1. Establishing the Run Game- The Redskins have to keep that explosive Cowboys offense off the field. You do that by running the ball and controlling the clock. Don't give the son of bitches time to run their stuff! They did that against Arizona and as a result, the Cards never had consistency in their offense. The Boys run defense has been excellent the first two weeks(59.5 yds/gm) so the offensive line has to be on their A game.
2. Blitz- I love that word. It makes me very happy. This is what the Skins need to do and do well. Romo is hurting and the Redskins have to come after this cat. Make him feel some heat. Hall said he would like to get some big hits in on Romo. I hope Haslett obliges him and draws up some exotic blitz packages for the defense. The Boys running game is not strong so expect a pass happy attack. They look to be depleted at WR with Austin out and Bryant hurt, so i think single coverage is doable. The Skins need to take chances and be aggressive against this team. Bend but don't break is too bland for me. I want some pressure on them boys. I want it.
3. Turnovers- Huge. If the Skins had not had those two picks last week. They could have won by more. One Grossman pick stop a potential scoring drive and another pick led to a scoring drive by Arizona(second pick that was not his fault) The Skins have forced 3 turnovers this year. 2 of them were big. There was Kerrigan's pick 6 and then Westbrook forced fumble that ended the Cards last drive. That's the key. Take care of the ball on O and take it away on D. Its a simple concept but it needs to be done every week and the Skins have had trouble with that in recent years. How many game had we seen the Skins lose because of losing the turnover battle? Too many.
4. Red Zone Scoring- When the Skins get in the redzone. They better get 6. This has been a problem for years. The Skins have had a rough time scoring points because they keep settling for field goals. The Skins have never had trouble marching the ball down the field. We have seem them have long drives where everything is clicking. Then they get inside the 20 and we get holding penalties, false start penalties and even worse, weird playcalling. Its crap. The Skins have let so many teams off the hook because they can't finish drives. The Skins can move the ball against any team in this league. They need to have laser like focus when they get down there. The Skins can beat Dallas if they do these things well.
The media ain't giving us a shot. Screw them. I bet you if the Skins win, those bums will jump on our bandwagon so quick they wagon will tip over. HTTR!

Emergency workers here in South Carolina spent Tuesday preparing for disasters like the terror in Boston where 3 were killed over 150 were injured in explosions at the Boston marathon finish line.
The disaster training exercise was scheduled to happen before Mondays events even happened but the Boston bombings did play a big part in how they trained.
A hangar at Columbia Metro Airport is where the state's planes are kept, but now, it's where the state's plans are being practiced for dealing with a mass casualty scenario.
More than 150 people from the military, state and local agencies and 14 regional hospitals are going through two days of training drills.
On Tuesday, the first day, the participants have imaginary patients.
On the second day, two planes will land with actors and mannequins serving as the patients.
Peggy Holt, Medical Reserve Corps - "This has been planned for months, and in view of yesterday's disaster up in Boston, this makes it all the more important for us to be doing drills like this on a regular basis."
Holt says seeing what happened in Boston will have everyone taking this training even more seriously.
Even eerier than the timing of this is the scenario they're working under, and it was decided a year ago as well. A bomb blast at a packed Bank of America stadium in Charlotte.
Under that scenario, some patients are already in hospitals in Charlotte. They would be flown to Columbia so the bombing casualties could be treated in Charlotte.
Jeff Straub is emergency manager for the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System and is running the training, so he saw the Boston bombings from a different perspective.
Straub - "We weren't surprised. It's unfortunate and we hate that anyone was injured, but I think it solidifies why we do these exercises and the importance that it can happen anywhere; Boston, Greenville, Columbia."
The exercise is being done by the National Disaster Medical System.
In real life, that's activated whenever a disaster is so large it overwhelms a local area's ability to respond with enough medical care. In Wednesday's drill, two military transport planes will fly into Columbia's airport.
as Robert said ... Actors and mannequins will be the casualties.
to keep the situation authentic ... The folks going through the training won't know exactly when the planes will land ... Or how many patients they'll have.

