Mont Rochelle aims to provide its guests with the ultimate Gourmet Winelands experience enjoyed in a fine boutique hotel environment. The hotel is a superb base from which to venture out into the winelands and Cape Town (which is just an hour away).
Mont Rochelle is an elegant thatched country villa set out in its own wine estate, complete with its own working winery. Mont Rochelle really is for the food and wine connoisseur as not only does it offer superb wine tasting courses but also cookery courses to compliment the palate.
Mont Rochelle is an elegant manor house with stunning Cape Dutch architecture surrounded by carefully tended gardens and horse filled paddocks. Mont Rochelle although homely in atmosphere offers a personalized service and excellent example of real South African hospitality.
Each of Mont Rochelle's 16 bedrooms and 6 suites is individually decorated, creating a unique ambiance. With en-suite bathrooms, telephones, televisions, safes, under-floor heating, air-conditioning and in-room refreshment facilities the rooms are very comfortable indeed.

There are plenty of ways in which to while away your days in the winelands, you may wish to follow one of the nature trails through the vineyards for an invigorating country walk or a gentle stroll.

A developing story out of Philadelphia's Frankford section: a homeowner fights back when men with guns try to break into his house in the middle of the day. Police say the homeowner didn't hesitate to take matters into his own hands.
On the 5200 block of Sylvester Street is where crime scene tape marks the address where the mid-day mayhem went down. The homeowner has not been identified, but a neighbor describes him as a man in his late 30s to early 40s. Police are hunting for two alleged home invaders, one of whom may be in search of help from a local hospital. As uniformed police stood guard outside the home, neighbors on the usually quiet block reacted to the news of armed men shattering their sense of security.
"It's scary," says Neighbor Vernette Harris. "Get a dog maybe, yeah."
A homeowner told police that two men burst through his back door around 12:30 in the afternoon, apparently intending to rob him.
"Complainant got a hold of one of the weapons from the individuals and fired shots. So we think one of the doers may be hit," says Inspector Michael Cochrane of the Philadelphia Police. "He thinks he shot one of the guys."
Neighbor Philip Robinson says he was getting his fix of sports highlights on TV in the afternoon when his dogs began to bark.
"When I hear barking, I go check on [my dog]. Then when I checked on him, that's when I heard a couple of pop, pop, pop, pop. That's when I 'whoa, that sounded like shots.' I came back up, came to the front door. I didn't see nothing," he recalled.
That's because the action was out back and next door. Police say the homeowner told them that two men, both of them armed, broke into the back door of his home.
"Yes. That's what he's telling us, and got off one or two, several shots, and as I stated, he believes he shot one of the males and we did find a blood trail at the end of the driveway," says Inspector Cochrane.
A trail of blood out back would appear to support that claim. The homeowner was uninjured and the two men took off. The homeowner told police that he they were strangers, which puts neighbors all the more on edge.
Carmen Lopez was visiting her sister Isabel when the shots rang out.
"Nice neighborhood before, but it's getting bad," said Lopez. "I want to move out of here."
Robinson was visiting his mother's house. He doesn't know much about the homeowner except that he's impressed with his reaction, at least from what he heard. Robinson calls this a generally quiet neighborhood but the thought of armed intruders bursting into a home in broad daylight had him worried.
"Make you lock your doors a lot tighter. A whole lot tighter, you know," he says.
The homeowner has been over at northeast detectives all afternoon. Police have lots of questions about exactly what went down and why. They have recovered a .45 caliber handgun and a bullet.
Again, lots of questions as to exactly what happened, but at the moment it is believed that there are two men out there, alleged home invaders, one of whom may have been injured in the scuffle and looking for some sort of help at the hospital.

Dolphins' season ends at the hands of #1 seed Eagles
Related Links
The JU women's soccer team lost 2-0 Friday night in Fort Myers, Fla. to the #1 seed Florida Gulf Coast Eagles in the semi-final round of the Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament.
Coming into the match, the Dolphins knew that things would end differently than the last four times the Dolphins and Eagles had met. The two teams had tied in four straight contests but since this meeting was taking place in the postseason, one team had to move on. Unfortunately for JU, it would be FGCU facing Mercer in the championship game for the second consecutive season.
Like the previous four matches, this game proved to be very closely contested with neither team able to gain much of an edge. The Eagles did however receive several key calls that went in their favor and had large part in determining the outcome of the game.
The Eagles got on the board in the first half with the benefit of a penalty kick. In the 35th minute the Dolphins were called for a foul in the box and Melissa Arnold took the penalty shot and placed it into the lower left-hand corner of the goal past JU keeper Jill D'Amico putting FGCU up 1-0.
The Dolphins came out of halftime down a goal and kept pressure on the Eagle defense. JU had five corner kicks in the second half after having zero in the first.
JU however, quickly found itself in a deeper hole than just being down a goal in a must win game.
In the 66th minute, FGCU had a player heading towards D'Amico and the JU goal. Junior defender Ally Lee was running right next to her and performed a slide tackle dislodging the ball just before the edge of the box. Head referee Oscar Ortiz blew his whistle and gave Lee a very controversial red card that did not go over well with the Dolphin players and coaching staff.
Despite the one man disadvantage for most of the half, the Dolphins still did well to create scoring opportunities.
The closest the Dolphins came to tying the game up was in the 76th minute when sophomore Miranda Fyfe fired a line drive shot that went just high and ricochet off the crossbar.
The Eagles were able to add an insurance score with less than five minutes left in the game as they caught the Dolphins out of position with a counter attack. Shannen Wacker scored her 11th goal of the season to seal the 2-0 victory.
"I'm incredibly proud of our girls tonight," said head coach Brian Copham. "The effort, heart, and fight that they put into tonight's contest should make everyone associated with the program proud. FGCU is a good team and tough at home. It is very unfortunate that a couple of questionable decisions went a long way long way in determining the outcome of such a closely fought and competitive game. Although I am very disappointed that our seniors have to end their careers like this, I want to thank them for everything they have done for the program these last four years. Their dedication and commitment have helped to bring us to the level that we are at today."
The Dolphins finish the season with a 9-7-3 record. With the overall winning record, the senior class leaves without ever having had a losing season.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Howie Kendrick launched his third homer of the spring and Ervin Santana threw four scoreless innings, but the Los Angeles Angels lost to the Colorado Rockies 4-3 on Monday.
Santana, removed from his previous start Wednesday after taking a line drive off the right shoulder against the White Sox, showed no ill effects in his 61-pitch outing. He allowed just two singles and struck out four.
Colorado starter Juan Nicasio went five innings and also fanned four. But he ran into trouble in the third, when Kendrick hit a 2-0 pitch to center for a three-run homer.
Those were the first earned runs allowed this spring by Nicasio, who gave up five hits.
Rockies third baseman Casey Blake, making his first appearance in eight days due to a sore neck following offseason surgery, was 0 for 2 with a walk and is 0 for 11 this spring with four strikeouts.

