(12/10/2013) 1. Carbon concentrations hit 400ppm while the IPCC sets global carbon budget: For the first time since our appearance on Earth, carbon concentrations in the atmosphere hit 400 parts per million. The last time concentrations were this high for a sustained period was 4-5 million years ago when temperatures were 10 degrees Celsius higher. Meanwhile, in the slow-moving effort to curb carbon emissions, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) crafted a global carbon budget showing that most of the world's fossil fuel reserves must be left untouched if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change.
Reversing local extinction: scientists bring the northern bald ibis back to Europe after 300 years
(12/02/2013) The northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita), also called the hermit ibis or waldrapp, is a migratory bird. Once, the bald ibis lived in the Middle East, northern Africa and southern and central Europe, but due to hunting, loss of habitat and pesticide-use, the birds disappeared from most of these areas and is currently considered Critically Endangered. It became extinct in Europe 300 years ago; the bird is almost gone in Syria, with only a single individual recorded at the country's lone breeding site in 2013; and the only stronghold left is a small population of around 500 birds in Morocco. But now, a team of scientists from Austria is working to reestablish a self-sustaining, migratory population of bald ibis in Europe.
Scientists discover new cat species roaming Brazil
(11/27/2013) As a family, cats are some of the most well-studied animals on Earth, but that doesn't mean these adept carnivores don't continue to surprise us. Scientists have announced today the stunning discovery of a new species of cat, long-confused with another. Looking at the molecular data of small cats in Brazil, researchers found that the tigrina—also known as the oncilla in Central America—is actually two separate species. The new species has been dubbed Leopardus guttulus and is found in the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil, while the other Leopardus tigrinus is found in the cerrado and Caatinga ecosystems in northeastern Brazil.
Leatherback sea turtle no longer Critically Endangered
(11/26/2013) The leatherback sea turtle—the world's largest turtle and the only member of the genus Dermochelys—received good news today. In an update of the IUCN Red List, the leatherback sea turtle (Dermochelys coriacea) has been moved from Critically Endangered to Vulnerable. However, conservationists warn that the species still remains hugely endangered—and in rapid decline—in many parts of its range.
Could camera trap videos galvanize the world to protect Yasuni from oil drilling?
(11/07/2013) Even ten years ago it would have been impossible to imagine: clear-as-day footage of a jaguar plodding through the impenetrable Amazon, or a bicolored-spined porcupine balancing on a branch, or a troop of spider monkeys feeding at a clay lick, or a band of little coatis racing one-by-one from the dense foliage. These are things that even researchers who have spent a lifetime in the Amazon may never see. Now anyone can: scientists at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park have recently begun using camera trap videos to take movies of animals few will ever view in their lifetimes. The videos—following years of photo camera trapping—provide an intimate view of a world increasingly threatened by the oil industry.
New campaign: hey China, stop killing the 'pandas of Africa'
(10/29/2013) A new public-service campaign in China will ask potential ivory and rhino horn buyers to see the victims of these illicit trades in a new light: as the "pandas of Africa." The posters are a part of WildAid's 'Say No to Ivory and Rhino Horn' campaign, which was launched earlier in the year.
First study of little-known mammal reveals climate change threat
(10/28/2013) One of the world's least-known flying foxes could face extinction by rising seas and changing precipitation patterns due to global warming, according to a new study in Zookeys. The research, headed by Donald Buden with the College of Micronesia, is the first in-depth study of the resident bats of the remote Mortlock Islands, a part of the Federated States of Micronesia.
Advertising campaign changing minds in China on ivory trade
(10/16/2013) For three years, the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has been running advertizing campaigns in Chinese cities to raise awareness on the true source of ivory: slaughtered elephants. A recent evaluation of the campaign by Rapid Asia found that 66 percent of those who saw the ads said they would "definitely" not buy ivory in the future.
Key European species make 'refreshing' comebacks
(10/15/2013) Beaver, bison and eagles are among the species that have made a successful comeback in Europe in the past 50 years, according to a major survey published by a coalition of conservation groups on Thursday. The report selected 37 species that have showed signs of recovery, studied changes in their numbers and range since 1960, and examined the reasons driving their comeback.
Meeting the mammal that survived the dinosaurs
(10/14/2013) So, here I am, running in a forest at night over 2,000 miles from home. This forest—dry, stout, and thorny enough to draw blood—lies just a few miles north of a rural town in the western edge of the Dominican Republic on the border with Haiti. I'm following—or trying to keep pace with—a local hunter and guide as we search for one of the world's most bizarre mammals. It's an animal few people have heard of, let alone actually seen; even most Dominicans don't readily recognize its name or picture. But I've been obsessed with it for six years: it's called a "solenodon," more accurately the Hispaniolan solenodon or its (quite appropriate) scientific name, Solenodon paradoxus.
Tapirs, drug-trafficking, and eco-police: practicing conservation amidst chaos in Nicaragua
(10/10/2013) Nicaragua is a nation still suffering from deep poverty, a free-flowing drug trade, and festering war-wounds after decades of internecine fighting. However, like any country that has been largely defined by its conflicts, Nicaragua possesses surprises that overturn conventional wisdom. Not the least of which is that the Central American country is still home to big, stunning species, including jaguars, giant anteaters, pumas, and the nation's heaviest animal, the Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii). Still, not surprisingly given the nation's instability, most conservationists have avoided Nicaragua. But tapir-expert Christopher Jordan, who has worked in the country for over four years, says he wouldn't have it any other way.
Tanzania should implement shoot-to-kill policy for poachers, says government minister
(10/09/2013) A government minister in Tanzania has called for a "shoot-to-kill" policy against poachers in a radical measure to curb the mass slaughter of elephants. Khamis Kagasheki's proposal for perpetrators of the illicit ivory trade to be executed 'on the spot' divided opinion, with some conservationists backing it as a necessary deterrent but others warning that it would lead to an escalation of violence.
WWF risking Sumatran rhinos by releasing camera trap images, says scientist
(10/09/2013) On October 2nd, WWF released camera trap videos of Sumatran rhinos surviving in Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. The conservation organization had already announced in April that they had evidence of at least one Sumatran rhino in the province, but the new images confirmed what is likely to be a small surviving population. While this is good news for an animal on the edge of extinction, Erik Meijaard, a researcher who has worked in Indonesia for over 20 years, says WWF has made a mistake publicizing the news around the world, noting 'the last thing those rhinos need is publicity.'
Bornean elephant meets palm oil: saving the world's smallest pachyderm in a fractured landscape
(10/01/2013) In the Malaysian state of Sabah, where most conservation students are still foreigners—either European or American—Nurzahafarina Othman stands out: not only is she Malaysian, a Muslim, and a mother of a young daughter, but she's rapidly becoming a top researcher and champion for the world's smallest elephant: the Bornean elephant (Elephas maximus borneensis). Although sometimes described as a pygmy elephant, they still weigh 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds). The origin of these 'tiny' elephants in Malaysian Borneo have baffled scientists for decades.
New prioritization for Brazil's threatened mammals pushes little known primates and rodents to the top
(09/30/2013) Scientists have applied a species prioritization scheme to Brazil's diverse mammals to deduce which species should become the focus of conservation efforts over the next few years in a new paper published in mongabay.com's open-access journal Tropical Conservation Science.
Clinton Global Initiative pledges $80 million to combat elephant poaching
(09/27/2013) Hillary and Chelsea Clinton on Thursday deployed their mother-daughter star power to help the effort to save African elephants, brokering an $80m effort to stop the ivory poaching which threatens the animals with extinction.
Forgotten species: the nearly extinct primate that can be shot on sight
(09/27/2013) The attention paid to charismatic popular primates—such as gorillas, chimps, orangutans, lion tamarins, and even some lemurs—could make one suppose that conservationists have the protection of our closest relatives well in hand; the astounding fact that no primate species is known to have gone extinct in the last hundred years (despite large-scale destruction of their habitats) seems to confirm this statement. However, looking more closely at the data, one finds that not only are many of the world's primates slipping toward extinction, but a number of them have received little conservation attention. According to the IUCN Red List, a staggering 48 percent of the world's primates are threatened with extinction: that's a worse percentage than amphibians which have been ravaged by a global epidemic. And although a handful of the world's 600-plus primates have garnered conservation adoration, many remain obscure.
