Thanks to the combined efforts of the Town of Oyster Bay, Friends of the Bay and a dedicated corps of volunteers from the local community who worked together for the 24th International Coastal Cleanup, the beaches and bays of Oyster Bay are now much cleaner.
Members of the Junior Coalition of Friends of the Bay, students from East Woods School and Girl Scouts swarmed on Roosevelt and Beekman Beach, eager to help the environment. The Cub Scouts worked at Sagamore Hill National Historic Site. Since the 26th of September was also National Public Lands Day, this was especially fitting. Students from Westbury Friends School took care of the beach at Centre Island.
"I was especially glad to see such a large turnout of students, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts," said Patricia Aitken, Friends of the Bay acting director. "Young people are a powerful force for change. Most marine debris, such as cigarettes, water bottles and fast food wrappers is entirely preventable. By simply becoming more aware of how garbage is disposed of, by being more mindful of litter, or by using recyclable containers, individuals can have a powerful positive impact on the marine environment."
Other volunteers headed out in boats onto the water to beaches on Centre Island to remove trash that had washed up there during the summer months.
WaterFront Center Board Members Dave Relyea , Jamie Deming, Dave McLaughlin and Larry Schmidlapp headed off to clean up the beaches on the eastern shore of Centre Island near Seawanhaka Yacht Club. Jamie Deming, the WaterFront Center board president expressed her feelings that "the clean-up is an enjoyable activity, especially given the broad participation and camaraderie. I'm happy to have been a part of it with three other members of the WaterFront Center board. Friends of the Bay, led by Acting Director Pat Aitken, and accompanied by Board Member Barry Lamb and volunteers Hank Kasven and Rob Brusca, were right next to them, cleaning the area around Moses Point.
Another team from Sagamore Yacht Club headed off to Turtle Cove and the West Harbor.
There is strong community support for maintaining the health of our harbor – thanks are also due to Mitch Kramer of Tow Boat US, the underwater dive team of the Altantic Steamers Fire Department (their "catch of the day" this year was a shopping cart), the Oyster Bay Power Squadron, Oyster Bay Anglers, Sagamore Yacht Club and the many individuals who came to lend a hand. The Oyster Bay Marine Center celebrates the Coastal Cleanup every day – they make sure the marshes and harbor area around the marina is always clean and free of debris. The Town of Oyster Bay provided logistical support, including assistance in collecting the debris, providing garbage bags, logistics and assistance at the sign-in table. Commissioner Neil Bergin, Town Council Members Chris Coschignano and Beth Faughan, as well as Receiver of Taxes James Stefanich all came to lend a hand.
Data sheets detailing the types and quantities of marine debris collected were handed out to each team of volunteers. This information will be compiled and sent to The Ocean Conservancy, which will produce a report which is the world's only state-by-state and country-by-country breakdown of the amount and type of trash in the ocean and waterways collected on just one day. This report also zeroes in on the startling impacts of ocean trash on wildlife and its connection to the challenge of global climate change. Along with the report's recommendations, the Marine Debris Index provides a roadmap for eliminating marine debris altogether by reducing it at the source, changing behaviors that cause it, and supporting better policy.
While all data has not been received as yet, locally there were over 1,000 cigarette butts, 336 plastic bags, and over 600 food wrappers, cups and straws picked up. These numbers are actually low since many teams simply said "too many to count." Virtually all of this garbage is preventable! Smokers and litterers should remember that when they throw their cigarettes and trash on the street, it is washed into the storm drains, and from there into the harbor. No one wants to swim in water polluted with garbage and old cigarettes.
Save the dates for next year – the Earth Day cleanup will be on April 24, 2010, and the International Coastal Cleanup will be Sept. 25. This is the 25th anniversary of the International Coastal Cleanup, so Friends of the Bay will plan something very special for that day.

Maplestory Client is Outdated?

Well, I just started to play Maplestory again, after like .. 2 days. Not as long as a break as I wanted, but oh well.
When I went on the Nexon website, it said "The client is outdated. Please download the current on the Maplestory website."
Well, I tried again and again, and I kept getting that, so I tried using the launcher in the Maplestory folder. It said the same thing. I redownloaded Maplestory from the website, and it still says that. Also tried the folder, and it still says the same thing. Anyone know how to fix this?

So I just got mail from UCLA saying that they're going to delete my ucla email account at the end of this month since I'm no longer a student, staff, or faculty. What the heck? I am 99% sure that they told us we had our email for life. ::tear:: Has it really been that long already since I've graduated? I feel so old! Time's truly flying and there's just not enough hours in a day. Especially with this daylight savings coming up– we're losing an hour! That means it's technically 2:45 AM as I write this blog post right now. No bueno since I have work at 9 tomorrow. Ugh. I'm scheduled to work 65 hours this week on top of my homework. I'm not quite sure how that'll go by, but hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Right?
These cookies were de-lish. I've had good luck with the recent recipes that I've been trying because they all seem to hit the spot. No bad recipes, yet! ::knocks on wood:: I adapted this recipe from Rock Recipes. When I made the original recipe, the cookie dough just seemed really crumbly and off, so I added another egg yolk to the batter which solved the problem perfectly. I also refrigerated my dough just to make sure there was no spreading and subbed the majority of the white sugar for brown sugar. The result? A sweet and salty, soft and chewy, delight.
Any questions about well, anything? Ask me on formspring! And become a fan of my blog on facebook, if you'd like to and haven't already. Gracias!

