There is no doubt in my mind that the road to the superbowl in the AFC will go through both these teams. The Texans and their vaunted defense was over matched. Matt Schaub has no business being mentioned in the upper echelon of QB's in the league, and one mountain of a man successfully disrupted a very good running game. New England played the game of the season and showed that their offense is much more elite than the Texans defense. I want to examine a few things in this post----first I'm going to layout how I think the seeding and playoff outcomes will play out, then I'm going to outline some strategy on how to approach a rematch with the Patriots. Briefly, let me outline why I think the Broncos and Pats are the two best teams in the AFC right now:
Broncos: Top 5 offense and defense. Has enough players and enough interchangeable parts to be able to much up with New England's offense even if the Pats still hold an edge in this particular matchup. We can force enough punts to give our offense more opportunities to score.
Pats: Dangerous running game and dangerous passing game. Secondary is much improved, both Talib and Dennard can man up on the outside. The Pats will play a lot of Cover 2 Man under to keep plays in front of them.
Ravens: Inconsistent offense and poor defense with a lot of injuries and missing pieces.
Texans: Struggling defense (don't forget the Jags and Henne putting all those points on them), offense reliant on running game.
NE is better than anyone else on offense and their defense is starting to play better especially in the secondary. We have the most complete team with both an offense and defense that feeds off each other and a special teams that consistently wins the field position battle for us. Here's a look at where everyone stands now, and what teams are left for each to play.
Table is deleted, looked too weird
Now, let me just get this out of the way first. I expect NE to win out and HOU to lose at least one game. The Patriots play SF at home and NE is a force in Foxboro. Besides after yesterday, even if SF's defense can slow them down, I don't expect their offense to keep up. I also expect The Broncos to win out, the Ravens to hold onto their division, and for Houston to win the #2 seed thanks to an early season victory against us. The 6 seed is inconsequential because whoever gets it will be vastly overmatched against the rest of the AFC playoff teams except for IND and BAL who are unlikely to get the 3rd seed. Here is what it will look like:
6. AFC North
Setting up the matchups, in the first round we have:
AFC North @ DEN
We mop the floor with PIT or CIN and BAL squeaks by IND. So the divisional round ends up like this:
Even if the Colts beat Baltimore, neither team is making it past NE. They advance to the conference championship. We on the other hand face a rematch in Houston. Now, what plagued us in our first meeting 1) Tracy Porter and Safety mishaps 2) No rhythm on offense 3) Arian Foster. All three areas have improved. We aren't seeing the type of breakdowns in our secondary, Porter has long since been replaced by a more reliable Chris Harris and Tony Carter, and our run defense is ranked 7th in the league. Schaub isn't getting it done the 2nd time around, and though Foster will get some yards, I don't think their offense will have enough to match blows with ours----which by the way is much, much, improved since that meeting. Denver wins, and though it is a road game, it will also be played indoors which negates any weather considerations.
Breaking down NE
This is more a philosophical breakdown and the problems NE creates. With Gronk and Hernandez, the Pats can essentially run their entire offense from 12 personnel. Their parts are so interchangeable that they can be moved all over the formation to create mismatches. They can split their back wide and bring Hernandez into the backfield creating a mismatch on the LB. Both TE and WR can exploit the outside, the middle, and the seem, and when coverage is good, you still have checkdowns capable of getting big gains.
They can run no huddle through this formation---and this is the most important part-----they can be just as effective on the ground as they can through the air with this personnel. Lots of flexibility, if you show a smaller defense with more DB's, Brady can check into a run and both Hernandez and Gronk are very good at blocking. Have your base D in there? Fine, they will exploit it through the air.
The key against a potential rematch with NE hinges on our defenses ability to be every bit as versatile and effective as their offense, and just kicking around some ideas last night in the open thread, here are some of my thoughts.
What killed us last time was no substitutions, not being set, bad tackling, and bad LB play. A huge reason their rushing attack was so potent was the fact that hey snapped the ball before our guys were even set. So here is how JDR should approach it:
- Put personnel in that can play an entire series, no substitutions.
- Put personnel in that can defense the run and pass on any given play.
In my opinion, here is what that defense looks like:
D Line: Von and Elvis ends, Vick/Unrein, Ayers/Wolfe/Jackson Tackles
Both Von and Elvis can set the edge, Vick and Unrein have been used in both rushing and passing situations, so just think that either one of them works. Same thing with Ayers and Wolfe, though Wolfe has been used more at end in running situations.
If you have a set with Von, Elvis, Vick, and Ayers you have four guys that can bring pressure. Also, Ayers and Vick have been used in zone coverage with a blitz scheme---not that I'm advocating for either of them being in coverage against anyone for NE. The last few games Vick has gotten good push against the running game, and we know that Ayers is more than capable of making plays here too.
This gives you flexibility and a line of guys that can defend both.
I'm a little more nervous about Wolfe and Unrein as a group against the run, though Unrein holds the point of attack pretty well. The point is, pick two guys from the 4 and they are the DT's on that drive. Von as a hybrid pass rusher/LB gives you flexibility in playing an odd man front or even man front.....in fact most everyone in this rotation can. Pick 2 and plug them in, on the next series use a different combo to preserve stamina.
Linebackers: DJ Williams/Wesley Woodyard, Danny Trevathan/Wesley Woodyard
I commented that you might even want to think about Danny and DJ exclusively, but it really depends on what you want. From all accounts DJ is a better coverage in man, and WW has done some damage in zone. Danny has almost exclusively played man. So, mix and match depending on what you want. You can play zone and keep everything in front of you----this assumes minimal yards after reception, or you can man up and provide some safety help.
WW, DJ, and Danny can all make plays in the running game, though to that end I'd feel more comfortable with a WW DJ combo.
Secondary: Champ, Carter, Harris, Moore, Adams/Leonard
Here's where we can talk about what you could do coverage wise. Welker is Brady's outlet, no denying that. Lloyd can make plays over the top, but let's face it he's not a #1 in the same mold of a dominating Calvin Johnson or something like that. The TE's create issues, as does the checkdown from the backfield. So do you man up against Welker and Lloyd with Champ and Harris? That leaves a couple of safeties and LB's on the TE's. With their size, it is hard to envision the NE TE's as not having a physical advantage over anyone we can cover them with.
Do you play Cover 2 Man Under and keep the big plays in front of you? I can guarantee Brady will counter with either a running play or 4 verts which will leave a favorable one on one somewhere----also think of the verts clearing out the LB's and leaving a checkdown with plenty of space.
Do you play a soft zone and "bend but don't break" philosophy and hope for a mistake at some point? NE doesn't make many mistakes, Brady has thrown a handful of INT's all season.
Do you play man across the board and bracket a guy or two with a safety/LB?
There are a million things to contemplate in this matchup, but that really isn't the point of this article. The point is, a one-size fits all approach is what the Broncos have been cultivating in recent weeks. Remember when the Broncos played the Chiefs with a lot of nickel even on rushing downs? We have seen a lot of interchangeability with personnel and this is why. The Broncos know that a SB run is likely to pit them against NE at somepoint. You can't substitute, Brady will run no huddle. You can't get too cute with blitz schemes, Brady recognizes them. You have to put your best 11 guys out there---a group that can defend the pass and run regardless of down and distance, and you have to win most of your battles man up.
Really, we are not talking about shutting the Patriots down, we are talking about limiting their impact. But I think if Del Rio takes the one defense for all approach and moves his guys around correctly, it will accomplish that goal. We have a lot of impactful versatility on defense just as the Pats do on offense. Now we need our guys to continue and sharpen each other because come playoff time, we will go only as far as our defense takes us. Manning will be Manning and our offense will score points. I think our special teams will chip in and help us control field position, hell, Holliday might even give us a score or two who knows? But the road to the SB goes through NE, and more specifically through their offense. Contain it to 21-24 points and we have a shot.
Hope you enjoyed the read, if you'd like to speculate on defensive personnel groupings or what the Broncos could do to slow the Pats down, by all means share your thoughts. Until next time Broncos fans, cheers!

