The bitter end of this season quickly put me in mock draft mood. Here's what I came up with. All of this will change with the combine and free agency obviously, but it's still fun to do and it prepares me for all of the upcoming AP arguments and debates. The theme in this draft is wide receivers.
I consulted with DraftTek, two CBS Sports mock drafts (I like Rob Rang the best) and their draft prospects list, the ESPN first-round draft list as well as each team's offensive and defensive rankings as well as their depth charts. I apologize this doesn't look as pretty as I would like (I'm using visual view, not HTML).
#1 34OLB Jadeveon Clowney to the Texans ... I don't think the owner is bluffing when he talks about Clowney. He did this once before with Mario Williams. If he wanted teams to trade up, he'd be bragging on a QB. I think the Texans can survive with Keenum or Schaub if he takes a pay cut or gets cut and resigns. Keenum could actually improve significantly in his second year as a starter and they still have Yates, who might develop. The Texans are a run-first team and that's not going to change, so the QB's not a big driver for them. Clowney is one of the few allegedly can't-miss prospects in this draft even though his last year of college production was underwhelming. His only scouting weakness is his lack of strength which any NFL program will significantly improve.

#2 QB Johnny Manziel to the Browns after they trade their second-round pick to the Rams to move up two spots to get in front of the also-QB-needy Jacksonville Jaguars... The very dysfunctional Browns franchise has a lot of needs and they have shown to be very unpredictable - other than they will suck no matter what they do. Even with Hoyer coming back, the word is the Browns have a mistake-by-the-lake-sized hard-on for Manziel. He'll certainly help sell tickets but whether he's an NFL quarterback is a huge question mark with his tendency to run after two reads.
Johnny Manziel || 2013 Highlights ᴴᴰ (via Harris Highlights)
#3 QB Blake Bortles to Jacksonville... I know everybody thinks Teddy Bridgewater is this year's best QB but good God he looks like Geno Smith 2.0 on film to me. Knowing Jax's history, they'll probably pick the wrong QB but I'm trying to change their mojo with this somewhat surprise pick. Bortles really passes the eye test on film and he played well against good defenses. People say he's more raw but he looks pretty fundamental to me and he uses the pocket well and goes through his progressions better than any of the other QBs. I really hope this pick works out for Jacksonville because they've been snake-bitten at QB for many years now.
Blake Bortles (QB UCF) vs South Carolina 2013 (via Aimal Arsalla)
#4 WR Sammy Watkins to the Rams... The Rams get the highest-ranked WR in the draft. I know they want/need OT but they also pick 13th and the falloff between OTs is not that much compared to what comes after Watkins. Once they get their OT, Sam Bradford better have a hell of a year because they'll have given him a lot of weapons to work with. If not, they'll be looking QB again next year. They're hoping Greg Robinson or Jake Matthews fall to them at #13.
Sammy Watkins vs Georgia 2013 (via sm2635)
#5 QB Teddy Bridgewater to the Raiders... The Faiders have a lot of needs but pass rush is probably #1. They go quarterback, though, because the "best" has fallen to them. I don't actually think he's going to be that great, which is good for the Chiefs. If you watch his highlight videos, you'll notice they all came against unranked teams. The Raiders have put a lot of resources into QB in recent years with little payoff. I actually think Terrelle Pryor took some steps last year and could develop but here's hoping the Raiders continue screwing things up.
Teddy Bridgewater (QB Louisville) vs Miami, 2013 Russell Athletic Bowl (via Aimal Arsalla)
#6 43OLB Khalil Mack to the Falcons... Wow, the Falcons were bad in 2013. They had no running game or rushing defense. It's either Barr or Mack here. Considering how bad they were against the run, they need Mack's toughness against both the run and the pass over Barr's one-dimensional pass-rushing ability.
Buffalo Bulls vs Ohio State Buckeyes: Khalil Mack Highlights (via UBSID)
#7 OT Jake Matthews to the Bucs... Glennon actually had a solid statistical year but wow that offense was craptastic because of no running game. I think the coach got a bum rap and should've been given more time. The Bucs are kind of like the Browns - they don't give coaches enough time and are constantly throwing the franchise into chaos. The muscle hamster was a bust of epic proportions. I think the Bucs invest in OT to keep Glennon upright and to have some more blocking for the run game. I do think it's going to be hard for them to pass on Barr, though, because of his speed as a pass-rusher. Getting the #1 ranked tackle, though, is harder for them to pass up. I actually think they may prefer Greg Robinson because Matthews only played left tackle one year and Manziel masks weaknesses in his OTs.
Jake Matthews vs Oklahoma (2012 Bowl) (via Bruno Macedo)
#8 43OLB Anthony Barr to the Vikings... The Vikings are a mess at QB. They look like the Chiefs from two years ago. That shouldn't be a surprise considering they had Cassel as their best option. Their biggest weakness was actually pass defense and the QBs left are pretty underwhelming so I have them going after their 31st-ranked pass defense with the second-highest-ranked pass rusher in this draft. If they go QB, they'll have to go Carr but he looks like British shite on film... can't handle the rush. They may try a QB in the second round or they may just decide they're stuck with their crap stable for another year and to make the best of it. They do have AP and any QB worth their salt should be able to run a play-action offense off of his skills.