Humble-Yard Deanery
Humiliart, Humilyerd, now Humble-yard hundred, takes its name
from a valley in the parish of Swerdeston, where the hundred court
was anciently kept, which in evidences still retains the name of Hvmble-yerd, the low yard or court: it makes up exactly the whole
deanery called by the same name, and paid to the ancient task or
tenths 51l. 1s clear. It is bounded on the east with the hundred of
Henstede, on the north with the county of the city of Norwich; on the
west with the hundred of Forehoe, and on the south with the hundred
of Depwade: there is no town in it which holds a weekly market at
this time, it being so near the city of Norwich, that hath totally swallowed up all profits that could accrue to any village in so small a distance. The fee of this hundred was in the Crown, upon Earl Ralph's
forfeiture in the Conqueror's time, before which it belonged to the
manor of Hethersete. In Henry the Third's time it was worth 12l.
per annum, when it was farmed by William de St. Omer. In Edward
the First's time Nic. de Castello or Castle farmed it, and Edward III.
conveyed it in exchange to John de Clavering and his heirs; but it
afterwards reverted and continued in the Crown till James I. granted
it to Sir Charles Cornwaleis, Knt. to be held at the rent of 7l. 6s. 7d.
ob. q. during the lives of Charles Cornwaleis, Esq. eldest son of Sir
William Cornwaleis, Knt. Tho. Cornwaleis, Esq. eldest son of the said
Charles, and Thomas Cornwaleis, son of the said Sir William.
Is in the archdeaconry of Norfolk, and at the time of the Norwich taxation had 28 parishes in it, and the annual profit to its rural
dean was taxed at 26s. 8d. The following deans were all collated by
the several Bishops of the see.
1256, John Ordermer.
1312, John de Chetestan.
1320, Ric. Umfrey.
1333, Roger de Ayremine.
1337, John de North Killesey; he resigned the same year to
Rich. le Grage of Barew, who died in 1341, and was succeeded by
Ric. de Normandeby, who resigned the next year to
John Backworth.
1349, Robert de Hardeshull, succeeded by
Tho. de Thornham the same year, and he in
1350, by Walter de Newhawe of Baketon, inceptor in arts.
1360, John de Methelwold, shaveling.
1388, Robert de Hedersete, clerk.
1389, John Brereleye.
1390, Walter Cutet of Brockford.
1395, Will. Estryk.
1419, Nic. Frenge, he resigned in 1421, for Waynford deanery in
Suffolk, to
Robert Lambe, who resigned this for Thingo deanery in Suffolk;
and in 1447, this deanery was perpetually united to that of Depwade,
Ralf Somerby was collated to both as one deanery, and ever after
it attended that deanery.

Dr. Craig C. Thiede's Ratings
waiting time is ridicules: spent more then 3 hours and seeing the doctor only for 15 min. Staff doesn't know what their doing. before the surgery they told me that they contacted my insurance and checked the coverage and provided my final total, then later they sent me a bill to pay $424 more then I originally quoted. RIP OFF! they just want money. Stay away from them. I have no interest dealing with this insurance frauds and advising you to do the same.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The Topeka Zoo's annual fundraiser themed "Party with the Penguins had plenty of fun for everyone.
The University of Kansas' African Drum Ensemble added an upbeat touch to this year's zoobilee, and Wicked Liars and Vince DeLaughder provided live entertainment.
Guests enjoyed activities with the animals, saw Sunda play soccer and participated in a silent auction.
Both first time Zoobilee attendees and those who have attended every single one say it was a beautiful evening.
There's a lot of exciting things going on, a lot of feedings, a lot of activities with the animals," Kent Whisler said. He and his wife were zoo regulars, but attended the Zoobilee fundraiser for the first time. It was their date night, they said.
Maggie Kelley, said she's attended every Zoobilee event so far and enjoys the outdoor format. "We used to have it in the education building," she said. "And then they decided to this station kind of thing," she said, referring to the different vendor booth set up as grazing stations and watering holes. "It's so much fun to walk around and see all the different animals and see all the vendors," she said.

Matthew Peplinski, County Executive Director of Marathon County Farm Service Agency (FSA), reminds dairy producers of some important program requirements to be eligible for payment under the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program.
"At this time, prices have not fallen to a level to trigger a MILC payment," Peplinski said. "However, all dairy producers need to be aware of the program requirements should there be an opportunity for payments."
For dairies currently enrolled in MILC, it is important to notify your local county office if there have been any changes to the dairy operation.
If a payment rate is announced, dairy producers enrolled in the MILC program will need to provide the Marathon County office with documentation showing the eligible milk production and commercial milk marketing for the months with a MILC payment rate in effect.
When producers enroll in MILC, a payment start month is selected. This month remains the same through all program years, unless a change is requested by the dairy. Dairy producers are allowed to change their start month an unlimited number of times throughout their enrollment in MILC provided that the changes are made:
• On or before day 14 of the month prior to the new MILC production start-month (unless that day falls on a weekend federal holiday, then the date falls to the previous business day);
• Before payment is sought;
• Before the original selected MILC production start-month has passed.
MILC program participants are also required to comply with FSA's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) requirements each fiscal year. This certification, on form CCC-931, must be completed prior to a payment being disbursed.
New dairy operations that have not previously participated in the MILC program will need to fill out the CCC-580, Milk Income Loss Contract.
For more information on the MILC program, please contact the Marathon County FSA office at 715-848-2330 or visit us at www.fsa.usda.gov.

