In evaluating our game against the Ravens, I think shock and awe are the best words to describe every aspect of what I saw on Sunday. Let's be honest. MOST AP fans would agree that in preseason our defense impressed, while our offense was inconsistent at best.
Our QB play was bland and off key in preseason. Our running game faired a little better than did our passing game however. But our D impressed us the most really. We had 3 sacks in as many games in the pre. We were always in the face of the opposing QB.
How completely different things ended up playing out Sunday.
Granted our O didn't even get a first down until late in the 2nd Quarter. Our running game was anemic and pathetic. 11 carries for 20 yards?? That's definitely something to fear. We absolutely cannot have that happen again. No matter who we play, our running game cannot hide behind the passing game. We need to be balanced.
But once our O got in sync, we played respectable. Hell, we managed to put up 24 points against the "amazing" D of the Ravens. That silence a few critics for sure. Even Ravens fans gave us props. Weren't we the patched together team with the A-hole of a coach and tight lipped GM that was ruining our team with his flip flopping of players on the roster?
Hmmm. Now what? Well. Let's discuss that roster flipping for just one second. I have more faith than ever in Haley's decision making abilities after game one. I think it's probably somewhat fair to say that most of us on AP really liked Bradley last year and were baffled to some degree when Bradley never showed up on the starting team in OTA's.
Well, just goes to show how little we know compared to the brass. Turns out, Bradley is not the receiver we once thought him to be. Now I know it's only game one, but Bradley is not a rookie. No excused folks, he's a veteran NFL receiver and should know how to get to the marker..period. Please don't make excuses for him. He's a millionaire receiver in the NFL. There are no excuses. He flat failed us and his team on more than one drive. Potentially, he even cost us the game. POTENTIALLY!! So before you go ape Sh** on me I said "potentially" not definitely.
Now I can see what Haley saw in pre, with Bradley. He's not a physical receiver at all. In fact, he was awful on most plays. Before someone jumps all over that comment, listen to Haley's comments about Bradley (he didn't mention him by name, but we all know who he was talking about), go back and watch the tape again on Bradley. Pathetic.
Those failed first downs are game breakers against a SB contender team like the Ravens. Okay, you can get away with that against Detroit most times, but not the Ravens. Unacceptable. Haley's preseason roster makes more sense now doesn't it?
And Bowe?? Well, he just doesn't drop passes anymore!! Again, credit to Haley. Good job there too! What a difference in Bowe already.
And let's not forget that our "starting team" has yet to play one single snap together yet. Brodie is not starting team. Cassel can't fully participate in practice yet, so our first team still has had no time to get cohesive on offense yet and still managed with mediocre Croyle at QB to put up 24 pts. That should be enough to give you chills. In Baltimore in their house with a D that has had years to gel together as a unit, against our patched up offense with a backup QB we still put up 24 pts. ..that actually happened.
But as big a surprise as that was, our D, or lack thereof was just as much a shocker on the other end. Please please please I beg of you, don't be rediculous Chiefs fan and start defending our D. We were pathetic. Period. We have up nearly 200 yds rushing. And over 300 passing for over 500 yds total offense. There is no kleenex that can fix that tear jerker of a let down.
In the NFL there is never an excuse to allow 200 yds rushing and 300 passing. Ok. I don't care if your the biggest fan ever, there is nothing positive about that. I don't care how long they were on the field. That's the same ol' same ol' from last year. Close but no cigar. Lose another close on in the last 2 minutes...it was DeJa Vu all over again.
However, I strongly believe that by the 5th game of the season we will see what we truly have here as a team. They deserve that much at a minumum. They should be allowed the first 4 games to play as a unit and become cohesive before we pass any permanent judgement. Pendergast's defense was the same last year in AZ.
They finished stronger than they started. They created the most turnovers of any team in the post season. So hopefully we will find our stride defensively by then too.
Any thoughts?

Tropical waves may team up
By John Nelander
Forecasters are trying to sort out an increasingly complicated tropical weather scene as the strong tropical wave we talked about yesterday churns toward Puerto Rico. At the same time, another area of convection developed just east of the Bahamas.
You can get the best picture of both blobs on the National Hurricane Center's Caribbean satellite page. The NHC gives each area a small chance of tropical storm development, less than 30 percent.
The Caribbean wave, designated 97L, had a minimal impact as it moved through the Antilles, with less than an inch of rain in most places. A 39 mph wind gust was recorded on the island of Dominica.
Some forecasters think energy from the Caribbean wave will join up with the moisture in the Bahamas, crawl up the East Coast toward North Carolina and blossom into the season's first tropical storm.
"I believe that this system will be in the Bahamas by about Wednesday night and this is the point where it may encounter more favorable environmental conditions," Rob Lightbown, of Crown Weather Services, said in a post this morning.
Meanwhile, some Floridians have already dealt with their first storm – Hurricane John Paul. Did you miss it?
That was the name designated by Florida Catholic Charities during a drill July 15. The objective was to test communications equipment by getting it up and running as quickly as possible after a fictional Category 4 storm.
The idea is to position trailers in storm ravaged areas and offer Internet and phone connections via satellite. They'd be networked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other emergency services organizations such as the Red Cross.
Storm victims could sign up for assistance directly with the agencies by using the communications facilities. FEMA provided a dummy Web page so that organizers could identify any bugs that might interrupt the flow of information.
The three-hour drills took place in Pierson, in northwestern Volusia County; Tallahassee and Miami. More details on the plan can be found on the organization's Web site.

Appearance - pours a gorgeous coper/ale colour very clear and lots of carbonation present. the head pours a good 2-3 fingers and has some good lasting power. very foamy and full bodied too.
Smell - can really pick up the pine, followed by some malts and hops. there is also some base earthy tones (grass and breads) in there as well. as it warmed, i was able to pick up some caramels and citrus base as well.
Taste - very nice tasting and smooth beer. found the malts where smooth followed by the citrus and hops and finishes with the caramel. nice lasting taste, nothing overly bitter.
Mouthfeel - added carbonation brings a little more bitterness to the beer, there is some nicer hops and pine present. some decent volumes of carbonation added as well.
Overall - Glad i was able to land the 6 pack at the LCBO. This is another good one i am happy to have a few more to drink. very smooth and decent, good session beer for sure.

