As time passes, I believe UT is moving further and further away from the two high school quarterbacks on the west coast ( Scroggins and Heaps). These are the two prospects most UT fans covet certainly. I don't think either ends up at UT though. In my opinion, Heaps goes to BYU or Washington. Not certain where the other prospect ends up. Scroggins as I understand isn't planning on visiting Knoxville until late June and his decision would not come to late summer or early fall. I believe this staff would like to have at least one piece of the quarterback recruiting puzzle firmed up by the early part of June (on or about the time summer position and team camps start at UT) .
Also, for those who are holding out hope UT gets involved with Joe Montana's son, Nick, I don't see that happening. While they have evaluated him, he is just learning the pro style offense and talent evaluators refer to him as a "project" meaning he would likely have to be brought along slowly if he plays at a school running a pro-style system. I just don't see this staff signing a quarterback prospect they likely won't get any on field contribution from for two maybe three years.
With that said…
Contrary to some media reports, I believe the Hendrix kid from Cincinnati has legitimate interest in UT. This is a prospect who has seen his stock climb as more schools view his tape and watch him throw during this current evaluation period. Schools like Miami, (FL) and Ohio State highlight a number of high-profile schools now trying to get involved with the prospect. He was on campus for spring drills, attended the Orange and White game, and has an offer from UT.. After the UT staff saw him throw in person, I believe he is firmly in the mix.
UT has recently offered quarterback prospects in Louisiana (Legeaux) and Florida (Morris). Both are big, athletic prospects. Plus there is a high school quarterback prospect in Alabama (Coty Blanchard); a quarterback prospect in Colorado (Austin Hinder); in Georgia (Hutson Mason); and, an instate kid from the mid-state (Wallace if memory serves me correctly ) they also have interest in
It would not surprise me if there is another prospect we aren't hearing much about right now that moves to the forefront in the next couple of weeks.
I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about this evaluation by Mr. X on the QB situation at UT. I agree that our recruiting process is great and that our gaping hole at the QB spot should provide compelling opportunity for a 5 star quality prospect to drool over.
We have great buzz at UT and watching the 2010 class unfold is going to be almost as much fun as what we do on the field in year 1 of the Kiffin era.

Rhode Island firefighters rushed to the rescue of a dog that had fallen through the ice on a partially frozen Cranston pond Wednesday.
The dog had apparently fallen through the ice and could not get out.
The dog's owner was not present at the time of the rescue.
The cold and scared canine was taken to a local veterinarian to be examined.
He will be placed in the care of Cranston Animal Control until his owner can be found.

More than a dozen Columbus families woke-up Halloween morning to find their cars broken into, and some stolen.
News Leader 9 spoke with one woman who said she always locked her car doors, but it was something inside one of her cars that gave the thieves easy access.
Brandy Pearson was furious after getting more tricks than treats on Halloween.
"It's Halloween and… it's aggravating to people like us because we work hard," Pearson declared.
Pearson lives in The Enclave portion of Whisperwood Apartments on Flat Rock Road in Columbus. She said she was getting ready to take her son to school when she noticed her 1994 white Honda Accord was missing from the parking lot.
"I noticed that there was another lady, and her car had been vandalized," said Pearson.
Columbus police report several cars had been ransacked, destroyed, and even stolen.
"We noticed about four or five of them that had been vandalized," claimed Pearson.
Outside of Whisperwood Apartments, over about a 20 mile radius from Sugar Mill Apartments on Schomburg Road to Lakebottom Park, CPD reported 12 cars had been broken into, and four stolen.
Pearson says she was hit twice.
"My husband parked right beside [the Honda]. We have a Kia Sorento and I didn't know it but he had an extra key to the Honda in there. I guess when they went into the Kia, they noticed the Honda key, and I guess they put two and two together," Pearson said.
A day later, Pearson had yet to recover the Honda. She said she did not feel safe in her home anymore, and was making plans to move soon.
Police do not have any suspects at this time. If you have any information on who could be responsible for the string of thefts and break-ins, you are encouraged to call Columbus Police at 706-653-3400.

The thing about fansigns is that sometimes you just have to commit to them. When I found out about this Jongno fansign for BTS, I was like… okay, I'm going to buy 7 albums and go for it and if I don't get in, then I'm DOOMED. Not really, but I was pretty all or nothing for this one—which is why I was so excited when I found out I got in!
Of course, knowing a full day in advance that I would be attending the fansign didn't mean that I was prepared, actually. I didn't write any questions until I was already on the bus toward the venue with Bianca, and even then, I only ended up giving questions to 2 of the members. (I gave Jungkook a post-it that said "please draw whatever you want in this space" but that doesn't really count, lol.) Originally I'd intended to give questions to all, but then I thought of asking them to sign their photocards instead so I didn't want to give each member a question as well…

Did you know that the most expensive movie to be created ever is Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds's End? The estimated cost to produce it was $300.000.000! A lot of people watch this movie!
Did you know that the most expensive movie flop in the history is Cutthroat Island (from 1995), total cost was $115.000.000 but it only earned back around $18.500.000! Well we think this movie will soon take the second place now when Brad Pitt's movie World War Z has been released since they have already spent over $200.000.000 just to re-write and re-shoot the FINAL ACT! Talk about wasting money! I'm still gonna watch this movie online though ;)
Did you know that the movie Paranormal Activity only cost $15.000 to create but generated an huge $197.000.000 of gross revenue! Talk about good investment! I don't like horror movies so I haven't seen any of them (there are five)

Managing projects
We have placed increased importance on Project Management in the way we work, not by hiring scores of project managers, but by absorbing the discipline into the day to day practises of every developer.
Our developers are not only trained in project management, they have practical experience producing systems in multiple platforms and technologies. On beginning a new engagement we will focus on the key business and technical success criteria that will shape the project plan. Project technologies are then chosen to fit.
We believe it's crucial that our technology does not constrain the system as there are invariably legacy systems or management considerations that bear on the technologies decision, but is flexible and efficient. We have accordingly built capabilities that lean towards 'Agile' development and that stretch across multiple programming paradigms.
We are able to support our approach through the high calibre and low turnover of staff. Our skills extend beyond any one platform or language, allowing us to manage complex and critical design and integration projects.