PERRYSBURG, OH (WTOL) - Michael Skaff was the lucky winner of a contest put on by Taylor Hyundai for Perrysburg High School students who kept their grades up, had good attendance and stayed active in school activities. He won a 2010 Hyundai Elantra that he plans to take with him to college in the fall.
"My parents actually told me that my old car was unreliable to take to college, but now I have a new one to take there," said Skaff.
Teachers nominated students whose names were then put into a drawing. Of those students, ten names were chosen. It was then narrowed to three students who got keys, and Skaff's key started the vehicle.
"It was great. The students were fantastic. They were cheering and yelling, and obviously they were excited. It's fun to see people get excited about something like this."
After the assembly, Skaff was able to take his new ride for a quick spin before he went back to class.
Taylor Hyundai encouraged juniors to do their best next year because they'll be doing the same thing next spring.
Additionally, all Perrysburg School District teachers will now receive free oil changes.

The flexibility, portability, and convenience of online degree programs make universities that offer them an excellent option for many military personnel and their families. But as with traditional universities, the quality of military-friendly online universities varies greatly.
Everyone has something – a scene in a movie, a quote, the example of a loved one – that keeps them motivated, that they go to when they need a reminder to keep trudging forward. When they need inspiration. We recently asked the WGU Facebook fan community for their go-to source of inspiration, and as usual, we were not disappointed.
WGU student Xavier Smith is a student in WGU's online business management bachelor's degree program. He is also a professional editor. In today's guest blog, he has some easily implementable tips for WGU students to improve their writing skills.
As they say, it's not what you know; it's who you know. But in the networking-crazed world of business today, how do you keep track of who you know, and who they know, and how the people who know the people you know might help you reach your goals? If you're like a growing number of professional networkers and job-seekers, you go to LinkedIn.