Picked up during a trip to Halifax. The beer pours a yellow-orange color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the flowery hops, along with some grass and biscuit malt. The flavor has hop aspects that are flowery, earthy and grassy. I also get some biscuit malt and a flavor that is reminiscent of iced tea. There is not much bitterness, but there is quite a bit of hop flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Not bad, but nothing too terribly special.

341ml bottle, another from the recent, and welcome variety pack from this East Coast brewer, now available at your finer booze purveyors of Alberta.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber hue, with three bulbous fingers of billowy, densely foamy, and eventually caked off-white head, which leaves a random vista of sudsy stratus cloud lace around the glass as it dutifully recedes.
It smells of mildly bitter citrus pith, resinous pine oil, a bit of fleshy drupe fruitiness, soft biscuity caramel malt, and further leafy, floral, and earthy hops. The taste still leans to the bitter, tending toward acrid hoppy side - astringent pine needles and generic orange rind, muddled orchard stone fruit, mostly, but balanced in a somewhat wobbly manner by some, at times, outmatched toffee/caramel malt.
The carbonation is average, with just a tame carbonic upswing at random intervals, the body a decent medium weight, and adequately smooth, which speaks more to the nature of the heretofore pushy hops. It finishes dry, with some persistently zingy leafy, citrusy, and piney bitterness, and a mere suggestion of boozy warmth.
I know there's been too much crossover in the IPA/PA side of things of late, but I still must confess that I like my APAs hoppy rather than not, so kudos to Garrison for feeding and indulging my habit here, almost to the point of malt irrelevance. Maybe not quite a yard's worth of hops, but something in the ballpark, that's for sure.

Deep golden orange colour, slight haze, off-white head. Head has lots of volume and decent retention. Not much lacing going on. Tropical and floral hop aromas are underpinned by a mild doughy malt character. Hop forward with bright tangerine flavour. Lightly toasted bread in the background. Grapefruit pith bitterness lasts long into the aftertaste. Medium bitterness. Medium bodied with low, soft carbonation. Feels creamy. Resinous and oily between sips. Love the way it feels. A good, simple, easy drinking APA.

Fresh bottle at Bar Volo. Pours auburn with a big creamy topping head. Many lace dots follow. A big mouthfeel and a high bitterness, this is bitter, still a good drinkability. A little sour in the sediment.A tongue shredder roughness to it. Hoppy aroma.

Go figure that a pretty good APA is made in Halifax. This beer, when poured into a pint glass is gold to copper in color. There is a smell of sweetness and some earthy hops. The taste is kind of strange. Sweet at first but then oddly bitter. Somehow I found it worked well and was quite enjoyable. Carbonation is noticable but it is still drinkable. I was suprised that I liked this as much as I did.

A - crystal clear copper golden, tall head with solid retention and random lacing
S - citrus and herbal with toasty grain and a fruity note
T - woody herbal and crisp citrus hop character, solid grainy malt backbone, with light fruitiness coming through on the finish
M - refreshing carbonation kick, pleasant dry bitterness with just a little breadiness to balance
D - a very sessionable beer for a hop lover, it has enough balance to keep it interesting, but the dry hopping allows the hops to come through aggressively

Pours a cloudy orange gold with a large bubbly off white head. Nose is an abundance of citrus and pine hops, resiny from the dry hopping. Some pale buiscuit malt and grain too. Taste is much of the same, a well balanced but sharply bitter pale. It's really crisp and easy to drink. Malt bill comes out in the finish. Medium bodied with a wet mouthfeel. Overall this is another decent Canadian pale ale. Vigorously hopped - though still falls short of the greats like Sierra Nevadas. Even so, worth grabbing a 6 pack of this summer and supporting more micros here in Ontario.

Pours a medium-amber, orange and just a bit hazy, with a thick and creamy off-white head that has good staying power and leaves thick lacing. Smell is hoppy, certainly, but not overwhelmingly so, and there is a definite note of biscuity malt. Herbal hops character, with a bit of pine and a note of light caramel as well. Flavour is bitter and sharp, rather grassy and with obvious malt in the middle. The dry-hopping is obvious, but more from the herbal notes than from a west-coast style wallop of citrus. Mouthfeel is very highly carbonated, but crisp nonetheless, and drinkability is very good. This was my go-to beer for hot days all summer, and, though it's not stellar by any means, it's a solid effort from Garrison.

Hazy amber body with a light cover of bright white head. Some lacing.
Nice hop blend on the nose: tropical fruit, citrus and light pine. Typically one of those three characteristics is featured but here they're represented equally, which is nice. Minerals and an understated, sweet malt join in.
The hop flavour is quite different from the profile found in the nose, dropping the tropical and citrus fruits and replacing them with earthy and grassy notes. Bitterness is substantial for a pale ale (with IBUs approaching IPA territory) though it's not backed by quite enough malt, which remains understated here as well. A slight bit of alcohol shows. Resiny pine and grapefruit pith linger on the finish.
The body is on the light side for my taste. Carbonation is appropriately on the low side of things.
Similar in character to their double IPA, if I remember correctly, though less intense of course. I would definitely buy more of this one if it were around. I'd prefer it with a touch more malt but as is, it's a very decent pale ale and well-worth checking out.