Hi guys,
Does PyS60 have an infrared module? I'm planning to create a universal remote control using the CellPhone's built-in infrared port. I've been browsing the bundled documentation of PyS60 and so far I have not yet found one. I hope that you will consider this feature next time you release a new version or update of PyS60. Any comments or suggestion regarding this module is very much appreciated. If by any chance someone know how to access the infrared port of the cellphone via c/c++ extension please let me know. Thanks.

The snow is moving out, after leaving a dusting to 2 inches across the metro area. North of Jackson, there wasn't much to talk about as just a few flurries fell. South of the metro, we saw sleet, ice and snow mixed for much of the day. Clearing skies, with temperatures dropping tonight into the teens, roads will remain slippery in areas where the snow was able to accumulate. Melting will happen during the day Wednesday as sunshine pushes the temperature barely above freezing during the afternoon. Wind chills overnight and into the morning will be in the single digits. The wind won't be a factor, but the cold will tomorrow night as lows again fall into the teens.
Thursday gives us sunshine and near 50 degree weather with us warming to near 70 with some rain by this weekend.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, Sci-FiThe show may be over, but the steady stream of merchandise isn't! Diamond Select Toys has three new Battlestar Galactica two-packs hitting retailers' shelves any day now.
The two-packs are divided into Boomer/Athena, Starbuck/Leoben, and Tigh/Gaeta. Leoben (played by Callum Keith Rennie) and Felix Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) are appearing as action figures for the very first time, while others are getting new re-sculpts, the most noticeable of which is Saul Tigh (actor Michael Hogan) who sports his eye-patched look after losing his eyeball to Cylons during the occupation on New Caprica.
The figures look good, with slightly better likenesses on the male characters than the females. You can see larger photos of the assortment at Figures.com.

On Jan. 24, my husband, Scott Sellers, had a heart attack. During his care at St. Vincent's, doctors discovered a rare tumor on his adrenal gland. The odds of having this are literally one in a million. The heart attack and damaged heart are a direct result of this tumor. The good news is that 90 percent of these tumors are benign and removal should improve his condition greatly.
A lot of you know Scott as that rocking guy who entertained you in different bands. He is also a loving father, husband and breadwinner for our family. Like a lot of people, we were unprepared financially for this. A young man close to our hearts realized this and set the ball rolling to hold a benefit. Calling on other musicians in the community he was able to hold this event on Feb. 23 at Shooters Bar only a month after this all began. Thank you Joe Damrell. You are forever in our hearts.
Many thanks to Matt Swisher, Chuck Kite, Code Winner, Andrea Lahmann and Chris and Kelly Kollmar for all the work you did. To everyone who donated a raffle time, thank you so much. To Jane Snay for popping up at th e last minute to raise money, I love you. To the bands that played, Scott's old partner, Jason McKeever, Unintentional Deception, The Crop, The Mud Hippies and Bo Jackson 5, you all sounded great and we thank you.
To all the people who came out to show their support, his original brothers on stage, The Wize Guys, Joe and Chris, his current brothers, The Riddlers, Jim, Steiny, Scoob and their ladies, Laura and Tammy, and our honorary family member, Chad Bellanca who has been there for us over and over, we love you all and thank you. To all the people from Federal Mogul for supporting the benefit and for the phone calls and cards you've sent, thank you. To my coworkers and patrons at Amelios, your support is greatly appreciated. Special thanks to Andy, Vickie and Sonny. I'm humbled at the affection and concern you've shown.
To our family members who have supported us, especially our children, Emily and Michael, we love you and you make us proud.
Scott is going to beat this thing and before you know it he'll be back on stage, rocking.
Leann Sellers

