"I changed the front of the card to read my initals and worked with the designer to make them in a a scripty monogram. Absolutely gorgeous! I love the modern, girly feel. I choose the pink version and used the Lady Kate font for my monogram. Love them! Another great product from WPD!"
"This card is adorable and perfect for thank-yous for my fiance's and my wedding shower/cocktail party. My only problem with the product, I didn't bother to check on dimensions and I thought it'd be larger (more like a postcard)."
"When I first came across this design I immediately fell in love and ordered it right away. It wasn't until the cards arrived today that I saw the girl was wearing a veil!! Hahaha! Darn it!! I don't know how I missed it! Oh well, I guess I can still use it. I ordered a set for a best friend of mine in black and white and that came out very nice as well. In some ways, the black and white version of this card is actually nicer than pink. Overall, I'm very pleased and look forward to using these!"
"My fiance and I selected this card to use for a couples shower. We customized it by making the background behind the "thank you" in a fuchsia color and then having a solid smoke border that was not as thick as the original design. We thought it was very cute, simple, and clean looking - much to our style! Paper quality is good and we thought it was the perfect size."
"This design is so bright and cheery. I cannot wait for my friends and family to receive these thank you cards. They will surely put a smile on anyones face!"

Gynecologic Oncologist: Job Description, Duties and Requirements
Gynecologic oncologists evaluate and treat cancer found in the female reproductive system. They can perform surgery, prescribe therapy and are responsible for related medical procedures. Gynecologic oncologists require eight years of education and training beyond a bachelor's degree and must earn a license to practice. Board certification is also available in the specialty.
Job Description for a Gynecologic Oncologist
Gynecologic oncologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in female reproductive organs. They're trained in a variety of diagnostic techniques and management procedures, such as surgery on reproductive organs, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. They can also perform medical procedures on non-reproductive organs affected by gynecologic cancer treatment such as the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts.
Many oncology professionals work in private practices or clinics, but make regular rounds to their patients who are confined to hospitals. They can also teach in medical schools or perform research.
Duties of a Gynecologic Oncologist
Gynecologic oncologists perform physical evaluations and collect detailed medical histories. In addition to medical duties, they educate patients and their families on various forms of cancer, possible progression and treatment options. Diagnostic techniques that can be employed include staining, tissue sampling procedures and medical imaging.
After identifying normal cells, benign conditions and malignancies, gynecologic oncologists develop a plan for treatment and therapy. Therapy options might include treatment of the related effects of cancer, like shock or renal failure. They could also incorporate nutritional aspects and blood transfusions into a treatment plan. They typically manage nurses and administrative workers, maintain medical records and refer patients to other medical specialists as necessary.
Requirements to Become a Gynecologic Oncologist
Education Requirements
Like other physicians, gynecologic oncologists must complete up to eight years of combined undergraduate and medical school education. They can earn either a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. After graduation, they must complete a 4-year general residency in obstetrics and gynecology. Following residency, they could continue their residency or seek a fellowship opportunity in general oncology or gynecologic oncology.
Licensure and Certification
Once a general residency is complete, aspiring gynecologic oncologists must pass a national medical licensing examination to practice in any state. Though not required, board certification is available in general obstetrics and gynecology through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Board-certified physicians can then complete a 3-year residency or fellowship in gynecologic oncology to qualify for certification in the subspecialty. Both certification options require applicants to take written and oral examinations (www.abog.org).
Career Info for Gynecologic Oncologists
PayScale.com reported a median salary of $207,978 for oncologists in general in February 2014. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an 18% increase in employment for physicians overall throughout the 2012-2022 time period. Job prospects were expected to be best for those physicians specializing in ailments of the baby boomer population.

Countdown to Wrath Giveaway: Day 7 - BlizzCon Polar Bear Mounts {WoW}
Nov 6th 2008 9:45PM I'm from Canada and we already have polar bear mounts but having one in game would be nice too!
Ask WoW Insider: Casual Raiding -- does it exist? {WoW}
May 26th 2008 3:35PM "Casual Raiding Guild" is difficult to define as it can mean many things. Does it mean your schedule is casual? Are raids even scheduled? Are there attendance requirements? Gear requirements? It could mean anything.
Vex (http://www.wowvex.net) on Thunderlord is what you might call a casual raiding guild. Not quite though.
A more accurate description would be that we are a raiding guild with no raid attendance requirements. You aren't punished if you don't raid but we still require our members to be good raiders. Due to our lack of attendance requirements it means we have to have a larger raiding base than other guilds out there and our progress isn't as fast as the top guilds.
We just killed Vashj last week as we wanted to become better raiders and finish what we started. The confidence boost from beating the hardest boss in the game is pretty good too. We are 6/6 SSC, 3/4 TK, 1 BT, 1 Hyjal.
One side effect of our guild structure is that we have alot of older (ie mature) players that have lives outside of the game. It makes for a solid and well organized guild.
Hacked and robbed blind, one guild's cautionary tale {WoW}
Feb 29th 2008 5:20PM Ummm, this isn't a case of being hacked and it probably wasn't a case of one of your Officers cleaning out the bank. It's a bug in Blizzards guild bank system that has been around for quite some time. I think it's even been reported on wow insider before too.
The same thing that happened to you, happened to us recently. null user that was Guild Master but there hasn't been a Guild Master transfer fo power for over 8 months and the old Guild Master isnt't even in our guild anymore.
What happens is that you invite an 'alt' to the guild who was Guild Master in their own little guild. When they are invited they retain the Guild Master permissions from their previous guild even though they are labeled as a member in your guild. This allows them to take anything and everything they want. Then they change their name or transfer off the server with all your loot.
Blizzard knows of this bug and they should restore all your items. They did it for us without even blinking an eye.
Breakfast topic: How do you control your character? {WoW}
Apr 4th 2007 10:10AM I own a Nostromo but I have found two things wrong with it. 1) It doesn't fit my hand properly and is uncomfortable and 2) when I want to text to someone I have to move my hand back to the keyboard anyway...
As for setup, I use the mouse/keyboard combo. Mouse for turning, autorun and vent.
My keyboard is:
WAFX to move.
ZCVB for spells/commands/etc
I stay away from SHIFT/CTRL/etc as those move my fingers away from the center line of the keyboard.