A- Pours a dark golden/coppery color that is very clear, and there appears to be big bristly carbonation rising to the top. The head starts off really fizzy and reduced quickly, eventually settling to a nice looking film. The lacing is modestly sticky on the glass, as it does slowly crawl back into the brew.
S- This has a citrus-dominated aroma, and I find this to have a sweet blend of apples and malt sugar. The finish has some fresh hop notes but I don't find it to be strong.
T- Okay, the hop character really took me by surprise....to me it borders on IPA territory as far as hops go. After getting by this bitterness, there is some malt sweetness and more citrus rind. The aftertaste shows more bitterness that lingers I find...not what I expected and too much bitterness...not enough balance!
M- The carbonation actually mellows out nicely in this medium bodied beer. It's creamy on the palate and I actually like the fact that a yeasty aspect develops as it warms up.
O- I'd really like this better if it was more balanced....just to many hops are used here in my opinion, which takes away from the overall flavor. Aside from this, I don't think it's a bad beer in the other categories, but do think it needs work.

A - poured a one finger white head into a medium wine glass - decent retention - fine patchy sticky lacing - an orange tinted amber hue
S - lots of floral hops with grapefruit and some malt
T - similar to the nose with a nice bitterness throughout that was somewhat spicy - the hops dominates but it is still malty enough to be well balanced - could not call it a 4 but the 3.5 I gave it does not do justice.
M - really enjoyed this aspect of the brew - a relatively bitter tang throughout but still smooth - the body is medium with a nice amount of carbonation
O - my first offering from Garrison is a definite thumbs up - this is one well balanced APA

Thanks to Moniker for making this one available for me.
The beer is copper looking color. It is lightly cloudy. The head is creamy and sticks well to the glass. The aroma is citrusy hops with some caramel notes (malts). The taste is dry and the bitterness is very good for an American Pale Ale. There is definitely more caramel in the taste than in the aroma. The taste is not very hoppy... maybe more floral hops in the taste. Medium body and easy to drink. Overall, this beer is a good American Pale Ale.

From a variety 6-pack, in a 341 ml brown bottle. Tall foamy white head on the pour with good retention, the body is a slightly hazed light copper hue.
Sweet mandarin and hints of pink grapefruit on the nose, piney and herbal as well, with faint grainy malt in the background.
Dry grainy malt in the flavour accompanied by spicy, grassy, dry herbal hops. Dry character overall.
Medium-full mouthfeel, creamy texture, mild carbonation yet gets brisk on the finish.
The aroma suggests an APA yet the flavour belies more of an English variety. A fairly easy drinker that rests on the dry side of things.

341 ml bottle poured into a Duvel tulip.
A: Pours a hazy orange with two fingers of thick white head; good retention and sticky lacing.
S: Smells of a bit of citrus and piney hops; a bit weak.
T: All I can taste is the bitter hop finish: very one dimensional.
M: Medium mouthfeel with a good carbonation level.
D: This is a decent APA but nothing special.
A couple things I need to get off my chest about this beer:
1. This was bottled two months ago. I'm sure this is entirely the lcbo's fault, but I can't help but feel this beer might have been better when fresh.
2. Stop using twist off caps! I took a bottle camping before I realized they were twist off and tried to open it with my swiss army knife. It broke the top of the bottle off. Today I made sure to twist the cap off but it took a herculean effort. Really, really lousy bottling guys!

Edit: Fresh bottle reveals a pleasant grassy and citrus hop, still a touch malt heavy but extremely drinkable and fresh. Very nice. Edited up slightly.
Extra in a trade from BBrianBoogie - thanks man!
Pours a lovely golden orange with a hint of copper almost, a finger of bubbly head that too quickly departs. Not perfectly clear.
Nose is pineapple, hints of citrus and pine but the hops aren't too bold and mesh with the hints of malt in the nose.
While this is no hop bomb this is probably one of the more hopped APAs Canada has to offer. Bitter English style hops mingle with hints of a more citrus hop and a faint herbal/grassiness. A strong malt presence for an APA but not too much so. Bold but not overpowering carb, a slightly too light body.
Pretty drinkable stuff. It's not IPA but that's not what you're expecting from an APA. Balanced, drinkable, good hop profile - what's not to like. Thanks again Brian!
Edit: okay, perhaps a little too malty as we progress here. Just not melding as well as one would hope with the hops. Still a solid brew though.

341ml Bottle
Appearance - Hazy amber/copper colour with a large size frothy beige coloured head. There is a low amount of carbonation showing and there is some good lacing. The head lasted for around 7 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Malts, bread, hops, grapefruits, tangerines
Taste & Mouth - There is an average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts, breads and a decent amount of hops. There are some very light citrus flavours as well (tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit) but its more of a dry woody type of hopped pale ale. It finishes with a malty dry bitter hop aftertaste.
Overall - There is actually quite a bit of hop bitterness going on with this beer. It almost comes across as more of an IPA. I enjoyed the beer more as it warmed up in my glass. Thanks Swedes21

UPDATE: Supahlissa is in to league 1 to defend her title, so I need one more team for league 2 to take Jim's spot.
As I promised, I apologize to all those waiting on my slow ass. As I told TC in the other thread, I'm sorry, I'm a d*ck, my bad. Anyway, below is the list of the leagues. Everyone in bold I have an email for and will be sending out invites this evening. Drafts are still set for this Sunday, but if I get a lot of people saying MOVE IT, I will. Anyway, again, I'm a d*ck.
EMAIL ME at firstname.lastname@example.com if you want in to league 2
Also, I could use some input on the power rankings. For the first 3 weeks, wins and points for should do, but after that, a strength of opponent factor should come in. If you have thoughts on the power ranking formula, post them below.

