It's easy to gloss over things the Raiders are doing, mostly because over the years that's become a reflex for anyone outside of Oakland. By default we mentally block out the unnecessary noise on Sundays, and often the Raiders haven't been relevant.
But in their backfield over the last few weeks something quite remarkable is happening. That something's name is Rashad Jennings.
Three weeks ago Darren McFadden went down with a hamstring injury, because of course he did. You're familiar with his brittleness, but for the public record, McFadden has now missed 16 games over just the past three seasons. You knew this when he was sitting there in the third round of your fake football league draft, but you figured his upside was mighty steep when healthy, and the price was more than affordable.
Then you handcuffed his backup, and you thought little of it at the time, because who the hell would with Rashad Jennings, he of the 2.8 yards per carry last year in Jacksonville. But here's what you have now: maybe and probably the new Raiders starting running back even when McFadden is healthy, or at least the guy on the high end of a time share.
McFadden won't return until at least Week 13, but when he does benching or reducing the role of a running back who's accumulated 431 yards from scrimmage over just the past three weeks won't happen. That's a pace of 143.7 yards per game, and 6.3 per touch. Prior to his injury McFadden was averaging only 50.3 yards per game and 3.9 per touch.
There hasn't yet been a firm commitment by Raiders head coach Dennis Allen to Jennings upon McFadden's return, and expecting such a thing publicly is foolish. But as Allen himself said, the title of "starter" is irrelevant, as Jennings will see plenty of footballs.
"I'll say this and I'll say it again, he's earned the right to carry the ball. Whether he starts or doesn't start, I don't think that's really much of a factor. He's going to get his touches."
As Scott Bair of CSN Bay Area notes, what separates Jennings from McFadden is his power through contact. During his three-game sizzle streak Jennings has averaged a pretty stupid 4.0 yards after contact, while McFadden was only rumbling for 2.0.
But here's both the highest compliment for Jennings, and the greatest insult for Ray Rice. Even after the Ravens running back began hopefully his redemption campaign this past Sunday with 131 rushing yards, Rice still has only 420 yards on the ground in total this season, which is 60 yards behind Jennings who has 47 fewer carries, and just three starts.
Rice's fantasy ADP? About fifth overall. Where did Jennings go on average? He didn't.
More notes, stray thoughts, and other such randomness
New England Patriots: Masters of subtlety
I can't at all think of what this cover is referencing. Nope.
This week's Patriots Football Weekly cover: pic.twitter.com/TMnHA0P3C0
— New England Patriots (@Patriots) November 19, 2013
Your daily diet of NFL propaganda
Ohhh yeah, that's what has a few bees in the Patriots' bonnet. It seems there was a call of some significance Monday night that may or may not have contributed to the result of that game.
Yes, it's all coming back to me now as I sit in front of a television which is still debating that call (the people on the television, not the television itself). So, what say you Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating? Do you think that wearing Luke Kuechly is a fashionable look for Rob Gronkowski during the dying seconds of a game?
"The issue isn't the contact. The issue is the restriction. Does it occur when prior to the ball being touched? And at full speed, the officials made a tight judgment call and they determined that the restriction occurred just as the ball was being touched. And again, at full speed, you could see why they made that call."
Hmmm, that's odd. My eyes were expecting to read the word "right" in there somewhere. As in "they made the right call". Surely it's coming…
"I wouldn't say that they were wrong. Again, they have to make this call. They used proper mechanics. They got together after the play. They determined that, in their judgment, that the contact occurred simultaneous with the ball being intercepted, and that's what the officials did."
Nope, not there either, and if the primary reasoning for the non-call is that the contact occurred simultaneously to the interception, that's simply incorrect.
But look, we all understand that officiating a professional football at full speed isn't at all an easy thing, and therefore human error will happen. The sane folk among us can accept and embrace that reality, and move on. That doesn't make what happened Monday suck any less for fans, coaches, players, or anyone involved in New England Patriots football, though here's a crazy though: win the game in the other 59 minutes, and don't place your fate in the hands of a judgement call.
Oh and also, it's conveniently assumed in all of this that the Patriots would have scored from the one-yard line had a pass interference call stood. In the minds of the football-watching public, that play has already been run successfully. It's a formality, and will be converted by default.

This does not sound enjoyable
The weather throughout the northeast Sunday was, in a word, horrible, with Chicago receiving the worst of the awfulness. That made the Browns' flight back from Cincinnati a bit of an experience and perhaps a flirtation with death.
Please describe your dance with the devil, offensive lineman Jason Pinkston:
"It was the real thing. The weather was so bad. We were coming in to land and (the pilot) had to go kind of fast to balance it out and we came down and we hit on two wheels. The (left) wing was literally three feet from hitting the ground. We're actually pretty lucky to be alive right now, to be honest. We really escaped one. We got away with one last night."
Hopkins Airport in Cleveland grounded all flights five minutes after the Browns landed, which sounds less than fun.
We're really asking if Robert Griffin III could be benched?
I get that Robert Griffin III has struggled, and often mightily. And I get that short-term memories in the year 2013 will make us all conveniently forget that he made a swift comeback from a torn knee, and didn't play a single snap in the preseason.
But outside of garbage time, there's no circumstance in which RG3 will be benched, or at least not until he does a full Ryan Leaf. Yet that question was actually asked of Mike Shanahan.