Not far from Rome, Italy's distinct bear faces down extinction
(09/23/2013) The Marsican brown bear is on the brink of extinction. Despite authorities spending millions of Euros on its conservation, high human-caused mortality is menacing the survival of this distinct subspecies. The Marsican brown bear (Ursus arctos marsicanus) is only found in the Italy's Central Apennines, less than 200 kilometers from Rome. The last reliable research carried out in 2011 by the University La Sapienza in Rome estimated a population of around 49 bears. Not surprisingly, the Marsican bear is at extremely high risk of extinction and is considered Critically Endangered on the Red List of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
U.S. to crush its six ton ivory stockpile
(09/10/2013) On October 8th, the Obama administration will publicly destroy its ivory stockpile, totaling some six tons, according to a White House forum yesterday on the illegal wildlife trade. The destruction of the stockpile—via crushing—is meant to send a message that the U.S. is taking a tougher stand on illegal the wildlife trade, which is decimating elephants across Africa and imperiling other animals worldwide. The U.S. remains one of the biggest destinations for ivory and other illegal animal part aside from East Asia.
Protecting predators in the wildest landscape you've never heard of
(09/10/2013) The Serengeti, the Congo, the Okavango Delta: many of Africa's great wildernesses are household names, however on a continent that never fails to surprise remain vast wild lands practically unknown to the global public. One of these is the Ruaha landscape: covering 51,800 square kilometers (20,000 square miles) of southern Tanzania's woodlands and savannah, Ruaha contains the largest population of elephants in East Africa, over 500 bird species, and a wealth of iconic top predators, including cheetah, hyena, wild dogs, leopard, and—the jewel in its crown—10 percent of the world's lions. But that's not all, one of Africa's least-known and secretive tribal groups, the Barabaig, also calls Ruaha home.
Loose laws threaten Australia's wildlife
(09/09/2013) Kookaburras, koalas and kangaroos—Australia is well known for its charismatic animals and vast, seemingly untamable, wild spaces. But throughout the country, the national parks and reserves that protect these unique animals and ecosystems have come under increasing threat. New rules and relaxed regulations, which bolster immediate economic growth, are putting pressure on Australia's already-threatened biodiversity.
A year after devastating attack, security returns to the Okapi Wildlife Reserve (photos)
(09/09/2013) On June 24th of last year, MaiMai Simba rebels, led by an elephant poacher known as Morgan, launched a devastating attack on the headquarters of the Okapi Wildlife Reserve in Epulu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The attack, which was reportedly in response to a crack down on poaching and illegal mining in the park, left buildings burned, equipment destroyed, and six people dead including two rangers. The militia also left with 28 women hostages, many of them minors. As if to add insult to injury, the militia didn't leave until they shot dead all 14 captive okapis at the headquarters, which were used as wildlife ambassadors for the local community.
World's biggest owl depends on large old trees
(09/03/2013) The Blakiston fish owl (Bubo Blakistoni) is the world's largest – and one of the rarest – owl species, with an impressive 6 foot (2 meter) wingspan. The giant owl, found exclusively in northeast Asia, shares its habitat with a menagerie of endangered and impressive animals, including Amur tigers, Amur leopards, Asiatic black bears and wild boars.
Ground zero for endangered species: new program to assist animals on the brink across Southeast Asia
(08/27/2013) Organizations within the international conservation community are joining forces to minimize impending extinctions in Southeast Asia, where habitat loss, trade and hunting have contributed to a dramatic decline in wildlife. The coalition is aptly named ASAP, or the Asian Species Action Partnership.
Trinidad and Tobago: a biodiversity hotspot overlooked
(08/26/2013) The two-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean (just off the coast of Venezuela) may be smaller than Delaware, but it has had an outsized role in the history of rainforest conservation as well as our understanding of tropical ecology. Home to an astounding number of tropical ecosystems and over 3,000 species and counting (including 470 bird species in just 2,000 square miles), Trinidad and Tobago is an often overlooked gem in the world's biodiversity.
Safeguarding nine priority areas could protect all of Tanzania's primates
(08/20/2013) Researchers at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) have recently developed a list of "Priority Primate Areas" to save Tanzania's many primate species from extinction. A hub of unique and endangered primates, Tanzania is widely considered to be the most important mainland country for primate diversity in Africa. Approximately a third of the 27 primate species found in Tanzania are unique to the country, including the recently discovered kipunji.
Six smugglers sentenced to jail time over pangolin trafficking in Malaysia
(08/20/2013) Six men have been sentenced to a year in jail after being convicted of smuggling 150 pangolins in peninsular Malaysia, reports Annamiticus. The men were also given fines totaling over $100,000.
Illegally captured parrots finally free to fly
(08/19/2013) In 2010, Bulgarian airport authorities confiscated 108 African grey parrots (Psittacus erithacus) from a smuggler. Last month, the 28 parrots who survived the stress of being stuffed into dog kennels, constantly handled by humans, and the absence of their native habitat, completed their three-year journey to freedom.
Meet the BABY olinguito
(08/18/2013) Since its announcement on Thursday, the olinguito—the world's newest mammal—has taken the world by storm. Hundreds of articles have been written about the new species, while its cuddly appearance has already been made the subject of cartoons. Now, conservationists have released the first photos of a baby olinguito. The new photos come from La Mesenia Conservation Project in Colombia, an Andean cloud forest reserve that is a project area for the NGO SavingSpecies.
Forest fragmentation leading to higher extinction rates
(08/13/2013) The world's species are in worse trouble than widely-assumed, according to a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), which reevaluates how scientists estimate extinction rates. The new model takes into account the impact of forest fragmentation on extinction rates for the first time, filling in a gap in past estimates. Much of the world's tropical forests, which house the bulk of the world's species, have been whittled down to fragments: small forest islands that no longer connect to larger habitat. According to the paper, species confined to fragments have a higher likelihood of vanishing.
Last disease-free Tasmanian devils imperiled by mine
(08/07/2013) The federal environment minister, Mark Butler, has given the go-ahead to a controversial mine that the courts halted amid concerns it could drastically affect the last stronghold of the Tasmanian devil. Butler said he had granted approval to Shree Minerals to proceed with its iron ore mine at Nelson Bay River in the north-west of Tasmania, subject to 30 conditions.
How YouTube has put the world's only poisonous primates at risk
(07/25/2013) It all started with a video: in 2009 a Russian man uploaded a video of himself tickling his exotic pet (a pygmy slow loris) from Vietnam onto the hugely popular site YouTube. Since then the video has been viewed over half a million times. But a new study in the open source journal in PLoS ONE, finds that such YouTube videos have helped fuel a cruel, illegal trade that is putting some of the world's least-known primates at risk of extinction. Lorises are small, shy, and nocturnal primates that inhabit the forests of tropical Asia, but the existence of all eight species is currently imperiled by a booming illegal pet trade that has been aided by videos of lorises being tickled, holding tiny umbrellas, or doing other seemingly cute (but wholly unnatural) things.
Dominican Republic sends bulldozers to destroy wildlife reserve, home to endangered species
(07/23/2013) Last Wednesday, bulldozers entered the Loma Charco Azul Biological Reserve (LCABR) in the Dominican Republic and began clearing vegetation for agricultural development. The move stunned local conservationists who had not been notified ahead of time of the project. Although Charco Azul Biological Reserve is home to a wealth of threatened species—including the world's largest population of the Critically Endangered Ricordi's iguana (Cyclura ricordi)—the destruction of the reserve was signed off by the Dominican Republic's Minister of the Environment, Bautista Rojas Gómez.
First ever pangolin conference concludes all eight species in trouble
(07/23/2013) Demand for scales, meat, and even fetuses of pangolins have pushed all eight species of this unique mammalian order—Pholidota—toward extinction, according to the world's first ever pangolin conference with the International Union for Conservation of Nature - Species Survival Commission (IUCN-SSC) Pangolin Specialist Group. Meeting in Singapore earlier this month, 40 conservationists from 14 countries discussed the plight of these little-known scaly mammals and how to turn around their global decline.
Conservationists work to give South Georgia back to the birds
