The Cowboys returned to full pads today with a spirited workout that repeated some earlier points of emphasis. Turnovers, ball protection and the screen game got more reps, adding to the copious reps we've already seen on these points. The offense and defense worked on plays inside the offense's ten yard line.
Individually, we're seeing some jockeying. Some younger players who have been slow off the mark are starting to move. Others appear to be plateauing or hitting a wall. Many of these players will take a back seat to the many free agent veterans who will formally sign their contracts and rejoin the action tomorrow.
The practice began with an extended kickoff drill. Coach Joe DeCamillis led the longest kickoff return drill of the summer. The philosophy on returns appears to have changed somewhat. The formation had five men across the midfield line with two more just inside the outside blockers and five yards behind the line. A second pair of blockers deploys about ten yards to each side of the return man, just inside the yard markers. These deep two form the wedge.
In contrast to past approaches, the forward seven go forward at the kickoff, trying to blunt the coverage unit's charge on the defense's side of the 50. The back two then drop back and join the two-man wedge to form a wall to either side. It looks like a delayed punt return drill when run properly. It worked on a couple of occasions, setting up Akwasi Owusu-Ansah for two long returns.
After positional drills, the offense and defense scrimmaged 11-on-11. Stephen McGee got first run with the rest of the first team offense and made some plays against the 2nd defensive unit. McGee threw a crisp deep out to Kevin Ogletree for a long gain up the left sideline. The followed it with a well executed bootleg pass for John Phillips for another first down.
McGee then showed his youth, holding on to a second bootleg too long. He led his tight end towards a linebacker who almost intercepted the pass. McGee recovered smartly on the next play. He got solid max protection and completed a bomb to Ogletree, who ran a deep diagonal from the right flanker spot and got well behind Barry Church. Ogletree caught the ball in stride and was tackled at the defense's five.
The team broke into positional drills and the offense again worked out a half-dozen different screens. The receivers, tight ends and backs all got their versions of a screen called.
When the team broke into unit work Jason Garrett again supervised the wide receiver drills for the still absent Jimmy Robinson. Combination routes were again the order of the day, with post-corner-post routes, slants and gos, slant-up-and-outs, and slant-and-out routes being run. Raymond Berry would have approved.
The team then worked on the daily turnover circuit, bringing back the set of drills from day one, where the defense worked on punching the ball, stripping it from the quarterback, intercepting it and recovering fumbles on the bounce. The backs and receivers worked ball custody with the long bungee cable balls.
Dallas then ran a split field drill, with the receivers and corners going 1-on-1 while the other players ran a 9-on-9 drill. This was the Sean Lee drill, as number 50 stuffed several inside and edge runs.

Very Impressed
Reviewed: 27 November 2013 by HappilyAwesome , a Straight Going Steady Male
We bought this product as part of an offer on Lovehoney, persuaded by the fact it's made from organic extracts rather than a mix of synthetic products. The packaging is understated and pretty classy, not something we were embarrassed to leave on display.
This oil is far and away the best smelling massage oil that I've ever come across, (Not that I'm a professional masseuse but I've come across a few different brands.) The coconut scent comes across without being overpowering, which really adds to the atmosphere.
Also, contrary to some of the other reviews on here, we found that a little lotion goes a long way. After using it for around 5 full body massages and we're only about 1/3 of the way through the bottle. It dries well without being sticky too, something that we've found with previous lotions.
Very impressed with this lotion, once we're done with this bottle we'll be trying other products in the Sliquid Organics range.
- Pros
- The scent, the packaging and the product itself.
- Cons
- Nothing to complain about.
- Bottom line
- A really nice oil which steps up the intimacy in massages

Tranquility indeed!
Reviewed: 16 July 2010 by Peachy keen
Having used Sliquid Organics lubricant before, I was glad to try the massage lotion. The bottle was nicely presented, and the label looked sophisticated. I left it on my bedside table and no one even noticed!
I think my favourite thing about the oil is the smell. It's just lovely! I've previously used massage oil which was meant to have a vanilla smell but instead smelt very herbally. The Tranquility Massage Lotion however smells strongly of citrus, which made it a lot nicer to use.
Now onto usage!
It's quite a thin oil, so the other half and I found that it was pretty easily absorbed into the skin and as such we had to use a considerable amount more than with the previous oil we'd tried.
Once we had enough on it did last a long time, and made for a very sensual massage for us both, which was heightened by the lovely smell.
After use, we showered together to remove the oil, after which we both felt we had oil residue on us – although we had gotten a little... sidetracked in the shower so I'm sure the residue was due to a lack of thorough cleaning, rather than due to the product itself.
Having to use an excessive amount of the oil did mean the bottle was rather sticky afterwards, and I found it difficult to clean.
Whilst the oil has a few shortcomings, the other half and I had an amazing night when we used it, and the smell is lovely, so if I feel the need to splurge on some nice massage oil, without a doubt this is the stuff I'll get.
- Pros
- Smell, bottle design.
- Cons
- Oil didn't last.
- Bottom line
- Smells amazing!