A new malware network
Panda Software Labs today announced its discovered a data theft scam using a new variant of the Briz Trojan, creating a malicious software network monitoring 2,700 computers across more than 120 countries, stealing personal information including bank data and passwords.
The creators of the network have been distributing Briz.I from various Web sites, mostly related with illegal or pornographic content, Panda says. The company is working with other security firms to identify and close down each of the poisonous Web sites and prevent the threat from spreading.
Briz.I infiltrates infected systems under the name "iexplore.exe," simulating an Internet Explorer process. Once on the system, it downloads a file that sends information – including the IP address or country of the infected computer – to the attacker's Web site. Another of its components integrates with Internet Explorer, capturing all of the information users enter in online forms, such as e-mail passwords or data used to access online banking services. This malware allows the computer to be used as a gateway to connect to other Web pages while masking the identity of the attacker, who can remotely access files on the local computer.
Briz.I is designed to run unnoticed by users and covers its tracks after each feature carries out it's job. It also modifies a computer's files to stop users from accessing security company Web sites and disables the Windows firewall.
The view on video
Most people are cautious when it comes to trying new ways of accessing digital content, and they are pretty satisfied with current ways of accessing digital video, according to Ipsos, a market research firm. America's entertainment consumers consider emerging technologies like downloading video from the Internet as potential additions and not replacements for current ways they view entertainment, according a recent survey. Only a minority is open to bleeding-edge ways of accessing digital video over the Internet. For example, only 7% of those surveyed expected to increase the amount of time spent watching movies "on the Internet," and 6% expected to spend more time viewing them on iPods and other portable players. Meanwhile, 43% expect the amount of time spent watching DVDs they rent or own to rise.

As of now, it looks like the matches will include Battlefield 2, Dawn of War, FEAR and Unreal Tournament. Sweet...
Piracy reporting Web site
The Business Software Alliance, a trade group representing software firms, has launched a Web site where visitors can report situations in which they've bought illegal pirated software. The Alliance says the site is designed to raise awareness about online fraud and encourage people to submit their own stories of how they were tricked into buying pirated software online. Last year the Alliance shut down more than 16,000 auctions offering pirated products, most of which were on eBay, the group says in a statement. A global software piracy study conducted by IDC in May found 21% of software in the United States is unlicensed. In 2005, the U.S. lost $6.9 billion because of software piracy.
New flavor of BlackBerry
The new BlackBerry has a slimmer, narrower design that makes it look more like a phone but includes integrated wireless high-speed access to e-mail, text messaging, the Web, a personal digital organizer and other programs. It also uses RIM's SureType technology that melds a telephone keypad and a QWERTY keyboard into the slim design of a traditional mobile phone. Other features include smart dialing, conference calling, speed dial, call forwarding, polyphonic and MP3 ring tones, speakerphone and Bluetooth support for wireless compatibility with hands-free headsets and car kits.
New Spymac galleries

An extra 9 gigabytes of online storage and other services are available to Spymac Club members for an annual fee of $25 a year. Those subscribers can share or embed their photos and videos in their own or other's blogs, auctions and Web pages.
Video cameras from Microsoft
Microsoft has announced a new line of "next-generation" computer cameras called LifeCams that the company claims are designed to provide "groundbreaking video and audio quality." The first two cameras in the series, the VX-6000 and the VX-3000, include a Windows Live Messenger call button to make it easier to place video calls over the Internet to friends on a buddy list.
The VX-6000 is a 5-megapixel camera (for still photos) that also takes high-definition video at 1.3 megapixels.

jQuery Techniques for Web Designers
Posted on 07-08-2011 | Posted in jQuery, Web Designing, Web Development
With several JavaScript frameworks available, jQuery is quickly becoming a favorite. If you are interested in using jQuery for animated effects, here are 13 excellent tutorials to get you on your way.
Building an Animated Cartoon Robot with jQuery
Animate a hover with jQuery
How To Create A 'Mootools Homepage' Inspired Navigation Effect Using jQuery
CSS Sprites2 – It's JavaScript Time
Build An Incredible Login Form With jQuery
Learning jQuery: Revealing Photo Slider
Learning jQuery: Fading Menu – Replacing Content
Using jQuery for Background Image Animations
Animated Menus Using jQuery