As reported by ESPNEighttheOcho, Lovie Smith and the entire coaching staff of the Bears have been let ago earlier this morning. Apparently around 12:01 AM, Phil Emery slipped on some wet tile in his bathroom and received two simultaneous visions. His first vision, as told by him at the 4:45 AM press conference:
I started drawing a Y shaped thing made out of ribbon lights that I call a flux capacitor. Attached to a 1983 DMC DeLorean DMC-12, it will allow the car to travel to four different time periods: 1955, 1985, 2015, and 1885.
After rambling about this and the need for plutonium, he promptly fired Lovie Smith and then stated:
Mike Martz will be rehired as the head coach of the Bears. After consulting with him earlier this morning at around 2 AM (ESPN8 has learned from trusted sources that Martz was painting passi
ng plays on the side of his house), we have decided to not hire any assistant coaches. We won't need any defensive coaches as we don't plan to play any defense at all. Our strategy will be to double up on receivers, TE's who can't block well, and multiple QB's. Our hope is that the opposing O gets so tired trying to match the score that they falter down the stretch.
In Other News, the Green Bay Packers are being investigated in their recent stock sales by the SEC. Reports are unconfirmed, but it appears the the SEC's belief is that the entire Packer organization is actually a pyramid scheme, with Viking Coach Leslie Frazier the secret mastermind behind the scheme. Trusted sources within the SEC say possible repercussions would include shifting GB into the CFL, as the source said"
"...they are essentially Canadian anyway. They are almost as bad as those from Michigan. Did you know part of Michigan doesn't touch any part of the US and only Canada? Supposedly those crazy Michiganers use Maple Syrup as currency rather then dollars.....foreign devils....make sure to wear tin foil hats to avoid CIA head penetrating mind reader.....Teddy Roosevelt is alive...."
In Lighter News......Brian Urlacher has announced that he will be conducting a talent search for America's Next Top Linebacker. Additional judges Mike Ditka, Dick Butkis, and Mike Singletary are eagerly awaiting the start of the new season. Butkis could be heard on set yelling at the potential contestants, "you are all hitting like scared thirteen year old girls. You have to put the fear of God into the opposing RB."
That's all for today.

Australia's favourite psychedelic indie-electronic adventurers
PopGun & Neon Gold present Miami Horror (live) w/ ASTR(Le) Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, New York, NY) Map it $20
PopGun & Neon Gold present Miami Horror (live) w/ ASTR
After years in the making here at last is Illumination, the fully realized debut album from Australia's favourite psychedelic indie-electronic adventurers Miami Horror. With Illumination, Miami Horror has delivered on the promise of two years of teeth-cutting live shows and an ever escalating wave of buzz that's made the group bonafide blog darlings the world over. But what's most amazing about the grand arrival of Illumination is that the roots of the record stretch back countless moons to when Miami Horror began as just one synthesizer-obsessed producer huddled over a laptop in a bedroom-come-studio and the album itself just a spark waiting to be lit.
Kick started by Ben Plant, Miami Horror was created out of a love of Roland keyboards and French house, landing the young producer on everyone's radar overnight with a slew of sharp remixes and productions in his arsenal. Yet it was while Ben was punching out 2008's epochal Bravado EP that Miami Horror took off in a completely new and different direction thanks to the recruitment of Josh Moriarty, the wiry guitarist and dexterous vocalist that would become Miami Horror's powerhouse frontman. Together the two cut the lushly organic summer jam Sometimes with Josh on croon duties and the idea to drastically alter Miami Horror's genetic makeup into a crowd-swelling live entity was born.
"It started out that I didn't want to have any guitar on the album besides a little funk guitar or disco bass," Ben grins while explaining the turning point for Miami Horror's evolution. "But then Josh came in and started playing all these other parts that sounded amazing. Paired with what I was working on, nobody was doing anything like it, so I knew we had to turn those sounds into a live thing and just go wild." (read more at lpr.com)
ASTR is a duo that lives, works and writes music in New York City. After meeting three years ago in a Manhattan yoga class, they discovered they shared a musical and artistic sensibility informed by cinema noire, Miami Vice and urban dreamscapes. ASTR was soon born.
Zoe is a New York native and former major label refuge. After a hiatus from music to explore the world via spirituality she met Adam, a recovering vinyl addict with a penchant for 60′s / 70′s cinema scores, Disco, and the fingers for anything with keys (vintage synths, guitar and bass).

