But It an't all about southern cooking have to have other menus on my list. This is a wonderful menu. Also, I really miss you on tv maybe someday you will be back I surely hope so. Over the years I have learned a lot from you and I miss you. I am still trying to find those measuring cups you have used on your show they are so cool.

We all know that public transport is better than using personal cars but we also know that pedal power or walking is even better. Whenever we want to know the directions anywhere we always go to googlemaps it's fast and convenient way of finding directions and has great options for terrain. We've been tracking our bike rides and dog walks using their mapping feature, but now when we're searching for directions we can simply choose walking/cycling as an option and googlemaps is meant to find the optimal way to reach your destination, googles blog indicates that:
we (google) wanted to include as much bike trail data as possible, provide
efficient routes, allow riders to customize their trip, make use of
bike lanes, calculate rider-friendly routes that avoid big hills and
customize the look of the map for cycling to encourage folks to hop on
their bikes.
We've also added information about bike trails, lanes and recommended roads directly onto the map. This can help you get a better sense of your route, or let you find trails nearby for a recreational ride. When you're zoomed into a city, click on the "More" button at the top of the map to turn on the "Bicycling" layer. You'll see three types of lines appear on the map:
- Dark green indicates a dedicated bike-only trail;
- Light green indicates a dedicated bike lane along a road;
- Dashed green indicates roads that are designated as preferred for bicycling, but without dedicated lanes
This is a great leap forward for google, and cyclists everywhere. Many cyclists (me included) prefer to avoid busy roads, especially at peak hours, and google maps allows us to amend the route accordingly. Or if we decide to stop off at a sightseeing spot we can change that online too by clicking and dragging the route to include the destination. One thing I love about google is you can check it online via any smartphone and it's great if you get lost out on a ride! As long as you have cellphone service obviously.
All in all a step (or cycle) in the right direction!

Three bills are now making their way through the house chamber, filed by Representative David Baria of Bay St. Louis.
Each bill is different calling for a change to the state's pardon process.
"There's a greater likely hood on each individual issue if they're separated," said Baria, a Democrat.
The legislation comes after former Governor Haley Barbour issued a long list of pardons, including some for convicted murders.
Some of the legislation has been introduced by Baria before, but never made it into law.
This time, Rep. Baria hopes for a different outcome.
The first bill calls for a notice and hearing on any pardons handed out, a requirement Rep. Baria says should have been in place long ago.
"We want to give folks in the community where the crime occurred an opportunity to be heard before the governor issues a pardon," Rep. Baria said.
Baria is also going after who can be allowed to work as a trusty at the governor's mansion.
A separate bill would prevent anyone convicted of murder from being eligible.
Four of those pardons from Barbour were men in that very category, convicted murders working as trusties.
"Apparently it's become a path to a pardon to serve as serve as a trusty at the governor's mansion," Rep. Baria said.
The third bill would change the state constitution, preventing any governor from granting a pardon during the last ninety days of office.
That's the only one Baria says may be a little tough in getting passed.
"It requires a different vote and there's a whole different process that's involved with a constitutional amendment," Rep. Baria said.
Meanwhile, similar legislation is making it's way down the hall inside the senate chamber.
"None of us are for that," said Senator Joey Fillingane, a Republican from Sumrall.
Sen. Fillingane says while pardons are a governor's prerogative, there needs to be some type of legislative control.
"It's there for a reason, I just think it was abused obviously in this past couple of weeks," said Sen. Fillingane.
With support growing in both cambers and both parties, lawmakers expect an easy passage of the bills and say they're only trying to stop what they believe is too much pardon power.
"I'm not trying to eliminate the governor's right to pardon," Rep. Baria said. "I just think there ought to be some reasonable processes put in place."
When it comes to trusties working at the governor's mansion, a spokesman for current governor Phil Bryant says he is working towards phasing out the use of violent offenders.

You may not realize the impact your Facebook cover photos have. However, they are an important part of getting your marketing message out in a visual way. To get it right, details for photo size and setup are important. Specs for the Facebook cover photo are 849 pixels wide and 313 pixels tall. And remember to leave space in the bottom left corner where your profile picture will overlap.

A common theme in marketing circles today is that there's been a monumental shift in how marketing works. In a world with Google and Facebook, our marketing consciousness has certainly shifted from interruption to inbound, mostly because consumers have much more power in determining how and what they see. Even Facebook advertisements can be hidden so you never see another ad from any given advertiser in your news feed again.
I've been to a lot of conferences, and it's often difficult to go home with a central theme or takeaway that survives the parties and networking. That's not the case this year at HubSpot's Inbound 2013. The message is so palpable, it sticks to you like pine sap.
One of our major content marketing crushes, Coca Cola, is making yet another big splash in the marketing world. The brand partnered with Ogilvy Paris to implement the "Slender Vender" around the French city in places no other vending machine could go.
Following the Super Bowl, many agreed there were not many commercials that stood out as YouTube-replay worthy. Sure, some conjured up a chuckle, but few made me stop and say, "That brand really gets me." While we are talking about advertising here, I believe it is part of a bigger problem regarding the entire promotion industry, including advertising, marketing and public relations—brands continue to focus on product details rather than caring about the reasons behind the decisions people make.
This week's big story comes from the world of politics. President Barack Obama delivered his second inagural address Monday, January 21, 2013, becoming only the second U.S. President in history to take the oath of office four times. The inaguration signals to many CMOs that it's time to buckle down to face what will likely be their toughest challenges of the year. See what those challenges are as well as a review of everything else from the minds of our inbound marketing bloggers this week below.
Most people will tell you advertising is a subset of marketing, one of the activities you do to help promote your brand and sell products to customers. I think the relationship between advertising and marketing is much more subtle. Marketing is advertising. I know, I'm opening a big can of worms among marketers who try to avoid any association with advertising, but hear me out.
Buyer personas empower companies to create more meaningful blog posts, webinars, white papers, events and other marketing materials. They describe what your hypothetical customer wants, as well as your fears and values so you can more effectively personalize your pitch.
We have made a lot of big statements when it comes to inbound marketing, lead nurturing and content marketing this week. Read on to find out what we are believing to be true! And mixed in you will find some great nuggets of information we found from around the web. Enjoy!
Susan Gunelius, contributor to Forbes, wrote Understanding the New ROI of Marketing on May 14th. The article has some important takeaways, but fails to adequately leverage longstanding marketing 101 principles. With a little context, the full value of the article can be realized.