Animated Drop Down Menu with jQuery
jQuery Tutorials for Designers
How to Load In and Animate Content with jQuery
To help you take it up a notch, we share below some methods that can help you give visitors to your website an amazing user experience. Here are over 45 impressive jQuery plug-ins and techniques that have been recently created and that could make the development of your next website an easier and more interesting experience than the last.
1. Build A Login Form With jQuery
2. Spoiler Revealer with jQuery
A simple technique that hides some content first and fades it in once a link is clicked.
This AJAX file upload plug-in allows users to easily upload multiple files without having to refresh the page. In addition, you can use any element to trigger the file selection window. The plug-in creates a semi-transparent file input screen over the button you specify, so when a user clicks on the button, the normal file selection window is shown. After the user selects a file, the plug-in submits the form that contains the file input to an iFrame. So it isn't true AJAX but provides the same user experience.
Give your users fancy Facebook-like dynamic inputs, with auto-complete and pre-added values.
5. Create Accessible Charts Using Canvas and jQuery
This tool is proof that you can use the <canvas> element to illustrate HTML table data. The idea is a good one: putting the data in a table allows it to remain accessible, while the chart can be shown for visual enhancement.
Form Manipulation
6. Radio Button and Check Box Replacement
This jQuery tool replaces radio buttons and check boxes with a more appealing display.
7. Submit a Form without a Page Refresh
Here is a quick and easy way to make a jQuery AJAX contact form with a "honeypot" to foil email bots, load success and error messages dynamically without leaving the page and provide descriptive error messages detailing why submitted values have failed validation.
9. Simple jQuery Form Validation
This jQuery form shows live form-input validators both server-side and browser-side.
Navigation Menus
A context menu plug-in for jQuery that features easy implementation, keyboard shortcuts, CSS styling and control methods.
Kwicks for jQuery started off as a port of the incredibly attractive MooTools framework, but has evolved into a highly customizable and versatile widget.
12. jQuery iPod-style Drilldown Menu
"We created an iPod-style drilldown menu to help users traverse hierarchical data quickly and with control. It's especially helpful when organizing large data structures that don't translate well into traditional dropdown or fly-out menus."
14. How to Create a MooTools Home Page-Inspired Navigation Effect
In this tutorial, you'll recreate the same effect seen in MooTools's menu, but in jQuery!
This tutorial demonstrates how to implement inline CSS Sprites2 using jQuery.
Manipulating Content
With some custom JavaScript and jQuery magic you can create some interesting widgets. A good way to demonstrate this functionality is by building a browsable Amazon.com books widget.
This tutorial explains how to use a slider to control the text size of an article on a page. This lets the user control exactly the size that suits them, and is also a pretty impressive feature to have on a site.
Create navigational elements: when you have a large number of items, you can group them into pages and present navigational elements that allow users to move from one page to another.
As with the last tool, groups items together using navigational elements that allow users to move from one page to another.
20. Creating a Slick Auto-Playing Featured-Content Slider
If you love the Coda-Slider plug-in for jQuery, then you will find this plug-in very useful for displaying lots of content in a small area. This nice plug-in adds some features not found in the original Coda-Slider, such as slowly cycling through panels, auto-playing different types of custom content. An arrow indicator serves as a visual indication of which panel you are currently viewing.
A simple horizontal accordion plug-in for jQuery.
Tabular Data and Grids
This tool generically adds a toggle function to any table row you specify based on a CSS class name. It will, by default, toggle on any check boxes within that table row.
Tablesorter is a jQuery plug-in that turns a standard HTML table with <th> and <td> tags into a sortable table without the need for page refreshes. Tablesorter can successfully parse and sort many types of data, including linked data, in a cell.
TableEditor provides flexible in-place editing of HTML tables. User-defined handler functions can easily be dropped in to update, for example, a data source via an AJAX request.
This JavaScript code can be used to convert ordinary HTML tables into scrollable ones.
Lightbox Techniques
Learn how to create a thumbnail photo gallery, where clicking a button reveals the entire photo and more information about that photo.
FancyBox was born to automatically scale large images to fit in windows, adding a nice drop-shadow under the zoomed item. It can be used to group related items and add navigation between them (using a pre-loading function). FancyBox is totally customizable through settings and CSS.
28. Facebox Image and Content Viewer
Facebox is a lightweight Facebook-style Lightbox that can display images, divs, and even entirely remote pages (via AJAX) inline on a page and on demand. It uses the compact jQuery library as its engine, unlike Lightbox v2.0, which uses Prototype.
jQuery.popeye is a plug-in that transforms an unordered list of images into a simple image gallery. When an image is clicked, it enlarges Lightbox-style. The images are displayed in a box with "Previous" and "Next" controls, and information about the images can be included.
Image Galleries and Viewers
Simple Controls Gallery rotates and displays each image by fading it into view over the previous one, with navigation controls that pop up when the mouse hovers over the gallery. The controls allow the user to play, pause or jump to a specific image in the gallery.
This jQuery plug-in allows you to easily create a custom carousel. Use the jQuery UI to enable many different types of transition. The plug-in uses PHP to call images from the folder you specify. Configure many different options including controls, slide timer length, easing type, transition type and more!
Browser Tweaks
32. Setting Equal Heights with jQuery
A script to equalize the heights of boxes within the same container and create a tidy grid.
33. jQuery IE6 PNG Transparency Fix
Another IE6 PNG fix that uses jQuery selectors to automatically fix all PNG images on a page.
This tool helps ease the pain of dealing with IE z-index issues. You can find a demo here.
IE puts scroll bars inside overflowing elements, and if an element is only one line, the scroll bar will cover it. This plug-in fixes that issue.
Lazy Load delays the loading of images below the fold on long pages. As the user scrolls down, the images are loaded as needed. Check out the demo here.
It's a fairly common design practice to limit the number of characters a user can input in a field while giving feedback on how many spaces are left. This plug-in automates that task.
Animation Effects
Scrollable is a flexible and lightweight (3.9 KB) jQuery plug-in for creating scrollable content. Scrollable items can contain any HTML, such as text, images, forms, video or any combination of them. You can make items scroll horizontally or vertically and decide how many items are visible at once.
39. jQuery Fading Menu – Replacing Content
"Instead of thinking about CSS as page layout and a way to style your page when it loads, you can use in animation and change it on-the-fly to react to events that happen on your page. Take for example a menu. You can take the "click" event that happens when clicking on a menu to do lots of stuff."
40. Build an Animated Cartoon Robot with jQuery
This effect simulates a faux 3-D animated background reminiscent of old-school side-scrolling video games (and not unlike the parallax effect). This effect is created by layering several empty divs over each other, with transparent PNGs as background images. The backgrounds are animated at different speeds using jQuery.
Flip is a plug-in for jQuery that "flips" page elements in four directions. Compatible with Firefox 2+, Internet Explorer 6+, Safari 3.1 (for Windows) and Google Chrome.
- Download files here.
42. Use jQuery for Background Image Animations
Animate your menu whenever a user hovers over an item with this effect.
Image Manipulation
Jcrop is the quick and easy way to add image-cropping functionality to your Web application. It combines the ease of use of a typical jQuery plug-in with a powerful cross-platform DHTML cropping engine that is faithful to familiar desktop graphics applications.
A rich date-range widget that uses the jQuery UI's date picker and some additional custom interaction.
Unordered lists are commonly used to structure a website's navigation. Having the ability to re-order such lists would be extremely useful. Here is a method to easily save and reload the list element order without getting lost as the page is refreshed.
47. Amazing Music Player Using Mouse Gestures and Hotkeys
Learn how to create an amazing music player, coded in XHTML and jQuery, that makes use of mouse gestures and hotkeys. You can click and drag the mouse to interact with the music player's interface or use directional keys and the space bar instead of the mouse.
48. jGrowl
jGrowl is a jQuery plug-in that delivers unobtrusive messages within the browser, similar to the way that OS X's Growl Framework works.

