Unemployment remains flat from April
By Staff Reports | PA Independent
HARRISBURG — A busy week at the Pennsylvania statehouse started off with a late night, when House lawmakers stayed until 10:30 p.m. Monday debating the pros and cons of privatizing the state's liquor sales, only to refrain from voting.
But the next day, state business continued with news of potential lottery privatization, as well as plans to change the state's pension system for future employees. Lawmakers also are negotiating the final details of the state budget, which must be passed by the end of June.
No matter the business, a new poll shows Pennsylvanian voters are watching this administration, with approval ratings for Gov. Tom Corbett hitting an all-time low.
Budget talks continue as June 30 deadline looms
Though some Republican lawmakers said the state budget would be done by June 13, that date came and went without a final plan.
Lawmakers gave few details about the issues at the center of their negotiations amongst themselves and with the Corbett administration, but said a final spending figure had not been agreed upon.
"It will probably be a few days until we meet with" Corbett, said House Speaker Sam Smith, R-Jefferson, as he left a meeting with GOP House and Senate leaders Wednesday afternoon.
State Sen. Pat Browne, R-Lehigh, said the situation was too fluid to make a guess at when the final package might be ready.
"We're still putting together a final amendment that we can present to the governor," Browne said.
Corbett proposed a budget of $27.1 billion in February, but the state Senate upped that total to $27.6 billion with its version of the budget last month.
Tuesday, Corbett said he was open to adding money to the budget above his proposal, but reiterated his view of the state Senate figure as a "ceiling."
Democrats were shut out of the closed-door meeting, but have been calling for an increase in state spending on public education, higher education and social services at the county level.
Unemployment rate remains flat from April
Pennsylvania's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 7.4 percent in May, unchanged from April, according to figures from the Department of Labor and Industry.
For more than four years, Pennsylvania's jobless rate has remained below the national rate, which was 8.2 percent in May.
The number of people working or looking for work in the state increased to 6.45 million, up 23,000 from April.
The sector with the largest job growth in May was the professional and business services industry, with a gain of 1,800 jobs. Leisure and hospitality lost 4,300 jobs, the largest drop for any industry in May.
Liquor privatization vote postponed until Monday, maybe longer
Speculation on when lawmakers will vote on a plan to privatize liquor sales continues after hours of House floor debate ended Monday without a vote.
The vote on a measure proposed by House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, also failed to show in Tuesday and Wednesday sessions, but Turzai said it could happen Monday.
Meanwhile, union opposition to the bill remains strong, though members protesting the bill at the Capitol refused to claim victory Wednesday.
"It may be an anachronism, but it works for Pennsylvania," said United Food and Commercial Workers member Richard Granger of the state-owned and operated liquor store system.
The Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, one of the largest labor unions in the state, among others, sent notices to members asking them to call lawmakers about the liquor privatization bill.
PA lottery privatization plans move ahead
This week, the state's Department of Revenue announced the Corbett administration is making headway on plans to privatize the Pennsylvania Lottery.
The department received responses for a request for qualifications to explore a private management agreement. The next step in the sealed bidding process will last three to four months, according to a news release from the Department of Revenue.
"We've determined it's appropriate to take the next steps and move into a due diligence phase of the project, where qualified bidders and the commonwealth will interact to learn about each other's business, explore ideas on improving operations and maximizing Lottery profit, and determine what a private management agreement for the Pennsylvania Lottery might look like," said Department of Revenue Secretary Dan Meuser in the news release.
The company that provides the state with gaming systems and instant games, Scientific Games, has agreed to be involved in the conversation as plans for privatization continue.
House passes amendments to Wiretap Act
Proposed updates to the state's wiretap law has some wondering if Pennsylvania is helping its law enforcement agencies track criminals or lowering expectations of privacy.
The state House passed House Bill 2400 on Wednesday afternoon with a 145-to-52 vote.
The bill amends Act 18, commonly known as the Wiretap Act, by broadening the legal circumstances under which civilians can record oral communication without consent, and how recordings can be used as evidence in the criminal court system, among around a dozen new provisions and updates.
Despite some provisions designed to help law enforcement agencies do their jobs, Democratic and Republican legislators voiced concern about how additional changes in the act could lead to problems down the road.
But those who support the bill say it will help law enforcement use modern technology to track criminals and obtain evidence.
"Our laws fail to reflect the current technology to their advantage," said the bill's sponsor, state Rep. Ron Marsico, R-Dauphin. "Technology has made advances that law enforcement is not able to keep up with."
Tax credit school choice plan may replace vouchers
A bipartisan group of Pennsylvania lawmakers are planning for a final push that could give about 30,000 students a way out of the state's poorest performing school districts.
State Rep. Jim Christiana, R-Allegheny, is supporting legislation that would create a business tax credit program to fund scholarships for students in the 15 percent worst performing school districts. (Click here to read a memo outlining the proposal)
The plan would mirror the Education Improvement Tax Credit program, which directs business contributions to scholarship accounts for students from families who make less than $75,000 annually.
The new plan would be called the Education Improvement Scholarship Credit.
The EITC would remain on schedule to increase to $200 million next year, but Christiana's proposed program would be capped at $100 million the first year and grow to $200 million by the third year, he said Monday.
"It's an attractive program for those who want to get students out of violent, failing schools," Christiana said.
Corbett and Senate Republicans spent most of last year pressing for a voucher program that would direct some state tax dollars from public schools to scholarships for low-income students in failing schools.
Voter poll shows Corbett disapproval rating grew
A meager 36 percent of voters approve of the way the first-term governor and former Pennsylvania attorney general is doing his job, compared with 47 percent who disapprove, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday.
Corbett's approval rating is down from an all-time high of 50 percent based on a September Quinnipiac poll.
But these figures don't bother Corbett — he doesn't read polls, he said.
"If I was looking at the polls, I wouldn't be doing some of the things I'm doing, would I?" Corbett said.
Of the Democrats polled, 68 percent disapprove of Corbett's time in office compared with 26 percent of Republicans and 45 percent of independents. Corbett also has a better reputation with men, with 40 percent approving, compared with 32 percent of women approving.
VIDEO: Corbett signs unemployment compensation reform bill
Corbett signed a bill into law Tuesday that will let the commonwealth pay off nearly $4 billion in federal debt.
The bill, passed by both chambers last week, allows Pennsylvania to refinance the debt it owes to the federal government's Unemployment Trust Fund by borrowing a $4.5 billion bond, which has a lower interest rate.
The bill also includes eligibility tweaks that will save the state millions in unemployment benefits by limiting access to around 50,000 workers.
Corbett described the debt payoff as an economic stimulus, since businesses have paid extra taxes to cover the debt and associated interest. Now, Corbett said, they can put those funds toward hiring people.
"Most importantly, the bill protects our workers while taking away a burden that has slowed job growth and investment," he said. "Unemployment compensation reform really equals jobs. It's that simple. And that's what I talk about all the time is creating jobs in Pennsylvania."
GOP pension plan would give incentive for current workers to leave state system
A group of Republican lawmakers want to move all future state employees into a new retirement plans as a way to stop the increasing unfunded liability that is becoming a lead weight around Pennsylvania's budgetary neck.
The proposal contained in House Bills 2452 and 2453, which state Rep. Warren Kampf, R-Chester, introduced Tuesday in the state House, will not reduce the unfunded liability in the state's two major pension systems, but promises long-term savings by moving employees out of the unsustainable pension systems.
According to the bill, all new employees would be entered into a defined contribution plan, similar to 401(k) plans used in the private sector where each employee can make their own decisions about investing and saving for retirement.
All employees would receive a 4 percent employer contribution to a retirement account and would have to make at least a 4 percent contribution on their own. Existing employees would not be required to change plans, but if they voluntarily moved to the new plan, they would receive a 7 percent employer contribution as an incentive.
"This plan provides change. It says to the taxpayers, we are smart enough now to know that we can't keep adding people to the system because it only makes the problem worse," Kampf said.
Taken together, the State Employees Retirement System and Public School Employees Retirement System are facing nearly $40 billion in unfunded liabilities, and contributions to the systems by the state and school districts will nearly triple in the next four years — from $1.6 billion to $4 billion.