Anthony Barr vs Nebraska (2013) (via Nick Page)
#9 WR Marqise Lee to the Bills. The Bills desperately need another WR for their rookie QB from last year, EJ Manuel. Lee had an injury-prone 2013 but he could be a good replacement/sub for Stevie Johnson, who's winding down his career.
Marqise Lee vs Syracuse, Arizona, UCLA & Notre Dame (2012) (via Adrian Ahufinger)
#10 CB Darqueze Dennard to the Lions … How the Lions couldn't make the playoffs this last season is a bit of a head-scratcher. Their only significant weakness was pass defense, which is surprising considering how much they've invested in the defensive line. They have to be going secondary here and Dennard is the top-ranked corner. I do think they will be severely tempted, though, to take MLB CJ Mosley, who can play inside or outside in a 4-3 defense.
Darqueze Dennard vs Michigan 2013 (via JmpasqDraftjedi)
#11 OT Greg Robinson to the Tennessee Titans … The Titans' biggest weaknesses were passing offense and run defense. This team is not far away from competing in the playoffs, although questions at QB persist and CJ2K is vastly overrated. With Robinson blocking for him, CJ2K should look a lot better. This pick and the #7 pick (Matthews) could be easily flipped. This is another franchise that I think incorrectly scapegoated their coach for the sake of change. I do like Whisenhunt, though, and I wish the Chiefs had picked him up instead of Andy Reid. It'll be interesting to see what he can get out of Locker. I could see the Titans considering Carr but he doesn't look as good as either of the QBs they have on the roster already.
Greg Robinson (Auburn OL) vs Missouri (2013 SEC Championship) (via DCheeseB)
#12 43MLB or OLB CJ Mosley to the NY Giants … The Giants fell off a cliff last year but they kept battling. Their defense actually improved a lot over the second half of the season... the offense not so much. Manning was horrible this past season so the big question is why. OL and sacks reduction are probably a primary goal but I can't see them passing up BPA here with the versatile Mosley, especially considering LB Jon Beason is a free agent. I could also see them going OT here but Mosley's too good to pass up. His injury history is somewhat concerning, however.
C.J. Mosley vs Notre Dame (2012 National Championship) (via Nick Page)
#13 OT Cyrus Kouandjio to the St. Louis Rams… The Rams were hoping either Robinson or Matthews would fall this far but they didn't. They take the next best LT and this team is stocked to do some damage in the very tough NFC West next season... unless Sam Bradford just plain sucks, which is a distinct possibility.
Cyrus Kouandjio vs Texas A&M (2012) (via Bruno Macedo)
#14 43DT Rashede Hageman to the Bears... Yuck, their run defense was the league's worst. Their offense played quite well in 2013 with both of their quarterbacks. Nix would also be a possibility here but he's a better 34 fit and he has balky knees and weight issues.
Ra'shede Hageman vs Michigan (2012) (via DCheeseB)
#15 OT Taylor Lewan to Pittsburgh... I wanted to pick Nix here again because one of the Steelers' bigger weaknesses was their run defense but his knees and weight scared me off again. The Steelers' biggest weakness was actually their running game, although that improved in the second half of the season with LeVeon Bell. This OT just sounds like a good fit with Steelers football.... he's nasty and a good blocker plus their current starter, Beachum, sounds like he's pretty marginal at best. Coach Tomlin hasn't exactly been singing his praises, either. Big Ben and Bell will appreciate the pick.
Taylor Lewan vs Notre Dame "Prince Shembo/Stephon Tuitt" 2012 (via JmpasqDraftjedi)
#16 WR Mike Evans to the Ravens... Baltimore's rushing offense was horrible and Flacco struggled without ironman Boldin. They hope Evans can become another Boldin and provide some good run-blocking from the WR spot.
Mike Evans vs Alabama 2013 (via JPDraftJedi)
#17 FS Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix to Dallas … Not sure what happened to the Cowboys last year. Their defense played well against the Chiefs but they fell apart the second half of the season. They will have a new D coordinator and they have some holes to fill. Clinton-Dix, who I think is going to be a bust, falls to them. It is an open question, though, whether they will want to take another chance on a highly rated Alabama player after their CB bust Morris Claiborne.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix vs Texas A&M 2013 (via JPDraftJedi)
#18 WR Allen Robinson to the NY Jets... Their passing offense and passing defense were their two biggest weaknesses. A lot of mocks have them going TE with either Ebron or Amaro but they really need wideouts first. The Jet's WRs are garbage and a legit receiver is needed to showcase their QB's deep-threat arm. Robinson was prolific in college but I could also see them going Odell Beckham, Jr. here. This is definitely a reach but given the Jets woeful WR play, I can see them justifying it.
The Supreme Allen Robinson Highlights (via MockingNFLDraft)
#19 43DT Louis Nix to Miami... The Dolphins really aren't good at anything. They were their worst at running the ball and defending the run. The fact they still can't run the ball even with all the investment they've made in running backs tells me there's probably something very wrong with the OL. I have a feeling they're going to acquire Branden Albert in free agency, though. Nix ends his slide here but they'll be playing him out of his normal position of NT. It's questionable whether he can play the 43DT position but Miami's desperate with both of their defensive tackles from last year being free agents and neither of them being particularly good.
Louis Nix III vs Alabama 2013 BCS Championship (via JPDraftJedi)
