MAC Studio Fix And MAC Superglass
It summer time and for that reason I'm not that into wearing a liquid foundation during the day. So, I took a trip to MAC Cosmetics store in Scottsdale's Fashion Square Mall and viola, Marta is the proud owner of MAC Studio Fix. A true classic. I've been loving this one for many years now. It is a powder foundation, it covers without leaving your skin greasy, too shiny, or oily. And it's quick 1-2-3 and you're done!
L to R: MAC Studio Fix in C40 And MAC Superglass in Gift Wrap
Another classic, and in my opinion, the Bentley of all lip gloss and best lip gloss ever invented is MAC Superglass. My favorite shade is Gift Wrap which is light coral, my favorite shade after red. I also love MAC Dazzleglass, it's very similar to MAC Superglass it's just a bit lighter in consistency.

Dolce & Gabbana The Make Up- Fall and Holiday Collections
Introducing the Romantic Collection for Fall 2009 and the Golden Beams Collection for Holiday 2009: two new collections showcasing new colours, new attitude and new direction. Inspired by Dolce & Gabbana's gravitation toward surrealism, each palette embraces a bold insouciance and a sexy spontaneity that challenges the archetypal face of beauty with the revolutionary Dolce & Gabbana aesthetic.
Created for the Dolce & Gabbana woman who seeks a look that's at once disarmingly assertive and simultaneously seductive, The Make Up captures implicit femininity and explicit sensuality, specially designed for the woman who chooses a life of passion, full-on glamour and ultimate luxury. She aspires to perfection and achieves it; takes risks and succeeds.
The Romantic Collection – Fall 2009
Inspired by Surrealism, the Dolce & Gabbana A/W 09 runway collection echoes both revolutionary sensibility and rebellious spirit. Just as the Surrealists eschewed the conventional to embrace the unpredictable and explore the unimaginable, Dolce & Gabbana break the rules both on the runway and with a new collection of Make Up for fall, tracing the fine line between dreams and reality to create an innovative glamour that teases and provokes.
"We worship the surrealists; they pushed the limits-and proved that anything is possible," says Stefano Gabbana, "With the Romantic Collection, the idea is to break away from the expected to transform beauty, creating a look that is about ultimate fantasy."

First of all, I want to say hello again to all my fellow Nets fans. I haven't posted on this site close to a year , mainly because I was getting a bit aggravated that my posts would get deleted and/or warned even though I didn't felt that I've done anything wrong. Hopefully, whatever the problem was in the past, it won't effect my postings today.
Now, on to the main focus on this post. I know everyone, myself included, wants to see Dwight Howard and Deron Williams lead the Nets to Brooklyn and form a dynasty-in-the-making for years to come. Some people think we should just trade for Dwight right now while some feel we should allow Dwight to reach free agency and then sign him. I've been thinking long and hard about this situation and I've come to the conclusion that the Nets should take a chance (since Dwight has the Nets as his top choice) and wait until the summer to sign Dwight to the Nets.
One reason why I think they should wait until the offseason is because the Nets will be able to hold onto their assets (ie; Lopez, Brooks, 1st round picks, etc) and won't have to gut their roster for one superstar player. Another reason (and this may be one of the BIGGEST reasons) is because with all the assets that the Nets will have to offer, they could make a move for Josh Smith. Not only will he provide the Nets a LEGIT small forward that they've been lacking since Richard Jefferson's departure, but he's also very good friends with Dwight Howard and the Nets should do whatever it takes to keep both Dwight and Deron happy for the long term. The Hawks really could use a legit center on their team rather than using an undersized Al Horford, who is a natural PF. The Nets can do a sign-and-trade with Brook Lopez (and add another player if necessary) for Josh Smith. Both teams will have what they really need.
On the alternate side (Plan B), the Nets could just go ahead and trade for Dwight right now (say goodbye to Lopez, 1-2 1st rounders and possibly Brooks). Then in the offseason, they can sign Gerald Wallace for SF while filling other holes on the team. And if they want to, the Nets can wait until around the trade deadline and then shop Gerald Wallace (add another player or a pick if necessary) to the Hawks for Josh Smith. In the 2013 offseason, the Nets can then sign Smith to a a long-term deal. They will have their "Big Three" of Howard, Smith and Williams for a very long time in Brooklyn. What do you guys think about that potential plan? Feel free to post.

Ringmer chickens strut their stuff in chikinis
7:10am Tuesday 7th December 2010 in News By Emily-Ann Elliott
Hens have been strutting their stuff in the latest fashion accessory – chikinis.
These garments are nothing like the mankini thong made famous by Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy creation Borat.
Instead former battery hens are sporting specially-knitted chikini jackets at Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare in The Broyle, Ringmer, near Lewes.
The woollen outfits have been created by supporters of the centre to help the chickens stay warm.
Most of the birds arrived at Raystede almost completely featherless in October after being brought in by the RSPCA.
As the colder weather approached staff at the centre made a call to volunteers to get knitting and thanks to a quick response the chickens are now wrapped up warm against the freezing conditions.
Sanctuary supervisor Wendy Holford thanked volunteers for their help and said: "I cannot get over the kindness of those people who have knitted jumpers for the girls."
Anyone who would like to knit a chicken jacket can contact Raystede for the pattern on 01825 840252.

Fireworks possible at April 25 City Council meeting
By Dave Schwab
Staff Writer
The ongoing battle over regulation of coastal fireworks could take a new turn as an item on San Diego City Council's Monday, April 25 agenda seeks to amend the city's Municipal Code to exempt fireworks displays on city-owned property from being required to obtain special event permits.
The budget item being introduced by the City Attorney's office would amend the city's Municipal Code to "clarify that a fireworks display attended by persons gathering on city-owned property to watch those fireworks is exempt from the requirement to obtain a Special Event Permit, unless the fireworks display also involves the sale of food or alcohol at certain non-exempt locations."
Environmental attorney Marco Gonzalez of the Coastal Environmental Rights Foundation (CERF), which has a lawsuit pending challenging the city's failure to conduct environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) at the annual La Jolla Cove Fourth of July fireworks display, has sent a letter to the city protesting the proposed policy change.
"CERF has sought to engage in constructive dialogue with the city to work out a resolution to the lawsuit for many months," Gonzalez' letter states. "The city's response has been hardball litigation tactics … CERF believes the city needs to address the potential environmental impacts from larger special events. … We're concerned with the dozens of times each year where more than 10,000 people congregate on public property, utilize public services and potentially (or actually) impact the environment with no required mitigation, alternative analysis or public process by organizers who are profiting from the events. … We cannot, however, stand idly by and watch the city respond to its losing battle over the La Jolla Cove Fireworks Show with an even more egregious and illegal act."
Deborah Marengo, spokeswoman for La Jolla Community Fireworks Foundation, a nonprofit corporation seeking 501(c)3 tax-exempt status that puts on the community's Fourth of July display, said the council item is good news.
"We are hoping the City Council will vote for this amendment," she said. "We're hoping changes will take place that make it easier for all of the nonprofits to put on these types of patriotic displays."
Thus far, fundraising for 2011 La Jolla fireworks is going slowly.
"Right now we're only at $3,500 and we need a minimum of $25,000 or $26,000," Marengo said.
Marengo has set a June 1 deadline for raising the money needed for this year's Cove fireworks display.