Hi Charley, I hope you'll find the route via this link from the race website:
I think it's 2 laps of that, if you can work it out. See you there!
Fairyclogs - I think swim was the right word. Speaking as a back of the pack person we had Niagara Falls from mile 14 to about mile 22 (well over an hour and a half at my pace) We gave up skirting the puddles eventually (a) they covered the towpath and (b) we weren't going to get any wetter! But yes HUGE HURRAH AND THANK YOU to all those lovely marshals and distributers of food to waterlogged runners who were still there, smiling and in a good mood. Can't praise them enough.
Still trying to work out if I can walk properly, and (possibly) how long it's going to take me to turn 'I'm never doing that again!' into 'Maybe next year' ...
Porridge is a wonderful thing. Off to Wagamama for lunch today where I can load up on noodles without guilt! Definitely feeling nervous ...
I'll look out for you. I don't plan on running in a clingy red frock mind you, but I might risk my Purple Patch running singlet. Alternatively, who knows? Fashion choices ...
And the forecast has improved (ie the temperature has dropped) Things are looking up. G Baker I'm with you - 1st marathon ever. I'll be being very conservative at the back. Just had a very serious deep tissue massage this morning - now covered in bruises, but lots of knots are no longer there! No pain no gain

A message to you
The '60s saw Mr Freedom pioneering slogan t-shirts down the King's Road. By the '70s, Westwood's notorious 'SEX' t-shirt reigned. Come the 80's and Katherine Hamnett with her politically charged messages was the slogan t-shirt designer. The humble t-shirt was the way to send a message.
Now for 2011, slogans are appearing once more. Scrawled across the chest of this Mother of Pearl shirt are the words "Stay away from evil spirits" by the artist Keith Tyson. Some sound advice from Mr Tyson, whose print lends a rebellious energy to the grey silk.
In the bold spirit of the slogan tee, the patchwork denim from Junya Watanbe adds a shredded, undone cool to the polish of the gold Moschino earrings.
Everything about this look speaks of attitude. Wear with confidence and don't mince your words.

JOHN CURTIS - Daily Union Sports Editor
Shelbyville Daily Union
Monical's was tied for the lead in the standings of Shelbyville Men's Softball, but B&R Marine swept over the pizza parlor on Thursday night, 9-8, and 15-4.
The playoffs have now began. At the start of the week, Joe's Pizza and Monical's Pizza were tied atop the league, both at 7-1, with B&R Marine a half-game back, 6-2. Joe's Pizza won two games and went to 9-1. Then came the showdown with Monical's Pizza and B&R Marine on Thursday.
The opnere was a "good game." It was close throughout. It had six lead changes. Neither team led by more than two runs. It went into extra innings.
B&R struck first with a solo run in the 1st. Monical's struck back with two in the 2nd for the first lead change, 2-1. B&R tied the game in the bottom of the 2nd, 2-2. B&R took a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 3rd, the second lead change. Neither team scored in the 4th.
Monical's got two runs in the 5th for the third lead change, 4-3. B&R got those runs back in the bottom of the inning for the fourth lead change, 5-4. Monical's fought back with a 3-run 6th for the fifth lead change, 7-5.
It was the only time in the game when either team led by more than one run. B&R couldn't respond and Monical's couldn't extend over the next inning.
In the bottom of the 7th, facing a 2-run loss, B&R got the two runs to tie the score, 7-7. Monical's regained the lead in the top of the 8th and kept the pressure on B&R, leading 8-7. B&R came up in the bottom of the 8th staring at defeat again. They scored two runs for the final lead change and the walk-off win, 9-8
Monical's and B&R were then tied with 7-2 records in 2nd place. However, they still had to play the nightcap.
Emboldened by winning the extra-inning opener, B&R exploded for nine runs in the 1st inning of game 2. That early knockdown took the wind out of Monical's sails. B&R added two more runs in the 2nd to go up 11-0.
Monical's could only answer in the 2nd with one run. B&R threw in another shovel of dirt in the 3rd, a 4-run rally to lead 15-1. Monical's had no answer in the 3rd or 4th innings. Marine coasted and still led 15-1 as Monical's faced a sweep in the bottom of the 5th. Monical's had a last gasp, a 3-run burst. It was too little, too late.
Monical's dropped to 3rd place in the league at 7-3. B7R Marine rose to 2nd place at 8-2, a half-game behind Joe's Pizza at 9-1.
Game 1
B&R Marine 9, Monical's Pizza 8
Monical's 020 023 01--8
B&R Marine 111 020 22--9
Game 2
B&R Marine 15, Monical's Pizza 4
B&R Marine 924 00--15
Monical's 010 03--4

2013: The Year of the Ninja
Last year at this time, we told you that we wanted to take 2013 by storm. We wanted you to storm right along with us. And guess the f*ck what?! WE DID. WE ALL DID.
This year, we filmed 25 webcasts all across America, starting in Niagara Falls, stopping in Virginia, Idaho, Tennessee, California, and eventually landing in a Delaware rest stop wearing Santa suits. We went to SXSW and did a panel on cyberbullying. We went to San Francisco pride, celebrated when DOMA was overturned, and had our interns take over NYC Pride all at the same time (ahhh!).
We stayed live on the internet for a TWENTY FOUR HOUR StageIt fundraiser, and found out the true meaning of delirium while you helped us raise $5,000 in just one day. You then helped us raise $53,000 dollars to start The Parents Project, a first-of-its-kind digital resource for parents of LGBTQ youth. We filmed our first four videos for parents, in partnership with mom.me, to help speak to the many questions that families face.
We wrote a book that comes out this October.
We began Second Opinions, where a panel of writers with various backgrounds and experiences add different and much-needed perspectives to our work. We collaborated with MTV to write a weekly advice column focused on sex and relationships, and also began writing for Autostraddle.
Dannielle moved to Los Angeles.
Kristin got married.
We traveled to high schools and college campuses across the US, including events at The College of Idaho, University of Tennesee at Chattanooga, The Paul Cuffee School, Virginia Tech and The Brooklyn Friends School. We spoke on a panel with the founders of the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn about the changing face of activist work from the 1970s to the present day.
We were named one of the Top 25 Significant Queer Women of 2013 by Velvet Park magazine.
As usual… none of this would have been possible without your continued and unparalleled support of our work. We can never thank you enough for fueling us, in every way, to reach far beyond our biggest hopes for ourselves and for Everyone Is Gay. This coming year holds so much in store for all of us, and we are so excited to begin it with you.
Here's to a f*cking incredible 2014.
Just wonderful

By Julie Straw - bio | email | twitter
JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - On Good Friday a local church invited families to reflect on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Madison performed the stations of the cross. About 200 people walked through the hour long portrayal of Jesus' journey to Calvary, beginning with his appearance before Pontius Pilate and ending with his resurrection.
A couple dozen parishioners dressed in costume, played instruments and sang. Organizers hope the families in attendance will use the performance to grow in their own spiritual journeys.
"The stations represent an internal journey. Not only is it a journey of Jesus, but it is our life journey. It's the times when we stumble. It's the times we feel we're on trial either by others outside or ourselves," said St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church director of music ministries Judy Bain Sudduth.

I'm a frequent visitor to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Killer Tips by Matt Klowskowski. Matt writes a weekly Monday Preset post on his blog where he provides a preset that he has created with an explanation of how to view the sample file and a link to download the preset that can be easily imported into Lightroom.
For today's post, I used Matt's Aged Texture presets on a couple of photos I took recently. It's a quick easy way to give your photos a cool texture look. He did things a little differently this time and incorporated Photoshop into the process. It's not really a Lightroom preset per se but you can still incorporate what he provides into your Lightroom workflow.
If you use Lightroom, make sure you read Matt's blog on Monday's to see what preset he cooked up.