The injury news at the cornerback position for the Bengals just keeps getting worse. We knew that rookie defensive back Shaun Prater hadn't practiced since the rookie minicamps, but we didn't know how severe his injury was. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, it's severe enough for the Bengals to be placing him on Injured Reserve.
Prater will undergo surgery to clean up his knee at a later date. The rehabilitation, centered around his patella, could take up to four months, but he's expected to be ready for the offseason conditioning program.
This is not welcomed news for a position group that has been hobbling so far this offseason. Prater, though apparently headed to IR, joins fellow rookie Dre Kirkpatrick and 2010 third round pick Brandon Ghee as the walking wounded. Ironically, the age at the position group was supposed to be the Achilles heel, but the younger players have fell victim to injury woes. There hasn't been any official announcement from the club, so we'll keep you updated once we hear more.

The Dirty Dozen
The dirty dozen is, you guessed it, twelve fruits and veggies that are the most contaminated varieties with pesticides in traditional farming. Obviously its best to buy all organic produce but for some this may not be possible. Just by replacing these 12 varieties with an organic counterpart you can potentially lower your pesticide exposure by 80%.
We made,"The Dirty Dozen Poster" so you can print it out and place it on your fridge to remind you what fruits and veggies to buy organic.

According to the Alexandria Fire Department, liquid oxygen was leaking from the back of a Lincare company van.
The spill did not require any clean up, and the avenue's overpass on I-49 opened within an hour after it closed.

I've decided to implement a reward system for myself for losing weight, I have a few ideas, but I'd like to see what you guys can think of! Does anyone else do a reward system? If so, has it worked?
Some of my ideas:

- makeup
- purse
- teeth whitening
- perfume
- massage
- clothes (the last one, of course)

For keeping on track and working out regularly, I would download new music for my ipod. For weight loss, I bought new workout clothes and shoes - that was for each 25 pounds. When I lost 100, I bought myself a new grill since mine was falling apart.

My 20 pound goal reward is brand new makeup. I am going to get the works: eyeshadow, mascara, eye liner, lipstick, etc. I have avoided makeup because I didn't want people to notice me, but once I hit that 20, that will be a HUGE success for me and I want to celebrate it with the world!!!