HEADS UP: It's Thanksgiving in Canada and Columbus Day in the US... happy respective day to you wherever you are... this means we have day games today, the earliest starting at 1pm EST, so get those lineups in early
I've seen pretty much all of the Habs first two games this year and man does Tomas Plekanec have to carry a big workload... dude plays in all situations (including the point on the PP) and is no doubt the best player on the team (1+2=3 & plus-3 yesterday). He led the Habs forwards in ice-time last year at 20 mpg and he's averaging closer to 23 so far this year.
Nice goal for Max Pacioretty yesterday, I'm really liking him this year but as others have pointed out he'll need to overcome having to play on the Habs 2nd line with Gomez & Gionta. Maybe with Cammalleri out for a bit he'll get a shot on the Plekanec line, that's where he needs to be.
1+1=2 for Yannick Weber yesterday and with a few injuries on the Habs blueline already, he might actually be given a legit shot. I think that's all this kid needs, so keep an eye on him.
David Desharnais with nearly 17 minutes of ice-time (2:35 on the PP) and he had a PPA yesterday... that's a good sign, so I'm telling you again to take a look at this guy.
Not a good start for Ondrej Pavelec in Winnipeg as he gave up five goals on 22 shots in the Jets homecoming. A few of them were sweet shots, not much he could do, but dude needs to be better.
Troubling news here as Evander Kane only played 10:34 for the Jets yesterday... not cool Claude Noel. Something has to give there.
Kris Letang off to a flying start for the Pens with a goal on six shots in 29 minutes last night and that gives him 1+3=4 with points in each of his first three games. I thought he might be a candidate to regress this year after a huge season last year with 50 pts & 101 PIMs but he's looking determined so far.
Devan Dubnyk was the star for the Oilers with 33 saves on 34 shots and all this while the Oilers were shorthanded for over 16 minutes(!) during the game. Not surprised that he got the call for the opening game as Tom Renney has been dropping hints all summer so now we'll see if he comes back with DD in game two or goes with a rotation.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins with a goal in his debut... he lined up with Hall & Hemsky so the Oilers are going to give him a chance to show what he can do before they decide if he'll go back to Red Deer... so far, so good for those of you that are hoping he stays in the league.
Our boy Jay may be on to something here, he's been chirping about Cam Barker all offseason and in the Oilers opening game Barker was 3rd on the team in ice-time (21:16) and led the team with 5:20 on the PP.
Tomas Vokoun is expected to get the start today for the Caps in game two.
Blair Betts is heading back to the Flyers as his waiver claim by the Habs has been voided due to Betts failing his physical. This is a bit of an issue since the Flyers at the 50 contract limit and means they may not be able to keep Sean Couturier beyond 10 games. Man, the Flyers really are the worst team in the league when it comes to managing the cap.
As I speculated when the Rangers cut Tim Erixon, it was just a wake-up call... they sent Brendan Bell down to the AHL and have decided to keep Erixon with the big club.

Maastricht, 2011
Where is Apple taking iMac/OSX towards? Even more life-style computing (to keep this remark a bit friendly).
I think that my next PC (no, not soon, in 2 years or so) most likely will be a Windows machine again.
Windows 7 used at work is running stable and smoothly, which has rebuild some confidence I lost and Apple is heading down a direction I don't like or at least I get no warm feelings about.
Well another month, sorry, 2 months went by…..life is short for sure.
The speakers described below, well I moved in another direction (easier to build) but I'm slowly returning to the concept and design as shown in the posting below. I'm not in a hurry to finish the build, it should be a project I can spend time on, nothing to be done with within a 100 hours or so.
In the meantime…..I sold my camera…..yeah, you guessed it right… I got myself queued up for a Nikon D800….will I be taking better photographs? hell no! but it will sooth my mind :-) Anyway, this looks like a camera I'll stick with for a longer time (sorry nikon), I can't imagine any upgrade into teasing me to upgrade again. More frames/second? no, don't need that. Even more megapixels? no, don't need that. Clean ISO 25600? no, don't need that.
The day before I sold my camera I took it out for a last farewell, well to be honest the daytrip was scheduled well ahead of any D800 announcement. One of the last few photographs:
Margraten, Febr 2012.
There was one little, but annoying, lens flare that I took care of in Photoshop (A 11×17″ print for you if you can tell were).
Played with LR4 Beta and even though it now has soft-proofing I'll stick with Photoshop for now. Aside many other things, the Canon photoshop plugin for printing is just too nice to let go and I can't care much for the LR stuff that comes after 'develop'.

From the Pianist to the Predator
Adrien Brody seeks roles that define truths for him as an actor and a human being
Marshall Fine
From the Print Edition:
Adrien Brody, September/October 2010
(continued from page 2)
Anative of Queens, New York, Brody started acting because his mother, photographer Sylvia Plachy, happened to do a photo shoot at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She thought her adolescent son might have fun taking a teen acting class and hoped it would take him away from the streets, where he was on the verge of getting into the kind of thoughtless trouble that inevitably finds bored teens with too much time on their hands and too little supervision.
"The worst thing I ever did that my parents don't know about?" Brody says, thinking about days of youthful wildness and smiling mysteriously. "I'm not going to tell you so you can put it in a magazine for them to read.
"Trouble was always there in my environment. We were young guys. It was just a lot of that energy that kids in New York have, when being a troublemaker is an attractive thing. You want to rebel, to feel an element of danger. I've never tried to glorify it in discussions, though it's often been misconstrued."
Instead, as a young teen, Brody was enrolled in an acting class. And much to his surprise, he found that he was good at it. More important, his parents took his interest in acting seriously.
"Look, there are two key factors there: First, my parents didn't shut me down or shut me off, even though I was rambunctious," he says. "They had a lot of patience and treated me with respect. I was not made to shut up. And most of my friends I grew up with had a harsh environment to deal with-on the street and at home.
"My imagination wasn't stifled at a young age. And the fact that my mom stumbled across an opportunity for me to do something creative that suited me without having the pressure of a career, was the other thing. I was an actor and she could see it, even if I couldn't."
In fact, he had success quickly, finding an agent and landing a role at 14 in a PBS film, "Home at Last," playing a New York street kid sent to live with a Swedish farm family in Nebraska in the 1800s.
"I was in high school and I went off to Nebraska by myself and I loved it," he says. "I was playing an orphan from the 1800s and I went wild. I hung out with the wranglers' sons and was riding horses and chewing tobacco and having amazing experiences. I remember when it was over, the director kiddingly said that they were going to turn it into a series. I was ready, I didn't want the experience to end."
Instead, Brody came back to New York and went to LaGuardia High School of the Performing Arts and studied, even while continuing to audition for roles.
"I took it very seriously," he says. "I didn't have a tremendous amount of success at first, but I had a lot of discipline."