Keeping my house from being overrun by paper is a daily battle. Each day a deluge of permission slips, artwork, catalogs, magazines, and homework comes flooding in. After eight years and three kids, I can successfully say I've developed a system to keep the clutter contained. Here are a few of my tips on how to reclaim your home.
Command Center
My kitchen is my command center. Like most moms, I'm the official COO (Chief Operating Officer) of my family, and I need to know everything that's going on with all five members. To keep on top of schedules, shopping lists, and other important info, I use a chalkboard. Easy to clean, I created the one to the left with paint.
Chalkboard and/or magnetic chalkboard paint is available at Home Depot. To hide rough edges, you can purchase a kit that includes a frame, or use removable chalkboard wall decals.
Kids' Artwork
As a mom, I cherish every scribble and squiggle that my kids draw, but if I kept each masterpiece my home would soon be overrun with construction paper and littered with sparkles. Not wanting to discourage my kid's love for art, I purchased several shadowbox frames. Each of my three kids selects their favorite pieces which are then hung in our rotating "gallery". I purchased my frames from Target, and they work better than regular frames because they can accommodate three-dimensional art. Be sure to select frames that are large enough and easy enough to open so you can constantly swap out the contents as new projects come home.
When it comes to keeping these items for years to come, I like to photograph and save them to a digital photobook from Shutterfly. As an added bonus, you can easily make duplicate books with just one click and send a copy to the grandparents. They're easy and fabuLESS holiday presents, plus you can have them shipped directly, too!

Curling, Skeleton, What? Beginner's Guide to 5 Winter Sports
Here's a "hot sports take" — positioning a controversial opinion on a trending, relevant topic. That opinion? Amidst all the clutter, all the pomp, and all the overbearing jingoism, the Olympics are actually pretty cool. It's got some of the best athletes in the world, it's held in interesting places (and Salt Lake City), and it acts as a nice exposition of sports that aren't readily available to the average viewer — especially the Winter Olympics, since many countries don't experience much, if any snowfall during the season at all.
Unfortunately, since watching and learning about the events puts viewers at the mercy of NBC programmers — should they deign to actually show it — the Games are handled by either of their decidedly blithe hosts, Bob Costas or Matt Lauer. Point is, it's hard to pick up on a sport if you're not already in it to the eyebrows, and during the event, no one's really going to explain anything aside from the announcers — and Olympic announcers are a mixed bag. For every Skiatholon announcer, there's someone who can't even fake excitement let alone elucidate viewers on the ins and outs of the sport.
That's not super. To enhance your viewing experience, here's a brief overview of five sports that get a lot of Olympic coverage but are kind of hard to find between Winter Games. Enjoy.

- First of all, breathing on both sides, or bilateral breathing, is a must. Is this within your physical capabilities? Stand up and twist the upper half of your body to the right and then to the left. Then turn your head to the right and left. SCHEZAM!!!
Learning to breathe on both sides is possible. Why is this necessary? Imagine or perform the following experiment. Find an open space about 400 yards long. Select a target and try to walk straight toward it EXCEPT close your eyes and turn your head, looking to the right every 2 steps. Sneak a look forward every 10 steps. Vision in the water will be even harder because your forward view may be restricted depending upon wave conditions, fog in your goggles or glare from the sun reflecting off of the water. This is also assuming strict concentration upon straight line swimming, a difficult task for your first open water swim.
Breathing on both sides accomplishes two main goals. It tends to "even out" your stroke so that you will naturally swim straighter. Ha, ha, you already KNOW how to swim straight, right? But that is in the pool. Think of the available cues, lane lines on the side and a black line on the bottom to guide your progress. Open water is much different. In addition to the lack of visual cues available in the pool, the water is colder, there might be some waves and the 'pool length' can be as long as a mile!
The second advantage to bilateral breathing is that it will allow you to see to the right and left. When swimming in the ocean, the usual course traverses down and back along the beach. With single side breathing, half of your race will have NO visible cues toward the shore. Watching the shoreline is extremely helpful for straight swimming in the ocean. Other advantages include being able to breath away from oncoming waves or fumes from boats and snubbing your trainer in escort swims if he/she makes you mad.
- Another skill to practice in the pool is lifting your head to see forward while swimming. The easiest way is to lift your head forward just before taking a breath to the side. I use the forward motion to look and then breathe to the side. Breathing head forward is not suggested since it requires too much energy to lift the head high enough for a breath and will cause slower swimming. Swim head up freestyle in the pool and see how difficult it is compared with head down swimming.
Try to get comfortable with this peek forward in the pool where it is relatively calm. It will be more difficult in open water, especially in the ocean.
How often is it necessary to look forward? That depends upon your straight line swimming ability coupled with course conditions. Ideally, the less head lifting, the better, but swimming off course is also not advantageous. Initially, try only looking forward every 10 strokes (each arm counts as one).
- Temperatures in open water are usually colder and may require a quicker stroke rate - stroke rate is how many arm pulls you take in a minute. In open water, strokes can be counted once for each arm as it starts pulling through the water. The rate is determined by counting each arm stroke for one minute (or counting for 30 seconds and multiplying by 2, or counting for 15 seconds and multiplying by 4). The best open water swimmers in the world have stroke rates between 70 and 100 strokes per minute, with women generally on the higher end of that scale.
A faster stroke rate will assist in keeping a swimmer warmer in cold water. Have a friend time your rate in the pool. If it is under 60, you may want to work on increasing it to better handle colder temperatures.
Don't get frustrated if increasing your stroke rate is difficult. People usually do not have a daily activity where their arm muscles exercise 'aerobically'. Swimmers develop "aerobic arms" through years of training. A runner's aerobic capability may not automatically transfer to the pool where the arms are the primary motor instead of the legs. Likewise, I can swim comfortably at 80 strokes per minutes after years of training, but watch out if I'm out running; I sound like a steam locomotive.
- One more suggestion with which some coaches may disagree; modifying the stroke recovery. The recovery is how a swimmer brings the arm out of the water and back to the front after completing a stroke. Many times coaches teach swimmers to sharply bend their elbow during the recovery. This usually brings the hand close to the surface of the water. This type of recovery may not work as well in waves. A majority of open water marathon swimmers use a straight arm recovery as opposed to a bent elbow recovery. I believe a straight arm recovery works better in waves and also helps reduce strain on the shoulder. The pectoral muscles work more to recover the arm when it is straight while the shoulder and rotator cuff muscles work more to recover the arm when it is bent at the elbow.
Experiment with your recovery and see what works best for you, bent, straight, or somewhere in between. All types have been used by fast swimmers and world record holders; Janet Evans being a prime example of a successful straight arm recovery swimmer.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — WVU Tech's membership in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) continues to pay dividends.
The USCAA announced Thursday that WVU Tech will host the league's men's and women's soccer national championships in 2013 and 2014.
Tech is already pegged to host the men's and women's postseason basketball tournaments in March.
According to a school-issued press release, the upcoming soccer championships will be held at Tech's off-campus soccer home in Charleston.
"We are very pleased with our opportunity to bring our soccer championships to Charleston," says USCAA Associate Director Matt Simms. "Frank Pergolizzi and his staff at WVU Tech have displayed the utmost professionalism and attention to detail in preparing a bid to host our soccer championships.
"We look forward to the growth the championships can experience through our mutual efforts."
Games will be played at Schoenbaum Stadium in Charleston's Coonskin Park and at the Trace Fork Soccer Complex in South Charleston. The 2013 USCAA Soccer Championships are scheduled for Oct. 30-Nov. 2, while the 2014 event is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 5-8.
"We have excellent support from the local convention and visitor's bureau, great downtown hotels and excellent soccer facilities," says Pergolizzi, the Tech athletic director. "We are confident that the entire community will get behind this event."
WVU Tech takes over hosting duties from Warren Wilson College, which held the annual championships in Asheville, N.C. in 2011 the past two seasons. The Golden Bears men's soccer team finished as runners-up to Briarcliffe College in the 2012 tournament, their first appearance in the championships since joining the USCAA in 2011.
Pergolizzi also looks forward to the opportunities Charleston has to offer, helping Tech increase its involvement in the USCAA.
"WVU Tech is very excited about it's membership with the USCAA," he said. "Hosting the soccer tournament is an excellent way for us to be full and active members of the USCAA.
"The city of Charleston is a strong soccer community with excellent facilities. We felt that we could do an excellent job and offer all of the participating teams an outstanding experience."
With both tournament sites within minutes of downtown hotels, dining and shopping, Charleston will be a prime destination for competitors and spectators alike. The facilities are also conducive to potential growth of the soccer championships, league officials stressed.
"As the USCAA grows, we continue to look for ways to involve as many member institutions as possible," Simms said. "Soccer is a growing sport, not only in this country but in the USCAA. It was important for us to have a site that would be able to accommodate us should we need to expand the tournament."
Both the men's and women's tournaments feature eight-team, consolation brackets. WVU Tech will receive automatic host bids for both tournaments in 2013 and 2014.

