3.53/5 rDev +0.3%
Pours a clear pale amber/golden colour. Plenty of rising bubbles, a decent head which fades quickly to a film of bubbles across the top of the beer and little lace.
Plenty of sweet malt in the nose but also some hops. Very sweet up front with a slightly bitter attenuation. Maybe a little yeastiness. The body's a little on the thin side.
Not bad, but I've had better for the style.

A golden color with some substance and a thin layer of white head.
The aroma is of soft grains, maybe some lemon and honey.
Laid back mouthfeel with soft grainy, German malt notes and a quick, mostly clean finish.
This is a light tasting, light bodied beer that fits in well for the season. Good lawn mower beer.

The beer pours a yellow color with a white head. The aroma is not very good, with a mix of corn, grass and grain. The flavor is more of the same, with a mix of grain and grassy hops dominating the palate. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. There are a lot of good beers from Boulevard, but I really didn't enjoy this one very much.

Bottle via trade with GCurlow – thanks!
Pours a clear golden-brown color with a half-finger white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of light caramel malts with very slight hints of darker toasted malts. Also present are hints of leafy hops.
Tastes very similar to how it smells, though a good bit sweeter. Caramel malt flavors kick things off and quickly sweeten with the addition of light toasted malts. Midway through the sip the sweetness subsides a bit with the addition of earthy hops. The hops fade out quickly, fading out into a mildly sweet ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with decent carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I didn't have a problem finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall I thought the sweetness of the malts was just a bit over the limit of what I find enjoyable but it didn't completely destroy that limit. Worth a shot, especially if you like the style.

Poured into a pint.
Appearance: Pours a nice caramel golden color. This might be the clearest Boulevard product I've seen. This had a big of slightly off white fluffy head that receded pretty quick, not a lot of lacing. Not bad.
Smell: Some grassy hops start off this lager. Followed by some sweet pear juices. A tiny hint of candied fruits. Other than that, there's not much.
Taste: Some really nice malt going on here. More pear juices, and other fruits. Some grassyness. Dececnt.
Mouth: Bright carbonation is nice on the tongue. Pretty thin mouthfeel. Pretty standard for a lager me thinks. Doesn't coat the mouth.
Drink: This beer tastes pretty good, and with the low abv would make for a really easy session beer.

(Served in a dimple mug)
best before 07/01/12
A- This beer pours a crystal clear golden body with a sticky bubbly snow white head that last in sheets on the side of the glass and slowly slides back into the beer. There is a swirling carbonation of tiny bubbles.
S- The fresh sweet honey malt aroma turns nougaty as it opens up with a flinty hop bitterness coming through in the finish.
T- The clean slightly sweet malt note is followed by a green dry hop note in the finish that is almost just a bite. There is a carbonic acid taste that lingers a moment. As the beer opens a watery taste and sulfur note start to grow.
M- This beer has a light crisp fizz mouthfeel with no alcohol heat noticed.
O- This beer has a nice mellow sweetness with a touch of hops and a crisp mouthfeel but the sweetness is more nougat and not much malt flavor to the sweetness. The watery and sulfur taste also get in the way.

3.45/5 rDev -2%
A - This clear and vibrant gold brew has the look of your average macro lager. The head is small but persistent, and a little bit of foamy lace is left on the glass. This looks pretty damn unimpressive.
S - Ahh. So its not a macro lager after all. Denser malt and some pilsener-like saltiness are very subdued, but pleasant enough.
T - Light grainy malts and a hint of noble hops. To me, this tastes like a subdued German pils or something. This is pretty weak at first, but the finish builds on the hop tang with some almost lemon-like flavors.
M - Light bodied, slightly creamy, and moderately carbonated. This is MUCH less fizzy than BMC stuff, however. The alcohol is detectable, but not invasive. This has an almost silky lightness on the palate that is sort of creamy, but without the weight of beers that I would usually describe as such.
D - This is an easily quaffable brew, but I don't understand the relatively high rating that this has been receiving. To me it falls into a similar flavor profile as a lot of Japanese or Mediterranean lager. Definitely head and shoulders above BMC, but still a pretty basic beer. The good part is that I could drink about a million of these without really thinking about it.

12oz twist off bottle, mini jar "tasting glass", best by 07/01/10.
Beer a yellow several shades darker than most lagers. I didn't rouse much head on my pour but it was a bit on the gentle side. What foam there is, is of purest white.
Leafy green hops and a sweet mustiness greet the nose. Sweet corny and pils malt.
Plenty of residual sweetness for a lager in the same corny and malty way. It has a good crisp quality and the finish is a combination of noble hops and peppery alcohol. The name of this game is balance between sweet malt, crisp yeast, and spice.
Crisp and a bit bubbly and could even be more so.
This sure goes down simply enough. I think that this is the weakest Boulevard seasonal of Nutcracker, Irish Ale, and this here maibock.

Clean golden-amber in color, with an attractive head of off-white carbonation. Lacing seems light.
Nose is toasty and bready, like an amber or lager.
Taste is sweetly malty, with a crispy orange/lemon citrus zing at the finish. The overall effect, though is sweet and malty, rather than hoppy. A decent brew, but not a favorite.

My neighbor loves the Boulevard Brewing Co...and I am the lucky recipient of the many tasty brews he has brought back with him from his travels. The Boss Tom is another fine output by this amazing brewer. The color was golden clear with white foam and decent carbonation. the nose was not much....grain mostly. The taste however was well balanced...not much grain coming to the forefront. Very smooth and drinkable. Abosolutely give this one a try.

3.48/5 rDev -1.1%
A: Clear and dark golden hue with a minimal fizzy head that dissipates to nothing; lacing is nearly non-existent
S: Fairly subdued with mostly a toasty, biscuity malt presence; a subtle lemon and tea leaf hop undertone
T: Malty, toasty, and bready up front; a touch of citrus in the back end but mostly bread, toffee, caramel, and more bread
F: A bit thin but beer does cling to the roof of the mouth quite well and the beer ends with fairly decent feel throughout
O: This is a decent, easy drinking, bready bock; nothing phenomenal here but a nice lager nonetheless

While Randy Lerner's sale of the Cleveland Browns to Jimmy Haslam is not yet official, it's becoming quite clear that everyone expects the deal to go through without issue. Furthermore, we now know that former Philadelphia Eagles President Joe Banner is a part of Haslam's ownership group.
What does that mean for the Cleveland Browns? Well, it's possible that Banner just wants to be a part of the ownership group and is done overseeing football operations. But that seems highly unlikely. Most observers fully expect Banner to take up the role currently being held by Mike Holmgren. For Holmgren, the writing is on the wall. It would be stunning to see Holmgren hang onto his job once Banner gets into town. [Read more...]