As you might be able to guess because of its similarity to "internal," the Spanish verb internar is related to the concept of going into a place. Although it isn't a particularly common verb, it is used under a broad set of circumstances.
Perhaps the most common meaning of internar refers to the admitting of someone to a hospital or other institution where someone is confined, or to keeping that person there:
- Internaron al futbolista en un hospital. They admitted the soccer player to a hospital.
- Para evitar la prisión, Hernández se internó en una clínica psiquiátrica. In order to avoid prison, Hernandez checked himself into a psychiatric clinic.
- Se empeñaban en la creación de escuelas residenciales donde podrían internar y controlar a los indígenas. They insisted on the creation of residential schools where they could confine and control the natives.
- El cantante se internó en centro de rehabilitación. The singer admitted himself into a rehab center.
Internar can also refer to physical entry into a building or territory. It often, but not always, has a military usage.
- Las tropas se internaron por sólo cinco kilómetros en territorio alemán. The troops entered only five kilometers into German territory.
- El barco llegó al puerto y los ocupantes se internaron el país. The boat arrived at the port and the occupants entered the country.
- Si se van a internar más allá de la franja fronteriza, tendrán que tramitar una I-94 en la frontera. If they're going to go beyond the border zone, they will need to take care of the I-94 paperwork at the border.
A less common meaning of the reflexive form, internarse, is to delve deeply into something to gain understanding. Fue también un humanista que se internó en el estudio de la historia. He was also a humanist who got deep into the study of history.
Use of interno: The only closely related word in everyday use is the noun interno (feminine form interna), which usually refers to a patient, prisoner or someone who is confined under the first definition above of internar.
- En el programa individualizado de tratamiento se asignan a cada interno o interna dos niveles de actividades. In the individualized treatment program, each patient is assigned two levels of activities.
In parts of Latin America, interno or interna can also refer to a student intern.
El interno is also a noun meaning "interior."
- El interno de la casa está dividido en dos ambientes principales, una sala de estar y el dormitorio. The interior of the house is divided into two main living areas, a living room and the bedroom.

Editor's Note: From the FanShots. For the record, I am vehemently opposed to trading Gilbert Arenas for Jermaine O'Neal. O'Neal hasn't played more than 69 games in four years. His PER has declined for four straight seasons. He's a below-average rebounder, terribly inefficient shooter, and not much of a shot blocker anymore now that he's been hurt. However, the great thing about this site is that reasonable people can disagree, and this argument is reasonable, like all of cuppettcj's posts and comments.
If such a trade were to somehow happen, I think both players benefit. O'Neal benefits from a more structured offensive system, while Arenas would have the green light at all times in Jim O'Brien's open-court system. Whatever. I need to get off my soapbox and let cuppettcj take the floor.
Step 1: Fire the entire training staff and replace them with competent trainers who can keep the team healthy. I forget where I heard the rumor that the head athletic trainer is friends with the Pollin family, but that would explain a lot. Both success and incompetence should be rewarded appropriately. I think everybody here knows where the Wizards training staff falls.
Step 2: Fire Eddie Jordan. Replace him with either Avery Johnson (first option) or Flip Saunders (second option). I know several of you don't agree with this, but I think I made my point that each of these coaches has proven that they can improve a team beyond the point that Eddie can take us. Furthermore, each of these coaches has shown that they can get their players to commit to defense, something that Eddie Jordan has never been able to do. Defense wins championships. The last team to win a championship without finishing in the top 10 in defense was the 2000-01 Los Angeles Lakers. Strangely enough, the Lakers won both the season before and the season after, and ranked in the top 7 defensely both of those years. I guess they felt that they were so good offensively that they could take a year off defensively. Whoever coaches the Wizards won't have that luxury, at least not initially. I want a coach that stops giving away easy buckets like they're AOL discs (OK, outdated reference, but I couldn't think of a better one). We tried a different defensive coach, but that didn't do the trick, so it's time to hold the head coach accountable for the team's defensive failings. It's time to bring in some fresh blood.
Step 3: Resign Antawn Jamison to a four year deal, starting at $11.9 million and going up to $12 million for each of the next three years. Why $11.9 million in the first year? To keep us under the luxury tax threshold. Keep reading for more details.
Step 4: Sign and trade Gilbert Arenas, Etan Thomas, and the 18th draft pick to Indiana for Jermaine O'Neal and the 11th draft pick. This was a tough decision that I thought long and hard about. I'm a big Agent Zero fan. But in the end it came down to me not willing to take the big gamble on Gil's knee. Six years and $100 million is a lot to invest in a guy who hasn't shown he can be the same healthy player he was over a year ago. Plus, Caron has shown us all that he can step up his game to fill a lot of the void missing when Gil is gone. To reiterate, I don't buy into the theory that the Wizards are better without Gilbert, but I do think the drop-off from Gilbert won't be as great because of Caron. It certainly won't be a $16.4 million per season drop-off.
Of course, acquiring Jermaine O'Neal has its own injury risks, but I believe he brings more upside because he would be filling some of the Wizards' biggest needs, particularly interior defense. Not to mention that none of O'Neal's injuries were ever as serious as Gil's. Besides, even a Jermaine O'Neal at a little less than 100% would be a big improvement for us in the paint, where currently we simply get abused in the playoffs. Furthermore, I think the change in scenery and the higher quality team he would be coming to would improve his attitude and motivate him to get healthy. Of course, a lot of that relies on Step 1 (see above). Oh, and he's only going to turn 30 this October, so it's not exactly like he's over-the-hill.
I can't do the RealGM Trade Checker on this because Gilbert is still unsigned, but his salary at $16.4 million plus Etan's salary of $6,864,200 would add up to $23,264,200, which is less than %125 of Jermaine O'Neal's salary, so it should work under the Traded Player exception.
Why would Indiana want to do this trade? Well, I was surprised when a Pacers fan over at Indy Cornrows suggested it (at my prompting). I suppose that you can attribute it to the desire to dump O'Neal's salary in addition to the upside of acquiring an explosive scorer like Agent Zero. After all, the team's best scorer currently is Danny Granger. There have been rumors swirling aroung the Web lately of the Pacers dumping O'Neal for a lot less, so I would suppose this offer would be a lot more credible than those. In the words of that Pacers fan:
this trade would be nuts but if the Wizards offered either of them Bird would pull the trigger in a second, guaranteed!
So there you go, Pacers fan Brent Jonathan Beck guarantees this deal will go down, what more do you want? :)
Step 5: Use the 11th pick to get either Russell Westbrook or DJ Augustin, whoever falls to that point. I would prefer (and it is more likely) that it would be Russell Westbrook, who is a tremendous defender at the position. According to Draft Express:
Defensively, Westbrook is nothing short of outstanding, as evidenced by the phenomenal work he did locking down the three top scoring guards in the Pac-10 this season, O.J. Mayo, Jerryd Bayless, and James Harden. He is long, strong and very fundamentally sound, getting into a terrific defensive stance on every possession, moving his feet incredibly well, and being absolutely tenacious getting after his matchup. His wingspan, combined with his huge hands and outstanding anticipation skills make him a terror in the passing lanes, and this is a big factor why he spends so much time in transition offensively.
Currently, Russell Westbrook is projected to go 11th in Draft Express's mock draft. What a coincidence! :)
Step 6: Use the 47th pick on Kyle Weaver. Good call by Rook6980 on this idea. Because the Wizards would already have 12 players (including Russell Westbrook), I may have to assign him to the NBDL or place him on the inactive list.
Step 7: Let Roger Mason walk. No surprise here.
Final Salary Breakdown:
Jermaine O'Neal $21,372,000
Antawn Jamison $11,900,000
Caron Butler $ 9,249,980
Antonio Daniels $ 6,200,000
Brendan Haywood $ 5,500,000
Darius Songaila $ 4,234,000
DeShawn Stevenson $ 3,616,071
Andray Blatche $ 2,739,669
Russell Westbrook $ 1,993,560
Nick Young $ 1,602,960
Oleksiy Pecherov $ 1,446,720
Dominic McGuire $ 711,517
Kyle Weaver $ 427,000
----------------- -----------
Totals $70,993,477
Washington Wizards 2008-09 Lineup/Depth Chart:
Center: Jermaine O'Neal, Brendan Haywood
Power Forward: Antawn Jamison, Andray Blatche, Oleksiy Pecherov
Small Forward: Caron Butler, Darius Songaila, Dominic McGuire
Shooting Guard: DeShawn Stevenson, Nick Young
Point Guard: Antonio Daniels, Russell Westbrook, Kyle Weaver
Yes, I realize that Jermaine O'Neal is primarily a power forward, but it wouldn't hurt to have him start at center and then slide over to PF when Brendan enters the game. Alternatively, the Wizards can start big with a line-up like this:
Center: Brendan Haywood
Power Forward: Jermaine O'Neal
Small Forward: Antawn Jamison
Shooting Guard: Caron Butler
Point Guard: Antonio Daniels
Either way, I'm sure the new head coach can find a way to make it work.
So that's it. Queue the criticisms. :