Like true California residents, each year we anxiously await the arrival of strawberry season! Around February and March, the farms harvest the first fruit of the season, and local sellers come out in droves all over town. Let me be clear: These are not typical grocery store berries (shriveled, with little yellowy-white bottoms). They are the freshest, plumpest, sweetest strawberries you'll ever taste! When the kids see the big sign that says "Strawberries -- picked today" or the truck on the side of the road with flats of strawberries stacked high, they yell, "Moooooommy! It's the strawberry man! Can we please, please, please buy some strawberries?" Although we can't buy them every day, I'd much rather hear my kids begging for strawberries than French fries, shakes or other items found in a drive-thru.
Along with strawberries, we try to incorporate fresh produce in our everyday diets, no matter the season. In springtime we also love asparagus and cherries. In the summer, it's fresh tomatoes, watermelon, zucchini and squash. In the fall we eat pumpkin and apples galore! In the winter, oranges make it into my kids' stockings, and onto their plates just about every day before and after Christmas. Whatever the season, there's always a healthy yet tasty alternative to junk food.
Another healthy yet tasty tradition we have every year is planting our own garden. Every spring, we plant a wide variety of fruits and vegetables on the side of our house. We grow all kinds of tomatoes, zucchini, squash, cabbage, celery, peppers, cucumber, broccoli, green beans and strawberries. We make sure that the entire family pitches in each and every step of the way. When everyone participates in getting the soil ready, shopping for the plants, planting, watering, weeding and watching, it's all the more exciting to see the fruits of our labors! Seeing the first flower on the zucchini plant or the first red tomato is so exciting! We love harvesting our crops and then, of course, eating them! My daughter Anna loves tomatoes so much that she'll eat them like apples!
When we focus on having all the best produce of the season in our house, it makes eating fruits and vegetables less of a chore, and instead something we really enjoy. One more step on the road to managing type 1 diabetes and keeping the entire family healthy!
About the author: My name is Kim. My daughter Kaitlyn (the third of our five children) was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes just a few years after my nephew James was diagnosed with the same disease. I'm excited to pair up with my sister-in-law, Jen, to share our story with you!

Lynchburg, VA- Some foster children in our area grow up in complete uncertainty, tossed from family to family with no chance to settle into a stable home life. Now, a new nonprofit is trying to change things by offering support to fosters when they reach adulthood.
Impact Living Services is trying to give foster kids a second chance. They want to teach them how to live independently and give them a support system to accomplish their goals.
Whatever you face in life if you have a good support system, if you have a good family you can face just about anything," said Paul Tesi, president and founder of Impact Living Services.
Tesi has seen that come true in his own children, all fosters he adopted. Now, they are graduates, servicemen, strong adults. He wants other fosters to get the kind of support his kids did. That is why he founded Impact Living Services, which aims to help fosters who turn 18 in the system.
"We're going to help them go to school. We're going to help them get scholarships. We help them create bank accounts. We're going to help them purchase cars, help them learn all types of life skills," said Tesi.
ILS will also help them find a place to live, and the help won't stop there.
"We're interested in these kids now. But we're also interested in them 10 years from now, 20 years from now. We truly want to be a sense of permanency," said Tesi.
Tesi and ILS Director Katie Lee say without support, some fosters fall through the cracks or make tough decisions to survive.
"I talked to a girl who said she was so broke she was prostituting herself. And she lived in such a terrible setting that this lifestyle was actually an easy one to get into," said Lee.
Tesi and Lee say fosters who don't get support are more likely to end up homeless or in jail. That is why they feel their non-profit is important. ILS is currently looking for mentors, volunteers and coaches.

Transmission Failure problems of the 2004 BMW 745
One problem related to transmission failure has been reported for the 2004 BMW 745.
Transmission Failure problem #1
The vehicle is a 2004 BMW 745li. The VIN of the car is WBAGN63464_. Numerous warning lights including "possible transmission failure" and "loss of stability control" lit up on my 2004 BMW 745li. The vehicle lost its ability to accelerate, which extremely dangerous in the high traffic situation I was exepriencing on the highway. This failure is in additon to numerous warning indicator lights that appear intermiitenly in the vehcile and then reset themselves once the vehicle is truned off and restarted. The diagnosis by BMW was that the mechatronic unit on the transmission had failed (after only 70,000 miles, this is barely the break in period for these vehicles). The total repari cost was quoted at $5,000. The machatronics unit was replaced and seems to be working for now. Upon reading up on issues related to the BMW 745li it is amazing that no major recall has been initiated on its electricals, transmission, and computerized control systems. All of these seem like huge saftey concerns as the vehicle tends to fail while in traffic. This transmission failure issue occurred Tue., Mar. 8, 2011.