Interactive, Gamified Curriculum to Engage Parents and Motivate Students
ATLANTA, June 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Web-based education platform, Great Parents Academy, today announces its national launch amidst the country's growing math deficiency epidemic. According to the National Assessment of Educational Professors, only 26 percent of high school seniors scored high enough to be considered proficient in math, underscoring a crucial need for parental involvement and teacher support. Leveraging technological advancements, age-appropriate storylines, comprehensive curriculum and a tangible rewards system, Great Parents Academy seeks to remedy the math crisis by providing a supplemental solution.
"Yes, our schools are overcrowded, curriculum is non-individualized, teachers face declining budgets and there are limited tools for parental engagement," says Mark Buffington, chief executive officer of Great Parents Academy. "But we still believe that all children are born with the ability and desire to learn, parents can have the greatest impact on their children and teachers do a great job, given the time and resources allocated."
A Solution for Students and Parents
Great Parents Academy arms teachers and parents with an engaging online platform to take on these challenges and ensure that students receive the level of math education necessary to be competitive in future endeavors.
Using character-driven content as well as gaming features and functionality, kindergarten through fifth grade students work through sequenced math lessons that are based on a teacher-built curriculum that exceeds national and state standards. Children move at their own pace while parents and teachers can easily access real-time information to track progress, map problem areas and benchmark success.
"According to the latest results from the Program for International Student Assessment, 29 nations outperformed the U.S. in math," says Cynthia Morneweck, chief operating officer of Great Parents Academy. "As a parent, I believe we can do better than that. My goal is to create a platform that makes excellence attainable for every child."
About Great Parents Academy
Based in Atlanta, Great Parents Academy provides supplemental math curricula for children ages kindergarten through fifth grade. Through its interactive web-based software and gamified, character-guided lessons, Great Parents Academy motivates children and facilitates parental engagement in the early educational ecosystem.

The Senior Men Line 'Em Up - The Can Ball Report weighs in on this summer's final roster ...
So as expected, the Senior Men's National Team roster is up super late. Looking over it, there are not many surprises: the Gonzaga duo of Sacre and Olynyk played well over the last few weeks to warrant spots, Jermaine Anderson is the Rock, Andy Rautins was given the Ok to play, Denham and Olu can't be left off due to their athleticism and well, Joel Anthony is Miami Heat Joel Anthony. Everyone expected is there with one exception. Kyle Landry is a guy I thought would not be on the team but in a surprise move (to me at least) Tyler Kepkay was left off this time around. I'll comment more on this later on when I'm off work and the boss can't catch me playing hookey. Go Canada!!!

The CDC reports that the flu season is off to an early and aggressive start. In Illinois, one hundred fifty people have already been hospitalized in the intensive care unit for the illness.
So - how do you keep your kids safe from the flu? Or, perhaps more importantly, how is your child's school or day care keeping your kids safe from the flu?
Walter Hammond Day Care Director Lisa Sams says that their building already went through a bout of sickness - several of their kids and some of their teachers got sick. She says they clean and disinfect toys once or sometimes two times a day, and they also clean surfaces like door knobs and table tops. They also are being very proactive about the kids washing their hands - before or after they eat, after bathroom breaks, and after sneezing. And there's hand sanitizer at the ready.
WGEM News also spoke to some parents, who say they are proactive about keeping their kids home when they are sick, and hope others do the same.
"The one thing I would be concerned with would be other parents not keeping their kids home when they are sick after you've done everything you can to keep your kids well," said one mother.
Another parent said she noticed her son picking up good behaviors and bringing them home.
"They've got the ABC wash hands - and he comes home and he did that."

Philadelphia Eagles
Arrelious Benn - #17 - WR
|6' 2"/ 220 lbs.
|Washington, DC
|Years played
|2010, 2nd round, 7th pick by Buccaneers
Snow postpones Vikings-Eagles to Tuesday
The NFL has postponed Sunday night's Vikings-Eagles game to Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET because of snow.
Vikings-Eagles prediction
Everything points to an Eagles win Tuesday night, a very big win, PFW's Eric Edholm writes.
Coleman next Eagle who must rise up
Just as Jamar Chaney was asked to fill a big pinch-hitting role when MLB Stewart Bradley went down with an elbow injury, now Kurt Coleman must step up with Nate Allen out for the season.
Vikings-Eagles matchup of the day: Friday
Let's take a look at one final key matchup as the Eagles and Vikings get set to face off Sunday night in Philadelphia.
Vikings-Eagles matchup of the day: Thursday
Here's yet another crucial matchup as the Vikings get set to face the Eagles in Philadelphia in Week 16.
Vikings-Eagles matchup of the day: Wednesday
Here's another key matchup to consider as the Vikings get ready to head to Philadelphia to face the Eagles in Week 16.
Vikings-Eagles matchup of the day: Tuesday
Let's take a look at a key matchup for the Vikings as they prepare to face the Eagles on Sunday night in Week 16.
Can Eagles' offensive weapons compensate for 'D'?
The Eagles are still buzzing following their epic comeback against the Giants, but their defensive injuries are starting to mount.
Eagles' Jackson turns it up a notch
Say what you will about the sometimes petulant and immature DeSean Jackson, but he's the most lethal open-field threat in the NFL.
Eagles FS Allen done for the year
Eagles rookie FS Nate Allen will have season-ending surgery on a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee.
Avant delivers knockout block for Eagles
Jason Avant threw a huge block on DeSean Jackson's game-winning punt-return TD, but didn't see the play after he was temporarily knocked out.
Week 15 Players of the Week
This week, PFW selects Eagles QB Michael VIck, Chiefs DE Wallace Gilberry and Eagles WR-RS DeSean Jackson as its Players of the Week.
Eagles stun Giants with fourth-quarter comeback
DeSean Jackson scored on a 65-yard punt return on the final play of the game and the Eagles scored 28 points in the final 7:28 to stun the New York Giants 38-31 and take over first place in the ...
Eagles put hopes in rookie MLB Chaney
With no time to work him in slowly, the Eagles will turn to Jamar Chaney at middle linebacker in the place of Stewart Bradley, whose elbow likely will keep him out at least until the playoffs.
Spencer, Middleton fined for QB hits
Cowboys LB Anthony Spencer and Jaguars DB Will Middleton were fined this week for hits to quarterbacks during last Sunday's games.
The Eagles have acquired wide receiver Arrelious Benn and a seventh-round pick from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Philadelphia's sixth-round choice this year and a conditional draft pick in 2014.||||||| Benn, a second-round selection (39th overall) by the Buccaneers in 2010, has 59 receptions for 862 yards and five touchdowns in three seasons. He led the Buccaneers with 13 kickoff returns for 306 yards in only eight games last year before a knee injury ended his season. In 2011, Benn had career highs in catches (30), yards receiving (441) and touchdowns (3).
Benn returned Sunday against New York.||||||| Benn was inactive for the season opener after being sidelined for part of training camp by injuries.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are missing two receivers for Sunday's game against Atlanta, including starter Arrelious Benn||||||| Benn, who has 30 catches this season, is being held out with a neck injury. The Buccaneers also are without backup Sammie Stroughter.
Benn has torn a ligament in his left knee and will miss the remainder of the season.||||||| Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris said Monday that the second-round draft pick likely will be placed on injured reserve. Benn was hurt Sunday when he was tackled following a first-half reception against the Seattle Seahawks. He finished the year with 25 catches for 395 yards and two touchdowns.
Benn recorded his first 100-yard game, finishing with 122 on four receptions in Sunday's 17-16 win over Washington.||||||| The rookie had 17 catches for 223 yards and two touchdowns in his previous 12 games.