The Rocky Mountain Climate Organization, a new nonprofit in Colorado, is taking a backyard approach to the global problem of climate change. "Our main thrust is what (global warming) can mean right here, and that is more drought, more fire, and less biodiversity," says founder Stephen Saunders, a 30-year Colorado resident. "It's threatening what makes this such a special place to live."
Saunders, a former deputy
assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, has
recruited a diverse set of partners: the cities of Denver, Fort
Collins, Boulder and Aspen; Denver Water; the Aspen Skiing Company;
The Nature Conservancy of Colorado; and several other businesses
and organizations. Saunders hopes these partners will speak
"credibly and with authority" about the impacts of climate change
on the state and region.
The organization, which is
raising funds from individuals and foundations, will advocate
private and collective actions such as energy conservation and use
of clean energy sources. "Everybody who's an energy user
needs to think about how to better meet their energy needs," says
Saunders. The organization's municipal partners have already
pledged to reduce or slow their carbon dioxide emissions through a
national program called Cities for Climate Protection.

RE "For Boston's pupils, a lost opportunity" (Op-ed, Feb. 23): Twenty years ago Lawrence Harmon's book "The Death of An American Jewish Community" demonstrated a nuanced and empirical understanding of the devastating consequences of residential segregation along racial lines. Harmon seems to have forsaken those lessons.
One consequence of Boston's longtime residential segregation is the unequal distribution of quality schools, with the lowest-performing schools unevenly concentrated in high-poverty neighborhoods of color. Yet Harmon would restrict Boston's children to schools closest to home, without regard for quality, in the assignment process.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - For the first time in 45 years, Coeur d'Alene crowned a new Diamond Cup Champion and it just happens to be one of the hottest drivers in the sport. Jimmy Shane, driving the #5 Graham Trucking boat, leapfrogged the Kip Brown's 95 Spirit of Qatar at the start and held off J. Michael Kelly's 37 Miss Beacon Plumbing to win the H1 Unlimited final.
The win marks back to back victories for the Maryland native, who took first place at Seafair in Seattle and now is in a virtual heat for the points championship. Shane (8,952 season points) trails frontrunner Steve David (8,952 points) by just 43 points heading into the final race of the season, September 13-15 at San Diego's Bayfair.
Shane was the top qualifier after Friday, marking the first time the Graham Trucking has ever been the top qualifier.

Jennifer L. Airey
Associate Professor of EnglishZink Hall 340(918) firstname.lastname@example.com
I specialize in Restoration and eighteenth-century British literature, with an emphasis on Restoration drama and theater history. My research concentrates on depictions of gender and sexuality, both on-stage and in Restoration culture, and I am particularly interested in interrogating the relationship between extra-literary sources--propaganda pamphlets, circulating broadsides, and popular sermons--and the British stage. My book, The Politics of Rape: Sexual Atrocity, Propaganda Wars, and the Restoration Stage, is forthcoming from the University of Delaware Press, and is the first full-length study of representations of sexual violence in Restoration theater and political culture. The study offers an intensive look at seventeenth-century propaganda, gathering together a wealth of understudied pamphlet texts, and identifying a series of stock figures that recur throughout the century: The demonic Irishman, sexually violent villain of the 1641 Irish Rebellion tracts; the debauched Cavalier, the secretly Catholic royalist rapist; the poisonous Catholic bride, the malignant consort who encourages the rapes of Protestant women; the cannibal father, the evil patriarch who rapes his daughters-in-laws before ingesting his own sons as a symbol of monarchical overreach; and the ravished monarch, the male rape victim whose sexual violation protests his political disenfranchisement. The study then traces the appearance of these figures on the British stage, examining well-known works by Dryden, Rochester, Behn, Lee, and Shadwell, alongside lesser-known plays by Orrery, Howard, Settle, Crowne, Ravenscroft, Pix, Cibber, and Brady. I am currently at work on a new book project, examining treatments of gender and class violence in Gothic drama of the late eighteenth century.

PARK TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) - A small memorial is now set up on Ottawa Beach Road across from the Itty Bitty Bar, where Joshua Owens died.
One of the suspects allegedly involved in the hit and run had a number of driving license suspensions, and on Facebook states how much he likes to drink. However, at this point, neither suspect has been charged with drinking and driving.
A small memorial across the street from the bar tells a big story about the victim, 24-year-old Joshua Owens, a family man and a proud American. Even strangers are paying attention to it.
"I don't know the guy, but my heart goes out to whoever he was," says Calvin Lyons.
"It's extremely tragic for this family, a wife and young child who will grow up without a father," says Lt. Steve Kempker with the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department.
Owens was hit and killed while crossing the street from the Itty Bitty Bar early on Sunday morning.
"Hewas celebrating his wife's birthday," says Lt. Kempker."He wanted to go to anATM to withdraw cash."
Investigators say the two cars involved took off, but tips started pouring in.
"People were posting on facebook, others were out looking for the vehicles," says Lt. Kempker.
It was also a stranger, a pizza delivery man, who helped investigators make an arrest.
"Hewas driving around subdivisions and came across the two cars," says Lt. Kempker.
About ten hours later, 22-year-old Maly Phongsavanh and 26-year-old Jeremie Collins were arrested. They are currently charged with "failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing death," which is a felony. They are not charged with drunk driving, and investigators say that charge would be hard to prove considering the time between the accident and the drivers'arrests.
On Friday, Collins posted a message on his Facebook page: "Drunk forever." An earlier post on his page stated, "I love third shift because I have all day Friday to drink."
Collins' driving record, according the Michigan secretary of state's office,also showshis drivers license was suspended several times between 2007 and 2012 -- including once for drunk driving in 2009.
Phongsavanh also has a record. In 2009, she was cited as a minor in possession of alcohol.
If Collins and Phongsavanh are convicted on the "failing to stop" charge, they could face up to five years in prison.