Jim Hodges Audio Books: A Review
Posted on Dec 10 2012 in General by admin
I think I can say that I am now officially an audio book fan! Ask my friends and family; I am not a big electronics person. Give me a good paperback or hardback book any day. I want to feel the pages… hear them crinkle… smell that great new book smell.
However, as any homeschooling mom will tell you, the life we lead doesn't leave much time for kicking back with a good book. That's why I was so excited to accept an offer recently to review three selections from Jim Hodges Audio Books in MP3 format. The selection of audio book choices is wonderful, with rich history just ready to be actively learned. Their extensive collection includes Christian selections, yesterday's classics, WW II classic heroes brought to life, and one I cannot wait to try out—Old Time Radio! JHAB offers free download sample chapters on many of its products, so you know exactly what you're getting.
By far, the crowning glory for JHAB is their selection of G.A. Henty historical novel audiobooks--they boast the largest selection on audio anywhere! You can see the list here—and don't miss the link to the left for accompanying vocabulary lists ($3 extra). One of the audio books I chose this time was a Henty novel, The Cat of Bubastes. My son was scheduled to read this for his ancient literature course, and—can I tell you honestly—he was NOT at all excited about the idea. Henty, wildly popular among homeschoolers, wrote more than a century ago. The language demands attention and is conspicuously absent of words like "epic" or "dude"—and of activities like airsoft or soccer—all things that very much interest my fourteen-year-old boy!
By the time the discs arrived, my son had completed the first four or five chapters of the book. He listened to the rest on his laptop. This mid-story switch made a wonderful review opportunity for a comparison between the two venues. Hands down, he preferred the audio edition, even though he is an avid reader of all kinds of books. Studies have shown that many children absorb and retain more by listening while actively doing something such as a puzzle, Legos®, or drawing. This, for me, was a huge selling point, and I plan to find more Henty audio books for him to listen to while engaged in other ways.
The other books I reviewed were Stories of the Pilgrims from the "Yesterday's Classics" series and God's Mighty Hand, Providential Occurrences in World History from the "Overtly Christian" line. Both were fantastic as well. Stories of the Pilgrims suited my nine-year-old perfectly; she absolutely loved the expression Mr. Hodges uses to make the characters come alive, and she loved hearing aloud the names of those we've studied about. Hodges read all three of the books himself, and my daughter and I found the inflection and expression he used to be fun, exciting, and soothing all at the same time—sort of like listening to a loving parent reading to you at bedtime. (My son said he could have done without the different voices, but again, he is a teenager!)
All in all, I will definitely be ordering from Jim Hodges Audio Books again. The MP3 format will play on computer CD drives, DVD players, or any MP3-compatible CD player; it can also be downloaded to an iPod® or other mobile device. I suggest the digital download options for a somewhat better rate. (The discs average $25, and digital downloads are about $18.) They will be a great tool as well as a huge blessing to you as a homeschooling parent!

