Honestly bro even with Davin we would't have run the ball well yesterday.ÃÂ I'm not say Zuttah is better than Davin, but he's holding his own and gaining valuable experience that will pay off for us down the road.ÃÂ Z is doing a fine job...
Chev...spot on!!! Z is doing what he needs to do. I hope DJ gets back soon, but Z has done well in his absence. 67 pass attempts with ZERO sacks does deserve props...just Rothlesberger (sp?) he got sacked EIGHT times yesterday.
Didn't really run it enough to know if they could run it. The one running play that I remember the most they didn't block the DE at the point of attack. I think the play was designed to fool him instead of block him. I'm leaning towards blocking him being the better option. It's not like passing worked on every play either, but they stuck with it. I wonder what the run/pass ratio is in this famous Gruden play book. Seems like all his energies go into making new passing plays and not designing plays to open up the run. Doesn't really matter if that's how I'd like to see the offense play or not, it's a win and I'm taking wins every way they come. Go Bucs!
arent screens and draws effective against a team bringing heavy pressure?
I really don't think we miss Davin (huge DJ fan here) as much as people want to make it out to be. ÃÂ Z hasn't been stellar, but he's held his own and I think actually gotten better. ÃÂ Say what you will about big Z but he was a part of an oline that helped prtect and keep Brian clean 67 times...Give the rook some props...
I am holding off until game four to post the data that I have gathered when it comes to run/pass ratio in Gruden's career.

Productivity in an age of constant connectivity
I affixed a quote from a GQ interview with Philip Roth into my writing notebook before leaving for Costa Rica; it seems especially relevant now that I'm trying to shut out New York City for considerable chunks of every day.
"I'm not writing when I'm walking around. I can only really write when I'm alone in a place that's mine, that I'm accustomed to, and there's no interruption. I don't have a phone. I don't have anything that can distract me. And I spend the hours ruminating. If you spend six or seven hours ruminating on your invention, the next part of it will come to you."
For younger creatives, I suspect the most common distraction is not the telephone but rather the internet; having the world's information at your fingertips can be quite the omnipresent temptress. For anyone who writes (or otherwise works) on a Mac, I recently discovered an app (aptly) named Freedom; I can't recommend it enough. It shuts off all network connectivity for a specified amount of time, and what seems like a simple hack (turning off wireless would have the same effect, really) turns out to be a godsend — because you specify the amount of time you want "Freedom," the app allows you to keep track of how long you've been working, rather than just having some ephemeral sense at the end of the day of having tried to work a lot. And no, you can't change your mind; if you want to get back on the 'net before your time's up, you have to restart your computer, which is just enough of a road block to prevent you from procrastinating.
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Turning off cell phones could help, too. So many people are certain something special will pass them by or someone will have an emergency that they could've helped with *if only* I had kept my cell phone on.
More likely people will just call to talk about nothing.
Turn off the internet and the phone and don't answer the door either while you're at. At least do this for two hours chunks throughout the day and I bet anyone would see a productivity improvement, not just young'ns.
just came back to this post to download Freedom so that i can stop pretending that
turning my wireless off really affects me, as it's just a click away….

2) Carry a map with me at all times, even if it makes me look like a stupid tourist

Although the weather may have prevented me from seeing as much as I could, along with the hard-to-follow public transportation, I know I will definitely be visiting the city again.

