One Came Home
Page 2 of 2
Georgie's memories of Agatha are beautifully, seamlessly woven into the telling of this story. She dreams of a night years ago when she "crept through the house and finally found her in the vegetable garden out back, the wind twisting her nightgown around her ankles….The two of us, in white nightgowns, stood hand in hand between rows of carrots and lettuce. I felt the garden dirt between my toes, and liked the way her hand fit around mine." But just like that night, Agatha has now slipped away as if she weren't even trying to hold on.
Telling the story of the largest pigeon nesting ever recorded was inspired by a nonfiction history of passenger pigeons. A list of sources for the adult reader, including that history, and an interesting author's note are included.
"One Came Home" is a rare gem of a novel. It's an adventure about a most unusual topic, set in a place and time not often written about for readers of any age. The writing is both luminous and laugh-out-loud funny, the author well-informed and passionate. As Georgie remarks about her four-legged traveling companion, this book possesses "a cornucopia of admirable characteristics."
Well done, Amy Timberlake. You've created a character and a great adventure we won't soon forget.

Pick-and-mix brands
Four different drinks manufacturers have untied to launch Frisbox, a multipack that contains five different brands sold together in one pack. Frisbox is available exclusively at Albert Heijn.
Why it matters
Consumers see variation as a key purchase driver, especially within the food and drink market, where they often buy from a wide range of brands. Will we see further examples of grouped products such as multi-branded lunchbox selections that give the consumer variety as well as being mutually beneficial for the collaborating brands?
Appetite for business apps
Research agency Millward Brown now deliver reports via a free iPhone application available to clients.
Why it matters
Should other research and information-providing companies think about "mobile application" channels in the B2B market?
Street fit
The Great Outdoor Gym Company are the pioneers of outdoor gym equipment in the UK. Their gyms are found in local parks and contain everything that a normal gym has, from treadmills to fitness bikes and ski machines. The outdoor equipment is free to use and colour-coded according to the type of exercise it entails (pink for resistance, yellow for cardio and blue for stretching).
Why it matters
Making gym access freely available gives consumers opportunities to benefit from the services on their own terms, without fixed gym memberships and outside of the sometimes daunting gym environment. How can other brands take their services out of their everyday environment to attract new consumers?

Height difference between boulevard and beach.
Beauty spots
The design has taken into account those beauty spots that are so typical of Katwijk. The squares are all placed in such a position that landmarks such as the church, the Lighthouse and Hotel Savoij, making them recognizable from a distance. At the lighthouse square is a new amphitheatre emphasizing the difference in height. The new sea square, with a giant bench (30 mtrs in length) is the absolute centrepiece of the Boulevard.

Simple, natural looking design with sturdy elements in scale with the dunes and the sea are used. For example the specially developed gravel tile. The spots of mother of pearl give the tiles a glistering image, without standing out too much.

Lysine 48-linked polyubiquitin chains are the principle signal for targeting proteins for degradation by the 26 S proteasome. Here we report that the conjugation of Nedd8 to ROC1-CUL1, a subcomplex of the SCF-ROC1 E3 ubiquitin ligase, selectively stimulates Cdc34-catalyzed lysine 48-linked multiubiquitin chain assembly. We have further demonstrated that separate regions within the human Cdc34 C-terminal tail are responsible for multiubiquitin chain assembly and for physical interactions with the Nedd8-conjugated ROC1-CUL1 to assemble extensive ubiquitin polymers. Structural comparisons between Nedd8 and ubiquitin reveal that six charged residues (Lys4, Glu12, Glu14, Arg25, Glu28, and Glu31) are uniquely present on the surface of Nedd8. Replacement of each of the six residues with the corresponding amino acid in ubiquitin decreases the ability of Nedd8 to activate the ubiquitin ligase activity of ROC1-CUL1. Moreover, maintenance of the proper charges at amino acid positions 14 and 25 are necessary for retaining wild type levels of activity, whereas introduction of the opposite charges at these positions abolishes the Nedd8 activation function. These results suggest that Nedd8 charged surface residues mediate the activation of ROC1-CUL1 to specifically support Cdc34-catalyzed ubiquitin polymerization.