At the top of Outside's list -- mine, too, as I've reported before -- is Liftopia (http://www.liftopia.com), an online agency that posts and sells reduced-price and discounted lift tickets at hundreds of ski centers around the world. It doesn't have good deals for all of them, at all times, but it's a good place to start looking for lift tickets that won't break your budget. A separate release "reminds" you that Liftopia sells gift cards, a useful hint if you don't ski yourself, but need a good gift idea for any avid skier on your holiday list.
For serious ski enthusiasts, Outside recommends one of the many season ski passes available. Its number one recommendation is still the Epic Pass, covering unlimited skiing at a dozen top Western U.S. and three European centers for $729, even though the Epic website says that it has already sold out for the current season. Figure on buying early, next spring, for the 2014/2015 season. Meanwhile, the Epic folks still have lots of more limited western multi-center passes (http://www.snow.com/epic-pass/passes/epic-pass.aspx).
If you prefer eastern skiing, take a look at The New England Pass (http://www.newenglandpass.com) covering Sunday River, Sugarloaf and Loon, with lots of options ranging from Bronze at $515 for unlimited weekday access to Gold at $1,210 for all-season unlimited access, with discounts for youth and seniors, including a $30 Gold pass for super-seniors age 80 or over and special deals for college students. Also check the Double Down Pass, covering access to Mount Snow and Stratton, with lots of options ranging from s restricted Sunday-only pass at $499 to a full-season transferrable pass at Mount Snow for $3,000. Lots of individual eastern areas also sell local season passes.
If you want to combine a ski vacation with a visit to Europe, the British Post Office posted a report comparing Europe's top 22 ski resorts. Although written from a British perspective, the comparisons should be reasonably accurate for U.S. and Canadian visitors, as well. Cost data, which I've converted from pounds, cover a six-day ski pass, ski and boot rental, some ski school and the cost of a daily lunch for one person:
-- The least expensive areas are both in Eastern Europe: Bansko in Bulgaria, at $400 per person, and Kranjksa Gora in Slovenia, at about $520.
-- The least expensive resort in Italy is Livigno, near the Swiss border northeast of Milan, at about $560; the least expensive complex in Austria is Ellmau, close to the German border, southeast of Munich; and the least expensive resort in France is Morzine, in Haute Savoy just east of Geneva, at $640. The most expensive is Wengen, in Switzerland's Jungfrau region, at $1,025.
-- The list also shows "best value" locations, again led by Bransko, Kranjska Gora, Livigno, and Ellmau. Other good value resorts include Morzine; Sestieri, Cervina and Selva in Italy; plus Ruka in Finland and Soldeu in Andorra. In somewhat different order, the "best for families" categories include mostly these same centers.
By contrast, the seven top North American ski areas tend to be more expensive. In Colorado, for example, it's $850 at Winter Park and $1,300 at Breckenridge. Weekly cost differences as high as $300 might well offset the higher airfares to Europe.
Another advantage of European skiing: Many centers are located in small and midsize cities, with a broad spectrum of accommodations and restaurants, rather than in price-gouging self-contained resorts.
If you were wondering what business the British Post Office has doing ski comparisons, that semi-public operation provides a laundry list of financial and travel services in addition to running the nation's retail post office locations.

|I apologize if this is a duplicate post - I posted a week ago, but I can't find it on the forum! Here is my dilemma: we are transitioning from one house to another. My current garden holds several peonies we planted 4 years ago, which have special meaning to us. They flowered the first year & have grown & become more beautiful each year. Now, we are building a new house which won't be ready till next Sept or Oct. Our current house isn't sold, so I haven't moved the plants. I have no good, safe place to plant them at the new house, and don't want to move them numerous times. Can I take them up now & keep them in my refrigerator indefinitely? Doing so now would mean they will miss an entire growing season next year! Or do I (sadly) leave them here for the next owner to enjoy? In the end, it's more important to me that the plants live and thrive.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Do you have any friends that can babysit them in their garden until your garden is ready? That is what I did with many of my plants when I moved and the new house wasn't ready. I also had a large amount of loam dumped in a remote part of the new yard where I heeled in a lot of plants.

|Sue, thanks for the hints on how to find my previous posts. I just want to point out, though, that the one you found was NOT me!
Anyway, I have thought about putting the plants in my next door neighbor's garden. She is a great gardener, and would take good care of them. My biggest concern though is if I move them several times over the next year, will I stunt their growth?
thanks for any add'l advice
| In my opinion, if you move peony at the right time, that might hurt that much. If you carefully move them with soil at the roots, that might be better.
I have a suggestion, not sure if that is okay to you. I know some of the gardeners in my country have tree peony planted in a big plastic pot,with some little holes on the wall, and bury the pot in the soil. The environment is near the same with planting in the soil. When they need to sell the tree peony, it is very convenient to dig the pot out with little hurt to the plant. The other point is this method might limit the root's length and get a better lateral root system.

Perrigo's API business reports lower operating profits
1:29 AM MDT | August 19, 2013 | Deepti Ramesh
The active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) business of health-care products firm Perrigo (Allegan, MI) reports a 6.5% rise in sales in the company's fourth quarter, ended 29 June 2013, compared with the year-ago quarter, to $40.9 million. Operating profits for the API business decreased 42.8% in the fourth quarter, to $10 million. The API segment's fourth-quarter sales increased due primarily to the product mix, but it was offset by increased competition on specific products, Perrigo says. Fourth quarter margins in the API business were impacted by lower...

