporting the special requirements from security agencies to monitor in real time the communication traffic between subscribers," according to a proposal by Huawei's Chinese partner seen by Reuters.
The headquarters of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. in Shenzhen, China.
Huawei also gave MobinNet a marketing presentation on a system that features "deep packet inspection" -- a powerful and potentially intrusive technology that can read and analyze "packets" of data that travel across the Internet. Internet service providers use DPI to guard against cyberattacks and improve network efficiency, but it also can be used to block websites, track Internet users and reconstruct email messages.
Huawei says it has never sold either system to MobinNet and doesn't sell DPI equipment in Iran. But a person familiar with the matter says MobinNet obtained a Huawei DPI system before it began operating in 2010. The person does not know how MobinNet acquired it or if it is being used.
Asked to comment, Vic Guyang, a Huawei spokesman, said in a statement, "We think it's not for us to confirm or deny what systems other companies have." He later said, "It is our understanding that MobinNet does not have such equipment." An official with MobinNet declined to answer any questions, saying only, "So you know the answers. Why do you need confirmation?"
The relative ease with which Iran has been able to obtain technology that enables surveillance illustrates the cat-and-mouse nature of the American-European campaign to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions through crippling economic sanctions. It wasn't until this year that Europe and Washington -- which primarily have focused on Iran's banks and oil industry -- targeted the sale of monitoring gear to Iran. But even now, the ban is not global, and does not extend to Chinese companies.
Reuters reported in March that China's ZTE Corp had recently sold Iran's largest telecom firm, Telecommunication Co. of Iran, a DPI-based surveillance system that was capable of monitoring landline, mobile and internet communications.
ZTE later said it intends to reduce its business in Iran. Huawei made a similar announcement a year ago.
Fixing 'the problem of youth'
The documents seen by Reuters challenge statements made by Shenzhen-based Huawei that it doesn't sell any Internet monitoring or filtering equipment.
But the documents' descriptions of the Huawei systems pitched to MobinNet emphasize their filtering capabilities and ability to enable monitoring by security agencies.
For example, a proposal made to MobinNet dated April 2009 offers what it calls a Huawei "lawful interception" solution. The proposal was prepared by China's CMEC International Trading Co., which states in the document that it had selected Huawei as its bid partner.
"As we know, lawful interception is mandatory and sensitive for the operators in Iran," the proposal states.
An accompanying diagram illustrates how the system can duplicate data streams and transmit the copies to multiple "monitoring" centers. It also states that more than 0.5 percent of all subscribers could be targeted and that individuals would not be aware their communications were "being intercepted."
CMEC is a part of an engineering conglomerate that includes a unit that for years has been under U.S. sanctions for allegedly helping Iran and Iraq obtain weapons of mass destruction. CMEC didn't respond to a request for comment. Huawei says it no longer partners with CMEC.
U.S. and other international sanctions are designed to deter Iran from developing nuclear weapons; Iran says its nuclear program is aimed purely at producing domestic energy.
Although Huawei maintains it doesn't sell any filtering technologies, its presentation given to MobinNet, marked confidential, repeatedly says its "DPI Solution" features "URL filtering," which can be used to block specific websites. The presentation also cites a number of customer "success" case studies -- including in Britain, Russia, Colombia, and China -- where it says telecommunication operators were using its system to filter websites.
For example, the presentation states that a Chinese telecoms firm was using the Huawei system "to settle the problem of youth getting secure and healthy access to websites, and the traffic should be controllable." The presentation also states that the system was used during the 2008 Beijing Olympic games to block "illegal" Internet phone services, filter websites and to conduct "user behavior analysis."
In a series of emailed statements, Guyang, the Huawei spokesman, did not address Huawei's claim that it doesn't "provide any services related to monitoring of filtering." But he says website filtering is used by many telecoms, including in the U.S., "as part of efforts to counter cyberterrorism, child pornography, smuggling of narcotics and other crimes, as well as illegal websites and data."