I Drive Safely » Alabama » Sitemap » Suspended Driver's License in Alabama |
Alabama Suspended License
You can get a suspended license in Alabama for a number of reasons:
- You've accumulated too many points on your driving record within a specific amount of time
- You are convicted of driving under the influence (DUI)
- You drive while your license is suspended, or you drive when you don't have your license with you
- You drive without proper insurance, or you fail to provide proof of your insurance
- You are convicted of reckless driving
- You are found to be at fault in a fatal accident
- You abandon your car on a public highway
License suspension means that in addition to Alabama traffic ticket fines, you will be unable to drive for a specific period of time. The length of the suspension depends on the reason your driving privileges were taken away in the first place.
The Alabama point system is in place to track how well you are driving. Each ticket comes with a set number of points according to the severity of the violation. The number of points you accrue within a given period of time will determine the length of your suspension period. The standard suspension periods in the state are:
- 12-14 points within 2 years: 60-day suspension
- 15-17 points within 2 years: 90-day suspension
- 18-20 points within 2 years: 120-day suspension
- 21-23 points within 2 years: 180 days
- 24 or more points within 2 years: 365-day suspension
License suspension is serious, which is why it's important to follow the rules. If you have a suspended license in Alabama, keep the following in mind:
- If your license hasn't already been taken away in court, it is your responsibility to surrender it to the Alabama Motor Vehicles Division. You can either surrender it in person at a Driver License Office or through the mail.
- You are not allowed to drive while your license is suspended. If you are caught doing so, your suspension may be increased, or you could be imprisoned for up to 5 years.
- Once your suspension is over, you will receive a written notice in the mail with instructions on restoring your license. You may not drive until you have followed the proper procedure and received a valid replacement license.
The Alabama Motor Vehicle Division will send you a Notice of Restoration once your suspension period is complete. This notice will have instructions on how to get your license reinstated. The procedure is typically as follows:
- Pay the restoration fee. It is usually $100, but may be higher depending on what you were cited for
- Revoked license: $175
- Alcohol/drug-related offenses: $275
- Failure to pay child support/failure to surrender license within 30 days: $50
- Apply for a license renewal
After your license is renewed, you will be on a 1-year mandatory probation period. Any other violations during this time may result in another suspension of your license.
Preventing license suspension will save you both time and money. Dealing with a suspended driver's license is a major hassle—apart from all the penalties, you have to worry about finding an alternative form of transportation. To help avoid getting your license suspended in the future, you should:
- Never mix drinking and driving: Not only do you risk consequences like license suspension for breaking Alabama DUI laws, but you're also a danger to yourself and others when you get behind the wheel after drinking.
- Be a safe driver: By driving safely, you'll prevent yourself from getting traffic tickets, which will mean fewer points on your driving record, and less chance of a suspension.