T-Break has a review of another Nforce3 250 GB, the Gigabyte K8NSNXP. Interesting how different vendors are configuring their boards. For example, looks like this 250 GB is not using the Integrated Gigabit functionality. Appears that they have decided to use it on the PCI bus to simplify the production of their various models of Nforce3. Not as though you are likely to be able to use Gigabit much anyway, but still...

Quote: "ALTHOUGH NVIDIA'S nForce2 chipset was a darling of the enthusiast and gaming community, the
company's nForce3 150 didn't fare so well. The nForce3 150 for was available as early as the

OCFAQ has reviewed the Nforce3 board fom Gigabyte, the K8N Pro. They take a look at the package, run the benchmarks, then overclock it some and run some more. Give it a look.
The main theme behind what Gigabyte has done is to take a less than
spectacular chipset and make the best of it. Through excellent overclocking,
solid reliability, and every onboard option one could desire, the K8N Pro
goes a long way torwards distinguishing itself as a leader in what is a
mostly leader-less platform. The usual Abit/Asus domination is not present,

"The GA-8S655FX Ultra is an excellent performing board and it does
pose a
threat to Intel's mainstream i865 platform with its value pricetag.
From the

Abit AN7 Motherboard Review
Subject: Motherboards | March 24, 2004 - 08:57 PM | Geoff Baker
The Tech Report takes a look at the Abit AN7 and all the uGuru flash. Paired up against an A7N8X, the benchmarks are all here.
IT MAY NOT HAVE THE FLASH of its 64-bit brethren, but there's still
performance potential left in the Athlon XP. This point was certainly proven
by our recent look at overclocking the Athlon XP-M 2500+, in which we managed
2400MHz without much difficulty.
Of course, taking advantage of that potential requires the right equipment,
and that starts with the motherboard.

Lincoln Highway celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2013: This year our corn maze design commemorates 100 years since the Lincoln Highway opened as one of the first improved transcontinental highways in the U.S. and forever changed the way Americans saw their country.
The first Seedling Mile of this historic highway was laid right here in Malta, Illinois as a test of construction techniques and materials, and to provide citizens with a sample of what an improved hard surface road could offer.
The following is courtesy of Malta historian Ivan Prall: "By late October, the project had run out of funds. Originally scheduled for one mile, a local farmer named Frederic Willrett, living 1/10 of a mile west of the starting point by Malta's Cemetery; donated $1,000 on the condition the seedling mile ran the extra 1/10 mile to his driveway. Today the blue signs put out by the Illinois Department of Transportation mark this beginning and end of the Seedling Mile."
Test your orienteering skills and try not to get lost in the 10 acre corn maze with 3 miles of pathways and two bridges. The maze will be open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from August 31st through October 27th. Regular Corn Maze hours are Fridays and Saturday 10 AM to 9:30 PM, Sundays 10 AM to 6 PM. The maze will also be open Labor Day and Columbus Day.
We will also be having our annual Scouting weekend Sept 7 and 8 with 50% off admission to the maze to all Scouts and their families. Scouts can camp overnight in our parking lot on Saturday Sept 7 and enjoy and after dark hayride and bonfires. There is no charge for overnight camping, for reservations please email email@example.com with your Unit number, contact name and estimated number of people.
Information for Scouting Weekend Overnight Campers 2013
Grand Opening weekend for the maze will be Labor Day weekend, August 31, September 1 and 2. During the Grand Opening weekend, everyone who finds their way out will receive an Apple Token, good for a ride on the Apple Train or a turn at the Apple Launcher or Apple Cannon.
The Haunting: We will be holding our Haunted Corn Maze for 9 nights this year. It will be open October 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 25 & 26. It will begin at Dark and end at 10:30 PM, 9:30 PM on Sunday October 13. The Haunted Corn Maze admission will be $10.00 for adults, $8.00 for kids 6 to 12. Flashlights will not be allowed in the Haunted Maze, only glowsticks or pen lights. In the event of rain we will be closed for the evening.