He said Huawei "did not sell products containing this function in Iran." He also said the Huawei system described in the proposal -- the Quidway SIG9800 -- can't access "content" in the telecommunications network.
But a former Huawei employee who has worked in Iran said the SIG9800 can be used to reconstruct email messages provided they are not encrypted. "This product has some special usage which Huawei customers do not like to share ... especially in Iran," said the former employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Storing every text message
The proposal to MobinNet for the Huawei lawful-intercept system states that it includes technology from a German company called Utimaco Safeware AG. Utimaco says Huawei is one of its worldwide resellers but that neither MobinNet directly -- nor Huawei on behalf of MobinNet -- purchased or licensed its products.
The proposal also states that Huawei equipment at another Iranian telecom had "already successfully integrated with" an Utimaco product "and accumulated rich integration experience, which will be shared."
The other Iranian telecom isn't named but Malte Pollmann, Utimaco's chief executive officer, confirmed that in 2006, Nokia's German unit had purchased Utimaco software for MTN Irancell, Iran's second-largest mobile phone operator which has a major contract with Huawei. He said the product hadn't been maintained for several years and that Utimaco believes it no longer is being used.
MTN Irancell is 49 percent owned by South Africa's MTN Group, Africa's largest telecom carrier. It declined to comment about the Utimaco product.
Interviews and internal MTN documents reviewed by Reuters show that prior to MTN Irancell's launch, Iranian intelligence authorities took a keen interest in the capabilities of its lawful-intercept system, and pushed to make it more intrusive.
Like most countries, including the United States, Iran requires telephone operators to provide law enforcement authorities with access to communications. But people who have worked at Iranian telecoms say authorities sometimes abused their access, targeting certain individuals without a warrant or with little or no explanation.
In response, a spokesman for Iran's mission to the United Nations in New York emailed a section of Iran's constitution which states that recording telephone calls, eavesdropping and censorship "are forbidden, except as provided by law."
The terms of MTN Irancell's license agreement stipulated that Iran's security agency could record and monitor subscribers' communications, including voice, data, fax, text messaging and voicemail, the internal MTN documents show. "At least 1 percent of all subscribers" could be targeted, and authorities wanted access to their location -- "within 10 to 20 meters" -- as well as billing information, according to the documents.

According to a person familiar with the matter, prior to its launch, Iranian authorities pushed MTN Irancell to provide them with even more surveillance capabilities. The requests included copying and storing all text messages on the network for 30 days and providing 36 different monitoring centers with access to communications.
The authorities also wanted to be able to intercept every call handled by an individual mobile-phone tower. "They were not talking of a single tower, they were talking of a large number of towers," the person said. "That is not the norm."
MTN, which oversaw the telecom's launch, didn't express to the authorities any concern about potential abuse, according to this person. Rather, the company argued during a series of meetings that the new requirements weren't part of the scope of the licensing agreement. MTN offered to add other surveillance capabilities over time, this person said.
MTN declined to comment. In April, its chief executive, Sifiso Dabengwa, said that any allegations that MTN was complicit in human rights abuses in Iran "are both false and offensive."
The Iranian intelligence authorities eventually agreed to hold off on their surveillance wish list - and allowed the telecom's launch. But they made clear they expected MTN Irancell would eventually install more capabilities, according to the person familiar with the situation.
The extent to which MTN Irancell later added new surveillance capabilities to its network remains unclear. The network did add enhanced location-based services in 2011.
A British company, Creativity Software, announced in August 2009 that it had won a contract to supply the technology, which it said would allow MTN Irancell to offer its customers special rates at home.
An official with Creativity Software did not respond to requests for comment. In a statement last year, the company said its sale was legal and "any connection implied between the provision of commercial location-based services deployed by MTN Irancell in Iran and any possible human rights abuses is ... erroneous."
Hamid, the human rights activist who says Iranian security agents told him in 2008 they had listened to his telephone conversations, says he had been using a cellphone he had purchased through MTN Irancell.