La Jolla's Bird Rock Community Council appoints new leadership
Upcoming events
■ Streetlight dedication: 4:30 p.m. Jan. 13 (across from Bird Rock Coffee Roasters
■ Bird Rock Home Tour: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 26; tickets: $20
■ Online: birdrockcc.org
By Pat Sherman
The Bird Rock Community Council (BRCC) has found its new president in Jacqueline Bell, a Certified Financial Planner and investment manager who previously served as BRCC's vice president.
"Joe Parker talked me into it — that's my excuse," joked the Harvard graduate of her decision to assume leadership of the 350-member organization.
The BRCC is charged with overseeing a small tax collected from business owners and residents within Bird Rock's maintenance assessment district (MAD) via their property tax bill.
MAD funds are spent on items such as decorative benches, streetlights and other community beautification, as well as dog litter bags and minor infrastructure projects not covered by the city.
"We have so far never had to increase the tax rate at which people pay (into) the MAD and our goal would be to try and keep that at the same level for as long as we possibly can," Bell said.
BRCC membership dues are $35 per year for business owners and residents and include: monthly meetings at Bird Rock Elementary or a local restaurant; a neighbor- hood watch program; a monthly newsletter; a summer picnic and other community and promotional events.
Parker, an attorney who served an extra year of his recent term so that a successor could be found, said he is confident in passing the baton to Bell.
"She's smart, capable and has the passion to continue the mission of the BRCC," said Parker, who has served a total of five years as president, and vowed to help make the transition smooth.
"I am grateful for the tremendous experience and opportunity to work with such outstanding board mem- bers and volunteers," he said.
Also joining BRCC's volunteer board of directors are Jim Ragsdale, Noel Ehlers, Greg Wadsworth and Jeff Williams. The community elects board members for two-year terms, and the BRCC board elects officers.
Departing from the board after one term are Roni Lincoln and Lynn Reineman. Michelle Fulks, who is taking leave after eight years on the board, will continue to chair BRCC's annual home tour, which will take place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 26.
Also next month will be a dedication ceremony to commemorate the new median streetlights on La Jolla Boulevard, 4:30 p.m. Jan. 13 across from Bird Rock Coffee Roasters.
A plaque honoring late BRCC member George Sutton will be affixed to a light pole there in his memory.
"We've got a couple lights not functioning there, which we hope to have fixed before the dedication," Bell said.
In 2013, BRCC will also replace roundabout and median landscaping along La Jolla Boulevard with heartier plants that are more resistant to trampling by wayward humans and vehicles, and dogs relieving themselves, Bell said.
BRCC has also redesigned its website, birdrock.org. The site includes a regularly updated community calendar and an area where people can renew memberships.
"We really want to try and use that more as a means of communication with our neighbors and friends moving forward," Bell said. "It was kind of static for a long time. … In conjunction with that we are hoping to get a membership card discount program off the ground, so all our members can (enjoy) a tangible benefit of belonging to the Bird Rock Community Council.
"It's also a way to incentivize people to support our local merchants and shop locally," she said.

Toledo City Council President Joe McNamara has announced he will step down as council president. This comes about a week after he announced he would be running for Mayor of Toledo.
The Democrat said in a statement that he enjoyed serving as council president, but said he would not allow the Mayor's race to cloud council's ability to work with the administration.
Mayor Mike Bell's administration released a statement in response to McNamara's resignation: "The legislative body has the opportunity and responsibility to choose their leadership. The administration will continue to work on behalf of our citizens with whomever council selects to serve as president, as we have since the Mayor took office."
McNamara will remain as an at-large member of council. His resignation as president will officially happen at the council's February 19 meeting.
New software will allow radar to scan storms near ground every 2 minutes instead of 4.

In order to remind drivers of their responsibility to pull over when emergency responders are active on the roads, Respondersafety.com, a website dedicated to protecting emergency responders at roadway incidents, has created a public service announcement to spread their message.
According to the Justice Department, more law enforcement officers die each year in traffic incidents than from any other cause, including shootings. Many of these deaths reportedly occur on the roadside as officers perform their duties.
This public service announcement reminds drives to slow down and move over when they see a public safety responder on the side of the road. The video was produced with funding from the National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice, the United States Fire Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

Who knew the "average guy" would be so popular?
Spike TV is advertising its channel as "the only place you can actually see Roy Nelson fight" on Fri., Sept. 14, 2012. That may be true, but FX is the only place you can actually see him coach. Would you rather watch "Big Country" fight Kimbo Slice on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 10 -- or coach against Shane Carwin on TUF 16?
From the official release:
At 8:00 PM, Spike will present an encore telecast of Nelson's fight with Kimbo Slice from "The Ultimate Fighter 10" which was seen by a staggering 6.1 million viewers.
At 9:00 PM, the network will re-broadcast the "The Ultimate Fighter 10" finale fight card, including Nelson's triumphant victory over Brendan Schaub. The event also featured current UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones vs. Matt Hamill, Frankie Edgar vs. Matt Veach, and the controversial Kimbo Slice against Houston Alexander. The broadcast delivered 5.2 million viewers that evening, a record for a TUF finale.
That block of content counter-programs TUF 16, which runs from 9-11 p.m. ET on FX.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) headed for greener pastures on the FOX network (including FX and FUEL TV) after Spike balked at ZUFFA's increased licensing fees during contract negotiations early last year. As expected, the cable television network continues to take full advantage of its licensing rights to the UFC tape library -- directly opposite TUF 16 in this instance -- in an attempt to lure away the casual fan who might not know any better.
Are you one of them?

