Soennecken Pen Company
In the U.S. the familiar names are Parker, Sheaffer and Waterman. In Germany and Europe an equally famous and prestigious name in the history of writing and pens is Soennecken.
Tracing its roots to the writing society founded by Friedrich Soennecken in 1868 to disseminate the Rundschrift (round) writing system he'd developed by the age of 20, this penmanship showed a radical departure from the distinctly Germanic Fraktur style which predominated at the time, eschewing instead the Antiqua style created by the godless humanist movement in Italy
Soenneckens accomplishments in that period include designing the perfect steel nibs for his writing style... At one time, the nibs of choice used by Friederich Nietzche and the Franz Kafka.
Thereafter, the Soennecken Pen Company, Bonn Germany, as such was founded in 1875, when he began his own production of nibs, inkwells and various exercise books about the penmanship method that hed created.The firm prospered, and by 1883 a new three story building was constructed, housing some 40 employees.Soennecken also soon went on to invent the ring binder and hole puncher, as well as setting up a company department for the manufacture of office furniture.
However, by 1890, one of the most important articles offered within Soenneckens product range of some 150 items was the first-ever German fountain pen, a hard rubber eyedropper filler. Succeeding versions were produced over the years; and in 1905 Soennecken also went on to introduce his first safety pen. By then, the Companys pen range consisted of some 30 models, safety pens as well as eyedropper fillers, in various sizes and based on different technical solutions that included overfeeds, alternatively underfeeds, to conduct ink from the pens reservoir to the nib.
Following Friedrichs death in 1919, his son Alfred headed-up the firm, succeeding to maintain operations despite the currency depreciation and material shortages which marked post WWI Germany.
Starting in 1927, Soennecken also briefly produced lever fillers, eventually discarding the system in favor of the more successful button fillers introduced in 1931.
Also by this time, Soenneckens main competitors had become the Simplo Filler Pen Company (later renamed Montblanc), Pelikan and Parker-Osmia whod began strongly promoting their Duofold range.
World War II went on to annihilate the combined work of two Soennecken generations, as both factories in Bonn were completely destroyed. However, in 1945, Alfred, and a third generation Alfred Jr. gathered together some of their old staff and production was relaunched, finally ceasing in 1967.

Some of us were able to walk over to the beach during the day.

"From the cookbook, "Harlem Really Cooks" by the late Harlem historian and gourmand Sandra Lawrence. "Obie" was a friend of hers who owned a nightclub/restaurant and smothered chops were one of the many specialties made there. The use of pancake mix in lieu of plain flour gives this dish a slight sweetness along with the sugar as well. The only change I made was the addition of mushrooms to the gravy. Serve with Sauteed Potatoes With Apples - I hope you like it. And please, do buy the book. *Note: If you don't eat pork for religious or health reasons, turkey chops are a fine substitute."
Serving Size: 1 (369 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 4
"This was absolutely excellent! The gravy was delicious and creamy, and the pork was as tender as I've ever had. This is not only a keeper, it's now a permanent part of our rotation! Thanks so much for posting it. If the other recipes are even close, I'll be buying that cookbook right away!"
"This recipe appeared years ago in a newspaper. Misplaced it in a move and I just spent hours searching for it online. This is without a doubt the BEST recipe for smothered pork chops thank you"
"YUMMY!!! Thanks for sharing :-) I made this last night and talk about tender chops this are so tender and tasty!"
"These were very flavorful, tender, and easy to make. The only change I made was to substitute the water for a can of beef broth, which I topped off with red wine to make the 2 cups. Thanks for sharing, as these are a definite keeper!"
"This was very good and easy. The only change that I made was to add 2 beef bullion cubes to the gravy for more flavor."
"Excellent! It made a lot, but we love leftovers. Very flavorful, and very easy to make! Thank you so much for sharing!!! LA :-)"

Tracy Mourning is nothing like the basketball players' wives/former fiancés/ex-girlfriends/baby mamas who are seen on VH-1's "Basketball Wives." She is married to former Miami Heat player and Hall of Famer, Alonzo Mourning, but that does not define who she is.
I met with Tracy this past Wednesday night at her event, "To Her with Love," a women's spoken word experience, which was held at The Bohemia Room in North Miami Beach. This monthly event had a Women's History Month theme and featured poets Maha Adachi, Flow Diva, Mori, Red Writing Hood, Poettis and Amali who presented poems to honor and celebrate women.