Then a student at a Syrian university, he said that he had returned to Iran to visit his family in Ahwaz, Khuzestan. The region is home to many Iranian Arabs who allege they have been subject to discrimination and economic deprivation by the Iranian government.
Now 30, Hamid said he eventually was released on bail and fled the country. But he said he was arrested in Iraq, jailed for three years and finally received refugee status in Sweden.
He said he was surprised that Iranian authorities had intercepted his phone calls. "I was completely taken aback," he said. "When I bought the Irancell mobile, I didn't even buy it in my name."
MTN declined to comment. The spokesman for Iran's U.N. mission said Hamid's allegations "are unfounded" and that Iran's constitution protects the rights of Iranian Arabs and other ethnic groups.
"Iran's constitution also bans any kind of torture and espionage," the spokesman added.

Tips For Growing Strawberry Plants:
Strawberries prefer to grow in full sun and well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. The plants tend to have shallow roots; therefore, the planting beds only need to be amended 12" deep.
Place plants 18 inches apart with the crown of the strawberry plant just
above the soil level.
Provide consistent water throughout the season and fertilizer with a balanced organic fertilizer such as Down To Earth All Purpose fertilizer. Every 2-3 weeks fertilize with organic Maxi-crop fertilizer for an additional nutrient boost.
Pinch the first set of flowers off to promote good root growth.
Harvest strawberries when ripe, and eat or freeze immediately.
Thin strawberry beds every year in the early fall by narrowing the rows to 6" -12" and mowing or cutting back the plants to 1" above the crowns. Thinning or renovating your strawberry bed will encourage productivity for years to come.
Apply a covering of mulch over the strawberry bed prior to winter for USDA gardening zone 6 or below. Mulching is the time-honored way to help strawberries survive even the coldest of winters.
June Bearing Strawberry Plants versus Everbearing Strawberry Plants:
There are two different types of strawberries; standard (June bearing) and everbearing. June bearing strawberries provide a large crop all at once and are ideal for jams or freezing, and tend to produce larger, consistent quality berries. Everbearing strawberry will produce throughout the summer for desserts and snacking. For best results, we recommend planting both types of strawberries.
Add more variety to your strawberry bed, by planting six or more Alpine Strawberry plants around the edge of the bed.
Alpine Strawberries
are perennial strawberry plants that produce delicious, petite strawberries from May until October.

The South Carolina Ports Authority has announced a new Clean Truck Certification Program to take effect on Jan. 1, 2014.
The program requires trucks serving the container terminals to have engines manufactured in 1994 or later. Truck owners must enroll in the program using the website, cleantruck.scspa.com, by the first of next year.
"By implementing this program, we achieve a reduction in the air quality impacts resulting from an older truck fleet, and modernize the over-the-road equipment just as we are doing on terminal with newer equipment," said Jim Newsome, South Carolina Ports Authority president and CEO.
During the month of November, the SCPA will continue offer an incentive of $5,000 plus scrap value to truck owners who use this opportunity to upgrade their truck engines.
A limited number of hardship registrations will be available on a first come, first serve basis for trucks who have called on terminals at least 52 times in the previous 52 weeks. Hardship registrations are currently being accepted will expire on June 30, 2014. Trucks calling on the terminals that do not have a hardship registration and have not been certified will be allowed to enter one time.
"As truckers and residents of the Lowcountry, we seek to provide motor carrier service using the most fuel efficient and cleanest burning trucks possible," said Keith Johnson, president of the Charleston Motor Carriers Association. "We support the Clean Truck Program and the opportunity it gives our members to upgrade their truck engines. This is a positive initiative both for our industry and for the environment."
SCPA will conduct on-terminal spot checks to confirm engine year, and the program pertains to all container facilities including the South Carolina Inland Port.

Joe and Melissa Basilone know the value of used items, they own a thrift store, but this year they decided to try and learn the value of living used.
For 2013 the couple made a resolution to buy nothing new for the entire year.