Robert J. Gerberg Jr. is the author of the book "An easier Way to Change Jobs", and one of the most innovative persons when it comes to recruitment techniques. His book is considered as a useful resource for any person that wants to change his or hers job, and people that followed those advices managed to be hired on the jobs they have dreamed about for years.
According to Robert J. Gerberg, it is important to prepare yourself for any interview, even if you don't think you have so many chances of being hired, or if you don't really want that job. Any interview is an experience, and Robert J. Gerberg Jr. tells you what should be learned from those experiences.
As for any test, you will have to prepare your home works early. Think about what the employer wants from you and prepare some answers. The companies want optimistic people, but also motivated, so be sure your answers reflect this attitude. Robert J. Gerberg considers any interview different, but he also presents some questions and patterns that are the same in any circumstance.
Try to answer fast to any question. A candidate that hesitates will almost surely compromise his chances. Robert J. Gerberg Jr. presents some scenarios about possible questions that are usually put in interviews, and by reading those advices, you will be ready for practically any challenge.
Find some time to think about some situations where you handled some delicate situations, or when you have solved difficult problems. It is almost impossible to think about those aspects from home, so it is better to consider those aspects from the start.
Robert J. Gerberg also talks about other common questions that are put during an interview. It is about the defects. Usually, the employee asks the potential candidate about his defects, and the worse answer is "I don't have any". If you want to increase your chances of being hired, be sure to think about some minor defects and to minimize their importance since the start. You might also put those defects in a good light. You might say that you are paying too much attention to details, and sometimes you lose time because of this. In the majority of cases, the employer will consider this as a quality. Try to state that you have learned from your mistakes and you have the resources needed to solve your problems.

Journey South launch World Cup beer
Updated 5:55pm Friday 16th May 2014 in News
BEER LAUNCH: Journey South, Andy and Carl Pemberton, launching Alternative England World Cup beer at The Golden Lion, Helperby. Picture:RICHARD DOUGHTY
A PUB has backed Chubby Brown and Journey South's World Cup football anthem by launching a real ale.
Denise Oddy, licensee of The Golden Lion, in Helperby, near Thirsk, North Yorkshire, said its Alternative England brew had been selling as fast as it could be produced as excitement builds over the song ahead of the tournament.
She said regulars were hoping Hopes Of A Thousand Men, which was adapted from a 1981 pop hit by Thirsk musician Robin Ward, would overcome competition from Gary Barlow's official World Cup song Greatest Day.
She said: "It's definitely the best-selling beer in the pub, where we like to support local talent."
Mr Ward said interest in the song had accelerated since the England squad was announced and the track had been played on numerous radio stations, including in the US.
After visiting the pub to officially launch the beer, Journey South judged a World Cup-theme school dinner menu competition at St Peter's Primary School in the village.
Singer Andy Pemberton said the Teesside duo had high hopes for their collaboration with the veteran comedian, who lives near Northallerton.
He said: "All of our sons really enjoy singing along to it and you can really imagine it being sung on the terraces."