Over the years, I've seen a handful of natural conditions repeat themselves in various locations around the world, and whether it's a current overfall in the Sulu Sea, a nine-knot ebb in Australia's Dundas Strait, or an avalanche of wave energy unleashed by Africa's infamous Agulhas Current, knowing what to expect helps you to prepare for similar encounters. And both taking advantage of them and avoiding their effects go hand-in-hand with sound seamanship.
First off, consider ocean currents and the sea floor. Littoral currents are wind- and wave-driven sand-transport systems that scour every coastline. Along the New South Wales coast of Australia, shallow water and a tenacious down-coast current can cause northbound sailors to take note of the relationship between the sea and the seabed. In this region, the friction between moving water and a shallow bottom diminishes the drift. The sandy bottom also weakens the current by sapping energy as tons of sediment is lifted and carried down coast. Savvy Aussie sailors take advantage of this region of diminished current and sail with "one foot on the beach." Doing so overnight is far too anxiety provoking for most cruisers headed north toward the Great Barrier Reef, and a tack offshore with a dawn return toward shallower water seems to make more sense. At least that's what I thought some years ago during a passage I made from Sydney to the reef.
At dusk, we headed offshore, beating into a head wind and a significant down-coast current. Staying clear of land during the darkness and returning on the opposite tack the next morning, I was dismayed to see the same lighthouse that we'd bid farewell to the previous evening. The name of the headland was Tacking Point, and once again Aussie humor had prevailed. That day, "one foot on the beach sailing" was a lesson learned!
And today I cope with such situations, whether in Australia, Baja, or just off the New Jersey coastline, by short-tacking in shallower water with appropriate caution devoted to good navigation and a perpetual stare at the depth sounder. Another alternative is to motorsail to weather while staying well inshore and capitalize on the lighter breezes of early morning. Best of all is the cruiser's prerogative to change plans, visit a new port, and wait for a favorable wind shift or tide.
Safety and Deep Water
A westward passage across the Indian Ocean can be much like the month of March, starting out a lamb and winding up more like an angry lion. Not only is arrival in Durban, South Africa, often punctuated with rough squally weather; the final hurdle to be crossed is the powerful Agulhas Current, a south-setting gyre that can make the Gulf Stream seem benign. Part of its bad reputation stems from the funnel-like effect caused by a confluence of the Natal Basin, Mozambique Ridge, and the continental slope of Africa.
During a passage from Mauritius to Durban, we had the good luck of being at the tail end of a small fleet of cruising boats separated by about 150 miles. A nasty gale developed, and we found ourselves safely ensconced in, ironically, the worst part of the storm. Friends farther ahead saw a little less wind and higher pressure readings, but they were caught in the grasp of the Agulhas Current, and treacherous opposing wind and sea conditions rolled and dismasted two of the boats. We hove to in mountainous swells and howling wind, but the deep ocean basin and the absence of current keep the waves from becoming steep and unstable. From that experience, I should've learned to steer clear of powerful currents when bad weather is in the picture, but it'd take another encounter, much closer to home, to drive home that golden rule.
The second lesson came with a foolish sprint from Florida to the Bahamas and a race against a fast-moving cold front that was forecast to cross southern Florida within 24 hours. We departed with the wind already veering south and trending southwest, a sure sign of the approaching front. The Gulf Steam and wind were running in the same direction, and Wind Shadow, our Ericson 41, was going north about as fast as she was going east. It was during this passage that I learned firsthand what a "pre-frontal-trough" is all about.
In essence, it's a dense band of torturous thunderstorms that are often more violent than what's found in the cold front itself. But on this particular night, the cold front around 0200 proved to be just as nasty. The only wise decision I made was an early swap of the double-reefed main and staysail for a storm trysail and storm jib. When the northerly wind shift finally slammed through and the wind-on-sea effect began to take hold, we hove to in a fierce tempest, this time not off the Cape of Good Hope but embarrassingly close to Palm Beach.
Monday-morning quarterbacking showed that the vigorous winter cold front and a midlevel trough had teamed up to turbocharge the Gulf Stream squalls. By early morning the next day, we'd ridden Benjamin Franklin's "river in the sea" to the north end of the Little Bahama Bank. We learned an important lesson about racing a cold front across the Gulf Stream: it's a shaky gamble with a big downside.
Capes and Shoals
Several round-the-world voyagers have found worse conditions rounding Cape Hatteras than they've encountered rounding Cape Horn. There's even a fleet of Volvo Ocean racers who'd echo that opinion. The region can be justifiably called a confluence of woe. It's a part of the ocean where coastal lows deepen rapidly and the heat energy of the Gulf Stream actually moves quite close to the shore. Add to this a labyrinth of shallow sand shoals projecting well out into the Atlantic, and it's easy to see why when bad weather stalks Cape Hatteras, the deck is stacked against those caught in the shuffle.

- Wonderful resource Review by Megan
I love this! What a wonderful resource to have - with so many options it is easy to create something that fits just right. I also love the sections that explain how you can take a simple sweater pattern and expand it to include cables, fair isle designs etc. - inspirational. Knitting sweaters that require minimal finishing off is an added bonus!

- Lots Of Options Review by Rhonda Dohna
I own this book in paper and find it very useful. When I saw the ebook version, I had to get it. It displays nicely and appears to have all the info the paper book does. I have not checked it page for page, but all the charts, reference material, and patterns seem to be the same. I love all the options for making different sweaters in different sizes and guages. And I use it often!

The Detroit Lions will have tight end Tony Scheffler back after a one-week absence. Scheffler had a concussion in Week 5's matchup against the Chicago Bears after Brian Urlacher delivered a hard hit. After sitting out last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Scheffler didn't practice on Wednesday. He was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday and is probable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Scheffler hasn't been a fantasy factor at all this season. He has just four catches for 63 yards in five games. However, two of those catches helped fantasy owners as they wound up in the end zone. Brandon Pettigrew will continue to be the main target at tight end for Matthew Stafford.

A fight between two groups of men ended with three of the men stabbed at a Queens subway station platform Monday afternoon, police said.
The fight happened at the Jamaica Center-Parsons Archer station in Jamaica at about 4 p.m., the FDNY said.
At least two men were stabbed in the stomach and one in the leg, police said.
The suspects fled into the subway system and got away, police said.
The NYPD initiated what is called a Level 1 mobilization -- the borough task force responds to help in the search of the suspects.
Northbound J trains are terminating at Sutphin Blvd-Archer Avenue and 121 Street and eastbound E trains are suspended from Jamaica Van Wyck, the MTA said.