Battleship Texas Dry Berth Project: Preserving an Invaluable Place in History
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is currently moving forward with critical vessel repairs to the Battleship Texas (BB-35). While now committed to making those critical repairs, TPWD maintains the long-term goal of the construction of a dry berth at the Battleship Texas State Historic Site in La Porte, Texas.
In June 2012, the Battleship Texas began taking on water at rates as high as 2,000 gallons per minute due to leaks in her fragile hull. TPWD, together with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the Texas Historical Commission, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, and the other stakeholders for the dry berth project, determined the most critical repairs necessary for the ship and conducted those repairs. To finance this urgent undertaking, TPWD utilized funds originally allocated for the Battleship Texas Dry Berth Project.
TPWD has been careful to comply with federal regulations set forth by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The recent flooding incidents served as a strong reminder that the Battleship Texas is in need of extensive structural repairs, whether or not she is placed into a dry berth.
Project Background
In 1948, Battleship Texas became the nation's first permanent battleship memorial museum, and she was secured in a slip off the Houston Ship Channel adjacent to the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. A veteran of both world wars, she is one-of-a-kind as the only remaining dreadnought. Over the last sixty years, Battleship Texas has been subject to continuous environmental and physical threats while resting in the shallow, brackish waters of the ship channel. To protect and preserve this unique National Historic Landmark, a new dry berth is envisioned to provide her with a permanent home.
In 2008, the Texas Legislature appropriated $25 million for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to dry berth the Battleship Texas. In 2009, the Legislative Budget Board approved funding for the dry berth project, provided that the ship was dry berthed in her current location adjacent to the San Jacinto Battleground. The Battleship Texas Foundation (BTF) pledged an additional $4 million toward the dry berth project.
With this funding, TPWD was tasked with accomplishing three things:
- Make only those repairs necessary to get the ship into a dry berth.
- Design and construct a dry berth.
- Place the ship into the dry berth and make her presentable to the public.
Dry Berth Still the Plan; Repairs Necessary First
In 2010, TPWD hired AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) to survey the condition of the battleship, provide preliminary design concepts for a dry berth, and conduct the studies necessary to comply with federal environmental and historic preservation regulations.
While conducting the conceptual design, TPWD carried out the studies and processes necessary to meet the requirements of NEPA, as well as Section 106 of NHPA. As part of these two processes, TPWD conducted proactive stakeholder outreach, including a stakeholder workshop, regular consultation meetings (as required by Section 106), and a large-scale public open house. TPWD also put out a formal call for alternatives from the public, but no viable or reasonable design alternatives were received.
In 2011, the project team finalized a Conceptual Design Report that outlines two significant findings:
- Key components of the vessel are in much worse condition than anticipated.
- The cost for each of the dry berth concepts greatly exceed the available budget for the project.
TPWD determined that the available budget for the dry berth project would be insufficient to fund even the vessel repairs, let alone vessel repairs and construction of the dry berth. Therefore, TPWD is in need of additional funding sources to protect and preserve the battleship.
What do the necessary ship repairs entail?
Ship repairs will work toward stabilizing the Battleship Texas in accordance with the U.S. Department of Interior's "Standards for Historic Vessel Preservation," which define stabilization as:
"the act or process of applying measures designed to arrest, retard, or prevent deterioration of a vessel, and to assure its structural integrity. This may include the rendering of the vessel weather resistant and watertight. The essential form of the vessel shall be maintained during this process."
Critical components of the internal structure of the ship have severely deteriorated since her days of active service. For example, the ship's two 1,100-ton engines (together weighing over 4.4 million pounds) are resting on frames that are approximately 80 to 90 percent disintegrated. The frames supporting the boilers, the steering gear, and the aft emergency diesel generator are also targeted for prioritized replacement due to their similarly severe condition.
The degraded steel frames under the heavy machinery will be cut out completely and replaced to original specification where possible, and will be augmented with "doubler" frames otherwise. These "doublers" will be cut to the original specification and attached to the existing deteriorated frames and adjacent steel. While the majority of the work will not involve the replacement of the outer hull plating, the ship's resistance to flooding will be greatly improved by the proposed internal repairs. This is because the replaced frames will create a system of isolated watertight spaces within the hull of the ship. If one space floods due to a hull leak, the water will be confined and unable to flow into adjacent areas. The movement of water within the ship through the existing degraded framework was a major problem during the flooding events of summer 2012, adding significant cost and time to addressing the events.
As available funding permits, the ship will be made as watertight and weather-resistant as appropriate and approved. While a list of prioritized repairs has been developed by the project team, the estimated costs for those repairs are greater than the funding currently available. Repairs will be made in order of priority, until the funding is exhausted. The remainder of the repairs can be addressed if and when additional funding is provided.
As the battleship cannot be moved for the repairs, all repairs must be executed with the ship in her current location. The ship is a historic artifact and a U.S. National Historic Landmark. Great care must be taken to ensure that the cultural significance of the ship is not compromised.
How do the vessel repairs affect the battleship and the outcome of the dry berth project?
- First, when the repair project is complete, there will be very little, if any, changes to the ship that will be visibly identifiable. The repairs to be done are in the interior of the ship where the general public does not have access.
- Second, repairs to the ship will not preclude a dry berth. All of the repairs are necessary regardless of whether the ship stays in her current wet berth or is eventually moved to a dry berth.
- Finally, there will still be repairs necessary to the ship when the immediate repair project is completed (i.e. when the available funding is exhausted). Even so, TPWD will be significantly closer to completing the charge of making the necessary repairs required to get the ship into a protected dry berth.
August 8, 2014: As reported on this page in June of this year, TPWD has added work to the current Taylor Marine Construction (TMC) structural repair contract to address repairs in the Chief Petty Officer (CPO) area and at Frames 104, 110 and 115 aft of the engine rooms and forward of trimming tank D-12. To date, the repairs in the CPO area are about 70% complete and the work on the framing aft of the engine rooms is about 30% complete on both the port and starboard sides. TMC is ahead of schedule and the work is going smoothly.
Please be sure to download the latest report (Report 003) on the progress of the work from the "Reports and Correspondence" page of this site. The bi-annual reports are requirements of the Programmatic Agreement (PA) executed between TPWD, NAVSEA the Texas Historical Commission and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. We've included a lot of photos in the latest report, so it is a bit large…but worth the download! We appreciate your continued interest!

Whisper Number: How Will Procter & Gamble Investors React to Earnings?
Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) is expected to report earnings on Friday, January 24. The whisper number is $1.21, one cent ahead of the analysts' estimate. Whispers range from a low of $1.19 to a high of $1.23. Procter & Gamble has a 61 percent positive surprise history, having topped the whisper in 28 of the 46 earnings reports for which we have data.
Earnings history:
- Beat whisper: 28 qtrs
- Met whisper: 2 qtrs
- Missed whisper: 16 qtrs
Our primary focus is on post earnings price movement. Knowing how likely a stock's price will move following an earnings report can help you determine the best action to take (long or short). In other words, we look at what happens when the company beats or misses the whisper number expectation.
The table below indicates the average post earnings price movement within a one and thirty trading day timeframe.
The strongest price movement of +1.3 percent comes within twenty trading days when the company reports earnings that beat the whisper number, and -1.6 percent within thirty trading days when the company reports earnings that miss the whisper number. The overall average price move is 'as expected' (beat the whisper number and see strength, miss and see weakness) when the company reports earnings.

You might think that Japanese people often make nigiri (finger) or maki (rolled) sushi at home, but these types of sushi are more often eaten at restaurants or as takeout. The sushi commonly made in the home is chirashi sushi, or scattered sushi. It's very simple and needs no complicated knife or shaping skills. You simply choose your toppings and lay them over a bed of rice mixed with sushisu vinegar. This vinegar is the key ingredient, as it's what transforms normal steamed rice into distinctive sushi rice. It's simple, sensational, and makes all the difference.
Donburi is a quintessential Japanese dish that's a big household favourite. To make a donburi, take a big bowl of rice – the don – and top with whatever you're hungry for: juicy pork cutlet for katsu-don, sliced cooked beef for gyu-don, or heaps of just-fried tempura for ten-don. Here, we've combined the distinct flavour of sushi rice with avocado and fresh tuna for a simple but special don. The combination of raw tuna with creamy avocado is sensational, while the piquant wasabi sauce simultaneously complements the creaminess of the sauce while cutting through the avocado. This is really worth a try.
Tofu is a staple of Japanese cuisine, eaten by millions every day. It's a powerhouse of protein and essential nutrients, all in one simple ingredient. This stir-fry is an easy way to cook tofu at home, and a great way to get started if you've never tried making tofu dishes before. Once you've got the hang of it, you'll discover that tofu is one of the most versatile ingredients around. Whatever you're making, there will be a tofu type to fit. But whatever the firmness, one thing won't change: the great nutritional benefits of tofu.
When making nigirizushi, it is imperative to have all the necessary ingredients to hand before you begin. If you are right handed, the sushi rice should be in a bowl on your right. Besides the toppings, you should also have wasabi to hand, and a bowl of tezu, or vinegared water for dipping hands.
Tezu is essential, because without it, the rice will stick to your hands. Ordinary water will not do either, because this will wash the sushi vinegar off the rice, and affect taste and consistency.