(07/18/2013) A team on South Georgia has successfully completed the world's largest rodent eradication in an effort to rid the British territory of millions of rats and mice. Against the backdrop of an approaching Antarctic winter between February and May, three helicopters encountered perilous flying conditions while peppering the southern Atlantic island with 183 tonnes of the poison Brodifacoum. The team of 25 baited an area of 224 sq miles (580 sq km). The area targeted dwarfed the previous largest rodent eradication, on New Zealand's Campbell Island, by five times.
Scientists: lions need funding not fences
(07/15/2013) Fences are not the answer to the decline in Africa's lions, according to a new paper in Ecology Letters. The new research directly counters an earlier controversial study that argued keeping lions fenced-in would be cheaper and more effective in saving the big cats. African lion (Panthera leo) populations across the continent have fallen dramatically: it's estimated that the current population is around 15,000-35,000 lions, down from 100,000 just 50 years ago. The animal kings are suffering from booming human populations, habitat loss and fragmentation, prey decline, trophy hunting, and human-lion conflict.
Forgotten species: the arapaima or 'dinosaur fish'
(07/15/2013) Let's go back some 14,000 years (or up to 50,000 depending on who you talk to), since this is the first time humans encountered the meandering, seemingly endless river system of the Amazon. Certainly, the world's first Amazonians would have been astounded by the giant beasts of the region, including ground sloths and mastodons (both now extinct), as well as giant anteaters, armadillos, and tapirs, currently the biggest land animal on the continent. But these first explorers might have been even more surprised by what dwelled in the rivers: anaconda, caiman, and the arapaima. Wait, the what?
Obama to take on elephant and rhino poaching in Africa
(07/03/2013) Barack Obama launched a new initiative against wildlife trafficking on Monday, using his executive authority to take action against an illegal trade that is fueling rebel wars and now threatens the survival of elephants and rhinoceroses. The initiative, announced as the president visited Tanzania on the final stop of his African tour, was the second time in a week Obama has used an executive order to advance environmental policy, after announcing a sweeping new climate change plan.
Making movies to save Uganda's great apes
(07/03/2013) A new series of films aims to protect Uganda's great ape species (mountain gorillas and chimpanzees) by bringing entertaining and educational movies to a rural audience living on the edges of Kibale National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Produced with heavy input from locals, these films are acted with an all-Ugandan task to teach those living near great apes about the species and their conservation-needs.
Vocal-sac breeding frog possibly extinct
(07/02/2013) Somewhere in the wet pine forests of Chile, a male frog is gulping-up a bunch of eggs. No he's not eating them, he's just being a good dad. Darwin's frogs are known for their unique parenting-style: tadpoles are incubated in the vocal sac of the father. First recorded by Charles Darwin during his world famous voyage aboard the Beagle, the amphibians were common in the native Chilean pine forests until the last few decades. Now, scientists believe that one of the two species, the northern Darwin's frog (Rhinoderma rufum), may have vanished for good. And the other is hanging on by a thread.
New forensic method tells the difference between poached and legal ivory
(07/01/2013) Forensic-dating could end a major loophole in the current global ban on ivory, according to a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Scientists have developed a method to determine the age of ivory, allowing traders to tell the difference between ivory taken before the ban in 1989, which is still legal, and recently-poached ivory.
Amazonian students help monitor threatened frog populations
(07/01/2013) According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, amphibians are the most threatened group of animals on Earth: currently around 30 percent of the world's amphibians are listed as threatened with extinction. However this percentage doesn't include those species about which too little is known to evaluate (26 percent). Amphibians face many threats but two of the largest are habitat loss and the lethal chytrid fungus, which has rapidly spread worldwide and is likely responsible for numerous extinctions. But conservationists are coming up with innovative and creative ways to keep amphibians from disappearing, including a program from the Detroit Zoological Society (DZS) that is working with students in the Peruvian Amazon to monitor frog populations.
Saving the Raja of India's grasslands: new efforts to conserve the Critically Endangered Great Indian Bustard
(06/30/2013) The Great Indian Bustard, one of India's iconic birds, once ranged across most of the Indian subcontinent. Due to a variety of factors, however, the Great Indian Bustard is also now India's rarest bird and faces imminent extinction. The following is an interview with Ramki Sreenivasan, co-founder of Conservation India, a group that recently petitioned the Rajasthan Chief Minister to kick start "Project Bustard."
The neglected giraffe: world's tallest animal in need of conservation assistance
(06/27/2013) Just two year's before his assassination, Julius Caesar brought to Rome one of the world's most astonishing living creatures: a giraffe. The animal was among Caesar's spoils from his campaign in Egypt and according to the Roman writer, Dio, the giraffe, which was arguably the first to ever touch European soil, was paraded in the Circus for all to see. Today, over two thousand years later, the giraffe has become one of the world's most recognizable animals: after all nothing looks quite like it with its spotted coat, tufted horns, and, most importantly, that impossibly long neck. But less commonly known is that the giraffe is in trouble with some subspecies down to just a few hundred individuals.
On guard: protecting wildlife in a heavily hunted Brazilian forest
(06/24/2013) The Brazilian government offers tax relief to landowners who set aside areas for preservation. While this has expanded the system of private ecological reserves considerably, the Brazilian government currently lacks funding to enforce the protection of these lands from threats such as hunting, leaving the responsibility to the landowners.
Building a new generation of local conservationists: how improving education in Uganda may save one of the world's great forests
(06/20/2013) Conservation work is often focused on the short-term: protecting a forest from an immediate threat, saving a species from pending extinction, or a restoring an ecosystem following degradation. While short-term responses are often borne of necessity, one could argue that long-term thinking in conservation and environmental work (as in all human endeavors) is woefully neglected, especially in the tropics. This is why programs like the Kasiisi Project are so important: by vastly improving education for primary kids near a threatened park in Uganda, the project hopes to create a "generation of committed rural conservationists," according to founder and director, Elizabeth Ross.
Why endangered species need conservation champions
(06/13/2013) Without heroic conservationists many of today's most beloved species would be extinct: think of pandas, tigers, and elephants. By single-mindly focused on saving a particular species, these conservation champions bring much-needed research, publicity, and, most importantly, targeted actions to keep an imperiled animal from the brink. Through their own exuberance, these heroes also gather others to their cause. But, many of the world's heroic conservationists are little-known to the broader public. To address this a new book, Wildlife Heroes: 40 Leading Conservationists and the Animals They Are Committed to Saving, strives to introduce the public to some of the world's most devoted conservationists.
Conserving the long-neglected freshwater fish of Borneo
(06/11/2013) Borneo is a vast tropical island known for orangutans, rhinos, elephants, sun bears, proboscis monkeys, hornbills, and ubiquitous leeches. Conservationists have championed all of these species (aside from the leeches) in one way or another, but like many tropical regions Borneo's freshwater species have long been neglected, despite their rich biodiversity and importance to local people. But a new organization, the Kinabatangan River Spirit Initiative, is working to change that.
Saving the Tenkile: an expedition to protect one of the most endangered animals you've never heard of
(06/05/2013) The tenkile, or the Scott's tree kangaroo (Dendrolagus scottae) could be a cross between a koala bear and a puppy. With it's fuzzy dark fur, long tail and snout, and tiny ears, it's difficult to imagine a more adorable animal. It's also difficult to imagine that the tenkile is one of the most endangered species on Earth: only an estimated 300 remain. According to the Tenkile Conservation Alliance (TCA), the tenkile's trouble stems from a sharp increase of human settlements in the Torricelli mountain range. Once relatively isolated, the tenkile now struggles to avoid hunters and towns while still having sufficient range to live in.
African militias trading elephant ivory for weapons
(06/05/2013) The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) is using lucrative elephant poaching for ivory to fund its activities, according to a report published on Tuesday. Eyewitness accounts from park rangers, Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) escapees and recent senior defectors report that the fugitive warlord Joseph Kony, who is wanted by the international criminal court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, ordered African forest elephants to be killed in Garamba national park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the tusks sent to him.