The ones I'm aiming for now are: kindle, new runners, manicure, and the two big ones - a cruise and a new wardrobe full of clothes.

A professional photo shoot session (major goal).
A kitten or puppy (major goal).
A really good coffee from a fancy cafe (minor progress).
A sum of money that you get to give to your choice of charity instead of spending on bills and ordinary things (e.g. "if I don't stick to my diet this week, I'm depriving the local pet shelter of $10"!)

I'd been thinking I might ask for an anniversary trip to vegas but then I realize that I'm not gonna want to buy a cute new dress to go out in or anything because I'll want to wait until i'm close enough to my goal weight to buy a dress in that size. So maybe a birthday trip.
But the satisfaction of looking LESS fat is immeasurable, not to mention all the NSVs - I look forward to planking for a minute straight (did 35 seconds yesterday) and doing a real vertical pull up without the machine helping me, and today when I was in the gym I noticed the line of my back looks pretty good from the side so if I can just lose that pudge in the middle I will feel gooooood about it.

My goals and rewards are:
1st goal 139 - new earrings (goal met)
2nd goal 134 or 135 - new purse
3rd Goal 129 or 130 - I don't know yet
4th goal 124 or 125 - don't know yet
5th goal 120 - don't know
Final Goal 119
There are some good ideas listed on here. Rewards I'm thinking about: new HR monitor, tiffany earrings, new dress that I have my eye on (that I think is too expensive), new birkenstocks, teeth whitening, French lessons, tennis lessons, maybe a kindle, perfume but I don't know what kind.
I need to decide if I prefer the mini goals on 5 and 10 marks or right under at 4s and 9s. I'm thinking 4 and 9s will be much more incentive. I think I can get stagnant on the 5s and 10s.
Also, I am finding, the incentives work much better for me if my reward is something kind-of frivolous, something I feel guilty buying. If its not, then I would have already bought it.

While still waiting for the long gestating Taco Bamba, chef Victor Albisu (formerly of BLT Steak) has opened up his South American inspired temple to all things grilled, Del Campo, in PS7's former space.

Indeed, it's made with all the parts of the pig or cow that most people don't eat. More

Wandering through the Colombian/Peruvian Amazon, my wife and I discovered what the locals called uvas. It translates literally as "grapes," but these were nothing like normal grapes. Though similar to mangosteens, they're better in pretty much every way—better packaging, single-serving size, easy to peel, very similar flavor, and at least deep in the Amazon, a fraction of the cost. Of course, now the big problem is they're probably not available anywhere near where you live (whomp). More
American hot dogs are steeped in tradition, served at landmark restaurants and stands that have been doing it the same way for generations. But the frankfurter adapts easily to any cuisine, and lately, some of the wildest hot dogs have been coming out of Central and South America. More
Colombia is nothing if not diverse. While in the mountains around Bogotá hearty, rib-sticking stews and soup dominate the cuisine, just 90 kilometers east, at the start of the Llanos—the vast plains that sweep across the south-eastern half of the country—barbecue reigns supreme. More
Have you ever tried to eat 30 different fruits in one sitting? Don't. Your stomach will thank you. Trust me, it's not nearly as fun as it sounds. All in the line of duty, I suppose. South America's tropical fruit, however, are fantastic. Get to know 30 different kinds—from anón to zapote. More
After a recent trip to Chicago, a friend of mine brought back a beautiful red bag of coffee. If a tingling sensation did not just shoot through your neck, you may not be familiar with the coffee roasted Chicago-based Intelligentsia. It's an incredibly passionate and forward-thinking company, but when it comes down to it, the result of all the thoughtful hard work is discovered in the cup. This red bag contained an organic coffee called "Anjilanaka, Bolivia; San Juan Ocho Estrellas"—a long name for one bag of beans. Anjilanaka means "angels" in Bolivia's native language, and this coffee was named after the inception of Intelligentsia's big expansion into the Los Angeles market. More
From fast-food chains to street vendors, El Completo is Chile's hugely popular take on the hot dog. It starts with a wiener (known in Chile as "Vienesa") on a toasted roll with sauerkraut, then is buried under a thick layer of mashed avocado, chopped tomatoes, and an insane amount of mayo. More
According to Terrence Henry of The Atlantic Food Channel, Buenos Aires leaves much to be desired in terms of food and flavor. He notes that most restaurants use wood-fired grills, which he thinks blanket all foods with similar flavors. He also comments on the lack of variety in the street food available, saying that it is limited to empanadas. Henry writes: A great food city is a place that caters to all manner of the food-obsessed: vibrant street food, affordable ethnic and traditional dining, and highly acclaimed (and more important, highly respected by their peers) destination restaurants. It should have a connection to its seasons and soil (or sea, as the case may be). It should be a place... More
mattbites.com Matt Armendariz of Matt Bites visited Argentina recently. While there he came across salsa golf, a mixture of ketchup and mayo that he found everywhere. Intrigued by this condiment, he set up a blind taste test of different brands of salsa Ggolf. He tested Hellman's, Danica's, and Fanacoa's versions, as well as the house blend from Home Hotel, where he was staying. After a thorough tasting, he and his companions determined Home Hotel's version to be the best.... More