Setting receiver gain controls
From Contesting
Modern receivers that include digital signal processing technology contain two forms of AGC:
- ADC-protection AGC used to prevent errors in the digital conversion of the analog IF signal. The analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) stage of the receiver has a maximum level, above which it fails to accurately convert signals. For ordinary fixed-point arithmetic commonly used in HF receivers (as this is written in 2010), the dynamic range (dB) is approximately 6.02 × (number of bits). For a 16-bit ADC, about 96 dB of range is available. If the receiver has been designed to put the ADC's minimum discernible signal at -135 dBm, then the ADC will generate errors on signals above -44 dBm, or S9+28 dB. These errors, if permitted, would show up as significant distortion at the receiver output. To prevent them, the ADC-protection AGC reduces the signal levels. The operator has no control over this ADC-protection AGC.
- operator-controlled AGC used to reduce the audio output range of the receiver.
All AGC technologies introduce distortion in the receiver output. Distortions make it more difficult to understand signals and make long-term use more fatiguing. With careful selection among design choices, and proper choice of settings by the operator, these distortions can be reduced somewhat -- but some distortion will remain. In addition, many AGC implementations and operator settings cause weaker signals and stronger signals to have more similar apparent volume levels at the receiver output. These similarities make it more difficult for the operator to separate multiple signals and to concentrate on the desired one.
When to use operator-controlled AGC
Operator-controlled AGC may be appropriate when:
- only one signal is present in the receiver bandwidth.
- the operator has no interest in hearing weak signals while stronger signals are present; e.g., casual listening.
- the operator is listening in a room with a high level of ambient distractions (other operators, fan noise from other equipment, etc). In this case, the operator will adjust the radio so that weaker signals and band noise can be heard above the local distractions... and rely on operator-controlled AGC to reduce the power of strong signals. More information about listening environment is found below.
In other situations, AGC is unnecessary. The operator can avoid the distortion and extra concentration effort by switching the operator-controlled AGC off. To use this approach effectively, one needs to set gain levels set so that the loudest signal the receiver delivers to the headphones is a level that operator can tolerate, and so that the weakest signals (typically, the underlying band noise) are audible.
Setting controls for operation without AGC
Many operators run their gain controls way too high. Here is one approach to setting up gain levels correctly. It involves four sets of adjustments.
Adjustments for a specific set of headphones: The first two settings are done once for a specific headphone set. If the operator changes to a different headphone mode, these parameters may need to be reset. Each model of headphone has a different sensitivity to the signals provided by the receiver. For a given receiver output level, one model may sound very loud while a different model may be quite soft. When a manufacturer does not provide good quality control, even individual headphones of the same model may exhibit significant variations in sensitivity between individual headsets.
- Protective audio limiter level (if available).
- AF gain level.
Adjustments for the particular band and model: These adjustments will differ from band to band, and may differ slightly between antennas on the same band. Once these settings have been selected, they can be written down and reused in the future. The operator will not need to change them unless band noise levels change markedly; e.g., lots of continuous QRN, or a change from day to night noise levels on 80/160m.
- Set coarse adjustment of front end gain: Choosing the correct pre-amp/attenuator level for the band.
- Set fine adjustment of front end gain: choosing the correct RF gain control level.
Set the protective audio limiter level
Not every receiver includes a protective audio limiter. When one is present (e.g., Elecraft K3), the goal is to set the receiver's maximum possible audio output to a level that does not injure the operator's hearing. Again, this level will be different for different operators, and for different headphones. Here is one method to make this setting:
- Apply a signal strong enough to max out the receiver's internal ADC-protection AGC. This can be provided by a signal generator set to -5 dBm: strong enough to trigger the internal ADC-protection AGC, but not strong enough to damage the most sensitive amplifier stages. In some transceivers the CW monitor signal level can also be turned up to the maximum level and used for the purposes of this adjustment.
- Adjust the AF limiter so that the signal is very strong and just barely tolerable. Note: Since the limiter is operating, the tone will be quite distorted (close to a square wave).
If a protective audio limiter is not present within the receiver, hearing protection can still be accomplished:
- Insert an attenuator between the receiver output and the speaker or headphones used for listening.
- Apply a signal strong enough to max out the receiver's internal ADC-protection AGC, as described above.
- Adjust the attenuator so that the signal appears very strong and just barely tolerable.
A variable attenuator can be replaced by a fixed attenuator (for this combination of operator, receiver, and headphones/speaker) once this level has been determined.
Set the AF gain level
The goal is to set the AF gain level just high enough that you can hear the receiver's AF amplifier noise floor.
- Turn off AGC, pre-amp and attenuator.
- Disconnect the antenna (preferable) or switch to a port with no antenna. Note: Most receivers "leak" signals between their antenna ports, since the port-to-port isolation often is as low as -40 dB on the higher frequency bands. Disconnecting all antennas eliminates weak, leaked signals during these adjustments.
- Set to CW mode, and to the narrowest typical listening bandwidth; e.g., 400 Hz.
- Set RF gain to minimum.
- Set AF gain to minimum. Note: If one hears hiss or noise when both the RF and AF gain is at a minimum, the headphones are too sensitive. Insert an audio attenuator in the headphone leads. (I run 15-20 dB attenuation on my in-ear monitors. -- K3NA)
- Now increase AF gain until one just barely hears the receiver's internal noise floor. This level usually is quite high; a fully clockwise position is quite OK. If one reaches full clockwise with AF gain, and do not yet hear any noise, it is OK to leave this control at full clockwise. But, with sensitive headphones, one may reach a level where the AF amp noise floor can be detected at a point below full AF gain.
Do not change the AF gain in future. This is the gain level appropriate for these headphones.
Set coarse adjustment of front end gain
The goal is to provide enough gain so that the band noise from the antenna is just above the receiver noise floor, which in turn is just above the AF amp noise floor (if detectable).
- Without connecting an antenna, turn on the pre-amp.
- Advance RF gain until one can just start to hear the receiver noise floor (just above the audio noise floor, if that is audible). At this point there is enough gain in both the RF and AF stages to hear the internal noise of the receiver. This is the maximum useful gain setting. One never benefits from using more gain than these levels.
- Connect an antenna. Antenna noise should be heard above the receiver noise floor. Tune to a empty frequency, even if it is just outside the band edge.
- Switch off the pre-amp. If the operator can still hear the antenna noise above the receiver noise floor, continue to next step. If not, the pre-amp is needed with this antenna on this band; go to the fine adjustment of front end gain section. Typically one will need the pre-amp on the highest frequency bands.
- Add attenuation. (For a receiver with multiple attenuation levels, increase the attenuation step-by-step.) When the operator no longer hears band noise above the receiver noise floor, too much attenuation has been added. Remove/reduce the attenuation until the band noise is heard just above the receiver noise floor. This is the correct adjustment on this band for this antenna. Go to the fine adjustment section.
Note the setting of the pre-amp and attenuator settings. This is the setting to be used for this band/antenna combination in future, unless band noise level changes markedly. One never needs more gain than provided by this setting; extra gain just chews up the dynamic range of the operator's hearing and of the receiver's analog-to-digital converter.
Set fine adjustment of front end gain
In the previous steps, the attenuator/preamp provided a coarse adjustment (e.g., in 10 dB steps for the Elecraft K3) of front end gain. The goal now is to improve this a bit by tweaking the RF gain control.
If all attenuation was applied in the previous steps (typical on bands with higher noise levels, such as 160-40m at night), a substantial further front end gain reduction may be needed; this will be done now using the RF gain control.
- Reduce the RF gain control until the band noise is just above the receiver noise floor. This is the final setting for this band/antenna combination under these band noise conditions.
Other factors affecting listening
As an example, the Elecraft K3 has an internal range of about 80-90 dB for its DSP A/D and D/A converters. When listening in a quiet environment, the above adjustments allow the operator to enjoy almost the full instantaneous dynamic range of the K3 before signals hit the painful level in his ears. Unfortunately, many operators fail to design their listening environment with the same care as they use in picking out a radio transceiver, ultimately wasting much of the benefit of today's excellent radios.
Ambient room noise
Human hearing has about 100 dB range -- but this can be easily compromised when listening in a noisy environment! If the ambient room noise chews up 60 dB of hearing range, then the operator is left with just 30 dB to play with between "just audible above the ambient noise of the room" and "ouch!". Since signal strengths on the band easily exceed this range, the operator must either (a) ride the RF control when encountering loud signals or (b) accept the distortion and compromises inherent in any AGC system.
A library-like room has an ambient noise level about 40 dB above the threshold of human hearing. This ambient room noise can be reduced by:
- Using headphones that encapsulate the entire ear and rest only on the skull around the ear (pinnae). Encapsulating ear muffs can reduce the ambient noise level by 15-25 dB, depending on the quality of the ear muff and the frequency of interest.
- Using in-ear monitors. In-ear monitors reduce the radio room's ambient noise level by about 25 dB and have excellent audio performance. (Switching to in-ear monitors from the typical headset used by operators today often causes people to think they have bought a new, superior receiver!) Custom-fit in-ear monitors are especially comfortable for long wear during contests. Examples:
- Using in-ear monitors together with hearing protection ear muffs. These muffs are widely available for purchase over the Internet at prices beginning around US$18. Choose a model based on comfort, encapsulation, and measured sound reduction. The combination of in-ear monitors and external ear muffs provides about 40 db reduction in ambient room noise. In a quiet room and with the radio gain adjustments outlined above, this combination means the operator will never say "ouch!" when tuning in a loud signal (or hearing a big static crash) with the receiver AGC off.
Active devices between receiver audio output and operator ears
External active devices often introduce additional impairments to the operator's listening environment. Examples:
- Audio amplifiers: Amplifiers have a specific range of signal inputs across which their output is a very close (but not perfect) linear amplification. If the signals from the receiver fall outside the amplifier's range (either above or below), further distortion will be added to the output. To avoid this problem, an external audio amplifier's input range must be matched to the output signal range of the receiver; e.g., an 80-90 dB range peaking at 1.5 Vrms.
- Devices using digital signal processing: Noise-canceling headphones and external DSP filter systems add three potential sources of distortion: the A/D conversion stage, the signal processing stage, and the D/A conversion stage. Of these, the A/D stage is the most likely to cause problems. When the receiver output level exceeds the encoding ability of the A/D converter, distortion is generated by. This distortion arises from the inability of the converter to encode the signal peaks, or from the internal AGC system of the device used to reduce gain in front of the converter.