April 12, 2012, 11:45 AM
By Chris Jones
Ethan Hill
Published in the May 2012 issue of Esquire, on sale soon
On the twenty-second floor of the Fisk Building in New York an elegant brick giant built in 1921, stretching an entire block of West Fifty-seventh Street between Broadway and Eighth Avenue the hallways are lined with doors bearing gold plaques. The plaques reveal the professions of the people at work behind them: lawyers, accountants, financial advisors. But one plaque displays only a name, with no mention of the man's business: ROBERT A. CARO.
Behind that door on this February morning, as on most mornings for the twenty-two years he has occupied this office, Caro is hunched over his desk. His tie is still carefully knotted; his hair is slicked back. But his fingers are black with pencil. In front of him is a pile of white paper: the galleys for The Passage of Power, the fourth book in his enormous biography, The Years of Lyndon Johnson. The seventy-six-year-old Caro has worked on this project nearly every day since 1974; he has been working on this particular volume for ten years. In most cases, once a book reaches galleys once it has been designed and typeset and a few preliminary copies printed, unbound it is finished, or close to it. All that remains is one last pass. This is not true for Caro. For him, the galleys are simply another stage of construction. Less than three months before three hundred thousand copies of his book are due to be in stores on May 1, Caro has torn down and rebuilt the fifth paragraph on the 452nd page and torn it down again. (It is, in fact, the fifth paragraph on the 2,672nd page of his work, factoring in the first three volumes of the series: The Path to Power, Means of Ascent, and Master of the Senate.) Now nearly every word of it sits dismantled in front of him like the pieces of a watch. He starts fresh. "The defeat had repercussions beyond the Court," he writes.
This was meant to be the last of the Johnson books, but it is not. The Passage of Power spans barely four years in 605 pages. It picks up Johnson's story with the 1960 Democratic nomination, won by a young senator from Massachusetts named John F. Kennedy, and it ends with President Lyndon Johnson passing the Civil Rights Act in 1964. There is an assassination in between. On two large rectangular bulletin boards, Caro has carefully pinned up his outline for his next volume, the fifth book, the rest of the story: Vietnam, resignation, defeat. The pages of that outline overlap the lighter rectangles where the outline for the fourth book had been pinned for so many years. "I don't feel my age," Caro says, "so it's hard for me to believe so much time has passed." He knows the last sentence of the fifth book, he says the very last sentence. He knows what stands between him and those final few words, most immediately the fifth paragraph on page 2,672. He digs his pencil back into the paper.
This room is almost a temple to timelessness. Caro has worked with the same set of tools since 1966, when he began his first book, The Power Broker, his definitive 1,162-page biography of Robert Moses, the controversial New York planner and builder. For so many writers, for most of them, The Power Broker, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1975, would represent their crowning achievement; for Caro, it was just the beginning. Back then, he and his wife, Ina, lived in a pretty little house in Roslyn, Long Island he was a reporter at Newsday and one of the great crumbling neighboring estates had a fire sale. Caro went. He bought a chess set, and he bought a lamp. The lamp was bronze and heavy and sculpted, a chariot rider pulled along by two rearing horses. "It cost seventy-five dollars," Caro remembers. The chess set is hidden away under a couch in their apartment on Central Park West. The lamp is here on his desk, spilling light onto his galleys. Except for a brief period when he couldn't afford an office, when Caro worked instead in the Allen Room at the New York Public Library, he has written every word of every one of his books in the same warm lamplight, millions of words under the watch of that chariot rider and his two horses.
"Nobody believes this, but I write very fast," he says.
Before he writes, however, he sits at his desk, and he looks out his window at the glass building across the street, and he thinks about what each of his books is to become. In those quiet moments, he remembers the words of one of his professors from when Caro was a young man at Princeton, studying literature. The professor was the critic and poet R. P. Blackmur, and Caro, who always wrote his assignments in a hurry, under the pressure of deadline, and who usually received good grades for his rushed work, thought he had fooled him. Blackmur was not fooled: "You're not going to achieve what you want to achieve, Mr. Caro, unless you stop thinking with your fingers," the poet said.
So Caro knits together his fingers until he knows what his book is about. Once he is certain, he will write one or two paragraphs he aims for one, but he usually writes two, a consistent Caro math that capture his ambitions. Those two paragraphs will be his guide for as long as he's working on the book. Whenever he feels lost, whenever he finds himself buried in his research or dropping the thread over the course of ten years, a man can become a different man entirely he can read those two paragraphs back to himself and find anchor again.
The Passage of Power, more than anything else, is a book of transition. Caro met Johnson only once, just shook his hand, in 1964; it was the day Ted Kennedy was in his plane crash, and Caro covered Johnson's visit to the hospital. Johnson was at his greatest height just then, and this book lifts us up there with him. The '60 election; Johnson's miserable, lonely period as vice-president; his blood feud with Robert Kennedy; the assassination; the aftermath and Johnson's overwhelming assertion of political power it feels in some ways as though each chapter could have been a book unto itself. When Caro talks about his work, about his moments of discovery, about those afternoons when the words just pour out of him, that this book is coming out at all seems like a miracle, as though a decade weren't nearly enough time.
But time is constantly falling away. Luckily, Caro has always had a second anchor. The way he knows the last line for the final volume on Johnson, he has always known the last line for each book before he writes the rest of it. "This is the way I do it," he says. "I'm not saying this is the right way to do it, but this is the right way for me to do it." He has done it this way since he sat in Flushing Meadows Park in 1967, watching Robert Moses dedicate "a huge marble bench for reflection donated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of New York," Caro later wrote. In that moment at the park, Caro found himself grasping. He had already done so much reporting, but he still couldn't see the shape of The Power Broker. "It was so big, so immense," he says, "I couldn't figure out what to do with the material." Then he watched Moses give his dedication. "Someday, let us sit on this bench and reflect on the gratitude of man," Moses said over loudspeakers. The builder was already being broken down by then, his legacy already starting to crumble, and his few still-loyal lieutenants in the audience nodded and began to whisper to one another: Couldn't people see what he had done? Why weren't they grateful?
Why weren't they grateful?
Caro had his last line. "All of a sudden, I knew what the book was."
He gestures at the pile of paper on his desk.
"So with every book," he says, "I have to write to the last line."

"Delivered", a surreal banjo ballad that conjures up images of a jungle river baptism, garnered an award for Best Roots Song at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards in Nashville. In 2011, The Boom Booms released their debut album ¡Hot Rum! This album, along with their strong live performance and incredible stage presence, earned the sextet a spot in the 2011 Peak Performance Project, BC's most prestigious contest for emerging musicians. They went on to win second place and picked up a cash prize of $75,000. Since then, The Boom Booms have wrapped up a successful tour of Brazil, which included sold out performances in both Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, playing for one thousand people in the heart of the Amazon. While on tour, the band fell in love with the Brazilian culture, music and people. They created a series of videos to raise awareness for the Belo Monte Dam in the Amazon Rainforest that is destroying and displacing a huge number of locals and causing an ecological disaster.