Pacific Laser Systems
The framing crew I run has long used a PLS5 for layout. Its five beams appear as dots and allow the user to shoot plumb, level, and square. A few months ago, JLC sent us a new PLS laser to test — the PLS90E. Unlike the older tool, which is a general-purpose layout laser, the PLS90E is designed specifically for laying out square. It doesn't shoot level and can't be used as a plumb bob.
However, it does do something other lasers can't: It shoots a pair of beams that fan out to form vertical planes of light exactly 90 degrees apart, with enough spread to project square layout onto flat and sloped surfaces. (This tool should not be confused with flooring layout lasers, which work only on flat surfaces and are not designed for outdoor use.)
The first thing I noticed when I opened the box and turned on the PLS90E was how bright the laser lines were: They're easily visible indoors. Next I noticed that the beams project above and below the horizon — or plane — the laser is set on; this means we can do square layout without plumbing down from horizontal beams as we have to do with the PLS5 (see "Framing the First Floor Deck," 12/06).
The PLS90E kit contains a universal base, a floor target, a detector (so you can use the laser outdoors), and a case. Some online vendors throw in a tripod.
Provided that it's positioned within 6 degrees of level, the PLS90E is self-leveling. A plumb beam projects down from the bottom of the unit when it's on; this beam is used to align the tool over the corner of the 90-degree angle that's being laid out. The laser can be used with or without the universal base, which can be placed on a flat surface or attached to formwork or batter boards with a built-in clamp. It can also be placed on a surveyor's tripod: If the top of the tripod is set close to level, the plumb beam can project through the hollow fastening nut. (A photography tripod won't work because there's no hole for the down beam to go through.)
The first step in establishing accurate layout is to create a reference line. If we did earthwork or formed footings, the reference lines would be represented by nail heads in stakes driven into the ground, or by marks on batter boards. Since we're framers, we snap our reference lines onto flat surfaces like foundation walls, slabs, and floor decks. I like to snap the longest straight wall and then align one beam of the laser to that.
The PLS90E projects a pair of beams that fan out to form vertical planes of laser light exactly 90 degrees apart.
Since the beams are plumb, the lines up the walls are plumb and the lines on the ceiling are directly over the lines on the floor.
With most lasers, aligning the beam with an existing line is easier said than done. If the wall is long, moving the laser just a little bit at one end moves the beam a lot at the other. For example, if you want to move the beam 1/16 inch from 50 feet away, you've got rotate the laser some tiny fraction of a degree; it's easy to overshoot the mark.
With the PLS90E, we don't have this problem because there is a fine-adjustment dial — a thumb-wheel — on the back. Turn the wheel, and the beams — which remain 90 degrees apart — rotate on a vertical axis. It's easier and much more precise than rotating the unit itself.
Once we have one beam aligned with our snapped line, getting square layout is simply a matter of marking where the other beam hits the surface and then snapping through to the corner mark. That's easier than what we do with the PLS5; its down beam is an inch forward of the side beams. If we align the PLS5's down beam with the corner point and mark where the side beams pass over the surface, we have to remember to shift the line an inch forward from the marks. Making that shift isn't rocket science, but every now and again someone forgets to do it and then the layout is wrong.
When the new PLS tool arrived, we were just getting ready to lay out the sills on a foundation that stepped down a hill. Laying out a line on a wall that steps down is a hassle. In the past, we projected a horizontal laser beam above the wall, held a level so that the beam clipped the edge of it, and then plumbed down to the wall — a time-consuming task that required two carpenters.
Now we can put the PLS90E on a tripod where two walls meet, align one beam with a line on the level wall, and project a perpendicular line onto the tops of the steps in the wall on the hill. The steps may partially block the beam, but if the tripod is high enough it will hit enough of each step that we can finish the line by plumbing down the faces and connecting the dots. It's a one-man job and a lot faster than creating a line by plumbing down from a beam.
It's also possible to lay out from the downhill side. In that case, the beam will run in a continuous line up the first few steps, but it will hit only the faces of steps above the height of the tripod. To complete the line, the operator must plumb the rest of the way down the faces and snap lines between the outside and inside corners.
If we did our own formwork, there's no reason we couldn't use the PLS90E to produce square layout for excavations and footings. One of the major selling points of this tool is that it can project square layout onto any surface — including dirt on a sloping grade.
Seeing laser beams is difficult when you're working outdoors. That's why this laser comes with a detector, which beeps when hit by the beam. You can also turn off the sound and view the arrows in the display, which get bigger or smaller depending on whether you're moving the detector in the right or wrong direction.
Together, the detector and the laser's adjustment dial make it possible for just one person to align the tool with an existing line: First, the operator centers the detector on the line at the far end of the wall; then he places the laser over the corner point at the near end; and finally he aims the beam so that it hits the detector dead-center. The detector's beep tones indicate whether the beam is getting closer or farther away, or is perfectly aligned. If the wall is long, hitting dead-center may take some tweaking, which is where the fine-adjustment dial comes in; it moves the beam in very small increments.
By the way, the detector is very loud at full volume. This is good when you want to hear it from a long distance, but can be ear-shattering if you work right next to it without hearing protection. Fortunately, a button on the unit allows you to adjust or mute the volume.
The user aligns the beam that projects from the bottom of the unit over the corner of the 90-degree angle he's laying out.
When the PLS90E is attached to a surveyor's tripod, the down beam has a clear shot to the ground through the hollow fastening nut in the top of the tripod.
The beams that come out of the PLS90E are plumb, so in addition to using the tool for square layout we can also use it to shoot one line on the floor and another directly above it on the ceiling. That's helpful when we're framing partitions: We can fasten the bottom plate to the line on the floor and the top plate to the line on the ceiling, and we know the wall is plumb.
You can also use this tool to lay plumb lines up a wall.
An electronic detector helps users find the beam in bright sunlight.
Whether the tool is right for you depends on the kind of work you do and what lasers you already own. If you spend a lot of time doing square layout outdoors and need to project a laser up and down grades, I'd say the PLS90E is worth the $550 price tag.
But since it can't shoot level and isn't the best tool for shooting plumb, you'd still need another laser for those functions. Our crew has a rotary laser that we use exclusively for projecting level lines, and we continue to use our PLS5 for plumb and level.
We lay out square with our new PLS90E. We figure it'll pay for itself by increasing the speed and accuracy of our layout.
Multifaceted. The Charge AL from Leatherman packs eight tools plus a pair of multifunction pliers. The clip-point and serrated blades, saw, and diamond-coated file can be used without opening the tool body; the screwdrivers, scissors, and combination bottle/can opener are tucked inside the handles. The product costs about $100. Leatherman, 800/847-8665, www.leatherman.com
Quick Assist. I've kept a SOG Flash in my pocket for several years now. It's amazingly sharp and has a reversible clip that keeps it secure and within reach at all times. My favorite feature is the mechanically assisted blade, which opens very quickly — hence the name. It comes in two sizes and numerous blade and handle styles. Prices start at $55 for the 2 1/2-inch-blade Flash I, and at $72 for the 3 1/2-inch-blade Flash II. SOG, 888/405-6433, www.sogknives.com
Keep Sharp. Few things are as frustrating as trying to cut with a dull edge. The FastCap TriBlade utility knife uses breakaway segmented blades, so getting a fresh edge is fast and easy. Two extra blades store in its rubber-gripped handle. Best of all, this knife's a bargain: You can get one with 10 extra blades for about $5 on the Web. FastCap, 888/443-3748, www.fastcap.com
Little Loader. Navigating around a tight urban or suburban lot in a piece of heavy machinery is tough — and no one wants to see the landscaping torn up, either. That's why walk-behind loaders like Bobcat's MT52 are becoming so popular. This relatively small machine can do many of the same tasks as its larger brethren, but requires a fraction of the space and exerts minimal ground pressure (5.2 pounds per square inch). Prices start at around $17,600. Bobcat, 701/241-8700, www.bobcat.com
Multiple Attachments. While a loader/backhoe is already one of the most versatile pieces of heavy equipment you can buy, a three-point hitch increases its utility even further. The diesel-powered 26-hp, four-wheel-drive B26 TLB from Kubota has a 1,300-pound-capacity loader and a backhoe that can dig to nearly 8 1/2 feet. A conventional three-point hitch accommodates such varied attachments as box graders, chipper-shredders, mowers, and snow blowers. Prices start at around $30,000. Kubota, www.kubota.com