Bursar's Office
1098 T Tax Information
1098-T General Information
Form 1098-T is an IRS (Internal Revenue Service) form provided to students who enroll in classes at The University of Denver. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (TRA97) established education tax credits for taxpayers. For detailed information regarding these credits please consult IRS Publication 970 Tax Benefits for Education. The publication can be accessed at www.irs.gov. Form 1098-T supplies a portion of the information needed by taxpayers to claim the tax credits. By Federal law, this form needs to be mailed to the student by January 31 of each year. In addition, students are able to access the form online and print additional copies as necessary.
The University is required to collect your correct social security number (SSN) to file 1098-T information with the IRS. Annual reviews will be done by the University to check for student SSNs. If a student does not have an SSN on file, the University will ask the student to complete and return a form W-9S Request for Student's or Borrower's Social Security Number and Certification. W-9S forms can be found on the IRS website, www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9s.pdf.
Completed forms should be delivered to the Bursar's Office. Forms can be delivered in person, mailed via USPS or faxed to 303-871-4401.
Please note that not all of the boxes on the form 1098-T will contain numbers. Federal law requires The University of Denver to report either the amounts paid by students Box 1, or the amounts billed to students Box 2. The University of Denver has elected to report the amounts billed to students Box 2. We report the amounts billed on a calendar year basis. This means that tuition charges billed in December for the following Winter term will be reported in the calendar year they are billed, not the calendar year the classes are actually taken. The University of Denver will also report the amount of financial aid received that the student does not need to repay. This means that loans are not included in the reported financial aid amount. Financial aid will be reported on the 1098-T for the calendar year it is disbursed, not the year it is awarded.
The IRS has instructed universities to reduce the amount of billed charges by any tuition waiver proceeds. If you received any type of tuition waiver during the calendar year, you will see a reduction in the amount of charges reported in Box 2.
The information on the 1098-T in no way represents tax advice from the University. It is the responsibility of the taxpayer to determine eligibility for the credit. Please do not contact The University of Denver regarding your eligibility for educational tax credits.
Students who have elected electronic delivery will be emailed their form. Unless a student has consented to electronic delivery, the form 1098-T is mailed to the address The University of Denver had on file for the student on January 1, 2014. If the student has moved without correcting the mailing address with The University of Denver, s/he may not receive the form. Address information can be corrected through PioneerWeb.

Review published on 23/04/2012 © Sunday Herald
You dont have to say much more than "contest-winning pulled pork chilli" to get my lardy bits springing off the couch. Mad Men series three is paused at the point where Betty is torturing the kids and Im off for what should be a swift motorway journey. Almost simultaneously Joe has left the snooker hall mid pot and like me is bearing down rapidly on The Roxy 171.
By the time he bounds in the dirty work is already done. Ive ordered: one pulled pork chilli please, one of those burgers, and a tortizza whatever that is with chicken and chorizo and a chicken tagine. And Im now idly watching the female chef flipping and frying and heating and heaping in that tiny kitchen over there while the waitress is eating her tea at the bar and chatting away.
At the same time Im wondering whether that full-fat, full-screen telly hanging over the front door can ever be compatible with quality dining. Outside Italy anyway. Because in Italy, of course, the blaring telly is compulsory in many restaurants.
The answer to this question comes when the volume suddenly soars and every gritty detail of Barcelona v Real Madrid is blasted into the room in high-definition beauty. Were enjoying it and curiously there isnt much protest from the mixed tables of awkward couples looking like theyre on their first Match.com date, young women and even a few oldsters.
By then we have eaten the burger. A surprise. It doesnt take much to top the burger stakes in Glasgow these days and The Roxy 171 does it simply because the meat is full of flavour, well seasoned, tender and by that I mean its not a bullet hard patty of mince, and because it comes with freshly made coleslaw and a chunky skin-on potato salad. Its very good. OK, theres no sourdough or brioche bun but the plain bun here has what those trendy alternatives are often missing freshness.
On to the tortizza then. A crisp toasted tortilla with, um, pizza toppings. What can I say? Dry, crisp, and a pretty perfect edible platform for the gooey, tasty mix of cheese, chilli and chorizo. No complaints. In fact were pleasantly surprised.
And that contest-winning chilli? Assuming Im not the only person on the planet that watches cult TV show Man V Food then youll know that pulled pork is Americana heaven, shoulder, slow roasted to tenderness, pulled apart by hand, doused with spice and served in diners, dives and drive-ins all over the states. Here? Ah. I should have examined the small print of that award.
Apparently, were talking about a winner of the west ends chilli cookery competition and not the All Alabama Pulled Pork Olympiad. Im all for contests and even more for little bars and restaurants trumpeting their unique dishes but the taste? Lets just say Joe thinks its chicken. In fact hes so convinced that we have to have the waitress over to settle the argument. Um. Not much point then in producing your own pulled pork if its taste is swamped by the pretty crude, and way-over-heavy-with-beans chilli it is buried in. It also looked more like leg to me than shoulder.
Sadly, the chicken tagine isnt going to win any prizes either. Largely because it is far too obvious that the chopped chicken pieces and they are chicken this time have been added long after the sweet, chunky tagine vegetables were stewed in a separate pot. And no sign of a tagine as in the pointy dish either.
Does this mean The Roxy 171 is bad? Not at all. Full marks for being brave enough not to serve the same mind-numbingly dull menu that everyone else does.
If the pulled pork needs a bit more work and it certainly does the burgers were good and pubs that are more food than beer are probably-definitely the next big thing.