Layoffs Watch '12: Acquisition Of Jefferies By Perpetrators Of Cow Genocide Bodes Well For Firm's Employees
By Bess LevinRumors began to circulate late last year that Jefferies could be acquired by a large bank, something that would surely result in layoffs. "When banks buy other banks, people lose their jobs," said Richard Lipstein, managing director at executive search firm Gilbert Tweed Associates. "If you look at a sale of an investment bank, this is as close to perfect as it gets." Leucadia, often compared to Berkshire Hathaway for its diverse set of holdings, already owns a 28% stake in Jefferies, meaning it intimately knows the firm and its culture, and believes in its direction, Lipstein said…As for layoffs, "there likely won't be any," said one headhunter who works with Jefferies and requested anonymity. "Now they'll have a stronger balance sheet, and the ability to pick up slack where other firms have left off," said the recruiter. [eF, earlier]

FSA Willing To Give Guy Who Poses "Extreme Risk To The Market When Drunk" Second Chance
By Bess LevinAlthough not authorized to invest company cash in trades, Steve Perkins, a long standing, senior broker at PVM Oil Futures, had managed to spend $520 million on oil futures contracts throughout the night of June 30, 2009, the FSA said today. On the morning of the 30th, an admin clerk called Perkins to ask why he had bought 7 million barrels of crude during the night. Perkins had no recollection of the transactions, and it turned out that he had made the trades during a "drunken blackout," according to the FSA. By the time PVM realized the transactions had not been authorized by a client, they had incurred losses of $9,763,252. Between the hours of 1:22 a.m. and 3:41 a.m., Perkins gradually bought 69 percent of the global market, while driving prices up from $71.40 to $73.05, by bidding higher each time. At 6:30 a.m., presumably sobering up and realizing what he'd done, he sent a message to his managing director claiming an unwell relative meant he would not be able to make it into work. Following an official investigation Perkins admitted to having a drink problem, had his trading license revoked for five years, and was given a fine of £72,000 ($116,878). The FSA has said that they will re-approve his license after the five-year period, if he has recovered from his drinking problem, although they warned that,"Mr Perkins poses an extreme risk to the market when drunk."

Harbinger Capital-backed LightSquared is a wireless venture that seeks to create "convenient connectivity for all." Unfortunately, as the Wilbur Falcone fans among us know, it's looking like it'll be a dark day in hell before that happens, on account of bunch of forces working together to shut this thing down at every turn, including but not limited to the yachting community that claims GSP interference caused by LS will result in boats getting lost at sea; the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, which has said LightSquared "may degrade precision services that track hurricanes, guide farmers and help build flood defenses"; and the FAA, which recently put out a study estimating LS could "cost 794 lives in aviation accidents over 10 years with disruptions to satellite-aided navigation." Also not helping is the fact that LightSquared filed for bankruptcy in May, the company is blowing through cash faster than Wilbur's Studio 54 days, and senior executives won't stop quitting. While some people might take stock of the situation and decide, at this point, to throw in the towel, Wilbur Falcone's benefactor is not some people. He's making this thing work if it's the last thing he does. So, what now? Obviously a couple of miracle workers are going to be needed and the thing about miracle workers is that they don't come cheap. Gotta spend money to make money. Read more »

We at Hodinkee have always viewed vintage and rare watches as more than just fashion accessories; they can be actual long-term investments. If you do your research, talk to the right people, and make informed decisions, your vintage watch might actually see a better return than your stock portfolio (we can almost guarantee it if you're looking at the last few weeks).
We aren't the only people who think so. An article over at Men.Style.Com, the online home of GQ and Details Magazine, gives you an idea of some of the best buys in watches at reasonable prices, using today's Antiquorum auction as examples. Actually, our very own editor was consulted for this article by choosing 6 of the best buys that are poised to climb in value in the next few years.
Go ahead and check out what Ben and the guys had to say: "Time is Money" from Men.Style.Com.

This is the Mercury Uniaxial 3x3x3. It is a super set of the Mercury Crazy 3x3 Plus Cube. This is an extension of a puzzle concept I came up with on January 31, 2011 for the Deep Uniaxial 3x3x3. Tom van der Zanden designed the mechanism for the Deep Uniaxial 3x3x3 and I've made a slight modification to his design (changing only 2 pieces) to turn it into this puzzle. This should still be considered a Tom van der Zanden design.
This puzzle requires five 16mm 3M Slotted Cheese Head screws to assemble. I have purchased mine here on amazon.com. No other hardware is needed. You may purchase stickers for this puzzle here. Note this is the same sticker set used on the Deep Uniaxial 3x3x3.

Housebuilder returns to profit
Housebuilder Barratt Developments has announced a return to profit after a year of loss.
The company has posted a pre-tax profit before exceptional items of £42.7m for the year to June 30 2011 compared to a £33m loss last time.
The figures were released in the company's annual results announcement for the year ended 30 June 2011. According to the report, profit from operations was £127m this year compared to £74.3m last year.
Completions were down marginally - 11,171 this year compared to 11,377 last year - but private average selling price grew to £198,900 from £185,200.
The company also said it had a high percentage of land bank with outline or detailed planning consent and a significant level of contracted government funding for affordable housing.
It also welcomed the governments pledge to release land on which to build up to 100,000 new homes.
Mark Clare, group chief executive, said: 'The outlook for the housing market remains challenging as a result of continuing constraints on the availability of mortgage finance and overall economic uncertainty.
'Whilst we saw greater stability in the second half, trading conditions remain challenging in some areas outside the South East. Our London business continues to perform particularly well, reflecting its strong position across the capital.
'We will continue to drive profitability through optimising the value of the homes we sell, delivering additional outlets from our new higher margin land whilst maintaining a tight control over costs and improving operational efficiency.'

