Kansas values
All of our candidates running for office now voice a common theme. None of them promise they will deliver anything essentially different from the other. I need not reiterate the listing since anyone semi-conscious cannot have missed the litany. Even the Democrats who are running would come off as Republican in most other states.
Insofar as it goes this is a popularity contest.
Kansas values, evident or not, are different from anywhere else, at least this is what our politicians tell us. However, nowhere is there a consensus of belief or opinion. The contest between Sen. Pat Roberts and Dr. Milton Wolf is highlighted by presenting their bona fides as conservatives. Roberts believes he can rest on his laurels, few these might be. Wolf is making promises he is unlikely to be able to keep (as sincere are his intentions). I mean, what does he have as his track record? Not many newcomers to Washington rule the roost, as he seems to believe he will if elected.
Rep. Tim Huelskamp did the same as Wolf is doing now before winning his last election, only to get his butt kicked shortly after arriving in Washington.
Wolf is likely is to share the same fate if he is elected. Making promises one cannot keep is hazardous.
So far as dirty campaigning is concerned, this is historically honorable. There never has been nor is there likely to be a political campaign that is entirely on the up-and-up, at least not since George Washington left office.
But if you will gentlemen, get real. This state and this country are in dire need of reality testing and acting appropriately on this. This is the value I would like to see.

I've seen one of these in action - I don't think it is anywhere near mass marketing. It will have some uses but I don't think it will catch on in a big way. Not yet anyhow. Might be good as a small repair business add on.

A bit of an interesting mix round here as the living room is also my art room and craft room and dining room. There's a bookcase and bench on one wall with art supplies and books. Above that is a shelf with ginger beer maturing, a vase from great grandma's place full of feathers from grandma who was a milliner (hat maker), a t-rex skeleton in wood, a stack of jigsaw puzzles and a piece of sort of successful art. There are two baskets of wool hanging off that along with a washing line rope and coat hangers (with washing that didn't quite dry enough yesterday). One end of the bench has my computer, the other end has my stereo (the speakers are also on the upper shelf) and the centre has the cutting mat, the iron and a stack of to do stuff. Under the bench is a double layer of plastic bins with wool and fabric etc.
There's a spice rack full of beads on one wall along with a fish eye mirror from grandma, a frog money box from a neighbour, a piece of stained glass I made some years back and a bunch of interesting rocks. Most of the rest is my own stuff except for one pen and ink tree that a friend did at art school. The other point of interest is my coffee table which was made for me and incorporates one of those typeset boxes. The compartments are full to overflowing and I refuse to put a glass over it because how could you then play with the things inside.
There is also a round table with three chairs (I use the computer chair for the fourth) and two small couches and a dresser full of preserves, the toaster, the kettle, the teapot I made myself and various spreads and tea stuff.
There is a capsicum plant in the window and three ferns dotted around. And all this (and the small upright desk belonging to my Dad, two election boxes full of wool, a small chest with my knitting needles and embroidery stuff, the small chest that holds my thread and sundry work tools, the footstool and a small table that holds the kettle, a book press, wool winder and two rubbish bins - one pottery that I made and one wicker which my grandfather made) in a room only 4 metres square.
I do need a little more space in this house but until the kids leave home, this is it. Our eventual plan is to make the other reasonably sized bedroom into a living/dining room and to turn what we had intended for a bathroom into a kitchen to open into the same room. At which stage I get my workroom to myself :)
Sorry for the length - I got interested in the list :)

There's a rug being made out of crochet granny squares over on wise craft. I've been doing it to brush up on my skills as I mostly knit :) I have also made bowls from scrap fabric but using an elastic threader and a buttonhole stitch. The result looks much the same :)
I think the real annoyance is that I wanted the cranberries for medicinal use so I didn't have to buy so much (subject to uti here). Of course these simply won't work as required and it took me a year to figure that I had the wrong thing. (I haven't met a cranberry in the wild - yet!). So now I have to start over again. I might add that the guavas are fine and might well have been added just for themselves anyhow. I have a good damp position for them all picked out so all I need are the plants now and I will be checking!
They were sold to me as two cranberry bushes!! I was a little annoyed but they are still good to nibble on. I still want to get some real cranberry bushes :)

Count me in and either colour would do :) I'm thinking that this would be useful for mounting in a wall and we happen to have one available. viv
Sounds like Sprocket and my wool basket. It now sports a large chunk of felt from a horse blanket. He gets the basket and my wool is safe if a little squashed :) Or holes in the boys socks. I make them from carpet wool now and they will last a lot longer. They don't seem to mind the rougher texture either and I don't have to try making them wear slippers! Redirecting the river is a good way to put this and I seem to do a lot of it :) The plus here is the savings in plastic everything slippers that don't last. The wool really is just that, wool!

There's a new crab apple and a peasgood nonsuch apple (the third I've planted but hopefully this time we will be here to harvest it too). Too cold for feijoas or figs but there are nz cranberries (a type of guava) plus red currants and gooseberries. We hope to transfer the raspberries this year and there is a fruit tree in one of my barrels but I'm not sure what it is. It LOOKS like an apricot but could just as well be a plum.

Calendulas spread everywhere if you let them. I had whole flower beds of them when I was too ill to garden properly. At least they covered the weeds :)
@FrugalKiwi Taught for years when younger. I was a trained potter but I damaged my wrists/elbow/shoulder/neck so badly I had to give it up. There were some truly aw(ful/some) items that went through although the maker of said item above was , ummmm, unique! All her stuff was like that and she just loved doing it.
That is truly awful/some. As a teacher of pottery, I can relate to fugly - there are a few creations hanging round here too. There was one notable object that went on a stall table. It was misshapen in pretty much every direction and its creator had used a violent pink glaze which broke to blue if thinly applied. Not my favourite but somewhat acceptable sometimes. It was absolutely hideous and was the first thing we sold!
People are weird!
Can't get this thing to work - hope this gets there ok. Love your fence - that is exactly what we need on the back part of the section, and the side and the other side etc ......... Our chickens come out to play when Matt weeds the garden. Otherwise they have a nice roomy run.
We've found that a cheese slice does a good job with hard butter :) The crock looks even better though - might have to invest in one of those :)
I'll have to think of a substitute for that one. I'm not allowed grapefruit. I might try apricot - hmmm....... My sis does a great one with peppermint oddfellows in.
BTW there is a recipe in grandmas book called Aunty Phils balls :) There's a title for you! And I did a needle felt thing for the first time. I've done wet felt lots but not needle felt. It wasn't as hard as I thought :)
Yellow is one of my favourite colours. It is not usual for me to have a greenish house but we seem to have morphed into there from the lovely yellows of the last house. I think the kitchen may well turn a lovely golden yellow though :)
I'm more a pay it forward sort of person along with general information bureau and I'll teach any one who wants whatever craft they wish. I like to be useful :) The best returns are simply knowing that, in an emergency, there will likely be a casserole on the doorstep :)
I'd just like a shower that wasn't a century old (literally) and full of rust and other stains etc. A working oven would also be an improvement along with half a floor, a paint job, etc etc. And yes, I think I might qualify as a removal expert too :)