Nothing bugs me more than some arrogant, pompous Giants fans. It would seem that this draft is pumping up some Giants fans so I'm taking the liberty of bringing them back down to earth because they're a little bit too happy about their draft class for my tastes. One guy over at BBV even said the Giants grabbed two top 10 talents.
First, lets reminisce... 6 in a row! But really, I would love to thank the Giants for all the great memories. From Chuck Bednarik smashing Frank Gifford to DeSean returning the punt for the walk off win, you have provided the Eagles with some of their best moments in franchise history. The Eagles have an extensive history of whooping the Giants. But anyway, let's get to what I came here to talk about, your draft that has you all fired up.
The CB that Jermaine Kearse roasts right there is Prince Amukamara (7:55 mark).
Feel free to watch Justin Blackmon rape Prince Amukamara
Yep. That's Prince Amukamara who's beaten (8:49 mark).
But those are only the TDs, it doesn't show receivers getting behind him (which tends to happen).
Personally, I love how flat footed he plays, he is going to get TOASTED at the next level if he doesn't improve his footwork and his transition when he is flipping his hips.
Don't believe me? Fine…
Lacks elite speed vertically down the field when asked to turn and run, will allow receivers to get behind him and doesn't possess the type of second gear to routinely make up for a false step. Possesses a little tightness in the hips when asked to turn and run.
Ran well at the combine but has not shown great deep speed. Struggles staying with opponents downfield at times. Solid footwork but not explosive in reverse.
- Gets off-balance a lot
- Backpedal is too high
- Footwork can get choppy
- Not very fluid
- Ball skills are not that impressive
- Can be too aggressive against the run and pass
- Over-pursues at times and whiffs on tackles
- Bites on double moves and gets caught out of position
- His jam technique needs work
- Will get too physical and can lead to P.I. penalties
Or how about from FootballOutsider and Yahoo writer Doug Farrar
As fast as his trail speed is, and as well as he takes receivers through their routes underneath, Amukamara frequently gets eaten up on comebacks and other quick moves out of more vertical route concepts. Is so intent on following the ball at times that receivers can actually transition him out of coverage.
So, congratulations Giants fans you just got a big, physical corner who can't run with the Eagles receivers down field and has bad ball skills, I thought you already had 2 guys like that in Thomas and Webster? Please, let me know how Prince is going to do any better at defending DeSean and Maclin any better than Webster and Thomas did. And I'll be the first to admit that Webster and Thomas are good players too. Personally I can't wait for a CB who struggles in transition, lacks deep speed and ball skills gets to cover DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin. Just remember this, you may have gotten a Prince but DeSean is still King.
And I know what you Giants fans are thinking as you read this "Yeah but I bet you loved him before the draft!" To which I reply "Uhhh… No."
Prince Amukamara is going to start for a long time but I don't think he is ever going to be a 'shut down #1' like Nnamdi or Revis. To me Prince is very similar to Quentin Jammer.
He ran a 4.38 at the combine but that speed doesn't translate to the field. Prince isn't the most fluid corner ever and he can be beaten deep. I've seen Prince beaten up by Justin Blackmon and be beaten badly by Jake Locker and Kearse on Washington.
And ask anyone here, I've been knocking Prince and pimping out Jimmy Smith for months now. I'm THRILLED the Eagles didn't get to take Prince. And you know what the best part is? The Eagles got a guy whose skill set is nearly identical to Prince's only with more fluid hips in the third round.
Prince Amukamara
Curtis Marsh
Arm Length
Hand Size
40 Yard Dash
Vertical Jump
Broad Jump
20 Yard Shuttle
3 Cone Drill
Physically, they're nearly clones. Prince is a tad bit heavier and faster but Marsh is more fluid, has better arm length (which will benefit him in press coverage) and is just a bit taller. Both were originally running backs coming out of high school. Both have only been playing corner for two years. The only difference is that Amukamara played at a bigger school and has been coached better (he is more polished than Marsh).
And their games are similar too, only Marsh is more fluid and displays better trail speed on the field.
Here is the scouting report from Wes Bunting on both of them:
A good athlete for his size who possesses good instincts in coverage and has a real feel for the pass game. Does a nice job quickly locating the football, putting his foot in the ground and clicking and closing on the pass in front of him. Possesses compact footwork in his drop when asked to play in off and does a nice job keeping his feet under him and quickly driving on throws. Improved his overall pad level in his drop from a year ago, does a much better job sitting into his stance through the play and not popping upright the longer he has to sit into his stance.
Lacks elite speed vertically down the field when asked to turn and run, will allow receivers to get behind him and doesn't possess the type of second gear to routinely make up for a false step. Possesses a little tightness in the hips when asked to turn and run, but is able to cleanly change directions and looks really comfortable smoothly getting out of his breaks and closing on the throw. Is an improved tackler from last season, has a physical element to his game, breaks down well and will stick his head in and wrap up.
Looked a lot more poised when asked to play in press coverage in 2010 as well. Did a much better job being patient off the line, using the proper hand to initially press with and was able to sit into his stance and maintain balance laterally through the play. However, doesn't play as physical vs. bigger, stronger wideouts at times and gets content playing press-bail, which will get himself in some trouble trying to play more like a finesse corner. Is fluid when asked to turn and run and his combination of balance, footwork and strength off the line makes him really difficult to separate from even initially into routes. However, he does get a bit grabby at times down the field and will get caught stopping his feet when looking back for the football, allowing receivers to get behind him.
Impression: A fluid, balanced corner who possesses only average deep speed, but looks like a guy capable of starting at a number of spots in an NFL secondary. However, I don't think he will ever be a real blue-chip corner.
A former running back who made the switch to cornerback in the spring of 2009. Saw only four starts there as a junior but really came on with a productive 2010 season, earning second-team all-conference honors, becoming one of the nation's leaders in pass break-ups. Showcases decent natural flexibility off the line of scrimmage. Has the ability to sit into his stance and at times will get a bit bent over at the waist. Showcases good patience off the line in press coverage, doesn't open up the gate prematurely, does a nice job using proper hand placement when asked to get into defenders and has the ability to re-route off the line. Gets a bit leggy initially in his drop — this is when he will double over at times at the waist — and will allow himself to get a bit overextended off the line. However, possesses good fluidity in the hips when asked to redirect, regains balance quickly and displays a good initial burst to stay in receivers' back pockets out of his breaks and down the field.
Showcases good speed down the field. Has a tendency to lose balance at times, getting overextended in press when he is forced to let go and turn to run down the field, causing him to lose balance and give up some separation vertically. However, displays a good feel of routes off the line in press, is an instinctive corner and has the fluidity to open up his hips and run with explosive receivers down the field or redirect, maintain balance and close in the three-step game. Displays the ability to make up for a false step and exhibits the coordination to go up and use his length to knock the football away at its highest point. Isn't overly physical as a striker, but has a willingness to stick his head in and is a solid wrap-up guy. Breaks down well after completions underneath and uses his length to wrap and bring his guy to the ground. Isn't as comfortable in off coverage at this stage because of his lacking technique and polish in his drop, doesn't have great click and close ability, but displays a good enough feel in his limited experience to warrant some interest as a zone corner as well.
Impression: For a guy who has only played the positions for two seasons, he did a great job vs. a very talented Boise State wide receiving corps, being physical off the line, turning to run and making plays on the ball down the field. He's still raw with his footwork, but has a lot of upside to his game and looks to me like a guy who could make a roster because he is a gifted size/speed kid as well.
I can't be the only one who sees the parallels there. And it's not just Wes Bunting either, check Russ Lande (Sporting News) a former NFL scout. Check SidelineScouting. Check Sports Illustrated. Check whatever you need to check. The only thing is that Marsh is a more fluid athlete while Amukamara is a more polished.
And then you drafted Marvin Austin which is just pure comedy. When I think of the Giants I think of a bunch of chokers and I have to say that Marvin Austin is going to fit right in. He is so terrible that NFL Network had to show practice film to actually find decent looking highlights of him. Don't get me wrong, the guy has talent and he is certainly an intriguing guy but he didn't play like a second rounder on the field. Probably your best pick so far though considering the Giants propensity for developing DL but considering Marvin Austin's work ethic, I'm betting against him. Like I said, he was your best pick but when you think about it, that's kind of sad.
And then you drafted Jernigan… Oh Jernigan. One of the most overrated players in this draft if you ask anyone who knows anything (hint, Scott Wright, the guy you linked to on your blog, doesn't) they would tell you that. It's hilarious that someone came over here and tried to compare Jernigan to DeSean Jackson. There is only a slight difference here, DeSean is actually a good player and he is a much better athlete. You just got a worse version of Dexter McCluster. The guy he most closely resembles is Chad Hall.
And again, I remind you that none of these opinions are new.
Marvin Austin DT North Carolina
Remember when I said Kenrick Ellis could be the most talented DT in the class? Well Marvin Austin could be too. He was a top 3 recruit coming out of high school. One publication I remember reading had him pegged as the second coming of Corey Simon. Marvin Austin's athleticism is certainly intriguing but he has had trouble transferring his elite athleticism to the field. He is every bit as talented as Nick Fairley and Marcell Dareus.
Jerell Jernigan WR Troy
-A guy who is way, way overrated. He looks to me like a guy who at best would be a slot receiver who can move around the offense. He can move into the backfield for some snaps and return kicks. I can't see him ever being a good starter on the outside.
So congrats Giants fans, enjoy your draft but I'm just here to let you know that while you draft overrated players based off of reputation the Eagles are busy drafting football players who are going to join in on the annual tradition of beating some New York Giant ass next year.