Manu Ginobili suffered an elbow injury in the San Antonio Spurs' Wednesday night loss to the Phoenix Suns, and an MRI Thursday led to the team listing the the All-Star guard as doubtful for Game 1 against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. The Spurs were only playing for the best record overall on Wednesday, and San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich is typically cautious about resting his players.
But Ginobili hyperextended his elbow and immediately left the game. The Spurs went on lose, giving the Chicago Bulls the NBA's top record and home court advantage in a potential NBA Finals matchup between the teams. In retrospect, it seems like a poor risk, but a similar injury could happen in practice.
Without Ginobili, Popovich could turn to either backup point guard George Hill or rookie Gary Neal in the starting lineup. Memphis starts Tony Allen, who isn't a huge scoring threat but a strong defender.
Plug into our Spurs vs. Grizzlies preview.

I needed a lil something to divert my somewhat short attention span away from today's scheduled second MRI of Elias Harris' achilles, so here we go...
Tonight at 7:30 p.m. PST St. Mary's goes on the road to face San Diego State. I have conflicted feelings about this game and who I want to win. Or, even if I should give a rat.
St. Mary's is our hated W.C.C. rival. They pad their pre conf sched w/ cupcakes, and more cupcakes, so they look pretty good sporting a 6-1 record {they lost to BYU by 1 point}. Omar SamHam is no longer there to dislike but... Matt Dellavedova and his mouthpiece looks pretty slimey.
San Diego State beat us by 3 at our place, so do I want them to lose so they can taste defeat too? They are a very good team and undefeated so far at 6-0. I almost would like them to go undefeated so our loss to them it easier to take {barely}.
But...Will our RPI be better if they win or lose? What about St. Mary's? Maybe they need a few losses so they don't actually start believing they are as good as their inflated record would indicate. Taking a peek at their upcoming sched you could see where they may not lose any games until they meet us.
Ok, my mind is made up. I want St. Mary's to get spanked! I want them to lose because of Omar Samhan, even though he is no longer there. I want them to lose because they beat us in the WCC Tourney last year. Omar said he got the last laugh. What he fails to realize is that it is still not over. Besides, that mouthpeice Matt Dellavedova wears has got to go!
So lets have it. Who should lose? Should we even care?

NAVASSA, NC (WECT) - The Sheriff of Brunswick County says his department has been receiving a number of calls about crimes in the Town of Navassa. He says they've received calls about everything from drug deals, to gang activity to rape.
"We received multiple calls and when officers arrived on scene numerous people have been aggressive towards law enforcement which has prompted our agency to have backup when we respond," said Sheriff John Ingram. He says it's a couple of criminals causing problems for the whole town.
"A few individuals are making it unbearable for the people that live in that community and we are not going to put up with it any more," explained Sheriff Ingram. The Department has served as the primary responders for Navassa for about a year, ever since the Town of Navassa shut down their Police Department.
The Sheriff says because of the numerous calls, and increase of drug activity and violent crime in the area he decided to start Operation Restore Order, leading to the arrest of seven last weekend.
"Thugs that do not care about peoples quality of life making the decision to be involved in illegal activity including drug dealing and carrying firearms and terrorizing the community," said the Sheriff.
The Mayor of Navassa, Eulis Willis, says he was surprised when he heard about the large number of crimes.
"I was somewhat surprised, I knew there was some activity but I didn't think it was a major proportion," said Willis. He says he knew crime picked up a little when the police department first shut down, but was unaware it was increasing to such a large scale.
He says he is glad that the Sheriff's Office is lending a helping hand, and adds that the town is in the process of getting their police department up and running again.
He says they hired a police chief about two months ago and they are hoping to add more officers by the end of the summer.

They can throw all the fancy stuff on it that they want, the ONE thing I'm personally looking for is another PURE TEAM DEATH MATCH playlist like the first Black Ops. I'm sure core mode is great for most people, but me personally, I will only play in the Barebones playlist. Modern Warfare 3 Barebones didn't do it for me at all because they mixed other game modes in with TDM that I didn't want to play, yet had no say on and THERE WERE STILL ATTACHMENTS. That is NOT barebones, all they did was take out kill-streak rewards and that's why MW3 ended up getting traded in during the first week and if BO2 makes the same mistake.. Well, I'm hoping they don't so that I'll want to keep it! NEWER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER!

And theres not one in nuketown and how do we open bunker how do we get going. Im so lost and everybody posts theories and nothing is solved. and we have transit, and nuketown and die rise and nuketown has nothing to do with it but die rise does. So how come die rise navcard don't work in transit? So we wait for this next dlc to come out hoping it would continue with richtofen maxis marlotn etc but no, ithas new characters nothing to do with anavcard table and to build a plane to just to go to a pack a punch. idk but im losing interest its more irritating than fun anymore.

Chancellor unveils £9bn boost for London transport
– Chancellor George Osborne
We're committing to the largest investment in our railways since the Victorian age, and with the legislation before this House today, we should give the green light to HS2 – a huge boost to the north of England and a transformation of the economic geography of this country.
Here in London we're digging Crossrail, the largest urban infrastructure project in Europe. But we will do more – looking at the case for Crossrail 2 linking London from North to South.
And we're going to give the Mayor almost £9 billion of capital spending and additional financing power to the end of this decade.

4Is Zac Efron Hooking Up With Ashley Tisdale?
LOL Nah, dude - Zac Efron only goes for hot, head-giving Victoria's Secret-esque chicks now that he's through with Vanessa Hudgens' beat-ass vadge.
Zac Efron was photographed with his less famous former co-star Ashley Tisdale during girlfriend's 26th party this past weekend, and aside from the photo as evidence, we have Ashley's too-excited Tweet for backup:
"So happy zacary made it to my party! He's my brother/best friend!"
Any by "brother/best friend," I'm assuming she means that her agent paid him at least a day-and-a-half's salary for him to make an appearance at her birthday bash, you know?
Happy belated, Ashley! Hope all your dreams come true, girl!