Ben Lacey
This section is specifically dedicated to Ben Lacey and his descendants since they are so well documented in the Lacey Family History. In this section I will review further detail that augments that written history.
Ben Lacey was born in Shelby County Alabama in about 1820. Research indicates that his mother was Mariah Lacey who was born in about 1795 in either Kentucky or South Carolina. This makes sense given that Ben Lacey's slave owner, Jas P Lacey, moved to Alabama from South Carolina by way of Kentucky. Mariah Lacey was likely the slave of Jas P Lacey's father, William Lacey. There is also some evidence to suggest that Ben Lacey's father was a Jacob Lacey born 1792. There is a legal document from 1842 mentioning a Mariah and Jacob being passed to Jas P Lacey from his father William Lacey. If this Mariah is Ben's mother, then Jacob would possibly be his father. In addition, Ben's oldest son is also named Jacob, perhaps named after Ben's father. Through Mariah, we also know of Julia Lacey born in 1829, who would be Ben's sister. It is likely that Mariah also had other children, but there are no records to help us identify them.
The Lacey family history provides the names of Ben's children with Harriet Lacey:
- Jacob Lacey (~1836 - )
- Joseph Lacey (1844 - )
- Francis Lacey (1854 - )
- Sampson Lacey (1860 - 1932)
- Andrew Lacey (1866 - )
- Lizzie Lacey (1867 - )
- William Washington Lacey (1869 - 1929)
All of these children appear in Federal Census and other records. There is also at least one other child, a male born in about 1850, who appears under Ben Lacey in the 1866 Alabama State Census. In addition, we find an important clue in the Alabama Deaths and Burials Index. Listed here is a Margerett Lacey. Margerett was married to Lewis Lacy. But more interesting, Margerett's father is listed as one Ben Lacey and the mother as a Nancy Lacey. If this Ben Lacey is the same Ben Lacey in Marylene, Shelby County, as seems possible, we have also found Ben's first wife, Nancy Lacey. There is no other evidence for Nancy Lacey in the records. However, DNA results of the direct ancestor of Margerett Lacey show a direct link to the DNA results of known ancestors of Ben Lacey, making it almost certain that Ben was Margerett's father.
In 1870 Ann Lacey is living as a family member with Jacob Lacey and his wife and family. There is some evidence that Ann Lacey was married and had a daughter. It could be that Ann Lacey was married to the so far unknown son of Ben Lacey.
Harriet Lacey was born in about 1837, possibly as Harriet Mirtie or Meridth. Given Harriet's birth date, she could not have been the mother of Jacob, Joseph or Margerett. We do not know when Ben and Harriet were married, and it was not at all unusual for there to be a 17 year age difference between them. We have some information on who might be the mother of Jacob, Joseph and Margerett, one Nancy Lacey.
- Jacob Lacey married Pricella and had at least 6 daughters and 2 sons.
- Margerett Lacey married Lewis Lacy and had 7 daughters and 8 sons.
- Joseph Lacey married Maria Oleton and had 2 sons and 7 daughters.
- Francis Lacey did not marry or have children.
- Sampson Lacey married Lucy Lyles and had 4 sons and 2 daughters. He also married Louise Brock and had a son and a daughter.
- Andrew Lacey married Malindy Barnes and had 1 son and 2 daughters.
- Lizzie Lacey married Reuben Rush and had 2 sons and 2 daughters.
- William Washington Lacey married Ada Leona Smith and had 4 sons and 7 daughters.
Ben and Harriet Lacey stayed in Shelby County until at least 1870. By 1880 Ben had relocated to Pickens County along with his son Joseph. In 1880 Ben was living very close to S.W. Lacey, a cousin to Jas P Lacey, Ben's former owner. This move may have been prompted by the bankruptcy of Jas P Lacey in 1867. Ben possibly worked for S.W. Lacey at this time as a laborer. S.W. Lacey had of course been a slave owner, and there were other African-American Laceys living in Pickens County who might have been related to Ben in some way, namely Fred Lacey, Jake Lacey and Allen Lacey.
The 1880 Federal Census is the last time we see Ben's name in the records. Ben must have died between 1880 and 1900, around age 70. There might be a possible reference to Harriet Lacey in the 1900 Federal Census where she was listed as a patient in Tusccaloosa Courthouse. Together, Ben and Harriet raised at least 9 children and and gave rise to at least 55 grandchildren.

Rocket® Meat SeekerTM. Delivers MASSIVE entry and exit wounds
Streamlined flight diameter flies like a field tip. The instant the target is reached, the Piston Hammer deploys the blades without levers or cams, which can fail or rob energy. As the tip begins to pierce skin, the extremely sharp blades continue opening from the rear as the shaft and Piston cylinder approach the tip with Hammer -like force.
Before blades enter the skin, the Piston's powerful inertia thrusts them fully open into a locked cutting position, and hammers the tip forward for ultimate penetration and maximized entry wound. 100-grain. 2 or 3-blade available. Replacements also available below.
More:- Massive tissue damage and blood loss
- Rotating chisel tip finds path of least resistance around bone for maximum penetration

By Sharon Ko
GRANTS PASS, Ore. — With a lack of funding the Josephine County Jail is down sizing beds and releasing dozens of criminals.
County officials got together Thursday morning to lay out a plan detailing how many inmates will stay in the jail to the legal issues that could arise once the jail capacity is reduced. A county legal counsel Steve Rich says a new order will replace the one made in 2007. He says an immunity will also be added into the documents to avoid liability issues.
With the current budget cuts facing the county inmates who have a "do not release" order by the courts will have to be released. Rich says he has been in discussion with the presiding circuit court judge about it.
"Explaining to her and she's well aware of the fiscal situation is in Josephine County," says Rich, "But I didn't want any of mien institutional clients, Commissioners or the sheriff or anyone at the jail, to be held in contempt."
Once the new order is completed, it will be presented to the board of commissioners for approval and will take into effect July 1st. The sheriff's office says it cannot say when inmates will be released at this time due to safety concerns, but they will let the public know when it happens.