After an exciting draft, here are my grades for each pick in the first round.
1. Carolina Panthers: Cam Newton QB, Auburn. Grade: D
Panthers start off the draft by taking
Jamarcus Russel Cam Newton. The only reason this isn't an F is because of the immense potential Newton has. I think he'll be a huge bust though, because he's probably the most inaccurate QB ever to be drafted #1 overall. Add his smug, entitled personality and you have a bust.
2. Denver Broncos: Von Miller OLB, Texas A&M. Grade: B+
Don't know why they wouldn't take Dareus, having finished 31st against the run in 2010. Miller is still a good pick though, and pairing him with Elvis Dumervil could be extremely dangerous.
3. Buffalo Bills: Marcel Dareus DT, Alabama. Grade: A
Buffalo would probably rather have had Miller because their need for an OLB is bigger than DE. Still, Dareus can play anywhere on the D-Line and is in my opinion the best player in this draft.
4. Cincinnati Bengals: AJ Green WR, Georgia. Grade: B+
Taking a WR in the top 5 is risky because the position isn't very important. Green is a great player though, and isn't the diva receiver that Carson Palmer is used to working with. I think Gabbert, Peterson, and maybe Fairley would've been better fits though for the Bengals though.
5. Arizona Cardinals: Patrick Peterson CB, LSU. Grade: A
Arizona stays true to its board and takes the best player available. Paired with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Peterson might create the best CB tandem in the league.
6. Atlanta Falcons (via Cleveland): Julio Jones WR, Alabama. Grade: D
The Falcons gave up an insanely large amount to move up for Jones, who like Green doesn't play an important position. Also, unless he turns into Randy Moss, they'll be paying a ton of money for a #2 receiver behind Roddy White.
7. San Francisco 49ers: Aldon Smith OLB, Missouri. Grade: A-
Good pick at a position of need for San Francisco, but I would've taken Quinn myself. Smith is probably safer though considering Quinn didn't play in 2010.
8. Tennessee Titans: Jake Locker QB, Washington. Grade: B
Not sure why they opted for Locker over Gabbert, but they clearly like his potential. Locker is mobile and has a good arm, but my sit behind Kerry Collins (assuming he is resigned) for a while before taking over.
9. Dallas Cowboys: Tyron Smith OT, USC. Grade: A
Many draft experts, myself included, predicted the Cowboys taking Smith and we were proved right in a crazy draft. He can play right tackle at first but hopefully will take Doug Free's spot on the left in time.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars (via Washington): Blaine Gabbert QB, Missouri. Grade: B+
Jacksonville seems to be done with the David Garrard era, trading up for Gabbert at 10. Still, he could use some time behind Garrard and will have a great run game to protect him with Maurice Jones Drew.
11. Houston Texans: JJ Watt DE, Wisconsin. Grade: A-
Would've liked to see them take an OLB like Quinn here with Mario Williams playing DE. Still Watt is a great fit to play opposite Williams and they can target a rush linebacker or safety in the later rounds.
12. Minnesota Vikings: Christian Ponder QB, Florida State. Grade: D+
Vikings tried really hard to trade this pick, but couldn't find a partner and had to majorly reach for Ponder. He could prove to be worth it though, because he is a good fit for the West Coast offense and was only rated so low because of his injury history.
13. Detroit Lions: Nick Fairley DT, Auburn. Grade: B
I see the logic, I really do. Fairly and Suh could be a really scary team. But if you're not going to take Amukamara and you're going to take a D-Lineman, why not take Quinn or Bowers at DE? Kyle Vanden Bosch is getting old and so far as I know they don't have much behind him at DE.
14. St. Louis Rams: Robert Quinn DE, UNC. Grade: B
Honestly, I would've loved to see the Lions take Quinn and the Rams take Fairley. I would've given both teams As if that had happened. Still, Spagnuolo loves DEs and Quinn could make a great team with Chris Long.
15. Miami Dolphins: Mike Pouncey G, Florida. Grade: B+
Ingram should've been the pick, I don't care if runningbacks are losing value. Mike Pouncey is good but he's not Maurkice. He'll be a good Center, but he'd be an All-Pro Guard.
16. Washington Redskins: Ryan Kerrigan OLB, Purdue. Grade: A
Great trade for Washington, and an even better pick in Kerrigan. He'll play opposite Brian Orakpo and wreak havoc on NFC East QBs.
17. New England Patriots (via Oakland): Nate Solder OT, Colorado. Grade: B+
Solder is a good pick but I would've taken Castonzo instead. He'll need some refining and conditioning before he's ready to protect Brady's blindside.
18. San Diego Chargers: Corey Liuget DT, Illinois. Grade: C
Liuget doesn't seem like a good fit in a 3-4 at all, so I'm confused why the Chargers took him. I'm not sure if he can play DE and would have to put on almost 20 pounds to play NT.
19. New York Giants: Prince Amukamara CB, Nebraska. Grade: A
Amukamara is incredible value here at 19 and improves the Giants' secondary which could use a serious upgrade.
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Adrian Clayborn DE, Iowa. Grade: B
Clayborn might be a great pick, but I'm surprised they took him over Bowers. If Clayborn is worth the injury risk, how is Bowers, who could've been the #1 overall pick, not?
21. Cleveland Browns (via Kansas City): Phil Taylor NT, Baylor. Grade: C+
Taylor is a better fit for a 3-4 and has some health concerns. Also, Cleveland actually does have some decent DTs but has virtually no one who can rush the passer. Jordan and Bowers both rate higher than Taylor and fit a more pressing need.
22. Indianapolis Colts: Anthony Castonzo OT, Boston College. Grade: A-
Castonzo is probably the most NFL ready left tackle this year, and is a good fit to protect Manning's blindside.
23. Philadelphia Eagles: Danny Watkins G, Baylor. Grade: C
Watkins has a lot of talent but probably isn't worth a first round pick since he's already 26 years old. Carimi would've been a much more valuable and safer pick in my opinion.
24. New Orleans Saints: Cameron Jordan DE, California. Grade: A
Great pick for the Saints, who get a versatile and dynamic player in Jordan. He's also an incredible value at 24.
25. Seattle Seahawks: James Carpenter G, Alabama. Grade: F
Carpenter has no business being in the first round. I targeted him for the Steelers in the second round. With Carimi and Sherrod still on the board, this is seriously dumbfounding.
26. Kansas City Chiefs: Jonathan Baldwin WR, Pittsburgh. Grade: B
Baldwin is a good pick and fills a big need for the Chiefs, but the value isn't really there.
27. Baltimore Ravens: Jimmy Smith CB, Colorado. Grade: B-
Smith has some character concerns and seems like a bust to me, but he is good value at the end of the first. Still, I don't see CB as a big need for Baltimore, certainly not ahead of OLB, OT, DE, or even WR.
28. New Orleans Saints (via New England): Mark Ingram RB, Alabama. Grade: A
New Orleans traded back into the first round and got Ingram, which could be the biggest steal of the draft. He'll bring back the strong run game that Brees fed off of in 2009.
29. Chicago Bears: Gabe Carimi OT, Wisconsin. Grade: A
Carimi should've gone much higher, ahead of Carpenter and Watkins, but fell into the Bears' lap. They get a mauler in the run game who will open things up for Matt Forte and just about anything is an upgrade for the Bears' pass protection.
30. New York Jets: Muhammad Wilkerson DE, Temple. Grade: A-
Wilkerson is a good player who could've gone much higher and fills a need for the Jets. I probably would've taken Akeem Ayers though, because he's great in coverage and can become a great pass rusher in time.
31. Pittsburgh Steelers: Cameron Heyward DE, Ohio State. Grade: B+
Not too surprised with the Steelers pick, they play it safe and take DE like they did in 2009 with Ziggy Hood. I'm bummed they couldn't trade up to get Carimi, who I think would've been a great pick.
32. Green Bay Packers: Derek Sherrod OT, Mississippi State
Another solid pick for Green Bay, who needs a future left tackle for when Chad Clifton retires. Sherrod could be a great LT with some time before he is thrown into action.