Monday's City Council meeting starting at 2 p.m. is in the Council Chambers on the 12th floor of the City Administration Building, 202 C St.

Carlos Quentin hit a pair of home runs Sunday night, including the game-winner to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning, as the White Sox avoided a sweep and finished a short homestand by winning four of six games.
Quentin's second shot gave the Sox a 3-2 victory over the Angels in a game that took only 2 hours 5 minutes and made them winners for the ninth time in 11 games.
spring training, but what he's done in the season has been remarkable," said Jose Contreras, who pitched eight strong innings.
Scott Linebrink, who pitched his 12th scoreless inning in May, was the winner in relief.
Contreras struck out 10 batters, the fourth time he has fanned at least that many in a game in his career. His ERA over the last four games is 1.61.
Contreras came in having won three straight games and four of his last five decisions, showing signs that he may be close to his 2005 form, when he finished 15-7.
"I don't think he ever will be," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "In 2005 that kid was amazing. He got older, and there's a lot of innings since then. I think he's healthy and I think that's the most important thing. Last year he was a mess. He had problems off the field, he got back problems on the field, hamstring problems.
"I don't care how good you are, if you're not healthy, you're not going to be that good. This year, since spring training, he's throwing the ball well. [But] this is a marathon; you've got to keep it up six months."
Contreras was perfect the first time through the Angels' order but hit a big bump to start the fourth when Maicer Izturis singled and Gary Matthews Jr. homered to right field to tie the game at 2-2.
Contreras then struck out the next four batters and retired nine in a row before Garret Anderson led off the seventh with a double and was stranded there.
Matthews' long shot matched Quentin's in the third inning. Quentin hit a 398-foot homer after Alexei Ramirez singled. He now has a league-leading 14 long balls and is second in the AL with 43 RBIs.
The Angels' John Lackey made only his third start of the season after going on the disabled list in spring for a strained right triceps. In his first start, he limited the Sox to one run in seven innings.
During the first two games of the Angels' series, Sox batters had been limited to one run and seven hits by Joe Saunders, Jered Weaver and Francisco Rodriguez.
"I don't think the expectation is too high with our offense, because every time we get [bad] days people start panicking," Guillen said.
While the Sox offense has struggled, it has been picked up by the starting staff.
"That's one of the reasons we're still fighting," Guillen said. "If the starting rotation wasn't pitching, we'd have lots of problems."
A Memorial Day weekend crowd of 36,195 enjoyed itself, cheering as a plastic blowup doll was tossed around the left-field bleachers and then booing when an usher grabbed it.

It meant tremendous opportunity for the young man from the small village in the country known for its great runners.
But then he disappeared for three days in an Alaskan snowstorm, and when he resurfaced his frost bitten feet had to be amputated. He is now running again on Ossur Cheeta prosthetics and hopes to compete in the 2016 paraolympics in Brazil.
He shared his remarkable story with Liz Habib on Studio 11.

Methuen, Mass. driver killed in I-95 rollover in Portsmouth
According to New Hampshire State Police, the accident happened about 9:49 p.m. and involved a single vehcile.
"Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2006 Chevy HHR sedan, being driven by William Lasonde, age 63, of Methuen, Mass., was traveling northbound on Interstate 95.

Lasonde was transported to the Portsmouth Regional Hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries."
This accident occurred in the right median area separating Interstate 95 northbound and the Exit 5 exit ramp. A portion of the right travel lane was closed for approximately two hours as Troopers investigated.