What is "locally grown" produce? Growers, shippers and marketing agents offer different answers to that question.
Some rely on geographic proximity of the field to the consumer as the final yardstick — a concept popularized by the late health magazine publisher and environmentalist Robert Rodale.
"I also think it is really important to note that the definition of local was defined by Rodale a long time ago as one day's drive, and I think this is the best definition," said Gwen Kvavli Gulliksen, sales and marketing director for Harvest Sensations, Los Angeles.
Others put a precise number of miles on the definition.
"The technical term is supposed to be within 100 miles," said Michelle Mannix, co-owner of Ted & Honey, a New York restaurant that sources products from Long Island, upstate New York and Pennsylvania.
"I'm not sure who put miles onto that definition, but living in a huge city like L.A. makes the mile definition a big deterrent to small family farmers," said Gulliksen, whose company has been involved in a farmers market program for more than 11 years.
Others say there is no universally agreed-on limit.
"I don't know that there's a set rule," said Ed Odron, owner of Odron Produce Marketing & Consulting Services, Stockton, Calif. "Is it 100 miles? 200 miles? Here in Northern California, San Diego from me is 400 miles. If I have some beautiful tomatoes out of Oceanside, they're 400 miles away, but it is also California. So, if you asked two or three different retailers, you're probably going to get five answers. There is no defining locally grown."
He said produce coming from the same state often is considered "local."
"In some states, one end to the other is 400 or 500 miles," Odron said. "I'd feel comfortable as a retailer if I put California-grown. That works. If it grows in your state, that works. If I were a retailer, I'd be marketing California-grown, and in Iowa I'd be touting Davenport or Muscatine or whatever to get that local flair. I think the customers are in tune with it."
There's hardly a consensus, though, he said.
When considering locally grown, proximity can be irrelevant, according to David Visher, senior analyst with the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program at the University of California-Davis.
He said the most important element in "local" is a connection to the grower, and that connection doesn't have to be geographic.

Boehner in the catbird's seat
Sunday, October 13, 2013
WASHINGTON — Don't feel sorry for John Boehner. His party and his country may be losers in this absurd crisis, but he clearly intends to come out a winner.
But when his caucus insisted on making ObamaCare the issue, Boehner went along. When Republicans demanded to rush into battle over the continuing resolution to fund the government, rather than be patient and orchestrate a debt-ceiling fight, Boehner went along. He looked like a general marching hither and yon according to his army's whim.
The longer the crisis goes on, the more Boehner is able to claim battle-forged solidarity with the conservatives who once thought him weak and wobbly. If Boehner wins any concessions at all, he will trumpet them as a great victory. If he gets nothing, he will have led his troops valiantly into battle against all odds. There are romantics in politics who appreciate this sort of theater.
Who's going to be speaker, if not Boehner? Who in his or her right mind would want the job? Majority Leader Eric Cantor, who once positioned himself as a more authentically conservative alternative, has allowed not a speck of daylight between himself and Boehner in this fight. Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is off quietly fiddling with numbers. Who else is even considered speaker material? |

In an age where marriage and family are under vicious and unrelenting assault, the Roman Catholic Church's zealous crusade in defense of these institutions appears impressive and praiseworthy.
On February 1, for example, Pope Benedict xvi tore into liberal politicians in Britain for trying to pass legislation that supposedly would protect homosexuals from discrimination. During a speech before 35 Catholic bishops from England and Wales, Benedict lambasted the immoral legislation and urged the bishops to work together to oppose it with "missionary zeal."

Hmm I have been trying to avoid writing a journal entry because I am so down this week, and everytime I make
a journal entry I am always all sad and stuff. I do have good days, even good weeks, I swear. They just seem
to be few and far between at the moment. Well I guess I should start off this journal entry by explaining
what happened after the panic I had in my last entry, I don't mean to be big headed by presuming anyone
will care, I just want to have some continuty in my ramblings on here.
Well basically my brother in law found some stuff on my computer that would have given him a good indication
of my sexuality, but he doesn't know that I know. Since it has happened he hasn't mentioned anything about
it to me. He has been totally normal like he always has been with me which is a really good thing! So I am
greatful for that. But I don't know if he knows and doesn't have a problem with it or he hasn't actually
copped on. Basically what he saw was my youtube account with loads of lesbian themed films saved as my
favourites. I don't know if I over reacted about him seeing it or if it was enough for it to out me to
him. I just completely paniced when I knew he had seen.
After my really big panic about it was over, it made me actually realise what a relief it could be to
actually come out. The more I have come to accept my sexuality in the last few months and weeks, the harder
it is to hide it it seems. It is starting to bother me more and more that I am hiding it. Most of my friends
have boyfriends and are so happy and in love, amd I am happy for them, but I just wish that I could be myself
and be happy too. I hate lieing to them. It feels as though my life is on hold while I wait to come out, and
to be honest I am not sure what I am waiting on anymore. Before I kept telling myself that I had to be sure
before I said anything, but now I am sure what I am and it feels like it is starting to choke me.
I was out with my friends the other night, and one of my friend's, friends kept hitting on me and my friends
kept telling me to go for it, and all I could think of was How am I going to get out of this? My friends
actually thought that I had become really quiet because I was really drunk and sleepy but I was actually
fairly sober but just really depressed about the whole situation. I feel like I am sort of a stranger to my
friends. They don't know about this part of me, and it is my fault. I have the power to tell them. Its up to
me. On top of everything else my friend whom I like a LOT was there with her new boyfriend and it was
so damn depressing to see them all cuddled up together. I was just wishing it was me holding her. The
optimist in me was holding out a tiny bit of hope that maybe she would feel the same way as me, but seeing
her with him just completely dashed that dream. Then she dragged me up to dance with her and she was messing
putting her arms around my neck and pulling me close which felt nice but at the same time I just wanted to
cry because it was like showing me what I can never have.
I have been trying not to see a lot of her, to try get over it,but then I'm so miserable not seeing her
because she is my best friend and makes me so damn happy. Arrgh it sucks. I almost told her on msn one night
that I am gay but then I got scared and backed out. Also I'm not sure that it is a good idea to tell her
since I like her so much it may be awkward.
It all just sucks, and on top of that one of my friends in college informed me today that she thinks most of
my class hate us. I was like WTf? I have not done anything to offend anyone one. Now I'm scared I am going
to turn into the person I was at school. I was shy and people picked on me for no valid reason. Then I
worked for a couple of years, met some great people and really broke out of my shell. Now I am back in
college I am reverting to the old shy bullied me dammit. And I had been loving it up to this. I guess I just
got some much on my mind right now I can't deal with anything.
Well that was really waffley and long, but it was good to vent.Thanks for reading if anyone has, and I am
sorry for being such a moany little bastard everytime I'm on here.
Aren't we all. You should tell your friends though if theire good friends they'll just accept you. Just, I'd not tell your mate you liked her (just yet) might be a bit too much information to take on at once, but if you told them/her, it would be overwith and they'd might be grateful for you being honest with them. Know it didn't help much, but it's true.
Well, if they hate you you can't do much about it, why should you care really? My classmates hate me too, (pretty openly gay) but they probably wouldn't like me anyway, so I'm just thankful for the friends I already have, becuse tehy're all that matter!
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent-Eleanor Roosevelt
THAT was being a moany bastard?! Hoo...I wonder what that makes me! heheh! If you're sure of where you stand right now and ready to come out you should go for it! I agree with holding back on telling her you like her for now though. It sounds like you guys are tight so she'll probably accept you for who you are and be fine with it. If you do decide to come out I hope it goes well!! Good luck!