They can be synonyms but differ here:
When 'satisfied' means 'pleased, gratified', the antonym is 'dissatisfied'.
When 'satisfied' means 'completed, fulfilled', the antonym is 'unsatisfied'.
In addition, I imagine that there are some collocational preferences.

This is our second annual framing flash mob! We will frame a house in Center City Philadelphia (just across the street from City Hall) in a prominent courtyard where thousands of people walk by during lunch.
We will hold a press conference (we've invited the Mayor and other elected officials) and invite passersby to sign the framed walls to wish the Habitat family luck. We will distribute Habitat literature; and last but not least - we are going to have a "pop-up" Habitat ReStore to help promote the Habitat ReStore in the region.

5:37pm Wednesday 16th May 2012 in Entertainments By Julian Robinson , Eastleigh Chief Reporter
COMEDIAN Frankie Boyle has been attacked over his ''sickening'' comments about 2,100 Hampshire schoolchildren who formed the Olympic rings in their school grounds to raise money for charity.
The pupils of Bay House School in Gosport won a new world record by arranging themselves in the shape of the Olympic logo.
But the Mock The Week star wrote in a national newspaper that their effort was ''the most autistic response to a global sporting event''.
And Boyle added: ''For the kids of Gosport, learning how to stand bewildered in a blue jumper is all they need to qualify them for a life of working in 99p stores.''
Caroline Dinenage, MP for Gosport, said she was sickened by the comments, adding that they were "spiteful".
Headteacher Ian Potter has said he is proud of the Bay House School pupils after they raised a large sum of money for orphans of Malawi through their record breaking efforts.