Pool Party Wut! for Real, PS14 July 31
Categories: Auditory
No one has seen or heard hide nor hair of them since. We were finally able to get hold of Guirdo who repeated some oft repeated rumours about the enigmatic geniuses. Some say Hand Gloveless moved to Central Florida to work in a quarry, excavating cubic zirconia. We know for a fact that the Lifeguard is usually always on duty performing CPR on willing subjects. Dick Dumb moved to Chevy Chase, Maryland in order to be in "the Holy Land," and Creep Guirdo is a world-renowned Deep House DJ in Munich and Rotterdam. This is a once in a lifetime chance to see this rather excellent band who returns to PS 14 for the first time on Friday July 31.
Pool Party happens with the Jacuzzi Boys on Friday, July 31 at PS 14. Do your job for god's sake.

FHSU's Hewson playing more consistent for Tigers
Published on -10/16/2012, 10:25 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
Fort Hays State University sophomore outside hitter Sara Hewson was in the conversation for MIAA Freshman of the Year last fall, but didn't play from Oct. 9 to Nov. 14 because of a stress fracture.
The injury dropped her out of the picture for Freshman of the Year, but the athletic Hewson still delivered a solid season. She collected all-MIAA honorable mention honors after she collected 2.32 kills per set with a .165 hitting percentage and 2.87 digs per set.
This year, Hewson is one of the team captains and, along with junior middle hitter Kylee Hoagland, is the lone Tiger to start all 26 matches.
Hewson ranks third on the team with 86 sets played. Fourth-year coach Kurt Kohler called Hewson a "pretty stable kid," but one who has plenty to focus on.
Hewson has performed well defensively, but struggled offensively before playing better in the last week.
"There is a lot on my mind, because I always do want to win, and I am always trying to think of, 'How can I help the team? How can I help her? How can I do my job?,'" Hewson said. "But I have just settled into my role a little more now as the season has progressed. I think that's stepping up as a teammate."
For the season, Hewson has collected 1.93 kills per game with a .121 hitting percentage. She has averaged 2.65 digs per game, third-best on the team and most among the Tigers' non-specialists. The Tigers have been inconsistent offensively on the outside, including with Hewson and junior outside hitter Madison Schwartz, a two-time all-MIAA honorable mention selection.
In a 3-0 home loss to Lindenwood (Mo.) University last Friday, Hewson led the team with 10 kills, hit .152 and collected 12 digs. The team hit .103.
It was Hewson's first double-digit kill performance since Sept. 19. On Saturday, Fort Hays didn't play well again in a 3-0 home loss to Truman State (Mo.) University.
Hewson had eight kills and hit .088, higher than the team's average of .062.
"Sara has been picking it up," Kohler said. "I think offensively, she is starting to play a whole lot better. I thought she had a great defensive performance the last two nights."
Today, Fort Hays (18-8, 4-5 MIAA) will play its final non-conference matches of the year against NAIA York (Neb.) College. The first match is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. with the second one to follow at 7 p.m. The Tigers will host their Pass Set Pink Promotions with the first 300 fans receiving a mini volleyball. T-shirts available for $10.
In her last seven matches dating back to Oct. 5, Hewson has averaged 2.3 kills and 2.8 digs per set.
In that span, Hewson has hit at least .200 in three matches and hit at least .100 in five.
In her previous 10 matches before Oct. 5, Hewson exceeded a .200 hitting percentage just twice.
"You can see your teammate is not playing their best, so I think fighters find it within themselves to step up and pull up your team's slack, because you are going to have those days, too," Hewson said. "So, just trusting each other that we can step up when someone is not playing their best."

Curried Chicken with Fresh & Dried Cranberries
Fresh and dried cranberries, tomatoes, mustard seeds and fragrant curry spices brighten this zesty Indian-spiced chicken stew. The dish is excellent prepared ahead and reheated, so it's a convenient entrée for casual entertaining. Serve with brown basmati rice.
Serves: 8
Preparation time: 1 hour
3 teaspoons canola oil, divided
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices
3 tablespoons mild or medium-hot curry powder, divided
2 teaspoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
Generous 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, or cloves
15-ounce can diced tomatoes with mild green chiles
1-1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1-1/3 cups sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen, thawed, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
1. Heat 1-1/2 teaspoons oil in a nonreactive Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken pieces and sprinkle with a generous 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Heat the remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons oil in the pot. Add the remaining chicken; sprinkle with another generous 1/2 teaspoon curry powder and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the plate.
2. Add butter, onion and mustard seeds to the pot; cook, stirring, until the seeds pop and the onion begins to brown, 2-4 minutes. Return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the pot, sprinkle with the remaining curry powder and cardamom (or cloves); stir to coat the chicken with the spices. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes, broth, dried and fresh cranberries, ginger and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces slightly and the chicken is cooked through, 10-12 minutes more. Serve garnished with cilantro.