love the 3DS, if theres a newer and better version out there, i will buy it.... this will be my 4th 3DS system, lol.
regular cosmo black 3DS (traded in), XL blue (given to brother), XL Zelda Gold Edition (will keep or give to brother), and probably then the new metallic blue XL+ (for me!)
reserving this asap!!
when does the game come out? no offense but i wanna play it before i decide to care about the music..
kudos nintendo 3DS, you rock!
this game is by no means for "babies", levels are relatively easy to clear, yes, but if you want to get all of the stars/red coins/flowers, then good luck, they are hidden all over the place and you will find yourself frequently stumped as to where you even missed any of them. the game is definitely challenging enough to satisfy any fan of the original yoshi's island.
as for the platforming itself, its just what it should be really and entirely evocative of the original game.
theres arrow-bounce balls, question mark clouds, and lots of hidden ones too, vines that grow from seeds, hidden pass-through walls, egg-stealing mice, chomp rocks, kamek, lost baby countdown, spin buckets in castles that drop stuff, lots of new transformation mini-levels, lots of baddies from the original, as well as new ones, like the metal shy guy and giant shy guy, poochie is in there somewhere, and the boss fights are stunning looking, if a bit on the easy side (im lookin at you giant bean guy, world 1 boss).
the game is awesome, this review is just plain wrong.
seriously, if you liked the original, don't knock this one till you try it.
odds are, you'll love it too.
okay, so i was REALLY looking forward to yoshi's new island, then i read this review and got totally depressed about it. that's because this site has always been about 100% accurate in their reviews of upcoming games.
despite that, i decided to watch the extended trailer and keep an open mind.
ultimately i decided to give the game a chance.
and guess what?
THE GAME IS GREAT, ITS JUST FINE. IT COULD EASILY HAVE SCORED A 7 or 8 at least.
granted it doesn't take the franchise to all-new heights but it is a totally solid follow-up to the original game in the series, which frankly, is all that i had ever wanted.
it looks great, sounds great, plays great, is fun, colourful, and not at all a crappy effort. watch the trailer and if it looks good to you, just go for it and disregard the low score on this site (sorry guys!).
i hated the one for DS, switching babies was a royal pain and the two screen levels weren't actually the best idea. i did have fun with yoshi story for N64, though it was a really weird entry in the series.
but all i ever wanted was basically this game. so all in all, i am glad that i bothered to give it a try. i have played through the first world and am very satisfied. i would really have been entirely wrong to have just passed on this game.
for once nlife, i have to disagree with you on the score.
well thats sincerely disappointing news, i was really looking forward to this...
you fool!!!!! the gamepad is AWESOME and i use it exclusively to play all wii u and eshop games cause im too cheap to buy an HD tv. besides, i like 3ds better than anything else these days anyway and basically its a giant gameboy, win + win = win. and seriously, anything would have been better than those abyssmal wiimote controls, which killed an entire generation of nintendo games.
yea doesnt really make me think NES, looks like a very old computer game maybe. at a glance i'd say it doesn't look very good and doesn't really interest me. however, i do like an oldschool romp now and again, so i guess we'll see how it turns out.
dont know anything about the series but gotta love that jpop trailer. man atlus just cranks games out left and right.
its every bit as good as the original and i wouldn't argue if you wanted to say that it's even better.
if you're looking for recommendations, contra 3 for SNES was also good in it's own right and basically faithful to the original style. contra 4 for DS (many many years later) was also really really good, if a bit on the insanely impossible side.
additionally, i also enjoyed operation C for the original gameboy, though its a very pared down version for the most part.
hm, maybe contra 4 borrowed that sub fight from operation c? something to think aboot!
wonderfully and totally classic. gotta love that jungle level and the japanese hodge-podge insanity that is the final boss - it just doesn't make sense! oh and don't forget that skull and bones thing u gotta fight. wicked.
loved the full game and anything more would be great.
its a shame that it was a title that got totally passed over by most people. i got it cause it was cheap and old and i ended up loving it (much like Nano Assault for 3DS). it looks great and i found it to be very addictive. i even beat all the extreme missions.
anyway, its great that its back in some form but honestly it would have been neat to have seen this with HD graphics on the Wii U.
maybe we'll get lucky and this will spark some new interest in the game and it will eventually get a sequel? one can only desperately hope
off-tv play is the #1 best thing about the wii u, that and the fact that it has basically traditional controls and doesnt require that horrible wiimote garbage. "wiimote, the controller which neutered and ruined an entire generation of nintendo games".
as i currently only have one tv, i use the gamepad to play games ALL of the time and have played whole games through on just the gamepad alone and i love it. it's like a giant gameboy with an HD screen and its awesome.
so, off-tv play is all that was needed from the wiiu and gamepad. its awesome, it stays, and its perfectly fine as-is.
its the end of january though, so i guess another two months isn't really too bad. at least it has a firm release date and not just a vague release window.
can't wait to play this but it has been quite a wait. between this and shantae falling off the map in 2013, i'm dying here! ;p
word, lamulana1 was wicked hard, but soooooooo totally worth it. would love to see a 2nd game in the franchise. wouldnt hurt it was a wee bit more accessible to the general populace tho.
they could keep churning out metroidvania titles like sotn or the DS entries and i would certainly keep buying them forever. ecclesia was inspired.
mirror of fate wasnt what i wanted, but it ended up being very very good anyway. despite lackluster sales, i think that the effort was a success.
seriously hope i win the prize for NA, im still sad that i couldnt get one of those awesome zelda treasure chests with ALBW.
i like shin'en, would like to see more in the vein of nano assault (as in the 3DS version, the wii u version just didn't do it for me, though it looked pretty great).
nintendo does this thing, they release hardware and THEN people start working on making games for it.
the 3DS was poo poo'ed for being a total flop when it was released. but the real problem was that there were no games for it for like a year and a half. but then, lo and behold, here comes a million awesome games and the thing is selling like hotcakes now and crushing the beejeez out of the vita. and all this is happening despite the fact that everyone thinks that everyone just wants to play crappy cellphone games.
so, the wii u will ultimately catch up eventually and do fine, more likely than not.
at the end of the day, nintendo still makes quality stuff and it is still worth schilling out the cash for it.
i have an off and on relationship with my wii u, but im not sorry that i bought it. it'll work out in the end. and it better! since i dont plan on ever buying a new xbox or playstation system ;p
awesome, loved the game. please make more, expansions or new games. next time make it longer and add a wee bit more backstory.
we need a 3d classics version of zelda 3
doubting that this will actually come out in 2013....
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, been waiting too long already
yea this totally is not on the eShop in NA so far and its almost 2pm here on Black Friday. did you get the release date wrong?
guess what, it won't mean the end of nintendo. cell phone games are crappy and even if they vastly improve, you still have to buy and tote around the controller do-hickey in order to use and play the games the right way.
not to mention, they still won't have any nintendo titles for phones so if you want to play ANY of the big N's games, old or new, you still gotta have nintendo hardware.
also, there will always be those of us who grew up playing NES and all of the following systems who are fine with buying nintendo hardware because its a name we can trust.
they still make good stuff, and it's still worth buying devices that dont do anything other than play nintendo games.
so until nintendo is a software producer/licenser only, they are here to stay.
not bad, not bad at all
well i want this game any which way but it is disappointing that its going to cost $30 and only be a download.
got me a sweet sweet blue one to match my XL. thank god there was something worthwhile to spend my zillions of dusty coins on!!!!
wow thats really a shame because the game is actually totally awesome and totally fun and happens to be one of the very best of the very few wii u titles that are out so far.
i agree whole-heartedly, the wii u vc is pathetic so far (though to be fair, the 3DS vc was just as awful at first too) and the 3DS vc has slowed WAY down in terms of quality/enticing/interesting releases. i certainly hope that they both pick up.
i also agree that paying for the same old game yet again is something that alot of people either cannot or simply will not do. a better option does need to be provided.
thinking this is gonna be good, wish there was more to see of it right now
well thats really a shame since rayman legends is totally awesome, even better than origins.
cripes that would be awesome!
as a long-time gamer, i have to say this game does look really really awesome
omg this looks awesome
awesome, hard game but very addictive, would love to see another one.
Just to be clear, the WiiU bundle and the eShop download of the game are apparently out today.
But the retail hard copy of the game and the special edition with the Ganondorf figure are not out until Oct 4th, like originally announced.
Who knew the bundle was gonna come out first???
awesome, love both companies
well i love the idea of off-tv play but with the wii-u i tend to switch back and forth alot. at any rate this device isnt worth the same price tag as the wii u. wait a minute, the wii u isnt even worth it's price tag yet! lol.
maybe if it can emulate every previous-gen system and has a screen as good as the one on the gamepad, it could be kind of fun. and what's up with it needing to use some kind of bluetooth cartridges?
yay! come friday/payday, ima get this for sure. wii u desperately needs some awesome gaming already.
good lord i cant wait, wii u's eShop is HORRIBLY LACKING and this will actually be worth getting. i mean good lord, it hardly even has any demos available, let alone games to buy.
honestly that's kinda cool, 3DS desperately needs to be able to be connected to a TV, if the PSP-Slim did it ages ago, I can't see any reason why nintendo couldn't have implemented the tech to do it. (they did do so at gaming conventions and even if the tech was an add-on, who would care?)
Also, the idea of an HDTV HDMI dongle used to beam the video to the TV is a genious idea that I wished was implemented with the Wii-U.
I know we won't see wireless power anytime soon, I can only assume that is because the infrastructure to charge everyone for it is not exactly in place. But we could at least see wireless video to the TV, that's not even a stretch.
oh my, he is so very right and i have to agree completely. all along it seemed to me that nintendo just made a system and released it, having not even worked with it or developed much for it themselves. i suppose they just assumed that people would be dying to develop for them, but it's not 1990 anymore. as a developer, why wouldn't you go with the company that acknowledges you and tries to work with you? there are only three major consoles to pick from and there are a few studios that make games that sell consoles. why wouldn't you try to cater to them?
i would feel a little insulted too if one of the big companies made a system and then a year or two later came to me begging for games. but that's nintendo, head in the clouds and backwards as ever. they'll persist but they really do need to wake the up and start giving even the slightest care toward things in the real world outside of the incredibly isolated nintendo bubble.
don't get me wrong, i love the 3DS more than I ever thought that I could, but the Wii U has a just as long and arduous a path to go as the 3DS did when it started out. nintendo seems to hope that dreams = money, they rush a system out the door and then it just sits there on the store shelves for a good year or so until both they and developers have a chance to code for it and make some decent games. next time they make a system, they are going to need a stellar and un-ending line-up right from the go.
3ds , definitely
stick with the 3DS version, surprisingly it is the far better of the two.
they are different games, the wii u game is not a direct port or anything, though there are some similarities in the levels of the wiiu version to the original 3DS levels.
the 3DS version has far more content, isn't as frustrating and unforgiving, and isn't so rushed. the experience on 3DS feels far more rewarding overall.
the wii u version does look great and is still fun but is very brief (thankfully it's also pretty cheap). at any rate though, there is extremely little to buy still at this point on the wii u eShop, so this isn't a bad choice at all in that respect.