#20 TE Eric Ebron to Arizona… The Cards had a surprisingly good year in the toughest of divisions... the NFC West. Their only major weakness, besides Carson Palmer turning the ball over a lot, was the lack of a running game. I don't see Palmer surviving many more years, which means they could take a look at Carr but instead, I think they take a shot with a TE with tremendous upside but also a high bust potential. Ebron has the body and athleticism but he didn't produce much in college.
Eric Ebron || North Carolina Highlights ᴴᴰ (via Harris Highlights)
#21 DE Stephon Tuitt to Green Bay… Defense was the Packers' problem against both the pass and run. Tuitt is a gamble after an off-2013 but he could be good against both the run and pass.
Stephon Tuitt vs USC (2013) (via DCheeseB)
#22 CB Jason Verrett to Philadelphia… The Eagles turned out to be a pretty good team in 2013 after a rocky start. However, their pass defense was the league's worst. They need help in the secondary. This is where my Chiefs fandom is probably ruining my objectivity because they very well could and probably should snatch Gilbert before the Chiefs pick but hey, I'll rationalize it by saying Draft Tek agrees with me.
Jason Verrett vs. Texas Tech (2012) (via Mario Clavel)
#23 CB Justin Gilbert to Kansas City... Say goodbye to Dunta Robinson. Thank God. I'm actually sweating that Gilbert will be gone by the time we pick. He has better size than Verrett but he is a little slower. He's a good press-man corner, which fits Sutton's defense. This has the potential to be a good cascading pick. It should allow us to have up to four good corners on the field at all times if we need to, especially against Manning. If Cooper can improve, Smith can stop pouting, and Flowers can rebound, we have the potential to be a pretty good secondary at corner at least. We'll still have to deal with our miserable safety situation, however. Here's hoping Berry can bounce back from that miserable playoff game. FS has to be a major priority later in the draft and through free agency. Banking on 5th-round corner project Sanders Commings seems dubious at best.
Justin Gilbert vs Mississippi State (2013) (via DCheeseB)
#24 WR Jordan Matthews to Cincinnati... The Bengals really don't have any weaknesses. How they lost to San Diego is a mystery except that it was another playoff choke job by Andy Dalton. The Bengals may be considering an after-Dalton plan, which could involve a Kirk Cousins trade or drafting Carr here. Carr is a huge risk, however, and I would rather have Matthews' tremendous productivity and route-running tree replace Sanu as the #2 receiver. Dalton deserves one more shot in the playoffs before being written off as a starter. With few weaknesses, they could also go Kelvin Benjamin here on the chance he becomes the next Megatron.
The Supreme Jordan Matthews Highlights (via MockingNFLDraft)
#25 TE Jace Amaro to San Diego... The Chargers pass defense was pretty bad last season and they have major needs there, at LB and on the OL so they can go a lot of different directions. I am going against need with this pick because Antonio Gates is in decline and they need someone to develop behind him and to replace him.
Jace Amaro || Texas Tech Highlights ᴴᴰ (via Harris Highlights)
#26 OG David Yankey to Cleveland... The Browns continue to upgrade the offense with a good blocker probably for Ben Tate and their new human joystick QB.
David Yankey vs UCLA (2013) (via Josh DB)
#27 WR Kelvin Benjamin to New Orleans… The Saints struggled to run the ball and their D was a little weak against the run. But they badly need a replacement for the ever-declining Marques Colston and Benjamin is high-risk, high-reward. Brees could turn him into a beast or Benjamin could just be an undisciplined, immature sophomore who was looking to cash in for a large entourage of family and friends.
Kelvin Benjamin vs Florida (2013) (via DCheeseB)
#28 WR Odell Beckham, Jr. to Carolina… The Panthers had a hell of a year and their coach won coach of the year. I'm still not sold on Cam Newton and their passing offense was pretty bad. He's too inconsistent. The Panthers really need another WR because Steve Smith is dropping off and near the end.
Odell Beckham Jr. Highlights (via Nasir SoReal)
#29 DE Kony Ealy to New England… Because of the lack of 4-3 defenses, the Pats luck out with Ealy falling this far. The Patriots major weakness was run defense and they were almost the worst at it. How Belichick keeps getting this team to the playoffs is some real craftsmanship but this a pretty good value pick right here considering many have him ranked to go higher.
Kony Ealy vs Florida (2013) (via DCheeseB)
#30 WR Brandin Cooks to San Francisco... This was a tough pick to call. A lot of people think the 49ers will be afraid to go with a WR again after getting burned by AJ Jenkins, but I don't think that's how they roll in SF. They have a good GM who is right a lot more often than he's wrong and he'll just call it like he sees it.
Brandin Cooks vs Arizona State (2013) (via DCheeseB)
#31 43DT Timmy Jernigan to the Broncos... I struggled with this pick. They also need a corner badly with Champ Bailey near the end. Almost everybody has Jernigan as a first-round pick so I guess I'm just making him fit and he does here, with a 4-3 defensive team. Denver had a lot of injuries this year and they could use some more depth on the DL.
Ultimate Timmy Jernigan Highlights | HD (via TheFootballman175)
#32 43OLB Ryan Shazier to Seattle... I know this seems like a reach because Malcolm Smith won SuperBowl MVP but if you look at his regular season stats, they could use an upgrade. Seattle always makes a pick that surprises everyone but they clearly seem to know what they're doing. Embarrassment of riches on their defense. They could use another corner, too, for depth.