How to Choose a Bathroom Sink
The bathroom sink that you choose for your family's bath helps to accentuate the overall ambience of your particular decorating style. The bathroom has evolved from more than just a necessary room in the home. The modern bath can be a luxurious oasis, a personal retreat, an escape from the world, or it can be a wonderland of fun for tiny tots playing in mounds of bubbles. No matter what your bathroom means to your family, there is an infinite selection of beautiful and long lasting bathroom sinks for you to choose from on today's market - with choices of styles, sizes, materials, designs, heights, widths, and depths to fit perfectly with what you have always envisioned as your perfect bath.
View all bathroom sinks.
|Bathroom Sink Styles
The bathroom sink is oftentimes referred to as the lavatory or lavatory sink, and can be counter top, wall mounted or wall hung, undercounter, above counter vessel types, pedestal, cast iron, integrated, freestanding, or self-rimming, and more. The bathroom sink that you choose will determine the type of faucet and handles that you can install in the sink, so keep that in mind to assure that your faucet purchase is compatible with your bathroom sink purchase. Let's review the most common installations that you can choose from when creating your perfect bathroom...
Wall Mounted sinks are just what the name implies - mounted to the wall. These are perfect for the bathroom that is limited in space, and allows for you to use the space below the sink as opposed to having a cabinet in that area - freeing up room in tight quarters for a wastebasket, etc. A wall mounted sink can make small bathrooms look bigger, and there are decorative covers available that will hide the drain pipe and plumbing from sight as well.
View All Wall Mounted Bath Sinks.
|Toto Prominence Suite Wall Mount Lavatory Sink
Pedestal bathroom sinks are not only very trendy, but lend a Colonial feel to your bath. Basically, a pedestal bathroom sink features a wall-mounted sink that rests on a pedestal beneath. Again, this is the perfect sink for smaller bathroom because it doesn't require the vanity space of a traditional sink, although you do give up the storage that a vanity type sink affords.
View all bathroom pedestal sinks.
|Self rimming bathroom sinks are oftentimes called drop in sinks or top mount sinks, and are placed directly into a cutout in the top of the bathroom vanity cabinet and secured tightly into place. One type of self-rimming sink is called the tile-in bathroom sink that features tiles that fit over the rim of the sink to create a flush surface. Traditionally, self-rimming sinks are popular among homeowners.

It may surprise you to know that until recently, I had never used a Leuchtturm notebook before. I think they're now up there with Moleskine and Rhodia in the special section of heaven that is just for good quality notebooks, but one had simply never crossed my path until now!
The Leuchtturm notebook I'm reviewing is the new design of the classic notebook, with 80g paper that claims to be ink proof (and therefore fountain pen friendly). Leuchtturm make their notebooks with plain, lined or dotted paper, and all of the pages in the notebook are numbered. I don't need my notebook pages to be numbered as I don't index the information in them, but I appreciate that lots of people do and they probably like this detail.
This notebook is the A6 size, and there is a larger model (~A5) available. They have acid-free paper, a table of contents, perforated and detachable sheets (the small notebook has 8), a back pocket, a ribbon and stickers for labelling the notebook afterwards.
The dots are spaced 5mm apart and are a light grey colour. They're quite faint and unobtrusive, as is the numbering of the pages.
A lot of thought went into the design of this notebook. You can tell that it was made by Germans – there is precision engineering involved!
I was amused to discover when I opened the shrink wrapping on the notebook that you get a teeny tiny postcard in the notebook thanking you for purchasing Leuchtturm. It's a very sweet touch!
There's also a little leaflet (like Moleskine have) explaining why the notebooks are different to normal notebooks, the company's history and other designs in their range.
The notebook has 185 pages and comes in a full range of colours. This notebooks is "cornflower" – it's a muted blue tone. I quite like it. The front cover has no markings on it, whilst the back cover has a discrete Leuchtturm logo embossed on it.
On the inside cover, there's the standard section for you to write your name and address, in case of loss.
I've been quite satisfied with the performance of my fountain pens in the notebook. I've been using the notebook for just over a month now and I've not had any major problems. (Aside: The colour of the paper in the photo above is a truer reflection of the cream pages. The white balance is wrong in the next two photos!)
You can see in the writing sample above that the first three pens perform well without any problems. The fourth pen, my Lamy medium nib with Caran D'Ache Caribbean Sea has the slightest amount of feathering. This ink is a very wet ink, and in recent months I've noticed a few papers struggling with it. I've included a Sharpie test and a pencil test, because they're fun (and mean, since paper rarely passes the Sharpie test!).
As you can see from the photo above, all the writing utensils have a degree of show-through, but there's no bleeding with any of the inks (even the Sharpie!). The show-through isn't enough to make the back of the page un-usable, but if you really don't like marks detracting from a clear page then you might not like this notebook.
I can tell that the paper was designed with fountain pens in mind, as there is no bleed-through and little feathering. However, I wouldn't recommend using this notebook with a wet ink or a wet writer as you may have problems. If I could offer any suggestions to Leuchtturm, I would request that they make the paper 90g, to reduce the likelihood of show-through.
Overall though, I do like this range of notebooks and I think they make good journals. The range of sizes and colours is brilliant, and they win points over Rhodia for the fact that I can have pretty much any colour in the rainbow. The binding feels looser than a Rhodia and more likely to lay flat (please note they don't lay flat from first use though), and it would make a good addition to anyone's notebook collection or pocket!
Have you used a Leuchtturm before?

No doubt we'll be writing a lot more about this film next year and you'll have some time to wait, since it won't be opening stateside for quite a while.
But, in the meantime, Amma Asante's period drama Belle, starring Gubu Mbatha-Raw got a PG rating this week from the MPAA for "thematic elements, some language and brief smoking images."
What those thematic elements are, I have no idea. The language issue is no doubt extremely mild at best, meaning someone probably gets called a "bloody bastard," and, as for the smoking, someone probably takes a couple of puffs on a pipe.
But the PG rating (what would have been a G rating 20 years ago) makes it evident that that the film is likely safe for all ages.
Fox Searchlight will open the film in the U.S. on May 2nd; and it opens a month later in the U.K.
CareyCarey | November 19, 2013 10:32 PM
Thanks Sergio. Off the top of my head, I can't remember if I've seen Gubu Mbatha-Raw's acting? ( I will look her up). However, this film has a nice tone.
As we've seen with the "flood" of slavery themed films ( Django, "12 years", the reboot of "Roots" and to a degree "The Butler") I would like to see this film inspire another on the slippery slope of forbidden interracial love. In particular, since this film (Belle) is supposedly based on a true story, I have another on my radar. It's a book titled Passing Strange: A Gilded Age Tale of Love and Deception Across The Color Line. I haven't read the book (it's on my birthday gift hint-hint list) so in time I may be able to discuss the fine details. But check this out. Clarence King is a hero of nineteenth century western history; a brilliant scientist and witty conversationalist, best-selling author and architect of the great surveys that mapped the West after the Civil War. Secretary of State John Hay named King the best and brightest of his generation. But King hid a secret from his Gilded Age cohorts and prominent family in Newport. For thirteen years he lived a double life as the celebrated white explorer, geologist and writer Clarence King and as a black Pullman porter and steel worker named James Todd. WOW! The fair blue-eyed son of a wealthy China trader passed across the color line, revealing his secret to his black common- law wife, Ada Copeland, only on his deathbed. WOW WOW WOW!
So thanks again and keep us informed on this project.