For the first time this
year gas prices are finally starting to fall after seeing record high numbers.
February's average of $3.65
a gallon was the highest in history for that time of year.
On Tuesday the national
average is $3.70 a gallon, which is eight cents less from just last week. Georgia's
average for a gallon of gas is $3.66, and Alabama's average is $3.58.
We spoke with Vincent
Horton, a Phenix City man who explains what he can do with the gas money he
will save.
"It's wonderful, you
know, like I said, when more people have more money in their pockets they can
do more things like put a smile on, maybe they can do stuff for their kids or
something," said Horton.
According to gas buddy.com,
the cheapest gas in Columbus is at the Raceway on Victory Drive at $3.58 a
You can find the cheapest
gas in Phenix City at the Short Stop on Lee County Road 240 at $3.49 a gallon.

Spot Factoring
What is spot factoring?Spot Factoring and Selective Factoring describe the process of raising finance against individual invoices. It means releasing cash locked up in invoices, one invoice at a time. Spot factoring or single invoice factoring is a new alternative to traditional wholesale factoring facilities.
- Spot factoring facilities provide greater flexibility and enable you to sell a single invoice or bundle of invoices when you need it most
- Without entering into lengthy and potentially expensive contracts
- Spot factoring allows faster access to capital
Spot factoring is defined as the purchase of a single "once off" invoice as opposed to full or repeat factoring. If not disclosed, it can be known as selective invoice discounting. A defining feature of small and medium sized businesses in the UK is the volatility of their monthly cash flows. Traditional factoring can be ill-suited to these cash flow fluctuations: minimum monthly fees penalise companies at times when they do not need to draw down on funds.
What are the draw-backs of whole-turnover factoring?
- Loss of control of your credit function,
- Overly aggressive chasing of your outstanding invoices which damages client relationships,
- Prevalence of all-asset debentures and personal guarantees as security,
- Exclusion of certain classes of invoices which limits actual funding provided.

Using antibiotics too often with kids may be a much bigger problem than any ear infection. Pediatricians are taking that to heart, and as a result, a lot of parents are taking kids to the doctor and leaving without a prescription these days -- that's a good thing according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"We found that the number of antibiotics prescribed to children seen in physician offices in the United States for respiratory infections decreased from 37 million in 1989 to 23 million in 2000. This could be because parents are not bringing their child in to see the doctor if they know the doctor won't prescribe an antibiotic for a viral respiratory illness. It could also mean that clinicians are not treating certain conditions with antibiotics that they did in the past, such as fluid behind the eardrum," says Linda McCraig at the National Center for Health Stats.
In the JAMA report, McCraig reminds parents not to feel slighted if your doctor turns you away without antibiotics because antibiotics will do nothing for a virus anyway. They only work against bacterial infections and researchers are hopeful that fewer prescriptions will help prevent the growing problem of antibiotic resistance, particularly in kids who may have been prescribed them too often in the past.