Officials say the number of people crossing the Libyan border has suddenly dropped because it is now being manned by heavily armed forces loyal to Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
Red Cross officials also said Friday that two Libyan Red Crescent ambulances were shot at in Misrata, west of Benghazi, and two volunteers were injured.
They say one ambulance was completely burned.
U.N. refugee agency spokeswoman Melissa Fleming says less than 2,000 people made it across the border into Tunisia over the last day, compared with 10,000 to 15,000 previously.
She says many of those who cross are too terrified to speak and had mobile phones and cameras confiscated.
She says other foreign workers are staying put because "they feel hunted and targeted."

There have been quite a few posts on T3KD lately talking about the mobile industry. Where is it going, what new hardware is out, better battery life, etc. So I thought with all this talk about better battery life among other features we'd love to see. Why not take a look back since it's now been 40 years since the first mobile phone call was made. A look back that might bring perspective on how far we've come and why we don't have it so bad after all.
So Gizmodo did a post on the 40th Anniversary of the first mobile call with a Yahoo post expanding even further on the information. They are both definitely worth a read and could possibly bring back some nostalgic feelings, if you were alive back then or older than 10 years old. I wont re-hash everything in the posts but instead highlight the important thing that struck me about how far we have come in the 40 years of mobile phones. I'll also include a Motorola video that pretty much predicted the mobile phone trajectory in the future which is now our present!
The first call was made by Martin Cooper, April 3rd 1973 with a Motorola DynaTAC. The DynaTAC was nicknamed the "Brick" because it was 9 inches tall and weighed 28 ounces or 1.75 lbs! It had 30 circuit boards inside and 10 hours of charging gave you about 35 minutes of talk time! Can anyone even imagine that, in comparison the very first iPad weighed 1.6 lbs while most smartphones these days will last at the very least 4 hours on a single charge. It is just mind-blowing to look at the difference. Well enjoy a few pictures and video of mobile phones that had their moment in the spotlight.
Did you own one of these?

Absences of West High ex-principal unexplained
Former Manchester West Principal Mary Ellen McGorry speaks during a special naturalization ceremony at the high school last May. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Manchester school officials released the cumulative work days of McGorry for the past two years upon request of the New Hampshire Union Leader. However, school officials would not specify which days she was absent, nor would they discuss whether her absences had anything to do with an expensive investigation into McGorry and her subsequent resignation.
Under the terms of the union agreement governing principals, high school principals are required to work 226 days a year.
McGorry worked only 182 days during the 2011-12 school year, the last full year she worked for the district. She worked 233 days the previous year, seven days more than required.
"There were some legitimate reasons for her absences from school, and we did provide additional administrative support during that time frame," Superintendent Tom Brennan said this week.
West Side school board member John Avard said he remembers McGorry being off the job for health reasons, but he doesn't know the particulars or even what year that was.
"Regardless of the industry you're in, people have personnel issues that arise," Avard said. "There's various circumstances that do arise. As long as they're justifiable, we have to work with people."
McGorry was placed on paid leave shortly after the 2012-13 school year began. In January, she resigned the position she had held since 2007, although she will be paid until the end of the current school year. Her resignation followed a lengthy investigation, and school officials have refused to divulge the findings of the probe, citing personnel policies and law.
Her principal certification remains valid, according to the New Hampshire Department of Education.
Brennan said a principal can be out of work for various reasons, including illness and medical or family leave. School officials denied right-to-know requests by the New Hampshire Union Leader for the date of each day McGorry worked, the hours worked and reasons submitted when she didn't work.
"Providing this much detail would allow the public to discover sensitive personal and confidential information about these employees, such as their health status and private family matters," Brennan wrote in response to a Union Leader request.
"We believe that the public's interest to know his sensitive information does not override the privacy interest of the employees involved," he wrote.
McGorry's lawyer, Andru Volinsky, said he did not know about the absences.
"I probably wouldn't answer (why) if I knew," Volinsky said.
Brennan said school district policy calls for a replacement to step in if a building principal is going to be off the job for five days or more. A recent change to the policy requires the school board to be apprised of the absence, but Brennan said he's not sure if that provision was in effect last year.
Principals receive 1½ sick days for each month they are on the job. Under the terms of the principal union agreement, McGorry could not accumulate more than 15 days in a given year and 120 days throughout her time on the job.