LB Foster Unlikely To Go Sunday; Future On The Outside?December 24, 2014 4:58 pm • by Eric Horchy
The 10 plays middle linebacker Mason Foster lasted for against Green Bay were likely his last of 2014.

The 10 plays middle linebacker Mason Foster lasted for against Green Bay were likely his last of 2014.
Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy made his third straight Pro Bowl, while LB Lavonte David, an All-Pro last year, was named a Pro Bowl alternate.
What's going right with the Buccaneers and what is going wrong in Tampa Bay? Find out in this week's edition of The State of the Buccaneers.
Bucs left tackle Anthony Collins has been benched for the past two weeks and could be released in the offseason as Demar Dotson has taken over at left tackle.
Tampa Bay dropped their 13th game of the season and seventh at home, losing to the Green Bay Packers 20-3. The Bucs offense had their eighth worst performance in franchise
So it's no surprise that most of the impressive Buccaneers against the Packers came from the defensive side of the ball.
Tampa Bay's offense had a pitiful performance in Green Bay's 20-3 victory on Sunday. So it should come as no surprise that offensive players comprise the list of the most disappointing Buccaneers.
In the upset of upsets, in the staggering performance of staggering performances, the Tampa Bay Bucs went out and got themselves a field goal Sunday afternoon. That'll teach the doubters, all right.
The Cheeseheads came out in force Sunday and the Packers sent them home happy.
Following a horrific offensive performance by the team, Buccaneers QB Josh McCown laments over the fact that Jeff Tedford left the team and left Tampa Bay without an offensive coordinator this season.