Cranberry-Nut Mini Loaves with Flaxseeds
This tender, flavorful bread is made more wholesome with whole-wheat flour and flaxseeds. You can easily double the recipe if you are making these baby loaves as gifts.
Serves: 24
Preparation time: 1-3/4 hours
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
2 oranges
Orange juice, if needed
1/3 cup whole flaxseeds
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, or pecans (2 ounces), divided
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat three 6" x 3" mini-loaf pans (2-cup capacity) with cooking spray.
2. Pulse cranberries in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Grate orange zest to measure 2 tablespoons. Squeeze juice, adding orange juice, if necessary, to measure 3/4 cup.
3. Grind flaxseeds into coarse meal in a clean dry coffee grinder or blender. Transfer to a large bowl. Add whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk to blend.

5. Bake the loaves until the tops are golden and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-45 minutes. Cool in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Loosen edges and turn the loaves out onto the rack to cool completely before slicing or wrapping.

Easy Pork Chop Sauté with Cranberries
Cranberries can be momentary pleasures, just around for late autumn - that is, unless you think to stock ahead. Buy a packet or two for the freezer so you can make this quick supper all year long. (Or out of season, look for frozen whole cranberries in the freezer case of your local market.)
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
4 boneless pork loin chops, (1 to 1-1/4 pounds), trimmed of fat
2/3 cup cranberry juice cocktail, or orange juice
2-1/2 to 3 tablespoons clover or other mild honey
2 teaspoons canola oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen, thawed, coarsely chopped
1. Mix thyme and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of pork chops with the thyme mixture.
2. Stir cranberry juice and 2-1/2 tablespoons honey in a 1-cup glass measure until well blended.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the chops and cook until browned on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Push the chops to one side of the pan, add onion to the empty half and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft and beginning to brown, 1-2 minutes. Pour half the juice mixture into the pan. Add cranberries. Reduce heat to medium and cook, turning the chops occasionally, until cooked through, 2-4 minutes.
4. Transfer the chops to a serving plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining juice mixture to the pan. Increase heat to high and cook until the mixtures reduces to form a syrupy sauce, about 2 minutes. Season with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper and up to an additional 1/2 tablespoon honey to taste. Spoon the sauce over the chops.

Cranberry-Apple Coffee Cake
This coffee cake calls for a tart apple, such as a Granny Smith or a Pippin, combined with cranberries and spices to make a beautiful topping for a delicious treat festive enough for any brunch.
Serves: 12
Preparation time: 1 hour 50 minutes
For the topping:
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cups cranberries, fresh or frozen, thawed, chopped
1-1/2 cups finely chopped peeled tart apple, such as Granny Smith (about 1 large)
1/2 cup cranberry juice cocktail, orange juice or apple juice
For the cake:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons butter, slightly softened
3/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
3/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for sprinkling
1 large egg
3/4 cup low-fat milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
To prepare topping:
1. Whisk brown sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a medium nonreactive saucepan (see Note) until combined. Stir in cranberries, apple and juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring. Continue to cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens and the berries soften, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
To prepare cake:
1. Whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat oil, butter and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, first on medium speed, then on medium-high, until well combined, about 1-1/2 minutes. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating until the mixture is light in color and well blended. Add egg and beat until the batter is smooth, about 1 minute longer. With the mixer on low speed, beat in half the flour mixture until just incorporated. Gradually beat in milk and vanilla until just incorporated. Add the remaining flour mixture and beat until a smooth batter forms, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading to the edges. Spread the topping in an even layer over the batter; do not stir.
2. Bake the cake on the middle rack until the top is puffed in places and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (the fruit topping will still be moist), 40-50 minutes. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over the top. Transfer the pan to a wire rack; let stand until cooled to warm, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan sides and cut the cake into wedges.

Cranberry & Herb Turkey Burgers
Our usual problem with turkey burgers is the dry, chewy texture of the cooked meat. The usual solution is to add fat, but a little sautéed onion, dried cranberries and soaked couscous work even better without larding down this healthy main course. If you like, serve with homemade
Blueberry Ketchup
Serves: 6
Preparation time: 50 minutes
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole-wheat couscous
1/2 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
1 pound 93%-lean ground turkey
1. Place couscous in a large bowl. Pour in boiling water, stir and set aside until the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. If grilling the burgers, preheat grill to medium-high.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add celery; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add thyme, sage, salt and pepper; cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds more. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the couscous, add cranberries and stir to combine. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add turkey and stir until combined; do not over-mix. Form the mixture into 6 patties.
To cook on the stovetop:
1. Coat a large nonstick skillet, preferably cast-iron, with cooking spray and set over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the patties, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side for 2 minutes. Cover and continue to cook until lightly browned but still juicy (the juices should run clear, not pink), about 4 minutes more. (An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read 165° F.)
To grill:
1. Grill the burgers for 5-6 minutes per side, flipping gently to avoid breaking them. Serve immediately.