I don't know about anyone else but I have been awfully sick of Joe Rogans one sided commentating and Goldies useless little comments for a while. Last night Kenny and Jon did and awesome job, and i wouldn't mind seeing them on more major event rather then just FX and Fuel. Jon's professionalism when entering the ring for post fight interviews is exactly what the sport needs at every event moving forward. Watching Rogan harass Yamasaki over his DQ call of Erik Silva was embarrassing for the UFC and the fans. No other major sporting organization would a ref and a commentator get into a discussion like that. Whether it was a poor call or not by Yamasaki, Rogan did an awful job dealing with the situation.
Also Aniks interview with Dana was so much smoother and sounded great. It seemed like an interview you would see on Sunday night football, or NBA on TNT. When Rogan is on the mic for live interviews you get a sense of nervousness and unprofessionalism.
What do you think maniacs would you rather see Anik or Rogan get the brunt of commentating duties in the future?

The Arnold Arboretum offers paid internships that combine hands-on training in horticulture with educational classes. The internships offer the opportunity to work directly within an historic landscape and its world-renowned scientific collection of trees and shrubs. Interns are accepted for 12- to 14-week appointments with the exception of a limited number of longer-term (18- to 24-week) appointments based on funding.
As part of the training program, interns work alongside professional staff in the Grounds Maintenance and Greenhouse departments. Interns participate in instructional sessions and field trips in order to develop a broader sense of the Arboretum's horticultural practices. Interns are encouraged to share their experience and knowledge and to participate fully in the work of the institution. Over the course of the summer, interns work in groups to address a real landscape management issue and present their proposal to their peers and Arboretum staff.
Internships are available in the following departments:
Grounds Maintenance
Our living collections include many mature shrubs and trees planted over large expanses of grass and meadow. Working with the permanent grounds maintenance staff, summer interns weed, mulch, mow, plant, prune, and perform other horticultural tasks. They also participate in landscape renovation and/or hardscape projects as needed. "Grounds" interns rotate through various collections and gardens within the landscape. In addition, all ten spend some time with the arborist crew to focus on pruning skills, bucket-truck operation, chainsaw use, and tree climbing.
Dana Greenhouses
Staff members at the Dana Greenhouses propagate and grow the plant material that is eventually planted out onto the grounds of the Arnold Arboretum. They also raise a variety of plants for distribution. Greenhouse interns are introduced to the nursery and greenhouse production cycle and assist in watering, weeding, mulching, potting, and other jobs as required. The work varies from physical labor to technical work, with emphasis on proper growing methods. This internship also gives an overview of our accessioning and plant inventory process, including an introduction to BG-BASE™ Collections Management Software. Applicants should have some experience in woody plant propagation and/or greenhouse operations.
Interns selected for the Isabella Welles Hunnewell Internship Program are expected to participate fully in the work-life of the institution with maturity, punctuality, curiosity, and commitment to learning. Preference will be given to candidates who have at least some of the following qualifications.
To apply, review our internship Code of Conduct and download our application. Please send your completed applications by email or mail to:

Huntsville, AL (WHNT) - Liquor laws in Alabama which have their roots in the prohibition era need to be changed, so says a state lawmaker.
In Alabama, the government has a monopoly on hard liquor sales. But, a new legislation is aimed at changing that.
Senator Orr says, "This is something we're going to be looking at and are looking at the legislative level."
Prohibition may have died decades ago, but some of its lingering effects are still alive today in Alabama, one of eight states that maintain a government monopoly on hard liquor sales.
"Preliminary estimates say that we could save as much as 40 or 50 million dollars if we got out of the retail business," Orr explains.
State Senator Arthur Orr is drafting legislation that would close down the retail side of Alabama's alcohol beverage control board, a cost-cutting move that could save taxpayers tens of millions. State law currently prohibits private businesses from selling hard liquor unless they buy their supplies from the ABC Wholesale division, which also runs hundreds of retail locations from Muscle Shoals to Mobile. Orr's plan would close down those ABC stores, and eliminate the one-dealer system businesses currently abide by.
Orr says, "One of the things we'll have to consider as we look at getting out of the retail business is the impact on those employees now, but that's just part of the equation...Most of the other states have done it, pulling out of the control business, at least at the retail level."
Senator Orr says his legislation will also put a limit on the number of liquor stores able to operate in a given area.

A Lehigh Acres teen was killed in a car accident early Sunday morning.
Richard Lee McCray, 18, was traveling eastbound on Kittyhawk Drive, when authorities say his GMC pickup truck swerved to the right and partially left the roadway. The truck entered the shoulder and rotated clockwise before striking a tree and overturning onto its left side.
Pam Clay lives nearby. She heard the crash and called 911.
"I heard a crash. I thought they had hit the house so I ran out of the house and seen people run into the road and heard someone holler to call 911," she says.
The collision caused McCray to be partially ejected between the truck and the tree.
"He was hanging out of the vehicle and all I could see was his back and his head hanging down," Clay said.
The passenger in the truck, 16-year-old Randall Lawrence McCray, did not suffer any injuries.
According to the report, Richard McCray was not wearing a seatbelt. It has not yet been determined if alcohol was a factor.
Friends of the family say a memorial is scheduled for Thursday at Jackpot Junction on Lee Boulevard.