Morning Tailgate: May 8Posted by on May 8, 2012 – 9:56 AM
The 49ers three-day rookie minicamp begins on Thursday and first-round draft-pick A.J. Jenkins will be in attendance. The Illinois wide receiver's decision to attend was confirmed by his agent to multiple media outlets. But now there's a question of who will be throwing the passes to the talented vertical threat.
Jenkins was scheduled to walk across the graduation stage to receive his sports management degree on Mother's Day, but has since changed his mind. Instead, the No. 30 overall pick will join his 49ers teammates when rookies report. However, the 49ers are without a rookie quarterback on the roster that can participate in the camp.
More on the 49ers quarterbacking options, LaMichael James' draft day experience and the latest team headlines can be found after the jump.
Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee examines the 49ers possibilities at quarterback for rookie camp. The team can either sign an undrafted rookie in time for the camp, or rely on the likes of coach Jim Harbaugh and assistant athletic trainer Nate Breske, a former quarterback in his own right.
Eric Branch of The San Francisco Chronicle passes along the Twitter conversation between 49ers Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice and Jenkins, the team's newest wideout. Rice has offered to take Jenkins to his legendary training hill to get him ready for his first NFL season which the young wideout has since accepted.
Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com writes that Jenkins will move to the Bay Area permanently on Thursday and will begin working out daily at the 49ers training facility.
49ers second-round draft pick LaMichael James is one of 11 rookies profiled on NFL Network's "Everything to Prove" series. Along with the likes of Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, James' draft day experience is documented (around the 4:50 mark), complete with footage from his draft day party. The Oregon running back was invited to New York City for the draft, but decided to stay home in Texarkana, Texas. "I felt like I should stat at home and contine to be the person I am today," James said in the video. "I don't need all the hype, I don't need all the cameras and all the fame, I really don't need all of that. I'm here to play football. I'm a professional football player."
Lastly, two of the 49ers veteran running backs were featured in our Football School coverage on Monday. 49ers all-time rushing leader Frank Gore said he's got plenty left for his eighth season in San Francisco. Meanwhile, fellow 2005 draft pick Brandon Jacobs is having no trouble acclimating himself with his beloved childhood team.
The veteran 49ers longsnapper's annual football camp is taking place this Saturday in Phoneix, visit's Brian's official website for more information.