Prime the four panels of poplar and molding and sand lightly when dry, then wipe wood with tack cloth.
Spray several light coats of Burgundy on the molding and decorative reliefs.
Measure 18.5" from the bottom of the panels and draw a pencil line across all four panels. Take the plastic and tape it to pencil line to protect it from the spray paint.
On whichever side of the panel that isn't protected with the plastic, spray several light coats of the appropriate color.
When the panels, molding and decorative wood reliefs are dry, glue the molding to each panel and either clamp them or put weights on them.
Glue the wood reliefs in the corners of each panel on the top and put weights on them.
Cut out a floral motif or any other motif of your choosing and decoupage it to panels.

JUDDDING With 5/2 - April 1-7
How are we all doing with this now? I find it easier than just JUDDD, but the loses are not as fast - which is fine with me! :jumpjoy:
Have a great day all!
:weigh: I'm up 5 lbs. from my 143 on Fri., after 3 days of over eating during Easter weekend. :eek:
My immediate recovery plan for the next two weeks before going on vacation, is to do Phase 1 of South Beach & 4:3. :help:
:notwrthy: I'll be doing 5:2 for maintenance, after I reach my goal weight. :aprayer:
I'm up nearly 3 pounds from Saturday morning, but I had a relatively controlled (at least by calories) Easter, so I'm thinking it's mostly water retention from travelling and salty, carby Easter debauchery. I'm not concerned. It'll come back down.
Dawn, I wish I knew where I could get me some of that calm of yours! ;)
I'm about ready to fix myself a big glass of colon blow! :hyst:
;) The calm is still evolving. JUDDD and now 5:2 have not EVER failed me, so I have learned (am still learning) to put my trust in them. This month's experiment involves not logging my daily weight in that thread. I'll still weigh daily, but I figure that may be a stepping stone to allow for even less stress if I can ever allow myself to go a week or so without weighing. It's all a process. :D
I don't know what's more difficult...trusting the process or ourselves. :doh:
BTW: You're looking really nice and slender in the new family photo! Looks like even more inches are melting off of you while your in maintenance and doing zumba. :up:
Aw, thanks! I feel really good about my size except for my tummy. Grrr. I wish there was a way to spot-reduce! I feel like if I lose much more the rest of me will be too small, but I'll STILL have that dreaded belly. It may be time to invest in some spanx! :hyst: Corsets? Girdles? Do they still make girdles? Okay, I'm totally off topic now and heading to Google land!
BTW, DH is down about 115 pounds now. He makes me feel tiny which is saying something since I'm 5'9"! He's 6'3" but looks taller to me, especially as he's slimming down.
After eating an entire pizza on Saturday, and having a generous ud yesterday, I was happy to see the scale only up a bit today, at 135.5, which is .5 above my ideal maintenance range. I'm doing an 800ish calorie md today, so hoping to see some of it dissapear tomorrow!
If he's 6'3",then what is Keira standing on to make her reach his arm pit?
Keira is just that tall. She's 8, going on 18! She's the tallest girl in her class, and there's only one boy taller. She often gets mistaken for a 5th grader, and she's only in 2nd grade!
The three of us actually do. My oldest grand daughter is also in 2nd grade. :o
My md yesterday got derailed due to my mil dropping off a dozen krispy kreme donuts :doh: I did only eat one and it was a 900ish calorie md. This morning I'm back at 134, so in the zone again :clap:
What a nice drop on the scale you were rewarded with this morning too. :up:
BTW: My oldest DIL is your age. :D
Hope everyone has a joyous spring day! :kicking:
:) Ann
Hi all - sorry to have been MIA lately. My son was visiting from CA over the Easter holiday and work has me insane! Hoping to get in a few good DD's this week (yesterday's was a disaster) :(
:annoyed:I'm only down 1 lb. from the 5 that I gained over the weekend.
:heart: The two of you are so pretty in pink!
BTW - beautiful new PP. :)
Aw thanks everyone. I'm playing with pictures (just finally got on photobucket), so who knows how many times I'm going to change my avatar before one sticks for a while. ;)
2nd grade really is a fun age. We're taking her with us on our Mexican cruise in July and I think she'll have a ton of fun, and she's old enough to make some real lasting memories.
Hi everyone. Dawn I love the new photos, especially you pink ladies. Wow DH is doing so well. How much real food can he eat now?
I had my 'Easter dinner' this evening so may see a nasty number on the scales to tomorrow. But I can handle it.
We have company until Friday so that will be my next DD.
I had my DD yesterday despite the crash and all that followed. I haven't eat much today, but I'm gonna have dinner soon and go to bed. Tomorrow is DD again, then UDs till Monday :)
Easter dinner was meant to be enjoyed.
DH can eat whatever he wants now, just in small quantities, and no carbonation. Life is good!
New low this morning. 158.2

With Christmas [1] and New Year's behind you, start off the year on the right foot with a focus on wholesome, healthful meals. For a dinner that's both hearty and light, turn to these salads. As a plus, their use of Winter ingredients means you're eating produce at its seasonal (and nutritional) peak. Read on to see what salads will be getting us through the Winter.
Butter Lettuce With Satsumas and Feta
Wake up your palate with the sweet, salty, and tart flavors of a butter lettuce salad with satsumas and feta cheese [2].
Maple Roasted Pumpkin Salad
This salad of roasted pumpkin and greens [3] — tossed with maple dressing and pepitas for crunch — embodies the essence of Winter in a bowl.
Warm Chicken, Radicchio, and Fennel Salad
Can't bear to eat a cold salad in Winter? You'll find comfort in a warm chicken salad with sautéed radicchio, fennel, carrots, and cheese [4].
Insalata Caprese Invernale
With its fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella, the beloved caprese salad has always been limited to Summer. That is, until now: " rel="nofollow">this brilliant Winterized version [5] calls for roasted tomatoes, pesto, and pine nuts.
Prosciutto and Shrimp Antipasti Salad
This indulgent salad [6], which combines artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, and fresh fennel with prosciutto-wrapped shrimp, would win over even the heartiest meat eaters.

Centurion man attacked by sharkComment on this story
Cape Town - A Centurion man has been attacked by a shark at Sandstrand near Cape Town, the National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) said.
"Police responded to the scene (on Friday) where the victim was found on the beach suffering two serious lacerations to his left upper leg and.... his left knee with serious blood loss," said spokesman Craig Lambinon.
The 29-year-old, identified as Jacque Mostert, was conscious.
"NSRI medics and a local doctor... treated the man on scene... an ER24 ambulance was summoned and the patient was transported to hospital in a serious but stable condition."
Mostert was surfing with friends when he was attecked. Witnesses had helped him out of the water.
"Initial estimates, based on the eyewitness accounts, and from the bite marks, we estimate the shark to have been between four and 4.5 metres but the species of shark is not yet confirmed," said Lambinon. - Sapa

A convenient sports bottle.
Camelbak equipped the Podium 24oz Water Bottle with a spill-proof, self-sealing Jet Valve, a removable lid for easy cleaning, and a positive lockout that eliminates any leaks. Its BPA-free TruTaste polypropylene material is safer to drink out of than polycarbonate plastics, and it won't distort your water's taste.