So our draft picks are 1st round, 2nd round, 3rd round, 2 4th rounds, 1 5th round, 1 6th round, and 1 7th round pick. I got that all from here with notes being there:
Now our value for all these picks is for the 1st round 6th overall is 302.4. Considering the first pick is 496.6 points that is a HUGE difference. Also Andrew Luck sort of breaks this as well, multiply 496.6 by about 10 and that's the real worth of this year's draft pick. I am not for that at all. I think it is stupid that the Colts can get Peyton Manning with one bad year and then have another bad year and have the worst year and pick up the best prospect since Peyton Manning. My strategy for this draft is to trade down if these conditions are existing:
RGIII is gone
Claiborne is gone
Blackmon is gone
Kalil is gone
The chances of all these people being gone are pretty high but if one person is high on Richardson (as they should be because he is a beast) then we have a chance for any four of those and we just draft any one of these four.
Now let us say that we have these people gone. What is left?
Richardson, Reiff, Martin to name a few. Now I do not have such strong feelings for Reiff for unknown reasons (even to me) but I just do not see him as a legitimate prospect. Martin though I believe is higher ranked than him.
For position rankings of what we need the most at first is without a doubt DB. We just cannot get beaten. We need a good DB. Now a consideration for this pick should be Chase Minniefield of Virginia (trade back needed as he is too high for 6th pick). With Kirkpatrick being kind of enough to get a charge for marijuana possession and Janoris Jenkins going to D II for another charge I cannot remember, Minniefield fits a nice picture.
As a Cavalier fan, I have seen Minniefield play this year and he rocked. During the Georgia Tech game he asked the coaches to be a one-man island vs the top receiver of GT who at that time was leading in YAC with over 20 yd's per catch. Now granted GT is an option team that throws the ball about 5 times a game and the receiver was targeted twice. One of those times, Minniefield picked it off and the other was an incomplete. He can run as low as a 4.38 40 which is great. His character is unquestionable as he won an off-the-field award on something I cannot remember (sorry). He is coming off an injury which he did not participate in the Chick-Fil-A bowl and Senior Bowl. It isn't as serious as a neck injury though.
There is talk that we need a DL but I have no problem with our DL. Bowen and Cofield are great players and Jenkins is coming back and will beast. He is coming back, first injury of his career. Seriously. Neild would be a great part of the rotation that will destroy OL's. Carriker if he would like 2-3 million would be another piece to the puzzle.
Remember that time when we had one of the best O-Lines in the whole NFL? Yea, me too. We need depth and if we spent a 1-3 round on a guy I would not object. Hell, 2 picks would be great.
Time for controversy. After RG III and Luck there are no real legitimate QB prospects. I believe next year would be a great pick-up though *cough Barkley cough Landry cough* If you want my reason for Landry, one word: Bradford.
Same college, and look how Bradford did.
So time for my mock draft
Round 1: Shanahan looks at the remaining people with the 6th pick and sees one name that sticks out: Richardson. He likes him but he knows that he already has two young RB's in Roy Helu and Evan Royster and decides to trade back...
Yes Hello, this is the Green Bay Packers. We would like to pull an Atlanta Falcons and send our 1st, 2nd, 4th, next year's 1st and 4th next year to you.
Shanahan ponders this and agrees.
Side note reason: Grant their RB is 29 and being a FA this year. He wants big bucks but he is about to hit 30 so yea. They have other RB's but a chance to take Trent Richardson? An all-around beast, great back? Urge is quite big. This might help them establish a ground game and get to the Super Bowl next year.
So now we drop to the 27th pick (oh the horror!) and with this pick the Shanahan's pick: STEPHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN GILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLMMMMMMORRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE out of South Carolina. A physical CORNER-BACK that should be being at least the third CB on the depth chart meaning he will see a lot of playing time.
2nd pick 6th overall: DWAAAAAAAAYNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE ALLLLLLLLLENNNNNNNNNNNNN (TE) out of Clemson. This is probably a Fred Davis pick without the drug suspensions. If Cooley gets injured or Davis gets one more suspension (season-ending next) This would be a great pick-up as he is a great TE.
After taking the NFL world by surprise by actually building for the future and not shooting for veterans right away and this being talked to death it is time for day 2.
2nd pick 27th pick:
MARRRRRRRRRRKKKKKLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEE MARTINNNNNNNNNNNNNN (FS) out of Oklahoma State. He is a physical DB that with Gomes shall be a great tandem. This can also help bolster the position if Laron Landry leaves.
That are some of my picks.
Maybe we should address Nate Potter OT as our 3rd round pick with Acho being our other other pick (ILB) but that are some of my thoughts.

The goals of the project included: 1) identification of the nature, extent, and underlying causes of CSE and the CSEC occurring in the three countries of the North American Free Trade region--the U.S., Canada, and Mexico; 2) identification of those subgroups of children that are at the greatest risk of being sexually exploited; 3) identification of subgroups of adult perpetrators of sex crimes against children—including pimps, traffickers, and adult "customers" of children for sex; 4) identification of the extent to which organized criminal units are involved in the CSEC; 5) identification of the modes of operation and other methods used by organized criminal units to recruit children into sexually exploitive activities; 6) identification of local, state and national laws relating to CSE and the CSEC; 7) identification of international agreements, covenants and declarations pertaining to CSE and the CSEC; 8) identification of the strengths and weakness of the country's current capacity for preventing CSE, or at least protecting children from its commercial manifestations; and, 9) with governmental and nongovernmental leaders, frame recommendations designed to strengthen the nation's capacity to prevent and protect the nation's and region's children from sexual exploitation.

Goldring Reentry Initiative (GRI)
The Goldring Reentry Initiative (GRI) is an exciting new initiative at Penn Social Policy & Practice (SP2). The goal of the program - reduce recidivism within the Philadelphia prison system.
Currently more people are incarcerated in the United States than at any point in our history. Currently more than 2.3 million people are incarcerated; almost another 5 million are under the supervision of Parole or Probation. The percentage of women being incarcerated has grown over 700% in the last 10 years. These numbers while only the tip of the iceberg, represent the punitive and often times draconian approach in dealing with crime over the past three decades.
While funding for prisons has exponentially increased during this unprecedented period of mass incarceration, little of that spending has been allocated to funding programs deemed rehabilitative. Men and women are oftentimes released from prison with nothing more than a bus ticket and $40 dollars (this amount varies with each state); facing the same unresolved challenges that led to prison, but now having the stigma that comes with being an "Ex-con, Parolee etc".
As a result, of the nearly 700,000 people released back into their communities each year, more than two-thirds end up back in prison (recidivate) within 3 years; continuing the viscous cycle of mass incarceration which not only affects the perpetrator, but families, communities, taxpayers and most importantly, public safety.
The primary goal of the GRI at SP2 is to reduce recidivism within the Philadelphia communities. Clinical and macro level social work student interns will work with the Department of Corrections to provide holistic assessments and develop comprehensive service plans, which include identifying and developing community resources to enable success reentry. The work will begin when individuals are three months to release and will continue in the community three months after to enable a greater continuum of care. The initiative is led by SP2 professor Joretha Bourjolly and SP2 doctoral student Kirk James.
We believe that issues of mass incarceration and subsequent recidivism represent a grave threat to social justice and equality in the United States. The GRI at SP2 is committed to fostering best practices and policy utilizing social work as the catalyst for change!