1/2 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons nonfat milk
2 tablespoons pasteurized egg substitute, such as Egg Beaters
1-1/2 teaspoons walnut or canola oil
1. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add cranberries; boil for 2 minutes. Drain and cool for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, whisk all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg (if using) in a large bowl.
3. Whisk milk, egg substitute, oil and vanilla (if using) in a small bowl until combined.
4. Coarsely chop the cranberries; stir into the milk mixture. Stir the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined.
5. Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Using 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cook 2 pancakes at a time until bubbles dot the surface, 2-3 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until browned, 1- 2 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Final Frontier Goes Commercial
There are growing signs that outer space is going to become the domain of private enterprise. Since the U.S. space program began, it has been largely controlled by the federal government. But that's all changing.
The first spaceport just broke ground in New Mexico. The first commercial spaceline is being built and citizen-astronauts are ponying up a lot of money for a ride to sub-orbital space. There is even one hotelier just waiting to start building space resorts.
The personal spaceflight industry kicked off five years ago when Burt Rutan won the Ansari X PRIZE, the first in a series of commercial competitions to solve big human problems. X PRIZE founder Peter Diamandis has been pushing for private enterprise to join the space race and now it appears NASA may be more open to outsourcing some parts of the space program to commercial interests.

When Denver stay-at-home mom Becky Montgomery caught her husband of 20 years in their bed with another woman, she never dreamed her three children would blame her for the resulting divorce. Feeling like maternal failures, she and two friends (feisty PI Sam and No-One's-Accused-Me-Of-Being-Mother Teresa) form the Bad Mothers Club in order to deal with their various child-related heartaches more positively.
When her ex-husband, Jack, is accused of murdering Becky's first post-divorce date, the Bad Mothers set out to prove his innocence, but only for the sake of her children. These Bad Mothers have faced everything from terrible twos and sleep deprivation to rebellious teens and heartbreak - they're not about to let a mere murderer stop them from winning the Worst Mother of the Month award.

"Really enjoyed this one"
This was a really nice surprise. The plot was well developed and had a nice pace. I even thought the characters were likable and believable. I almost gave it 3 stars but I really liked this one. However, the characters were a little bit too perfect. Everyone was good looking, smart, and perky. The 17 year old daughter really got on my nerves. I'm not around seventeen year olds very often but she behaved like a 13 year old. She constantly whined and put demands on her mother that were very unrealistic.

BMW Motorrad announced that in 2015 will introduce a 2-wheel vehicle electric powered, the electric scooter concept C1-E. Based on a petrol C1 scooter, manufactured by BMW between 2000-2003, daring concept has an electric motor, powered by lithium-ion batteries, developed by U.S. company Vectrix.
The new C1-E presents a more compact modern design and scale but retains the unique features of the original model: the roof, roll-bar protection, seat with lateral support and seat belt. New C1 also have a more aerodynamic look with a lower centre of gravity, raked windscreen and a car-like boot.
As a scooter who wants to focus on safety, C1-E is equipped with tire pressure control, stability control, ABS and more. German producer mentions that he has no plan to introduce this model into mass production, but allow to understand it as a version of an engine equipped with environmentally it may appear in the coming years.