left of ambulance driver
tr right now
Pretty sure this route is actually "Red Tower of Pain" (TR Only) unless a more specific description is forthcoming. Cheers.
It is not the Red Tower of Pain, that is left of this line. This line shares the anchors with Ambulance Driver and starts immediately to the left of Ambulance Driver. It is literally just 3' left of Ambulance Driver. Red Tower of Pain is a steep line that starts up some overhanging choss which leads up to a vertical arette.

Hm, well, maybe. Hell, probably. Come on. The guy is a white good ol' boy from Yazoo City, Mississippi who came of age towards the grudging end of segregation in the South*. It's kind of hard to imagine he's not racist. But I'm not sure that's the right question to ask, though asking that question is certainly appropriate (and whatever you do, don't ask it of his brother, who provides far too predictable and revolting an answer). At least with respect to politics and the future, it may not be the appropriate focus.
Barbour recently had a lengthy profile in the Weekly Standard (I confess, I have not read all of it yet; you need to take the Weekly Standard in small doses... but I will eventually get through the whole thing). As with any profile of a southern politician, the subject of race came up.
Governor Barbour has gotten some grief for recounting his story of a visit paid to Yazoo City by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a teenager when Dr. King spoke there, and he, well, did what teenage boys do, and said as much. I grudgingly agree with Howard Kurtz that this in and of itself is not that big a deal -- and in fact, is somewhat refreshingly honest.
Where the governor found himself in hot water, and quite deservedly so, was his seemingly all-too-casual dismissal of race issues in his home town, and specifically, his praise of a racist organization which was started as a rival to the Ku Klux Klan, and was formed to fight against Brown v. Board of Education. Talking Points Memo has a pretty good timeline of Barbour's no good very bad day here, all the way through to his inevitable walk-back from those remarks. When people will ask if Barbour is racist in the future, they'll reference this day -- a lot. As we all should.
So... what was Haley Barbour, a top-shelf, well-credentialed politician possibly thinking when he said this seemingly careless thing?
I'll give you a hint:
There you have it.
Others have used the phrase "dog whistle," and I'd have to agree, again grudgingly (really? Dave Weigel? Really?), and only to a point.
I don't see much of a need to rake Barbour over the coals for saying clumsy things about race once in a while. The pattern revealed by his "gaffes," though, is of a politician who thinks racism isn't really a problem anymore, and that liberals get too much political leverage from the memory of the Civil Rights era.
Yeah, that's awfully intellectual. Painfully so, in fact. My guess is that Barbour was drawing first blood for the GOP presidential nomination by signalling to the GOP base, ie, white, middle-class Americans who harbor resentment not just of Obama, but of his whole complex racial identity as well (where the seed of birthirism was germinated, you might say).
For too long I've been seeing the media parody two political extremes. You're either a liberal progress-o-hippie Obama-bot with long hair and a patchuli aroma, or a racist Tea Party freakshow decked out in a "Don't Tread on Me" t-shirt and red, white, and blue face paint. Granted, this is breaking down to a degree with a more pragmatic wing on the Democratic side asking for more time and understanding for Obama's accomplishments and position (a case he makes infinitely more difficult with stuff like indefinite detention orders... sigh...). And it already broke down on the GOP side with the Tea Baggers taking over this last election and sabotaging the careers of a lot of moderate Republicans.
In short, I believe there is a vast base, if you will, of Republicans, independents, and even Democrats (many of whom supported Hillary Clinton in '08, to begin with), who aren't overt Tea Party racists, but have a deep distrust of Obama, and even a vague discomfort. It is not necessarily rooted in race, and this was, I think, Barbour's approach. I was too young and to be all into that civil rights stuff!
Savvy, I have to say. Disgusting, revolting, unacceptable -- but savvy. It'd have been a lot more savvy if he didn't go overboard covering for the racists in his home town.
Does this sink Barbour? No way. Barbour is one of a couple of Republicans I take deadly seriously for 2012 (John Thune is another). This incident excepted, he's got all the right moves.
And if it turns out that race issues dog him as he makes his run over the next couple of years, well, there is one thing he could to snuff that problem, and fast. All he'd have to do is pick a sort of post-racial, if you will, talented young Republican who is, well, not white.
I already know who's on that very short list. Do you?
Here's your hint:
See you in Tampa, Governor Barbour. I'm sure Senator Rubio will greet you upon arrival.
*with thanks to Stephen for the correction.

Now that three weeks have passed since UFC 143, which saw Carlos Condit become the UFC Interim Welterweight Champion by defeating Nick Diaz, a lot of the drama, which includes the highly debated decision in the main event between Diaz and Condit, and Diaz' post-fight positive drug test, has simmered down, Carlos Condit can get back to enjoying his accomplishment.
That accomplishment, is becoming the first World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) champion to successfully win an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) world title since the organization closed up shop in 2010.
Prior to "The Natural Born Killer" joining the UFC, he was on an eight fight win streak which included four title fights in the WEC, along with three straight title defenses.
His UFC debut, however, was not a successful one, as he lost a razor thin split decision to Martin Kampmann at UFC Fight Night: "Condit vs. Kampmann" on April 1, 2009, in a fight many believed should have gone Condit's way.
Since that setback three years ago, Condit has been on a tear, winning five consecutive fights over a who's-who of welterweights including Jake Ellenberger, Rory MacDonald, Dan Hardy and the aforementioned Nick Diaz, winning 13 of his last 14 bouts in the process.
Now, Condit finds himself at a standstill. That's because he is currently undecided as to what his next move will be.
He can either wait for current UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre to finish up his rehab, or possibly defend his title against perennial top contender Jake Ellenberger, who finds himself on a six fight win streak and has not lost in over two years since dropping a split decision to, you guessed it, Carlos Condit.
"The Natural Born Killer" spoke to MMAmania.com about what it's like to be a WEC and UFC champion, as well as his future plans in the UFC's 170-pound division.
Check it out:
In 2010, after the UFC absorbed all of the WEC's talent into its own roster, the promotion created two new divisions and crowned reigning WEC champions Jose Aldo and Dominick Cruz the first ever UFC Featherweight and Bantamweight champions, respectively, without ever having competed in the promotion.
Anthony Pettis, the WEC's 155-pound champion, lost his chance at UFC gold when he was defeated by Clay Guida at The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale, ending his hopes of a title unification bout against lightweight kingpin, Frankie Edgar.
Condit, the WEC's Welterweight champion, on the other hand, did not receive an immediate title shot nor did he receive a belt.
Instead, he reeled off five wins in the promotion, including "Fight of the Night" and "Knockout of the Night" performances in three consecutive bouts before earning his shot at grabbing UFC gold. Making the most of his opportunity, Condit defeated Nick Diaz at UFC 143 to join Frank Shamrock as the only two fighters to win a title in both organizations and the first to do so since the merger, something Carlos says he is very proud of.
"It feels great. When I got into the UFC, that was my goal, was to have two belts. I defended every time I fought for the WEC belt, so basically I'm still WEC champ because I never lost it and now I'm the interim UFC champion and it feels great."
After winning the interim title at UFC 143, Condit's next move should have been a title unification bout with UFC 170-pound champion, Georges St. Pierre. However, due to all the backlash and criticism received after his victory over Diaz, "The Natural Born Killer" accepted a rematch with the Stockton bad boy in order to silence his critics yet again.
However, one failed drug test by Diaz ended all hopes of the rematch.
Condit is now, once again, expected to face St. Pierre as soon as "Rush" is deemed fit to return to action and would love nothing more to get his chance at dethroning "GSP" and removing the interim tag. However, if it means too long of a wait, Carlos would prefer to stay active and potentially take another fight in the meantime.
"It all depends on GSP and when he will be back. I would like to stay busy. If he won't be back until the end of the year like December, then I may take another fight. But if it's sooner than that then I will wait for him. I'm good health wise, I had some minor stuff I was dealing with before UFC 143, and the fight just kind of aggravated things, but for the most part nothing serious."
It's widely believed the Jake Ellenberger punched his ticket to the top of the number one contender's list when he defeated Condit's training partner, Diego Sanchez, at UFC on Fuel TV on Feb 15, 2012.
With the uncertainty of GSP's return, Condit will keep playing the waiting game for the foreseeable future as the UFC 170-pound division plays itself out further as Josh Koscheck and Johny Hendricks are scheduled to tangle on UFC on Fox 3 in May in a bout that could produce yet another challenger for the 170-pound title.
For now, Condit may be sharing the top of the Welterweight mountain, but has no problems taking on any and all comers in order to prove he deserves to stand at the top all by himself.