Risky Business #266 -- ToR, BitCoin, crooks and quantum key distribution
On this week's show we're talking ToR and BitCoin with Alice Hutchings, a Senior Researcher and Analyst with the Australian Institute of Criminology's Global, Economic and Electronic Crime Program.
ToR helps dissidents in foreign countries access information their governments deem unsavoury -- but it also provides a layer of protection to the consumers of child porn. Combine it with technology like BitCoin and bang, you've got Silk Road. Given the illicit uses of such technology, is volunteering to run a ToR server moral?
It's a fun, completely pointless academic conversation and it's coming up after the news!
This week's show is brought to you by Senetas, makers of fine layer 2 encryption technology. Senetas CTO Julian Fay joins us in this week's sponsor interview and we're talking all about Quantum Key Distribution.
It's a technology that is available commercially and after listening to that interview you'll actually know what it does and how it works! I learned a lot doing that interview. It's good stuff.
Insomnia Security's Adam Boileau joins us to discuss the week's security news. You can find links to the stories discussed in this week's show notes.
The key distribution is really something. We all have been pretty good at what it is all about. - Feed the Children Reviews

The first Pennsylvania senator to win a seat as a write-in candidate has come out at the front of his second election in three months.
Scott Wagner defeated Zachary Hearn in the Republican primary for the 28th Senate district in York County.
Wagner received 85 percent of the vote, according to an unofficial count.
Wagner, a prominent York County businessman who owns Penn Waste and a trucking firm, won a special election in March against state Rep. Ron Miller and Democrat Linda Small, who he'll face again in November.
The special election in March came after former senator Mike Waugh resigned to become executive director of the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg.

Canadian tennis pro Frank Dancevic collapsed on the court during the Australian Open yesterday when temperatures went above 105 degrees fahrenheit. "I was dizzy from the middle of the first set and then I saw Snoopy and I thought, 'Wow Snoopy, that's weird,'" Dancevic said. He was actually volleying with Woodstock. Dancevic called the conditions "inhumane." (The Guardian)

Boston's two candidates for mayor pledged Wednesday night that their administrations would be more representative of the city, with about half of appointees being people of color. They also promised to bring jobs to struggling neighborhoods and to move aggressively to close the achievement gap between students.
In the third face-off of their campaign, state Representative Martin J. Walsh and Councilor at Large John R. Connolly sat beside each other, agreeing that there are too many inequities in communities of color, compared with the rest of the city.

The Creal Springs police chief is facing charges of unlawful restraint and domestic battery.
Chief Nicholas Rider was in an Equality, Ill. home blocking the doorway with his body from Lindsey Karns, and in the presence of a child. Rider also allegedly chest-bumped Karns.
The Gallatin County Circuit Clerk said Rider had a warrant out for his arrest and turned himself in to the Gallatin County Sheriff's Department on March 21. He posted his $1,000 bond.

U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson wants an audit of how Mississippi spends child care funds for low income working families.
Mississippi Department of Human Services officials, who administer the program, tell The Clarion-Ledger that they have not been contacted about Thompson's request to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Thompson, D-Miss., says his office has received numerous complaints from licensed child-care providers who participate in the federal child-care certificate program. Thompson says "unreasonable" demands are being made of providers.
The audit request comes as child-care providers have opposed MDHS' plan to require individuals checking a child in or out of a center each day to have a finger scanned. Other than a pilot program, the scanning won't go into effect before Feb. 1, according to a court agreement.

Getting Here and Around in Borrego Springs
Getting Here and Around
You can reach the Anza Borrego Desert from the Palm Springs area by taking the Highway 86 exit from Interstate 10, south of Indio. Highway 86, mostly not freeway, passes through Coachella and along the western shore of the Salton Sea. Turn west on Highway S22 at Salton City and follow it to Peg Leg Road, where you turn south until you reach Palm Canyon Drive. Turn west and the road leads to the center of Borrego Springs, Christmas Circle, where most major roads come together. Well-marked roads radiating from the circle will take you to the most popular sites in the park. If you are coming from the San Diego area, you'll need to drive east on Interstate 8 to the Cuyamaca Mountains, exit at Highway 79 and enjoy a lovely 23-mile drive through the mountains until you reach Julian; head east on Highway 78 and follow well-marked signs to Borrego Springs.
These are the top 25 trips we're looking to book right now -- and we hope you'll join us!More

Lourdes University's Danny Bichsel (Westerville, Ohio/North H.S.) and Connor Mishler (Lambertville, Mich./Saint John's H.S.) have been named the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week respectively after leading the Gray Wolves to a pair of wins last week.
Bichsel, who earned his second straight Offensive Player of the Week honor, scored 10 times and added an assist for an 11-point week. He also picked up five ground balls and had 27 shot attempts, 17 of which were on goal. He scored five times on Wednesday in an 11-2 victory at Siena Heights. Bichsel then tallied five more goals along with handing out an assist on Saturday in an 18-10 triumph at Aquinas.
Mishler earned the win in goal in both contests for the Gray Wolves. He made 15 saves on 17 shots against Siena Heights and had 10 more stops against Aquinas, giving him a .676 save percentage for the week. This is Mishler's first WHAC Defensive Player of the Week honor.
On the season Bichsel leads the team with 36 goals and 94 shot attempts, and is second on the team with 46 points. Mishler has posted a 5.67 goals against average on the year and a .605 save percentage.
Lourdes (7-0), ranked 20th in the nation in the latest CCLA Division II poll, puts its perfect mark on the line Wednesday evening, hosting Lawrence Tech. The opening faceoff is set for 7 p.m. at Ottawa Hills High School.

On page 16 of the Healthcare Cloud strategy documentation they show 'F/IDM' to be the foundation to integrated services delivered from Cloud Providers.
Federated Identity Management is where the Identity authentication systems like Active Directory, are connected and synchronized, so that you don't have to repeatedly enter your username and password for each domain they control access to.
'Cloud SSO' (Single Sign-on) is where this effect is achieved across Cloud environments and applications.
C-SOA : Best Practice Alerts
As an example of where and how this could be applied, we can look at an example scenario of 'Best Practice Alerts', which also then sets the scene for the role F/IDM will play in the overarching theme of C-SOA: Cloud Service Oriented Architecture.
Described in our Private Cloud 2.0 scenario is the case study of the NHS in the UK, using the Search fast engine to provide medical staff with tailored information alerts, which are generated from the search function crawling various back-end systems.
Enabling better user access to back-end systems is one of the primary goals of a SOA, and this scenario demonstrates how Search can be one of the models for achieving this.
And if you read this Technet article, you will see one of the challenges this architecture faces is the simple mechanics of Identity authentication. The FAST Search engine must have access to the various files, folders and applications that it is required to index to provide this information.
Searching across multiple domains like this is called Federated Search, and so the role of Federated Identity can be seen clearly as the foundational component that securely connects different domains so these types of applications can run between them.