these so-called football experts crack me up,,after giving the 49ers a b+ draft grade,,they are of the opinion that seattle or arizona will win the division,,now granted seattle has a tough defense that always plays us hard,and they have a very strong running game,,arizona and the rams can make the same claim,,stout running game and defense,,the rams have bradford and he looks like he will be a very good qb form them for years. seattle doesnt know who will be the qb this year,,arizons has their own qb issues,,leaving only the 49ers and rams with clear #1 starters at the qb position,,I think the rams are going to be our toughest opponent this year,,jeff fisher will get that team ready to play,,,cortland finnegan will bring his nastiness to an already tough defense,,,the division battles this year are going to be epic,,

Rams Fisher, I agree with ya! and if 'They' think that some other team is going to win the NFC-W? Then we shouldn't hear this WEAK nfc-w crap, I say! fanster The Tank and a few others will have something about that, eh?

So they give us an B+ cool thats fair, in my book! But so then they give other teams in the NFC-W what A, A-?
Okay Zona! They will test our Defense for sure they got Better at WR in the draft. like they needed too! But I question their QB
Seattle! aaahh I don't know, but they do have one hell of a RB thats for sure. QB I don't know he played what? one NFL game. and looked great, 'But GB has lot of talent at WR'
Rams! aaah again I don't know lot of holes too fill I have a lot of respect for Fisher, (out of the 9ers camp) but even at that you need talent, they have some but their young?
Time will tell we'll see!

Super Bowl 2013 Odds: Early Predictions for All 32 NFL Teams
The San Francisco 49ers took a big step forward during the past season under first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh, which is why I'm not surprised at their opening odds.
I believe that many sports books will try to entice action on the 49ers this season, as they don't expect a another run to the NFC Championship Game next year.
A wait-and-see approach unless you live in the Bay Area.
Super Bowl Odds: 16-1
9ers came in at 23.

honestly I don't know what these professional critics are thinking some of the time. When you look at the NFC West and the teams drafts, what do we really see? That we added exactly what we need… Speed, Explosivness, A Threat!! We got that through A.J Jenkins and LaMicheal James no doubt. We got exactly who Harbalkee wanted in every round and we did this while trading back and stockpiling extra picks for next years draft. We came out of the draft with all the players we wanted and addressed all the "needs" that the critics said we had to address, we got great value throughout the draft, and we came out with I think its 3 more picks for next years draft that we didn't have before. Now how can they say Arizona, Seatle, or St. Lois had an better of a draft than our Niners. Our GM/Coach are the best in the business and are gonna take us back to our dynasty days and start a new current Niner Tradition.

By Hmrhead on May 8, 2012 | Reply
Although i think these other guys are idiots for trashing alex, i do believe they are right. The man has given us everything he could. He's all heart. But that doesnt change the facts that he is a mediocre qb. Yes, you can win a SB with a mediocre qb when your defense is dominant, but history shows it's very difficult to accomplish. In the past 25 years, there have been 3 teams that won the SB on their defense alone. Chicago, TB, and Baltimore. They wer all built the same. Premier run defense, premier special teams, a qb with limited turnovers.
But what happens if Justin Smith or Carlos Rogers goes down with an injury? We arent as dominant. At that point, can our offense carry the load to victory? With alex at qb, we all know the answer is no. Yes, he can win some games, but is he capable of beating the dominant teams in the NFC on a consistent basis? Absolutely not.
There's a reason we targeted Manning. I dont know if Kaep is the answer. But if he isnt, then we need to find one fast. Because we are going to waste a dominant defense because we just wont move on from alex because we all love his heart. Look at Baltimore. Easily one of the most dominant defensive runs of our generation and they have one SB to show for it. All because of their qb play.