noun \ˈe-chiŋ\: a picture made by putting ink on an etched piece of metal and then pressing paper against the metal
Full Definition of ETCHING
First Known Use of ETCHING
Rhymes with ETCHING
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Method of engraving in which lines or textures are bitten, or etched, into a metal plate, usually copper, with acid. The image produced has a spontaneity of line that comes from drawing on the plate in the same direct way as with pen or pencil on paper. The first etchings date from the early 16th century, but the basic principle had been used earlier for the decoration of armour. Among the pioneers of the medium were Albrecht Altdorfer, Albrecht Dürer, and Parmigianino; the greatest of all etchers was Rembrandt. In the 20th century, etching was especially popular for book illustration. See also aquatint; engraving.

Animal Sponsorship - Foster an Animal
You probably have little room for a cow in the house or a goat in the front yard, right? Gift yourself or someone else a foster parent package of one Animal Place foster animal. You will receive a wallet-sized card with a picture of your sponsored animal, a full-size color photo with your animal's story, a subscription to our Animal Place Magazine...and more importantly, you provide feed, bedding, medical care to your foster animal and others in need.
Sponsoring an animal is easy and makes for a great gift. Just choose from one of the animal ambassadors below! It's only $25.00
Alice was rescued from the Future Farmers of America (FFA) program where she would have been sent to slaughter if her 16-yr-old caregiver hadn't intervened. She is very curious but also extremely shy. If you can convince Sophie the sheep to say hi to you, Alice is sure to follow!
Daisy survived an egg farm, where she and 600 other hens were rescued from tiny metal cages. She is de-beaked, meaning a portion of her beak was cut off without pain relief as a chick. She loves grapes, but you have to cut them up for her! Daisy, like all chickens, can see ultraviolet and infrared light.
Dakota and his four brothers were rescued from a free-range turkey farm days before they were slaughtered. They were left on our door-step with a "Happy Thanksgiving" card attached...and boy is Dakota thankful for that! He loves showing off his bright, white plumage and trilling to visitors!
Ella is from a goat dairy farm. She escaped and attempts to capture her failed, so the farm gave up. Ella was befriended by a human mother-daughter team who she learned to trust. We were able to save her from marauding dogs and angry neighbors with the help of the mother and daughter.
Nick was brought to the sanctuary Christmas day, after he was confiscated outside of a Berkeley, Calif. apartment complex. He is a by-product of the dairy industry, unwanted male calves who are sold at auction for as little as $15 and raised for backyard slaughter. Lucky for Nick, we took him in and now he is a healthy, happy bovine!
Larisa and nine other rabbits all came from a school that had become a dumping ground for rabbits. The school's grand solution was to hire a sniper to deal with the unwanted bunnies. Lucky for Larisa and friends, rabbit rescues intervened!
Ruby the pig was saved from a pasture-based pig farm. The pigs had plenty of space to roam, but runt or sickly pigs are killed the same as on large, industrial farms - by being slammed against the ground. A visitor on a tour heard about this and offered to take in Ruby. She is a spunky pig who enjoys mud-baths and bossing everyone around!

When he toured the brewery on a trip to London in 1850 two drayman jumped off a cart and beat him up.