Melissa Basilone
"We were talking about how hard it would be or easy it would be, or what the complications would be of only buying used, and we decided to challenge ourselves to do that to prove to people that you can buy used and have a very rich, happy life and to kinda prove to ourselves that we could do it as well, " Melissa Basilone said.
The resolution included a few exceptions, food, personal hygiene products, medicine and one gift for each of their boys, ages three and 8, on Christmas, but the couple held true to their vow.
Even when it was challenging.
Like on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
"We had challenges with major appliance breakdowns, our dishwasher broke a couple of months ago so we were without a dishwasher for a little while," Basilone said.
Melissa says a year of living thrifty has become a rewarding habit.
"Instead of just rushing out to the store and buying it there, I would have to actually say do I really need this and if I do can I get used somewhere else," Melissa said.
The Basilone's are glad 2013 is done. As for 2014, to just remember the lessons learned the previous year.

The lineup was finalized Monday morning with the announcement that Milwaukee's Richie Sexson will represent the National League in the event, which will be held at 7 p.m. CT (8 ET) at U.S. Cellular Field as the capper to Monday's Gatorade All-Star Workout Day. The 18th annual contest will be broadcast live on ESPN and MLB.com Radio.
Sexson reached the semifinals of the Home Run Derby last year, when the event was held on his home field, Milwaukee's Miller Park. He lost to eventual runner-up Sammy Sosa in the semifinals, 6-5. With 25 homers, he almost has surpassed his 2002 total of 29 and is on pace to extend his career high beyond the 45 he hit in 2001.

The NFL is opening its doors to two more CFL products.
Former Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver Chris Matthews has signed with the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, and former Edmonton Eskimos linebacker Damaso Munoz is joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Matthews was named the CFL rookie of the year in 2012 after collecting 1,192 yards on 81 carries, however, he appeared in just four games last season due to a bad case of turf toe. He was eventually shutdown at the end of the season as the Blue Bombers sputtered to a league-worst 3-15 record.
Munoz, a third-year player out of Rutgers, was sixth in the CFL with 88 tackles, six behind teammate T.J. Hill (94).
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @wwltvsports
METAIRIE, La. — Nick Toon remembers walking around the field of the old Meadowlands stadium nearly 21 years ago, following his father Al on the sidelines.
On Sunday, when Toon's Saints play the Jets, he'll return once again to East Rutherford, N.J.
But there won't be any conflicting feelings.
"I was a Jets fan growing up and it'll be fun to go out there and play against them," Toon said. "Naturally if your dad plays for a team, you're going to root for them. I'm happy to be down here in New Orleans. I can't ask for a better situation for a receiver."
Toon has yet to make a big impact on any game statistically, catching only three passes for 60 yards. He has been inactive twice in New Orleans' first seven games.
He's not worried, however, about what he has and hasn't done. He learned that from his father.
"It's all about having fun," Nick Toon said his father told him. "I love the game of football and going out there and competing and entertaining the fans. That's really what's it's all about, just going out there and having fun.
"So many kids dream of having the opportunity to play a professional sport for a living, we're all grateful to still have the opportunity to participate in this profession."
Toon's father spent eight seasons with the New York Jets, catching 517 passes for 6,685 yards and 31 touchdowns. The 1986 season, his second in the NFL, was his best as he finished with 85 catches for 1,176 yards and eight touchdowns.
He earned Pro Bowl berths in 1986, '87 and '88 and was a first-team All-Pro in 1986.
Two days after Nick was born in 1988, Al finished with 13 catches for 106 yards. The number of receptions was the second-most in his career.
Now, a day before his 25th birthday, the younger Toon will go up against his father's old team, the one he grew up cheering for as a child.
"I think it's a little surreal for my dad to watch me go out and play against a team that he played for," Nick Toon said. "Definitely surreal for me as well."
And if he doesn't have that big game, no big deal.
"The ultimate goal is to win and if it's me that has a big game and helps us win, that's awesome," Toon said. "As long as I'm doing everything I can do to help my team get the W, that's all that matters."