Sunday's sudden, severe wind gusts caught a lot of people off guard, especially those who were out on the water. Now, water specialists are sharing tips to help boaters weather surprising squalls safely.
FOX 9's Scott Wasserman went out on the water to learn some life-saving tips from Adam Block, a conservation officer and water specialist with the Department of Natural Resources who has been working water patrol for eight years.
Block says the first step to staying safe involves getting to shore -- even if that means bailing on the boat completely.
For those who simply can't get to land in time, Block recommends heading to the shallowest part of the water while trying to steer clear of flying debris. He also warns against putting up a top to try to keep out any rain because the wind can catch the tarp and blow a bloat over.
For those who are in smaller vessels, like a canoe or paddle boat, Block urges anyone who gets bucked into the water to hang on.
"Don't leave your watercraft if you become tipped over," he said. "You want to hang onto that thing because it's got buoyancy."
Several boaters at Hyland Lake Park were faced with that situation on Sunday. A few people made it to an island and waited for help.
Life jackets are always a lifeline if worse comes to worst out on the water, especially when the temperature is cold. Adding extra insulation with a life jacket can keep shock and hypothermia at bay a little while longer while making it more difficult to drown.

The Ennis Center for Children, based in Flint, is spreading the word about National Foster Care Month.
The Center says, every day, some 513,000 children and youth are living in foster care because their own parents can't take care of them.
The Center says, as a society, we must address the needs of these children, who need a stable and secure home until they can either return to their parents or establish a lifelong connection to a nurturing adult.
The Ennis Center has been working with abused and/or neglected children for over 30 years with our services reaching over 3,500 Michigan children and families in crisis annually.
On any given day, the Ennis Center cares for more than 300 children in their foster care program alone. In a statement, Ennis officials said, "With the support of the community we strive to preserve families when possible and create new families when necessary".
Each May, National Foster Care Month provides an opportunity to shine a light on the children and youth in the foster care system. The campaign raises awareness about the urgent needs of these young people and encourages citizens from every walk of life to get involved as foster or adoptive parents, volunteers, mentors, employers, or in other ways.
The Ennis Center's Blue Ribbon Campaign event will be held Thursday May 9, 2013 at 2pm in the Genesee County Administration Building, 1101 Beach Street in Flint. The public is invited.

How to Replace a Ford Super Duty Battery
Any Ford truck requires replacement parts and accessories from time to time, and a battery is no exception to this rule. Replacing your Ford Super Duty battery is a minimally intensive process that can be done easily with a few simple tools at home. Read the following step by step guide for some advice on how to best change the battery on your Ford vehicle.
Step 1 — Gather Your Materials
You'll need the following materials and tools in order to properly replace the battery in your Ford truck:
- Replacement battery that's appropriate for a Ford Super Duty
- Screwdrivers
- Battery pliers
- Wire brush
- Socket and ratchet set
- Anti-corrosion and cleaning solutions
Step 2 — Disconnect the Existing Battery
First, turn the truck off and allow the engine time to cool down. Open the hood and detach the negative battery wire (colored black) from the battery itself using a set of battery pliers. Twist the cable that attaches the wire to the battery and pull it upward to remove it from the battery itself. Repeat this same process with the positive end of the battery wire (colored red).
Step 3 — Remove the Battery Clamp and Battery
Use the socket and ratchet set to remove the clamp that holds the battery itself in place. You're then free to lift the battery up and out of the vehicle. Be careful as you do this, as the battery may be quite heavy. Do not scratch the remaining parts of the car with the battery body.
Step 4 — Clean the Battery Tray and Wires
Use the cleaning solutions to thoroughly clean the battery tray and the surrounding cavity in which the battery lies. Use a wire brush to clean off the connection points on the wires that attached to the battery. This helps to protect the new battery from damage.
Step 5 — Attach the New Battery
Lower the new battery into the tray and secure it in place with the clamp. Attach the positive and then the negative battery wires and cables, and make sure that the connections are as tight as possible. If there is any looseness in the connection, you may run into problems as you try to start your vehicle.
New Ford batteries are available at car body shops and other service stores of that type. Ask a mechanic for additional assistance or advice with this procedure.

A man arrested and charged in a 1991 rape case has been charged in two additional rape cases from the same year, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Drayton Lamar Thompson, 42, was arrested on December 11 this year after DNA evidence submitted from the cold case matched his. He was charged with two counts of first degree rape and first degree sex offense, kidnapping, and felony conspiracy, police said.
On December 21, Detectives with CMPD's Sexual Assault Cold Case Unit charged Thompson, who was still in custody, for his involvement in the two additional rape cases, the report states.
The first case happened on August 12, 1991, when a victim was abducted by two males driving a vehicle on the 2600 block of Beechnut Drive. The victim was taken to an unknown location where she was sexually and physically assaulted. The men then released the female and she contacted authorities.
Detectives responded to the scene to investigate, but were unable to identify any suspects at the time.
The two additional cases also occurred in 1991 on the 1300 block of LaSalle Street and the 900 block of Beatties Ford Road. As in the other case, these victims were abducted by two male suspects driving a vehicle. The victims were taken to a home at an unknown location where they were sexually assaulted.
The suspects then drove the victims to another location where they were released. DNA evidence in these cases also matched the DNA of Thompson.
Thompson was charged with an additional six counts of first degree rape, three counts of first degree sex offense, and one count each of first and second degree kidnapping for his role in the two additional cases.