Where the rocks meet the water Barrington's Stonehouse Pond
Sunday, August 18, 2013
This is an ongoing column on local trails.
The short hike (half to one mile) skirts the pond and is a mixture of footpaths (unimproved travel ways, 2-4 feet wide) and trails (improved passageways, 6-12 feet wide). It's rocky and not overly suited for people with mobility problems and it's a bit hard to follow at points, but just make sure to hug the pond and the path will open up again. Orange ribbons will help guide you as well. Depending on how you attack the cliff, the incline can be fairly steep, but the view from atop of the giant rocks is breathtaking. Rock climbers are frequent visitors to the front face of the cliff and last year a Dover resident fell 70 feet and was badly hurt while soloing without the use of safety ropes. As you might expect with still waters and plenty of woods, bugs abound. Make sure to bring a can of repellent with you and check for ticks after you've finished.
The property's forest has a long harvest history, yet contains old trees, mostly aged about 135 years. Hemlock and beech dominate the landscape and the forest is presently in good health, though beach bark disease is widespread. Tests have determined the water quality to be "pristine" at Stonehouse Pond and the property contains 13 wetlands, including shrub emergent swamps and forested swamps. At least one black gum swamp contains "exemplary" vegetation. The conservation area also is nearly free of exotic, invasive plants. The following are not permitted at Stonehouse Pond: bait fishing and ice fishing (anything but fly fishing); ATV and off-road vehicle usage; swimming; and unauthorized camping. Rock climbing is not condoned, but due to the difficulty in enforcing, is left strictly up to the participant's own risk. Electric motors are permitted on the water, but not petroleum-fueled motors. Horseback riding is not advised because the footpaths are not likely to hold up well to such heavier usage. Horseback riding and mountain biking are potential activities on the adjacent snowmobile trail.
The land is owned and managed by the Strafford Rivers Conservancy, a nonprofit land trust based in Dover, and is permanently protected from development by conservation easement. Charlie Moreno is a Consulting Forester, of Strafford, NH. Rochester Times staff writer Conor Makem can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gold Nuggets win at Prairie View; Rush lose to top-10 foe
February 17, 2013
PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas — Xavier University of Louisiana's women's tennis team continued its resurgence Sunday with a 6-1 victory at Prairie View A&M.
The victory was the first in three years for the Gold Nuggets, ranked 13th in the NAIA, against an NCAA Division I opponent.
Xavier lost 6-3 to Bethany (Kan.) in a matchup of top-10 NAIA men's teams.
The Gold Nuggets (3-1), in their best start to a season since 2007, won all three doubles matches against an NCAA D-I opponent for the first time since 2008. Kourtney Howell, Amanda Materre, Simone-Alyce Ewell and Amber Brown won in doubles and singles for Xavier.
Howell clinched the dual with her 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 victory against Brittany Harrell at No. 1 singles. Harrell defeated Howell in a super-tiebreaker a year ago.
Brown and Vashni Balleste won in singles in super-tiebreakers. Materre and Ewell clinched the doubles point with an 8-6 victory against Christine Ngo Gwodog and Jade Daniels at No. 2.
In 2012, the Gold Nuggets did not reach their third victory until their 17th dual of the season.
Loic Didavi and Nikita Soifer won in singles for the Gold Rush (3-3), ranked eighth, but Bethany (6-1), ranked 10th, prevailed with the help of a pair of come-from-behind singles victories: Marcelo Alecio's 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 6-4 decision against Kyle Montrel at No. 3 and James Bragg's 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 decision against Viktor Svoboda at No. 4.