(National-NBC) April 19, 2005 - Juliann Keiper doesn't like blood tests. Like many, she has hard-to-find veins, "I can't stand them poking around my arm trying to find my veins."
Wouldn't it be nice if the nurse had X-ray vision where she could see your veins with the naked eye?
Breakthrough technology uses infrared light to make blood look darker and all other tissue lighter. Roxanne Bischofberger is a cardiovascular technician and says the contrast makes vein access easier and less painful, "With the use of the Vein Viewer and its ability to image, capture an image of the vein and project it on the surface of the skin like a road map, you are sticking the patient once."
Vein Viewer inventor Herbert Zeman says cutting down on the number of needle sticks is very important, "Especially for pediatric patients, over 50% of pediatric patients have very hard-to-find veins."
Time magazine named Zeman's Vein Viewer the coolest invention of 2004. Luminetx CEO James Phillips says the device could be it available early next year, "We're in the process of literally cueing up a number of the top medical institutions and physicians around the world to receive the product."
The Vein Viewer could have other uses down the road in vascular surgery and in the treatment of spider veins and varicose veins.

I think it might be time for us to start looking at new uniforms. That seemed to get us over the Super Bowl hump last time. What ever design we use it should be intimidating to the oposition and give us a true advantage. Here are my design thoughts
The uniform should make Eddie Royal look 6'3.
slippery enough to enable Ryan Clady to not allow one sack. Whoops we already have that with 1/2 a sack
The new uniforms should make 30 second commercials seem like 15. HDR's are the best!
Allow Hillis to run a 4.2 40 yard dash in wet conditions .
Enable us to be on national television every week. This would save me my NFL ticket money
The uniforms will need to create enough buzz that I won't have to listen to those two idiots on the NFL Network talk at half-time.
They need to change colors as the game wears on. Broncos Orange Crush if we are doing well. Pink if we are loosing to the faiders or chiefs.
Let me know what you want to see in the new uniforms

Packing Checklist
Arriving at your destination and discovering you forgot something can be annoying or even dangerous. Don't let that happen! Keep a packing checklist handy so you never forget something important before leaving on vacation again.
A packing checklist is a foolproof way to protect yourself from forgetting something you'll need. When you're packing, you probably remember to pack clothes, socks, and maybe even something to read on the plane. But a packing list will make sure you don't forget the small stuff; your toothbrush, floss, or even important medicine that might slip your mind when packing.
Crafting the Perfect Packing Checklist
The simple act of making a packing list might help you remember something you may need on your next vacation. Making a list forces you to think things through and improves your planning skills. Maybe you already knew you have to bring a cell phone charger with you, but writing it down on a packing checklist made you remember that you also need a power converter or a charger for your other electronic devices. Planning your packing checklist out in advance might also make you realize that you need more luggage.
Make your packing list even more productive by breaking it up into sections. Make a section in your packing checklist for clothes, both casual and formal. Add a section for your toiletries and travel aids, your personal documents, and any adapters or computer accessories you might bring along as well. Check off items when you pack them; that way you'll be sure that everything you've put on your packing checklist is safely packed and ready to go.
Include the Kiddos
If you have kids, you should have them plan their own packing lists and then look them over. Not only will it help to make sure they don't forget anything either, but it can also be an important exercise in responsibility for them. Everyone is excited before going on vacation, children more so, and they're more apt to forget something they might need. Having them prepare a packing list can help ensure that there will be no upset children crying over forgetting their favorite toy or electronic gadget.
Proper preparation is paramount in planning your vacation. There's no such thing as planning too much, especially before going on a trip, and a preparing a well-made packing checklist is just another step you should take so you can have the best vacation possible.

Ladies raise a glass for this news! A new study has found that women who consume moderate amounts of alcohol may reduce the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. The study of 34,141 Swedish women by the Stockholm-based Karolinska Institute found that women who regularly consume more than three alcoholic drinks a week for at least 1O years have about half the risk of developing arthritis compared with non-drinkers. The reduced risk was consistent whether the participants drank beer, wine or liquor. The results, published recently in the British Medical Journal, add to other studies that have observed positive effects of moderate drinking. "These results are in accordance with the inverse association between moderate alcohol consumption and risk of cardiovascular disease and add to the evidence that moderate alcohol consumption is not harmful," the Swedish study authors wrote in their report.
The researchers collected information about the study participants' drinking, diet, smoking history, physical activity and education level in 1987 and again in 2OO7. The subjects, born between 1914 and 1948, were tracked for seven years from 2OO3 through 2OO9. The effect on risk of arthritis may be explained by alcohol's ability to lower the body's immune response, as rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the cells that line the joints, the authors said. The researchers said they weren't able to evaluate the effect of high doses of alcohol on risk of arthritis because of the lack of heavy drinking participants.

Disconcerting symptoms in my ten year old niece who is here visiting myself and her granny.
The following started two days ago after playing in high temps:
Paroxysmal nystagmus (bilateral), lasting one second. Complains of headaches in R occiput after the episodes.
Began with one epsisode, and her dad tells me has increase to app. four to five episodes today.
No other neuro S/S or deficits that I can determine, aside from the post-episode HA's.
Went to walk-in clinic last night. They said not concerned, and did not give any instructions for further follow up. Hmmmmm...???
I have no access at the moment to do a little digging on-line.
Pediatrics (or eyeballs) are not my gig, but I told her dad to get her to an opthalmologist in short order.
Anyone have any clues?