Flu Shot AlternativesOne alternative to a flu shot is to get FluMist, the nasal spray flu vaccine which is often in good supply even when there are shortages of flu shots. There are some limitations though, including that it can only be given to healthy people from the ages of 2 to 49 years, so that leaves out younger children, the elderly and others at high risk for flu complications. It also can be more expensive than a flu shot and not all insurance companies pay for it, so check with your insurance company and doctor to see if FluMist is a good alternative for you. The price was reduced in recent years, so it may be more affordable for more families.
Since FluMist is thimerosal free, it is also a good alternative for parents who were avoiding getting a flu shot because of worries over its having thimerosal. It still shouldn't be given to kids with egg allergies though.
Antiviral DrugsIn addition to flu immunizations, antiviral drugs can also be used to prevent the flu. These medications include:
- amantadine (Symmetrel)
- rimantadine (Flumadine)
- oseltamivir (Tamiflu)
Other people may just want to take them after being exposed to someone with the flu. For example, if one of your kids is diagnosed with the flu, it might be worthwhile to get a prescription for one of the antiviral drugs for all other household members who didn't get a flu immunization so that they don't catch it too.
Tamiflu and another medication called zanamivir (Relenza), can also be used as a treatment for the flu to 'shorten the time a person infected with influenza feels ill' if they are started within 1-2 days of your becoming sick.
Avoiding the FluThe last alternative, which isn't always practical, is simply trying to avoid people who are sick with the flu. Or at least try and get everyone around you or your child to get vaccinated against the flu. See our guide to Avoiding Getting Sick with the Flu for more information.

Jeff Wilson will teach twp workshops at the Mother Earth News Fair in Seven Springs, PA on September 12-14, 2014. His talks will take place on the Renewable Energy Stage on Sunday and will be broken into two parts.
In The Greened House Effect, author Jeff Wilson brings his twenty-five years of construction experience and knowledge of home building to bear on making our current houses cleaner, greener, and healthier. Think of a deep energy retrofit (DER) as a "home makeover" -- one that represents a significant investment, but that saves money from the get-go by capturing the energy you "drop on the ground" every month, every year, through inefficiency, poor design, or simply living in a typical older home. Using his own family's DER of their 1942 home as a prime example, Wilson weaves a readable narrative at a practical, hammer-and-nail level.

text-increase on web site with Javascript
I'd like to integrate a text increase/decrease feature on my html pages. I researched this and found that the current crop of JS code require the inline use of "font-size:12px" or something similar. My pages all have the font sizes in an external CSS file.
I'm going to use this functionality in an app for the iPhone and Android platforms using HTML, CSS, and JS. I'll abandon it, though, if I have to add the font-size to all my paragraphs across hundreds of pages.
Is there a way to add an external JS file that works on pages where the font size is determined by a CSS file? I want it to work just on my <p> text, so it doesn't have to be elaborate. No cookies on these devices, so it will have to work page by page.
Thanks for any answers.

Latin wasn't going to take Wheaton Academy lightly on Wednesday.
Despite being prohibitive favorites, the Romans were expecting a tough fight on the home floor of an opponent which had beaten them during the regular season.
That's exactly what Latin got. Though they never trailed after the first four minutes, the Romans were never comfortable in eliminating the host Warriors 43-31 in a Class 3A Wheaton Academy Regional semifinal.
"[Wheaton coach] Beth [Mitchell]'s team has really improved if you look at their scores," Latin coach Max Rouse said. "Those kids play hard, so we knew we had to bring it. Fortunately, we were able to handle the pressure enough to pull it out."
Wheaton Academy (9-20), the 14th seed at the Nazareth Sectional, beat Latin 53-42 at the Lisle Cage Classic on Dec. 28, so the fourth-seeded Romans (23-3) were ready for battle.
"In practice we prepared a lot and we watched a lot of their tapes," Latin junior Lizzie Marks said. "We looked over their press, getting prepared for that.
"In the Lisle tournament when we lost to them, we just didn't have our best game. I think tonight we came out a lot stronger."
Marks had a lot to do with that, scoring 10 points and grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds to help Latin control the glass at both ends (the Romans outrebounded Wheaton 43-21).
A driving layup by Marks gave Latin its largest lead, 32-20, with 2:40 left in the third quarter, but the Warriors answered with a 9-0 run to close within 32-29 on a three-pointer by Abby Olson at the 5:35 mark of the fourth quarter.
The Romans, who were rather tentative on offense in the first half, responded with a 9-0 run of their own, with first Bridget Cato and then Marks scoring on two aggressive moves down the lane.
"We've been working on that a lot, in terms of finishing aggressively," Rouse said. "Those kids are the kids who can do it for us."
"One of [Rouse's] mottos is 'fake a pass to make a pass' and also to drive," Marks said. "So I think we tried to fake the jump shot and then we drove past and tried to create options."
Caroline Kaplan scored 10 points, while Alexis Stevenson added nine points and Cato eight points for Latin, which will face Westinghouse in Friday's title game. Jen Costa chipped in six points and nine boards for the winners.
Freshman guard Jamie Netzley had 10 points, five rebounds and five steals for Wheaton, which also received 10 points from senior Katherine Maret.
"Not to make excuses, but we didn't have Ali Grant tonight, who had 16 points when we played them last time, and Jamie was bothered by a sore wrist," Wheaton Academy coach Beth Mitchell said. "We couldn't match their height and they beat us on the boards, but we played them tough and made a run at the end."