Zacs gay! lol – love the work the publicity machines do – time will tell!!
I don't understand why Zac wouldn't date Ashley when he dated Vanessa. I mean honestly, Ashley is cute and not a slut. If he actually thinks that Ashley would be a downgrade then he has NO standards. I think they would be cute together but that's just me.

Today's weather forecast: August Gloom
Stoners Bruins will soon be able to satisfy their Neapolitan pizza munchies without having to behave in a public dining room. 800 Degrees, the build-your-own pizza enterprise of Umami's Adam Fleischman, is finally opening a take-out shop.
Due to open this spring, the to-go space, which will be located next door to the Westwood restaurant, with a separate entrance and no seating, which will hopefully alleviate the lengthy lines we've all gotten used to. The restaurant also scored a coveted off-site alcohol sales license, which means you can grab some wine and beer to wash down those cheesy pies at home. The shop will also sell 800 Degree-branded goodies, such as fancy olive oil and Calabrian chiles.
We're curious to see if the fresh-out-of-the-brick-oven pizzas can retain their fragile crispy-to-chewy ratio after sitting in our car for 20 minutes. But the thought of nibbling a tartufo pizza on our couch during a House of Cards marathon is too tempting not to risk a soggy slice. Buon appetito!

Ministers reject Regev proposal to annex West Bank settlements
By LAHAV HARKOV
C'tee approves bill to add teaching "Israel as the state of the Jewish nation" to school curriculum.
Ministers voted down a bill to annex Israeli settlements in the West Bank on Sunday.
Only Construction and Housing Minister Uri Ariel and Senior Citizens Minister Uri Orbach, both of Bayit Yehudi, voted in favor of the legislation proposed by Knesset Interior Committee chairwoman Miri Regev (Likud Beytenu) in the Ministerial Committee for Legislation meeting.
Regev's draft bill would have applied Israeli law to Israeli settlements in the West Bank as well as the roads leading to them, which would effectively mean they were being annexed.
"It's too bad that only Bayit Yehudi ministers supported a bill that is part of the Likud's constitution," Regev said following the vote. "It's also unfortunate that Likud ministers are letting other parties make decisions for us."
Regev added that she is disappointed and plans to continue to fight "for unity of the land and the nation."
The Likud Beytenu MK submitted a plethora of controversial legislation in recent months, attempting pass a bill to annex the Jordan Valley and another to block the government from negotiating the status of east Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees. The first was approved by the ministerial committee but appealed by Yesh Atid and Hatnua ministers, while the second was rejected.
Also Sunday, the Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved a bill by MK Shimon Ohayon (Likud Beytenu) to add "strengthening the value of the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish nation" to the goals of government-funded education.
"The time has come to say clearly and educate this and the coming generations that the State of Israel is the country of the Jewish people, about which we dreamed for 2,000 years. We had the privilege to see that dream come true and it belongs to the Jewish people only," Ohayon said.
He added that "all citizens get full rights, but the country is the state of the Jewish people."
Ministers in the committee expressed concern about the added weight the bill gives to Israel's Jewishness, since one of the goals already listed in the Education Law is to teach that Israel is a Jewish and democratic state.
The committee approved the legislation for a preliminary reading, but not for more than that, until Prof. Ruth Gavison finishes preparing her paper for Justice Minister Tzipi Livni on the balance between Jewish and democratic.
The Abraham Fund called for any changes to the goals of the education system to be made through discourse with different parts of society.
"The bill's proposers say that there is an attempt to harm the connection between the Jewish people and the land… but recent public opinion polls show the exact opposite. Young people's opinions of Arab citizens is deteriorating and becoming more extreme. We must strengthen education for democracy," The Abraham Fund said.

Postwar Midget Racing
Starter Bill Vanderwater throws the green flag to start a midget feature race, which was possibly run at Soldier Field in Chicago. One of the drivers in this event was the well know racer Tony Bettenhausen. July 20, 1947.
Midget car racers in winter-1947
After WWII Midget car racing was a 7-day a week sport. In this photo Tony Bonadies has a Ford woody with a double deck trailer ready to tow to an indoor race at an Armory in the Bronx, NY. The car on top of the trailer is the #31 Sugar Blues, a famous pre-war Midget that won many races.
Tony Bonadies was a legend in the Midget Cars with numerous wins. Unfortunately he lost his life in a racing accident at the Williams Grove Speedway in 1964.
A Midget racer-1939
An interesting photo of Eddie Wendt who was a West Coast midget car driver. His car appears to be motorcycle engine powered, possibly by a v-twin as we can see one-air cooled cylinder thru a hood opening. Midget car racing started in California in the mid 1930s and became very popular throughout the US. After WWII, midget racing developed into a 7 day a week craze in front of huge crowds. Even many Indianapolis car drivers became involved.
By 1950 the craze was over, stock car racing became more popular, and TV entertain-ment in the evenings also cut down on the crowds. Even so, midget car racing still exists today.