Town Square
Letter: Surprised by tone of Phillips Brooks story
Original post made by Editor, The Almanac Online on Sep 30, 2007
I am somewhat surprised by the tenor of the article about the purchase of land by Phillips Brooks School and the reaction of those interviewed. Phillips Brooks has been educating children since 1978 and from all accounts is doing an admirable job of it.
The school is in need of a campus to meet its long-term goal of continuing to educate children, plain and simple. The lack of support by any community towards that goal is mind-boggling to me.
The suspicious nature of the woman interviewed is insulting, mean-spirited and ignorant in my view. Her conclusion that the school was "sneaky" because she was approached by Realtors suggesting that someone was interested in her property has no support in fact. I would have thought that in an area of enormous wealth, a highly educated and enlightened populace would make it a priority to support educating children to make the world a better place. What a disappointment.

The staff at both Born to Run locations know firstfoot what's important in a good running shoe. Every Wednesday and Thursday morning before opening up shop, they slip on their footwear of choice and lead group runs. They share their passion for running and their knowledge of quality footwear with the marathoners, joggers, and walkers that amble through their doors. They pride themselves on having something for everybody, including minimalist, cross-trainer, and high-cushioned shoes from trusted brands such as Saucony, Adidas, Nike, and Brooks. In addition to equipping athletes with a wardrobe of reflective vests, sports bras, and Under Armour wear, Born to Run enhances daily runs with a host of accessories, such as GPS watches for mapping out jogging routes or remembering where you parked the hovercraft.
Regardless of which of the hundreds of Target Portrait Studio locations you meander into, you can always count on a similar experience. Tucked into Target retail locations throughout the nation, each studio boasts a staff of professional photographers, premium lighting equipment, and advanced digital cameras. The seasoned crew takes pains to customize photo sessions to suit each customer's vision, setting up desired backgrounds and props before guiding families and high-school seniors through a mélange of poses. Afterward, customers will work with a professional to personalize their portraits with different special effects and styles, such as black and white or sepia tone. They then pick up their physical portraits at the studio in 7–10 days. If they don't feel like holding their breath that long to see the final products, they can access the images in an online gallery within 24 hours of the session, at which point they can order extra prints for gifts, collages, and greeting cards.
When kids want to play Hot Lava Monster on a jungle gym, hone their athletic skills on shock-absorbent basketball courts, or swing for the sky on a backyard swingset, Superior Play Systems helps them on their way. The company creates play equipment crafted with safety in mind. Some of its trampolines, for example, come with safety enclosures to keep kids from accidentally jumping onto Pluto.

Rocking A Sustainable Farm This year at Rocking A Sustainable Farm http://www.localharvest.org/blog/38434/feed/entries/atom 2012-02-07T13:13:16+00:00 Apache Roller (incubating) http://www.localharvest.org/blog/38434/entry/planting_season_is_almost_here Planting Season is almost here!

 The 2012 planting season is upon us! We are planning to offer 25 CSA memberships this summer for Washington and Baldwin County residents. I am pleased that my teenage son is willing to be my partner this year, as doing this alone caused extreme burnout last year!

 Our plans are to have two 6-week sessions with the first beginning June 6 and ending July 11 and the second beginning July 18 and ending August 22. Hopefully this will prevent us from missing the peak harvest of figs and melons in July, while allowing our family to take a brief vacation.

 Additionally, I was considering a spring CSA for up to 10 members beginning April 28 and ending May 25. There would be no registration fee and a weekly rate of $40. Crops available during this late spring session would include spinach, chard, beet tops and roots, carrots, green onions, fresh herbs, lettuces, collards, arugula, kohlrabi, radishes and perhaps by the end of the session, a bit of potatoes or squash. I will be the only worker during this phase, so I want to keep the customer base at a managable size.

 Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call Lori at (478)247-3361 if you are interested in participating this year!

I can't say enough good things about the quality and taste of fresh, raw Jersey milk. We are getting about 2 and 1/2 gallons per day on just two quarters of our cow. The "skimmed" milk is delicious, probably because it is still about 4.5 % butterfat. Our fresh butter is delightful, as is the yogurt, buttermilk, and fresh mozzarella.

After having experimented with cheesemaking on store bought organic milk and getting mixed results, it is a pleasure to get successful cheese products every time with the whole, unpasteurized milk. The mozzarella is shiny, stretchy, and delicious.

 Ricotta, cottage, and other fresh, soft cheeses have been so easy to make, too.

Too bad it is illegal to sell raw cow's milk in our state!

We can't wait to try some fresh Jersey milk this week. Way to go, Lilly!

 I am homeschooling our 5th grade son this year, so we are constantly looking for ways to find excitement outside of the textbooks! Being the only two humans around for miles for the majority of the day can be tiresome! Since our family loves to garden/farm, and since we have plenty of area to roam, Charles and I thought it would be fun to prepare a meal from wild plants available this month.