These are the hottest 10 pop songs of the week as determined by About Top 40. This chart is compiled consulting data from various music industry charts and sources. It is intended to indicate the hottest rising hits. Recordings that have reached the top 10 of the Billboard Pop 100 chart are disqualified from this chart.
1. Justin Timberlake - Summer Love
Justin Timberlake recently told reporters he can't just focus nonstop on his own music. He says that working with other artists helps recharge his creative batteries. Among his recent projects are 2 songs on Macy Gray's most recent album Big as well as a song on Rihanna's upcoming Good Girl Gone Bad.

The (possible) final season of Dexter and the first season of fixer drama Ray Donovan kick off on June 30th, and Showtime has released a new promo previewing both premieres.
The Dexter material is particularly tantalizing since it's the first glimpse of Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) and Dex (Michael C. Hall) we've had since the fateful events of the season seven finale that left LaGuerta (Lauren Vélez) dead. The promo reveals that Debra is having a hard living with taking her boss's life, while Dex is taking a more stoic approach. "A better person would feel bad about LaGuerta's death, but the truth is it solved all my problems," Dexter says.
Meanwhile, the Ray Donovan portion highlights Ray's (Liev Schreiber) complicated relationship with his recently released from prison father (Jon Voight). Check out the trailer below for a longer look at both series.
Dexter season eight and Ray Donovan premiere Sunday, June 30th beginning at 9PM on Showtime.

Autonomous colleges will start functioning in the state from next year, Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said on Tuesday.
He was inaugurating the zonal conference of Vice-Chancellors of various universities in Kochi on Tuesday.
"Kerala is doing well in the primary education sector. But we are far behind in the higher education sector. Granting autonomous status to colleges is a part of the efforts initiated by the government to rectify this backwardness. The government has decided to start one more technical university in the state," he said.
Minister for Fisheries, Excise and Ports K Babu, who inaugurated the technical sessions at the conference, said the higher education system of India is the third largest in the world, but the country lacks efficient teachers.
"Scarcity of qualified faculty is an issue that needs to be addressed immediately," Babu said.
Agriculture Minister K P Mohanan released the special edition of University News, the official newsletter of the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
The zonal conference is being held as a prelude to the AIU annual conference.
This is one of the fifth zonal meeting of the AIU and heads of 104 universities in the region are expected to attend the Kochi conference, being hosted by the Kerala University of Health Sciences (Kuhas).Issues regarding management of universities in the region will be discussed at the conference.
VCs will also look into the financial issues faced by universities.
Shortage of efficient teachers, below average students, autonomous power for universities and lack of research papers are some of the the major issues being faced by universities.
Suggestions put forward through discussions will be presented at the the 88th annual meet to be conducted at Osmania University, organisers said.

November 30, 1946
For their first road game the Warriors traveled 100 miles north to the Gramercy Park neighborhood in Manhattan where the New York Knickerbockers would host them at the 69th Regiment Armory. The Warriors entered the game with a .500 mark at 3-3 trailing the 9-2 Knicks in the East by 3.5 games. Coach Eddie Gottlieb tinkered with his lineup for the game, returning forward George Senesky to the lineup, replacing Fred Sheffield, whose spot in the backcourt would be taken by Howie Dallmar.
After starting the season at 2-2, the Knicks had reeled off seven consecutive wins, with the most recent coming against Providence in a two-point nail biter. Head coach Neil Cohalan had his charges playing good defense while scoring just enough points to win, having already played four overtime games on the young season. The balanced lineup included Sonny Hertzberg and Hank Rosenstein at the forwards, Bob Cluggish in the middle, Ralph Kaplowitz at one guard position, and Ossie Schectman, returning from a back injury, at the other guard.
In front of 5,219 spectators, the largest to see a Warriors game so far, the visiting Philadelphians took it to the Knicks early, leading by three points after the first period. In the second, the New York defense put a lid on Joe Fulks and his teammates, holding the Warriors to just seven points, and amassing a 24-21 lead at the intermission.
In the third quarter it was more of the same as the Knicks went on scoring tear, running their lead to 11 by the end. They extended their lead to 13 early in the fourth quarter before the Warriors, behind Fulks and Pete Rosenberg, put on a late surge and eventually went ahead 54-53 with 50 seconds to play. In the last furious finish, however, Art Hillhouse fouled Cluggish and the 6-10 center sank his free throw to tie the game at 54, sending the game to eventual overtime.
In the overtime period, the Knicks found the early advantage and made it hold up until Rosenberg closed the margin to two, hitting on a longish set shot with 15 seconds to go. With the Knicks now leading 62-60, Schectman heaved the ball the length of the court to a cherry-picking Kaplowitz who sank the easy lay-up giving New York a 64-60 win.
Despite the loss, Fulks had regained his shooting touch, scoring 26 to lead all players. Reserve forward Tommy Byrnes paced the victors with 17. The Warriors now dropped to fourth place in the six-team division with a 3-4 mark, while the Knicks improved to 10-2, the best mark in the league, just a game ahead of the Washington Capitols in the East.

DirectTV dropping Fox and FX
I don't live in in the NW anymore, so I pay extra for the DirectTV sports package. The package gives me Fox Sports Regional Channels, PrimeTime, Soccer, etc. I hope this change will not alter my viewing of Pac12 games, because the Pac12 media deal is with ESPN and Fox. I will also be losing Fox, which if I remember right is going to show the Pac12 championship game. This change starts November 1st. This is frustrating because I thought they just got it all figured out. I hope this is just strategy by DirectTV or I am going to be pissed.