Kids & Pets
Cutting Down A Table To Make A Kids Table
The walls of Clara's big girl room are dry and the few items of furniture that we have (mainly just a daybed, an old side table, and two small wooden thrift store chairs that I don't think we've even shown you yet) are back in the room. So here's how it's looking now:
Totally done and magazine ready, right? Just kidding. But it's a huge improvement from this so we're psyched.
The new wall color is awesome. Pardon these not great pics of it (Monday's pics did it more justice). In person it's subtle and warm and cozy but not too yellow-y or peach. And since it's not too bold or compete-y, it'll allow us to layer in a ton of other colors. Highly recommend it.
Oh but since the title says something about table tweaks, here's the scoop on that. Wait, first a little info on the chairs. We got them for $8 each at a thrift store in West Virginia on our way back from redoing Granny's bathroom way back in September. Then we just tossed them into the cluttered playroom and hoped we'd see them again someday. Haha. Now that it's all cleaned out, it's like discovering an extra room in your house. Amazing. Anyway, I think we'll paint the chairs a crazy bright color (red?!) and keep the table crisp and white.
Speaking of the table, remember when it used to be a side table in our first house's den?
It was actually a side table from Target that we tweaked by adding a larger top and then painted white a few years back (originally for our master bedroom, then it moved into the den once we found a TJ Maxx ottoman that worked better in the bedroom).
It actually hasn't found a home in the over-two-years that we've lived in our current house, so the poor thing has just been sitting randomly in the corner of the sunroom or the basement. Poor little listless side table. Until now. We realized that thanks to those two thrift store kids chairs the table would make a cute little spot for those chairs to saddle up to, but it was too tall to work as-is. See how it towers over the other kid-sized table that we made for the living room here?
Well, it was nothing a little sawing couldn't solve. After unsuccessfully finding any screws to free up and remove the stem from the top, John sawed it off with a reciprocating saw and then went back with his Dremel to clean up the part we'd be attaching it back to later (so it was nice and level).
Trimming the 4-inches off of the stem proved challenging given the angle of the base. John's first attempt looked something like this. He's the first to admit that it wasn't his finest work.
Especially since it resulted in a not-so-level cut.
So he went back, remarked a level cut line around the stem on all sides, and then carefully shaved it down a bit more with his Dremel, being careful to stick to that line on all sides as he went.
Much better. But it was about a 1/4″ shorter than we originally intended. So we had to throw it away. Just kidding, that quarter of an inch doesn't matter, thank goodness.
With everything cut, he used his Kreg jig to make some pocket holes to reattach the stem to the base. Sure the pockets show a bit, but it's so far under the table base that you won't see them unless you're under the table on the floor (Clara does that sometimes, but we don't think she'll mind 'em, haha).
Now it's nearly the same height as Clara's drawing desk in the living room, see? (Note that this shot was taken while laying on the floor, so you can barely see those little pocket holes).
Now Clara will have a table for coloring/play doh/dolls/Gin Rummy in her room with her two thrift store chairs (which I fully intend to paint bright red as of right now, but you never know when I'll change my mind).
So that's what we've been up to in Clara's big girl room. I'd call it 7% finished. Haha.
The blanket is my favorite (from a Joss & Main sale about a month or two ago). And the two tie-dye-ish pillows are from West Elm. I want to add more pillows of course (wouldn't navy look cool on there too?).
Oh and the pink C pillow was from the same Joss & Main sale as the blanket. Isn't it cute? Clara is OBSESSED with her big girl bed. The doc said not to switch her until she's uncomfortable in her crib or climbing out of it (the girl climbs into it but never out – go figure!) so we're happy to keep her contained to her crib where she happily snoozes… but man oh man, she sure looks cute in this bed. And someday she'll get to officially move in.
Until then it's a pretty fun playroom…
… which beats the heck out of the junk-room that it has been for the last two years by a long shot. She says hanging her head in shame. Oh well, better late than never.
We're still sorely missing some major elements in here, so here's what's on the agenda:
- painting those chairs a bright happy color
- bringing in a dresser (we'd love to find something secondhand)
- making/hanging some curtains
- adding a rug
- hanging art on the walls along with a few other 3D objects that we have in mind (how's that for cryptic?)
- installing a new light fixture
- hanging a mirror at Clara-height somewhere in the room (she loves making funny faces and laughing at herself)
- turning that junk closet into an actual clothes closet/reading nook
- adding crown molding (along with tackling the other un-crown-molding-ed bedrooms on this side of the house)
- adding accessories like more pillows, storage bins for toys, etc
You know we'll keep you posted as we inch along! What are you guys painting, tweaking, and cutting down these days? Anyone else finding thrift store chairs or converting old Target tables? Spill it.
Our Free Annual Calendar Template Is Finally Here For You
It was December 30th when it struck me: "Cripes, we don't have our 2013 calendar ready." So I spent a couple of hours on New Year's Eve morning and a couple more the next evening cranking out our fourth homemade calendar – and as always we're sharing the file so you guys can download it too (and sub in your own pics and quotes to personalize it for yourself) just like we've done last year, the year before, and the year before that.
I'll be honest, over the years these calendars have proven more decorative than functional. At this point they may just be considered a tradition. It started back in 2010 and for the past three years it has been a variation on a similar formula: long skinny layout + brightly colored text. Back in 2010 we used funny phrases/ inside jokes, in 2011 we tied each month's number to a personal fact, and in 2012 we went a bit bolder and included photos for the first time (borrowing a favorite black & white snapshot from that month the previous year).
This year's formula sort of became a culmination of all of the past years – funny phrases + something personal + b&w photos.
I'm probably biased, but this calendar is my favorite so far. It makes me so all sappy about how much I adore our little lady. Cue the collective aww. But seriously, the quotes from her (which we cherrypicked from the Clara Conversations that Sherry's documents over on Young House Life) remind me just how hilarious she is. And although the Instagram pic along with each quote wasn't taken at the same moment as it was spoken, together I think they paint a pretty great picture of our chatty girl. For example, there's this one where Sherry said "Helmets keep the head safe" and then Clara screamed "Helmets keep the head face!"
As in past years, I've also created a stripped down version of our calendar for you to download. You'll need Photoshop to edit it by adding your own text and pictures (dude, it's free right here for anyone who wants it – Update: whoops turns out its not, see the comments for more info). And you can download the scripty "The Only Exception" font here (also for free). You won't need the other font ("Homestead") since that's already set as each month (which won't need to be altered) but here's where I got it if you want it for another project (it requires a donation to download).
As for how to edit the document, each layer is a month (so showing one layer and adding your pic, altering the quote, and then printing just that layer before showing and editing the next one is the way to go). If you're not quite the Photoshop master yet, there are some great tutorials online and a few books on the subject at the library/bookstore.
Here's all twelve months at a glance.
And since I know not all of the Clara quotes are readable at that size, here's a quick rundown for ya – starting with January:
- "Mommy's awake! Now I can scream!"
- "He has pretty hair like a lady." (Originally said about Scar from The Lion King)
- "It's Cinderinda!" (What she calls Cinderella)
- "I'm a little teapot, short and shout. Here is my cupcake, here is my shout."
- "Don't be shy. Be friendly!"
- "I smell like strawberries!" (Her response when we said she smelled like she had a dirty diaper)
- "Helmets keep the head face!"
- "Baa baa, black sheep, have you any chickens?"
- "We have to go to Home Depot to change your diaper." (Said to one of her dolls)
- "I don't have a beard. I just have a little chin."
- "Daddy's workin'. Don't bobber him."
- "Her name will be Santa Claus and she will bring me toys." (Said while pretending to have a little sister)
Oh yeah, and we just print each page on some cardstock paper using our home printer (we have an HP Photosmart C4780). Then it just needs a little trim with the scissors and a hole punch at the top and it's ready to hang.
So what about you guys? What's your go-to calendar this year? Do you keep a decorative calendar in one place and a functional one elsewhere? Or are you entirely digital with your date-keeping?