There's something mysterious, even menacing, about the Rolls-Royce Wraith. This is the manufacturer's "evil" car, a spokesman tells me. How often is a product promoted with that association? A hint of the noir might be a more accurate description. It's a dramatic automobile, not a shrinking violet; that's the theatre that comes with a Rolls-Royce. As the garage doors open, you expect a swirl of fog to descend and the Hound of the Baskervilles to howl. In this context, the Wraith – a long, elegantly meaty coupé – is what Dracula drives at the weekends. It's a caddish, rakish, fabulously modern take on a classic – and it's unlike anything I've driven before.
My rendezvous with this ethereal GT took place in Vienna, that most aristocratic of cities, the capital of opera and masked balls. I checked into the neoclassical Palais Coburg, once the seat of the Saxe-Coburg family and now a luxury hotel of unparalleled discretion, rarely visited by guests below billionaire status. For me, they made an exception. While the staff would never dream of revealing the names of their patrons, some exhaustive digging revealed Yoko Ono is a regular.
It was built in 1840 upon the Braunbastel, Vienna's old defensive wall, which is to be found when visiting the wine cellar. And this is the cellar to beat all cellars. It's valued at over £20m, putting it among the top three caves in Europe.
No stranger to the high life, Charles Rolls would certainly have approved. Gentleman, playboy, racer, pilot and blue-sky thinker, he craved innovation. He was the first man in England to own an aeroplane. He was also the first Briton to be killed at the yoke, aged just 32. The £235,000 Wraith, it's said, embodies his spirit more than any other Rolls from the last half-century. The chaps at Goodwood have certainly created their most powerful machine yet: 624bhp with 590lb/ft of torque. It needs it, given its size (5.27 metres long, 2 metres wide) and weight (2,360kg unladen). This is not a sports car, nor is it an alternative to a limo. It's almost impossible to pigeonhole, and that's part of its charm.
Before driving the car across the mountainous Tyrol the next morning, it was time to dine at the invitation of one of the finest young chefs in the country. Silvio Nickol's intimate restaurant, located in the cellar of the Palais Coburg, has won two Michelin stars. The fivecourse degustation menu included salmon carpaccio served on nitro-frozen sauerkraut; a forest scene of mushroom-shaped duck liver next to what looked exactly like moss and birch bark but was actually spinach, chocolate and mushrooms; and mashed banana with banana ice cream, sprinkled with passion fruit pips and ground lapsang souchong. It was so good I had Nickol sign my menu.
Following such a rich and inventive dinner and a night's stay in one of the Palais Coburg's 165 square metre suites, one is perfectly conditioned to climb aboard the Wraith.
Despite the mathematical girth, it actually looks quite trim thanks to some very clever design, like the stainless steel door handle that stretches back from below the A-pillar. From there, the car appears to taper like the stern of a J-class yacht. The split-level bodywork, especially when ordered in two-tone paint, compresses the shape. The suicide doors (they open the "wrong" way), which were the first things the designers agreed upon, lend a great sense of occasion every time you get in and keep you on the lookout for highwaymen.
The "fastback" shape, with its wide hips and swollen arches, gives the car muscle. Even the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, atop the recessed grille, is canted forward a few degrees for extra sense of purpose. It's not aggressively athletic, but you can tell it packs a punch. Like Roger Bannister in brogues, you still wouldn't have taken him on in a sprint.
As well as nautical references, there were two vintage motors among the pictures on the studio mood board that were particularly influential: Pinin Farina's 1948 Cisitalia 202, a long-nosed short-back round-bodied coupé that's in the MoMA's permanent collection in New York, and RR's own Silver Dawn from the following year; a tall, stately four-door with flared wheel arches and a trunk bulge at the back.
The interior is reminiscent of the Rolls-Royce Ghost, the car on which this is based. The leather, as soft as Devonshire cream, is the finest you'll find in any car, and the carpets are so thick you could lose smaller passengers in them. Adding a sense of chintzy fun to the options list is the "Starlight Headliner": 1,340 celestial fibre-optic lights in the roof that will prove horribly bling for some tastes but looks rather spectacular if you're in the rear seats.