Oh, my review is here: http://kimbofo.typepad.com/readingmatters/2009/10/legend-of-a-suicide-by-david-vann.html
Legend of a Suicide by David Vann arrived from Penguin with plaudits months ago and I shelved it but I knew I would have to read it. David Vann admits in his acknowledgments that he was writing about an uncomfortable topic, his father's suicide during his own childhood and confiding that 'ther...
It's hard to imagine that London was bombed so extensively during the Second World War. And yet, there are little reminders everywhere, such as this inlaid cross in the grounds of Christ Church in Southwark. Every time I walk past it, and read the little plaque nearby, I can feel the goosebumps erupt on my skin. On 17th April 1941 Christchurch was set on fire by enemy action and the church cross fell in flames on this spot. These stones mark where the grass was scorched by the burning cross Continue reading

Thanks, Michael. It's hard not to take a great photograph of Venice's waterways though; it's such a beautiful city.
Prompted by the news that Venetians held a mock funeral for their city yesterday (because the population has dipped below 60,000), I decided to hunt out some of my Venice photographs. I've been to Venice twice -- for a few days in 2002 and a week in 2006 -- and it remains one of m...
I fired off this picture at about 2.30pm today when I was taking a lunch-time stroll along the South Bank. I hadn't really paid attention to the sky until I saw it through the viewfinder of my BlackBerry. Suddenly, it took on a life of its own: a swathe of fast-moving grey clouds on a powder blue background. Little glimmers of sunlight were shining down, turning the surface of the river into a mirror and illuminating the buildings on the north side so that they glowed a pleasant and warming gold. Looking at this picture now you'd be forgiven for... Continue reading

Dragon 32
From DragonWiki
Released in the autumn of 1982, the Dragon 32 sported a set of features that made it stand out from it's competitors like the Oric1 or the Jupiter Ace. The full sized quality keyboard, combined with a comprehensive Basic interpreter made the Dragon 32 the choice of many a first time computer buyer. Being a "clone" of the American Tandy Color Computer, there were already a vast amount of software, readily available for the Dragon 32 at it's launch. Converting software from the CoCo to the Dragon 32 was a rather easy task for UK software houses, and Dragon Data themselves and Microdeal, the main independent Dragon software house, competed in getting the european rights to software from US CoCo software developers like Tom Mix, Spectral Associates and Mark Data Products.
Different versions
There were several versions of the Dragon 32, although most of the differences were internal, and not visible to the average users. Several revisions to the main-board and the power-board were issued, some to improve stability/durability, and some to ease production or to accept different components. The main boards are marked with what version they are. The most noticable external revision is that newer versions of the case has the cutout for the Dragon 64's RS232 port, even if the port it self, of course, is not present. There were also a couple of branded versions of the Dragon 32, including the Finlux Dragon and the FarmFax Dragon. Both were plain Dragon 32's just with an added label.
There were also revisions to the boxes the Dragon 32 was delivered in. The very first Dragons came in a white box with red lettering, as well as pattern of small red dragons on it. It was the same style used for the early software boxes as well. Later boxes were black and had more advanced artwork. The first version of the "new breed" had a family sitting in front of a Dragon 32, with a drawing of a house on the screen. This version of the box seems rather rare, as it was quickly changed to the latest version, with the same family, only the picture on the screen was now a game of Cyrus Chess. The two first versions weren't really boxes at all, they were only "sleeves" that held the poly inserts together, while the latest box was a real box that could be closed around the poly.
The first load of Dragon 32's were made at the original Dragon Data premises in Swansea. Later they moved production to Port Talbot, where the 32 was made alongside the Dragon 64 (and the first batch of "Dragon by Tano"). When Spanish Eurohard SA bought Dragon Data, the production of both 32's and 64's were moved to Spain, where they were also the upgraded Dragon 200 were made. The "Made in Spain" Dragon 32's were never sold in the UK.
Dragon Data on the future of the 32 in Dragon User magazine, July 1984
Dragon Data is presently developing a lot of new products in order to enhance its existing range. When asked about a micro to replace the Dragon 32 following the news that Boots, the High Street retail chain, may pull out of selling the Dragon and is negotiating the future of the 32, Derek Williams would not commit himself. He said simply that "we are going to stay in the High Street", while Steve Davis, Dragon Data's Marketing Assistant said that the 32 is popular overseas and that Dragon Data will continue to market the 32 as long as there is a demand for it.
In-box contents/accessories
The Dragon 32 was delivered with the following accessories:
- Power supply
- Cassette cable
- RF cable
- BASIC manual (incl. localized versions in some countries)
- Quick reference guide
- Packing list (see picture below)

Tennessee Titans Can Control Destiny on Thursday Night Football
Tennessee Titans Can Control Destiny on Thursday Night Football
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with Fox 17 This Morning at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker is done for the season after suffering a Lisfranc inury, but the team's season is far from over. Yes, the loss to the previously winless Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday was a missed opportunity.
With the Indianapolis Colts getting throttled by the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, a win could have set the Titans up to share the divisional lead when they face the Colts during Thursday Night Football (on Fox 17) this week. Instead, they remain two games behind.
While it's not all roses heading into the big game on Thursday, things are not as dire as they seem.
Here are some things which make this week's game pivotal and give reason for Titans' fans to be optimistic:
--A win does put the Titans one game back, but it would tie the Colts with a 4-3 conference record. Depending on how things shake out, that record could have an impact on the Titans playoff chances down the road. Should both teams finish with the same overall record, how each team performed in head-to-head and conference games could have a huge impact.
--A Thursday Night Football win would also put the Titans in position to take control of the division within three short weeks. After Thursday, the Titans face the (3-6) Oakland Raiders on Nov. 24th, before squaring off with the Colts once again. Indianapolis will face the (5-4) Arizona Cardinals in-between matchups, posing a much tougher test. Both games are on the road, but the Cards are on the rise while the Raiders are fizzing out.
--The Colts are ranked 26th against the run this season. They are allowing an average of 126 yards per game on the ground and have allowed 8 rushes of 20-plus yards this season, tying them for the fourth-most in the league. Think Chris Johnson and Shonn Greene aren't salivating at the opportunity? It also matches up well for Fitzpatrick, allowing the offense to lean on the running game instead of putting the burden on his shoulders.
--The Titans are strong against the pass. Allowing an average of just 211 yards per game, the Titans strength matches up well against Andrew Luck's wide receivers. Don't forget, this is also a team which no longer has Reggie Wayne to lean on. Luck has been sacked seven times the last two games, something which hasn't happened since the start of the season. The Colts have also scored just 35 points the last two games, a season-low over any two-game-stretch this year.
The argument one team is catching the other at the right time can be made from either side. Both teams are coming off tough losses and both teams are down a star player. The key will be ball control and defense, two things the Titans do well.