1. Repeated Moral Hazard in Multi-stage R&D Projects
Abstract:This paper studies a continuous-time principal-agent problem in which a principal hires an agent to do a multi-stage R&D project. The agent's effort is unobservable and the transition from one stage to the next is modeled by a jump process with a constant Poisson arrival rate. We characterize the optimal dynamic contract that solves the repeated moral hazard problem. In it, the agent's payment decreases over time in case of failure and jumps up to a higher level after each success. We also provide an implementation of the optimal contract, in which a primary component of the agent's compensation is a risky security. This implementation gives a rationale for the wide-spread use of stock-based compensation by firms that rely on R&D.
2. Dynamic Contracts for a Class of Multi-agent R&D Models
Abstract: Most R&D projects are executed by employing teams of researchers and in distinct phases. These two features distinguish the agency problem that a firm faces with respect to its in-house R&D unit from traditional principal-agent problems. This paper analyzes this agency problem by studying a continuous-time multi-agent incentive problem in which a principal hires two risk-averse agents to perform a multi-stage R&D project. The completion of each stage is modeled by a Poisson type process, where the probability of success is jointly determined by the actions of both agents. We use recursive methods to characterize the optimal dynamic contract in this set-up. Our main result provides a new insight into the optimal incentive regime for multi-agent moral-hazard problems. In particular, we show explicitly the way in which the optimal incentive regime is a function of how agents' efforts interact with each other: relative-performance evaluation is used when their efforts are substitutes whereas joint-performance evaluation is used when their efforts are complements.

Needed a bipod. Okay piece of gear for the money...average value - it will do.
it needs to be built of better material.
Have bought before for another gun. works fine
Very dissappoiting, design is pathetic! Way too heavy. To put that much metal in a bipod and come up with something this clumsy is ridiculous. Should have been made with all tubular steel.Replace the solid metal inner rod with tubular and you may have something decent. Much lighter and probably less likely to break.Need more pictures and description online. Never would have bought this if I could have seen how it is constructed.
Adds stability to weapon for shooting. It's a little shakey when not in use. I won't use it when stalking game and the legs to have an affirmative lock. They lock tight when supporting the weapon but when no pressure is applied to the feet the legs can extend on their own. For the price it is excellent.

A new outlet center is headed to the metro area, and it will be open for business in just over a year.
The outlets at Bloomfield have been in the works since 2004, but in recent years the project lost steam as the economy slumped.
Now developers say they're back on track, and plan to bring the first outlet mall to the metro area.
Starting this fall, developers say they'll begin to turn the open field next to Trustmark Park and Bass Pro Shops, into a shopping mecca.
The Outlets At Bloomfield will feature over 80 designer and name brand discount stores. City leaders say it's a well needed shot in the arm for their economy.
Pearl Mayor Brad Rogers says, "We don't know the exact numbers this investment will have on our tax profile, I guess you would say, but I can tell you it will be significant. Very significant the folks it will bring here, not only will they shop, they will also stay in the area, eat in the area, will buy gas in the area."
Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th plans to occupy a 20-thousand foot anchor store in the 325-thousand square foot facility. Nike, J Crew, Under Armour just to name a few, are also committed to the project.
Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kathy Deer says, "That's going to mean jobs, that's going to mean hundreds of jobs, it's going to complete that destination for a shopping destination to come actually spend a weekend, go to a Braves game, go to Sam's, go to Bass Pro, got to the outlet mall, spend all your money."
The outlet center is being privately financed. They expecting up to three million visitors a year.
"Those are upscale stores, if you've ever been to the outlet mall in Gulfport, this will be similar but bigger and better," says Deer.
Developers say they plan to have the Bloomfield outlet completed by late next year.
They plan to announce more of the stores at the groundbreaking this fall.

Could Microsoft be buying a pup?
Phone sales at Nokia were 5 per cent down in Q4 compared to the previous quarter of 2013, placing a question mark over the wisdom of Microsoft's impending purchase of the Finnish manufacturer's handset division. Fourth quarter sales came in at £2.1 billion, sending Nokia's shares plunging more than 10 per cent in Helsinki yesterday [23rd January 2014]. Perhaps even more worrying for Microsoft, which is expected to finalise its purchase in the next month or two, was that the decline in sales was largely down to a drop in demand for Nokia's flagship Lumia smartphones.
The Lumia range is, of course, the first fruits of its relationship with the Seattle software giant and which are powered by its Windows Phone 8 OS (WP8).
Sales of Lumia handsets came in at 8.2 million compared to 8.8 million in Q3, though Nokia chairman and interim CEO Risto Siilasmaa put a brave face on the dip.
He's quoted as saying he believed the company's revenues would soon improve as the benefits of its tie-up with Microsoft became more apparent.
Nokia sold some 30 million Lumia smartphones in 2013, up from just 14 million in 2012, though these sales continue to be dwarfed by those of Apple and makers of Android phones.
*Footnote: South Korean electronics giant Samsung has warned that weak earnings momentum will continue into 2014, as it confirmed that operating profits fell for the first time in two years in the final three months of 2013. Profit growth at Samsung's mobile division, its main revenue driver, stalled as the top end of the smartphone market which it admits is becoming "increasingly saturated". Sales of mobile devices declined by 9 per cent over Q3, contributing to a drop in overall operating profit of 18 per cent to $1.2 billion.

Against Indy he was in the same mold as Durant flying from sideline to sideline making plays. He played well yesterday also......well about as well as the rest of the team played. I just wanted to show Darryl some love to go along with the love being showed to Justin. Im very excited to see these guys along with Ingram continue to get better!!!