None of the buttons on the dashboard are marked – text is inelegant – leading to a fascia that's opulent but unfussy. Instead, you brush buttons with your finger and the LCD screen, which can be hidden when not in use, reminds you what they do before you press them. To guide you through the infotainment system there's a BMW iDrive touchpad. In fact, a lot of the science is lifted from the 7-series but Rolls-Royce's execution allows you to forget that. After all, with so much room for bespoke customisation – RR encourages it – your Wraith can be as unique as your fingerprint.
Elsewhere, it couldn't be simpler. There's an oldschool column shift: reverse, neutral, drive. There's no paddle-shift, no suspension options, no sport button. This car is a private butler on wheels who goes unseen but is always there.
The winding roads are carpeted in a thin layer of fog as I cruise through Tyrol, letting the car do the work. Using Satellite Aided Transmission first developed by the BMW F1 team, the car knows when a corner is up ahead, judges your speed and selects which gear is best suited. Here's how you drive it: slow into corners, fast out. Try to drive it like a Ferrari FF – four seats, same price, totally different character – and it'll heave around like an old drunk. Brake early and in a straight line, steer it with your fingertips, make it as effortless as possible and the car will reward you.
I stepped into the Wraith thinking it was a Bentley Continental GT Speed rival. After all, when comparing the figures – weight, horsepower, torque, speed (though the Wraith is limited to 155mph, it's just 0.2 seconds off the Bentley's mesmerising 0-62 time) – it's right in the same postcode. But, in fact, the Wraith is other-worldly. It wafts, it's imperial, it's not at the races.
While the Conti sounds like the apocalypse when you open its 12 cylinders (although in this case the Four Horsemen are dressed in Savile Row tailoring), the Wraith is almost silent. It means speed is imperceptible; road noise is just enough to remind you there are other people there. The sensation is not one of travel, it's of the world coming to you. This is the way Rolls-Royce's clientele expect it.

Germantown — Just as the use of technology continues to evolve in society, the Germantown School District is working to improve how teachers and students use technology in and outside the classroom.
In an Aug. 11 presentation to the school board, Technology and Assessment Specialist Scott Oftedahl walked through a preliminary draft of a districtwide technology plan that outlines the district's initiatives relating to technology use over the course of the next several years. The integration of usage of Google apps has already occurred, but Oftedahl said there are a lot more developments to come through the 2016-17 school year.
"One key piece of this is more collaboration to plan integration of digital citizenship activities (and) guidance to students on how to be using them appropriately in the classroom," Oftedahl explained.
The plan proposes the integration of more options for students to learn, create and share their work, and encourages teachers to use mobile devices to provide immediate feedback on assignments and assessments. It references a movement toward "anytime, anywhere" learning such as online course content and discussion forums.
"(There will be) more learning options for students, more learning resources that will be available 24/7," Oftedahl said. "We are encouraging teachers to convert from print format to digital format so students can use devices any time of day to access (the information)."
The issue of where the devices will come from is still being discussed, as Oftedahl said there are challenges involved with encouraging students to bring their own devices to school.
"The bring your own device program brings up more problems than we could ever solve," said board member Brian Medved. " I don't know that we could ever implement a perfect policy to have a bring your own device."
While he said he understands the expense of the idea, Medved said he would much rather see the district move toward a one-to-one policy in which the district provides devices to students.
While a decision has yet to be made about the devices themselves, Oftedahl said changes to occur during the 2014-15 school year include the overlay of technology into the curriculum as a tool for learning and additional instruction for teachers on how to effectively use technology in and outside the classroom to encourage what Oftedahl referred to as digital citizenship.

Scott Steiner
Real Name
Scott Rechsteiner
Date of Birth
July 29, 1962
Place of Birth
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.
January 25, 2004
With Ric Flair in his corner, Triple H was successfully able to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Scott Steiner at No Way Out 2003.
February 23, 2003
While making an appearance at the Comic Con event in southern California, Scott Steiner was asked about his relationship with WWE. He stated that the company has tried to get him to sign a Legends contract in the past. However, Steiner revealed that he did not sign the deal because his lawyers advised him against doing such a thing because WWE would basically own his name.
August 9, 2014
A website called Sport Rich List is claiming that Scott Steiner has a net worth of approximately $4.4 million, which instantly caused wrestling fans to wonder about the legitimacy of that claim, as the former WWE star has not collected a big salary in quite some time. There are those that believe that he is suing TNA because he is hoping to cash in a big pay day.