Prep students start classes for first time
MORE than 75,600 preps across the state will start school this week, with a number of students into their second day of classes.
Preps at St Therese's Primary School, Golden Square Primary School, Lightning Reef Primary School and Spring Gully Primary School started school yesterday.
Prep classes at Bendigo Primary School, Kennington Primary School, White Hills Primary School and St Kilian's Primary School start today.
St Therese's Primary School principal Matthew Mann said he looked forward to the start of the school year.
Mr Mann said while he started back at work last week, the school grounds were not the same without the students.
"It's great to have the students back," he said.
"The atmosphere is different when the students are (at school).
It's great to have the students back.
"Although I get a lot more work done (when they are not at school)."
Mr Mann said 78 preps had enrolled at the school this year - the largest number in the history of the school.
He said the school's capacity was full, with 10 preps on the waiting list.
Golden Square Primary School principal Barry Goode said about 42 preps started school yesterday - a figure slightly lower than normal.
"We find we have an on year and then an off year," he said.
"This is because families tend to have children every two years.
"The prep number is pretty good for an off year (this year), considering we would usually get around 50 to 53 preps."
Mr Goode said the prep students had been partnered with a grade 5 or 6 buddy, who would provide them with support in and around the school grounds.
More than 890,600 students will attend a Victorian school this year, with 562,900 of those pupils starting at a State government school.
The preps are not the only ones starting school this week, with about 2500 graduate teachers working in classrooms around the state since Monday.

Authorities arrested a man near Casa Grande following a shooting that involved a Pinal County Sheriff's Deputy.
A woman called police around 1 a.m. on September 18 to report her husband had been drinking heavily for a few days, and then they got in a verbal argument. She said her husband twisted her arm behind her back and pushed her into the bed. She left the bedroom and when she returned, he pointed a shotgun in her direction and grabbed her but she was able to get away, police said.
Her husband, later identified as 41-year-old Scott McCreery, went into the backyard by himself and turned off the lights. The wife said she heard a gunshot and saw McCreery slumped over in a chair and assumed he had killed himself, according to a news release.
That's when she went back into the residence, grabbed her 8-year-old son and called police.
While leaving, she saw McCreery inside the residence on the living room floor.
Deputies responded to the scene in the 9500 block of W. Desert Mountain Drive and yelled for McCreery to exit.
He exited the home while armed and police said he refused to drop the handgun, despite numerous commands to do so. He pointed the gun at one deputy, which prompted the deputy to fire two rounds at McCreery, injuring his right ear.
McCreery returned into his residence, refused to come out and threw his handgun in the front yard.
The PCSO SWAT team arrived on scene and took McCreery into custody. He was treated at a local hospital for his gunshot wound before being booked into the Pinal County Adult Detention Center for aggravated assault, aggravated assault domestic violence involving a handgun, and aggravated assault on a police officer.
"We are fortunate for the outcome of this case and the fact our deputy will be able to return to duty and spend time with his family because of his quick actions during this deadly threat," Sheriff Paul Babeu stated in a news release. "Now Scott McCreery will face the judicial system as a result of his decision to assault his wife and point a handgun at a deputy."

A Memphis City Council Member said the Wharton administration could reallocate money to finish a delayed street project in a Whitehaven neighborhood. A sewer and road project on Fairley Road has been on hold for months because of funding issues.
"When you have a project like that, that's so important to that community, that's been delayed for this long, it's almost embarrassing," City Council Member Harold Collins said.
Fairley Road is a mess. The road is torn up, unfinished sewer work lines the street and a large piece of equipment is sitting on private property.
"I don't get the point. I don't know, these guys came out here and did a little something and they left," Fairley Road resident James Johnson said.
A City official told Fox 13 News the project was put on hold because estimates for the next phase came in higher than expected. The money to finish the project is included in next year's budget which is still being considered by the City Council. But Councilman Collins said the project could be made a top priority.
"I assure you if council members know that that project was delayed that long we would have done something about it," Collins added.
Collins is also questioning whether the city is taking care of areas like Whitehaven.
"We've been consistently neglecting what I call the inner city and providing core essentials, that is sidewalks, streets, and safety and if we're not doing that in the core city and we're using resources for other places, I think there needs to be an evaluation of all of that," Collins said.

In typical "why me?" fashion, for some reason, they posted three of the same video clips of me which have two with no audio and one with choppy audio. I uploaded the same clip onto You Tube and it works fine so I posted it on the same above linked page in case you want to hear the full package.