Friends of Gary Carter remember the Hall of Fame catcher who died from brain cancer at 57
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - In Port St. Lucie, flags fly half-staff outside Digital Domain Park, the spring training home of the New York Mets. The symbolic gesture is in honor of Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter, who spent a significant portion of his career playing for the Mets. He died at just 57 from brain cancer.
Carter is revered around these parts. At the ball field, he was known for his big, constant smile and the way he cared about people.
"He lived life to the fullest on and off the field, and great family man. Great person. He'll be missed by a lot of people," said New York Mets spokesman Jay Horowitz.
One of those people is Ryan Orr, who drove straight to the ball park when he heard the news of Carter's death. He wanted to be close to the man he used to work with, back when the park was called Mets Stadium.
"Getting the chance to really know Gary Carter as more than just a baseball player is something I'll never forget," said Orr.
Carter, the Mets general manager at the time, used to ask Orr how he was doing in school. They'd talk baseball. Orr was a janitor at the time.
"He signed a ball to my dad, and he goes, 'Dear Jeff, you raised a great son, and always remember that no matter what you do, do the best you can, and God bless. Gary Carter.'"
"He signed autographs. He cared about people," said Horowitz.
Carter was Orr's role model, right up there with his dad and grandpa.
"A Hall of Fame player took the time to know me as a person and to have a true affection for me, more than just the guy that's sweeping the floors, and that's something I'm really going to miss," said Orr.
Horowitz said Thursday night the Mets were figuring out how to honor and memorialize the Hall of Famer, "The Kid," Number 8, Gary Carter.

"An emergency room on wheels will be on site at the Super Bowl, staffed with physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists to help fans with almost any injury or illness that might otherwise send them to a hospital.
Hackensack University Medical Center will have its Mobile Satellite Emergency Department, equipped with seven critical care beds, monitors, oxygen, laboratory, X-ray units, and a cache of medicines at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford starting Sunday through next Sunday's game. The portable ER is housed in a 43-foot semi truck.
"We can handle sprains, set bones, drain an abscess, treat cold-triggered asthma, pretty much anything that we can do in a hospital emergency room," said Dr. Joseph Feldman, chairman of emergency services at Hackensack.
"If you pay $5,000 for a ticket and fall and sprain something, you really don't want to leave the game to go to a hospital," he said. "With us here, you won't have to — we can fix you up and you can return to the game."
Lots more details here, for the rest of the story.

Anti war chant!

I heard Cindy Sheehan was seen partying at aura nightclub the other night. It doesn't matter that it was just the 5th anniversary of her son's death...
Are they supposed to protest Obama's plan to pull out troops by august 2010..."no we want them out tomorrow"
Clearly Obama is directly at fault for the unrest and insurgents in Iraq killing people. This has nothing to do with a war that was waged for.... wait....why did we go into iraq???

British TV host Leon Logothetis trekked cross country in a taxi cab for his program "Amazing Adventures of a Nobody."
Armed with only $5, Logothetis made it from New York to Los Angeles relying on the kindness of strangers.
The TV host is in the midst of his second such trek, using that same spirit of kindness to help school students across the country.
Logothetis is making stops at cities along his journey to give free cab rides. With the fare he could have collected from those rides, he will donate the same amount to ClassWish.
The organization buys books for local schools.
He was in Las Vegas Friday to continue his free rides mission.
He is expected to arrive in Los Angeles the week of Nov. 14 for World Kindness Week.

I just returned from a vigil at Back to the Grind in Riverside that honored Mitch Lucker, Suicide Silence's dynamic lead singer who died Thursday morning after sustaining injuries in a motorcycle crash in Huntington Beach Wednesday night.
Lucker grew up in Riverside, on the Western side near Corona. About two dozen friends and a few fans paid their respects Thursday night.
Lucker's longtime friend Jacob Cato has a monthly exhibition, the Tattoo Artist Perception Slideshow Exhibit, at the Riverside coffeehouse for Arts Walk.
One of the artists featured this time was going to show off his tattoo ink, and the tattooed Lucker was going to be the live model.
Cato and a number of the friends who stopped by had been friends with Lucker for years, all playing shows, working at and hanging out at the old Showcase Theatre in Corona.
"The Showcase was the catalyst," Cato said.
He showed me photos of show fliers where Suicide Silence played with bands such as Drexl, years before Suicide Silence would go on to play to tens of thousands of fans on tours like the Mayhem Festival.
One of Lucker's favorite places to go when he wasn't touring was John Montgomery's Grand Tattoo Lodge in Redlands. He and his friends would ride their fixed gear bikes to Redlands.
Sean Foster, of Riverside, started hanging out with Lucker when they were in junior high and would go skateboarding together.
"He's Riverside through and through," Foster said. "He just wanted to play metal music."
He described Lucker as a good guy and a family man.
Photos of Lucker with his daughter, Kenadee, and his dogs showed the softer side of the singer in a guest book assembled by Cato's mother Cathy, who all the friends called "Mom."
The book included photos of Lucker on stage in front of thousands and at home with his daughter.
"He loved his baby girl," she said.
It was a really somber memorial. One of the things that struck me was the banner that had a message written by Jacob Cato. This part was particularly touching and really hit the nail on the head describing the down-to-earth guy Lucker was.
You made your mark. You touched peoples lives across the world. You built a career from garage band dreams. And in the process you kept the same friends and added some along the way.

Now some surgery patients will be treated with the most high-tech surgical system, the da Vinci Si.
Surgeons demonstrated how precise the robotic "hands" move during surgery.
They can see images in 3D and the camera magnifies images by 10-times.
Doctors say this system makes patients more comfortable.
"Because the movements with the robotic arms are so precise that they don't feel the torquing as much when we are doing laparoscopic surgery. Those are the things that we are seeing. Possibly decreased patient stays and patient comfort and satisfaction," Dr. Rebecca Rose, a general surgeon said.
Surgeons will start to use the da Vinci Si starting Monday with patients.

The difference in this scale to other products is that instead of being spring-plated, this system measures it's weight-index with laser-positioning relative to the plate's movement. Laser-accuracy is considered possibly the most effective and accurate means of reading a product's weight-index, so tihs scale is ideal for those people who would need complete precision without fail(scale can become uneven- calibration techniques to restore accurate functionality are apllicable, if needed).