Ultimate Airliners: The Super 80 Professional is a highly advanced new addon product for MS Flight Simulator.
Ultimate Airliners: The Super 80 Professional is a complete aircraft and panel package which simulates the McDonnell Douglas MD-80.
The highly successful MD-80 series of aircraft produced by McDonnell Douglas started life in the early 1980s. Continuously through its production run which lasted until 1999, McDonnell Douglas upgraded the aircraft; more thrust, more fuel, better avionics.
Ultimate Airliners: The Super 80 Professional simulates the latest cockpit upgrade given to the MD-80 series, the Electronic Flight Deck (EFD); full EFIS with FMS, TCAS, Systems Display Panel, Engine Display Panel, and many more advanced systems.
The Super 80 Professional is designed to be an accurate and realistic simulation of the real aircraft. All systems in the aircraft are simulated with a very high level of accuracy to make the experience complete. Real MD-80 pilots will feel right at home.
The Super 80 Professional features the ground breaking Integrated Cockpit Training System (ICTS). The ICTS is an interactive, in-flight training system designed to teach you how to operate the aircraft while in the cockpit.
The process of learning to fly a new aircraft in MSFS has been totally reinvented with the ICTS. Whether you are a first time or seasoned simmer, jump straight into the cockpit and start flying now!
The Training Center is the starting point for all interactive training. You will find training guides for the checklists, various procedures/operations, EFIS, FMS, and other complex cockpit systems.
There are also 330+ pages in the Aircraft Operating Manual accompanying this product to help you fully understand all the aircraft systems.
The ICTS will guide you step-by-step through all the checklist and procedures you need to be familiar with as the pilot in command of this aircraft. You will learn how to operate the aircraft while in the cockpit, hands on, in-flight!
The Training Guide will tell you step-by-step exactly what to do to accomplish the items in a checklist, how to execute a specific procedure, or how to operate a complex system.
The Training Guide will also automatically open the appropriate panel windows and point out the relevant switches, knobs, gauges or system for you with bright yellow arrows and boxes.
The Training Guide allows you to learn in your own tempo. Click next when you are ready for the next item/operation, or step back to review previous items/operations.
The Super 80 Professional also features the Automatic Aircraft Configuration (AAC). The AAC system will automatically setup the aircraft and all systems, for the selected phase of flight, at the click of a button.
This feature is useful for both beginners, as well as the experienced simmer. Beginners may use the AAC feature for instant flight and fun! Simply hit "Cleared for Take-off" and off you go!
Experienced simmers may use the AAC feature in part of their training. For example, to practice shooting ILS approaches, position the aircraft, hit "Cleared to Land" and go nail that approach!
The Super 80 Professional comes with 8 high quality liveries sampling a variety of current MD-80 operators.
In addition to that, 16 high quality liveries by McPhat Studios featuring various operators from around the world are included in the release package. McPhat Studios specializes in creating weathered and worn looking aircraft with extremely high attention to detail.
Ultimate Airliners: The Super 80 Professional is published by Flight One Software in partnership with CoolSky.

Always a highlight on the film festival circuit - one of the world's most prestigious, and its director is a black man!
I'm talking about the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), and Cameron Bailey, its director, who travels the world almost year-round, discovering unknown titles to premiere at his premiere film festival.
You'll get the familiar and the not-so familiar. It's a festival I've yet to attend, but that I've wanted to for some time. And unfortunately, 2012 won't be the year I finally make my first trip. 2013 however, is more than likely.
Over the last 3 weeks, we've been highlighting films of interest to this blog, and will continue to do so, likely through and after the festival is over.
Earleir today TIFF unveiled titles in its Contemporary World Cinema, Wavelengths and Special Presentation categories. We'll be going through each list in search of Diasporic content not yet covered here (and at first glance, I saw a few, which is great; I always love discovering new titles). But before that, I'll quickly notify you of 4 titles we've covered quite a bit already, that will be screening at TIFF this year - one of them making it's international debut.
Those 4 films are Lee Daniels' The Paperboy (in the Special Presentation section; it will be released in USA theaters on October 5); Ava DuVernay's Middle Of Nowhere (making its international debut in the festival's Contemporary World Cinema section; it's set for an October 12 USA theatrical release); Austrian filmmaker Ulrich Seidl's drama Paradise: Love (also in the Contemporary World Cinema section); and finally the Egyptian drama Baad el Mawkeaa (After The Battle), directed by Yousry Nasrallah (also in the Contemporary World Cinema section).
Even though I won't be there personally, I'm planning to have some representation at the festival, so that we can get a few reviews, because there appear to be a number of interesting-looking titles we haven't seen, and thus haven't reviewed yet.

LYNN R. | August 14, 2012 6:48 PM
When it's all said and done, I believe this film will stand as one of the great black dramas ala Claudine, Mo Betta Blues, Nothing But A Man, Love Jones. I was at the second screening at Sundance, and luckily happened to be in LA for the big red-carpet last month at LA Film Festival. I jumped at the chance to see it again and enjoyed it just as much. I won't be at Toronto this year but anybody who is going to be there - white, black or purple who appreciates mature stories - will appreciate this film. - Lynn R.

This film seems to have some real steam behind it. I hope it fairs better than Pariah. I get scared for our directors when they start getting attention from the white world like this. I just hope they get treated right. I hope it doesn't get the short stick in the end. But this is great. Congratulations to them.

LONDON BASSIST needed in Prog Band!!
Hey guys I just joined! But basically, this is the story.
A band has been going for quite a while and is nearly complete. It is currently two guitarists, a drummer and a keyboardist, and so we are still in need of a bassist. Loads of material has been written. (mainly instrumentals up to this point because we are still in search of a signer). We are situated in London, normally jamming in South west London (Kingston) and west London (Acton), but will travel as long as it is reasonable. We need a bassist who can fill in that essential part of the music, and someone who can adapt to things quickly. We are an epic progressive band, with heavy, jazzy and funky grooves and we write mainly progressive rock/metal, but also ambience, jazz, blues, funk, anything that feels right!! If youre interested in joining the band as the bassist, email me for info at firstname.lastname@example.com. Material can be given to those interested, so get training and let us know if you want to join!
Influences include: Dream Theater, Symphony X, Pain of Salvation, Evergrey, Opeth, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, Devin Townsend, Threshold, and SO many artists from all of the different genres i mentioned! Get back to me! Peace
P.S i hope this is the right place to post. I did search around before posting so i think it is!
ah sorry :P i looked in here and i thought it was just for selling gear! thanks
Retarded queerfucks who like posting crap in this forum - the above post is exactly how you are supposed write these things.
Hope you find a decent bassist, you pommy bastard.
excuse me, i dont know what i've done, but was that insluting me?
It was a compliment, by someone who does not give compliments.
compliment? i cant see it. but ok
Damn, I hope you find one mate, I think you won't have much trouble though. You'll surely be able to see something in newspaper ads, especially in the capital. Good luck.
cheers dude. it isn't easy though. Trying to find someone in London, who is willing to be committed, and who is into the same style. we will keep searching though!
I figured those kinds bands are very big in the UK, I'm sure you'll find a load of people, just look at the right places like gigs and metal clubs/bars/etc.