Houston Gender Discrimination Lawyers
It is not a matter that often comes up during the course of polite discussion, but gender discrimination is still a very real and damaging presence in the American workplace. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 expressly prohibits sex-based discrimination in
- Hiring
- Firing
- Advancement
- Training
- Benefits
- Any other conditions of employment
Additionally, the Equal Pay Act of 1963 asserts that men and women are to be paid equally for equal work. Despite these clear legal mandates, many employers continue to engage in practices that are questionable at best and illegal at worst.
If you have been denied employment, advancement, or fair compensation and have reason to suspect that it is due to your sex, contact the Houston gender discrimination lawyers of the Ross Law Group at 713-482-6910.
The View through the Glass Ceiling
As surprising as it may be to encounter gender discrimination in your own career path, it is far from rare, even today. 28,372 allegations of this demoralizing form of discrimination were filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in fiscal year 2008. That means that an average of nearly 78 claims reached the highest authority on these cases each day throughout the year.
These statistics say nothing of those who suffer this indignity in silence or only in commiseration with their friends and family. Beyond this, there is ample documentation of the wage gap that exists between what men and women are paid, with women earning as little as 60 % in some situations as their male counterparts.
Contact Us
Employers need to receive a clear message that this bygone abuse of power is intolerable. Contact the Houston gender discrimination lawyers of the Ross Law Group at 713-482-6910 to hold discriminatory employers responsible for their despicable and illegal actions.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Clementine!
Facts about Clementine
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Clementine's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
This litter (all with "C" names) is very friendly and playful. They were born in early July. We don't know their breed for sure. Some look like pure Labs while others have a more fluffy hair coat.
Other Pets at CARE - Crossroads Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Clementine, a Seneca Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Seneca, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Seneca.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seneca already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Seneca breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seneca paves the way for another one to be saved.

Bring back warsow
Author | Posting |
I think it would be a good idea to bring back Warsow. [ quote ]
+1 [ quote ]
agree. .7 comes soon so the perfect time for a NA and EU ladder or something [ quote ]
Indeed, it is the best instagib game out there ... it's got the moves and speed, it should definitely be back, with appropriate anticheat it should even be a part of the EPS imo instagib of course ^_^ iduel .. idm .. (some kind of a king of the hill tourney/cup for example? ;D ) itdm .. ica .. ? [ quote ]
NO, this game is dead. [ quote ]
no insta.. only duel ladder versus 1v1 duel and duel cups *.* [ quote ]
+1 for this idea. But not insta it's by far the worst part of Warsow, just a parasite that takes away potential players and turns them into braindead point'n'clickers. [ quote ]
+1 duel ladders + duel cups *_* [ quote ]
+1 for W§W Duel and Bomb leagues/cups/ladders! [ quote ]
+1 for normal weapons duel, iduel and bomb. If it comes back I hope somoene(or 2,3) is up for the task of managing the Warsow section. [ quote ]
Would definitely like to see warsow duel ladder, hope it'll get implemented. [ quote ]
+1 nw duel !
-- twitter.com/ROGAAAJJ [ quote ]
I +1 for an instagib duel and regular duel ladder. Maybe a duel arena ladder also. Anything but 1v1 gametypes would be unrealistic. [ quote ]
Firstly I would like to say that with the recent patch of Quake-Live where they supposedly screwed over their free members - The numbers of Quake-Live players has apparently dropped by a bit. Now of course I do not want someone to take this out of context; this is but a rumor that has been going around and I am just simply not helping by spreading it. Secondly with the release of Warsow 1.0 - Warsow has finally came out of the wood works and is no longer in beta, its a full product that has fully developed features. Its not what it was like 2-5 years ago, it has completely changed. It is one of the most polished games out there on the market that is a free to play shooter that requires a lot of skill and knowledge over some other games that I will not name just to remain professional. Warsow isn't just "another quake game" - It's different, it's what people have been waiting for in the past year or two. I'm sure that Quake players such as myself who have played Quake for years want a change of scenery from the moderately paced Quake-Live. Theres a lot more gameplay factors inside of Warsow that makes it different to Quake-Live, whilst they may not be obvious to the eye within the first few seconds, you will soon figure them out and love them. I could name a few such as 'Air-control' or 'Tiered armor system'. Those two by themselves make Warsow stand out a lot more than the other "Quake-clones" that people see out there. I really do wish for Warsow to be picked up by ESL and have regular and big, meaningful cups. I propose that the following modes should be supported: Capture The Flag - Capture The Flag is a great fun mode to play in Warsow with the amazing movement system that Warsow has. The map design and possibillities that players can create opens up CTF to be a really fun mode for everyone whilst at the same time it can easily be competitive. It was only last morning where we saw the KYA Capture The Flag cup, where it presented some great games and fun for everyone - Even fun for those who were on the losing teams. :> The format is usually 4on4 with a 15 minute time limit. Bomb - Bomb mode is basically Counter-Strike, with a few changes. You can only select a few weapons at a time and you cant pickup the bomb after its been planted (As well as many more different alterations). Its a great mode that anyone can get into, its really noob friendly and fun for everyone whilst it also displays a great amount of skill and performance under pressure. The format is usually 5on5, max rounds per half is 15 and score limit is 16. Duel - I don't think I need to put anything here. A normal 10 minute duel is awesome and I think thats it. [ quote ]
I would be up for helping with a fresh Warsow-Section here at the ESL. [ quote ]
+1 for bringing back Warsow! [ quote ]
1.02 is out +1 [ quote ]