Organic Garden Club
Organic foods and organic practices are receiving quite a lot of attention lately. I know I can't walk down the grocery store without seeing organic labels on food as well as advertising for "going organic" everywhere. Maybe you have no idea what being organic means and are interested in finding out, or maybe you already are an organic eater and want to spread awareness to others. Either way, those of you interested in eating organic or learning more about what it means to eat organically, this organization at UNH deserves your attention.
For those of you who do not know what the Organic Garden Club is, it is part of the Food and Society Initiative of the UNH Sustainability Academy. The OGC is not necessary a "UNH program" in the sense that UNH staff does not run it; it is a student run organization. Their goal is to find ways to spread sustainability to the UNH campus, students, staff and more. Not only are they involved with growing organic foods, but they are involved with the process of why things are organic and how they come to be organic. OGC has won multiple recognitions and awards for their work. In 2007, they won Student Organization of the year! If this post has sparked your interest, this is a great group to get involved with!
Organic Garden Club
This looks like so much fun! Something different to do on campus! I would love to learn more about it!

Area schools start classes back this week and next. For both students and educators, the new year brings many challenges.
Editor, I would like to personally thank Fort Stewart EFMP, Reaching Milestones and all the wonderful military and civilian volunteers who came out to support our annual Special Olympics Spring Games. The competition would not have been successful without such tremendous support from the Hinesville and Fort Stewart community.
The U.S. Senate race this November between Democrat Michelle Nunn and Republican David Perdue will be one of the more unusual campaigns we have witnessed in Georgia. Neither has held public office, and both are anxious to portray themselves as the ultimate "outsider."
Editor, I would like to express my thanks and gratitude for the great job that Vicki Davis did when employed as the executive director of the Hinesville Downtown Development Authority. The seven years that she gave to our community opened many doors of opportunity to the Liberty County Community and Area Mass Choir.
One Sunday, while sitting around the dinner table, my sister Louise and I began to tell "Daddy stories" - the ones that stretched back to the early days of his preaching life. Since I was born 12 years after he was "made a preacher," as our folks said back then, I could only contribute what he had told to me about those days, not what I had seen.
Right after my daughter's birth, I thought I never had enough time to get things done. I had a new baby, I'd just returned to work and I was adjusting to a lot of "firsts." While I enjoyed my precious, new little one and devoted as much time as I possibly could to my career, laundry stacked up, dishes went unwashed, tumbleweeds of dog hair and dust rolled lazily across the kitchen floor and a thin layer of dust coated nearly every surface in my house.
Today's Scripture reading: Acts 19: 11-16 (NIV).
Are you HomeProud? Thankfully, many homeowners in our community are, and we are delighted to showcase a few of them this month.
Some national business organizations have hammered the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for proposing new rules on carbon pollution from existing power plants, cutting carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2030, using 2005 levels as a baseline. What planet are they on?
If Congress actually listened to small-business owners, the minimum wage would be going up.
As far back as 2010, the Ogeechee River has been called one of the most threatened rivers in the country by environmental groups such as the Southeast Environmental Law Center.
Editor, I never would have thought a small block of wood measuring about 1.5 inches by 2 inches could make me so angry.
In 1997, then-Gov. Zell Miller appointed me to fill a vacant seat on the five-member State Ethics Commission and then reappointed me to a full term, in which I served until 2002.
To this conclusion I have come: the most deadly years of our lives are the ages of 16 to 21. Those years give us a headiness that comes from new freedom - a driver's license - and the passing of the torch from strict childhood rules to more trust, different restraints and relaxed curfews.
Editor, Mexico and Guatemala have finalized a deal that will allow Guatemalans (who normally would be arrested and deported or imprisoned in Mexico) to travel on 72-hour passes through Mexico on their way to our Southern border.
MOULTRIE - The first item in my emails today was: "How to get thin quickly."
Our veterans shouldn't need an act of Congress and a presidential signature to get the Veterans Affairs healthcare system up to speed. But that's just what it took.
Whistleblowers, often revered and feared by the Obama administration, have received a special place since the 2011 initiation of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a global transparency campaign. Their prominence is justified. The OGP will become a magnet for cynicism unless there is safe cover for those who will make it work or fail - whistleblowers on the front lines of fraud, waste and abuse currently sustained through secrecy and enforced by repression.
According to the Federal Register, on Dec. 7, 2009, the Environmental Protection Agency "found" that current and projected concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations. Unfortunately, this finding and the EPA's subsequent action threaten the health and welfare of current and future generations of Georgians far more than greenhouse gases do.
Just when you thought Washington couldn't get any messier, our elected officials in the nation's capital prove it can.
Dear Georgia public-school teachers, It is new school year but, alas, the same old impediments: an out-of-touch federal bureaucracy, ideological state legislators who choose not to send their kids to public schools but intend to tell you how and what to teach, and a society that values reality television more than quality education. Sometimes, I wonder how you manage.
This week, school bells will ring and the 2014-15 academic year will begin. Some children welcome it, others don't. Parents also likely have mixed feelings about the start of another term.
How do you create positive community change? That is a good question. It is one that the national organization, Keep America Beautiful, has been fine-tuning a solution since the 1950s.
Some missing something or the other required me to prowl through closets at Mama's house. That's when I found it. I pulled it out and smiled broadly, warmed by the memories it evoked.
Editor, According to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, our water source is slowly being polluted with saltwater, and the coastal area of Georgia will have to reduce the amount of water that it pulls from the Floridan aquifer by 17 million gallons a day.
It's depressing to read poll after poll highlighting Americans' utter disdain for Congress. But it's my encounters with ordinary citizens at public meetings or in casual conversation that really bring me up short.