The Big Ten Tournament is likely only going to get better the longer it goes, and Friday's quarterfinal round offers the biggest display of some of the country's high-tier teams.
It begins at noon ET on ESPN with the top-seeded Indiana Hoosiers taking on the eighth-seeded Illinois Fighting Illini, who got here thanks to Brandon Paul's buzzer-beating jumper, which ousted the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the first round Thursday.
In their only regular season meeting of the season, Illinois stunned Indiana with a last-second layup to win, 74-72, on Feb. 7.
The 2 p.m. ET game (also on ESPN) features another rematch of a classic regular season game, as the fifth-seeded Michigan Wolverines face the fourth-seeded Wisconsin Badgers. On Feb. 9 at the Kohl Center, Badgers' guard Ben Brust calmly nailed a half-courter as time expired to force overtime, where, after another huge three-pointer from Brust, Wisconsin went on to win, 65-62. The Wolverines, behind a strong second half, got by the Penn State Nittany Lions, 83-66, in the tournament's first round Thursday.
In the evening, the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes meet the tenth-seeded Nebraska Cornhuskers at 6:30 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network. Nebraska held on to get by the Purdue Boilermakers, 57-55, in the first round on Thursday, and now meet a Buckeyes team that rather comfortably swept the regular season series between the two teams.
Quarterfinal play wraps up with the third-seeded Michigan State Spartans taking on the No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes at 9 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network. Iowa can still make a case for the NCAA Tournament, and a win over Sparty would definitely not hurt their chances. The Hawkeyes built a 14-point first half lead against the Northwestern Wildcats in the first round and never looked back, cruising to a 73-59 win. On Jan. 10, Michigan State won on the road against Iowa, 62-59, in their only meeting of the regular season.
A full bracket can be found at the Big Ten's official site.

The 2013 NFL Pro Bowl teams will be announced at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday. Television coverage of the selections is available on NFL Network's NFL Total Access Pro Bowl Selection Show, and is available online through the Watch NFL Network service on NFL.com.
The Pro Bowl will again be played at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu on Jan. 27, the Sunday before the Super Bowl. This marks the fourth consecutive year that the game is being played the week before the league's championship game. This excludes any players who are on Super Bowl teams, so while selections may be made Wednesday, they will not be finalized until the week before the game.
Players are chosen through a mix of voting by coaches, players, and fans. Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning led all fan voting this year, edging out Patriots signalcaller Tom Brady and Texans running back Arian Foster for the honor. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson led NFC vote recipients, finishing ahead of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III.

text: Given Alvarez's early season woes, (which in my opinion he's trying too hard and not just reacting; instead he's thinking too much) does the value of Rendon, also a third baseman rise? The debate had been whether or not Rendon would be useful given that we have Alvarez. This is aside from the Rendon-Cole debate. Rendon advocates said Alvarez could just shift to first, but now that Alvarez is struggling, perhaps we don't have the third baseman of the future. Therefore, does Rendon become all that more important as insurance? Tell me what you guys think?

METAIRIE, La. ― Cornerbacks Tracy Porter and Jabari Greer returned to practice Thursday for the first time in more than a month, giving hope that one if not both could return in time for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh.
But while those two were back, neither Reggie Bush (right fibula) nor Pierre Thomas (left ankle) practiced.
Saints Head Coach Sean Payton said he read reports that said Bush won't play and while he didn't refute the notion, he didn't say they weren't right.
"Right now, both with he and Pierre, there's a little bit of wait and see," Payton said. "They'd have to do something more than we've seen these first two days."
In regard to Thomas, Payton said he wouldn't rule out surgery, but added that surgery has never talked about as an option for the running back. Instead, a third doctor said the primary option right now is to keep him off the ankle.
"It's lingering some," Payton said. "We had a local foot and ankle specialist two days ago put his eyes on it, which has been the third doctor. The feeling from all sides is let's get the weight off of it here. The swelling has gone down and see if we can get the pain to calm down as well."
Still, that Porter and Greer practiced was good news. Both were listed as limited.
"I'm encouraged with both Tracy and Jabari in their rehab," Payton said. "They were both able to go some today, both with the defense and on the scout team."
Other players listed as limited on the report were linebacker Scott Shanle (hamstring) and center Jonathan Goodwin (groin).

Bad quality
By Alice
from Montreal
I wore the ring a few times and a stone fell. I had it exchanged for another one and again a stone went missing after wearing it once. It's a very beautiful ring that I would have loved to keep but unfortunately bad quality. I returned it the second time for a full refund.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I bought this Lovely ring , adored it.Bought it in May, and just wore it yesterday for a beautiful outing .During the evening, I noticed one diamonelle missing. Since I have past my thirty days , I cannot return it, sad to say after all the money I have spent at the Shopping Channel. I bought a total of five rings.Sad to say I called and there was nothing they could do.So unfortunately, I am never buying here again, and will not recommend the Shopping Channel to anyone. I guess they do not value their customers.A very disappointed customer !!!!A. Tahatakis

Beautiful ring and unlike many other eternity bands ,it looks real which I think is very important.Unfortunately I had to return it because it is so wide that you can not wear your solitaire with it.I wish Elizabeth Grant would bring it back with half the length of this one.
Didn't quite hit the mark
By Reet
from Edmonton
I thought this would be great as a middle finger ring so I bought the largest size. Unfortunately, it would not fit over my poor swollen knuckle and was too big for my other fingers so I have to return it. It is a beautiful ring. I thought the inside was rather poorly finished otherwise it is quite spectacular.

I just received the eternity band and it is absolutely fabulous. I ordered the ring in size 5 and it fits me perfectly.(I usually wear size 5 or 6 depending on the finger.) The Diamonelle stones are very sparkly and the ring just looks beautiful.

This ring is lovely, smooth and comfortable to wear. I ordered different sizes, to ensure the best fit, and my regular size fit perfectly. My first Elizabeth Grant purchase and I wasn't disappointed!
Beautiful ring!
By LW
from BC
Just received the ring today, it is better than I expected it and I'm very happy it is available in size 5, many Diamonelle rings don't fit my finger and I wish there will be more smaller size options in the future.

This ring has both grace and elegance! It is extremely comfortable and doesn't catch on clothing. It is noticeable when worn without being gaudy or over stated! Well worth purchasing!!