Most articles about Dressy Bessy suggest that singer/guitarist Tammy Ealom is as bubbly as the hook-o-rama tunes she pens — and in conversation, her easy laughter and occasional giddiness seem to confirm this impression. But she also displays a steely tone at times, making it clear that despite her fun-loving reputation, she's serious about her music. She talks about her growing confidence in "my songwriting, my message, my voice"; points out that "in the past, songs have usually come because there was some sort of animosity or turmoil going on in my life"; and emphasizes that she's first among equals in the group's current lineup. "Everybody's just fitting in and letting me be in charge, which has always been a problem," she admits. "I'm not bossy, but I definitely know how the songs are supposed to go. Who better?"
Good question. Guitarist/vocalist John Hill, who's also Ealom's significant other, certainly has an impressive pedigree given his continuing membership in the Apples in Stereo. Yet even a decade ago, when his experience far outstripped hers, Ealom was always the driving creative force in the band, and that's still the case on Holler and Stomp, Dressy Bessy's new album for Transdreamer Records. All of the songs on the disc are credited solely to Ealom, and she's front and center on each one. Holler and Stomp also displays Dressy Bessy's continuing evolution toward a tougher variation on its trademark bouncy pop sound. "Do You Whisper?" isn't quiet in the slightest, while "Left to the Right" and "Ten Million Stars" grind persuasively. As for "Simple Girlz," the irresistible lead single, it mates lyrics that reject the idea of being one-dimensionally upbeat with a chugging riff that reflects Ealom's sonic mood of late.
"I just want to go out and rock people's socks off," she says. "I rock my own off, too. It's good exercise."
Ealom came of age in Colorado Springs, and at least one of her early musical experiences was notably painful. She was hanging with what she calls a "pseudo-hippie crowd" at the time, and she agreed to drive them to a Blues Traveler show at Red Rocks even though she didn't have a ticket. Then, after her friends entered the amphitheater, she and one other ticket-less pal "had this bright idea that we were going to rush the gates." Against all odds, they made it past security, but as she reached the top of the landing, she says, "my flip-flop flipped under my foot because the part that fits between your toes broke, and I flew down that first flight of stairs and landed on my shoulder." The injury hurt worse and worse as the hours passed, but she refused to leave until the show was over and even drove her fellow travelers home before calling her mom and asking for a ride to the hospital. Turns out she'd waited through an entire concert by a band whose music she knew and cared nothing about with a broken collarbone — a decision that still astonishes her. "Stupid, stupid girl," she says, chuckling.
Upon moving to Denver, Ealom first established herself as a photographer — an art form she continues to practice for Dressy Bessy's album packages and her own pleasure. "I'm constantly shooting," she points out. "I have to. I get depressed if I don't. That's part of my existence." Then, in the mid-'90s, she earned a slot in 40th Day, one of the most enduring acts of the era — a big, dramatic-sounding outfit that has little in common sonically with the music Ealom would make in the future. "I just auditioned for the band for the fun of it — like, 'Sure, okay, I'll do it. Okay, cool,'" she recalls. "And I found out I had a knack for melody and an idea for song arrangements." As time wore on, however, she began to chafe at the limits of her role: "I didn't have any control of arrangements or parts of songs or anything like that. And that's basically why I moved on and learned how to play guitar real quick. I had an idea how songs should go in my head, anyway, and the only way to get them out was just to break off, do it."
Hill, whom Ealom had started dating before Dressy Bessy's birth, helped facilitate her artistic growth, buying her a guitar for her birthday and showing her how to use his four-track before heading off on an Apples tour. By the time he returned, she'd written a batch of songs, mostly about him. The first, "Mr. Man," remains unrecorded, and she declares, "I should bring that one back." Soon, she and Hill, along with bassist Rob Greene and drummer Darren Albert, were gigging around town and releasing singles and EPs that led to a deal with Kindercore, a highly influential label out of Athens, Georgia, whose catalogue includes recordings by groups such as Of Montreal and I Am the World Trade Center. Pink Hearts Yellow Moons, their charming debut full-length, arrived in 1999, followed by three more Kindercore releases — 2002's SoundGoRound and a pair of 2003 efforts, Little Music and a self-titled CD/DVD combo — that helped the players build a sizable cult following in the U.S. and internationally.