One of the best bottles
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The spout mechanism is really convenient. You can leave it "open" and it won't spill unless you squeeze it and when you want to make sure it "closes" you turn the top rather than pull on the part you drink from. It's a great design.

I've been using the bottles for the past two years, and love them. They are easy to squeeze, stay in bottle cages well, and the drink valve is well built and doesn't leak. Definitely recommend for riders.

I'm home, back to work, and EXHAUSTED. Long story to be accompanied by photos of my vacation, so stay tuned!
So, first things first. My final grades are in and.... *drum roll*... I got a 4.0 for the semester!!!
Here's the other thing: A very close friend moved away last September. We were joined at the hip. She taught me more things than she'll ever know. I miss her like crazy. So, Thursday morning, I'm taking a plane to Whidbey Island, WA to visit!
She's picking me up in Seattle and we'll go to Pike's Market and wander around. I've heard Whidbey is huge on Farmer's Markets, so we should be eyeball deep in fresh produce for my stay, not to mention fresh fish! She's only a few blocks from the beach, so I'm seeing many lovely walks in my future. I've heard that it is beautiful there, so I'm hoping to get some good pictures to share when I get back!
This is fabulous:
This totally works. I've done this many times. The getting up and getting started part is the hardest part of the whole thing, but I've never thought to myself, "Gee, I wish I would have just stayed on my @ss, feeling crabby."
Try it. You'll be grateful you did, I promise.
...well, mostly.
Little by little, I'm getting there. I was able to smell my coffee on Friday! I had a follow up with the doc and he's happy with my post-op progress. He's happy, so I'm happy.
The weather was amazing this weekend, so I went for a little walk with my dog. It was really nice to feel the sunshine and hear the birds. I'm still really tired from the crazy 6 weeks I've just had, but feeling better every day!
So, on to the important stuff. I went shopping yesterday. There was a sale on summer hats. Have I mentioned that I love hats? I bought 2. I might go back before the sale ends. $5.98 is a hell of a good price, yeah?
Seriously, I'm ridiculously excited.
Be excited with me.
Surgery is all done. Went great. Other than blowing out 2 veins trying to get an IV in, no complications. :D. I'm at home now. They gave me Morphine and Hydrocodone, so I'm a little bit high and a lotta bit tired.

|Second-half goals lift 49ers on Alumni Night
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Two second-half goals for Charlotte gave the 49ers a 2-0 home Conference USA victory over UTSA Friday night at Transamerica Field to kick-off Alumni Weekend. At halftime, the Charlotte athletics department retired the jersey of former All-American Hailey Beam (2006-09).
The current group of Niners entered the intermission with their fellow league newcomers scoreless but tallied both goals within a nine-minute stretch of the second stanza to improve to 7-4 on the season and 2-1 in Conference USA.
Freshman Rebecca Beatty registered her first career goal at 62:13 when a pass from sophomore Maddie Kiebel located Beatty at the top of the 18-yard box. Beatty then sent a low shot to the far left post, placing it just inside the bar and past Roadrunners goalkeeper Bubba Makela, the reigning C-USA Defensive Player of the Week.
Preseason league player to watch Amanda Jones then added the insurance goal at 70:48 when her 40-yarder exposed an empty net behind Makela. She joined the rest of her UTSA (2-9-1, 1-1-1 C-USA) defense by pushing forward, but a loose ball along the left side enabled Jones to send an arcing shot high over the back line and into the open cage.
Charlotte had various other chances to find the back of the net, starting with Kiebel's attempt at 59:12 that was saved by Makela. At 66:22, freshman Ari Reilley appeared to add another score but a Roadrunners defender stepped in front and turned it away inside the six-yard box. Finally, with just under 10 minutes to go at 80:09, redshirt junior Jennifer Lee's free kick opportunity ricocheted off the right post.
Redshirt sophomore Annika McHenry grabbed four saves in posting the shutout, the team's sixth of the campaign. Makela finished with three stops.
Jones paced all players with five shots, while Alexis Alaniz and Kauwela Neal topped UTSA with two shots each.
The 49ers return to action at 1 p.m. Sunday when they play host to Middle Tennessee to conclude Alumni Weekend and the first two home Conference USA matches of the season.

Former Russia and Zenit head coach Dick Advocaat could have called in favours to prepare his AZ Alkmaar side for their Europa League tie with Anzhi Makhachkala - but decided the personal approach worked best.
Advocaat welcomes Anzhi to Holland on Thursday night for the first leg of their last-16 clash and, having spent almost five years in Russia managing both Zenit and the national team, he knows enough about Russian football to judge his forthcoming opposition for himself.
"I called no contacts to gather information," he said at his pre-match press conference.
"What we have done, we have done ourselves.
"I know Anzhi have been pretty good, I saw them beat Rubin Kazan on Sunday.
That says something because I know from experience that Rubin are a good team.
"We have also viewed the matches between Anzhi and Racing Genk [in the previous round]."
Belgian outfit Genk held Anzhi to a goalless draw in Russia before going down 2-0 at home in the second leg and Advocaat, who lifted the UEFA Cup during his spell at Zenit, says he has learned from their mistakes.
"We must ensure that we do not fall into the trap as Genk did," he added. "They played at home with too much risk.
"Anzni play with a lot of people behind the ball and are a pure counter-attacking team which is very compact. They are not the team two years ago, when Guus Hiddink was coach there, they are a really different team but their quality is still strong."
Anzhi currently sit bottom of the Russian Premier League but picked up their first win of the season with their victory over Rubin.
Defender Andrei Eschenko believes the club's recruitment during the winter transfer window, with 10 new players brought in, has helped improve Anzhi's fortunes ahead of the AZ tie.
"The structure of our game has changed now new players of higher level have joined the team," he said.
"We don't concede and now we score goals and create opportunities. We have some quick players in the squad now, we can go on the attack more often."

I am getting a low drive cycle warning what could be the problem and fix?
2004 Porsche 911

2004 Porsche 911 Question: I am getting a low drive cycle warning what could be the problem and fix?
Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, July 01, 2011, 18:45Master
I am not sure what "low drive cycle" means? IS it explained in your owner's manual? Check here http://repairpal.com/automobile-owners-manuals-online or try this link you may be able to down load a free copy of the owner's manual for your vehicle http://www.autousermanual.com/
There are a lot of Porsche specific forums and the owners that are on these Porsche forums pretty savvy people.
The only thing that comes to mind are "drive cycles" referring to criteria that the computer in your car needs to see met before it allows the car to pass a state smog test. The computer runs tests each time you run the car and drive it some tests take a few weeks to do if the battery has been disconnected or the codes erased using a scan tool.