What would the NBA be without an incident involving Kevin Garnett and a player less heralded than Kevin Garnett? It took just one game for something like that to happen to Garnett during the 2011-12 season. In the immediate seconds following the Boston Celtics' 106-104 loss to the New York Knicks on Christmas Day, Garnett and Bill Walker were tangled up, and Garnett shoved him away.
Walker is a former Celtics player who reportedly wasn't amused by the way Garnett treated rookies. He was also the man guarding Garnett on the final play, and he helped cause the miss. Chances are, he's still not especially fond of Garnett after that exchange. Visual evidence proves that.

Confessions of a Former Contemporary Music Minister
Until recently, I had no idea I was a former postmodernist. I didn't even know there was a category of Catholics like that, nor did I realize that I had fit into that category. In fact, from a liturgically-conservative point of view, I was the worst kind:
I was a contemporary cantor (insert Bates Motel music here).
You got it: I not only sang but oftentimes led the concert-like singing of contemporary liturgical music in my parish church.
Before I even venture further into this post, may I say I am nervous! There is a lot of potential division in our Church today, and predominantly over liturgical norms in Divine Worship. No one ever said that re-uniting is an easy act. It's messy business! Consequently, expressing thoughts on this matter can be messy, too. A recent "Catholic Answers Live" interview with Francis Cardinal Arinze, Prefect Emeritus of the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, is the source of my inspiration to tackle this topic now.
All the chatter about how we worship, about who's doing it well or badly, or which church is celebrating the more reverent mass gives us an amazing opportunity to speak with caritas in veritate. As in everything we do and say, to proclaim the truth with utmost charity and humility must be our goal. However, a love for righteousness and for God Himself can blind us, inciting us to loudly argue and try to aggressively right what is wrong in our churches. It has the potential to be harmful to those on a slightly different path.
Take me, for example. In 1995, I joined a high profile Catholic parish music ministry and sang my heart out on the altar. It was seven years after I had been singing for a living in bars, and I was in the middle of a reversion. God had now called me to sing for Him! At this parish, the musicians were a vibrant and very visible part of the worship, positioned to the (stage) left of the altar. Ours was not a small ensemble, either.
Over the next ten years, I sang solos, led the contemporary-style re-written responsorial psalms, and sang entire post-Communion meditative songs. I was suddenly experiencing a different kind of stage fright. Previously, I had been entertaining people who came to dance and drink. Now, I was singing before the congregation to lead them in worship and bring them to the Lord in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Before you start to cringe more than I am doing as I type this, hear me out. Yes, this is what we did. It was our express intent to lead people to experience the emotional high of the mass, and to fully express ourselves, in full-body prayer and open-hand praise, and to "Shout to the Lord" in gratitude and worship. My experience and assistance on the altar was hopefully reaching out to the congregation and pulling them into the mass. Thankfully, these were powerful years for me. It was not an act. I would even like to say it was not a performance, but sometimes… I can now share details of how I was personally brought to the point of humility many times, as I prayed to sing well for the Lord. Yet, regularly my voice would crack or I would sing off key, and then I would realize that I wasn't worried that Sunday about glorifying God in my ministry, but rather about impressing the many congregational friends I had made. Ouch, not good. But God was winking, and the stage fright humbled me with the occasional poor "performance." Other good things were happening in me and in the souls of many fellow musicians. Male and female divas were being touched by the mass itself and were dropping to their knees, literally. I remember when I didn't want to follow the suggestion not to kneel during consecration, on the grounds that it was distracting to the congregation--I knelt anyway. I could not resist. I was focusing more and more upon the Eucharist. Of course, I was not reprimanded. Though some new liturgical directives and re-enforcements had begun, things were still pretty loose, and much was being tolerated--even kneeling!
One day, a pastoral change took place and all the music changed as well. Some of us gathered, realizing we would be singing a mass with a less contemporary feel. I remember thinking we needed to accept what was not comfortable for us, out of obedience. I was beginning to get it. Many musicians left. I stayed at first, although eventually I too left, my fifth baby now making clear the needs of worshipping in the pews with my family.
Those years were invaluable to my spiritual growth. Mass was now growing more "traditional" by the year, and as a result of my openness, I was growing with it. Yet, within the past five years, I have still often found myself defending this "loose" liturgical era from which I had come. How could I shun that which had re-awakened my love for the Eucharist? Now understanding that emotion was not the premier path to God and was indeed shallow on its own, I realized that my mind had also been seeking and growing in knowledge. Was I headed for some sort of balance? Only God could know.
As we all long for unity, it is not uncommon to look upon Catholic liturgical differences maybe even with disgust. Liturgies that add or subtract from the General Instruction of the Roman Missal appear self-projecting, and potentially disobedient to the Magisterium. Yet, presuming the mass is still valid, and the ones I have referred to were, God is still there, working and transforming those who ask for His graces.
Holy Mother Church is definitely wise in both her proclamations and in her informal explanations. While Cardinal Arinze's comments last week on "Catholic Answers Live" were not given in an official capacity, he did graciously explain how unity can exist. The following question, though not directed at the current state of the Novus Ordo mass, but rather the tension between the Traditional Latin Rite and the Novus Ordo in general, stems partly from the abuse of the additions and subtractions of the past 30 years.
Program host Patrick Coffin posed:
There is a sad irony here, Your Eminence, in which people who are attached to the Traditional Latin Mass often get into fractious arguments with people who prefer the Novus Ordo, so it's almost like the mass itself, in a sense, is a source of division. Is there a way for it to bring all the members of the Body of Christ together, and does the Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum signal a kind of turn toward the future of greater reverence and greater unity?
Cardinal Arinze answered:
Yes, the Pope's document is a great help to get all of us better together. We should accept and recognize that when we say "Latin Mass" it can be the traditional way of saying (it) up to Vatican II. It can also be the way of celebrating the mass now in the last 40 years. The way we say mass now can all be done in Latin today so that if perhaps some use the term Tridentine Mass, even though the term is not so exact, because that mass had that form even before the Council of Trent. So Pope Benedict has given it the two terms, the Extraordinary and Ordinary form of the Latin Rite. Both are of the Latin Rite. And the Holy Father, by giving out that document (i.e. Summorum Pontificum), wants to give people freedom. If people find their spirituality better nourished by the traditional celebration of the form that is what we call now Extraordinary, very good, let them not be denied that. If people find themselves nourished by the present way of celebrating mass, what some call Novus Ordo, which the Holy Father calls Ordinary Form, so be it. The main thing is to follow what Holy Mother Church has laid down. Indeed, if every priest who celebrated the mass according to Novus Ordo were to follow the books exactly, add nothing, subtract nothing, not project yourself, celebrate in Latin sometimes, you will find that most of that tension would be gone.
His mere graciousness is an inspiration to me to re-examine how I react to the differences in masses. I can no longer defend the violation of liturgical rubrics or any license that may have taken place in the '90s, or may still be going on today. But I can rest in knowing that differences are all right for now, and that Holy Mother Church is already on the path to unity in worship. We must have patience and work to see the good in the various slight differences of worship. Reverence isn't always missing, it may just be hidden. An absence of reverence is often just a lack of proper formation. Many differences are merely a matter of culture. But as long as the core of the mass is still the same, Holy Mother Church is patiently working to rectify the mistakes of the past and present, and unify us all in Divine Worship.