March 21, 2014
To generate even further interest in his promotion, Booker T is calling upon an old friend for a show next month. At the Reality of Wrestling show on April 19, Scott Steiner will be making a special appearance. It seems unlikely that the former WCW champion would be wrestling that night, but he will be in attendance in Houston to meet the fans.
March 12, 2014
While he has stepped away from the spotlight quite a bit, the civil lawsuit between TNA and Scott Steiner is still an ongoing thing. A judge in Nashville has decided to postpone things from March until November. For those wondering, that is the reason why Steiner has been rather quiet online for the past year. He wants to avoid any further trouble.
March 2, 2014
Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner were on board the same plane recently, as the trio joined other wrestlers at the Alamo City Comic Con.
October 25, 2013
Since he has one of the most impressive physiques in professional wrestling, an industry filled with well toned bodies, Scott Steiner has been asked for years about his workout program, so the former WCW star released a fitness DVD, which teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced level people.
January 17, 2012
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a match that was slightly held in higher regards than a filler match, Goldust and Cody Rhodes, who worked under his Stardust gimmick again, defeated Curtis Axel, who was sporting a ridiculous looking singlet, and Ryback. The match was designed to highlight the Stardust character. Since there was a little bit of action after the match, there is a chance that WWE could be continuing this feud.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE had the Shield win convincingly against Evolution. Batista and Randy Orton were the first two performers to be eliminated from the main event match at Payback 2014, but both provided interference for Triple H after their eliminations. After taking a brutal beating, Roman Reigns picked up the win for his team. Many expected Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins to be eliminated during the match, but WWE opted to give them a dominant ending.
June 2, 2014
In a match designed to be the buffer between the two main event features at Payback 2014, Paige successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Alicia Fox via submission. Afterwards, Alicia continued her story line of going crazy whenever things do not go well for her. The audience reacted more to the post match antics than the actual match.
June 2, 2014
In a segment filled with plenty of interference from Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso, Luke Rowan and Erick Harper, John Cena was able to defeat Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match at Payback 2014 after Cena put Wyatt through a big black box and covered him with an even heavier box. Rumors have it that WWE will be continuing this feud and something could trigger that on Monday Night Raw this week.
June 2, 2014
At Payback 2014, Wade Barrett successfully defended the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Rob Van Dam after picking up the pin fall victory, thanks to the Bull Hammer. The performers placed some doubt in that finish when it appeared that Barrett had injured his arm while smashing into the corner post after RVD ducked away from the move outside the ring.
June 1, 2014
In a glorified squash match at Payback 2014, Alexander Rusev defeated Big E Langston via submission to continue his push up the ladder in WWE. He was able to slap on the camel clutch after delivering a big kick to Langston. Afterwards, he held the submission move on for a short period of time before Lana instructs him to let go. Rusev should be placed into a new feud this week.
June 1, 2014
In a match designed by WWE to accelerate the split between the brothers, Curtis Axel and Ryback defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the second match of Payback 2014. Ryback picked up the pin fall victory for his team after delivering the Shell Shock to Rhodes. Afterwards, Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner for himself.
June 1, 2014
Despite being in the airplane spin for quite a few rotations, Sheamus was able to capture the victory over Antonio Cesaro, who had Paul Heyman with him at ringside, at Payback 2014 by surprising his opponent with a small package. With the win, Sheamus retains the United States Heavyweight Championship and will more than likely be placed in another feud by WWE tomorrow.
June 1, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
After suffering a loss at the last pay per view, Bray Wyatt needed a victory over John Cena at Extreme Rules 2014, and he got just that. Wyatt received a heavy dose of interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but Cena still managed to overcome those odds. As Cena was walking out of the cage, a kid showed up and began singing, which provided enough distraction for Wyatt to hit his Sister Abigail finisher and walk out for the victory.
May 4, 2014
In the most anticipated match at Extreme Rules 2014, the Shield defeated Evolution. Roman Reigns picked up the pin fall victory over Batista after a Superman punch and a spear. Triple H, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought through the audience before Rollins took out all four of them by hurling himself from the elevated stands.
May 4, 2014
The first title change at Extreme Rules 2014 took place when Wade Barrett defeated Big E Langston to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Barrett picked up the pin fall victory after delivering a running Bull Hammer finisher on Langston. A highlight of the pay per view was Langston spearing Barrett from the ring to the floor.