Nelson Chenault/US PresswirePittsburgh will need to improve its secondary and offensive line if it wants another shot at the title.
As the confetti fell at the conclusion of Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium, a look of despair and disappointment immediately came over the faces of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The newly crowned Green Bay Packers were in full celebration mode, while Pittsburgh felt the sting of falling short of its seventh championship.
History weighs heavily against the Steelers -- seven of the past 10 Super Bowl runners-up have failed to make the playoffs the next year.
How do the Steelers avoid becoming another statistic? It will take some smart moves and solid upgrades in the offseason.
"Our goal is to try to get into [the Super Bowl] again, and just don't be on this side again," Steelers receiver Mike Wallace said. "Just get back in the lab and work harder. That's all."
Here is a preview of what's next for the Steelers:
Where are Pittsburgh's biggest needs?
[+] Enlarge
Al Bello/Getty ImagesAaron Rodgers took advantage of Pittsburgh's secondary -- completing 24-of-39 for 304 yards and a 111.5 passer rating.
Three losses this season -- to the Packers, New England Patriots and New Orleans Saints -- have provided a blueprint of how to beat the Steelers. It takes a top-flight quarterback and a precise, short and intermediate passing game to put enough points on the board against Pittsburgh's vaunted No. 2 ranked defense.
Forcing the Steelers' offense to play from behind makes the team one-dimensional and susceptible to the pass rush. Pittsburgh's offensive line is one of the weakest areas of the team. Those three losses to Green Bay, New England and New Orleans all played out in similar fashion.
To counter these tough matchups, the Steelers need to improve their roster in several areas.
Pittsburgh's two biggest needs are at cornerback and offensive line. Upgrades to both positions would help the Steelers combat opponents like New England and Green Bay. The Packers and quarterback Aaron Rodgers (304 yards, three touchdowns) beat Pittsburgh's defense by running a lot of three- and four-receiver sets, which exposed the Steelers' lack of depth in the secondary.
Pittsburgh starting cornerback Ike Taylor is solid, but he will be an unrestricted free agent (we will get to that later). After Taylor there is a dropoff to Bryant McFadden and backups William Gay and Anthony Madison. High-powered passing offenses will continue to give Pittsburgh fits unless it addresses this issue. I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers draft a cornerback in the first two rounds.
The Steelers need to improve at guard and tackle on the offensive line. Starting left tackle Max Starks is solid and returning from a season-ending neck injury. He will replace the inconsistent Jonathan Scott. Right tackle Flozell Adams, 35, is under contract for one more year with Pittsburgh and is uncertain about his future. Guard Chris Kemoeatu and center Maurkice Pouncey are set, but the Steelers could use another starting-caliber guard.
The Steelers traditionally are not big players in free agency, so don't expect a lot of turnover. Most of their needs will be addressed in April's NFL draft.
"I think we still have a core group of players that we can build around and hopefully make another run at it," Steelers president Art Rooney II said after the Super Bowl loss. "I don't think we'll be sitting there saying we're going to make a lot of changes. We'll prepare for the draft and add some players here and there, and be ready to go."
Who are the Steelers' key free agents?
[+] Enlarge
Andrew Weber/US PresswireRetaining LaMarr Woodley is one of Pittsburgh's top priorities.
Pittsburgh has every intention of retaining Woodley, who was one of the NFL's best bargains after making just $550,000 in the final year of his rookie contract. Including playoffs, Woodley recorded 60 tackles, 13 sacks, two interceptions and got stronger as the season went on.
The Steelers are expected to use their franchise tag on Woodley, 26, while trying to negotiate a long-term deal. The deadline to tag Woodley is Feb. 24. But it will be challenging for Pittsburgh to work out a large extension until a new collective bargaining agreement is reached. Under the current CBA, the 30-percent rule is a major holdup in working out an extension with Woodley, who is a former second-round pick.
Taylor's situation is more fluid. The unrestricted free agent will be 31 in May and has spent his entire career with Pittsburgh. Returning will be Taylor's first preference, but he will certainly garner interest from other teams. Pittsburgh has to determine what is the right price to try to keep its No. 1 cornerback.
Other free agents of note for Pittsburgh include backup quarterback Dennis Dixon, tailback Mewelde Moore, kicker Shaun Suisham and offensive linemen Willie Colon and Trai Essex.
Can Pittsburgh remain a contender?
As we mentioned earlier, history is not kind to Super Bowl runners-up. Pittsburgh also will have to overcome its own negative history The last two times the current Steelers made the Super Bowl -- both victories -- they missed the playoffs in the following seasons, 2006 and 2009.
The Steelers are usually at their best as underdogs. That was the case this season; most experts wrote off Pittsburgh because of franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's four-game suspension at the beginning of the season. But the Steelers showed they could overcome setbacks and made it to Super Bowl XLV.
Expectations will be high for Pittsburgh next season, because a lot of talent and veteran leadership remain. But is it enough to get to Super Bowl XVLI in Indianapolis?
"I love this group; I think it is a heck of a group," said Steelers linebacker and captain James Farrior. "There is a lot more football left in us. We just have to stay together. Hopefully, everything works out in the offseason and we get back here next season."