When he was in WEC, Urijah Faber was looked at as the face of the organization. Since joining the UFC that hasn't changed much for "The California Kid," as he continues to shine bright inside the Octagon and out.
Faber and bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz will coach against each other on the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter, being shown on FX starting March 9 and featuring live weekly fights. The two will also settle their trilogy following the reality show when they meet for the belt Cruz wears proudly around his waist.
"I'm pumped," said Faber, in a recent interview on Fuel TV. "I mean, this is going to be a huge opportunity. Not only is it a little bit longer – actually twice as long, thirteen weeks – but it's going on a new network. It's going to be live every week so people are going to be tuning in. It's going to be awesome."
Faber said he has been working out on his own schedule right now, but anticipates some interesting moments during the season based on the proximity of Cruz. However, Faber has no plans to try and mess with "The Dominator", as he feels it's not even necessary, saying, "I think he's kind of playing some mind games with himself."
Check out the video below:
MMATraining Take: Faber and Cruz will likely see their stock in the UFC rise once the show begins, as being on live television every week will only make them more known to MMA fans. For Faber, though, the biggest thing is taking the title off Cruz when they meet later this year.
[...] The upcoming season of the Ultimate Fighter debuts in a few weeks with a new "live" format and a batch of potential-laden prospects looking to become the show's next graduate to achieve stardom inside the Octagon. However, one of the most intriguing aspects of TUF 15 has to do with the intense rivalry between coaches Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber. [...]

In my last post I received the following question in the comment section that made me think.
How does Cremo Cream compare to Dr. Carver's Shave Butter? – Jay
Well Jay, first of all I do not really like to do comparisons, as I believe each product should be chosen on its own merrit, but after giving your question a good deal of thought, I decided it would be better answered in a post than to get lost in the comment section of another post.
At first my thought was one of "there is no compairison, they are two different types of products…" but in essence, since they do the same thing, they are comparable.
So, before I beg1n my answer (finally…) I want to state that even by comparing the two, my answers are not to be taken as "this one is better than that one." I believe everyone should make that choice for themselves.
Ok, Jay, since you listed them in this order I will describe each product as I see them.
Cremo Cream:
Cremo Cream is a non-greasy highly concentrated water reactive cream. Sounds pretty technical but it basically means as little as a pea-sized dollop will cover my head and face in enough cream to shave not once but twice by adding a little water to the residual product as I shave.
It also softens the hairs and conditions the skin to the point that I can can shave against the grain on the first pass. This is a big plus to me as many products make it that I have to shave first with the grain, then again against.
One of the things I like about Cremo is that fact that it has a white color so I can see where I have shaved and where I have not.
|Head Shave:
|(4.5 / 5)
|Face Shave:
|(4.5 / 5)
Dr. Carver's Shave Butter:
Dr. Carver's is a non-greasy cream that is a bit thicker than most I have used. It spreads out nicely with the right about of hot water and reactivates well when additional water is applied during the have. I do not get two full shaves of my head and face out of a pea-sized amount, but I am used to that. A second application mixes well the remainder of the first application and some nice hot water.
With Dr. Carver's, I have to first shave with the grain and then reapply to shave against the grain. Again, this is not a problem to me, I expect it from most shaving products.
Dr. Carver's has no color so it is difficult for me to keep track of where I have or have not shaved.
|Head Shave:
|(3.5 / 5)
|Face Shave:
|(3.5 / 5)
There you have it Jay, my I put aside my discomfort of comparisons. I hope your question is answered. Feel free to post a question any time or ever contact me at email@example.com any time.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer releases statement on Loughner sentencing
By KTAR Newsroom

Originally published: Nov 8, 2012 - 1:38 pm
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's office released the following statement on Thursday after Jared Loughner was sentenced for a 2011 Tucson shooting that killed six and left many wounded, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
During the sentencing, the judge called for a further review of gun control laws, as did several victims.
The below statement has not been altered in any way.
"The Governor has long anticipated today. Like all Arizonans, she has looked forward to this time when justice would finally be served for our friends and neighbors killed or injured on that terrible January day in Tucson nearly two years ago.
Governor Brewer knew some of the victims. She considers Gabby Giffords a friend, and has prayed for her recovery and that of the others wounded in the shooting. On this solemn occasion, Governor Brewer isn't interested in engaging in politics.
This is a day of justice and peace. Governor Brewer wishes both for the victims and their families."

The average Texan throws away about 7 pounds of garbage a day (more than the national average), totaling more than 1 ton a year per person. In Irving, more than 60,000 tons of garbage ends up in the city landfill, with each Irving resident throwing away approximately 3.7 pounds per day. Approximately 80 percent of that waste is potentially recyclable.
In one week, Americans throw away enough cans and bottles to circle the earth four times! Cans and bottles can be recycled through the City of Irving recycling programs. Irving offers residents many opportunities to recycle:
Curbside – Residents receiving solid waste services can participate by recycling paper, cardboard, cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic containers. Irving utilizes the blue recycling bag as the designated collection container for recycling. Single-family homeowners may purchase the bags at Irving City Hall or at any Irving recreation center. To get started with curbside recycling, contact Solid Waste Services at (972) 721-8059.
Drop-off recycling centers – The city operates two attended drop-off recycling centers. The centers are open 40 hours a week and accept paper, cardboard, cans, glass bottles and jars, and plastic containers.
Electronic recycling – Residents may properly dispose of their electronic recyclables such as CPUs, PCs, laptops, monitors, keyboards, mouse, wiring, cell phones, data storage devices, hubs, modems and docking stations at two of the three drop-off recycling centers.