Using the book, Edible Wild Plants by Lee Allen Peterson, we were able to identify and harvest at least a dozen available plants just within our yard!! Imagine eating fresh blackberry and rose shoots, oxalis, wood violets, dandelions, clover, and more Each plant has its own delicious taste and texture. Furthermore, the variety of colors makes the mixture appealing to the eye.

Our meal consisted of wild salad, dandelion fritters, and cooked wild greens, We also prepared "teas" or infusions with many of the leaves and petals, which was a pleasing experience, as well. Both of us felt satisfied with the tastes, smells, and sights on our plates.

Discovering the bounty of foods at our feet was exciting and educational, but also gave us time in the sunny outdoors together. God has truly blessed our planet and it is obvious in nature that He has met our every need if we only get on our knees and see it. AMEN!
 http://www.localharvest.org/blog/38434/entry/salad_season Salad Season Harlan and Lori 2011-03-02T12:03:09+00:00 2011-03-02T12:03:29+00:00
Salad season is here in full swing! We mix lots of different lettuces, along with michihli leaves and florets, baby beet tops, baby carrots, shogoin turnip roots, radishes, and pea shoots for the most delicious and fresh salad ever! Try some with a strawberry vinaigrette and toasted pecans, or boiled eggs and bacon for a wholesome and satisfying meal.

Our braising greens are abundant, too. It is fun to try different mixes and new cooking techniques for them. Arugula is great sauteed in bacon drippings and added to a cheesy pasta dish. Stir-fried michihli with onions and mushrooms is great as a side dish with chicken. Southern style turnip greens cooked with diced roots and salted pork is yet another way to enjoy the spring harvest.

Be daring! Try something new this season in the "greens" department. You can't go wrong, no matter what you choose or how you choose to eat them.

 It is time to sign up for a Summer CSA at Rocking A Sustainable Farm! This year, we changed our program a bit. We will offer two 6-week sessions for $45 per session and $35 per week. If you sign up for both sessions at one time, then you only pay one $45 membership fee.

Our pickup sites will be at Sandersville First Christian Church on Wednesdays from 6-7 p.m., Mary Vinson Library in Milledgeville on Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. and at the farm on an as needed basis.

Of course, we will be glad to work with you on weeks that you are out of town, etc. if you just let us know in advance.

Session I begins Wed., June 1 and goes through Thurs., July 7.

Session II begins Wed, July 29 and ends Thurs., Sept. 1

We have 25 shares available per session.

Each week you will receive "shares" of at least 5 available crops. Many weeks you will have up to 8 different items. But don't worry about not having enough! Our crop list for summer will include: yellow squash, a few varieties of zucchini, salad greens, green beans (assorted types), tomatoes, corn, potatoes (several types), blackberries (wild), cucumbers--assorted varieties, pattypan squash, eggplants, peppers, okra, tomatillos, onions, sweet potatoes, muscadines, pears, figs and more! See our listing on the home page under farms for more.

 http://www.localharvest.org/blog/38434/entry/rabbits_as_house_pets Rabbits as house pets Harlan and Lori 2011-02-09T00:12:08+00:00 2011-02-09T00:12:08+00:00
Our youngest child received a rabbit for his birthday back in November. It was a mixed breed with some Flemish Giant parentage. My son had done massive amounts of reading on rabbit keeping prior to his choosing this pet and had decided upon Flemish Giant, as they are known to be calm and gentle animals.

He was named Sasquatch for his incredibly large feet. He has an appetite to match them, too! However, the great thing about rabbits is their food is relatively cheap when compared to layer crumbles, goat pellets, and horse feed! Furthermore, since we garden nearly yearround, there is always plenty of fresh produce to offer him. In addition to the pellets and lots of vegetable parings, he enjoys pine twigs and cones, fresh green grass trimmings, dandelions, and other yard goodies!

After living in our home for two months, he is quite affectionate towards us and has a ritual of circling our feet when we enter his area. In addition, he makes soft, grunting sounds as he runs. We take him outside for a run in the chicken yard for exercise and fresh air and house him in a comfy hutch when we aren't home.

Anyone who is wanting a pet, but doesn't want the time committment of a puppy or a kitten, should consider these cuddly, domestic animals!

We are getting spring fever here at Rocking A Sustainable Farm! I'm not sure if it comes naturally or if those seed catalogs bring it to us. Anyway, we are looking at the calendar and picking dates to till the soil, move compost, plant seeds and potatoes, prepare for new Cornish Roaster chicks, and lots, lots, more!

Our two Jersey cows are due to calve this spring and we are excited about our first calves! That also brings on a new chore--milking! Hopefully it is not too hard to learn at my age.

Our asparagus bed should be bringing in its first crop soon, too. I am eager to see how it fared the winter. Asparagus is one of my favorite raw vegetables, so it may not make it back to the kitchen.