Driver to Paso on 'Rock Week'
Monday, April 9, 2012 at 5:07PM
It's "Rock Week" and Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd say they're ready to tear it up when they do the paso doble.
Literally meaning "double step" in Spanish, the lively dance is modeled after the sound, feel, and movement of a Spanish bullfight. Driver should excel in this dance.
The duo finished last week in the upper half of the leaderboard and have improved their scores each week.
Monday's "Dancing with the Stars" airs at 8 P.M. Eastern on ABC.

Well, I've seen a lot of Jared Cowen since I'm a season ticket holder for the Chiefs. I can't say I have been impressed with him this season and have been supremely critical of his performance. And I am not the only one.It was unclear whether or not Cowen was back at full strength when he re-joined the team after a crippling knee injury. Since, he's been inconsistent in play. Which is worrisome considering he was named captain. Often, he played with a timidness and was checked by talent a half foot shorter and 50 pounds lighter. He seemed to forget how large he is and to utilize that. There was the disastrous arrangement that saw Cowen playing in a forward position. However he did have his moments of being super effective but that was often lost in all the face palming.
It'd be nice for Cowen to turn it around and put in a solid effort. He phoned in a good chunk of the season which is disappointing for a first round draft pick. Let alone any junior hockey team.
I'd be happy if he proved me wrong. I'm wondering if he went further on media hype rather than skill.

New eBook: Status Epilepticus, Mechanisms and Management
Status Epilepticus, Mechanisms and Management,
Edited by Claude G. Wasterlain and David M. Treiman
Interest in status epilepticus--the most extreme form of epilepsy, involving continuous seizures--has surged in the last 20 years. The book focuses on the two areas in which progress has been most rapid: basic mechanisms and treatment. After an overview of history, classification, and epidemiology, the contributors consider clinical phenomenology, biological markers, pathophysiology, brain damage, epileptogenesis, therapeutic principles, pharmacology, and therapeutic management.
About the Editors:
Claude G. Wasterlain is Chief of the Department of Neurology at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center and Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair of the Department of Neurology at UCLA.
David M. Treiman is Director of the Epilepsy Center at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix.

A Mableton man pleaded guilty to the July 2012 killing of his live-in girlfriend Janice Oates, according to Cobb County District Attorney Vic Reynolds.
Thomas Leonardo Schwartz, 47, also known as Tootsie Roll, entered his plea Monday morning to reduced charges of voluntary manslaughter and aggravated assault.
Schwartz was sentenced to serve 20 years in prison on the manslaughter charge, to be followed by 20 years on the assault charge.
He was sentenced as a recidivist on the manslaughter charge, which means he will have to serve every day of the first 20 years.
Schwartz admitted he shot his girlfriend Janice Oates in the head on the evening of July 7, 2012, at the Mable Street home they shared in Mableton, according to Reynolds.

Nearly one year ago, a Waterloo woman was riding home on her motorcycle when an oncoming car hit her head-on.
It happened on Highway 57, just west of Cedar Falls. The driver of the car didn't stop, leaving Joan Nicholson to die on the side of the road. Fortunately, another driver was behind Nicholson and called 911. Nicholson sustained severe injuries to her body, and lost part of her leg in the crash.
Investigators say the driver, 21-year-old Jennifer Moeller, was texting when she hit Nicholson. Moeller finally turned herself into the Black Hawk County Sheriff's office two months after the crash. In August, she was sentenced to spend five years in jail. But after serving thirty days, a judge released Moeller on probation. She's also required to serve 350 hours of community service -- 80 of which must involve speaking at local schools.
Nicholson has spent the last year recovering from her injuries. She says, she's ready to take on the road ahead, and Nicholson is doing it on two wheels.
"When I'm riding, I don't think... if people don't know me, they don't know. I'll have pants and boots on, so they can't tell," said Nicholson.
What they can't tell, is what it's taken for Nicholson to get back in the saddle. When KWWL reporter Colleen O'Shaughnessy last met with Nicholson, she was in a wheelchair -- not sure when, or if, she'd be walking again. Now, one year after her accident, Nicholson is not only walking -- she's back on the wheels she loves.
"That's what I did before. That was something that I enjoy. Something that brought me a lot of joy. And if I stopped doing it... that's like part of my life is gone. And I refuse to let her take it. She took my leg. She's not taking my life," she explained.
Nicholson thinks about the woman who hit her all the time -- how Moeller's decision to text while driving changed everything.
"I hope she learns from it. I'm not so sure she has yet. Maybe. She spent 30 days in jail. She made a comment in court, said, when she was in jail, it felt like she was an animal. And they treated her like an animal. But they didn't leave her to die on the side of the road like an animal," said Nicholson.
She still has nightmares about the crash, but Nicholson is facing her fears head on. Recently, she met her goal of riding at night.
"Which was huge for me. And that was just three weeks ago," said Nicholson.
There's one place Nicholson has yet to ride, and that's on Highway 57 where the accident happened. She says, she's not sure if she'll ever be able to bring herself to ride on this stretch of road again.
"I don't know if I'll ever go that way on my bike again. I imagine someday I will. It's just kind of freaky," she said.
While her life seems like it's on the right track, Nicholson says there are moments when she asks, why me?
"Some days there's still that little bit, that I want it to be back to the way it was. I want my normal life back. But I have my life. It's just going to be a different normal. It just takes awhile to accept that," she said.
It helps to share her story with others, and possibly prevent another unnecessary crash. This may not be where she pictured her life going, but she has learned a lot about herself, and about life.
"To live each day like you might not have tomorrow. I've been lucky to have this whole year of tomorrows. So, just keep hoping for more," said Nicholson.
She plans to spend as many of those "tomorrows" as possible on the road.
Nicholson is hoping to take her story about the dangers of texting while driving to area high schools. She's also devoting more time to riding with the Patriot Guard, and plans to go on an upcoming Waterloo Honor Flight as a guardian.