From the official 2013 NFL rulebook (page 51)
A "pick-play" is essentially offensive pass interference, the following clarification gets at the heart of the matter.
Rule 8, Section 5, Article 2 (Forward Pass, Backward Pass, Fumble)
Prohibited Acts by both teams while the ball is in the air. Acts that are pass interference include, but are not limited to:
(e) cutting off the path of an opponent by making contact with him, without playing the ball.
Seems simple enough right? The important wording in this portion of the pass interference rule is "making contact with him." The tricky part is it is still completely a judgement call by the ref. In most cases (even though we know these plays are designed to create the pick effect), the question that arises is intent. If there is contact, was the contact intentional? Did the receiver knowingly cut off a defender to spring someone else open? Was the receiver just running a route and things got congested?
When judging intent, the little things that Broncos receivers do make it near impossible to call the penalty. I have seen these plays run many times and almost every time, the receiver slows down and seems to try and avoid blatant contact with the receiver. They keep their arms to themselves and make no chuck content whatsoever. So they avoid blatant contact which takes away that first part of subsection (e).
A fine line, but a line the Broncos likely addressed in Training Camp. Remember, teams have officiating crews in to go over all the rules and procedures and most importantly provide clear examples of what does and does not constitute an infraction.
Let us use an example. You tell me, is their intent to make contact without playing the ball?
So what do you say it is? I'm going to tell you right now, it's a beautifully designed stab/crossing route combination meant to pick the Mike LB and spring the crossing route coming against the grain.
Truthfully though, I can argue either side. I can say "hey I'm just running my route, I have every right to that real estate as the defender."
These route combinations are what muddle intent and make these pick routes judgement calls. It is hard to call in real time when the motion that occurs is not so overt that it draws attention to itself. So unless you see a blocking motion like grabbing outside the shoulder pads or extending the arms after a pushoff, anything short of knocking a defender on his ass is probably not going to get called.
Now here is an example of a legal pick play.
From the same rule, Article 4 "Other Prohibited Acts by the Offense. Blocking more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage by an offensive player prior to a pass being thrown is offensive pass interference."
The key wording here is "more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage." Within a yard you may block and knowing this rule is something that has set up one of the best redzone plays the Broncos use.
Man to man, Welker (orange) will be sprung by this legal pick. The Broncos are at the one yard line so a block between the 1 and the goalline is legal. Demaryius is going to shoot across and impede Welker's man, also in the process bringing his man with him. Here he also avoids running over the DB and once the block is made, springs for the corner.
Notice that the pick or block happens at about the half yardline (completely within the rules). Something opposing DB's should recognize is this play and the corners should actually switch off in order to neutralize the pick. In that instance, Thomas probably has good leverage on a fade to the corner.
Welker's man is now chasing a step and a half behind and the play is wide open for the TD.
Great design, and within the rules.
What did we learn today?
- Pick plays are cleverly designed combination routes
- Pick plays when carried out correctly leave the question of intent wide open for interpretation
- Despite all the complaining Chiefs fans do about the Broncos using them, the Chiefs use them too
- There are legal pick plays so long as the pick occurs within one yard of the line of scrimmage
- The Denver Broncos are really good at executing them, pound sand NFL
Bottom line, this is a huge gray area that will be widely debated and analyzed until the NFL decides to clarify what they will and will not call. The refs have a hard enough time deciding what constitutes PI in the first place so if you are not a fan of pick routes, you probably will be annoyed by them for years to come.

Broncos shopping Brandon Marshall
Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall(notes) will very likely be catching balls for another NFL team when things get started next season, according to the Denver Post.
He completely cleaned out his locker yesterday - even taking his nameplate -- so it doesn't look like there will be any love lost from his end if he gets traded elsewhere.
"Appreciate being here for four years and the opportunity to still play football," Marshall said as he split.
Of course he did a similar thing back in June when he walked out of minicamp. But this time appears to be for good. Marshall will be placed on the trading block along with tight end Tony Scheffler(notes).

Marcus Smart Plays Dumb
LUBBOCK, TX – Down 63-61 with less than 10 seconds to go, Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart trailed Texas Tech senior forward Jaye Crockett, who was driving down the lane going for the a dunk. In an attempt to block Crockett's dunk, he fouled the Red Raider. Smart's momentum took him into the stands behind the basket.
As Smart was helped up by a nearby photographer, a Texas Tech "super-fan" – Jeff Orr – said something to set off the Oklahoma State superstar. According to Texas Tech athletic department spokesman Blayne Beal, Orr is from Waco, Texas and "travels thousands of miles each year to attend Texas Tech basketball games." After the Cowboy gets up, he walks over to Orr. The two exchange words and Smart shoves him. The sophomore received a technical foul, and sat on the bench for the remainder of the game.
Oklahoma State, who is in the midst of a five-game losing-streak, are self-imploding. Smart's latest on-court meltdown doesn't help.
According to ESPN, Smart told his coaches that "Orr called him a racial slur." No matter what a fan says, it is not right for the point guard to react that way. As the leader of a spiraling Oklahoma State squad, Smart must keep his composure and lead by example. Did Smart have a right to push Orr? Yeah, maybe. But that doesn't mean he should have.
In that moment, Smart came undone and cost the team. With No. 19 Oklahoma State's chances at making the NCAA Tournament dwindling and a tough road match-up at No. 15 Texas Tuesday, the Cowboys will be without their superstar. Without Smart for the next three games, Oklahoma's chances of making the NCAA Tournament might be finished. The Smart suspension is only the latest speed bump for this Oklahoma State squad. The Cowboys will need to rise from this as a unit, and use this mishap as a bounce-back point for the rest of the season.
If you're the Big 12 commissioner, what would you do? Is three games too harsh, too little or just right?
Here is the ESPN coverage of the incident.

LAS VEGAS -- A man has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping and death of a 37-year-old man whose body was found near Pecos Road and Owens Avenue April 10.
Police arrested Jonathan Anthony Reyes, 23, on Thursday after witnesses told police Reyes was with another man, Eric Orduna, who had beaten Abraham Mathews to death.
Reyes is facing several charges, including first degree kidnapping, robbery with the use of a deadly weapon and murder with the use of a deadly weapon.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Orduna on the same charges.
According to the arrest report, witnesses told detectives that Mathews had been killed because he owed Orduna money for drugs.
The Clark County Coroner's Office determined that Mathews died from blunt force trauma to the head and appeared to have been beaten. His death was ruled a homicide.
Some medical providers say they often deal with Hispanic patients who are afraid to seek medical care. It's hoped the opening of a new medical clinic will change that.

The Andrew Luck vs. Robert Griffin III game will take place in wet conditions. Rain has been coming down throughout the afternoon at FedEx Field so the field is wet and it doesn't appear to be letting up anytime soon. Weather reports indicate it could be raining on and off throughout the game.
It's not clear how this affects the game plan but we may not be seeing the best of RGIII anyway. NFL Network's Albert Breer reported that the Redskins don't plan to show much of their offense in this game, which isn't unusual in the preseason.