Ayoko nang maging artista.
I'm saying this because two or three weeks ago, I had treatments done on me at the Weigh Less Center (Mendez Medical Group) at SM Megamall. And boy were they painful…painful physically and painful financially!
Remember when I was ranting about my underarms burnt by waxing? Naku, it happened again. Twice pa after that! So I really swore to myself I'll have my underarms lasered. Sobrang nacacahiya talaga mag-sleeveless. Plus my friend Dr. Sugar Blanco told me how her boyfriend was raving about her underarms not having hair. She advised me to look for online promos, 'coz that's how she was able to have her underarms lasered without breaking the bank.
And then I saw this deal on Ensogo:
Perfect, di ba? At our local dermatologist, each IPL session costs P3,000 na agad! So this was great. After all, I'm always in the Metro; Mendez Medical has a branch at Megamall, and our condo is near Megamall! So on Friday last week after my class, I headed to its Megamall branch to inquire. I had a feeling that I could get the same deal without having to go through Ensogo. If not, I could easily purchase it online naman. Basta, I'd rather clarify all the terms before buying. So I went. And, I was right! I was able to get the same deal they're offering at Ensogo! But aside from the Php 3,000 3-in-1 underarm package, I was also greatly "encouraged" to avail of the additional P3,000 for four sessions of blue treatment + diamond peel to remove the "chicken skin" of my underarms daw.
First, my underarms were treated with the whitening cream. While waiting for the cream to dry, I asked about their sclerotherapy. See, it's also on my bucket list—to eradicate my varicose veins and spider veins! Ever since I gave birth, they've started being visible on my legs. Plus I teach the whole, and that requires me to be on my feet for long periods of time. Eh you know how conscious I am about my thunder thighs 'di ba? Ngayon na nga lang ako nagkakalakas-loob mag-shorts-shorts, tapos babasagin pa ng varicose veins na 'yan. I can't just ignore this, because I remember my pretty cousin, Ate Frances, very vividly said this a decade ago: "Basta ako, hindi ako magsho-shorts 'pag puro varicose veins ang legs ko!"
The clinic attendant called one of the dermatologists there, a Dr. Panes. She looked at my legs and estimated that with their Buy 2 Take 1 promo, I'd be spending a huge amount to fully eradicate the unsightly and painful varicose veins.
Napalunok ako. Here I thought I'd only be spending P3,000 for my underarms. I said I'll shelf it muna.
Then I asked about what may be done about my crow's feet. Botox daw. Botox?!? Parang hindi ko kinaya. Parang sobrang extreme na ng Botox 'di ba? Feeling ko, 'pag ipinagawa ko 'yun, parang retokada na rin ako. Because honestly, never akong naging suki ng derma or any beauty clinics. All my life, I went to a derma just once or twice. One of them was a few days before my wedding when I had a diamond peel.
Then Dr. Joel Mendez came to see me. He was really nice, despite his status as a celebrity doctor. He checked my legs and said it was OK naman daw, albeit 'yun nga, some veins are starting to run through them. He offered me great sclerotherapy deal—freebies worth around P6,000! So, GAME! I got only a fraction of the quoted total sclerotherapy package, para at least 'yung mga obvious man lang ang matanggal.

Is GOP Overlooking the Asian American Voters in Virginia?
There was an article in our local Fairfax Times with the headlines: "Candidates target Asian American voters -Group's high voter turnout likely to play key role in Virginia's outcome."
I loved this article because the Asian American vote is a key point in any election held in the present Northern Virginia and they hit it spot on. Many of the local politicians understand and acknowledge this point–particularly the Democrats.
State Senator Chap Petersen outlined in his Ox Road South blog saying that the "demographic storm in Virginia which has been a gathering force for twenty years has now reached critical mass." He also wrote, "What is amazing is how national politicians, with presumably highly-paid consultants, have completely missed this cultural change in Virginia. Instead, they simply divide the electorate into the same old cookie-cutter categories and write off those groups, which don't fit the image of their prototypical supporter. As a result, they miss the opportunity to make connections with these 'minority' groups, that would otherwise be sympathetic to their message." Chap went out of his way to do this. He knew who his constituents were and he won.
Number one, politicians need to realize that in the Asian American communities, they need to be coddled and buttered up, not the other way around, as is usually the norm in the GOP. This is particular essential in the Korean American communities where the people thrive in their individual churches and crave their place in the U.S. society.
One GOP politician who did this exceptionally well is the current Attorney General of Virginia, Ken Cuccinelli, who helped along the wave that brought in McDonnell as governor. He was able to do this in every corner of Virginia and thus at the National Convention, he was the rock star of the day. He went to the Korean Churches, ate Korean dinner with the Korean press although he had never tried the food before, gracefully showing his genuine look of newness at trying cuisine he never tasted before and he showed up at Korean specific events which told the community he cared. He showed up. He was the only GOP State Senator in a very blue Northern Virginia and the GOP has not replaced his seat yet.
What I've observed in this election and was disturbed about from the Romney campaign is that the focus and attention has not been on the actual constituency– and believe me, it is an easy win if you just show you care. That is what the minority voters want to see. Apparently, they've gone back to the 'Old Boys Club' ways and are just doing the same old thing, using the same old people whose art is to kiss the rear ends of whoever is in power. It's as if they're trying to prove they can do something when in fact they are interlopers in the society of immigrants that has built their own factions and closed quarters. These are the ones that are craving a position, a spot, maneuvering for titles and not for the vote to put on their resumes. They don't understand that the average immigrant vote is based on "what can you do for us?" Thus they have held their rallies and have called in favorites of their friends of which some of are not even from their locale to show that they can bring in people. The problem is that the majority of the people (who actually vote) cannot show up at these rallies because they are busy working and not trying to jockey for position in front of some political appointee.
I was so excited about the Fairfax Times article (regarding targeting Asian Americans) that I called the reporter, Ms. Holly Hobbes, hoping that someone was finally doing something to break the inroads of what needs to be done to swing Northern Virginia to Romney. Speaking with the reporter, I was surprised and saddened that no one had called back from the local Romney campaign via the Fairfax County Republican Committee and the only thing they could report on was the Chinese photo op event in June. What I recall of that event was that it was filled with the so called Leaders of the Asian American Communities but in my eyes, it was basically the individuals who were appointed positions within the McDonnell administration for their work in his campaign, yet the actual people who worked to get the vote were not there and were not even called or informed or mentioned.
Another example of missed opportunities was during the Asian Festival at George Mason University. After being frustrated that there would be no Romney campaign booth at the festival–where there most certainly would be a Democratic presence—an Asian American campaign worker paid for a GOP booth herself. Obviously the appointees showed up pretending to do their thing so that they could say, "yes we were there", but did anyone actually contribute aside from face time? No. The unusual thing about this is that the money raised from the Asian American community most likely are coming from the Chinese community, most of whom cannot vote but the majority will come from the Koreans to turn the swing. Ironically the people supposedly heading this are not even liked or known in the community but most of the time it is a one-man type of show with a "group" called the President of the Korean American Republicans. Basically, one guy walks around with that title with no members, except for a handful that may say they are members just to be put on their curriculum vitae.
Now it is about 2 weeks countdown to the election and all of a sudden, the Romney campaign has announced n October 25, 2012, that they are launching Virginia Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Romney. Whoop-dee-doo! There is a list of Advisory Board Members, none of whom are the ones that are the real community leaders in Northern Virginia but are the interlopers who come out and use the leaders to hop onto their new jobs or appointed positions. The real leaders don't care, but they do want to be appreciated and are still doing their work in grassroots as best as they can without the support of this so-called "Advisory Board"—just like the lady who bought her own tent at the Asian Festival and used it as the Republican booth.
The thing that is the most twisted is that the Korean American reporters laugh when they see the list because they consider the majority of the people on the list clowns and users and there is no respect for them. These people promised the community that they would be there for them but instead doors are closed for them. That to me is more saddening, that the politicians are being manipulated and they're not fact checking to find out how they can get the real vote and not just a façade of individuals who are jockeying for position when Romney wins.
To the independent minority Asian voter, these are the reasons why they will vote Obama. When you have untrustworthy people being named as leaders in a community where they are not respected, which way do they have to turn? How can they believe in Romney to take care of them when these individuals did not?
Scary, eh?