Danville voters buck county trend, favor Romney over Obama

Danville may turn blue yet! Let's hope that Measure D passes. What would it say about us as a community if West Contra Costa School District can pass both a school bond and parcel tax with overwhelming majorities and the San Ramon Valley doesn't?
on Nov 9, 2012 at 7:31 am
MMG: Have you ever walked around the schools in Richmond, and then walked around the schools in Danville?? I have, and Richmond schools look worse than a third world country, and in Danville we are putting up $100,000 megatron score boards on our football fields because otherwise "we do not support education". Moreover, in Danville, the overwhelming majority of voters are homeowners(that is also why more voters in Danville voted for Romney than Obama) while in Richmond less than 15% of voters are homeowners, so why note vote for a parcel tax when you as a renter do not have to pay for it. Please take your misguided liberal ideas and get a clue.

Newcastle Increase Bid for De Jong to €12 Million
That around a 25% increase from our initial bid for the 21 year old striker. I doubt NUFC will raise this offer but if anything, the bid shows how highly NUFC rate De Jong.

A spokesperson from Governor John Kasich's office says that President Obama has denied federal aid to areas of Clermont County affected by last week's storms.
In response to the denial of aid, Governor Kasich said, "I'm sad for Clermont County that tonight the President said no to my request for the maximum amount of federal aid for them. I'm immediately applying for alternative federal disaster relief through the Small Business Administration and that request will be sent Saturday morning. I'm going to continue to work with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to try to find a solution to the housing shortage the disaster has created and I hope that we can find an innovative, outside-the-box solution."
Kasich originally said that he was not going to request federal aid, but reportedly changed his mind after seeing damage estimates from inspectors. He wrote a letter to the president on Wednesday asking for the maximum level of federal aid.
Saturday after the storm, Kasich declared a state of emergency in Clermont County, and called the National Guard to assist with the clean up.

BROWNSBURG — For the second consecutive season under coach Amy Nickol, the Avon Orioles girls' golf team hoisted the Hendricks County Championship trophy.
Last season, the Orioles bested Brownsburg by nine strokes. This year, Avon ran away from the field, winning by 30 strokes over second place Plainfield Saturday at West Chase Golf Club.
"This shows the team that they are progressing and gives them confidence as we continue on through this season," Nickol said. "They're ultimate goal is the state tournament and this is just one of the stepping stones to get there and they proved to themselves they could do it."
Of the 10 all-county spots, Avon claimed five of them, including Rachel Thompson taking home individual medalist honors. Thompson shot two-over on the front and four-over on the back for a 78 and was the only golfer to break into the 70s.
"I was lucky to pull out and shoot a good score," Thompson said. "I putted very well and that saved me a lot of strokes. This has always been a goal for me to be the medalist my senior year and I'm humbled to be able to accomplish this."
Thompson's sister, sophomore Leah Thompson, finished second by carding an 84. The pair has been playing golf since the latter part of grade school and the competition has been stiff, but the elder Thompson was very proud of her sister's accomplishment.
"We're very competitive," Rachel said with a laugh. "I'm really glad our team won, but I'm also glad my sister came in second after me."
R. Thompson (78), L. Thompson (84), Alex Price (93), Danielle Prechtel (94), and Ashley Pawlowski (86) each were named to the all-county squad.
Even more impressive in Nickol's eyes was the fact that none of the girls shot over 100, something someone from the Orioles did each match last season.

SHENZHEN, China, June 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- When you are using a smart phone, what do you consider most?
Hardware? Pixel? CPU?
Oh, no! If you are still trapped by these perimeters, you are definitely OUT! Now smart phones update quickly, and trends are homogenizing in the market, so we always need something new and funny to break free from outdated ideas.
Cool fashion always leads the trends during any century. Visual impact, a sense of self, fashion and high-end luxury, what do you think if these advantages combine into one? When many mobile phones factories have competing hardware devices against one another at this moment, ZOPO's has broken tradition with its glasses-free 3D smart phone!
3D idea first started from the movies. Do you still remember a lovely 8-year-old boy called Russell in the 3D movie Up? Remember those jealous little toys in the 3D movie Toy Story? From 2009, unprecedented 3D movies appeared one-by-one and amazed audiences.
Glasses-free 3D viewing is an intelligent technology that we use to display glasses-free 3D graphics and 3D movies. It makes what people see on screen appear even more realistic. What's more, people can get rid of the shackles of glasses!
In China, ZOPO is the first brand that brought Glasses-free 3D technology to smart phones. Recently, they released the latest 3D smart phone, ZP600+ with a quad-core processor. This model adopts a 4.3 inch 1080P Full HD sharp AVS screen. Many customers who have experienced ZOPO glasses-free 3D phones gave great reviews. The smart phone can also watch 3D videos, and it is so cool, fashionable and exciting. There are no doubts that 3D technology is one of ZOPO's specialties.
What's more, ZOPO keeps carrying on and developing its glasses-free 3D smart phone idea. On March 28th, 2012, ZOPO released a smart phone, ZP200, which is the first glasses-free 3D smart phone in China. This brought 3D smart phones further to the public, and it influenced the market at that moment. Later ZP200 was updated with a dual-core processor, called ZP200+. And after half a year, ZOPO continued to release its second generation glasses free 3D smart phone with a dual core processor, the ZP600. After updating the technology, ZOPO released its latest glasses-free 3D smart phone, the ZP600+. Because of its innovation and constant changes, ZOPO seized the Chinese glasses-free 3D smart phone market successfully.
Cooperating with 3DVsta and 3Dplayer, thousands of 3D games and movies are available at any time on the ZOPO glasses-free 3D phones for users.
ZOPO is going to release the third generation glasses-free 3D smart phone with a 5.7 inch screen and new style. No doubts that it will bring more fun and something fresh to the smart phone market with its unique new 3D smart phone effects.
Glasses-free smart phones are coming, what are you waiting for? Join us for this 3D storm!