Pennies of Promise - Keep the Children Safe!
In a small town in West Virginia, an elementary school called Marsh Fork exists. It is downriver from a massive coal mining operation, and toxins in the air and water are making the students extremely sick. The West Virginia government has refused to build a new elementary school in a safer location. The community, afraid for its children's lives, began the organization Pennies of Promise to raise the funds themselves.

We boarded the ship around 12:00. We breezed on board within minutes. The porters at the pier were great, the check in person was great and very friendly.
On board
The ship is still in great shape, but the reason why my wife and I continually return to Holland America Line is the crew. Very friendly, professional and LOTS of smiles.
I would avoid N8141. It is near the back of the ship and you can feel the rockin and rollin pretty bad back their. The cabin is nice though.
The food was great as always. Larger portions would be appreciated though.
On a scale of 1 to 10 it's a 20. Everyone was VERY friendly and helpful.
Computer Classes
Craig the "techspert" was very patient and kind to the attendees.
We have known DJ Jazzy for many years. He continues to bring excitement and many laughs. This is the first time we met Cruise Director J.T., but he is very nice, talented and professional.
We had to skip Grand Turk due to high winds. We were VERY disappointed as this is one of our favorite ports of call. The other ports were good, but stay away from Megan's Bay in St. Thomas. VERY crowded.
I highly recommend Holland America Line and the Eurodam.

From a tiny, vulnerable island off the Louisiana coast to the beaches of the Florida Panhandle, Gulf Coast residents prepared Thursday for a possible hit from Tropical Storm Karen, which threatened to become the first named tropical system to menace the United States this year.
Karen was forecast to lash the northern Gulf Coast over the weekend as a weak hurricane or tropical storm. A hurricane watch was in effect from Grand Isle, La., to west of Destin, Fla. A tropical storm warning was issued for the Louisiana coast from Grand Isle to the mouth of the Pearl River, including the New Orleans area.
In Alabama, safety workers hoisted double red flags at Gulf Shores because of treacherous rip currents ahead of the storm.
In Mississippi, Gov. Phil Bryant declared a state of emergency, urging residents to prepare. State Emergency Management Agency Director Robert Latham said local schools will decide whether to play football games. He said the southern part of the state could have tropical storm-force winds by late Friday.
"I know that Friday night football in the South is a big thing, but I don't think anybody wants to risk a life because of the potential winds," Latham said.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal also declared a state of emergency, citing the possibility of high winds, heavy rain and tides. Florida Gov. Rick Scott also declared an emergency for 18 counties.
The Army Corps of Engineers said it was closing a structure intended to keep storm surge out of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal in Louisiana -- known locally as the Industrial Canal -- where levee breaches during Hurricane Katrina led to catastrophic flooding in 2005.
Mayor David Camardelle of Grand Isle, La., an inhabited barrier island and tourist town about 60 miles south of New Orleans, called for voluntary evacuations as he declared an emergency Thursday afternoon.
Louisiana officials were taking precautions while noting that forecasts show the storm veering to the east. The storm track had it likely brushing the southeastern tip of the state before heading toward the Alabama-Florida coast. And it was moving faster than last year's Hurricane Isaac, a weak storm that stalled over the area and caused widespread flooding.
"It should make that fork right and move out very, very quickly," said Jerry Sneed, head of New Orleans' emergency preparedness office.
Offshore, at least two oil companies said they were evacuating non-essential personnel and securing rigs and platforms.
In Washington, the White House said the Federal Emergency Management Agency was recalling some workers furloughed due to the government shutdown to prepare for the storm.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack Obama was being updated about the storm. He said Obama directed his team to ensure staffing and resources are available to respond to the storm.
Hundreds of thousands of federal workers have been furloughed under the partial government shutdown. It's unclear how many FEMA workers are being brought back.

A growing number of Iraqi boys are joining the commercial sex trade — some forced to do so by gangs, some out of poverty in a country where official government figures for youth unemployment at 48 % — although the real figure is undoubtedly much higher –according to a report from the UN Office of Humanitarian Affairs' Integrated Regional Information Network (IRIN). One boy whose story was told in the report was "Hassan Feiraz, a 16-year-old boy, has started a desperate new life since being forced into the sex trade in Baghdad, joining a growing number of adolescents soliciting in Iraq under the threat of street gangs or the force of poverty.
"Every day I cry at night,†Feiraz said. "I'm a homosexual and was forced to work as a prostitute because one of the people I had sex with took pictures of me in bed and said that, if I didn't work for him, he was going to send the pictures to my family. My life is a disaster today. I could be killed by my family to restore their honour,†he said, explaining that homosexuality was totally unacceptable in Iraq due to religious beliefs.
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of youths engaged in the commercial sex trade since the fall of Saddam Hussein, according to this report, which attributes the Increase to "economic pressure faced by families countrywide and the presence of new prostitution rings that have sprung up since the invasion. With society in turmoil and a raft of other serious issues to address, child protection has not been uppermost in the priorities of the transitional government. The gangs use money or threats to get teenage boys to work for them, officials said."
"Many of us are working under threat, but others are there because they don'
t know how to survive and found it as an easy way of getting money,†Feiraz said. "Someone should help free us from these criminals.â€
So-called "honor killings" of gay youth are endorsed by many Iraqi religious leaders. "Sheikh Hussein Salah, one of the heads of the Shi'ite Muslim community in Iraq, told IRIN in Baghdad that the families of those boys engaged in homosexual practices should 'kill them', whether the situation was forced on them or they entered into it freely. During Saddam Hussein's regime, Salah said, homosexuality was illegal and homosexual practices were punishable by death. 'We hope that this will be applied under the new constitution,' he added.
"Some Baghdadi families said they have stopped their children from going to school or university for fear that they would be lured into the unacceptable trade. 'If I found that my son was doing something like that, I would kill him straight away, because it is an offence to our God and a crime against our honour,' Kudaifa Abdul Lateff, father of three teenagers said. 'Homosexuals are nothing more than animals.'"
The IRIN report says there are only two small local NGOs trying to help the child sex workers. "On of them, Iraqi Peace and Better Future (IPBF), has collected the names of more than 50 teenage boys who say they cannot leave the trade because of threats. Few cases have been resolved, however. 'We have been trying to do our best in taking those unlucky boys and girls from the streets of the capital,†said Abdallah Jassim, spokesman for IPBF. 'But sometimes we are stopped by the gangs, who threaten us. And the government cannot offer us special security on a daily basis.' The Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) is also waiting for approval and funding for a proposed rehabilitation project for teenagers, it said. So far it has had few donors."
"Meanwhile, with few positive prospects in sight, many boys in Baghdad are living in fear, urging that someone, somewhere come up with a solution to their plight. 'I hope that one day I will live without the fear that I may find my father with a gun or a knife ready to kill me because he has discovered what I do for a living,' said Youssef Hatab, a 15 year-old boy."
Where are the voices of the Human Rights Campaign, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and the U.S. commercial gay press demanding that the enrollment by criminal gangs using force and threat of youths into a life of prostitution be ended by U.S. occupying forces? Why haven't our U.S. gay institutions demanded of Washington that it use all its influence to prevent the puppet Iraqi government it finances, and whose strings it pulls behind the scenes, from criminalizing homosexuality? This is part and parcel of the problem I raised in a recent article for Gay City News — that our major gay institutions, by and large, ignore the oppression of same-sexers in other cultures, and flee from helping gay youth either at home or abroad for fear of being tarnished with suspicions of pedophilia in the context of the anti-pedop[hile witch-hunts in this country (only heightened by the endless revelations of the sexual exploitation of children by the hypocritical, conservative closet cases of the Catholic Church). This silence, this ostrich-like attitude, is shameful — something we should remember while this year's celebrations of "Gay Pride" are still ringing in our ears.