May 4, 2014

Names are shooting around, and the masses tout a new one every day it seems... one day its Vilma, the next its Dunta Robinson, the next its DJ Williams - however from where Im sitting, the most accurate choice will be D: None of the above.
At this stage of the game anything coming out of team headquarters is pretty much guaranteed to be a lie and a smoke screen. They have to realize that a lot of what is going to be choice at 12 will come down to what goes on before 12... What elite players will be picked, what wacky bust pick will be made by Al Davis
Rarely at this late stage of draft season has so much is yet to be nailed down. Will USC WR Mike Williams be allowed by the Supreme Court into the draft? Will Texas WR Roy Williams go top 10? Will 3 QB's go off the board before 12? Will teams get scared of the recent shoulder surgery rumors of USC DE Keniche Udeze and take him off their board? Will teams like the Giants, Redskins, Browns or others trade up, and how will that affect the board? At this point, its all up in the air.
With all that in mind these are the DraftDaddy odds on who the JETS will select when the rubber meets the road on Saturday.
4-1: DeAngelo Hall - CB - Virginia Tech
I have to believe this is one of the top guy's on TB's board - and for good reason. Hall wants to shine under the big spotlight and fears absolutely no one-on-one matchups. With the Jets coaching staff additions of defensive back gurus Donnie Henderson and Paul Gruber the team would love to bring in a guy like Hall and develop him into the shut down playmaker that every elite team needs. In addition the JETS could employ a double-punt returner formation, which would force the other team to kick into Mike Westoff's dangerous scheme, or kick it out of bounds. The problem with Hall to the Jets isn't if the Jets will want him, its if he will drop to 12 (not likely) and whether GM Terry Bradway is willing to leapfrog a couple picks to make it happen. In light of his last two tradeups, plus cryptic statements when asked directly of this scenario, a small draft day trade up would not surprise us that much.
7-1: Vince Wilfork - DT Miami
Again, similar to Hall in the sense that he will probably not be there, as he will likely be the first man off the board at his position, a top 10 pick. However the general logic behind the Jets picking another DT is as follows: Jason Ferguson is one of the highest paid DT's in the league, and he's a free agent next year. Josh Evans is one pee test away from his second consecutive lifetime drug ban. Chester McGlockton is retired (thank goodness). This basically leaves last year's pick DeWayne Robertson, James "Tank" Reed and a few others who arent even worth mentioning. DT is a very tough position to fill with free agency or late round picks so if you have to fill it, might as well fill it right. The foundation of many Super Bowl caliber teams has been a fearsome front four and with another dominant 1-gap run stuffing/pass rushing DT along side DRob, the opposing OL will have more trouble figuring out who to double team. I know fans will complain dearly with another D-Line pick but the fact of the matter is that the corp is one of this team's few out and out strengths and the addition of one more impact player could make it a super unit. History is kind to this selection as the last three 12 overall picks were defensive tackles. Besides Wilfork other candidates this draft include Randy Starks out of Maryland and Marcus Tubbs out of Texas.
8-1: Trade down
The Jets could see a top flight QB such as Miami (OH) QB Ben Roethlisberger or NC States Phillip Rivers fall into their laps and work some sort of deal to move out of the slot go and deeper into the round. Its possible but unlikely that a team would move up to 12 for a WR (since there are many great ones to be had). If the above guys are gone and there's no one at 12 who absolutely shouldn't be there (such as Miami FS Sean Taylor or Miami TE Kellen Winslow) Bradway might be able to work a trade-down. That would be a very good thing for the Jets as in this draft some of the second and third round picks would have been first round picks last year. Also, the Jets used their second rounder in getting WR Justin McCareins from Tennessee and would love to get it back. Its a deep draft and there are legitimate studs to be had elsewhere in the round and elsewhere in the first day. No shame in stockpiling if there's nothing at 12 that's appealing.
9-1: Reggie Williams - WR Washington
If the above guys are gone and Bradway and friends feel that its too early to "reach" for a DT like Starks or Tubbs - this could very well be the pick. Teams from 13 to 18 are drooling after this kid, and with good reason. He's got a very real shot of becoming the next Terrell Owens, the guy who gets picked later than several prospects but three years later turns out to be the best of the bunch. He's 6-4 230 and runs a 4.4. When a guy like this makes it, he's literally uncoverable. He's a leader, he wants the ball and he wants to win. His ego is big but with his skillsets, he will need it to be. A guy like this hits and his upside is he could easily be an All-Pro wide-receiver - unlike Mike Williams (who we also love) Reggie has that extra gear to break tackles and then take it to the house. Teams love his explosion, route running and Yards After Catch potential - all of which are West Coast Offense WR staples.