Sailing the Red Oceans: Real estate start-ups, weblog shut-downs and getting Google to trust your site in advance
I have news, but some of it is getting a little stale. My apologies. I have been buried, not that this is unusual.
As Kris Berg reports in her inimitable way, Redfin has relaunched, rebranded and all but reinvented itself, establishing a beachhead in Boston in the process. As far as I can tell, the big news is the company's new logo, which features an image of Eve acting on the bad advice of a snake. Every picture tells a story, don't it?
Sellsius has also launched its product offering, a kind of searchable, semi-permanent, for-pay Craigslist. This looks to me like a Red Ocean, but what do I know?
That much has been reported elsewhere. This hasn't: Territory Real Estate has launched its flat-fee buyer-brokerage in Boston and greater Massachusetts. Proving the appeal if not the merit of the Red Ocean strategy (first explained to me by Zillow.com's David Gibbons), Territory immediately goes on the attack — against Redfin.
But: Screw all that. There are matters of greater moment.
For instance, is weblogging headed for an icy, entropic death? TransparentRE says not, at least not for real estate weblogs. This much is obvious: Weblogging is a fad, like CB radio in the seventies. Anyone who didn't expect it to fall off dramatically was self-deluded. But there are two important differences between weblogging and the ordinary Rubik's Cube style of fad: First, viral blogging is a new communications medium, the backbone of the alternative media. And second, owners of commercially-motivated weblogs have an enduring interest in persistence beyond fad appeal. The number of weblogs doesn't really matter, nor does the number of putatively "active" weblogs. Sites that draw a decent number of evanescent eyes from search traffic may generate income for their owners. But, in the long run, the only weblogs that matter are the ones that can attract a stable population of repeat visitors.
Two more and I'm out of time: A WordPress Theme Generator, so you can express yourself with unborrowed tastes. And the irrepressible, irreplaceable Dave Smith with a strategy to suss the Google Sandbox with a Trustbox instead.
To close, here's a quote for the Red Ocean Navy:
Don't ever let anyone tell you that something is too competitive. Once you subtract the people who don't work very hard, or the people who aren't as good as you, your competition shrinks dramatically.
It goes for us, too.

Logic dictates that blogging must peak (stall's the wrong word) but I no longer trust technorati's comment on that subject. I've found their search results increasingly incomplete over the past few quarters — to the point that google's spam-ridden blog search is now my preference. Anyone else have an opinion on technorati?

While I already posted the first posters for Spike Lee's Oldboy, James Wan's Insidious: Chapter 2, Robert Schwentke's R.I.P.D., and a great display for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, I've still got a ton of pictures left to post. However, rather than offering them up one article at a time, I'm grouping them all into one huge article.
While a lot of the posters you've previously seen, there are a few new things like the first logo for Paul Greengrass' Somali pirate pic Captain Phillips starring Tom Hanks, the first poster for Where the Devil Hides, and the first display for Jimmy Hayward's Free Birds starring Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson and Amy Poehler. In addition, you can also check out posters/displays for Star Trek Into Darkness, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, Despicable Me 2, Fast and Furious 6, Man of Steel, The Lone Ranger, The Heat, Elysium, The East, The Wolverine, The Mortal Instruments, and a lot more.

Note: For a detailed look at how much money fighters make from sponsors, see our series on the economics of MMA.
Compared to traditional mainstream athletes, UFC stars are woefully underpaid. The percentage of the income Zuffa shares with its fighters is microscopic. The organization collects millions while many fighters make less than $10,000. Supporters of this system often defend the world's largest mixed martial arts promotion by claiming that fighters make up for that lost income with giant sponsor checks.
My research has indicated that just isn't true. While most managers, agents, and fighters won't talk on the record about their sponsorship income, an informal polling of fighters up and down the card indicated that sponsor pay is significantly lower than many imagine. Last night, Matt Mitrione gave fans a glimpse of just what kind of money awaits a fighter that will be featured prominently on national television. After the fight Mitrione fired his agent Malki Kawa on national television and drove the point home in a postfight interview with Ariel Helwani:
He did the worst job ever with sponsorships. For a televised fight he got me $5000. Five thousand for a televised fight. That is highly unacceptable.
That number is undeniably low. But for a fighter on a UFC undercard it isn't outlandishly so. That's the pay scale we are dealing with.That's the kind of money Mitrione is getting to put himself at further risk after already admitting a history of traumatic brain injury to Yahoo's Maggie Hendricks:
"I guarantee you I have brain damage. I don't think as clearly as I used to, and I'm not as quick-witted as I used to be. Sometimes, my words run together," he said. "My short-term memory isn't great. I don't get headaches, but I know that the damage from football is done."
The fighters in the UFC, like Mitrione, take significant physical risks to entertain us. I'd like to see them be better compensated for that risk. It's clear that a brief moment on television won't allow an upstart clothing company to make up the difference between living check to check and making a real living. The promotion has to do that. I think it's time.

It looks like spring is finally here to stay. Birds are chirping, the sun is shining, and everything is a beautiful green. Springtime also marks the beginning of the gardening season for many residents. What better way to get started on the right foot than with an engaging instructional session?
This Saturday, Maplewood's Schlafly Bottleworks hosts the Fruit Trees for Home Gardens workshop from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. During this three hour session, participants will learn how to create a home garden that produces fresh seasonal fruit the whole family can enjoy.
With the help of instructor Dan Kelly from Blue Heron Farm in Canton, Missouri, participants will learn how to plant, prune, graft, cultivate, and harvest many fruit crops including peaches, apples, pears, and cherries.
With the huge bounty of fresh fruit you're bound to produce, preservation will be key. Luckily, the workshop will also focus on preserving your crops to enjoy throughout the rest of the year.
The price for the class is only $40, which is a steal when you think about the many fruits you have the potential to grow. Interested gardeners can sign up for the Fruit Trees for Home Gardens workshop by calling or emailing Sue Kaiser at 314-630-5910 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Went here for Father's Day lunch very disappointing after an incredibly long wait between courses and being served lukewarm food and asking a couple of times how much longer we were told that we would have to expect to wait as it was busy. The thing is they must have known how busy it was going to be as most of the people had booked, why not take on extra staff to cut down the waiting time. The food was OK but I will not be returning.