Shotgun pan!! You see them used a lot for meatloaf...
torpedo pan... hmmm... always called em bullets...just an interesting fyi comment!
I can write from experience that stainless pans can vary in weight significantly. Even the same size and brand stainless pans can vary by as much as an ounce.
A torpedo pan is long like a hotel pan, but only half as wide. They are long and narrow.
What is a torpedo pan?
Hi It would also be a good idea to have TARE weights for steel and also plastic cambros

While I have to admit I am very pleased and proud to own a Chevy Volt - a vehicle that has achieved the highest customer satisfaction ratings for a production vehicle for the last two years - I do feel incumbent to remind people that electric vehicles are nothing new. The Baker Electric vehicle was introduced in the early 1900s and was a very popular vehicle with women who found it much more amenable to drive due to the lack of stick shift that required double clutching which required lot of fancy footwork. Thomas Edison purchased one of the first Baker electrics as his first vehicle, and proceeded to redesign the battery to improve the range. With a top speed of around 25 mph and nominal 100 mile range, drivers were thrilled with this silent and elegant (for its day) vehicle.
Jay Leno owns 4 electric vehicles in his extensive collection, and has a fully restored Baker which he drives quite often in the Hollywood Hills. Here's a video showing him demonstrating and driving it.
So in today's world where we are celebrating the wonders of the new Tesla automobiles, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt and others I think we need to remember that electric vehicles are more than 100 years old at this point at all we have done is make incremental improvements in the design.

I am new here and so are most of your readers. One thing that really interests me is the history of this community. I would love to see articles in Bluffton Today that talk about what Bluffton was like in the golden days and what is here now. For new people like myself everything here is new. I don't know alot about the landmarks around here if there are any and I don't know what is here now. Businesses, recreational activities and parks, family restaurants and shopping are things or great interest anywhere. Bluffton Today could spotlight one small section of town at a time.

On Bluffton todays April 14,2005 edition in the sports section there was a huge write up about the H.E McCracken middle school baseball team. The baseball team had a great season but the girls had an undefeated season(11-0)including the tournament and took the championships. But yet we got about five senences in the write up today. The Girls worked just as hard or maybe even harder to accomplish what we set out to do. so why were we slighted by the colonist? Does he not think softball is as exciting as baseball? Softball has came up along way to be as big as a sport that it is today.

Ryan and Lynn1,
I am available this entire week except Friday. I am chaperoning an 8th grade field trip to Charleston, with McCracken Middle School on that day but am available any other time. Please let me know a place and time and I will certainly be there. I am very excited about this Teen Page and it's possibilities.