I highly recommend this lodge, it is absolutely beautiful and you can come and go around the resort as you wish, nice river and places to sit outside by the river. The room was nice, clean.

The first parts of the prediction are coming true.
The economy has slowed through the first half of the year. The latest GDP numbers were the slowest since the crisis.
And the gas pedal is being pumped.
China has cut interest rates aggressively.
State direct stimulus spending is starting to crank up again.
And now, according to FT, China has just cut taxes by 50% on foreign entities investing directly in China.
The full on press to lift the economy off of a hard landing is on.
Now we'll see if the numbers rebound.

Never Give Up In life

There will be testing times for us when we face too many difficult problems in life and we have to struggle to get over those problems
Tough Day's in Life
There are many testing circumstances in our life when we have to be patient enough to face that. God will give us troubles and problems but only to make us strong enough so that we can face any problem in life without any hassles. We got to be very strong at these times as everybody cannot withstand it. These moments are very tough to pass and only our belief, will power and of course faith in god will help us to sail through these problems.During these tough day's even our most trusted friends will not be with us as most of these so called friends will be around us only during happier times and not in these darker times of life which is a true fact of life.
Parents Should Protect Children
Children will not be having the right kind of maturity to deal with problems at their very young age and this is the time many of them even surrender to pressure. Parents should be alert all the time to see if their children are facing any kind of serious problems in their life as this will help them a lot to deal with them. If you cannot find any problem but still not able to see your children in full swing, there might be something wrong and you will have to talk to their parents or even their lecturers to find what it is. Without making any effort on your side, sometimes it really becomes difficult to tackle such problems in life which you have to understand.
Getting Over Problems
Facing any problem is a part of your life and just you cannot escape from that. You have to take some time to think and act when the problems are very tough. If you don't take time to act on difficult situations and just take the pressure out of these so called problems, you will have definite problems which cannot be solved easily at all. Nothing is impossible in this world as each and every thing is temporary and even these problems are only for short term. If you think positively, anything can be solved quite easily . You should have strong determination and will power to solve any type of problem and learn to never give up in your life. Don't depend on others to solve your problems and learn to solve your problem by yourselves how much ever tough your problems might be. BY staying positive and working hard all the time, you will be a very strong person in life

"I would love to see us have in this country what I helped lead in Arkansas...Amendment 65 (which) says that we believe life begins at conception, and that we ought to do everything in the world possible to protect it until its natural conclusion."
Mike Huckabee on Wednesday, September 5th, 2007 in a debate in Durham, N.H.
He exaggerates effects of constitutional amendment
Here's what it says: "The policy of Arkansas is to protect the life of every unborn child from conception until birth, to the extent permitted by the federal Constitution."
Huckabee's statement that the amendment says "everything in the world possible" must be done to protect the unborn is pretty sharply limited by the phrase "to the extent permitted by the federal Constitution." At the moment, the Roe v. Wade decision means the federal Constitution permits abortion.
It also is a slight overstatement to say the Arkansas amendment declares a belief that life begins at conception, though that certainly is implied.
We also would note that he got the amendment number wrong. It is Amendment 68 that deals with abortion.
Amendment 65 deals with revenue bonds.
Editor's note: This statement was rated Barely True when it was published. On July 27, 2011, we changed the name for the rating to Mostly False.

Roberts' brace keeps Chesham's winning run going
9:22am Monday 17th February 2014 in Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
DREW Roberts is now the Southern League's top scorer as his brace gave promotion chasing Chesham United another win on Saturday.
The in-form striker made it 26 for the season as he notched a goal in each half of the Generals' 2-1 home victory against Frome Town.
He opened the scoring on the stroke of half time from the penalty spot, before the visitors hit back to level through Matt Groves.
Roberts won it though as he headed home from a free kick rewarded as a result of Rhys Baggridge being shown his second yellow card.
Elsewhere Marlow won their first game in three weeks, with Jon Bennett scoring twice as Blues overturned an early deficit to beat Dunstable 2-1, and Chalfont St Peter drew 1-1 at home to Uxbridge. The near neighbours go head-to-head at Oak Tree Road tomorrow.
Beaconsfield SYCOB's trip to St Ives on Saturday was postponed. They go to Aylesbury United tomorrow.

Third-round charm
Originally published: Jun 5, 2014 - 1:08 pm
And that's why Tyrann Mathieu shocked me last year. Not because of the success he had on the field, not because of how many footballs he got his hands on during OTAs, not even because Todd Bowles started him in nickel packages before playing a single game. Badger shocked me because of how people were speaking about him before he ever put the Sunday silks on.
John Brown is drawing the same kind of praise. I had a grizzled veteran tell me the kid is telling other players what to do and where to line up. Bruce Arians says the kid stays off the Accountability Board, the board where every mental error a player makes during practice is posted for his teammates to see. Many players bring his name up without context. Carson Palmer has taken a shine to the kid from Pittsburg State, recognizing the potential of Steve Keim's 3rd-round pick.
Get ready for 11 personnel, especially during run downs (1st & 10, 2nd & 1-6). 11 personnel puts three wide receivers on the field with a TE and RB. Although I believe Ted Ginn, Jr. will be the starting #3 receiver (another guy that is having a great offseason), I believe the Cards will have an 11 personnel package specific to John Brown as the #3 receiver.
This kid, like Tyrann Mathieu, may be rare.
He has exceptional speed. At Indianapolis, he recorded the penultimate time in the 40, finishing second only to Brandin Cooks' 4.33. He catches the ball with daggers, picking the pig from the air with firm, strong hands. He's quick and precise in his routes which, when combined with his diminutive frame, makes him the quintessential slot-receiver.
Mathieu was picked in the 3rd round and so was Brown. The best thing is that's not the only thing they have in common: they're both ta'veren (Google it my young Crunks).