American Hunger and Health At Issue
Statistics on poverty-related hunger in the United States are always shocking. Food Stamped is a documentary that focuses on the issue of American hunger and health by introducing an eclectic selection of American citizens who, because of economic hardships caused by a variety of factors, must rely on food stamps to supply them with their entire supply of comestibles. Filmmakers Shiva Potash and Yoav Potash follow their subjects through the business of shopping for a month's supply of food, using their limited budgets -- that allotted to them by the food stamps program -- to try to provide balanced, nutritious meals for their families. It's a task that is extremely difficult to accomplish, even for super savvy shoppers who plan their purchases for the entire month, and ration their consumption to make their supplies last until the next allotment of food stamps comes through.
Of their various subjects, one stands out in particular. He is an out of work teacher who suffers diabetes, and must stretch his $109 per month in food stamps -- and that is on the high end of the food stamp spectrum in his residential district -- to cover all of the dietary requirements imposed by his health condition. He borrows a neighbors car and travels 40 miles to the cheapest grocery story in the area, clips coupons for further savings, and keeps strictly to the shopping list he's written by hand in advance of his shopping trip. With all of his careful preparations, discipline and savvy, he still winds up buying a bunch of packages of instant ramen -- which has next to no nutritional value but is cheap, filling, easy to prepare and will not get stale or spoil before the next allotment of food stamps arrives and he goes shopping again. He knows that ramen doesn't serve his health needs, but it works in the budget -- and, when you're on food stamps, budget is really what counts.
Is It Possible To Eat Healthy on Food Stamps?
Determined to find out whether it is even possible for food stamp users to provide basic healthy diets for their families, team Potash -- who are husband and wife -- use themselves as test subjects in the film. They have a personal stake in this adventure. Shira teaches nutrition-based cooking classes to elementary school students in low-income neighborhoods. Most of her students come from homes that qualify for food stamps. Shira and her documentary filmmaker husband, Yoav, take their food stamp challenge see what it's like to eat on roughly one dollar per meal -- equivalent to what the kids in Shira's classes have to spend.
Armed with an allotment of food stamps, they set out to sustain their own healthy diets for a month. They film themselves shopping, preparing food, discussing what to eat and what to save, and, even, dumpster diving for loaves of bread. They bicker gently about whether they're able to afford to have eggs with their beans for breakfast. They calculate whether they can have seconds on the salad, or whether they must save some for the next day. To them, the food stamp challenge is interesting and fun, but they acknowledge that if they had to exist on a food stamps budget month in and month out, calculating every penny and every bite, they'd quickly tire of it. They are well aware that some of the people they've interviewed for the film cannot simply switch off the food stamps rationing.
At the end of the month, according to plan, team Potash invites a friend over for dinner, and they serve her things that they've been saving for the occasion -- including the free samples of cheese that go into the making the quiche and their last carrot, which is used to spike the special occasion salad. At the end of the meal, they tell their friend that she has played a part in their food stamp challenge, and ask her whether the meal had seemed different in any way. She perceived it as a regular, delicious and nutritious meal, noting nothing special about it. Good for team Potash.
The filmmakers concluded their test month by consulting with a nutritionist, who confirms that they've managed to follow the guidelines of good nutrition, but says that their calorie intake -- around 1700 calories per day -- is on the low side and warns that if they sustained that diet for a long period of time, they would lose weight. They are both thin, and weight loss would not be recommended.
Why Are Many People Who Rely On Food Stamps Obese?
The problem is that the more nutritious fresh, non-processed, not pre-packaged foods that will satisfy hunger and keep weight down are quite a bit more expensive than processed foods that contain a lot of empty calories and have a lot of additives.
Although they were shopping daily, team Potash's biggest challenge was maintaining their supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. They found they could afford broccoli some days and not others, depending on the day's prices.
The fresh fruit and vegetable problem is even greater for food stamp recipients who shop once a month. Fresh produce doesn't keep well. For the most part, they just don't buy it. But, even if they do reserve a portion of their buying power for fresh produce, the items that are most affordable are not necessarily the most nutritious. For example, mass-produced, genetically engineered corn is cheaper than organically grown broccoli. Corn is higher in calories than broccoli, and broccoli has essential nutrients not present in corn. Yet, food stamps will buy quite a lot of corn, and very little broccoli.
Conducting interviews with experts, the filmmakers learn that the prices for corn and some other crops are low because farmers receive government subsidies for growing them. Broccoli farmers are not subsidized. So prices are higher.
The discrepancy suggests that the Farm Act, which became law during the depression, might need revision. There isn't any discussion in the film about how difficult the politics of changing the Farm Act might be.
Food Stamps and Kids
There's widespread concern about the statistics on obesity in American children, and the rise in diabetes among the young. It comes as no surprise that kids whose families are on food stamps are more likely to be obese, but the situation is apparently exacerbated by school lunch programs that should be a nutritious supplement to what the kids eat at home. That's often not the case. According to one school nutritionist interviewed in the film, the budget for school lunch programs suffers from the same deficiencies as food stamp payouts. Too little money is available to feed the kids fresh, unprocessed foods. The nutritionist explains, too, that kids will only eat what they're used to, and they're used to pre-packaged foods -- the kind of things they eat at home. Serve anything else, and they won't eat it. She says she's doing the best she can with her limited resources.
Other school nutritionists are finding alternative solutions. One school has arranged to have special nutrition classes and cooking sessions for kids and their parents. Apparently when kids become more active in preparing their food and their curiosity about nutrition is awakened, their attitude towards consumption changes for the better.
There are no easy solutions, and the film doesn't advocate any specific action. But it certainly puts the issues on the table for some healthy debate.
Some Surprising Statistics
There's a fairly constant stream of discussion about obesity and diabetes in the news, and steady supply of tips about how to stretch your budget. Food Stamped does a very good job of connecting the dots, of putting statistics into a context where you can see their impact on people's lives.
There are also some interesting surprises. For example, did you know that the overwhelming majority of food stamp recipients are white men and women who are business professionals? That's not because other segments of the population don't need food stamps. A huge sector of the population apparently don't know food stamps are available to them. According to the film, California returns hundreds of thousands of dollars designated for food stamps to the federal government because they are not distributed to qualifying citizens who do not apply for subsidy. That's amazing.
Seeking Food Justice
Food Stamped won't resolve any of the issues it raises, but it will give people who are struggling to make ends meet -- whether they rely on food stamps or not -- a good understanding of how to begin to cope with providing proper nutrition for themselves and their families using the limited resources at their disposal. It should also be seen by policy makers and legislators who are actively engaged in devising and funding programs that should keep our populous well fed and healthy. Along the way, they consult with food justice activists, nutrition experts, politicians, and ordinary people living on food stamps, all in order to take a deep look at the struggles low-income Americans face every day while trying to put three-square meals on the table.