Intelligence for Social Policy (ISP)
Intelligence for Social Policy (ISP) is an initiative funded by the Catherine T. and John D. MacArthur Foundation in 2009 through a three-year grant to University of Pennsylvania Professors Dennis Culhane, School of Social Policy and Practice, and John Fantuzzo, Graduate School of Education. The principal aim of ISP is to improve the quality of education, health and human service agencies' policies and practices through the use of integrated data systems. Quality integrated data systems are designed to help executive leaders in municipal, county and state government evaluate and establish effective programs and services for the people they serve.

Latino Social Service & Policy Initiative
There are various components and rationales that go into defining the characteristics and composition of a new initiative. As a progressive institution that thrives on being an innovator in both the fields of research and practical training the School of Social Policy & Practice (in conjunction with other programs and departments throughout the University at large) witness a need to serve and simultaneously be accountable to the changing landscape of Philadelphia's growing Latin@ population, as well as that of the larger Delaware Valley Area. Seeing a gap in the number of social services and policy initiatives focusing on the experiences of Latin@s, the School of Social Policy & Practice will begin to train the next generation of leaders who will serve our Latin@ communities, while building critical partnerships between the Philadelphia community and the campus writ large.
It is with these interests that The Latin@ Social Service & Policy Initiative consists of, but is not limited to two primary goals:
- The initiative aims to educate students in the respective fields of Social Work, Social Policy, and Non-Profit Leadership for leadership positions serving the Latin@ community.
- The initiative seeks to be responsive to and expresses the importance of doing work within the Latin@ community as well as being mindful of the multitude of social issues and concerns that adversely affect the community at large.
Penn Aging Concentration (PAC)
The PENN Aging Concentration (PAC), in partnership with a consortium of community agencies is offering a special opportunity to earn a Master in Social Work (MSW) with a concentration in services to older persons. The PAC program prepares students in the advanced year for clinical or macro social work careers and leadership in social work services at one of the premier MSW programs in the United States. PAC addresses the critical need in the US for well-trained and skilled geriatric social workers.
Demographic trends, most notably the aging of the baby boom cohort, clearly show that demand for social workers knowledgeable about the issues and needs of older adults and skilled in the development and delivery of services, will increase dramatically over the next few years.
PAC provides a number of exciting opportunities including the following:
- A specialized curriculum in "aging" leading to the Master of Social Work (MSW).
- Advanced training from Hartford Geriatric Social Work Faculty Scholars.
- Internships working with older persons on a continuum from well to end of life.
- Special high impact projects to develop leadership skills.
- Rotational and integrative field seminars to bridge the Field Internship and course work.
- Financial stipends in the advanced year of the MSW program.
- Assistance with career planning.
- Internships offer opportunities to both develop skills in working with individuals and families but also with systems and organizations that serve older persons.
The PAC Program is part of the Geriatric Social Work Initiative funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation.
Social Impact of the Arts Project (SIAP)
SIAP is a research center of the Penn School of Social Policy & Practice. Since 1994, it has undertaken a variety of policy research projects on the role that cultural institutions play in the metropolitan Philadelphia region and its neighborhoods. Our website provides access to the Project's working papers, a summary of its findings, and some of its current activities. (www.sp2.upenn.edu/SIAP)
Field Placement is an integral part of the curriculum at SP2. The Field Department works with over 590 agencies across 5 states to provide optimal learning experiences for students. Areas of practice include both clinical and macro opportunities for students to gain practical skills working in a wide variety of practice settings. Generally, students complete two field placements in different agencies in their foundation and advanced year.
Full-time students are in field placement 3 days per week both years, for 30 weeks. Part-time students are in field 16 hours/week for 39 weeks the second year, and 36 weeks the third year.

Generations have sought financial independence through both economic highs and lows. Take time to reflect on what you can do to help ensure long-term financial stability for yourself and your family. Consider the following ideas and actions:
• Be true to yourself. While a competitive personality may help you get ahead in some areas of your life, no one wins when you try to keep up with "the Jones'." It is important to understand your own financial circumstances and resist the urge to match the lifestyle of those around you. Expensive lifestyles that indicate financial success may simply be a façade for big spenders. Instead of following their lead, consider your budget, long-term goals, and personal values when making important financial decisions. Pursue your own happiness within your means and the real prize – a secure financial future – will likely follow.
• Pay yourself first. This may not be the first time you have heard the advice to "pay yourself first." This guidance is relevant through all economic circumstances and life stages. Explore and take advantage of every opportunity you have to fund your savings with minimal effort. Automatically invest a portion of every paycheck into your retirement account and be sure to maximize any employer match available to you. It is also easy to set up an automatic transfer from your checking account to your savings account, or to have a specified amount regularly direct-deposited from your paycheck. A system like this makes saving a priority while also allowing you to meet your monthly expenses.
• Be realistic and be prepared. Optimism is a classic trait, but do not let this otherwise positive characteristic cloud your judgment. Have you considered what may happen if you faced a sudden job loss, long-term illness, natural disaster, or other unexpected event? Review your insurance coverage (including life, health, disability, property, auto, and long-term care policies) and ensure you and your family are properly protected. It is also a good idea to have enough liquid assets available to cover several months' worth of expenses. Though it may not be fun to temporarily squelch your optimism, most people feel more confident about the future once they know they are financially prepared for a variety of scenarios.
• Control your debt. Payments on consumer debt, student loans, and excessive car, or mortgage payments can cripple your ability to save and make you feel like you will be financially dependent for eternity. Though the best approach is to minimize how much you borrow, take control by establishing a plan that will systematically reduce the outstanding balance on any existing loans. Another bonus to systematically reducing your debt is an improved credit rating, which may allow you to access loans when opportunities that could benefit your financial position arise, like a small business venture, low interest equity line of credit, or refinance.
• Put your plan in writing. Create a written plan that outlines your personal dreams and goals, as well as the actions you will need to take to achieve them. If the financial part seems overwhelming, consider consulting a financial advisor. He or she can provide guidance on saving for retirement, funding your child's education, or working toward any other financial goal that is important to you.
The pursuit of happiness means something different to everyone. Planning ahead and establishing financial independence can play an important role, not only in pursuing happiness, but also in helping your goals and dreams become a reality.