Simon's Rock Writing and Thinking Workshop
Way off in a corner of the Berkshires, near a little town called Great Barrington, on a grassy green hill sits Simon's Rock of Bard College. This summer, the school sponsored two programs - the Foreign Language Instruction and the Writing and Thinking Workshop. I attended the latter, and I had a wonderful time.
Every weekday for about four hours I met with a group of students (who quickly became friends) to talk about writing. We met in a classroom, and then went outside to sit on the lawn where our instructor, Alan, told us that we were leaving behind the rules and judgments of the rest of the world in order to make our writing better.
And we did. We wrote every day, and shared our writing with people who were never critical unless we asked them to be. We read poetry and Plato, and then wrote in response to it. We walked in the woods and the fields around the school for inspiration. For the first time I spent three weeks in the company of people who shared my love of writing.
But there was more than writing at the school. Besides a day trip to Boston and watching Peter, Paul, and Mary perform at Tanglewood on the Fourth of July, there were the everyday opportunities to take the bus into Great Barrington for shopping or a movie, or up to the lake for some swimming. They showed movies in the lecture hall every night, everything from "Monty Python" to "Pump Up the Volume."
I arrived at Simon's Rock expecting to find a lot of people from New England, but I met people from all over the country - from California and Texas to Florida, Alabama and West Virginia. There was also a group of students from the Ivory Coast in Africa who were studying English.
Leaving all of my new friends in July was very difficult, but we rounded out the stay with a Karaoke party in the student union and an all-night, junk food festival in the dorm lounge. It was three of the best weeks of my life, and I came home with a notebook full of new writing and an address book full of new pen pals. The experience was well worth the time and money, and I recommend it to any high school writer who wants to polish his or her skills and have a great time in the bargain.

Wow! 5 helmets! I am impressed. Keep up the good work.ReplyDelete
Hey I'm trying to make 4 legionary helmets and also a centurion helmet for a play. The design is really awesome! It's very accurate to what the real thing is. But the directions/instructions are a little confusing. Think you can email me an easier way to make em?ReplyDelete
Can you also tell me what else I need to have other than the papers?
I'm sorry, but I don't have any easier instructions available to send you. You will have to contact the creator of the helmets at the website where they are located. Other good supplies to have when papercrafting are an exacto knife to cut parts out and a quick drying "tacky" type glue. Good luck!ReplyDelete

There are many reasons for an upset stomach. Some of these include flu, food poisoning, motion sickness and heartburn. They all can cause nausea and their remedies vary according to what is the cause of the stomach to get upset. You will need Ginger Ale, Chamomile tea, Cola and Antiacids.
If something such as motion sickness or a certain smell is the reason of your upset stomach, then remove yourself from the cause. In most cases the stomach will settle on its own. If you have a flu over have overeaten then ginger ale or chamomile tea is the best remedy also try drinking some cola, it is very popular to relieve upset stomachs.
If heartburn is causing your stomach to become upset then an antiacid is the best. Although do not overuse them as they may cause diarrhea and constipation. Avoid alcohol, aspirin, cigarettes and ibuprofen as they aggravate an already upset stomach.

Sencha green tea has a solid body, refreshing aroma and grassy sweet taste often compared to green vegetables and fresh seaweed. Sencha is an excellent tea on its own but many enjoy it with the addition of milk.
Sencha green tea is best brewed at 75°C (167°F) for approximately 2-3 minutes and can be used for multiple infusions.
Sencha is the most popular green tea in Japan. It has beautiful, needle-shaped green leaves, a solid body and a refreshing aroma. Sencha is the darkest green of all green teas and is often thought to have some of the most potent of green tea qualities. The flavour is a grassy sweet taste that is often compared to green vegetables and fresh seaweed making it a common favourite among health tea drinkers. Sencha gree tea is an excellent tea for multiple infusions.
Sencha is steamed and rolled to produce the familiar needle-like shape then heat dried. This process was developed centuries ago by a tea merchant and later introduced to Japan by Buddhist monks. It quickly gained popularity and remains a favorite to this day.
Sencha green tea is well known for it's possible health benefits. Sencha's anti-oxidant levels are said to be many times higher than those of vitamin C and vitamin E. Other possible benefits of Sencha green tea range from being an effective immune booster to preventing cardiovascular disease and stabilize blood sugar levels in diabetics. In addition, Sencha green tea is commonly used to treat skin problems such as acne and to decrease stress and anxiety levels.