"This woman has just cut, chopped, broken and burned five men beyond recognition... but no jury in America would ever convict her!"The character, or someone close to the character, has been raped. And now it's time to settle the score. It might develop into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge or Axe Crazy vigilantism, but it might also take a far more sophisticated turn. In a way, it is an inversion of Honor-Related Abuse, making sure that it is the attacker rather then the victim who is Defiled Forever. Rape and revenge accept the premise that rape constitutes permanent destruction, but adds the idea that it's not necessarily the victim who gets destroyed. She can avert being Defiled Forever by defiling her abuser back... or maybe it will turn into a black hole where everyone is damned. In most cases, of course, the one carrying out the revenge is the victim, but not always. This Trope also covers times where a sibling, spouse, or pretty much any other close relation of the victim decides to track the rapist down. Vengeance for violation is a subset of "Crime Pursued by Vengeance," one of the Thirty Six Dramatic Situations recognized by Georges Polti.

Making Connections: Networking and the Job Search Process
Networking is a vital component of the job search process. It is about sharing knowledge
and contacts, helping others and building relationships before you need them. Networking
does not mean you need to meet 20 people every week. Instead make it a goal of adding 1
person to your network every week; it is not about the quantity of contacts a person has
but the quality. For this reason it is important that once you add a person to your
network you keep in touch with them periodically. This can be done through social media
(LinkedIn), over the phone, or a face-to-face conservation over coffee. Some places you can build
your network include …
• Your classes / seminars
• At work
• Conferences
• Volunteer opportunities
• Online (through sites such as LinkedIn)
Networking on LinkedIn
•Users with complete profiles are 40x more likely to receive opportunities through
•Networking does not mean reaching out to strangers. The best networks begin with those
you know and trust, and then grow based on personal referrals.
•Always customize your connection requests with a friendly note.
•Stay on other people's radar by updating your LinkedIn status at least once a week.
•Help your connections with their questions, comment on their statuses, or forward job
listings to show your generous side. You will find that your generosity is usually
•Search by similarities (i.e., school, program, concentration) to generate new
While online networking has become more and more popular, it should not replace
face-to-face conversations.
Come stop by the Career Resource Centre in the Learning Commons where we have a variety
of networking resources including LinkedIn tips, accessing the hidden job market and
information interview resources.

The summer break may be over but Romain Grosjean is no closer to deciding his future in Formula 1.
Although Lotus are keen to get him under contract for next season, Grosjean again has made it clear he wants to wait before making a decision.
"As long as options are open," he reiterated to Autosport.
Lotus have had a difficult 2014 campaign, their efforts partly undone by their under-performing Renault engine.
The team is reportedly set to swap to Mercedes power next season, however, that deal has yet to be done.
Grosjean, though, is confident that whatever happens next year will be a better one for Lotus.
"They don't really have to convince me. I know what they are capable of doing," he said.
"I know they had made very good cars in the past. I know the trouble we have now.
"Since we are now in the process of understanding what is not working very well with the windtunnel and the car, if they know what budget they have then they can work with that.
"Hopefully they get a good engine. Then, from there, we can assess what they are capable of doing. I know the team is not going to have another season like this one next year.
"They will react and get better. Even though it may not be as good as next year, I'm sure it's going to be a car more capable of fighting for points more often. It could still be a good team."

I've been in the real estate industry for 30 plus years. When my family and I found Driggs, we knew this was the place for our outdoor everything and our indoor luxory.
Aspen Pointe is one of the very last developments before reaching world famous Grand Targhee Resort. There is never a crowd and the snow is amazing. Hop in the car. In ten minutes your skiing or in 30 you're shopping in Jackson Hole.
The spa is in your back yard and the Grand Tetons are your backdrop. The Teton Valley is more beutiful then any landscape I have ever seen. Come enjoy!
Since I have never reserved a vacation rental over the internet I was very nervous about doing so. I need not have worried. The condo was absolutely fantastic! It was Clean, totally equipped, and a pure pleasure to stay in. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The customer service from Ms. Hill was outstanding. We accidently locked ourselves out and when we called and left a message, even though it was very late, Ms. Hill called us back. I would highly recommend Ms. Hill and the condo we stayed in to everyone. The whole vacation was an extremely pleasant experience. We look forward to visiting again. Oh, and I was pleasantly surprised to find my deposit check in the mailbox just tow days after I returned home. Super service!!!!

Samsung killed most of their Tizen team
You'd think this would have made the news.
I wish you were right, but I've spoke with one of the main developers about this and Firefox is indeed using the SDK.
Unless Google opens up things on the desktop, Firefox will likely not be getting Chromecast support anytime soon.
We will likely see an increase of client-side encoding VP9 through WebRTC.
Let others debate the extent of use, but browser-based video chat and screencasting will likely increase. This should pop many I've-never-encoded-a-video-before cherries.
The usage of VP9 will not be solely for 4k videos.
Criticize the technical merits all you like, but Mozilla's partnership with Foxconn to produce inexpensive phones may turn out to be very strategic (for both parties).
It was Q.
I feel like my response is supposed to be "Ohh! That's what it would look like if it were different!"
But the reality is that I didn't have much of an idea of what it looks like now.
I really would like to see this same setup in asm.js to see how it compares.
Why does everyone assume that Google is the only game in town for funding Firefox?
Firefox has 1 out of 5 users on the internet. If Google lost Firefox it would be significant. They really wouldn't want to lose it.
Microsoft would love to have Firefox's default search area (and love taking it from Google) and they've repeatedly demonstrated their ability and desire to throw gobs of money at a product until it succeeds (or clearly fails beyond redemption) - and Bing is one of those products.
It seems like few people made the connection when Microsoft partnered with Mozilla to release a version of Firefox "powered by Bing search". Just a month or so later Mozilla announced their three year, $900 million search deal with Google. It seems clear that Mozilla either just before, or during, negotiations with Google demonstrated their ability to pull the trigger with Microsoft.
Google does not want to lose Firefox, but further would hate to lose it to MS. Either way, even if they did, Mozilla would not go hungry.
And when they al start failing at the same time with the same fault, and you lose your 3rd drive in your 8 drive raid 6 in a few hours?
Best start praying to the god of whatever alternate dimension you've stepped into because someone just handed the laws of probability an anvil.
Eich often does a good job of intelligently addressing questions in the comments. I strongly encourage looking through them to learn more.
In reply to one question about the binaries he replied:
...because the BSD-licensed source code is available at http://www.openh264.org/, you and others can verify the compiled bits come from that source, no malware or spyware added. We will organize community auditing of this sanity check, and the binary modules will be cryptographically signed so Firefox can verify their integrity.
And another,
great question, and it applies to Firefox, Chrome, and other browsers. But in the case of Firefox for Linux at least, and for Cisco's OpenH264 binary modules, we can audit: get matching revision of the open source, compile with the same (bootstrapped from open source) clang or gcc toolchain, and compare bits.
It appears we can have a good amount of confidence that what's in the code is what's in the binary.
I'm curious how they will handle the driver situation in Android.
As I understand it the specific drivers for your device's hardware are package (compiled?) with the OS, making it infeasible to swap out parts.
Perhaps drivers could be stored in updatable firmware on the modules?
No, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating".
Oh crap, then what's this pile of brown stuff in front of me?
I checked the site and I think this bears repeating: The tuner in question is approaching a quarter of a million dollars in costs (perhaps more depending on the '+' part of '30+').
At that rate, wouldn't it be more economical to pay a hacker to build/design one based on MythTV that pulls off the same features (then whip out another or upgrade when you need it)? Heck, you could hire a couple MythTV developers.
I think it's a good time for us all to take a step back and reflect on the (many very reactionary) comments made after the "Google breaks Chromecast" story the other day.
Imagination is more important than knowledge. -- Albert Einstein

Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 cup hazelnuts (4 oz)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam plus additional (optional) for serving
- Confectioners sugar for dusting
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan and line bottom with wax paper or parchment, then butter paper.
Finely grind nuts with flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a food processor.
Beat together butter and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until just incorporated. Fold in nut mixture gently but thoroughly.
Spread batter evenly in baking pan and bake until torte is lightly browned around edges and firm but springy to the touch, about 15 minutes.
Run a small knife around edges of cake, then invert a rack over pan and flip cake onto rack. Remove paper, turn cake right side up, and cool 10 minutes. Transfer cake to a cutting board and halve crosswise. Spread jam on top of 1 half, then place second half on top, right side up. Cut torte into 4 squares, then cut each square diagonally into triangles.
Dust triangles with confectioners sugar and serve with additional jam if desired.

I have a 3" memory foam topper for my dorm room, so I wanted to get one for my bed at home during the summer. This was the closest match I found, and also the most affordable (the same quality topper costs about twice as much elsewhere). It's amazing!! Just like the one in my dorm room. To address some issues other people had: - The memory foam smelling bad: Mine did have an odor when I took it out of the package, but once I put it on the bed and put everything else on top of it (goose down topper, mattress pad, fitted sheet), I couldn't smell it at all. - The memory foam not setting up right: Obviously, if something is rolled up and smushed for who knows how long, it's going to take some time to become normal again. After unrolling it and setting it on the bed, mine sprang back into shape within five minutes. - The fire hazard: If your bed is on fire and you're still in it, your biggest worry isn't going to be inhaling gas from the memory foam. I feel perfectly safe in my bed. Overall, I love this product. I have no complaints; it's like sleeping on a cloud. If you've never tried memory foam, you need to. Start with this product!
I bought this for my elderly father who lives in an assisted living apt. He said his old mattress was not comfy,It was very less than 2 years old and we couldn't see buying a new mattress for him and thought we would give this a try first. I have always purchased these for my own beds in the house to improve them. I like the 3-4 inch toppers that are 100% memory foam and thought he might like it a little better, if not we would buy him a new mattress . So far he says he thinks it is much more comfortable and he is satisfied with it. This came very well packaged and fast!
Very nice memory foam topper for the price! I ordered another one after i received the first one.
We put this on a bed that gets used for a weekly visit by a guest who weighs over 200 lbs and he says it is now the best sleep he gets. No more shoulder and back aches.
I was having trouble with my shoulder sleeping on a new mattress. I purchased the memory foam topper hoping this would help my shoulder. My shoulder pain is completely gone, and I am sleeping like a baby. I am very happy with my purchase. I also was happy with the timely in which the topper was shipped. It actually arrived earlier than anticipated.
as before, awesome, not my first and won't be my last
The problem with product is the warning sticker was stuck to the foam. I carefully tried to remove but it took a huge chuck out of the foam. Due to the fact that I have a new topper with a 3 x3 hole where warning label was, I cannot recommend to anyone else.
Perfect. I have chronic back and neck issues and memory foam is essential for me to be able to sleep. Never had a bad purchase from Overstock!!!!!!
I love my memory foam mattress topper! Order arrived on time and was just as described.
I think this memory foam topper is a very good value for the price. It is very comfortable to sleep on, and has no smell at all.

Beef Pastrami
- Total Time:
- 511 hr 15 min
- Prep:
- 15 min
- Inactive:
- 507 hr
- Cook:
- 4 hr
- Yield:
- about 4 pounds
- Level:
- Intermediate
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 6 bay leaves, crumbled
- 2 teaspoons whole cloves
- 1/4 cup minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons whole juniper berries, plus 1/3 cup crushed juniper berries
- 16 cups (or 4 quarts) water
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup kosher salt
- 1 beef brisket (about 4 to 5 pounds)
- 2/3 cup coarsely ground black pepper
In a small mixing bowl, combine the peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves, cloves, garlic and whole juniper berries. In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine the water, brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Remove from the heat and add dry spice mixture and steep for 1 hour. Place the brisket in a glass or plastic container. Pour the seasoned brine to cover the brisket completely. Cover and refrigerate for 3 weeks, turning the brisket every couple of days. Preheat the smoker. Combine the crushed juniper berries and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Using the palm and heel of your hand, press two thirds of the berry and pepper mixture into the brisket. Press the remaining mixture into the other side. Place the brisket in the smoker and smoke for about 4 hours. Remove from the smoker and cool for 30 minutes. Place the brisket in a large Dutch oven, cover with water and place over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for two hours. Remove from the pan and cool completely. Slice into thin slices and serve.

You won't be sorry! It's the BEST grilled Pastrami sandwich on the PLANET! And it was FUN to have the project going (with little effort for so long. A family event. ...
First, make sure you completely cool the brine before you put your beef brisket into it. If not, it could start to cook it and it could be at a dangerous temperature for a period of time which could cause a food borne illness.
Also, make sure your smoker temperature is no hotter than 250*. Between 200 and 225 is ideal. I am using hickory chips which are middle of the road in smoky flavor.
I hope mine turns out as well as I'm hoping it will! It sure smells good in the smoker!! ...
@ Phillis popular smoking woods are Cherry, Apple, and Hickory are very popular.
@ Heidi there are smoking available but I don't know how well they work ...
Thank you! your flag was submitted.