Cray catastrophe at Kingstonian
6:59am Sunday 10th February 2013 in Sport By Jerry Dowlen
Cray Wanderers crashed to a catastrophic 9-3 defeat at Kingstonian - the first time since 1966 that the Wands have conceded nine goals in a game.
Depleted by recent departures of players and by injuries and suspensions, the Wands made a competitive start versus Kingstonian before conceding on 31 minutes.
Two goals at the very end of the first half put the home side in command, but after it went to 4-0 in the 50th minute Cray boldly fought back to make the score 4-2 with goals from Danny Phillips and Leigh Bremner (penalty) in the 53rd and 66th minutes.
But the remainder of the game turned into a disaster for Cray who had Michael Power carried off injured, and the powerful Ks forward line put five more goals past a depleted Cray defence.
Chris Saunders scored Cray's third goal in the 71st minute.
Six weeks ago, a full-strength Cray side showed their calibre with a 1-0 away win at top of the table Margate, but alarm bells are ringing after no win since then, and most lately two very heavy defeats against Enfield Town and Kingstonian.
Cray are at home to East Thurrock United on Tuesday (7.45pm)

(AP) Stanford remains No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll for the sixth straight week, matching the team's longest run in the top spot. The Cardinal had 24 first-place votes Monday, while Connecticut received 14. Baylor got the other two. UConn will visit Stanford on Saturday, trying to snap the Cardinal's 82-game home winning streak. Stanford, which beat South Carolina and Tennessee on the road last week, was No. 1 for six weeks in 1996. Duke and Notre Dame round out the first five. The Irish are followed by Georgia, Kentucky, California and Maryland, as the top nine teams remain unchanged. Tennessee fell three spots from No. 10 after losing to Baylor and Stanford. UCLA had the biggest drop, falling five spots to 17th after losing to Cal State Northridge. Arkansas entered the poll at No. 25 as West Virginia fell out.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press.

so Desean Jackson was benched Sunday, apparently because of his attitude throughout the season, missing meetings, complaining about his contract, et al.
from the looks of it, Philly may be parting ways with DJax, who is a free agent at the end of this season -- Philly's FO "won" his preseason holdout; and according to an article i just read, there was a deadline last Monday that, had they signed an extension prior to it, would have allowed a portion of his contract to be applied to this year's salary cap. and clearly, there is bitterness on both sides.
in other words, DJax may test the FA market.
which begs the question... should the Vikes consider themselves suitors...??
i'm a bit torn -- as much as i don't like Jackson's potential of being a locker room cancer, pairing him alongside Percy would make for an unbelievable WR corps. likewise, pursuing DJax would solve a huge whole at WR, thus allowing us to use our top draft picks on other areas of need. cutting some more dead weight in the offseason to free up some cap space could put us in a very good position to land Jackson via free agency.
of course, i think there's better than a 50% chance Philly and DeSean will "make up" after all is said and done, and come to an agreement before the FA market opens. but at this point, it's at least fun to speculate.
what say you??

Working with Paula Deen, it's easy (and contagious) to share a love of food. Collard greens, cornbread, and sweet tea have been staples around here, so when it came time to introducing solids to my youngin', I figured it would be a breeze. Certainly she'd share my love of food too, right? It wasn't until I talked to other moms that I realized it is easier said than done to get a lot of kids to eat their veggies. I either heard enthusiasm or despair from these other mamas about their healthy eaters (or lack thereof). It was at that moment that I set out on a mission to feed Naomi (Omi for short) anything and everything fruits and veggies that I could get my hands on. Appropriately enough, she's been dubbed our little "Omivore" because of it. She gobbles up anything and everything we make for her and is now a lover of most things green! Rutabagas seem to be her only form of aversion so far, and I don't blame her a bit for that! I've tried my best to provide healthy foods from the start, and I've come up with a list of 8 simple steps that will help parents provide healthier meals to their children from the start.
1. Start when he/she is ready – just because your neighbor's baby started eating rice cereal at five months old, does not necessarily mean your child may be ready at that age. Some babies aren't ready until they are teething or closer to age one. Don't be pushy, and try to wait for a good time of day (like right after a nap) when your child is more willing and alert to try something new.
2. Switch it up – variety, variety, variety. Sticking with the rice cereal idea, some babies simply don't prefer it. There are other light cereals on the market (like oats or barley) to mix with milk and/or fruit, but be on the watch for allergies. It's a good idea to start with one or two foods for a few days before incorporating others to see if an allergy is present. Banana and avocado are excellent starter foods too and can be mixed together to pack in lots of nutrients at once.
3. Keep trying – what your child may not like today may be a favorite tomorrow. Don't despair if he doesn't like the meal you spent hours preparing (it's hard not to though – I know!). Save that meal for a rainy day ahead – he may just surprise you!
4. Listen and connect – if he's just not into it, go back to variety and think of what he's liked in the past and have fun with it. Pudding or yogurt on the tray, squishing avocado with his fingers, and other ways of experimenting with his food is fun and educational. In the early stages, babies are not only learning that food tastes good, but they are learning what food looks, smells, and feels like too.
5. Make cooking/eating fun – not only can you let your child have fun with his food, but you can also encourage a "big helper" in the kitchen. Banging and clanking pots and pans are excellent ways to encourage children to enjoy the cooking process. Teach him about what he's doing like stirring with a spoon, and pretend to taste what he's "prepared." If you are involved and excited about it, chances are he will be too.
I also find it rather important to NOT use food as a reward, punishment, or threat. Instead, I want Naomi to overhear me talking about what a good eater she is and how proud I am of her so that she will link the positive vibes with food rather than the negative.
6. Sit down as a family – Sitting down together teaches children that there is a significant connection made through food that's special and nurturing.
7. Spice it up – Don't be afraid to use them, but do try to use minimally. For instance, I've never liked squash without seasoning (too drab for me), but a little salt and pepper (and a smidgen of butter) can make all the difference. Same goes for collard greens or kale – a little bit of seasoning (like garlic) goes a long way. Favorite seasonings at our house are Paula's House Seasoning and all of The Deen Bros. Spices (especially the Funky Chicken spice!). Lemon juice is a good alternative to salt as well.
8. Prepare well-balanced meals – the darker the fruits or veggies, the better they are for you! Dark leafy veggies, foods rich in omega-3s (like salmon and avocado), beans and legumes, fruits, and a good protein are great to incorporate at every meal. These "power foods" pack a mean punch of vitamins, antioxidants, and other nutrients vital for our well-being. These health benefits include warding off illnesses and strengthening bones and immune systems. These foods are intended to be eaten for the dynamic nutrients they provide. If we eat them at home and model this positive behavior for our children, our kids will learn to eat and appreciate the food that we not only provide but that we eat as well.
Below, I've listed a favorite recipe from our house that carries lots of nutrients and is oh-so-delicious! Hope you enjoy!
Veggie Lasagna: Even my meat-eater of a husband enjoys this dish (without the meat)!
-10 lasagna noodles
-1/2 C chopped onion
-1 garlic clove, minced
-1 Tbs. olive oil
-1 C grated raw carrots
-2 C sliced fresh mushrooms
-1 15oz. can tomato sauce
-1 6oz. can tomato paste
-1/2 C ripe olives, black or green
-1 ½ tsp. dried oregano
-2 C cream style cottage cheese
-2 10oz. pkg. frozen spinach, thawed and drained. Or use fresh!
-1 lb. sliced Monterey Jack cheese
-1/4 C Parmesan cheese
- Cook noodles – 8-10 minutes, drain. Spread noodles on towel.
-Sautee onion and garlic in olive oil, add carrots and mushrooms. Cook until tender (about 4 mins.). Stir in tomato sauce, paste, olives, and oregano.
-Oil 9x13" pan. Heat oven to 375.
- Layer ½ noodles, then cottage cheese, followed by spinach, then sauce and vegetable mixture. Top with 1/3 of Monterey Jack cheese.
- Repeat layers, topping with remaining 2/3 cheese.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan.
- Bake 30 minutes, or until melted and bubbly.
- Let rest 10 minutes before cutting, and enjoy!
**In the picture above, Naomi snacks on a quick favorite around here: banana slices with natural peanut butter and blueberries on top. Organic, low-sugar yogurt is a good alternative to peanut butter if an allergy is present.