Debbie Blank The Herald-Tribune
The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- — Alicia Munchel, Brookville, was one of 479 AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) members who graduated July 26 after completing over half a million hours of service and over 275 projects, including 78 disaster recovery ones.
The 24-year-old reported by e-mail Aug. 23, "In college I was involved in a national service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega, and did a lot of community service. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do for my career after college, but I knew service was important to me, so I started looking into short-term service programs. AmeriCorps NCCC gave me the opportunity to serve others while seeing a lot of different places. It was a good fit for me."
She was assigned to NCCC's Southwest Region Campus in Denver and arrived Oct. 9, 2012, to begin her 10 months of service. "I was in Denver for one month of training, as well as between projects."
The daughter of Jerry and Kim Munchel was part of a team of nine other members who completed a series of projects, typically lasting six to eight weeks each. She recalls, "My most meaningful project was four weeks spent in the small town of Howe, Okla. There, my team restored a drainage ditch that had been constructed during the Great Depression ... It was originally built to help prevent malaria, but now it is the only drainage channel to move water away from the town. The people of Howe were so appreciative of our work and went out of their way to support us and show us their gratitude. I really felt like we were helping them."
Scenes from one project in Colorado Springs, Colo., will stay with the Franklin County High School graduate. "My team was some of the first people to respond to the Black Forest fire. We were on scene within an hour of when it started, fighting it right at the flame front. That first day we dug fire line for about seven hours straight. Digging line means clearing a line of vegetation 12-18 inches wide to create a break in the fuels that the fire requires. When the fire reaches the line, there is nothing for it to burn, which in theory will stop it. You also have to account for aerial fuels and chainsaw down trees to make sure the fire won't get into the treetops and cross the line there.
"The first day the fire did get into the canopy right in front of us and jumped our line. The tops of the trees were torching with flames. It was certainly eye-opening to see how powerful a wildfire is and how powerless we are to stop it. My team was on the fire for nine days."
Two other projects were at a Boys & Girls Club in Farmington, N.M.; and working at Ferncliff Camp just outside of Little Rock, Ark.
Munchel admits, "My favorite project was the one in Howe, but my favorite place was Colorado Springs. There was a lot to do in the Springs and it is just such a beautiful place with the mountains so close."
On the other hand, she reflects, "A low point would just be getting burnt out on service at some point. It's an incredible thing to do, but doing it as a full-time gig can be challenging. You have to remind yourself why you do it."
Now that her stint has ended, Munchel may have more time for her favorite pastimes – running, reading, boating on the lake and, more recently, scuba diving.
True to form, she is being active right now. "After graduation I returned home to Indiana to spend a few days with family. I then caught a bus to Maine with a friend who was on my team in AmeriCorps, and we began hiking the Appalachian Trail Aug. 3 with hopes of reaching Georgia by Christmas. We have hiked 256 miles as of this morning," she said Aug. 23. "Maine is beautiful, but we'll soon be in the rocky state of New Hampshire."
Munchel graduated from Indiana University in May 2012 with a bachelor's degree in biology. In the future, "I would like to do something along the lines of environmental science or marine biology."
Her NCCC experience has given the young Hoosier another job possibility. "I gained several useful skills, including time management, how to work effectively on a team and communication skills. I also received very specific training for wildland firefighting, which I am considering putting to use doing a couple of seasons on a fire crew."
Thinking back about her altruistic work, she realizes, "Something I'll certainly always have with me from this experience is just the people. I met so many incredible people. People willing to tell you about their town, what it's like there, challenges they face. People willing to share their story and listen to yours."
"My term with AmeriCorps let me see a variety of communities in our country. I learned that regardless of how different communities may be, all have challenges they have to overcome."

Program details • AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (www.nationalservice.gov) is a full-time, residential, national service program. During their 10-month terms, members "work on teams of eight to 12 on projects that address critical needs related to natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural development," explains Heather Dirck, AmeriCorps NCCC Southwest Region Campus community relations specialist. • AmeriCorps NCCC, administered by the Corp. for National and Community Service, certifies 100 percent of its members in disaster relief, and has responded to national disasters since the program began in 1994. • There are four other NCCC campuses located in Sacramento, Calif.; Perry Point, Md.; Vicksburg, Miss.; and Vinton, Iowa, each of which is a hub for its respective area of the country, though teams will travel to other regions for disaster relief projects. • In exchange for their service, members receive $5,550 to help pay for college or to pay back existing student loans. According to Dirck, "Other benefits include a small living stipend, room and board, leadership development, increased self-confidence and the knowledge that, through active citizenship, people can indeed make a difference."

The West Broad Street YMCA made miracles happen during this Christmas season.
The YMCA held their 32nd annual Miracle on May Street event on Saturday. Hundreds of Families in need from Savannah and surrounding communities lined up to receive toys, clothes and school supplies for their children.
"Every year coming up to this we start collecting the toys, it's just a happy event. It makes everyone feel really good to be able to give back. We know at this time of year some families are out of work or sick or for whatever reason don't have the means to make it happen for a child and we are standing in the gap for those families and we love it," said Program Director Deborah Enoch.
They expected to provide more than 700 children with gifts this year.

"Dear Jon,
I was living in London in 2004/2005 on a 2 year working holiday visa. I left to come back to South Africa and never closed my Natwest Account or cancelled my vodafone contract (the guy on the customer service line said I can just let the contract run out, it was for 18 months, but he was misled and I still received bills for months after that time). I had a 500 pound overdraft and had a debit order on my contract. I have not received any communication from either, my last bill received was in 2006 I think. Im now planning to travel to New York via London and was wondering if I will be in trouble at Heathrow Airport?
Wondering If theres any chance of being arrested or detained due to the slight debt history I have in London?
Can you please help me and also give any advice on what I would need to do to clear my situation.
Many Thanks!