For me, it's obvious. Diane Kruger. Noone even comes close.
Christina Aguilera was the best dressed for me, too bad she is not on the pool.
Whatever I voted for Sandra Bullock, she was flawless
I think it is the best Golden Globes lately – so many outstanding gowns!
I like Emily, Diane, Marion, Drew and Maggie, but have voted for Maggie – she's got very good sence of style, really.
Olivia, Diane, Nicole, Drew and Kate were all stunning, but Emily's dress was beautiful and perfect for her hair, perfect for her eyes, perfect for her skin… And the jewels were also perfect! What else? =)
I miss Zoe Saldana and her Louis Vuitton gown… She was the best dressed for me…
But I voted for Sandra Bullock. I think she was such a beauty in this purple Bottega gown…BEAUTIFUL. The hair, the gown, the make up is all perfect for me…
I don't like Diane Kruger pink Lacroix gown. It's too much for me and I don't like that white bow …I also don't like her hair at all…
i'd swap out courtney, cameron and olivia for Chloe Sevigny alone! I Thought she looked amazing and high fashion. Also, Am I the only one having a tough time seeing Victoria Beckham's dresses in the same category as Dior and Versace?
Rose Byrne was my favorite of the night. Since she's not her, I voted for Drew.
I was just watching live on 5 (am still watching it)…anyway Melinda Messenger was saying how bad diane looks and I started laughing… some people!!!…cant think of a time she's ever looked chic, classy or elegant…
I loved Halle, Penelope and Courtney at the GGs so voted for the latter!
John Krasinski and Julia Roberts.
There, I've said it!
Tee hee – I thought they looked adorable on the red carpet and that Julia, while perhaps looked too casual for this event, looked beautiful in a way we haven't seen for some time, so it's all good in my book!
Many of the ladies were on the same par for me last night, maybe cuz i only had the chance to see them in images .. but anyways, i might go olivia, seems im having a girl-crush on her lately
Where's Chloe? She looked magnificent, and would have been my choice.
Diane gets my vote from the provided candidates.
Why isn't Penelope Cruz here? Her black gown was beautiful on her.. especially with her gorgeous tan.
I also voted for Sandra Bullock
I really thought January Jones looked amazing. I disagree with her being on the worst dressed list and would love to see her here. She looked stunning.
Zoe is the best , her dress is unique , do it for her
Anyway i vote for sandra
I agree, Zoe was flawless, bold color, great shape and superb texture.
I voted for Emily.
My number one for the night was January Jones but seeing as she wasnt on the list I voted for Diane as she was a close second. Both so amazing!
Also, I just read on Dita's twitter that she almost wore the pink Laquoix to Cannes last year.
Chloe, Chloe, Chloe!!! She looked incredible and she took a huge risk…. Out of the pool though I would say Drew
I agree about Chloe. I thought she looked magnificent – soft and romantic and just lovely.
My favorite isn't on the list.
And Sandra Bullock? Really? She is entirely too old for that dress, and that dress is entirely too cheap-looking for the Golden Globes.
I really wish that Christina Hendricks had been on the list. For me she was definitely the most put together perfection of the night. Still Diane looked lovely, and that adorable picture of her and Joshua Jackson (holding her umbrella) is just the sweetest red carpet pic I've seen
This is the picture I'm referring to.
Christina Hendricks and Zoe were my favourites for the night…but since they were not on the list, I voted for Drew instead.
Not too sure on Sandra Bullock, it's a nice gown but I don't think she pulled it off well.
AMAZING PENELOPE CRUZ! I don´t know why she is not here!
Emily Blunt and Maggie Gyllenhaal were my faves. But I ended up voting for Maggie. She just looked so chic and fierce.
Diane, followed by Maggie, followed by Sandra. And Nicole looked much better than in recent outings so I gotta give her a gold star.
Just gotta mention Zoe too – clearly you can't please everyone and I do respect your choices, just to say I loved muchly the blood red color of her gown, how great it looked with her skin tone, and the way it stood out from all the pastels and jewel tone purples being worn that evening.
diane for best dressed. followed by maggie and drew.
sandra for worst dressed.
the rest were all nice…….just nice.
I agree with a few of the other commenters – where was Christina Hendricks? Xtina for that matter. Though I'd still pick Diane over Xtina – I would have had more trouble picking between Diane and Christina Hendricks she looked so amazing (always does), and dressing big boobs is a challenge!
Christina Hendricks took my breath away. There were some truly incredible looks this year.
Have to say Chole was my favorite – that gown just floated when she walked and I think not many could pull that off as well as she did – was so unique nothing like anything I had ever seen on the red carpet. Also loved January Jones' dress – from the back was gorgeous – wish she had not made worst!
1. Diane!
2. Nicole! (Imo, this is the best I've seen her in awhile.)
I voted for Diane but I think Meryl Streep looks great too! Who is she wearing?
This is another Laura by the way. lol.
Meryl was wearing a dress designed by Project Runway alum Chris March.
A story and interview with Chris about the dress is here: http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2010/01/19/meryl-streeps-surprising-dress-designer-project-runway-alum-chris-march/
Thanks Laura! LOL
Jayma Mays from Glee wore a Badgley Mischka Resort 2010 and it was pure perfection!
Maggie, Drew, MAggie, Drew.. *sigh* I wish I could've voted twice…
Ended up voting for Drew..
Where is Christina Hendricks, everyone paled compared to her.
If she was not plus size, will she be on this?
Me too! Drew and Maggie were my favourites, they looked incredible! My other top 3 were Chloe, Emily Blunt and Rose Byrne. Fantastic dresses, I love the fresh spring pastels and dreamy fabrics!
Chloe Sevigny was the best dressed for me
Christina Hendricks was the best dressed without a doubt, but as she's not on the list, I'll vote for Kate Winslet.