I'm at the north end of what's called the Arts Campus at the University of Iowa. The Iowa River goes by Hancher Auditorium here then continues south past six more buildings dedicated to teaching and showcasing the arts.
This was the arts campus during the June flood. Back then, at the same time people were sandbagging trying to prevent damage, others started moving "things" to higher ground in case the waters did come in.
At the two art buildings, one quite new, they moved boxes and boxes of thousands of valuable slides out of the water's reach along with artists tools such as pottery wheels.
In the Theatre building, thousands of costumes and props were moved to the first floor, then again to the second floor when crest projections rose higher.
At Voxman music building, 10 grand pianos worth about $100,000 each were removed completel; instruments and sheet music, lots of both, were moved upstairs.
Much was saved, not everything, but a lot. Still, there was more to do. From the day the arts campus flooded, it was just ten weeks till the start of the fall semester. Faculty and students would need places to teach and learn. And structures like this new are building weren't going to be usable.
This campus bus is sitting outside of what used to be an empty Menard's because it's now home to all the studio arts classes. Preparations for this change began on June 13, the day after Professor Steve McGuire was evacuated from his own home.
Steve McGuire, Professor, School of Art and Art History: "I'm most proud of the fact that the university saw from even, even the moment before the water crested that they were going to put back, in the fall, the entire studio program and art history for the School of Art and Art History. That's an unbelieveable committment on the part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the University given the scope of the program that we have.
The University didn't do it alone though.
Steve McGuire, Professor, School of Art and Art History: "You don't go from design to construction in 17 days and build a facility for a program as large as ours in 29 days without having a lot of dedication from a variety of people across the scope of what makes up Iowa City. ... We worked hand in hand with the city all along the process. ... The city gave us guidance on how we might interface in terms of phases of construction and inspection so that on the first day of school, inspection happened, and we were moving in. Incredible."
While buildings were being dried out and cleaned up on the Arts Campus, classes in the performing arts, music, theater, and dance, were moved to various buildings on campus and around town.
This is the JCL jazz band rehearsing at Trinity Episcopal Church.
A few blocks away, at the First Congregational Church, a bassoon trio plays.
And upstairs in a downtown commercial building called Brewery Square, students are attending acting classes.
To facilitate recovery and clean-up, people from different divisions and departments ended up working together for the good of the institution. For example, Senior Associate Director of Athletics, Jane Meyer, is helping the performing arts department manage its recovery.
Jane Meyer, Senior Associate Director of Athletics: "What I learned was I know the passion of our coaches. I see that everyday. I knew of passion, but I got to experience the passion of the faculty ... It was a very satisfying experience for me and so to know that, that is what continues to make our entire institution great that, that's a lesson learned for me is that it exists across our campus."
Kayt Conrad, Director of Operations, Division of Performing Arts: "I've learned there is a lot more satisfaction out of small successes. ... Today was a really good day because the fire marshall came and said we could use our new practice rooms. That's a really big deal. So, small, small victories are really huge things."
Alan MacVey, Director, Division of Performing Arts: "The biggest lesson of all was to heed the warning and we did and thank goodness that we did."
There have been some adjustments.
Alan MacVey, Director, Division of Performing Arts: "Well, we're sitting in a room over two restaurants and Devotay is one of them. And this room is made for acting and movement classes and so our first day as we got in here and people were moving around and jumping and doing all the things that they normally do and all the wine glasses downstairs started to fall off the shelves and they did. They broke. And we had several conversations with the lovely people who run Devotay."
Those classes found another home.
Then there's Hancher Auditorium, Iowa's performing arts center that has a national reputation for live performances and commissioning works.
Built in 1972, in the summer of 2007, Hancher celebrated its 35th year with a tour of Iowa by the Joffrey Ballet.
When we were there, Hancher was dark inside. There was no electricity, part of the stage floor was torn out, rows of seats were missing, and the lobby was part storage area.
Some performances are taking place in other venues, still others had to be cancelled, things like dance and broadway performances. But the head of Hancher is optimistic.
Chuck Swanson, Executive Director, Hancher: "I see this as a real opportunity to make Hancher even better than it was before."
That means making it better for artists and audiences. And while Hancher is out of commission for a while, they've adopted a theme that addresses that: "can't contain us."
Chuck Swanson, Executive Director, Hancher: "Hancher the building is very, very important and it's very symbolic for the university but over the years we have taken artists into the community, into the region, and in the last several years really out into the state and the biggest thing that, that we see very important to Hancher is connecting people with artists and this year of course is giving us a real opportunity to do that to get out into the community but that's something that we have done and that's something we will continue to do because we believe that the arts are there for everybody."
The arts campus wasn't the only part of the university affected by the flood. And it really isn't over. Recovery is a long process.
Still, last August, a record of over 30,000 students started the fall semester at the University of Iowa. And while there may be some unorthodox class rooms, and some unique office arrangements, what counts is that arts teachers are teaching, and students are learning.
... and the fact that they haven't been forgotten.
Alan MacVey, Director, Division of Performing Arts: "This sounds fairly corny but it's very true that when you get, I've gotten many emails and calls from people around the state, they matter, and I've called other people as well and offered my support. We know we really can't do anything to help them and they can't do anything to directly help us but it's, a phone call, an email just for support, really does matter."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