By Nancy Fulton, President
Nebraska State Education Association
Sculptor, painter, architect and poet Michelangelo said "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
Our Association's aim is a great public education for every student – a lofty goal to be sure. It is a vision – clearly stated in our Mission Statement – of which we should be proud.
While that vision is timeless, reaching that vision is a constant challenge. As we move deeper into the digital age, we must be open to change in order to rise to those challenges. The very nature of our work demands that we be on the cutting edge of progress, and progress, of course, means constant change.
Reshaping Education
In that regard, educators have a unique opportunity this year. The Legislature's Education Committee chair, Sen. Kate Sullivan, has invited NSEA to work with the committee to provide input on a visioning process for public education, pre-school through college, in Nebraska. This pivotal study, approved by state senators in April, will significantly influence public education, our students and our work as educators well into the future. I am quite pleased that Sen. Sullivan has sought our participation.
As the visioning process begins to gain steam, I will seek your thoughts and input. We at NSEA are already conducting focus groups with members to discuss and discover the issues and goals important to you. We don't plan to stop at that. Watch for surveys and other opportunities that will enable you to provide your view of what public education should look like in the years ahead. Your input will also tell us how we can work toward that goal of reshaping education.
Should our priorities focus on smaller class size? Is professional development and mentoring for new teachers important? Does support from parents, the public and elected officials rise to the top? Are fewer test days and more time to teach our top priorities? How about accountability for appropriate state standards? Do we deserve competitive salaries and more support for new, as well as veteran, teachers?
I am certain you have many other suggestions.
Ill-Advised Directives
Educators must be involved in creation of this coming vision, and that is why I so appreciate Sen. Sullivan's invitation to participate. Without the involvement of educators, we risk a "vision" of ill-advised directives imposed upon us by those who do not teach. Thus, we need your voice and the voice of all public school educators.
So now is the time for us to take our place at the table with issues like education reform, testing and accountability. It is time to engage members to send our ideas and messages to legislators and policymakers, to let them know that we will lead our profession, that we know what works best in the classroom.
As part of that process, we must reach out and listen to our Millennial Generation colleagues, as well as former members and those who have never been members. Together, we can teach them about the value of membership, we can build a stronger and more effective Association for all. Together, we can help policymakers not only "aim high" but aim in the right direction as they craft a new and exciting vision for education in Nebraska.
When I began teaching, the torch handed to me burned strong and bright. I believe that by standing together and building on our already formidable Association and our already effective public school system here in Nebraska, we will be able to pass a strong and brightly lit torch on to the next generation of educators.
Thanks, colleagues, and aim high.

A Limited Authority to Teach (LAT) allows an unregisterable person to be employed in a teaching position in a specified school/centre temporarily. It is not a form of registration. LATs may be used to cover teaching positions in a variety of roles. They should only be used in the case where a registered teacher can't be found for the specific role.
A LAT is not transferable. This means it can only be used within the school/centre for the position for which it was granted, except where the position involves an itinerating role and then it is only for the schools/centres named on the approval letter. In these circumstances, the LAT must be applied for at a designated home school/centre and all other schools/centres at which the position applies must be listed on the application.
A LAT is not an extension to the 10 full days that a person can teach without holding a practising certificate or authorisation from the Teachers Council – it is an authorisation for a specific role and person in a specific school for a specified time period.
Who can apply for a LAT?
LATs are granted for people who will hold a teaching position (over the period of the contract) within a particular school/centre.
LATs are not for people working as teacher aides, kaiarahi i te reo/kaiawhina or other such support role, as these are not considered teaching positions. The Teachers Council will not grant an authority to anyone who is already eligible for registration – they would need to go through the normal registration process.
Durations and fees for LAT applications
LATs are granted for limited periods. Find out about duration and processing fees
How to apply
A Limited Authority to Teach is applied for by the person needing it, with a a Limited Authority to Teach (TC4) form.
The application must be endorsed by the principal of a school (or senior teacher of a kindergarten) wishing to employ the person. The need for an authority should be anticipated in advance and an application made before the date it is needed. Where an authorised teacher is to be employed in several schools, for example as an itinerant teacher, the endorsement is made by a principal who will be responsible for the performance appraisals.
LAT Policy
The LAT Policy can be found in Section Three of the Registration Policy (PDF).

Aim This qualitative study of a small number of child death overview panels aimed to observe and describe their experience in implementing new child death review processes, and making prevention recommendations. Methods Nine sites reflecting a geographic and demographic spread were selected from Local Safeguarding Children Boards across England. Data were collected through a combination of questionnaires, interviews, structured observations, and evaluation of documents. Data were subjected to qualitative analysis. Results Data analysis revealed a number of themes within two overarching domains: the systems and structures in place to support the process; and the process and function of the panels. The data emphasised the importance of child death review being a multidisciplinary process involving senior professionals; that the process was resource and time intensive; that effective review requires both quantitative and qualitative information, and is best achieved through a structured analytic framework; and that the focus should be on learning lessons, not on trying to apportion blame. In 17 of the 24 cases discussed by the panels, issues were raised that may have indicated preventable factors. A number of examples of recommendations relating to injury prevention were observed including public awareness campaigns, community safety initiatives, training of professionals, development of protocols, and lobbying of politicians. Conclusions The results of this study have helped to inform the subsequent establishment of child death overview panels across England. To operate effectively, panels need a clear remit and purpose, robust structures and processes, and committed personnel. A multiagency approach contributes to a broader understanding of and response to children's deaths.

Kids at Sanford Children's hospital in Bismarck welcomed a special visitor today.
As part of the U.S. Navy's Caps for Kids Program, Petty Officer Jeffrey Shirley presented Navy ball caps and other Navy mementos to children and gave them the title of "Honorary Sailor."
He says it's always an honor.
"To show the navy's commitment to our community. Our families obviously, they give us so much and its our way of returning that. Obviously these children are in a time of need. Anything we can do to help them, that's what we want to do. Without the community we wouldn't be the navy we are today," says Petty Officer 1st Class Jeffrey Shirley.
Caps for Kids started in 1990 and since then, more than 500 commands have donated caps and memorabilia.