I can already hear the criticisms: The Jets need defense, our WRs are fine
.ect. However, there are several factors to consider: First, is the concussion history of Wayne Chrebet. Frankly it would be a surprise to me if Wayne played much longer in the league - once a guy starts getting concussions like that, it becomes easier and easier to get another with each incident. The NFL is a contact league and he plays in the same division as Rodney Harrision. Another factor is the emergence and injury of Jonathan Carter - will his speed be the same? And although the Jets did acquire McCareins, the last 3 Super Bowl champions won starting 3 WRs, exploiting the nickel back matchup at key times Santana Moss as a slot reciever? Drool. Also, its worth noting that Moss wants a new contract and drafting Reggie Williams gives the Jets both options and leverage in the negotiations. Not to mention that the Jets' best asset is QB Chad Pennington and it got ugly last year watching him operate without legitimate weapons. Injuries happen all the time and the worst that can happen is the team will finally have an amazing WR corp. The final justification for this pick is he's an elite prospect who probably would have gone top 5 in 2005 had he stayed in another year. If the board shakes out with the elite DT and CB prospects gone by 12, Reggie Williams would be the best value at the slot.
11-1: Dunta Robinson - CB- South Carolina
Obviously the secondary needs a playmaker and at least in workouts, Dunta(Pr:DON-TAY) Robinson really fits the bill. He's blindingly fast and strong, loves to hit. He won't make a ton of INTS and in many ways a similar player to two-timing-using his wife as a bargaining tool-Vikings CB-Antoine Winfield. However I would venture that Robinson is more fast than he is quick (his three cone drill was good but not amazing - USC WR Mike Williams ran it faster at 6-5 235) and his "hip switch" isn't really fluid enough to allow him to be a true shut-down corner in the league. As a FS or a number two guy, we like him a lot more but you don't draft guys like that at 12. Its likely a voluminous smoke screen coming from the Jets on this guy.
12-1: Either Miami LB (Jonathan Vilma or DJ Williams)
A case can be made that if the board doesn't shake out in the Jets favor regarding elite prospects, the player that the team would target would play LB for the University of Miami. There is two things wrong with this theory: One, is that the Jets have revamped their LB corp - with Victor Hobson, Sam Cowart and recently signed former Raider, Eric Barton (also, adding DE John Abraham as LB in the 3-4) whoever the Jets draft at the position would be relegated to bench duty for this season, maybe far longer. Two, is that neither of these guys are elite prospects worth the 12 slot. Without getting into it too deeply Vilma has size/speed questions and Williams has instincts/character questions. Neither are really ELITE prospects - if the Jets were picking at 22 instead of 12 we could have the talk about "looking past" certain factors and taking a shot at one of these guys. However with Bradways job on the line, and the linebackers looking MUCH better with the addition of Barton and the cuts of the dinosaurs, the chances are slim to none that the team takes a Miami linebacker at 12. Its my opinion that this is the biggest smokescreen of the pre-draft season - that the Jets would actually draft LB at 12. I salute the guys at Weeb Ewbank Hall for pulling the wool over the eyes of most of the mock draft world.
Forced to choose a single outcome to Saturday's mess I'd lay my money on the trade down at 8-1. As much as I want DeAngelo Hall in green its too good of a fit for Jets for it to actually happen. Nothing comes that easily for Bradway and Co. Wilfork will go top 10. Only 2 QB's go off the board and someone will want the third. No, trading down is my prediction. Something along the lines of 12 to the Dolphins (for Ben Roethlesberger) then the Jets use the # 20 pick on DT Marcus Tubbs and the second rounder on a sleeper CB like USCs Will Poole, Arkansas Batman Carroll or Tusculums Ricardo Coclough. Another possibility is the Jets trading with the Niners at 16 who will need to leap frog the WR-needy Bills or Bucs to get Reggie or Mike Williams. Jets fans will bemoan the 5th first round defensive line pick in 4 years but hardcore fans see the wisdom.