Steubenville is a city and county seat of Jefferson County, Ohio, United States.[7] Located along the Ohio River, it is a principal city of the Weirton–Steubenville, WV-OH Metropolitan Statistical Area. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 18,659.
The city's name comes from Fort Steuben, a 1786 fort that sat within the city's current limits and was named for Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Today, a replica of the fort is open to the public.[8]
Steubenville is known as the "City of Murals", after its more than 25 downtown murals.[1] It is home to Franciscan University of Steubenville and Eastern Gateway Community College (formerly Jefferson Community College).[9]
The city drew international attention after two members of the Steubenville High School football team were charged with raping a 16-year-old girl in August 2012. The trial is to begin March 13, 2013.
Contents |
In 1786-1787, the United States erected Fort Steuben to protect the government surveyors mapping the land west of the Ohio River, and named the fort in honor of Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. When the surveyors completed their task a few years later, the fort was abandoned. In the meantime, settlers had built homes around the fort; they named their settlement La Belle.
On July 29, 1797 Jefferson County was organized by a proclamation of Governor Arthur St. Clair, and La Belle was selected as the County seat. The town was subsequently renamed Steubenville, in honor of the abandoned fort, and was platted in the same year. Bezaliel (Bezaleel) Wells and James Ross were the founders of the city. Wells, a government surveyor born in Baltimore, received about 1,000 acres (4 km2) of land west of the Ohio River, and Ross, a lawyer from Pittsburgh, owned land north of his. The two men were responsible for the layout of the city.
On March 1, 1803, Ohio was admitted to the Union as the 17th state.[10] During the first half of the nineteenth century, Steubenville was primarily a port town, and the rest of the county was small villages and farms. Steubenville received a city charter in 1851. However, in 1856, Frazier, Kilgore and Company erected a rolling mill (the forerunner of steel mills) and the Steubenville Coal and Mining Company sank a coal shaft. The city was also a stop along the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad that connected Pittsburgh to Chicago and St. Louis.
In 1946, the "College of Steubenville" was founded by the Franciscan Friars of the Third Order Regular.[11] In 1980, its name was changed to "University of Steubenville," and finally in 1985 to "Franciscan University of Steubenville."[12]
In 1966, the "Jefferson County Technical Institute" was founded. In 1977, its named was changed to "Jefferson Technical College". In 1995, the technical college became a community college and the name changed once more to "Jefferson Community College". In 2009, the college expanded its service district by three Ohio counties, which resulted in a further name to "Eastern Gateway Community College".
In 2012, two 16-year-old members of the Steubenville high school football team were arrested and charged with raping a 16-year-old girl at a series of parties on August 11, 2012. Charges were brought on August 22, 2012. Other members of the team were allegedly present and participated, though no further charges have been brought. The case drew international attention as speculation grew that police allegedly covered up the incident to protect the football players.[13][14]
The hacker collectives Anonymous and LocalLeaks obtained records from the police investigation and published them on their websites to draw attention to the alleged coverup.[15][16][17][18][19]
The trial is to begin March 13, 2013. Visiting Judge Thomas Lipp said the trial in juvenile court will be open to the media.[20]
Steubenville is located at 40°21′56″N 80°37′53″W / 40.36556°N 80.63139°W (40.365535, -80.631483).[21] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.63 square miles (27.53 km2), of which, 10.55 square miles (27.32 km2) is land and 0.08 square miles (0.21 km2) is water.[2] The city lies along the Ohio River, with the city spreading west from the floodplains to the hills that surround the city.

From 1980 to 2000, census figures show that the Weirton–Steubenville population dropped faster than any other urban area in the United States.[23]
In 1993, Steubenville had the worst air pollution of six cities studied, and had a 26% higher adjusted mortality rate than Portage, Wisconsin, the least polluted city studied. Findings were statistically significant in relation to fine particulate air pollution.[24][25] The particulate air pollution is due to the city's proximity to an upwind pig iron plant.[citation needed]
Steubenville and the communities that surround it, especially Weirton, West Virginia, have experienced sluggish growth in their local economies since the steel industry waned during the 1980s. Corporations such as Weirton Steel have had to reduce their workforce in order to become more efficient and competitive against other steel producers and lower steel prices worldwide.[citation needed]
The new Findlay Connector has been built in western Pennsylvania as a toll-access highway between Pittsburgh International Airport at PA Route 60 and U.S. Route 22 in northwestern Washington County. Travel time between the Pittsburgh International Airport and the city of Steubenville is now approximately 25 minutes.
Steubenville is located near two large shale formations - the Marcellus and Utica formations. Exploiting the trapped shale oil is projected to bring 10,000 jobs to the area.[citation needed]
Fort Steuben, located downtown on South Third Street, is a reconstructed 18th century fort on its original location overlooking the Ohio River. Built in 1787 to protect the government surveyors of the Seven Ranges of the Northwest Territory, Fort Steuben housed 150 men of the 1st American Regiment. The non-profit organization that worked to rebuild the fort also developed the surrounding block into Fort Steuben Park that includes the Veterans Memorial Fountain and the Berkman Amphitheater. The Fort Steuben Visitors center is home to the Museum Shop and the Steubenville Convention & Visitors Bureau and is an official site on the Ohio River Scenic Byway.[citation needed]
Adjacent to the fort is the First Federal Land Office with its original logs from 1801. After the Ohio country was surveyed, it could be sold or given away as land grants; the settlers brought their deeds to be registered at the Land Office to David Hoge, the Registrar of Lands and Titles for the Northwest Territory.[citation needed]
"Ohio Valley Steelworker" Statue was created by artist Dimitri Akis as a tribute to the Ohio Valley Steelworkers. The life-size figure carries a long-handled dipping ladle and is wearing the hooded fire-proof suit worn in the steel mills. The statue is located at the junction of Hwy 22 (University Blvd) and Hwy 7 (Dean Martin Blvd).[citation needed]
There is a statue downtown commemorating Edwin Stanton, President Abraham Lincoln's secretary of war. Stanton was born and raised in Steubenville.[citation needed]
As of 2012, the Steubenville High School football team, the Big Red, has the twentieth-most wins among U.S. high school football teams.[citation needed] The team had a 15–0 record in the 2005 season, ending as Ohio Div-III State Champions. The team went 15-0 in the 2006 season, repeating as state champions. The streak of regular-season victories eventually reached 68 games, and ended on October 23, 2009, with a loss to the Inkster (Michigan) Vikings.[26]
The Big Red also won the 1984 Division II State Championship in football and were runners-up in Division II in 1987 and 1988, and runners-up in Division IV in 2008.[citation needed]
Steubenville High has the second-most victories in the state for baseball state poll champions 1994, 1998, and 2011. and twelfth-most wins in the state for basketball.[citation needed]
The city is also home to Steubenville Catholic Central High School, 1993 Div-V State Champion and 2005 Div-VI State runner-up.[citation needed]
The Steubenville Stampede was a member of the Continental Indoor Football League.
Steubenville Board of Parks and Recreation maintains four parks within the City. Belleview Park is the main park, where the Steubenville Little League holds all of their games. Belleview also has a swimming pool, tennis courts, and picnic areas. The golf course that once was part of Belleview Park is now the property of Franciscan University. The grounds are open to the public during daylight hours and students at the University frequent the hills for cross country practice runs. Beatty Park, located in the south side of Steubenville, was reopened for public use in September 2007. A newly installed Disc Golf Course was the focus for the Park's reopening. Other activities for Beatty Park may include hiking trails, a dog park, and bird watching. Thanks to efforts by local individuals working with the Steubenville Parks and Recreation Department, the idea of Beatty Park in "state of disrepair for sometime" is no longer the theme. North End Park maintains a softball diamond (for use by Steubenville High School), playgrounds, and a picnic area. Jim Woods Park, in the west end of Steubenville, has a walking/jogging track, baseball diamond, and a picnic area. The newest elementary school in Steubenville is located at Jim Woods Park. The Steubenville City Council has successfully sold the Belleview Golf Course along with the "Green Strip" to Franciscan University of Steubenville. This move will allow the University to expand its operations and attract more potential students. The sale has come under scrutiny as the Belleview Golf Course was the only public course in the city. Smaller Parks Exist within the city as well The Flats Park on Highland Ave. and Maple Way, Linda Way Park at the end of Linda Way, Piece of Pie Park at the end of Maryland Ave., Veterans Memorial Park near the Pleasant Heights Fire Station, Pico Park at the corner of Pico Street and Cherry Street, and Murphy's Field and Playground also on Pleasant Height. Also there is a rec center located downtown called the Martin Luther King center where they host basketball games due to the courts, weight lifting and also zumba.[citation needed]