A while back I asked about breaking up connections and I was told to get a switchbox. Where we used to live, that was a good suggestion, but only because their DSL modem had a router inside the modem.
We recently got DSl at our apartment and we just got a basic DSL modem without a built in router. Well the switch box won't work with that.
So I need to know, and I don't think it is possible, but is there software I can install to make like a virtual router? And if not, what type of router would you suggest for these needs:
Split a DSL connection to multiple computers, PS2, Xbox 360

Since this last rain, our pond has become a toad love shack. The males croak all night. I found a cluster of sticky, large, light orange eggs stuck inside one of our skimmer baskets the other day. Are these toad eggs? What should I do with them? If I let them hatch in the pond what will the tadpoles do? When / if they develop into toads, will they go away, or will the pond become overstocked with toads? I read somewhere on the web, that you can collect the male toads in a bucket overnight, and they will be quiet, but that seems cruel.
Any thoughts?

PTR Notes: New Arena weapons, Fanatacism tweak, Hunter dead zone
- Three new Arena weapons: A caster staff, a gun, and a bow.
- The Retribution Paladin talent Fanaticism has been changed to decrease threat only when Righteous Fury is not active.
- The range for a Hunter's ranged attacks has been changed from 1 - 41 yards, eliminating their dead zone.
- The Mage's Ritual of Refreshment now requires 2 arcane powder instead of a rune of portals.
- The 4-piece bonus on the Mage PvP set has been changed to 2 seconds off the cooldown of Blink.
- Sorry, Hunters, but those cool-looking Zul'Aman bears are no longer tamable.
- Mats for the Adamantite Arrow Maker reduced. Was: Adamantite Frame, Simple Wood x10, Fel Iron Bolts x2. Now: Adamantite Bar, Simple Woodx4, Fell Iron Bolts x2. However, the schematic no longer specifies that the item has multiple charges. Whether this means the new version of the Adamantite Arrow Maker is single-charge or if that particular information was cut off the tooltip for some reason, I can't say. Any engineers out there want to hop on the PTRs, make one, and let us know if the item itself has been changed?
- Darnassus has its own guild bank now.
- Ogri'la potions buffed.
- New Sporebat pet for exalted Sporregar faction.
- New level 70 elite guards outside Zul'Aman. However, these guards certainly aren't graphically themed for Zul'Aman (and why would Tauren and Orcs be guarding a Troll temple?), and I wonder if they've been added to the PTRs to curtail the PvP-fest happening outside.

In just two days, little Suri Cruise has been photographed twice, drinking milk from a Playtex nurser bottle.
While her mother is filming her scenes from new movie, Son Of No One, Suri is in the care of others, sucking on a bottle like it's going out of style.
The following day, Suri was spotted again, with a bottle in hand. While her teeth appear to be suffering no ill effects from the bottle usage, it's common for parents to yank that away in trade for a sippy cup as soon as the kid can hold one well enough.
It's just a matter of parenting, if you ask me. If someone is shoving a bottle in this kid's mouth just to shut her up, then that's just lazy. But, on the other hand, if it's done as a means of comfort, then I might be willing to go along with that.
It's just weird that she wants to grow up and wear heels and lipstick, but she can't put the bottle down.

Game 8 Preview: New Jersey Devils at New York Islanders
Sunday, February 3rd – 3:00 PM
Radio: Bloomberg 1130 AM
This Sunday matinee, in what is definitely the most anticipated sporting event of the day, will feature the visiting New Jersey Devils (3-1-3, 9 points) and the host New York Islanders (4-2-1, 9 points). The Islanders will be playing their second straight game against the Devils and the Devils will be playing their second straight game against the Islanders. Wait, what? Penguins? When did the Devils play the Penguins yesterday??
The Devils defeated the Islanders at Nassau Coliseum on Opening Night, 2-1, but the Isles returned the favor in overtime at the Prudential Center just a few nights ago, 5-4.
There are two ways of looking at what has gone on recently: the Devils had their 12-game regular season unbeaten streak (in regulation) snapped yesterday by the Penguins or the Devils lost their fourth straight game, 5-1, in a game that wasn't really competitive. Of course, both perspectives are accurate, but it seems many fans have chosen the latter. Before you start panicking too much, or if you already have perhaps calm down a bit, remember that this team has barely been together for three weeks. They have had limited practice, no pre-season and most Devils were not playing in the AHL or overseas during the lockout. And while most NHL teams were on the golf course last May and June, the Devils were busy playing in some pretty important games. So maybe it isn't time to panic just yet.
Good teams find ways to overcome adversity and bounce back from a bad game. Any way you look at it, yesterday was a bad game for the Devils. The 5-1 final score was a fair indicator of play throughout the game. The Devils didn't do much of anything offensively and they were quite messy defensively. It doesn't take a highly paid expert analyst or rocket scientist to realize that not scoring and not preventing your opponent from scoring is not going to lead to much success.
But let's forget the past. Somehow, the Devils need to find a way to get off to a better start. Poor first periods have hampered the team all season, even when they were winning the first three games. The stellar goaltending of Martin Brodeur and Johan Hedberg covered some of the team's flaws early on, but the law of averages seemed to catch to them yesterday. Perhaps the law of averages will catch up to the Devils, and they'll put some pucks in the Islanders' net today.
There's a very good chance that by the time this preview gets posted, Pete DeBoer will have confirmed whether or not Bobby Butler will play today. Assuming he will, it will be his Devils' debut, as the AHL All-Star was re-called from Albany last night. Perhaps adding Butler to the lineup can spark the team offensively a bit.
The Islanders haven't played since beating the Devils on Thursday night in New Jersey. They beat the Penguins before, so this is a high-scoring team that is on a roll right now. With the Islanders scoring and winning like this, it's like the 1980s all over again…minus the four straight championships. For now, at least…
The key to the Islanders' success this season has been their remarkable play on special teams, similar to how the Devils found success last season. Thursday's game was a perfect case and point: they scored three power play goals on four chances, including the bizarre overtime winner and killed all of the Devils' power plays.
Leading the team offensively is young star John Tavares, which should be no surprise. He scored two goals and added a helper on Thursday, and will figure to be a huge factor in today's contest as well. Despite Tavares' team-leading 11 points, offense has come from multiple sources this season on Long Island. Five Islanders have three or more goals already this season.
Keys to victory:
Many of the keys to victory have already been highlighted above, including getting off to a good start and special teams. In three of the Devils' four losses this season, not only have they allowed the first goal of the game, they've actually trailed 2-0 in all three of them. Scoring first would be a good idea for the Devils today. Scoring first could relax the whole team, and they might score again second, third, fourth, fifth and so on!
Another key would certainly be the special teams battle. The Islanders definitely dominated on special teams Thursday. Their power play completely schooled the Devils all night and the Devils were unable to respond on their power play chances. The Devils have been shaky on both ends of special teams this season, despite their strong special teams last season.
The final key is to outscore the opposition, but that's obvious and you knew that already. The Devils must score goals at all costs short of throwing hot dogs at the opposing goalie (if you don't get that reference, please Google it!).
Projected line combinations (subject to change up until puck drop, and after that too):
Zubrus – Henrique – Kovalchuk
Elias – Zajac – Clarkson
Carter – Gionta – Bernier
Barch – Josefson – Butler*
Tallinder – Zidlicky
Salvador – Volchenkov
Greene – Larsson
Moulson – Tavares – Okposo
Grabner – Nielsen – Boyes
Ullstrom – Aucoin – (unknown player)
Martin – Reasoner – Boulton
Strait – Streit
McDonald – Hamonic
Finley – Carkner