Congratulations from BallinEurope go out this morning to Ang Lee, Quentin Tarantino, Christoph Waltz, Daniel Day-Lewis, the Argo team, Jennifer Lawrence (swoon) and the other winners of Academy Awards last night. And now, it's decision time here.
The annual bestowing of BallinEurope's Oscar (Robertson) Awards for basketball excellence in 2012 has seen Thunderstruck, The Dream Team and The Harlem Globetrotters take awards in their individual categories, leaving the prize for "Best Full-Length Documentary" still to be awarded — and lemme tell ya, BiE has spent way too much time thinking it over this weekend.
The no-brainer nominee (and well worthy) is the long-awaited The Other Dream Team, which was finally released in 2012 after more than two years of buildup and production. And damn, was it worth the wait.
For those somehow not in the know on this film, The Other Dream Team tells the story of the 1992 Lithuanian men's basketball team, a squad essentially assembled from scratch, rather like its home nation itself in the wake of the Soviet Union's collapse. As with their Team USA counterparts in that fateful year (not to mention the silver-winning Croatia and even the fourth-place "Unified Team"), the scope of Team Lithuania's story is huge. Unlike The Dream Team's run to immortality in Barcelona, though, this team's podium finish carried all the weight of history with more than a touch of good-humored wackiness.

The Weight-loss Myths You Thought Were True
By Jim Karas
Special Offers
I've been in the weight-loss field for over 15 years and not a day goes by when I'm not asked a question about weight loss. Most of these questions deal with eight common weight-loss myths. Here are the myths and the real truth:
1. Your genes determine your metabolism and body weight.
I've heard thousands of people say they can't drop pounds because their weight is genetically predetermined. Do you know what percentage of your body weight is truly determined by your genes? Only 25 percent the rest is determined by your behavior. Please believe me: At any time in life, you can drastically change your body weight by combining low-calorie eating and exercise. You can increase your metabolism at any age by performing strength-and-resistance exercises. If you don't believe me, ask the experts at Tufts University. In one case study, they found that individuals in their 90s who strength-trained three times a week for eight weeks increased their strength by 300 percent. No, that is not a typo. Individuals in their 90s increased their strength by 300 percent. If you increase your strength, you're increasing your lean muscle tissue. Increase lean muscle tissue and you increase your metabolism. It's just that simple.
2. By performing strength-and-resistance exercises, women will bulk up.
This is totally untrue. Men have 20 to 30 times the muscle-building potential that women do. This is because of the male hormone testosterone. In all my years offering fitness instruction, I've never witnessed a woman bulking up. On the contrary, those who follow my exercise prescription and perform minimal cardiovascular exercise followed by intelligent strength-and-resistance exercises typically look lean and thin.
3. You can spot-reduce to lose weight.
I've witnessed women performing hundreds, if not thousands, of lunges and squats in a desperate attempt to slim their legs, hips, and gluts. While I love squats and lunges, they don't spot-reduce body fat. On the contrary, the way to achieve leaner legs, if that's where you're carrying your body fat, is to increase your lean muscle tissue throughout your body. By working all your muscles, you increase metabolism. Up your metabolism and exercise caution with your eating, and you'll start looking the way you want to.
But here's one surprising benefit of strength-and-resistance exercise: A study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham showed that women ages 61 to 77 who strength-trained three times a week lost more fat from their midsections than their male workout partners. So, if you are a woman interested in losing fat from the midsection (and by the way, a million crunches will not help you reduce your waist; they will only help strengthen that area), start strength training today. And for those of you under 61, why wait?
4. To build muscle, you should lift heavy weights/Xertubes and perform few repetitions, but to tone a muscle you should perform more repetitions with lighter weights.
The first part of this sentence is true. The way to achieve a toned muscle is to build the muscle and burn the fat. You can do it by lifting heavy weights/Xertubes and performing no more that 10 to 12 repetitions. Lifting lighter weights and doing more repetitions won't do much of anything. You're not stressing the muscle enough to stimulate it to change and grow. Think about all the time you wasted in exercise classes with names like "body sculpting." Those classes urged you to perform dozens if not hundreds of repetitions with light weights. Did anything change on your body? I'll let you be the judge.