"I'm Too Scared to Go Back to Work"
The Counselor's Turn
"Jan didn't realize it when the couple started therapy, but she was lost both emotionally and intellectually because she didn't have a career. She blamed her unhappiness on fears about Scott's health, his dismissive attitude, and their conflicts over her going back to work. But over the years her self-esteem had plummeted. In order to restore it, Jan needed to rejoin her profession. Once she felt better about herself, I was confident that her anxiety would subside and she and Scott would communicate better.
"Jan refused to believe she could be a good mother and a good doctor. My job was to help her understand that she could succeed in both roles -- and that her family did not have to take a backseat to her profession. 'You'll be a happier and more interesting person if you have your own life, too. And you'll have more to offer your family.'
"Jan broke down when I raised the subject of her returning to medicine. 'I know I should work in case Scott dies, but I'm afraid I'll fail,' she said, sobbing. 'And who'll run the family while I'm studying and working? I don't see how I can do it.' I pointed out that she had a long history of academic and professional success and that, with her children getting older, this was an ideal time to launch the next phase of her life. 'It's okay to be nervous,' I said. 'But it's not okay to let nervousness paralyze you.'
"I encouraged Jan to view going back to work as a project she could break into small pieces, such as taking one course at a time. Using that framework, she enrolled in a course on new trends in endocrinology with the intention of going back to work part-time next year, when both girls are in high school. To make time for the class, she scaled back the kids' activities and reduced her volunteer work. Scott now takes the kids to school. 'It's great not to feel constantly pressured to get somewhere,' Jan said.
"Next we addressed Jan's anxiety about Scott's health. 'You can't just sit around terrified he'll die,' I said gently. 'Scott is doing everything he can to stay alive. The only thing you can control is your attitude, so think positively -- and go skiing.'
"The couple also improved their communication. Instead of bottling up her feelings until she flew into a rage, Jan learned to say, 'I'm upset about XYZ. Can we set aside a time to discuss it?' Scott admitted that he often dismissed Jan's concerns with a sharp remark. I urged him to ask himself two questions before responding: 'Is it worth fighting about? Or does it make more sense to acknowledge Jan's perspective, reassure her, and give her a hug?' Scott put this advice into practice and almost immediately the couple's day-to-day interaction became smoother.
"The lack of a social life also hurt Jan and Scott's relationship. At my urging, Jan asked a few mothers she knew for recommendations for reliable babysitters and now the couple go out every Saturday night. 'Having dinner together makes me feel closer to Scott,' Jan said. 'And that seems to have kick-started my sex drive.'
"Over the next year the couple's marriage improved steadily. Jan signed up for another class and will take the recertification exam this year. She also changed her hair and bought new clothes. And the family recently took a ski trip. 'I feel so much better about myself,' Jan said, 'and I'm much more relaxed because I'm not obsessing over Scott's health or whether the kids have done their homework.'
"'I love seeing Jan smile again,' Scott said. 'She's back to being the girl I fell in love with.'"