The current political make-up of Steubenville is largely Democratic and an above-average number of registered Independents. There are six Democrats for every one Republican in Steubenville.
The City of Steubenville is part of the 6th Congressional district of Ohio and represented by Bill Johnson. The 6th district is the longest US House district in Ohio and runs along the southeast state borders of Ohio.
Steubenville has had a reputation for political corruption. The U.S. Department of Justice alleged that the city and police force had subjected numerous individuals to "excessive force, false arrests, charges, and reports" and had engaged in practices regarding "improper stops, searches, and seizures." The report from the Department also stated that excessive force was levied against individuals who witnessed incidents of police misconduct, and against those who were known critics of the city and its police force. Those individuals were also falsely detained if the city and the police agreed that they were "likely to complain of abuse." It also stated that the officers involved also falsified reports and tampered with official police recorders so that "misconduct would not be recorded."
Over a period of 20 years the city lost, or settled out of court, 48 civil rights lawsuits involving its police force. The city paid out more than $800,000, $400,000 of which was between 1990 and 1996. As a result, the city's police force became the second city in the United States to sign a consent decree with the federal government due to an excessive number of civil rights lawsuits. The decree was signed on September 4, 1997 under the "pattern or practice" provision. Under this agreement, the city agreed to improve the training of its police officers, implement new guidelines and procedures, establish an internal affairs unit, and establish an "early warning system."[27]
The speed camera program began in 2005 and earned the city $600,000 in revenues, as nearly 7,000 tickets at $85 each were issued during that time period. In March 2006, the Jefferson County Court of Common Pleas ruled that the city ordinance of supporting the speed camera program was illegal and unconstitutional. The city refused to remove the cameras, however, because it stated it was "bound by contract to continue the services" of Traffipax, Inc., the US subsidiary of ROBOT Visual Systems, a German corporation. Despite attempts to remove the cameras, the city continued to defy the judge's order and reinstated an identical ordinance to continue issuing citations. Councilman at Large Michael Hernon cast the sole dissenting vote against reinstating the traffic cameras.[28]
In mid-2006, an attorney filed a class-action lawsuit against the city of Steubenville for illegally collecting fines and generating unnecessary revenue from motorists. He won the case in December 2007 and the city was forced to refund thousands of tickets totaling $258,000.[29] Stern also gathered enough signatures from the residents of the city to put forth a referendum that posed the question of whether the city's ordinance authorizing the speed camera program should continue. On November 8, 2006, city residents voted to end the city's speed camera program with a 76.2 percent majority.[30]
Steubenville is home to two institutions of higher education. The Franciscan University of Steubenville is a private, four-year university affiliated with the Roman Catholic Church. It was founded in 1946.
The second institution is Eastern Gateway Community College. It is a public, two-year college that opened its doors in 1968; its service district includes Columbiana, Mahoning, and Trumbull Counties as well as Jefferson County.
On July 24, 2012, after being threatened with a lawsuit from the atheist Freedom from Religion Foundation, the Steubenville city council decided to remove the image of Franciscan University from its town logo rather than pay for a lawsuit.[31]
Public schools in Steubenville are operated by the Steubenville City School District. There are a total of five schools in the district: Wells Academy, West Pugliese, Garfield, Harding Middle, and Steubenville High School. A portion of far western Steubenville is served by the Indian Creek Local School District.
Several private schools are located in Steubenville. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Steubenville operates Bishop John King Mussio Central Elementary School, Bishop John King Mussio Central Junior High School and Steubenville Catholic Central High School.