Big hits missing for Miami Hurricanes' LB Sean Spence
By Jorge Milian
Is Sean Spence in the midst of a sophomore slump?
The 2008 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year is only sixth on UM with 13 tackles and hasn't made much of an impact for a Hurricanes' defense that is 10th in the ACC in points allowed (27.3 average) and is coming off a major league beatdown at the hands of Virginia Tech.
Like virtually every UM defender, Spence missed tackles in the 31-7 loss to Virginia Tech, allowing the Hokies to rumble for 272 yards. Spence did finish with eight tackles, nearly double what he registered in UM's first two games combined, but that was lost among all the big plays in Virginia Tech's running game.
Last season as a freshman, Spence was the lone playmaker on UM's defense. Whether it was a big hit on Florida's Tim Tebow or an interception return for a touchdown against Florida State, Spence was often in the middle of the action. He finished his first season third in tackles (65) to go along with a team-leading 9.5 tackles for losses, 4 pass break-ups, 2 sacks and the aforementioned interception.
First-year defensive coordinator John Lovett disputed that Spence was struggling when asked following Wednesday's practice.
"I don't know if it's a sophomore slump," Lovett said. "Everybody is expecting him to put an 'S' on his chest and be the man on every single play. That's not going to be the case. I think last year he showed up a lot because people didn't know who he was. Right now, he hasn't been as productive as you think he needs to be and as I think he needs to be, but he's playing well."
Coach Randy Shannon also insisted that Spence is playing well, but thinks the perception that he's not stems from a lack of the bone-rattling hits the 6-foot, 210-pound strongside linebacker accumulated last season.
"Not so far," Spence said Tuesday when asked if he had any memorable hits this season. "I haven't gotten a chance to get the big hit. They'll come. I just have to keep playing hard and fast."
Spence said he hasn't received any extra attention this season from opposing offenses, but Lovett said teams "know about him and are accounting for him."
While opponents may have allowed Spence to roam relatively free last season, they're often getting a 300-pound lineman in his face this year.
"It's not so much he's getting blocked, it's just finishing plays," Lovett said. "He had chances last week to make some things happen, but it didn't happen. He has a great motor. He'll bounce back. He's just feeling his way through some of this stuff."
Spence will have to do it quickly. No. 8 Oklahoma, UM's opponent on Saturday at Land Shark Stadium, ranks eighth nationally in scoring (40.67-point average).
If Spence doesn't come up with some big plays against the Sooners, it could be a long night.
"I'm not frustrated," said Spence, who is on the Butkus Award watch list. "I just know that I can do better. If I get frustrated, that's just going to lead to more things, so I'm just staying cool with it."
Lovett was asked Wednesday if he might move Spence to weakside linebacker to get him going.
"Nope, nope, nope, nope," Lovett said. "Just going to go play. Don't mess with him, go play. If it's not broke you don't have to fix it. And he's not broke. He'll be fine."
A few notes:
…..Shannon said that starting safety Randy Phillips took part in all of Wednesday's practice, clearing the senior to play against Oklahoma. Phillips sustained an undisclosed arm injury against Virginia Tech and missed most of the game. Facing Oklahoma figures to be a big deal for Phillips, who gave up several touchdown passes to the Sooners two years ago. Phillips was moved from cornerback to safety after that game. Saturday night's game "means more to him because of the situation he was put in a couple of years ago," Shannon said of UM's 51-13 loss on September 8, 2007. "He felt like he let the team down back then. But like I told him, don't make it a revenge factor. Make it something you learned from and know how you got beat. If you go out there mad, angry and upset – most people make mistakes or say something wrong or do something wrong when they're angry."
…..Lovett on the loss to Virginia Tech: "Last week obviously was just a disaster. Bad game-planning by me and we didn't play very hard, I think."
…..A potty-mouthed starting offensive lineman profanely declined an interview request on Wednesday morning. If only he had shown that kind of passion in Blacksburg.

There has been a lot of talk here on CSC about what our needs are this offseason. I think the biggest thing to remember is that what we need now, most likely won't be our needs once the draft rolls around. And I can guarantee that our needs won't be in the same order of priority on May 8th as they are right now. So here are a few possibilities to notice that may take before and during the draft.
First, a look at our FA.
From right here on this site, thanks to Travis, here is our list of our Unrestricted FAs... Malcolm Jenkins, Zach Strief, Jimmy Graham, Parys Haralson, Brian De La Puente, Charles Brown, Robert Meachem, Kenyon Coleman, Will Herring, Ramon Humber, Luke McCown,
Jonathan Vilma, Keyunta Dawson, Shayne Graham.
We also have Restricted FAs Rafael Bush, Tom Johnson, Joe Morgan, Jed Collins, Jeremiah Hunter.
As it stands now, here is how I see our needs.
- Cornerback
Now, just to explain, I would prefer we go after a top OG in this draft to replace Ben Grubbs. He has been serviceable, but not for the price tag he commands. A top OG in the first couple rounds could become an immediate replacement. The problem lies in the contract, where Grubbs has $9mil in dead money this season. He would probably not become a cap casualty until 2016 when he is set to make $10.3mil, but only $3mil in dead money. If we could move Grubbs for a draft pick, I would be all for that option.
In this scenario, I would like to see us draft like this:
- David Yankey, OT/OG, Stanford - This would be my ideal pick. He started 40 games in college, both at LT and OG. He could fill a need at RT, but could also be a potential replacement at OG. Very smart, versatile, player.
- Kyle Fuller, CB, Va Tech - A solid corner with good size.
- Bryan Stork, C, FSU - Immediate replacement for DLP.
- Michael Sam, DE/OLB, Mizzou - Here is the big question mark. However, there is no question about his talent. I would be torn on this pick. As a player, I certainly want him to play the strongside OLB, filling in where Parys Haralson left off. But as a team, I don't want this to cause any issues with chemistry.
- Kenny Ladler, S, Vandy - Much like the rest of this draft, another very smart, instinctive player.
- Dri Archer, WR, Kent ST - While he won't fill the void of a #1 WR type guy, he could be extremely dangerous in our offense. At only 5'8'', 175lbs, he could play a Sproles-like role in our offense. This would be immensely important if we let go of Sproles for cap reasons.
Now let's say we make a few moves in FA. First we bring back Strief, and Brian DLP. I believe our needs change:
The same can be said for Malcolm Jenkins and Rafael Bush. Resigning those players make Safety a much lower need, if at all. But 2 of our FA have a little more to them. I would like to see us retain Joe Morgan, but I'm not sure that changes the priority of the WR. I still feel that will be our 3rd or 4th need regardless. I expect Lance Moore to be released. And last, Parys Haralson. I think this guy is exactly what we need opposite of Galette. He is solid in run support. I think we could retain him for a decent price tag. The issue is health. I don't know how he will return after his season-ending injury so late in the year.
So the key will be who we have retained/signed once the draft arrives, which is the key every year. These things will change weekly. Best thing to do is keep our eyes on some quality prospects at all the potential needs, throughout various rounds of the draft.
- CB - EARLY - Marcus Roberson, Kyle Fuller. MIDDLE - Pierre Desir, Ross Cockrell, Keith McGill, Aaron Colvin. LATE - Antone Exum (CB/S)
- S - EARLY - Calvin Pryor. MIDDLE - Ahmad Dixon, Craig Loston, Kenny Ladler, Tre Boston. LATE - Antone Exum (CB/S)
- OT - EARLY - David Yankey (OG/OT), Antonio Richardson, Morgan Moses. MIDDLE - James Hurst. LATE - Wesley Johnson
- OG - EARLY - David Yankey (OG/OT), Xavier Su'a Filo, Gabe Jackson, Cyril Richardson. MIDDLE - Anthony Steen.
- C - EARLY - Travis Swanson. MIDDLE - Bryan Stork, Marcus Martin, Gabe Ikard
- OLB - EARLY - Scott Chrichton, MIDDLE - Michael Sam, Jeremiah Attaochu, Adrian Hubbard, LATE - Devon Kennard
- WR - EARLY - Kelvin Benjamin, Jarvis Landry, Jordan Matthews. MIDDLE - Donte Moncrief, Brandon Coleman, Jared Abbrederis, Mike Davis. LATE - Dri Archer