The Answer
You can relax, you will not be arrested at Heathrow when you land, not just for owing a few debts in the past.
If you have received no communication from the bank or any creditors for a period of six (6) years, you may no longer owe the debt(s). If a creditor has had no contact with you, or made no attempt to contact you for six years, a debt can be statute barred, meaning it is no longer owed. The tricky part is if the bank or creditor has tried to contact you, but doesn't have your current details.
But from what you said, you'll be fine passing through London.

Hey! New member posting for the first time here!
I just bought the Sages 1, 2, and 3. I love the looks of the 1 the most, but I really like the bolt action lock of the 3. I do have to admit that I feel like the 3 falls behind on the looks department. I was browsing on knifecenter and I saw that they have a Sage 3 with Carbon Fiber scales for preorder. Here's the link. They said they don't have any sort or release date on it yet and I can't find any information on it at all. Does anyone know anything about this knife or if it's even actually going to be produced?

MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - ULM says the revamped site will emphasize the university's mission while ensuring a consistent, easy to navigate, and visually attractive look. The web site overhaul will take place over the next several months as more departments and programs migrate their current site into the new content management system. Once in the new system, updating the university site will be much easier for web contributors.
The new design is clean and modern, featuring a prominent photo feature, a special section dedicated to recruitment events, and links to application and information request forms.
ULM's new site is the most recent in a series of technology initiatives aimed at recruitment. In June 2011, ULM unveiled the mobile app, which has since been updated to include new features, such as classroom finders. In September 2012, ULM released a new virtual tour, allowing students and parents to experience the physical beauty of ULM's campus.ULM President Dr. Nick J. Bruno says, "We are constantly exploring new ways for students to discover ULM. A major facet of that exploration means creating technology that appeals to those potential students. This new web site ensures our future and current students can easily navigate our web site and enjoy the same great experience online as they do on our campus." ULM's Computing Center staff conducted a series of small focus groups comprised of faculty and staff with technology and recruitment expertise. The computing center also surveyed deans and professional staff about their web site expectations. In addition, ULM's Marketing Committee reviewed the new design. Rob Glaze, webmaster in the ULM Computing Center, is the project director for this initiative. He said, "A content management system ensures consistency in look, consistency in navigation, and consistency in a user's expectation. This system also provides a framework for multiple web contributors to provide and edit the web site content more efficiently."

Marmalade Suede brings a new flavor of jam
Konner Johnson
Staff Writer
Local band Marmalade Suede has caused quite the buzz around the area lately, especially considering the group has only been together a few months. The group has a wide spectrum of influences including everything from jam, roots-rock, funk, country and even elements of jazz. Since their first show last September, the group has played the Blue Ox in Bemidji, Art Leap Music Festival in Nevis, Minn. and the Crooks Club in Crookston, Minn., as well as Fargo's Nestor Tavern with new and upcoming local singer-songwriter group Jade & the Greenhouse.
The ingredients in Marmalade Suede have been percolating for years. It all started when vocalist and guitarist, Mike Scarsk started to jam with Detroit Lakes bassist Ryan Engberg. Some years later, both percussionists in the group, Carlee Kuhn and Shea Volker, joined and formed what was then, Vibes for the Tribes. After a few brief side-projects among the members, Marmalade Suede emerged when Mike and Nick Laid from their other project at the time, named Crockpot, teamed up with Vibes for the Tribes and played gigs together last summer.
"It was an instant match and after the first show, we all decided to refine the current songs and write new material together as a band," Engberg says.
Since summer, all six members, including Hank Fiskevold on trumpet, keyboard and backing vocals, have been playing steadily together. The band plays mostly their own material, but it has also done covers from Grateful Dead, The Doors, Rage Against the Machine and Talking Heads.
"Our influences with a band of six people are unsurprisingly pretty diverse," Engberg says.
The group plans for a busy summer performing and is also on track to make an appearance at Detroit Lakes' Zorbaz in the coming months. Marmalade Suede has already played with some well-established groups in the jam community such as the Premiums and John Wayne & The Pain. Anyone interested in catching a preview before a show, check out their nine tracks from their show at Nevis' Terrapin Station, which are available for free both on their Facebook page and their band page on Reverbnation.
This year, the band hopes to play more shows around the Fargo and Detroit Lakes areas. They also plan to perform at the Muskie Days Festival in Nevis and to record an album in the fall.
If anyone likes jam, funk or simply music to groove to, be sure to check these guys out. For updates on shows and upcoming music, check them out on Facebook and other band pages. With a momentous year ahead for the group with shows and recording their first studio album, Marmalade Suede should continue to supply fans with jams for quite some time.

Custom implemenation, i dare the experts!
4 April 2009 at 4:01am
Dear Everyone,
SilverStripe is great and I would like to use it to do the following:
- Use the subsites module to create different virtual sites
- Link several domains to sliverstripe login page, so the users of those sites can login
- After login they should be served there own admin section where there can edit there subsite website
- Each site should have a few pages pre created + 1 contact form users should be able to change these on a per-user base
- Users can register and get a temporary place to edit there own site.. this would not be visible to anyone except the user itself
true a link like www.mysliverstripeinstall.com/customers/customername
- User can register on a custom made page with there personal details, they can set there own password including checks if a user already exists and print out error messages if they do
- After registration the user recieves an email with there details and user name + password
- These created users should be visisble in the admin to the admin only, there should be an option for the admin to "move" these users to a subsite website that is created by hand in the admin, there domain can then be linked to the mysilverstripeinstall.com site, they can however login from login.mysilverstripeinstall.com even if they are not "full" user yet.
If anyone can point me out in the right direction this would be higly appreciated,
I can provide webspace on a fast server and network in return. Also if some of above requires custom coding i would like to request you to contact me true the private function on this board for a quote on this. I would consider hire someone for this, but dont expect a thousand dollar buget, this site if for a football/soccer players and its a non profit solution.
I have been looking around a long time for a solution, silverstripe seems to be the best and solid solution that provides most of these functions out of the box! I hope to hear from any of the experts on this board, can you tackle above and can you provide me with some details on how i can acchieve (some parts) of the above request? Or make me an quote if you think you can achieve this.
Kind regards have a nice day!
Can this be done with sliverstripe, can anyone help me in the correct dirrection and tell me if this is possible and how this can be achieved?