In what I immediately thought was a stroke of good will and good fortune for Iraq's struggling museums, Greece has said it will aid with money and expertise, according to this Reuters report in Yahoo! News. However the article also specifies that both antiquities departments will erect a statue/monument of Alexander the Great at the site in northern Iraq where Alexander defeated Darius III which basically brought the Persian Empire to an end. Is this a total snub at neighboring Iran or what? And seriously, why are they spending money on this monument when it should be going to, uh maybe rebuilding the museums or paying for site guards to protect archaeological sites from looting??
Speaking of museums, this interesting article talks about the university officials at Brandeis selling off all the art in its collection and closing their university museum. This smacks a lot of the MASCA fiasco at U Penn, which the article chronicles in detail, and is a stark wake-up call to the reality that museums are loosing a financial, academic and culture battle to remain "relevant" in the eyes of universities. This particular issue makes me exceedingly angry, especially since I don't see many pay cuts happening for chancellors, regents, or college football coaches for that matter ($6M to coach? Really?). Why is it that museums, music, drama and art programs are always the first to go? These elements are so important to our society's well-being!
At least in these dreary times for museums, we can still debate about pyramids in Europe. Ya you heard me. I don't think I've blogged about this before, but it has been in the news for a while. Take a gander at the picture (lifted from this article) and tell me whether or not you think it is a man-made structure, located in Bosnia, FYI.
Last, for all you mariners out there, the Phoenician Expedition will have to wait until the prevailing winds are favorable (in summer 2009) before heading off on their historic trip around the Cape of Good Hope on a life-sized replica of a Phoenician ship (circa 600 BC). I think the fact that they have a 180 HP engine built into the ship "for emergencies and to help the crew maneuver in and out of ports" is total bollocks. If the point of the whole thing is to learn about ancient Phoenician sailing, shouldn't they at least, ya know, try and recreate..ancient Phoenician sailing?
Ok this post has seriously too much rant. Need to lay off the Caucasians I guess. That, or go get a refill.

The butterfly lives in a seamless realm, a matrix, poetically in the palm of God/dess's hand, not alien or estranged. Is it possible for us to find that kind of confidence, or trust in the nature of the Universe itself? Let's take a moment or two to think about Wisdom, and our place in the Universe. What kind of liturgy, or worship experience, would celebrate the kind of inclusive, nurturing community the butterfly knows without thinking about it?

Compliant and openly accepting of church theology and doctrines, they seemed focused on being perfect Christian's. Like the sheep from my homesteading days, compliance and obedience seemed to be important values for them. And being right often seemed more important to them than love and compassion.

So I thought I'd check out some Christian communities where I thought I might perhaps fit in. I attended Quaker meetings for awhile, and while there is much to be said for simplicity and silence, I need more stimulation. So I thought I'd check out this mainline Protestant church, where I'd find a more familiar structure, including hymns and a sermon. Here are some thoughts after visiting this particular congregation twice…
read moreI believe in God.
(Except when I don't.)
When others tell me who God is,
I'm believing not so much.
When I kiss my daughters goodnight,
my belief is overwhelming.
"you who delight me" is in two parts:
poems of love—secular and spirited writing about people, places and events; and
words of spirit and faith—inclusive language, contemporary liturgies for individual contemplation and progressive faith communities.
Before the Beginning,
The Egg,
Simply, infinitely being,
Unimpeded, and
The Word.
Why may the majority of scholars be right, that the Bible is not a reliable book of history, although much of its historical sections are indeed based on actual events and real places in the larger picture?

is the lack
of imagination.
It was never fully hidden but now, for sure, the tendency of religious institutions to quash doubt and keep it under wraps has succumbed to an end-around play. People can connect cross-country and around the world, and do so anonymously if they want! This is a big, big help to many. It is only one expression of a broad and accelerating shift in the way religion and spiritual life are viewed and practiced.