His parents met on Christmas Day, and Lorenzo was born on Christmas Day. Happy Hatch Holidays!
Oldest of five children from his father's first wife Sylvia (with twenty half-siblings), Lorenzo Lafayette became the man of the house at an early age, as his father Lorenzo Hill Hatch was frequently away on various missions. To distinguish the father and son, L.L. was often called Lafayette or simply Fayette (and was Lafey to his dad). When almost eleven years old, Lafayette had a difficult time driving the cattle from Lehi, Utah, to their new home in Franklin Idaho, a journey of six days. As a youth, he guarded cattle from the Indians, labored on the farm, and held a lantern at night as his father did carpentry work. He had some narrow escapes as he got caught in snowdrifts while hauling logs, was dragged by runaway horses, and was nearly crushed by logs. Lafayette attended school in Franklin and had one year of schooling in Logan. Planting trees and creating the Franklin cemetery were a particular project of his, and singing and square dancing were his relaxation.
Lafayette married Annie after a happy courtship of picnics, dances, and corn-husking bees. He left his young family to serve a mission to England in 1884-1886. There he tried to meet his estranged father-in-law John Scarborough, who slammed the door in his face. The Hatch family was later amused when some of Lafayette's English converts moved to Idaho and pronounced his name with a British accent: L.L. Hatch became "Hell Hell Atch." Annie met him in Pennsylvania on his way home from his mission to do some genealogy research on the Hatch line.
Lafayette's father, who had been bishop and mayor of Franklin, spent twenty-four years on a mission in southern Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico. Lafayette ran the home front, taking care of his mother and grandmother and siblings left at home in Idaho, and corresponding frequently with his father on business matters and overseeing those affairs. He also replaced his father in his same church calling and served as bishop in Franklin for thirty-one years. He had the same two counselors the entire time and it was understood to be a Church record for an unbroken bishopric (Lafayette served his mission simultaneously with being bishop). As a bishop, Lafayette had an experience in 1898 when Moses Thatcher, a recently excommunicated apostle, visited the ward and was not invited to sit on the stand. Some ward members were offended and contacted headquarters. President Wilford Woodruff wrote Bishop Hatch a letter commending his actions and expressing his confidence and trust in him (and calling the ward members to repentance for supporting apostasy).
Lafayette helped quarry rock for the Logan Temple. He was concerned with irrigation water ditches and farmed sugar beets, and his journal evidences his hard-working nature as well as religious devotion: every day during the busy sugar beet season of 1916 he wrote "beets" except for Sundays, when he wrote SS&M (Sunday School and Meetings). He inherited his father's skills as an inventor. One such invention was using the motor of a washing machine to turn the ice cream freezer, so they often had ice cream on washday. He also put a pump inside the kitchen for running water.
|Hatch family c. 1900
When his daughter Blanche was born, Lafayette missed the birth since he had taken his son to the circus. Lafayette's second wife Sarah caused tension in the family: Annie was not thrilled with polygamy, and Sarah was infertile and jealous. Lafayette stayed with Sarah on Thursday nights, and they adopted two children. Lafayette went underground during the polygamy persecution of the 1880s, grew a beard and moustache, and dyed his moustache dark as a disguise. His children thought the Hyde Park from his mission stories was "Hide Park" due to their father's efforts to be elusive in this era.
Lafayette and Annie were a popular couple, who enjoyed entertaining and singing together. When his son Hezekiah was born after several girls, Lafayette was so proud it was said he wanted to give him all the names in the Bible, but stopped at two (Hezekiah James). Lafayette received an appointment as a postmaster for two four-year terms, but characteristically did not want to take advantage of his opponent, a widow, and gave the first two years of his first term over to her. He was also the County Commissioner on the Republican ticket, served on the Board of Education, was a leader in getting the water works, telephone, and electric light system established in the village, and gave much time to the beautification of the Franklin Cemetery. Lafayette had one of the first automobiles in Franklin. He was a respected citizen and hard-worker, a patriotic and noble man.
I'm sure he'd love a fun new gadget for his birthday this year--an iPad on which to keep his journal.

Simply stunning
In a stunning move on March 16 Barack Obama signed an executive order stating that the President and his specifically-designated secretaries now have the authority to commandeer all U.S. resources including food and water.
The executive order also states that the President and his secretaries have the authority to seize all transportation, energy and infrastructure inside the U.S. as well as forcibly induct/draft American citizens into the military. The executive order also contains a vague reference in regards to harnessing American citizens to fulfill "labor requirements" for the purpose of national defense.
Not only that, but the authority claimed inside the executive order does not only apply to national emergencies and times of war it also applies in peace time. I think that the political stage is set that Obama thinks he will be elected. If true, then we will be living under a red America.
This will be the most important election to save our nation from communist take over. The younger generations better stand up and let congress know who they are supposed to represent. God have mercy on this nation.