I have been thinking about this over the last few weeks (more or so when we acquired Jermaine and Moon) but it seems like Udonis's production has really gone down, and the mid range jumper that used to be automatic for him has fallen into the "hopeful" range. Dont get me wrong, i still love UD and i love what he does for this team. All the intangibles are priceless. But lately it seems as though Beasley has been working his tail off on both side sof the court.
What really stood out and made the mark for me was during last nights game against the Suns when Beasley went for a shot and missed. He followed up his own miss and went for the rebound. When it got tipped away from him he dove for the ball and smacked it out of the hands of the opposition. It is just another way that Beasley is showing he understand this game is more then scoring. He is putting his body on the line and doing the little things to help us win.
Now i dont know if its worth that starting spot yet. He has been play very well and a switch in the rotation could mess with their heads. But Beasley is still playing in the mid 20 minutes and id personally like to see him hit the 30+ mark.
Wade cant do it all himself and he needs another offensive supporter. With consistent 30 minute games i think Beasley can be that second option. But maybe learning on the bench this year is best and then move him to starter next year.
What are your thoughts?

Crewe Alexandra's stand-in captain Matt Tootle calls for a defensive improvement against Sheffield United
2:07pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in Sport By Toby Robinson
STAND-in skipper Matt Tootle wants defensive improvement ahead of Crewe's crunch clash against Sheffield United.
With both clubs battling to beat the drop, that old cliché of a six-pointer at Gresty Road rings true.
And one of the best performers of a tough season so far insists they must sort it out at set pieces.
"People must look at the league table and say we've got the worst back four in the country," explained Tootle.
"The goal we conceded at Tranmere (1-0) was the 20th out of 54 that have been from set-pieces.
"That's been our downfall and we need to sort it out.
"We work on it in training but we have to start taking it into matches.
"It's hard to live with that record.
"I feel like I've probably had my best season on a personal note but people who don't watch us will judge all of us on how many we've conceded.
"We've got to try and keep our confidence high and to do that, we've got to get better at defending set-plays for 90 minutes.
"We really need to step on the gas now and this is a massive second half to the season.
"We need to get a good run going to give ourselves a strong chance of finishing it as a League One club."
The 23-year-old is likely to retain the armband against the Blades with George Evans expected to keep out club captain Abdul Osman.
"I've been here a long time and I've always looked up to everyone who has been captain," added Tootle.
"It actually distracted me for the first 10 minutes because I was thinking I should be doing something extra but I settled down.
"I've always tried to lead and encourage anyway.
"Abdul is club captain and I'm sure he'll be back in the team soon but I'll keep trying to help and take responsibility."
Tuesday night's postponed clash against Stevenage gave Harry Davis extra time to get over a swollen knee.
Mathias Pogba and Uche Ikpeazu are both pressing for starts while Alan Martin's departure means boss Steve Davis will tie up a loan move for a keeper.
Fulham's Neil Etheridge remains in the frame and could be involved on Saturday.
"We have got to be on it every week," said Davis.
"Every game is important and the sooner players realise that is the situation, the better."

A few pointers for you before you embark on your food tasting:
This is something you might not think of doing, but keep in mind that almost anything tastes good when you are hungry. Remember that the purpose of a wedding tasting is to get a small sample of the dishes to be served at your wedding. Try not to fill up on one dish, so you can save room to sample others. A couple of bites is enough to determine whether or not you like the taste.
The main objective at a wedding tasting is to ensure that you like what is being offered at your wedding. However, I'm sure there are items that you know that you already like, so why not try something that you are unsure of? We might make the best mashed potatoes, but most people know what mashed potatoes taste like already, so why not try our parmesan herb risotto cakes?
A great thing about Coastal Gourmet is that you can always go into one of our Mystic Markets or restaurants and try something on your own. Order the mashed potatoes with your next steak dinner at Latitude 41, and try our parmesan herb risotto cakes at your tasting! Which takes me to my next point...
You don't have to choose anything that you and your fiance don't care for, but be flexible enough to consider a dish that you might not have initially chosen. A menu item that you wouldn't usually consider might be prepared in a new way that appeals to you, and could just turn out to be your new favorite meal!
It's fun to bring your parents or your future in-laws if they are paying for your wedding or have a strong influence on the menu choices, but we suggest limiting your crowd at the tasting. While you want everyone to enjoy the ultimate wedding celebration, the day really belongs to the bride & groom, and part of that is planning the day. With to many opinions at the table, it's sometimes difficult to get a clear idea of what the bride & groom actually like and want for their wedding. Treat the tasting like a date night out for you and your fiance, where you can relax and try fabulous food without the pressures of other people being there.
Don't be afraid to speak with your catering sales coordinator to discuss about what menu items work best within your budget. Lobster tails and filet mignon might have been in the wedding of your dreams, but your prefrences might not match your wallet. You event coordinator will be able to suggest delicious alternatives to some higher priced items that will fit perfectly with your budget. We can also suggest different styles of service, or possibly serving fewer courses for a less expensive menu.
Bring a notepad to the tasting. Take notes on how the food not only looks and tastes, but it's overall presentation. You can use this information to discuss items of interest with your event coordinator at your menu & detail meeting.