Photograph from Baptiste Pons on Flickr Layne Mosler gets her rides and her food tips from the same place: her cabbies. The Californian, who moved to Buenos Aires in 2005, is a writer for South American Explorer and Time Out Buenos Aires and started a blog called Taxi Gourmet in 2007. For each post, she randomly hops into a cab and lets the driver point her to locro (stew with hominy, peppers and meat parts), lechón (suckling pig), or chinchulín (cow intestines). "I initially thought maybe I want to pick older guys or guys with a potbelly or guys who look like they know how to eat, but you never really know," she told the Washington Post. A cab driver... More
From April 13 to 19, I traveled around Chile with two other American food journalists on a culinary media trip. Here's another snapshot from that week. —Robyn Lee While I was delayed at Newark Airport on my way to Chile (curse American Airlines...curse), I killed some time by calling my friend Diana and asking what she'd like for me to bring back for her and her Chilean boyfriend, Ian. "Negritas! Get Negritas! They're really good!" "Get a what?" "It's a type of biscuit. Ian's mom just brought a few bags back from Chile. ...And we ate a bag." I wrote down the name in my notebook and made it my major goal of the trip to return back to America... More
I spent half of my trip in Chile longing for a completo, a Chilean hot dog impossibly overloaded with condiments. What condiments? Sauerkraut, mashed avocado, chopped tomatoes, mustard, and—my favorite part—a generous splodge of creamy mayonnaise. Oh yes. More

Raising awareness, ensuring opportunity
Every 20 minutes a child is diagnosed with autism. There is no cure for this complex developmental disability that affects 1 in 150 people - but there is effective treatment. Since 2001 Bermuda Autism Support & Education (BASE) has been dedicated to providing autism-related information, referral, advocacy, training, and support to families, professionals, and community members. By increasing public awareness of autism, we help to ensure that individuals on the autism spectrum are given opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential.
The mission statement of BEST (Bermuda Environmental Sustainability Taskforce) is:
"To preserve and enhance the quality of life in Bermuda for present and future generations by advocating for sustainable management and development of the physical, social and economic environments."
Over the past 18 months BEN has been laying the groundwork for businesses to make a more meaningful contribution to education.
Phase 1 is capacity building and networking with parents to create a pool of resources.
Phase 2 is building relationships with principals at government schools. BEN does not provide financial donations or scholarships, what BEN can offer is a framework of services around three connected challenges:
• how to help schools connect with a range of high quality experiential learning activities;
• how to provide better, more tailored Career guidance to enable young people to make better choices about their learning and employment.
• how to help schools create systems for better and earlier intervention for young people;
Business: Pres. Tee welcomed PP Jeff noting that it was PP Jeff Sousa who had sponsored him to the club.
He then invited Patrice Horner and Megan Nesbitt along with PP Kirk as "Deputy" Sponsor in lieu of PP Jim. to join him and duly inducted Rtn Patrice and Rtn Megan into the HRC These were followed by Denise James and Terica Esposito who were sponsored by Pres Tee Finally but by no means last Major Shawn Critch who has been a waiting an embarrassingly long time to officially join us, with sponsor AG Keith.
Each of our new members told us a little of their background and were then officially congratulated by Pres Tee, IPP Barrett and AG Keith. Rtn Shawn forgoing the kisses from the "dynamic" trio and accepting a congratulatory hug!
The Rotary Foundation: PP Keith has been asking members all year to support the $100 EREY for the Foundation but where does it go and what does your contribution do?

Lupe Fiasco - SLR (Super Lupe Rap)
Artist: Lupe Fiasco
Producer: Soundtrakk
Album: Friend of the People Mixtape
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 54 total votes )
Now that Lupe Fiasco's superheroically dedicated fanbase have saved the artist's third album, LASERS, from languishing eternally on the Atlantic Records shelves (knock on wood), it's time for the Chi-town mainstay to pay his followers back in kind – and what better way to prove he's a true Friend of the People than a free mixtape? On SLR (Super Lupe Rap), leak numero uno off the forthcoming street release, the artist dons a cape and red briefs to showcase his lyrical superpowers over a bumping Chipmunk-sampled instrumental by Soundtrakk (led off with a snippet from N.E.R.D.'s Everyone Nose (Remix)). The verses… well, they're vintage Lupe, with all the dizzying complexity, left-of-center allusions (at one point, he threatens to steal Cornel West's 'fro) and outsized braggadocio that entails; "...better than every rapper in the world combined" may be an exaggeration, but then again… maybe not. Fans can expect more lyrical acrobatics from one of rap's flyest intellects, on FotP, which will presumably arrive sometime prior to the tentative March 8, 2011, release of LASERS.