For all this speculation about the first round pick, Jets fans really shouldn't worry about their team's performance in the first round. Bradway has never busted with his first pick like many other GMs. He's taken Moss, DRob and DE Bryan Thomas (for whom the jury is still out and even at even at his worst will not be a Ron Dayne-level bust). As a Jets fan Im far more concerned with the 3 comp picks in the 7th then with who the team drafts on Saturday. If you could combine Bradways first day prowess with Giants GM Ernie Accorsi's second day prowess NY would have one hell of a drafting GM.
One last prediction: There's going to be a lot of trading up and down prior to the Jets pick and each time that happens the clock resets and the new team gets their full 15 minutes to decide. Due to this fact, the Jets won't actually likely pick at 1:50 or 2PM, but more like at around 2:40 to 3:00.

Albion is a computer role-playing game released by Blue Byte Software in 1995 for the PC. It was originally released in German, then translated to English for the rest of Europe.The game was technically unimpressive, but featured an imaginative and rich setting combining fantasy and science-fiction elements in an original, if at times slightly confusing way. The story centres around the adventures of Tom Driscoll, a pilot for a multinational corporation vast enough to excavate entire planets, as he crash lands on one such planet. This world, dubbed "the Nugget" by the corporation and called Albion by its inhabitants, turns out to be full of life and inhabited by an alien sentient species as well as Celtic humans. It's also teeming with literal magic. Tom and his fellow crash-landed Terran Rainer Hofstedt set out to find their spaceship, which surely isn't going to excavate the planet to pieces now that it turns out it's actually full of life... right!?Albion includes a complex back-story and detailed descriptions of the game world. Talking to the right people will reveal much information about topics relevant to the area you're currently in, including their cultures, philosophies, history, and many many more. Only little of this is actually relevant to the plot.The game features an interesting mix of 2D and 3D perspectives: while most indoor and outdoor places are seen from two Three-Quarters View, all dungeon crawling has to be done in 3D. Most of these dungeons lack light sources, forcing the party to rely on rather short-lived torches to get anywhere, making dungeon exploration downright scary. This is done especially well in the very first planetside dungeon: while exploring the decidedly unassuming cellar of their host house, the main characters suddenly get stranded in almost total darkness, armed with nothing but daggers and knives, hearing only the growls of resident feral kangaroos out to get them. You get treated to some Survival Horror right there, if only for a few minutes. (Unless you've found a gun in the prologue. Then you can go Doom on them right there)Not to be confused with the setting of Fable, the miniseries by Alan Moore, or any of the other dozens of fictional and non-fictional uses of the name.

You have flatfeet when the arch on the inside of your feet is flattened, allowing your entire foot to touch the floor when you stand up.
A common and usually painless condition, flatfeet may occur when the arches don't develop during childhood. In other cases, flatfeet may be caused by an injury or from the simple wear-and-tear stresses of age.
Flatfeet can sometimes cause problems in your ankles and knees because the condition can force your ankles to turn inward and this throws off the alignment of your legs. If you aren't experiencing any pain, no treatment is usually necessary for flatfeet.
A normal arch leaves a footprint similar to the one depicted on the left, while flatfeet typically produces a footprint such as the one pictured on the right....
Although many people have no signs or symptoms associated with flatfeet, some people experience:
When to see a doctor
A flat foot is normal in infants and toddlers, because the foot's arch hasn't yet developed. Most people's arches develop throughout childhood, but some people never develop arches. This is a normal variation in foot type, and people without arches may or may not have problems.
Arches can also fall over time. Years of wear and tear can weaken the posterior tibial tendon, which runs along the inside of your ankle, from above your ankle to your arch.
A normal arch leaves a footprint similar to the one depicted on the left, while flatfeet typically produces a footprint such as the one pictured on the right....
Risk factors
Factors that can increase your risk of flatfeet include:
Preparing for your appointment
If your feet are causing you significant pain, your family doctor may refer you to a doctor specializing in foot disorders (podiatrist), sports medicine or orthopedic surgery.
What you can do
You may also want to prepare a list answering the following questions:
What to expect from your doctor
Tests and diagnosis
Flatfeet usually can be diagnosed after the physical exam, but your doctor may want X-rays of your feet to help determine the cause of the problem.
Treatments and drugs
No treatment is necessary for flatfeet if you aren't experiencing any pain.