Asante has started to beleive his own hype. He is greedy and not worth a Clements type deal. I hope we deal him for a nice first round pick. Best case scenario a team is dumb enough to net us two first rounders. Ps check the other 5 threads on this subject.
Not unless he gets a reality check.. He ain't the best corner in the league so he isn't going to be paid what he's asking... Pats have a good offer, he takes it or leaves it, but I don't think he'll be here, which sucks as@, because I like him as a player...
I was hoping we'd work out a deal but now it looks like he is going to be traded. The Pats won't pay him Clements money for 1 very good year.
You might post the patriot offer that Samuel has rejected before you post that he is greedy. Also, it could be that he will play for someone else for less than the final offer the patriots might make. Would that be greedy? QUOTE=danny88;396092]Asante has started to beleive his own hype. He is greedy and not worth a Clements type deal. I hope we deal him for a nice first round pick. Best case scenario a team is dumb enough to net us two first rounders. Ps check the other 5 threads on this subject.[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE] who cares.... You are ob trying to stir junk up. If he wants clements money he should not let the door hit him on the ass ohn the way out.
He wants $30 million first 3 years Patriots apparently offering $6m a year http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&id=1127 Asante Samuel was reportedly seeking a deal worth $30 million over the first three years while in long-term contract talks with the Patriots. New England was reportedly offering a deal averaging $6 million-per-season. The sides have until July 15 to reach agreement on a contract.
On July 16th, Asante will be traded for a 2008 draft pick, probably a #2 like Dre Bly. He will be praising Bill Belichick and the Pats for granting his request for a trade as he counts his 80 million dollars.
And we'll be without a starting CB... I went with play out the season under the franchise tag... Branch and Samuel are apples and oranges as a comparison... though I do admit "hopeful thinking" is part of my selection. Logic takes a holiday when players begin to listen to their agents. While Samuel's tatoo should be happy to receive $500,000 per game as opposed to the $500,000 per season he was previously playing under, an agent wants a BIG payday - and will goad Samuel to holdout as long as possible.
No we are focusing on some realities. The patriots are under pressure to get a deal done before the draft. However, other teams may be willing to wait to see what they get before they deal. I think there will be several bidders after the draft. I think we have to add a corner in the draft. Hopefully, we will be able to get a pick for Samuel BEFORE this draft.
Cousin VJC, I agree with your assessment. One year does not qualify him for Clement money and Blye has had many more serviceable years. Besides trading him to move up a few spots is not a smart move. We still lose a pick. If we got a Carlos (if he was deemed savable, and who knows with the terrible situation in Washington. He might be better than appears) and move up to #6....I guess so..... if it was the best deal on the board. This is the idea I like. Put the difference in escrow. Get Samuel to sign for the Blye deal (as an example in pricing) and if he puts together three comparable years to 06 in a row within a set reasonable average, he gets the Clement type cash or a close second. Let him back up his talent. Injury of course would be a factor too. If not the top CB he says he is, he becomes a pauper and takes the Blye deal and can struggles to feed his family. Both sides are protected. Pioli has got to think of this, if the average price of a decent top CB increases within the next three years, the price may not be not that hard to take. I only do not know if the NFL CBA would allow this. DW Toys

Peaceville (original 1995, reissue 2010)
Big Daddy could go on and on here about how Panzerfaust is a fucking awesome and totally underrated Darkthrone album—every word of it would be true—but that's beside the point of this double-disc reissue. Or at least beside the point of its second disc, which is the entire album with drummer/lyricist Fenriz talking over it, director's commentary-style. Which would be a terrible fucking idea if it were just about anyone else talking over just about any other album. But if you're like us, you're happy as a pig in shit to listen to 35 minutes of Fenriz talking about his job at the post office, never mind the creation of one of his finest accomplishments, an album he refers to as "the peak of Darkthrone's insanity." Released in June of '95, about 16 months after the Hall of Fame classic Transilvanian Hunger, Panzerfaust was a continuation of its predecessor in almost every way. Unstoppable black metal riffs? Check. Power-necro four-track production? Obviously. The occasional lyric by Burzum's Varg Vikernes? Yep, right there on "Quintessence." But Fenriz sums it up best: "Let's say you're on the treadmill for 10 minutes and that's the Transilvanian Hunger album, but when you push the stop button, you still have to walk for a little bit because there's still something left. Two fast tracks on Panzerfaust is sort of like that excess inspiration I had for Transilvanian Hunger."
Fenriz also cites Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales, Bathory's Under the Sign of the Black Mark and Vader's Necrolust demo as key riff inspirations. But the most salient fact here is that Fenriz actually played all the instruments on this monstrous slab before turning it over to Ted "Nocturno Culto" Skjellum for vocal annihilation. And what a performance it is. Again, we'll defer to Fenriz: "The vocals for this album [are] way more barbaric and fucked-up than anything Ted ever did. They're the most barbaric vocals I have ever heard. Shocking… shocking!"
Only slightly less shocking is that Fenriz would agree to record a commentary disc in the first place. But then, he and Ted have loosened up considerably over the last few years, offering increasingly candid peeks behind their once somewhat-iron curtain. (In fact, Fenriz recently recoded a commentary disc for Peaceville's reissue of Isengard's Høstmørke album as well.) Bring on the rest of the fucking catalog, already. —J. Bennett

We report a photoactivatable variant of the Aequorea victoria green fluorescent protein (GFP) that, after intense irradiation with 413-nanometer light, increases fluorescence 100 times when excited by 488-nanometer light and remains stable for days under aerobic conditions. These characteristics offer a new tool for exploring intracellular protein dynamics by tracking photoactivated molecules that are the only visible GFPs in the cell. Here, we use the photoactivatable GFP both as a free protein to measure protein diffusion across the nuclear envelope and as a chimera with a lysosomal membrane protein to demonstrate rapid interlysosomal membrane exchange.

Anzac The Sphinx and Anzac Cove from Russell's Top
Prior to the start of the Gallipoli campaign Anzac Cove did
not exist. On 25 April 1915, as part of the overall Allied plan, the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (or Anzacs) were ordered to land on the Peninsula's Aegean coastline to seize the hill of Mal Tepe 5 miles inland
and threaten the northern flank of the Kilid Bahr Plateau. The exact position of the landing remained vague with the military orders placing it between Gaba Tepe and Fisherman's Hut, a distance of roughly two and a half miles. The naval orders were somewhat more precise, pinning the southern flank of the landing one mile north of Gaba Tepe. Once the covering force of the 3rd Australian Brigade had landed and secured its position, the remainder of the 1st Australian Division followed by the New Zealand and Australian Division were then to push through towards Mal Tepe.