Wait a minuted, hold on there! Myself I believe Alex can do all of that, "With alex at qb, we all know the answer is no.:" No we all don't know, speak for your self pal!! That being said who the hell could win under either of those to coaches. What are Nolan and Singletary doing now, are they Head Coaches? Its just good to see you all have confidence in good old Alex, but hey we have our options, and thats what this place is for!
And fanster is right about Jerkome, he and seven/eleven something. we had a great season and they keep coming with reason how Alex screwed up the season. Talk the same BS over and over, we lost 3 game '3′ and each one in one way or an another, its Alex's fault!

@dyenny i couldnt agree more… The only thing worse than the alex bashers are the fake alex supporters!!!!!… I swear everyone is such a fan that they dont realize how much we really have sucked!!! The one year Alex has a good team and a sound front office he goes 13-3 almost to the SB and he still gets disrespected.. @Fanster u keep calling for the alex bashing to stop… but basically say he sucks yourself… so what do u want the bashers to lay off for??? U basically agree with them!!! EVERYTHING STARTS FROM NOW!!!! Whoever doesnt produce to their same level of performance of last year then there is reason to bash someone.. People talk like since Alex has been there its been an ideal situation… A year ago Eli Manning was mediocre too… Now all of a sudden he is elite… I hope with the new wr corps alex throws the ball all over the field so the bashers and the fake supporters can shut up!!! Sure he hasnt been the one man savior, but how many QBs are??? We finally have a GOOD team going into its second year together we dont even trully know what we got till we see how they perform this year.. Not only Alex, EVERYONE!!! Can they do it again is the question.. Not what anybody has done in the past!!! Like we have just had this great team and Alez was the one holding us back.. STOP IT!!! Truth is we dont know what we got because if last season didnt come as somewhat of a shock for everyone in niner nation your lying!!! Even players said it was a couple games into the season when they started to feel they had something special!!! I hope alex not only wins the SB but has pro bowl season so all the bashers and fake supporters have to look stupid and act like they never had a bad word to say about alex!!!… #9er 4 Lyfe!!!

Just like every year, I will start off really hoping that he plays well, hope he doesnt do the same old same old, i want him to walk out & look like hes not scared, i want him to play with confidence, just like i have wanted every year, but there comes a time when you stop beleiving in fairy tales, the good thing is that he will be replaced if he starts to stink it up again, & after just one or two good games from any of the other QBs, we will never look back & he will no longer be the subject of this blog

I'm getting into the Alex conversation late but; Alex will FINALLY be able to show everyone who he really is this year be that great, mediocer, or bad. WHY?Because of finally having some continuence in (A) an offensive play book (B) a good coaching staff (C) offensive weapons and (D) some success thus some confidence. A while ago someone mention how rare that a dominate defense can carry a team to a SB, thats true. But they also mention how we targeted Payton and as good as he made the colts offense he only has ONE (1) SB title to show for all hes done. Anyone who thinks a Great QB = SB title is an idiot!!! Any SB multi-title team has had 3 basic things (1) A really good team from man #1 thru man #53 (2) Great coaching and (3) a little luck. NINERS FOR LIFE!!!

Guys I support the team all the time through thick and thin…I also am supporting Alex he is our QB and ill back him up as long as he holds that title…but im not going to sit here and say he is "one hell of a QB"!! He is a solid qb who will go out there and make the plays neccessary…he does not have the extreme athleticism or big arm…he is Solid he is not elite he is just Solid!!! I dont know how else to explain it….just cause someone tells the truth does not make them any less of a fan

Alex smith is our team's QB! We as Niners fans should Support him, not continue to throw him under the bus… He's our starting qb, and we should stand by his side, after all, he is wearing the red and gold too. Anyone who wants Alex to fail, wants us to fail. I hope he has a pro bowl year so we don't have to endure another year of hearing people blame Alex smith for everything. In the losses we had last year, It's not like he lost the game for us. And he sure didn't look scared in the saints game, in fact, in my opinion, he was the reason we won the game

I could see no reason to get Payton, none at all! I thought it better to spend that money on getting talent, Payton can make a WR look good ,, then crabtree would look good?
O-Line takes the longest to come together, this being their third year together? I look forward to see their play this year. And I hope the R-Gaurd replacement Looney(?) fills in well for us!

I guess the next things to look for is signings? And I hope these guys realize just how important it is for them to get into camp. And this year more so because we have talent and it will be hard for some to even make the team, so they need ever rep they can get, I hope their agents are that smart and see that?

To all the people that say Alex Smith won't do good this season and he got lucky last season. Do you not see the weapons he has Mario Manningham, Jenkins, Moss, Crabtree and Davis. Also if he isn't having a good day that game then we can just run are powerful running backs. That is Gore, LaMicheal James, Jacobs and Hunter. And just to add are now powerful offense is are amazing defence.
Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.