What about the German-Americans, or the Norwegian-Americans? How about the Ukranian- Americans, or the Irish-Americans or Italian-Americans. How about if we are just Americans and leave it at that?
I'll take the straight American label, that's how I want it too. However, I do root for Notre Dame! :):)
yes yes yes you said it enough of this divisive racism.
Only American
Wish we could, but the fact is we are formed by our family, our circumstances, and our environment. ie: blacks have been pandered to and indoctrinated as victims for so long that it is a long slow process for them to realize that there is opportunity where it didn't previously exist and by perpetuating their (now) imaginary plight, they are, in fact, perpetuating their former status under the old (and possibly current) Democratic doctrine. Their is a Federal plantation…
Unfortunately, the "pander" policy has become part of the fabric of election campaigning, courtesy of the Democrat Party. It is Democrat strategy. They play the race card, they play the class card, they do anything to divide Americans against each other, to instill jealousy one to the other. I believe pandering shouldn't be necessary in the first place. People eligible to vote ought to understand who they'll vote for and the reasons they vote.
Oriental folks "get it," their kids in schools "get it," they're amongst the most intelligent Americans. Just look at Jin Ah Jin, her photo certainly doesn't match-up to what one would exspect a busy mother of 6 children from ages 5 to 21 to look like. I'll bet people confuse her with being their older sister!
Younger sister maybe.
She certainly doesn't' look old enough to have a 21 year old!
Well, I'm going to start eating more veggies and sea food! :):) Those folks do keep a healthy diet.
Being Indian, I have found that most in my community identify solidly with Oblamer. Most of these guys are family oriented. However, when you start talking to them they start spouting gay rights, abortion, income disparity (even though they are the worst culprits of cornering and hoarding wealth) … its downright stifling. So I think the Republicans are doing the right thing by not wasting their money persuading these folks whose socialist DNA has been etched in by their home country.
is there really any excuse for uniformed voters.
I've always held (and still hold) that Asian-Americans are too smart and too self reliant to vote for Obama or Democrats in general…
There may be some reason for distinction between Asian-Americans that have confronted communism and socialism in their home countries and those that have not. I suspect the former are not Obama/Democrat adherents. Every Eastern Bloc immigrant (as well as their offspring), that I've encountered, are very solidly conservative. They've seen the true face of liberalism/socialism/communism, and never want to see it again.
Hi, Jin Ah Jin. I like your article. Has this been forwarded to any of the Romney boys? I think it might be good to send a copy directly to them. If you have already done so, please just ignore me. I am the PolitiHen, Ann-Marie's mom, and just wondered if direct message or phone call is possible. You are in a really great group of young conservative women, and I wish you well. Six children? Ann-Marie and her sister Lisa gave me a workout. You are one tough lady!! And that is a heartfelt compliment.

Holiday photos can be bad in a lot of ways; goofy facial expressions, twitchy smiles, a thumb in the frame, a hairdo that's honestly a hairdon't (or hairnever). These things just don't come anywhere near cutting it though, if you want to win Gold in the crappy holiday photo Olympics!
Why would you want embarrassing moments of you looking terrible preserved in a photo? Oh please.
Did you miss the memo? BAD is the new GOOD. "Normal" photos that are "high-quality" and "pleasant to look at" are soooooo yesterday. Sheesh!
Plus, years from now, instead of gazing teary-eyed at old photos and whimpering about how great you once looked, instead you'll feel like a bazillion bucks!
However, just like any art or skill, for some it comes easy. For so many others, getting wickedly bad holiday photos takes intense study and practice. To capture really terrible "family secret" holiday memories, worthy of both Internet ridicule and delight, have a look at these examples of people doing them so bad, they're good.