Insects Are Nearly Everywhere
"Insects are the most successful animals that have ever existed on Earth and have been around for just over 400 million years," writes George Gavin in Insects, an American Nature Guide published by Smithmark Publishers, N.Y.
"Of the nearly one and a half million described species of all animals, just over 930,000 of them are insects," Gavin points out. "Thousands of new insect species are described every year and recent estimates from work in the world's diminishing rainforests indicate that there are maybe several million undescribed species."
Yes, insects are nearly everywhere--even at California's oldest fair. When the 134th annual Dixon May Fair opens May 7, continuing through May 10, you'll see a honey bee observation hive--with the queen bee, workers and drones--inside the floriculture building. Also in the floriculture building: Madagascar hissing cockroaches, Vietnamese walking sticks and other arthropods.
Honey bee specialists from the UC Davis Department of Entomology and insect experts from the Bohart Museum of Entomology will be there at various times to answer questions.
Elsewhere on the fairgrounds, you'll see insect photography and insect motifs on quilts, aprons, birdbaths, flower pots and other items. Interior Living Showcase superintendent Debee Lamont (who works year-around as gifts and records management specialist in University Relations, UC Davis) says insect images adorn numerous quilts at the fair. Insects include honey bees, butterflies and dragonflies.
Sorry, no quilts with Madagascar hissing cockroaches or Vietnamese walking sticks.

Biodiversity in the Honey Bee Haven
When the half-acre Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven is implemented by the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis later this year, honey bees won't be the only ones enjoying the garden.
Expect to see butterflies, bumblebees and other insects.
Remember the project? Last December Häagen-Dazs ice cream committed $125,000 to the UC Davis Department of Entomology for the bee haven. A Sausalito team-- landscape architects Donald Sibbett and Ann F. Baker, interpretative planner Jessica Brainard and exhibit designer Chika Kurotaki--won the design competition, which drew 30 entries. One was submitted from as far away as England.
The key goals of the garden are to provide bees with a year-around food source, to raise public awareness about the plight of honey bees and to encourage visitors to plant bee-friendly gardens of their own.
We're all eagerly looking forward to the garden, which will be dedicated in October.
Meanwhile, scientists at the Laidlaw facility plan to examine the diversity of insects already there. One insect we saw there last week was a soapberry bug on a flowering almond tree.
So bees, butterflies, bumblebees and soapberry bugs.
Among others.
Lots of others.
Soapberry bug
The Humble Bumble Bee
A sure sign of approaching spring...
As the cold weather subsides, out come the overwintering queen bumble bees. They're gathering nectar and pollen, building their nests and laying eggs.
Lynn Kimsey, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology, found a young queen bumble bee (Bombus melanopygus) on campus yesterday.
The confused queen managed to fly into Briggs Hall, home of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
These particular bees, native to North America, are nicknamed "the orange-rumped bumble bees." They're basically your fuzzy-wuzzy, yellow-banded black bumble bees.
Last year UC Davis entomologist Robbin Thorp tended a nest of Bombus melanopygus on the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility grounds at UC Davis. The story behind the story: an area resident was seeking a temporary location for the bumble bees, which were nesting in his birdhouse. Thorp obliged.
The photos below:
Kimsey's queen bumble bee (which rates a solid 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 for fuzzy-wuzziness) and a bumble bee ready to take flight from the birdhouse. The bumble-bee-in-the-birdhouse photo, taken Feb. 29, 2008, received an online presence when the North Carolina State University Museum asked to borrow it to illustrate some text.
All hail the humble bumble bee...ever beautiful and ever resourceful.

A Wonderful Gift
It's a wonderful gift.
Häagen-Dazs last December committed $125,000 to the UC Davis Department of Entomology to establish a bee friendly garden at the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility, and today, the winner of the design competition takes center stage.
The winner...drum roll, please...a team from Sausalito.
The four-member team created a series of interconnected gardens with such names as Honeycomb Hideout, Nectar Nook and Pollinator Patch to win the international competition, which drew 30 entries--one from as far away as
Landscape architects Donald Sibbett and Ann F. Baker, interpretative planner Jessica Brainard and exhibit designer Chika Kurotaki submitted an amazing design that will be brought to life this summer on a half-acre site on the Laidlaw facility grounds. (View the 21-page design on this page
.The key goals of the garden are to provide bees with a year-round food source, to raise public awareness about the plight of honey bees and to encourage visitors to plant bee-friendly gardens of their own.
It all started in February 2008 when Häagen-Dazs launched a national campaign to help the honey bees. They donated a total of $250,000 for honey bee research at UC Davis and Pennsylvania State University; launched an educational Web site, formed a scientific advisory committee, and created a new ice cream flavor, Vanilla Honey Bee.
And now comes the Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven. Or bee heaven.
"We'll not only be providing a pollen and nectar source for the millions of bees on campus, but we will also be demonstrating the beauty and value of pollinator gardens," said design competition coordinator Melissa "Missy" Borel, program manager for UC Davis'
"The winning design fits beautifully with the campus mission of education and outreach, and it will tremendously benefit our honeybees at Bee Biology," said Lynn Kimsey, professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology. "The garden will be a campus destination."
And it's a close destination for the 50-some colonies at the Laidlaw facility and for neighboring bees, native pollinators and other beneficial insects.
Worker bees live only four to six weeks during their peak season. Now they won't have far to travel to gather nectar, pollen and propolis in an environmentally friendly garden filled with some 40 different varieties of flowering plants.
Meanwhile, honey bee research to determine what's causing the declining bee population continues unabated.
Honey bees will never know the source of their gift, but the people who support them, care for their needs and admire them will.
It's a wonderful gift.

Diggin' Darwin Day
It promises to attract a large crowd.
The UC Davis Center for Population Biology is planning a Darwin Day on Monday, Feb. 23.
If it sounds like a belated birthday party, it is and it isn't.
Darwin Day, billed as "a global celebration of science and reason," is held on or around Feb. 12, the birthday anniversary of evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin, according to a specially set up Web site dedicated to him and his work.
The Davis celebration, free and open to the public, begins at 7 p.m., in the Varsity Theatre, 616 Second St., Davis.
The one-hour event will include two public lectures, a birthday cake, and insect and fossil exhibits.
The event is sponsored by the Center for Population Biology and also involves the Department of Entomology, the Department of Geology, the Bohart Museum of Entomology and the
"This is a great synergy between the Center for Population Biology, the Department of Entomology, the Department of Geology, the Bohart Museum of Entomology and the
Presenting the public lectures will be evolutionary ecologist Maureen Stanton, chair and professor, Department of Evolution and Ecology, and evolutionary biologist Jonathan Eisen, who maintains a lab in the the UC Davis Genome Center and holds appointments in the Departments of Medical Microbiology and Evolution and Ecology. He also writes a blog, The Tree of Life.
Eisen's topic is "Evolutionary Biology is a Valuable and Practical Tool." He elaborates: "Evolution is frequently interpreted as a science of the past. However, an evolutionary perspective is a powerful and irreplaceable tool in studying and understanding the world around us. I will give examples of how information on evolution plays critical roles in subjects ranging from drug and vaccine development, forensics, conservation biology, and human medicine."
Graduate students in the Center for Population Biology graduate students organized the free lectures.
UC Davis entomology graduate students Andrea Lucky, Sara Diamond and James Harwood will show live insects from the Bohart Museum of Entomology. The museum houses seven million insect specimens, but also includes live ones, such as Madagascar hissing cockroaches and walking sticks.
The Darwin Day event is one of more than 700 celebrations occurring globally--on or around Feb. 12.