Zach Miner, who pitched for four years for the Detroit Tigers before Tommy John surgery in 2010, will join the Philadelphia Phillies on a minor league contract.
General manager Ruben Amaro is excited about the acquisition of Michael Young, a talented veteran who set franchise records for a Texas Rangers team that made World Series appearances in 2010 and...
On Saturday, the Philadelphia Phillies traded for veteran third baseman Michael Young filling a hole at the hot corner. The question: Is Young ready for a bounce-back season or is he on the decline?
CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury notes that the Phillies still have the payroll flexibility to address their top offseason need -- adding a run-producing bat.
After several days of deliberation, Michael Young is expected to approve a trade from the Texas Rangers to the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.
Sam Donnellon of Philly.com argues that the criticisms of Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. are unwarranted. Do you agree?
With the Phillies reportedly in advanced trade talks with the Rangers for Michael Young, it is believed that Philadelphia will have to give up a big-league reliever as part of the deal.
The Phillies traded away Vance Worley and Trevor May to acquire Ben Revere from the Minnesota Twins. CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury explains the move.

The Scout Preview - Gameweek 3
Four teams are looking to maintain their 100% starts to the season as The Scout assesses the upcoming round of fixtures in the Barclays Premier League.
Champions Manchester City welcome Stoke City to the Etihad Stadium as the hosts look to kick on from last week's win over Liverpool. Chelsea face a testing trip to Everton on Saturday evening, Swansea City entertain West Bromwich Albion at the Liberty Stadium, whilst Tottenham Hotspur's strong start under new manager Mauricio Pochettino will come under scrutiny as Liverpool make their way to White Hart Lane.
Elsewhere, promoted Burnley host out-of-sorts Manchester United, Neil Warnock takes his Crystal Palace side away to Newcastle United, while Arsenal travel to Leicester City in the final match of the Gameweek.
Talking tactics
Bojan Krkic was dropped to the bench for Stoke City's first away match of the season last week. One of the most popular budget forwards around, the Spaniard made way for Steve Sidwell as the Potters rolled up to the KC Stadium and, despite the hosts being reduced to 10 men within quarter of an hour, was only introduced on 41 minutes after an injury forced Glenn Whelan out of the proceedings. Mark Hughes is clearly looking to gradually introduce the summer signing into his starting XI, particularly on the road, and with a trip to Manchester City up next, Bojan's 13% of Fantasy owners may be forced to look elsewhere.
A shoulder injury to Kevin Nolan allowed West Ham United's Mauro Zarate his first start of the season last week. Handed a support role behind Carlton Cole, the Argentine dazzled on his debut and was instrumental in a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace, after opening the scoring for the visitors. With Nolan expected to be sidelined for six weeks, Zarate looks set to continue in a central position once again as the Hammers welcome Southampton to Upton Park.
The arrival of Mario Balotelli could result in a change of formation for Liverpool this weekend. Brendan Rodgers has mainly utilised a 4-2-3-1 system this term, with Philippe Coutinho positioned behind Daniel Sturridge up front, but the Reds boss may decide to revert to last season's midfield diamond as he looks to bounce back from Monday's loss to Manchester City. This could allow Balotelli and Sturridge to lead the line, with Raheem Sterling moving from the flank to the tip of the diamond, forcing Coutinho into a more withdrawn berth against Mauricio Pochettino's in-form hosts.
By the numbers
After a couple of appearances for new club Chelsea, the creativity of Cesc Fabregas has already proved significant. The Spaniard, who has provided at least 10 assists in each of his last eight seasons, has already teed up three goals for his team-mates thus far.
With this in mind, The Scout takes a look at some of the Premier League's standout creators over the first couple of Gameweeks, with all of the featured players below having played at least 100 minutes in the first two rounds of fixtures.
|Joey Barton (QPR)
|Eden Hazard (CHE)
|Santi Cazorla (ARS)
|Alexis Sanchez (ARS)
|Cesc Fabregas (CHE)
|Marko Arnautovic (STK)
|Stewart Downing (WHU)
|Remy Cabella (NEW)
|Emmanuel Adebayor (TOT)
|Samir Nasri (MCI)
Joey Barton has provided more chances than any other player in the top-flight so far. The QPR midfielder has teed up a total of 10 goal scoring opportunities, at an average of one every 18.9 minutes, yet some poor finishing from team-mates means he has failed to pick up any assist returns. With home matches against Sunderland and Stoke City in the next three Gameweeks, though, the 5.0-priced Barton could soon be profiting.
Eden Hazard been more creative than team-mate Fabregas without reaping reward. The Belgian has produced nine key passes at an average of 19.8 minutes – quicker than Fabregas' 26.9 minutes, though the Spaniard has chalked up three assists in addition to creating four chances.
Arsenal duo Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez have also been quicker than former Gunners' skipper Fabregas. Both have earned an assist apiece, with Sanchez also creating five opportunities to Cazorla's four – with Aaron Ramsey scoring in each of the first two Gameweeks, though, the former two have suffered a price drop already as Fantasy managers turn to the prolific Welshman instead.
Stoke City's Marko Arnautovic may have failed to pick up any returns so far but the Austrian is showing signs of returning to the form that served up 10 assists last season. The 6.4-priced midfielder has created five chances without success but once this weekend's trip to Manchester City, he has the schedule to finally prosper.
Tottenham's Emmanuel Adebayor is the only forward to feature. Along with Manchester City's Samir Nasri, he has created four chances and picked up a single assist – despite a favourable 8.5 price tag, Adebayor currently sits in just 5% of teams after producing a 12-point return in his previous fixture.
Ones to Watch
Alan Hutton – a peripheral figure for Aston Villa last season, the right-back has grabbed his opportunity with both hands this time round. Available for just 4.1, Hutton has helped Paul Lambert's side register back-to-back clean sheets and his raids down the flank look set to pose visitors Hull City plenty of problems this weekend.
Siem de Jong – back in contention after recovering from a foot problem, the Newcastle United midfielder could be set for his first start at home to Crystal Palace. De Jong has a proven scoring record and netted at least 10 times in four of his last five seasons with Ajax and could be the answer to the Magpies' goal drought.
David Silva – the little Spaniard has been quick to find his form and was amongst the goals in Manchester City's Gameweek 1 win at Newcastle. A plum home clash against travel-sick Stoke now awaits Manuel Pellegrini's side and Silva's twinkling toes could be set to run amok against the Potters' backline.
Mesut Ozil – the German has been mainly overlooked by Fantasy managers so far, with team-mates Aaron Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez proving far more popular picks. The Arsenal playmaker rolls up to Leicester City this Sunday and given that Nigel Pearson's side have conceded over 10 shots per match inside the box, Ozil's creativity could wreak havoc.
Loic Remy – a home clash with Sunderland affords the Frenchman the chance to open his goal account for the season. Remy may have failed to find the net so far but, with seven attempts on goal in his opening couple of appearances, is offering plenty of threat for Harry Redknapp's side.