New U.S. envoy in Israel to clear obstacles for Obama's second term
Published 01:25 05.08.11
Latest update 01:25 05.08.11
Dan Shapiro was not sent here to promote peace between Israeli and
Palestinian leaders, but between Obama and American Jewish leaders.
By Akiva Eldar
Dan Shapiro, the new American ambassador to Israel, submitted his
credentials to President Shimon Peres on Wednesday. That same day, he
submitted a declaration of support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
In an interview with Channel 2 television, he downplayed the lack of trust
between Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama and the latter's rage
and sense of insult over Netanyahu's appearance before Congress in May,
treating their serial disputes as routine disagreements between friends.
Shapiro noted that he was present at all the many meetings between Obama
and Netanyahu. So who are we to cast doubt on a videotaped affidavit by an
The newly-arrived diplomat's decision to jump immediately into the media
water and the friendly, almost fawning, content of his interview show that
Shapiro was not sent here to promote peace between the Israeli leader and
his Palestinian counterpart. Rather, his goal is to promote peace between
the American president and American Jewish leaders. His main job will be
to dismantle every Israeli land mine on his boss' road to a second term.
Obama didn't choose Shapiro because of the diplomatic experience the
latter gained during his tenure as senior director for the Middle East and
North Africa at the National Security Council; the diplomatic process has
been presided over by Dennis Ross, who has no equal in his ability to
tread water in the Israeli-Palestinian channel. Shapiro isn't here to try
his luck in proximity talks between Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority
President Mahmoud Abbas: He accompanied George Mitchell on all the
latter's shuttle diplomacy between Jerusalem and Ramallah and knows quite
well why that veteran mediator quit and returned his letter of appointment
to Obama.
Rather, the qualifications that brought this energetic and likable young
man to Tel Aviv 15 months before the American elections are his personal
loyalty to Obama, his political experience, his deep Jewish roots (he
comes from a traditional Jewish family ) and his fluent Hebrew (he also
speaks some Arabic ).
Shapiro bet on Obama from the earliest days of the Democratic presidential
primary race that began in 2007, at a time when most of his
then-colleagues in the lobbying industry were predicting that Hillary
Clinton would win. Supporting a black senator from Illinois was a natural
choice for a young Jew raised (in Champaign, Illinois ) by liberal
parents. And Obama's subsequent elevation of Shapiro to the top ranks of
his Middle East team was also a natural choice: The Jewish adviser devoted
a significant portion of his time and energy to countering the Jewish and
Christian right's indefatigable attempts to portray Obama's peace efforts
as proof of his alleged Muslim roots.
In 1993, after finishing his master's degree in Middle Eastern politics at
Harvard University, Shapiro served on the staff of Lee Hamilton, then the
chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a leading Democratic
congressman. He cheered when Israel and the Palestinians signed the Oslo
Accords and was a fervent admirer of then-Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
After the Republicans captured both houses of Congress in 1994, Shapiro
became Jewish senator Dianne Feinstein's senior foreign policy advisor. A
year later, Feinstein refused to cosponsor a bill to move the American
embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem - one of the provocative initiatives
the Israeli right and its supporters in Congress dreamed up in an effort
to kill the nascent peace process.
Shapiro's first reports from the embassy on Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Street
will presumably deal with the tent protests. Barring any surprises, next
month he will report on the demise of the peace process, and perhaps also
on a third intifada. When that happens, will Obama's campaign strategists
still be asking him to tell us that the U.S-Israeli relationship is just
as wonderful as it always was, and that the settlements are just a
disagreement between friends?

I have a hedge of Sasa masa which has widened and gotten very thick, and also has reached 6' tall, and would like to cut it to a 3' height, if I trim it all back will the present canes develop more leaves or will it have to grow new canes to have leaves? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I assume you mean Sasaella masamuneana? In any case, I don't think you will get much, if any, new leaf growth. Bamboo in general are not like bushes and trees where pruning often promotes bushier growth from what is left behind. Occasionally, one may get some new leafing at some nodes after cutting back a culm, but I wouldn't count on it. You could always trim one or two culms and see what happens, rather than chopping the whole hedge down and being disappointed. I am not a big fan of topping bamboo because if often leaves the plant looking butchered permanently. |