The feeling of smooth cold plastic graces your hand as you remove the large black circle from its cardboard sleeve. While gently laying down the disk and lowering the needle onto its spinning surface, Lightning Hopkins' first note rings, transporting you to a smoky blues bar in the heart of southern Chicago.
In today's age of impatience, instant gratification and technology, music comes as a soothing relief for the stresses of everyday life. Compact discs, audio cassettes and even eight-tracks count as viable alternatives to seeing your favorite musical act in concert. However, only one medium can accurately replicate the emotional experience of a live performance: vinyl.
For most, vinyl signifies an obsolete technology. Its cumbersome size, less-than-crystalline sound quality and extreme fragility are liabilities when compared to a CD. Some perceive these traits as shortcomings, while collectors argue they give records their unique charm.
Many audiophiles disregarded records after the advent of cassettes. Even more people deserted the format after the invasion of the compact disc. To go even further, some music aficionados claim that a re-mastered version of their favorite album on CD easily bests the fuzzy, unclear sound that comes from a record.
These hasty technological conversions were soon reversed by the argument that records are the only way to listen to artists like Duke Ellington, Credence Clearwater Revival and James Brown and still hear the artist's musical intentions. Freshman Derrick Jeffereies, a devout record collector since the age of 13, feels "more connected to the artist" when he listens to a record.
"There are certain types of music that just sound better on vinyl. Old blues artists cannot be heard the same way on a CD versus a record," said Kyle Yates, Jeffereies' roommate and also a long-time collector of records. Though digital recording relays the delicacies of musical composition more accurately, older artist's true intent can only be realized through the warm, muted tones of an analog record.
Aside from appreciation for its sonic honesty, many vinyl fans have a romantic connection with their collection. Jeffereies stresses that the romance of searching for a rare record is well worth the effort. Taking a new discovery out of its art-plastered sleeve and gently laying it on the turntable for the first time far surpasses pushing a tape or CD into your stereo and hitting the play button.
The attention demanded by vinyl ensures that its owner cherishes his collection and addresses the process of decay. Like small children, records have to be cleaned and handled tenderly to avoid damage. They demand vigilance while on the table to make sure they aren't damaged by circumstances out of their control (like a malevolent needle). This kind of babying produces a special kind of relationship between collector and record.
Many recordings, especially those of older artists, can only be found on vinyl. Demand for rare, older recordings has been steady. Since the early '90s, there has been a surprising resurgence in the demand for contemporary pop music on vinyl. Vinyl's newly found popularity results from influences of underground music (which has always had an allegiance to the medium), the increasing age and nostalgia of bands like Pearl Jam, electronic and hip-hop DJs in need of good sampling and scratching material, and the fetish-like qualities of everything retro.
As America's population steadily ages along with the baby-boomers, the aging technologies of their generation gradually recede in obsolescence. Though the fads will come and go, the emotional connections collectors have with their records can never be replaced.

Beginning his 25th consecutive year as the lead producer for an NFL primetime game, Fred Gaudelli is in his ninth season as coordinating producer of Sunday Night Football, which received the Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series in each of the last six years – a Sports Emmy record.
For three consecutive seasons, Sunday Night Football has been the most-watched primetime show on television, and Super Bowl XLVI in February 2012 was the most viewed program in U.S. television history at the time. An 18-time Emmy Award winner, Gaudelli has produced four Super Bowls (XLIII, XL, XXXVII and XLVI) and will produce his fifth – Super Bowl XLIX in Arizona on February 1, 2015 – following the 2014 NFL season.
Prior to joining "Sunday Night Football," Gaudelli spent five seasons as producer of ABC's "Monday Night Football," including producing Super Bowl XL in February 2006. With Gaudelli as producer, "Monday Night Football" and the production of Super Bowl XXXVII were nominated for nine Emmy Awards, winning four, including Outstanding Live Sports Series in 2004 for MNF. He produced ESPN's "Sunday Night Football" game telecasts from 1990 through 2000.
Gaudelli introduced the critically acclaimed 1st & Ten technology, the electronically produced yellow line that appears to be painted across the field at the first down marker, the GoalPost Cam and the rotating clock/score box. In addition he produced the first live sports telecast to use real-time polling data (via Enhanced TV) on all instant replay challenges. In 1997, Gaudelli oversaw ESPN's day-to-day coverage of Major League Baseball, which won the CableACE Award for Outstanding Live Sports Series.
Named senior coordinating producer at ESPN in November 1996, Gaudelli oversaw day-to-day administration of the cable network's National Football League telecasts, as well as the NFL Draft and X Games. He also served as senior producer of the ESPY Awards from 1998-2001. Gaudelli was named producer of ESPN's NFL Draft coverage in 1990.
Upon joining ESPN's remote production department in March of 1983, Gaudelli worked as an associate producer on a variety of sports, including college football, basketball and baseball, the USFL, the U.S. Olympic Festival and the NFL Draft. In 1986 he produced the network's live Thursday night college football series. Additionally, while producing the 1988 College World Series, Gaudelli introduced the technique of live tracking the speed of pitches – a first on television. Prior to joining the remote production department, he worked in the network's administration department.
A native of Harrison, N.Y., Gaudelli earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Long Island University/C.W. Post in 1982. He currently resides in Madison, Conn., and has a daughter, Reese.