YSU ends the streak
September 23, 2012 - Dana Sulonen
I will update this more tomorrow, and for my full story, look in Sunday's Tribune, but the YSU Penguins defeated the UNI Panthers, 42-35 on Saturday night at Stambaugh Stadium.
This might go down as one of the most memorable games I have covered. It literally came down to the last second and had a wild finish.
Again, I'll update this tomorrow, but it's late and I'm on deadline.
Bottom line, YSU wins and is now 4-0 on the season.

Giddens, Hudson lacked aggression in rare chance to play
I'm not going to tell you I wasn't happy with the way J.R. Giddens and Lester Hudson played; I was. Both players did a solid job, providing good defense and (mostly) intelligent play. They brought energy, exuberance and enthusiasm, helping to cancel out the skill and experience lost to injury.
I just wish they'd both been more aggressive.
The two young guys' lack of aggression was likely caused by a dearth of confidence, which tends to happen when a player spends the first couple months of the season stapled firmly to the bench. (Or, in Lester's case, shuttling between the C's bench and the Maine Red Claws' starting lineup.)
Even so, I would have liked to see the two young players make the most of their opportunity by making more assertive plays.
Time after time, Giddens and Hudson showed hesitation out there. Giddens passed on a succession of wide open jumpers, shots he can certainly make, and clearly thought twice about putting up any shots whatsoever.
Hudson didn't make any strong moves to the hoop, content to dribble the ball east to west until a teammate worked open to run the offense. Well, that is, he didn't take the ball to the hoop until time was running down on the shot clock and he was forced to make a play… then — and only then — he blew by his defender and finished with a nice floater in the lane.
That's the frustrating thing about the young guys playing so meekly; I know they can both play so much better. Both were very good scorers in college, known as guys who filled it up in a variety of ways. Hudson was the second leading scorer in all of Division 1 college basketball last season; Giddens was his conference's player of the year and averaged over 16 points per game.
I know they're in the NBA now, that it's different playing against the length and athleticism of NBA defenders; I realize that. But both Hudson and Giddens are capable of doing more than they did last night, of being threats with the basketball rather than a designated swinger. (Swing pass, not a person who sleeps around, you sickos.)
I know how hard it is to maintain confidence when you never know when you're going to be yanked out of a ballgame: As a sophomore in high school, I never knew when I'd play 20 minutes or when I'd play only 5. Every time I made a bad play, I'd be given the hook and land my ass right back on the bench. My confidence slowly dwindled until, by the end of the season, I was only a shell of the player I was capable of being. All of a sudden, I was throwing turnovers I never should have, missing open jumpers I could make in my sleep, and failing to make plays off the dribble that would normally be so easy for me.
So I understand what Hudson and Giddens are going through; they want to succeed so badly, to impress Doc Rivers so much, that they failed to go onto the court and do what they do best… simply play basketball. Instead, they played tight, robotic hoops and actually ended up making far more mistakes than they would have if they'd just gone out there and played loose and thoughtlessly.
If they do get another chance to strut their stuff — and, with Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce both likely back for next game, they might not — I'd like to see Hudson and Giddens be far more willing to make their presences felt.
They both played solid games, and neither of them hurt the Celtics' cause… but they could have done more.
I know they could have done more.

Comments about Mens Pearl Izumi Fly Running Jackets:
Lightweight and loosk great, but not even close to water-risistant. Light rain pours through the sleeves as though cotton. The core area stays dry a little longer, but this jacket should not be advertised as water-resistant. Use it as a windbreaker (barely) or a light warmup jacket only.