My father had a favorite "endearment" for me, his youngest son, when I was a kid. At various times, he'd look at me a say, "you're just a gravy sopper". This was especially true when Mom would cook pork chops and there'd be 2 boys and my Dad elbowing one another for the privilege of dredging a slice of bread in the bottom of the pan to "sop up" those greasy bits of goodness before sitting down to devour a thin chop cooked to the consistency of a roofing shingle.
One of my earliest food posts here on Open Salon was titled "They Call Me Mr. Gravy". That was 3 years ago. I've always loved gravy. One of my favorite breakfast dishes is still homemade biscuits and sausage gravy. It reminds me of opening day of fishing season when we'd be treated to SOS for an early breakfast.
For Easter, I grilled a turkey breast and wrote about it here:
I justified cooking a turkey breast on the grill based on the $.99 a pound special that Target had going on turkey breast Naw, what I really, really wanted was mashed potatoes and gravy. A mountain of mashed potatoes with a liquid avalanche of thick, tasty gravy oozing down the sides.
It just takes a few minutes—less than the time you need to let your turkey breast or pork or beef roast rest prior to eating. And if you do that, you won't be tempted to cut into your meat too soon and drain all those terrific juices that a being absorbed back into the meat.
So here's how Cheap Bastid/Mr. Gravy does it:
Prep your meat, put it on a rack in the pan (or 6 inch lengths of carrot and celery) and add about 2 cups of broth.
When the breast is done, put it on a cutting board to rest and start your gravy. Pour off the liquid into a fat separator or into a bowl.
Make a roux. Put a pan on the stove, set to medium and add about 3 tablespoons of the fat from the breast. Then add an equal amount of flour and start to whisk.
The roux will start to come together, keep whisking.
Add the rest of the pan drippings. Then add about a cup to cup and a half of broth (or water or milk if you don't have broth).
I used broth but added about a quarter cup of milk at the end to make it smoother in texture and taste.
This tasted fantastic! Yeah, it looks like "Thanksgiving" but who said you can't have turkey at Easter?
Gravy. It's what makes mashed 'taters worthwhile. Cheap Bastid is still a "gravy sopper" and proud of it! And it's cheap if you make it yourself.
That's the Cheap Bastid Way: Eat Good. Eat Cheap. Be Grateful!
I was outside Hanoi, Vietnam in 1990.
I recall watching one poor duck bleed.
The beautiful peasants sacrificed a pet?
It was a dead duck!
The blood was saved.
It was hot duck gravy.
You thing that was gross?
My eldest son was served:
One pumping snake heart.
The cooks offered it to me.
I was generous, and hungry?
I said . . .
Mu son would love that heart.
It's in a video. Pumping heart.
He used bamboo chop sticks.
I took both sons with Kim Doan.
That was during the Bush Reign.
"Speaking roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases."
(in which the cook and the baby sang)
I'm recalling
blogger`libbyliberal's pepper spray.
Wow! wow! wow!
(Alice's Adventure in Wonderland) gads
This joint is too much inspiration and fun.
I was gonna wash clothes and pack stuffs.
Walter Blevins
Don't add packet of 'Wendy's' stolen pepper.
ScanMan--it don't get no better'n that, does it?
IMHO gravy from drippings "on the fly" is a vital skill for anyone who cooks and likes meat.
I would warn novices that this takes a little practice. However, the gravy will be better than the canned/bottled stuff even on your first try, soince cooking the roux guarantees no lumps.
P.S. I'd like to see your best shot at pork chops sometime.
Dad had this thing...he judged how good a biscuit was by how well it held up to a good Gravey sopping.
I remember some days when all we had for dinner was those biscuits and that gravey and I thought I was eating like a king.
Thanks for the memories, my friend.
Is there a take out window??
Or do you deliver...
smiling away....
Gravy and mashed potatoes...
Ummm this looks good...

MURFREESBORO — Qetuwrah Abdullah-Muhammad got the Cleveland track and field team started off on the right foot at the 2014 Spring Fling Monday afternoon.
The senior Middle Tennessee State Univeristy signee finished in fourth place in the state pentathlon with a total of 3,216 points from the five events.
There was only a three-point difference separating Abdullah-Muhammad and the third place finisher from Dobyns-Bennett.
"The crazy thing is that if she had run two- or three-tenths faster in the hurdles or gone another inch or two in the long jump the point differential would have been made up right there," Cleveland track coach Casey Price stated.
"Q" missed out on the state pentathlon in 2013 due to an injury, and it was teammate Marissa Langford who competed and finished in ninth place.
"Marissa went last year, because Qetuwrah was hurt. For her to come back this year and do what she's done is just a big deal," Price declared.
Qetuwrah came in seventh in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.78 and then placed third in the long jump with a leap of 17 feet, 6.75 inches.
Abdullah-Muhammad came in eighth in the shot put with a throw of 27 feet, 8 inches.
Clearing a height of 5 feet, 1.75 inches earned Qetuwrah third place in the high jump and her fourth place time of 2:30.25 in the 800-meter run gave her a fourth place finish overall in the pentathlon.
"Q's" podium position earned Cleveland five valuable team points for the state competition that will kick into high gear on Wednesday.
Abdullah-Muhammad heads back in action on Wednesday at 6:20 and 7:40 p.m. for the girls' 4x200M and 4x400M relay prelims.
On Thursday, Qetuwrah will attempt to live up to her statewide reputation in the long jump (10 a.m.) and triple jump (11:15 a.m.).
"Coming in she is No. 1 in the state for triple jump and is second in the long jump. She is really starting to heat up in those events, especially triple jump," Price stated.

I just purchased 2 Vermeer and 2 Cassandra and I planted them near each other. My question is, we all hear the 'buy in 1, 3, 5 etc', so does this work for lilies as well? In fact, I might have bought the last 2 of each at the garden center. I was trying to figure out how to place them in my garden, as I am trying to get a fuller effect. Granted, newly planted but it sort of looks not so good right now. I don't like overcrowding but I don't like the sparse look either. Maybe I just need to wait next until next year and see how the fill out - ??
I am just getting into lilies, and can see I have been missing out these past few years. Not sure I am not asking my question correctly, sorry if it sounds weird. Thanks,

I plant lilies in clumps of two, in drifts, and all sorts of ways. Unfortunately, I don't like a sparse look either, so I always plant them too close to the roses. Then I have to dig them back up 18 mos later and move them. I would wait until next year to see how they fill out and how the plants around them behave. Renee |