This one was really, and unexpected cloudy, orange and nearly brown nuances, an off-white head with little lacing.
The smell was sweetish, honey and apricots.
Tasting of sweet fruit soup, a metallic bitterness.
Light carbonation, a bit coarse, medium body and a dry finish.
Unbalanced and with chemical tones.

3.35/5 rDev +20.1%
This beer arrives in a pint glass on the bar, and appears a slightly hazy pale golden, with one finger of thin wispy white head, which leaves no lace as it melts away. It smells of freshly malted grain, like when you walk past a microbrewery on malting day. The taste is mild sweet biscuity white grain, a bit of fruitiness, and earthy hops. The carbonation is on the low side, the body fairly decent, a bit of oiliness in there, and it finishes dry, and fairly crisp. A decent pint for a warm Montreal Sunday summer evening, after getting soaked in the rain all day. Zut alors!

3.08/5 rDev +10.4%
Poured a medium straw hue with a half finger foamy white head. There was decent retention and lacing.
The smell featured a buttery diacytl and a light grainy malt.
The taste was upfront buttery with a husky grain and flowery hop.
The mouthfeel was of average fullness for the style.
Overall a decent ale with some off flavors.
04-22-2009 15:25:53 | More by plaid75
1.58/5 rDev -43.4%
A-Poured a clear golden straw w/light head.
S-Sweet mealy grain, creamed corn, possible traces of diacetyl.
T-Creamed corn, sweet grain, light fruit. Taste does not change much across the palate, and I discerned no hop character in the finish.
M-Carbonation was somewhat inadequate, and sweet grainy character went unchecked, contributing to imbalance. There were almost no hops to offer any counterweight, and the result was a slightly nauseating sweetness that did little to satisfy. Light body closely matched style.
D-I found this hard to drink, but my wife, who prefers lighter-flavored brews w/little hop bitterness, found it very enjoyable. I suppose it's "extra" because it's extra light, not extra blonde. Learned after a conversation w/a more experienced beer drinker that creamed corn may be sign of DMS.

2.88/5 rDev +3.2%
This beer was one of the best selling beers I think. I saw a lot of people ordering this one. Maybe for beer novices this is just a small step towards craft beer.
Color was golden with a small head, or actually just a small layer of foam. Little carbonation.
Smell was 'decent', I mean that everything was in there but just enough to just smell it. There was some malt, some hops en some yeast products. This was also the case with the taste, easy drinkable, low bitterness, low body and just a slight different taste than a lager.
O well, maybe every brewery needs this kind of beer to draw those Coors light fanatics.

March 13, 2006
Albany -- After a court order, the head of the Child Abuse Protocol Committee sets Friday as the date for the group to meet. Thursday, Superior Court Chief Judge Loring Gray said Open Arms Director Beth McKenzie violated state statues by not holding meetings of the committee.
The Committee is made up of agencies that help child abuse victims, from the sheriff's department to DEFACs.
Since McKenzie was appointed chairperson in 2004, she's failed to hold a single meeting. So Judge Gray order her to call a meeting within ten days. She's now set that meeting for this Friday at 2:00.
The court documents order McKenzie to be prepared to tell committee members why she's not done her job as chairperson and why she should keep that position.

Q. Don't you think it is counterproductive to advertise so many drugs on TV and at the end of the commercial it says "may cause cancer"?
We are battling cancer every day with so many people affected by this terrible disease. They list the side effects of each drug and the different kinds of cancer that the drug causes. How dare these pharmaceutical companies advertise and reap monies when so many people are suffering from cancer because of the drugs they advertise? Shame, shame on them. Josie
A. Josie, we too find it astonishing when a drug company broadcasts a TV commercial and throws in cancer as a potential side effect as if it is not that big a deal.
What surprises us even more, though, is how many medications have been linked to cancer. The FDA doesn't seem fazed by this kind of information. The agency includes cancer warnings in the official prescribing information of lots of medicines. That leaves physicians and patients in a quandary as to what to make of these sorts of pronouncements.
Skin creams prescribed for eczema such as Elidel (pimecrolimus cream) and Protopic (tacrolimus cream) carry a cancer warning. So do drugs that belong to a class of medications called TNF (tumor necrosis factor) blockers that are prescribed for serious conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, juvenile arthritis, plaque psoriasis or ankylosing spondylitis. Drugs in this class include: Cimzia, Enbrel, Humira and Remicade.
You can imagine what a double bind patients and families are put in when they read warnings about "lymphomas and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers..."
In recent months there have been several worrisome reports about certain popular categories of blood pressure medicines. The most recent article was published in JAMA Internal Medicine (online, Aug 5, 2013). Calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) are among the most widely prescribed antihypertensive drugs in the pharmacy. They include amlodipine, felodipine and verapamil.
The epidemiological study in question uncovered a relationship between the long-term use of these drugs (more than 10 years) and a risk for invasive ductal or lobular breast cancer.
This study was not designed to tell if the connection is causal. Such epidemiological research cannot prove cause and effect. But this is not the first time CCBs have been linked to breast cancer. The investigators caution that women should not panic and stop taking their blood pressure pills. But those with other risk factors for breast cancer should discuss this study with their physicians, since the type of medicine taken for hypertension can often be changed. Other classes of blood pressure medication showed no association with breast cancer.
The authors conclude:
"In summary, this study provides evidence that long-term recent use of calcium-channel blockers may be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Further efforts to confirm this association are needed and are of public health importance, given that antihypertensive drugs are the most commonly prescribed class of medication in the United States."
Another raging controversy involves a class of blood pressure drugs called ARBs (angiotensin receptor blockers. These are also highly prescribed and include:
- Atacand (candesartan)
- Avapro (irbesartan)
- Benicar (olmesartan)
- Cozaar (losartan)
- Diovan (valsartan)
- Edarbi (azilsartan)
- Micardis (telmisartan)
- Teveten (eprosartan)
An FDA safety reviewer has analyzed data regarding ARBs and concluded that such drugs were linked to a 24% increased risk of lung cancer. Executives within the FDA have downplayed the controversy and have opted not to issue any new warnings about cancer.
From our vantage point it often seems as if the FDA views such data quite impersonally. But as Irving Selikoff, MD, once said, "Statistics are people with the tears wiped away." We recently received the following message from a visitor to this website:
"My parents were lifelong non-smokers. My mother just passed away this spring of lung cancer. She'd been taking Micardis for at least four years. Could that have contributed to the cancer?"
We have no way of knowing whether this ARB contributed to or caused this woman's lung cancer. And that is the problem with most studies. Cancer is common. Blood pressure prescriptions are common. If there is an association between the two, it is hard to prove.
Hopefully the FDA will take such concerns seriously because such warnings leave both patients and physicians in a terrible double bind. We want to control serious conditions such as hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. But we do not want to have to weigh successful treatment of these problems against a potential risk of cancer down the road. If there is a real risk of cancer we need to know. If the risk is meaningless we should be told that so that we no longer need worry. Leaving us in limbo is unacceptable.