Special to The Hays Daily News
ELLIS -- Mud drips off the fender of his Ford pickup as he turns onto the asphalt highway. His hands and feet are frozen from walking the lines of an Ellis County farm with the property owner on a bitter early January day. It's another day at the office for Adam Hann.
It's Hann's favorite time of year. Winter and early spring are when deer hunters throughout North America relive the many memories from the past hunting season and begin planning for the next fall hunting season -- and where they will go to hunt. Many choose Kansas, and that's why Hann is excited.
He and the other land specialists at Whitetail Properties are the industry leaders for selling recreational hunting land in Kansas. As Hann canvasses his territory -- which includes Barton, Ellis, Ness, Pawnee, Rush, Russell and Trego counties -- he knows his next phone call could be a future Kansas landowner.
Since its founding in 2007, Whitetail Properties has exploded into North America's top place to buy and sell recreational hunting and farmland. That fact was cemented in 2012, with nearly $250 million in sales and being named one of "America's Best Brokerages" by the Land Report.

Officials say LOB hike could help
By JUDY SHERARD
Nearly 14,200 qualified voters in Hays USD 489 will have a chance to decide in June whether to increase the local option budget from 30 percent to 31 percent.

By JUDY SHERARD
Nearly 14,200 qualified voters in Hays USD 489 will have a chance to decide in June whether to increase the local option budget from 30 percent to 31 percent.
The board of education called a special meeting during their Monday night work session in order to vote for a resolution to authorize a mail ballot election for the 1-percent LOB increase.
If approved by the voters, the increase would mean an additional $37.95 property taxes assessed on a $100,000 house, according to information from the school district.
The school district is facing an estimated shortfall of $1.3 million next year, and the "roughly $200,000" the 1-percent increased LOB would raise could be used to offset some fee increases, Superintendent Dean Katt said Monday night.
The district also has put 16 teachers on notice their contracts might not be renewed in a staff reduction move.
"We're trying to save some teachers' positions and eliminate big classes," said Marty Patterson, BOE member.
Approximately a dozen teachers are leaving on their own accord, so teacher cuts might not be needed, said Kim Schneweis, Hays-NEA president.
Schneweis said she's glad the district is taking the LOB increase to a vote.
"We can make cuts, but we need to look for revenues," she said.
Estimated cost of the mail-in election is $20,000, Katt said.
"The money (to pay for the election) would come out of the general fund or supplemental general, probably out of board expense," Katt said.
The tentative date for the ballots to go to the post office is June 10, Ellis County Clerk Donna Maskus said.
Ballots will be sent to registered voters' addresses. They aren't forwarded, so anyone who's moved or changed their name should update their voter registration.
The names of anyone who has not voted in the last two general elections are removed from the voters' rolls, Maskus said.
Voters not sure of their status can call the county clerk's office to verify the information.
Registration books close 21 days prior to election, so voters who need to register or re-register must do so by June 6.
Ballots, which include return postage, must be received in the Ellis County Clerk's office by noon June 27.
"Anything returned after that will not be opened," Maskus said.
Because it is a mail ballot, qualified voters must sign at the designated place, and the signatures will be verified by the clerk's office.
The last mail ballot election in Ellis County was a retail sales tax question in 1997, Maskus said.
"Mail ballot elections have better turn out," Maskus said.
USD 489 voters went to the polls April 7, 2009, to vote on a 1-percent increase in the LOB for two years for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 school years. The additional money was to be used for student instruction. The measure failed by a vote of 2,143 to 1,069, Maskus said.
* * *
If USD 489 voters pass a 1-percent increase in the local option budget, it could clear the way for an additional 2-percent increase in the LOB without public approval.
According to a Kansas Association of School Boards analysis and position paper, the recently passed school finance bill, HB 2506, that's been sent to the governor, includes changes in the LOB election requirements.
For the 2014-15 school year, only school districts that have adopted an LOB of more than 30 percent on or before June 30 "may adopt a second resolution in an amount not to exceed 2 percent by board action only." The resolution expires June 30, 2015.
If the 1 percent LOB increase passes, and the USD 489 board chooses to pass a resolution increasing the LOB further, the USD 489 LOB could increase from 30 percent to 33 percent. The additional 2-percent increase would not have to be approved by voters. After the June 30, 2015, expiration, a mail ballot election would be required to exceed an LOB of 30 percent, according to the KASB.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals will interview Andy Reid
Just hours after the Arizona Cardinals announced that they had fired head coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves, names started surfacing for the job openings.
At a Monday press conference, Cardinals president Michael Bidwill confirmed three candidates that will be interviewed for the head coaching position: Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton, Denver offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid, who was also fired Monday morning.
The news of McCoy's interview was broken earlier in the day by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"We've reached out to Mike McCoy and I'll be speaking to him in the next several days," Bidwill said. "I've also reached out and gotten permission to speak with Andy Reid, so we'll be speaking to Coach Reid in the next few days as well."
Reid coached 14 years in Philadelphia, racking up a .583 winning percentage, guiding the Eagles to five NFC Championship games and one trip to the Super Bowl.
But after the Eagles spent big money in free agency prior to the 2011 season, expectations galore were heaped on the team and they failed to respond. Philly went 12-20 over the next two seasons which led to Reid's departure.
Bidwill failed to give any other names that are being considered by the Cardinals at this point.
"There will be further updates, I'm sure, as we get through the next couple days. We are dealing with the holiday and some of the other limitations such as playoffs and things along those lines," Bidwill said.

Aiden 3-Shelf Console
The Industrial Revolution!
So glad I bought this! Very industrial looking console table, with all metal frame and metal casters. Solid construction and it goes together in 10 minutes. Just follow the instructions (putting it together on it's side, as another reviewer noted and don't fully tighten all of the bolts until it's upright). I used a small level to ensure I had it just right. Such an amazing looking piece of furniture (one that you'd expect to see at high-end furniture stores). Now we want the matching coffee table tool

Bought the 2-Shelf Console
The metal and wood contrast look very good, and the quality for the [$] price tag (2-shelf version) is actually good. Here's the thing that makes all the difference: they instruct you to assemble it on it's side, which pretty much means it will wobble when you stand it upright. I recommend this: go ahead and assemble it on it's side, but don't tighten the bolts firmly, just enough to keep it together. Stand the console upright on a level surface, tap/push down both sides of each shelf, now tighten the bolts. While it may not be perfect (nor may your floors) it should be much more stable.

Don't waste your money
Had 2 arrive damaged. the wood top is very thin and cracks very easily. It looks like a solid top, but the wood just around the frame is the only thick wood. The entire interior of the shelf is pancake thin. The metal is also cheap and thin and bends very easily. Do not waste you money on any piece in the Aiden collection unless you are alright with a very cheap product.