Best kept secret
The contents of Obama-Care are the best kept secret.
Obama-Care is supported by people who want to receive as many free-bees from the government as is possible and become more dependent upon the government for their sustenance.
Unfortunately, they do not realize they are bankrupting this country which would destroy our standard of living.
Now for some information on Obama-Care. Obama-Care will cost the taxpayers approximately $2.5 trillion.
The terms of this bill will encourage the over use of medical services and result in higher medical costs. The lack of any tort protection will encourage low suits all at further costs.
The receivers of medical services under the terms of Obama-Care will not care as to the amount of medical services or the costs thereof as someone else is paying the bill.
The bureaucrats will make all decisions as to whether you are entitled to a medical procedure or, if so, what procedure and when and what, if any, medications. The government feels that you do not have the competence to decide what you need.
Obama claims that Obama-Care will not run at a loss and the financial benefits from Obama-Care will help reduce the federal deficit. Just another lie. The next big lie by Obama is that Obama-Care will reduce the cost of health care.
The adding of 30 million people to a health care program will add enormous costs to providing health care.
The majority of these people will be Mexicans, young people and welfare people who cannot afford to pay for Obama-Care coverage.
Obama-Care will require massive expansion of medical clinics, hospitals, doctors and nurses and medical support personnel and will require more and more taxes to provide the same.
The congressional budget office advised congress that the costs of Obama-Care would continue to increase each year.
The Federal Department of Health quietly advised Obama many of the large employers will eventually drop their employees' health insurance and dump them into Obama-Care thus relieving them of the expense of providing health insurance.
When McDonald's decided to cancel their health care insurance of its employees and dump them in Obama-Care the Secretary of Health gave McDonald's a complete waiver from Obama-Care.
Sen. Pelosi has already given dozens of waivers from Obama-Care to her business friends.
An independent actuary advised the State of Indians that by entirely dropping out of Obama-Care and paying the fine for doing so the state can save 300 million each year.
All aspects of private health insurance companies will be under the control of federal bureaucrats who will dictate what products insurance companies can sell, what their content will be, where they can be sold and how much they can charge and what insurance the individual can buy. This control will put a great number of small health care companies out of business.
One of the many changes that have occurred in Obama-Care is that premiums for young people will be increased by 17 percent as the amount of the increase will be used to provide extra funds for the elderly.
Because the terms of Obama-Care are so long (2,400 pages) and complicated more unknown problems will arise.
All individuals must buy the health care insurance that Obama-Care requires or they will be fined.
Senior citizens under Medicare will be squeezed for the government is reducing the funding for Medicare by 500 million in order to help fund Obama-Care.
Obama-Care is putting the federal government into a new business of health care.
The federal government has a bad track record of running business all of which has been suffering major losses, such as the Post Office, Amtrak, Fannie Mae, Social Security, Medicare, etc.
The federal government, by taking over health care insurance, will further increase the dependence of the public on the government for all their needs and no independence of one's self.
We really do not need this expensive and complicated takeover of health care by the federal government.

Got Beads has passion
As one of the almost 50 participants in the "1,000 Bracelets for All Children's Hospital," Tampa Bay day at Got Beads on Deltona Boulevard in Spring Hill on Saturday, I was real happy to see Hernando Today's photo of the 4-year-old little girl making a bracelet too for the children.
She now has a special childhood memory of just how good it feels to spend time doing something you enjoy very much and then donating her work to help children who need to heal and know they are special.
I am prompted to thank the owner Carole Macedo for offering her store, beading supplies, refreshments and teaching talent to make it all possible. I encourage your readers who have a need to bead or want to learn to make beautiful jewelry to visit Got Beads.
Carole has helped me and others to do something creative that benefits both human and animal charities we are passionate about. Her compassion benefits my passion.

I consider myself a very forgiving and forgetting person, probably because it takes to much energy to keep a grudge. Yet if you want to make my blood pressure rise, my fists clench, and my anger roar, then mention the words Pittsburgh Steelers. I will shut my eyes the millisecond NFl Network shows that Super Bowl touchdown that crushed our dreams. I can't stand this team known as the Steelers and yet somehow here I am typing up an article on how our beloved Cardinal's team is becoming a mirror imaged of Super Bowl rival.
Comparisons always bring controversy. Think about all the Michael Jordan comparisons that stir up emotion or anytime we like to compare Eli and Peyton. Some will agree and some won't. I understand if you don't see eye to eye with my observation but keep your mind open. You see, culture change is constant in this world and we either fight it or embrace. We are experiencing a very positive culture change here in the Arizona Sports Atmosphere and I would say we have embraced it. The way we view the Cardinals and our expectations have changed over the past few years and more and more we are looking like another sport's team culture across the country.
There is the first and most obvious point in this comparison, and that would be our team's personal. Most articles that have made the Arizona/Pittsburgh comparison only cover this one point. In our coaches we have Whisenhunt, Grimm, and Horton. Our current players from Pittsburgh are Nick Eason, Clark Haggans, and William Gay. But just because they are from the Steeler's team doesn't bring too much to the argument, rather, it's the ideals they brought with them. Whisenhunt brought a winning philosophy here to the desert and quickly changed us around. His "pass happy" offense may be very different from Pittsburgh's style of play but his expectations of winning seasons are the same expectations found in the town of Pittsburgh. Remember the days we were so open to poke fun of the way we lost game after game. We were alright with the status quo of losing season after season. Well that joke has gotten old now and we expect better. These expectations don't only come from our head coach but from the man who can be credited with our remarkable turnaround in defense.
Ray Horton is from the Steelers and has given the gift of a dominant defense. It's what Pittsburgh is best known for. The Steal Curtain. Defense wins championships. We are moving from the idea that we can play shootout with our opponent. We want to be that dominant defense and the expectations are in the players and fans. Each time I'm at the training camp I hear others and also find myself cheering for the defense. We don't want top 10 defense, we expect to be in the top 5. Crazy right? We are shifting to a defensive power mindset and which has never been spotted in the desert.
A culture change always comes with the changer and the one embracing the change. Us, the fans, the Red Sea have helped in this mindset shift (good job!). If you have been to training camp this year then you know that it's been packed! I recently went today, a Wednesday afternoon, and it was filled with fans. The fans are investing huge amount of time to see our Cardinals in action and it amazes me to see this change. I was sitting next to an elderly group of people today at the camp and they kept going on about how "back in the day, nobody showed up to these!" It's true, very few people showed up back in the day of Cardinals of old. This year we are waiting and watching for something great. It's what we expect now. You would have to be foolish to yell "band wagon!" after a season start like last year. It's amazing, I believe the Super Bowl bandwagon is empty. The fans are true and dedicated now. I gain a bit of joy anytime I see a young fan wearing Cardinal's apparel. Whenever I drive around Phoenix and see the countless Cardinal's license plates and huge bumper stickers I see a new culture. No longer is Arizona that melting pot of fans. We don't have to be a second home to Bear's, Cowboy's and even Steeler's fans. We are the Cardinal's home. It seems we have finally grasped the idea of a home team. There is dedication to this team. Huge turnouts even during uncertainty at important positions in the team and another season that we have missed the playoffs shows that we no longer accept losing. It's the same mindset of the crazy Terrible Towel wavers. The culture here is new and exciting for us. Let's embrace it even if we are a bunch of copy cats.