|• Rules & Resolutions
|• Urban Affairs
Campaign themes
Leach's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[1]
Grow and Strengthen our Economy
- "Taxes should be lowered so that the Texans can keep more of what they earn."
- "I am committed to removing unnecessary regulations so that businesses can grow and create new jobs. I will also actively work against the creation of any new governmental and bureaucratic red-tape."
Stop Frivolous Lawsuits
- "This includes working to institute a true loser-pays system, encouraging the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution procedures such as mediation and arbitration, cutting back on wasteful discovery methods and eliminating needless juror profiling."
Uphold the Tenth Amendment
- "I will fight any efforts to erode the rights granted to the States under the Tenth Amendment. The Federal Government is expanding and intruding on our constitutionally-guaranteed States' rights at an alarming rate. This must stop."
Balance the State Budget
- "The budget shortfall expected in 2013 must be addressed head on with clear and bold leadership, without the continued accounting gimmicks designed to mislead taxpayers."
- "I will fight any effort to increase taxes or tap into the Rainy Day Fund. I will also work to make the system honest and transparent to the taxpayers."
Elections for all 150 seats in the Texas House of Representatives will take place in 2014. A primary election took place on March 4, 2014.

Favorite Wine: Norton
Located just off of Hwy 50, this little winery has a commanding view of the surrounding hillsides. Staff were busy preparing for a wedding, a birthday party, and operating their winery but they continued to take care of everyone. The Norton at the tasting bar had been opened for three weeks and had a brown hue to it. Unfortunately, I'm almost becoming accustomed to being served turned wine, so I ordered a glass out of a fresh bottle to really taste it. Big and smooth, with nice tannins. I picked up a bottle to drink out of Reidel glasses for an even better experience.

This weekend program teaches how to see the Great Eastern Sun, the primordial energy and brilliance that is the basis of all that exists - a living context for building a sane society.
"The Shambhala teachings call such vision the Great Eastern Sun. It is the mental conviction and prowess to engage in life with precision and purpose. When we remove deception and cultivate the willingness to leap into our own inherent brilliance, the forthright, clear intention of the Great Eastern Sun shines through. This form of bravery keeps us always moving forward."-Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
This is the first weekend in the Sacred Path series.
The Sacred Path program introduces further warriorship practices that extend the basic meditation training. These practices are based on a societal vision and aspiration to help the world. This level of training cultivates one's dignity and natural gifts that are able to widen one's sphere of compassionate and practical influence. During a series of visionary experiences that took place between 1976 and 1980, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche wrote down the Shambhala terma texts. The Sacred Path is based on these texts and on the extensive commentaries given on these teachings and on how to practice them in modern times. Prerequisite: To begin the Sacred Path, one needs to have completed Rigden weekend.
Please Note: This program is Saturday and Sunday only. The program begins Saturday morning at 8:30am.
A student of Shambhala Buddhism since 1973, Andrea Doukas has served as Director of the Halifax Shambhala Centre and recently retired as Director of the International Office of Practice and Education. As well as extensive experience teaching and leading practice programs in the Shambhala Community, she has a Masters degree in Creative Writing from the University of New Brunswick, and is currently working on her second novel.

With dollops of warm wax, Brazils Waxing Center's licensed technicians deftly pull hairs from their follicles to create smooth, clean expanses of skin. They draw from extensive experience waxing both men and women, and can remove strands from faces, legs, backs, and other areas. Clients who opt for Brazilians or bikini waxing sessions can specify exactly how much hair they want removed.

I'm going to be spending nine weeks this summer working in Morgantown. I want to be able to watch the Pirates during this timeframe. I am looking for help from the Morgantown-or-thereabouts contingency of the Bucs Dugout community. So, I have two questions for anyone who can answer:
1) Does Morgantown get Root Sports with a clear picture?
2) Are the Pirates blacked out on MLB.tv in Morgantown?
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

After debuting an extravagant Oscar de la Renta ball gown on the Academy Awards red carpet, Amy Adams changed into something a bit more manageable for the 2013 Vanity Fair Party at Sunset Tower in Hollywood.
While 'The Master' star didn't win the Best Supporting Actress nod, she still brought another Oscar to the Vanity Fair party, as she wore a dress from de la Renta's Pre-Fall 2013 collection.
Following last night's metallic trend, she was dripping in silver with this caviar-beaded fringe gown, which was paired with diamond drop earrings and a bracelet.
With the flapper flair of this look, it would have been expected for Amy to wear her hair in a retro pin curl. But she kept her her auburn locks sleekly swept back into a simple updo, similar to what we saw earlier in the evening.
Which of Amy's dresses was your favorite?