Husker Nation is buzzing over Bo Pelini, mostly split right down the middle on his fate.
His comments after the game have sparked debate among fans.
"If they want to fire me, go ahead. I believe in what I've done. I don't apologize for what I've done. I don't apologize for anybody, myself or this staff. Our record since I've been here speaks for itself. This program's heading in a good direction," Pelini said.
Since his remarks after the game, fans have been weighing in on what should happen to the coach.
Many like Christopher Gladson don't see him sticking around much longer.
"I think his record does speak for itself, and we could find somebody better," Gladson says.
There are many conflicting views concerning Pelini's future at Nebraska following several seasons of an angry approach, and his sub-par record against top-competition.
Earlier this season, Pelini was under fire for his off the record comments on "fair weather" Husker fans.
After the last regular season game on Friday, phones were ringing off the hook at KFAB with listeners joining in on the conversation through the station's "Big Red Reaction."
Some fans believe Pelini has done well for the program.
"Bo Pelini is in his 6th season, so let's give him credit where credit is due. I mean, he's doing the best he can with the short amount of experience and time that he's had," said one listener calling in.
However, even after more than 50 wins over those six seasons, others like Travis Cavender feel Nebraska could find a better coach to act as the "face of the program."
"People want someone who encourages them to get out there and work their hardest on everything, but he's the total opposite of that," says Cavender.
Keep in mind, all of these views are pure speculation.
The university hasn't made any comments at all regarding Pelini's employment.
If the administration does decide to let Pelini go, he would still get more than $7 million under his contract.

Summer in Venice
by David Lean, a film from 1955. It takes place in Italy
and narrates the story of Jane Hudson who travels to
Venice to explore the city. There she meets Renato
and falls in love with him, but then she discovers that
he is married and decides to leave Venice
broken-hearted without him...
The setting and the costumes were amazing, like in
a fairy-tale dream! I have been to Venice with my
family when I was a child and the magic of this
'city on the water' with the doves and golden lions
mysteriously casts a spell over everybody who gets
there! I hope I can go back there again^-^.
Todays the birthday of a dear friend of mine and
I am rushing off soon, so I wish everybody
a good time, see you soon...
Lilly :)

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Rex Ryan has stuck up for Mark Sanchez from the start. Watching the quarterback literally throw away the Jets' slim playoff hopes with a season-high five turnovers against Tennessee may be the final straw for New York's coach.
Sanchez turned the ball over on the Jets' final three possessions Monday night, the last a fumbled snap at the Tennessee 25 with 43 seconds left, and the Titans held on for a 14-10 victory that knocked New York out of postseason contention.
— Iyer: Time for Jets to cut Sanchez—and Tebow—loose
"Obviously, it's a devastating loss, out of the playoffs, and it hurts beyond belief," Ryan said. "I think the thing that really hurts the most is we've got no one to blame but ourselves."
The Jets (6-8) needed to win out and get some help to reach the playoffs, and they had an easy schedule against three straight losing teams. Instead, the Jets will be sitting at home in January for a second straight season after Sanchez helped New York reach the AFC title game in his first two years.
"Obviously, this isn't what I thought this football team would be," Ryan said. "There's no doubt about that. I thought we'd be in the playoffs, but that's not where we are. We have two games left and I believe my team's going to give everything we have and we're going to try like crazy to win these games. As a competitor, that's all you have left and that's what we're going to do."
Ryan was left cursing to himself as he walked off the field after his defense had given the Jets an improbable chance to win despite an ugly performance. With first-and-10 at the Titans 25, Sanchez lined up in the shotgun but couldn't grab a low snap that running back Bilal Powell inadvertently kicked away.
— Recap | Box score | Video | Johnson goes 94 yards for TD
Titans rookie linebacker Zach Brown covered it up to seal the win.
"We had our chance and fell flat on (our) face," Jets linebacker Calvin Pace said.
Sanchez, the No. 5 pick overall in 2009, now has 24 turnovers this season and 50 total in the past two seasons combined. Sanchez was curt in speaking to reporters after going 13 of 28 for 131 yards and a 32.6 passer rating.
"It doesn't feel good hurting your team like that," Sanchez said. "It's not a winning formula. It never feels good."
Now Ryan has to decide which quarterback to start Sunday when the Jets host San Diego, and he didn't give any hints Monday night. Sanchez said he will prepare as the starter and see what happens.
Backup quarterback Tim Tebow played a full series in a move Sanchez said Ryan planned before the game, picking up a couple of first downs and getting sacked before a punt. Greg McElroy, who came on in relief when Sanchez was benched Dec. 2 and led the Jets to a 7-6 win over Arizona, was inactive with the Jets keeping six receivers on a banged-up unit.
Ryan refused to say if he regretted not activating McElroy.
"I just regret not winning this game," Ryan said. "I think that's the big thing."

BAM! You're so smart!!!
Now help me figure out KAM's husband's name. It's not Solomon.
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 10:02 AM ESTLemon - I'm on it! (But don't get your hopes up...)
ETA: Dang! I have a guess, but just noticed that KAM said she doesn't want to post her kids name, so I will respect that. Totally understandable.
IPW - Interesting... Even though many of us are pretty much in the same age group, I think the Jennifers I know are more like my older sister's age (7 years older). When I was growing up, she had multiple friends named Jennifer, Heather, and Debbie. I recall a lot of Kate/Katie/Caitlins around my age.
Re: Baby Names

Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 10:15 AM ESTOkay Lemon...In order to *guess* DH's name you need to know what country he's from...(some from the wedding boards may remember me mentioning it there...)
Some clues:
It takes us 10 hours to fly direct from JFK...
The first known beauty contest was held here.
There are 453 bird species are located here.
Tuplis are from here.
Problem is it's an uncommon name even in his home country. So if you can figure out the country you'll be able to determine DS first name. If you can figure out his full name I will be amazed!
DD's name is a different story...

Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 10:22 AM ESTEveryone always wants to know why we named our daughter Theodora. "Oh, is it a family name?" no. "Is it from a book?" No. Maybe, but not that we know of. "The empress Theodora?" Who? "How did you come up with it, then?" Well, we didn't come up with it. It was a name that existed. We talked about it. We both liked it. It had good nickname potential. It wasn't weird or overused. So we decided to use it. "Oh.... okay. Um..." I mean, is that so unusual? That's how people used to be named. "Mary, let's name this child John." "But Ted, we already have a son named John." "By gosh, you're right, Mary! Then let's name this child Michael." Now it's like you have to have a good reason to have chosen that name or everyone gets sulky. We'll have to invent a story for social cover.

[QUOTE]Love the guessing games! Fun. I thought of this article I read early last year and wanted to post here. Its just beyond cute. And since many of us are in our 30s (and female!) on this site, I'd bet there are several Jennifers here. And I represent the next of the dying names... according to this story :-) http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2011/01/13/the_rise_and_fall_of_jennifers/

This article makes me think of this Mike Doughty song...one of my favorites...
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 10:30 AM ESTLemon - Theodora was my third guess. I was originally thinking Frances or Patricia, but those aren't Greek. I love the nickname Dora. I think it's cool when a name has a few nicknames. My name can't really be shortened to a nickname (not that people don't try...) so I get kind of jealous.KAM - I'm going with Augustus for DH's name.
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 10:33 AM ESTDo you call her Teddy or Dora?
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 10:36 AM ESTWe call her Theo. We tried Teddy for a while but it didn't stick. I also love the name Frances, but I don't care for Franny as a nickname. Frank is a cute nickname for a girl, but she'd have to be really pretty to pull it off with any dignity.
The theoretical Frank, that is. My daughter is definitely lovely enough for a male nickname.

If you guys find the names then that's cool-they are public info afterall. We did not create the names ourselves. Once you get the country of origin right you'll be able to find DS's name easily.
I love puzzles!
Chiclet-nope, not his name-but the same number of letters. ;)
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 10:47 AM ESTAnyone want to name my second boy? We're stuck, and have less than 8 weeks to go!
My first is named Armand, had that named picked out since 1994 :)
His name name will be long, slavic and difficult to pronounce, so the first name has to be short. We don't want anything that could be found in the bible, or anything very popular right now.
Some names I like are Austin, Torin, Luca, Marius. My husband likes Dario, Marco, Darius (I think Dario and like names sounds girlie)

[QUOTE]Logan is also the name of a kid I sat next to in science class in sixth grade who would sing the "insane in the membrane" song repeatedly. He became (had already started?) a stoner who said "dude" a lot. I can't get past that. Though I do really like the name Logan. It's funny how strong some associations can be.

Great, now my kid is destin to be a stoner, following in her mothers footsteps I guess.hahaha If that is the worst thing she will do in her life, ill take it. I grew out of that phase pretty quickly.

posted at 2/8/2012 11:19 AM ESTThe 1st time I heard the name Logan was in the Baby Sitter's Club books. He was Mary Anne's boyfriend. A little more innocent than a stoner!

posted at 2/8/2012 11:20 AM ESTBS - I know a set of brothers named Armand and Stephane (pronounced like the french way) so that's what I immediately thought of when I saw your post!
Loving this thread! My husband refuses to talk names until we find out the gender in another month or so. DD's first name was in the mid 300s of the social security list the year she was born. This past year, it climbed up almost 100 spots in the list. It hit its peak popularity in the late 1800s and is a shortened version of a very popular name today. For No. 2, we have a boys name completely picked out - same as the one we would have used if DD was a boy - and we still love it. But the only name we like for a girl is also the name of one of my DH's living relatives, and we are jewish and its custom not to use the name of someone who is still alive. I sort of think its a stupid tradition because it would be nice to honor a person who is alive so they can know about it and feel the connection wtih the younger generation, rather than after they have passed away. But, alas, it is tradition, and I don't think his relative would like it if we didn't honor it. But, if we find out we are having a girl, I think we'll seriously consider asking the relative permission to use at least a derivative of the name we like...we'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it!
Lemon - I love Theodora too. Too bad our last name has so many syllabuls or that might have to go on the girls name list!

See, I was going Biblical because I think the first beauty contest was in the Book of Esther. But then I got too lazy to try to figure out what countries were where.
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 11:39 AM ESTDidn't she say tulips were from there? I was unaware of the fact that hte first beauty contest took place in the Netherlands. I thought it was in Greece. I'm going w/ Dutch names.
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 11:44 AM ESTDon't go with biblical with names...
Alf-I had a scary spider living in my storage closet when I lived in DC...we named him Fritz.
Okay-don't get caugth upon the first beauty contest thing...it's not their claime to fame-just a random fact one website said...
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 11:45 AM ESTI do like Ronan, hubby isn't too keene on that one.
Stephane - add an 'I' and that's my name, we're avoiding any names already in the family
I'm thinking KAM's husband was from Turkey for some reason
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 11:56 AM ESTKam, I think Turkey as well. Aydin for DS? I'm still lloking for your DH.
Re: Baby Names
posted at 2/8/2012 12:00 PM ESTI am thinking Turkey, too. Wikipedia claims that tulips originated in the Ottoman Empire, so modern day Turkey would work (as would some others).
Plus, JFK to Istanbul is about 10 hours. JFK to the Netherlands is only about 6 or 7, so I think the Netherlands is out of the running for that reason.
In other news, I need to get back to work! :)
Re: Baby Names

Re: Baby Names