I just want to state for the record that the kids on the AA Rock Hounds team are hard workers also. The Rock Hounds have worked hard all season with thier coaches (who are very good at teaching them), and many of them have improved a great deal. We have players who have gone from striking out every time to actually getting base hits. We have a kid on our team who has never played baseball until he moved here a few months ago from another country. He doesn't even speak english. I feel like The Rock Hounds are getting bad vibes from everyone simply because they are winning.

Capt. Howard Levy, 30, a dermatologist from Brooklyn, is convicted by a general court-martial in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, of willfully disobeying orders and making disloyal statements about U.S. policy in Vietnam. Levy had refused to provide elementary instruction in skin disease to Green Beret medics on the grounds that the Green Berets would use medicine as "another tool of political persuasion" in Vietnam.
Levy, invoked the so-called "Nuremberg defense," justifying his refusal on the grounds that the Green Berets would use the training for criminal purposes. Levy's civilian attorney also argued that training the Green Berets compelled him to violate canons of medical ethics. The Green Berets were soldiers first and aid-men second; therefore, their provision of medical treatment to civilians in order to make friends was illegitimate, for it could be taken away as easily as given. The court was not persuaded and the ten-officer jury found him guilty on all charges, sentencing him to three years at hard labor and dismissal from the service. Levy was released in August 1969 after serving 26 months and immediately became active in the "GI coffeehouse protests" in Army towns around the country.

TwistedTwig- The Rhodes Scholarship is one of the most famous and competitive postgraduate scholarships. It is given to U.S students who have completed a bachelor's degree and wish to seek higher education at Oxford University in England. Keep in mind that the admissions process is extremely competitive with many winners coming from Ivy League universities.
Additionally, the Marshall Award is a postgraduate scholarship awarded to 40 recent college graduates from America to study at any university in England. This scholarship is less competitive that the Rhodes, but still attracts very accomplished applicants.

Edelman is coming off his first healthy NFL season, a year in which he set a career high with 105 receptions, nearly double his output from his previous four seasons combined. This is a guy who had single-digit receptions in both 2010 and 2011 while playing in Wes Welker's shadow. So there is a question as to whether he can be a 16-game, 100-catch receiver on an annual basis. Another issue that clouds Edelman's value in New England is the fact that the team signed similarly-skilled/productive
Andy Hart
If the Patriots fail to agree a deal with
Alex Marr
I think it would be doubtful. If New England were to invest in a top free agent cornerback I would think it would be the guy they've grown to know over the last year-plus who has fit in so well inside the locker room. Aside from the injuries – which are a major concern – Talib has been a great fit for the Patriots. Verner is almost two years younger and has never missed a game in the NFL. He's coming off career highs with five interceptions and 23 passes defensed in Tennessee last fall. He's going to get paid. I won't pretend to have seen him play enough to compare him to a guy I have seen often in Talib, but I give Talib the edge in terms of size, physical play and shut-down ability. Like Talib, Verner is one of the better cornerbacks on the free agent market and if New England won't go the extra financial mile for Talib, I don't see that happening for a player they are less familiar with.
Andy Hart
Hey guys, first off thanks for answering a few of my questions already. I follow the game so closely and it's hard to find someone to have an intelligent football discussion with. OK, so ever since A.J. McCarron voiced his wish to be a Patriot at the Combine it's made more and more sense to me. Could you see the Pats trading Mallett and drafting A.J.? My second question is just a fun thought about the Pats logo. After seeing the Dolphins, and now the Bucs, switch it up and modernize a bit it made me think: Could you see the Pats changing up the flying Elvis in the near future? I could see a more military theme look, in support of our troops, the real "Patriots". If you look up the definition of a patriot it actually makes a lot of sense, but what's your best idea for a new "face of the franchise?" Lastly, now that the Combine has come and gone would you agree the Pats could trade back a bit (like we all know they will) and still get an effective offensive weapon like Kelvin Benjamin? Sorry I have a lot of questions, there's a few. Thanks again guys.
Mike Ruiz

Don Blakeborough
I put tight end as one of the biggest positions of need on the team right now. There simply isn't a healthy, starting-caliber player on the depth chart right now. Amaro is an interesting target for his comparisons on the field with Aaron Hernandez. He has some flaws, but also great production at Texas Tech. I think that Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins – who has a broken foot right now – and Fiedorowicz are a couple of the other names in the conversation. Where New England takes a tight end – I do think they will have to draft one at some point – will depend on how the rest of the draft shakes down and where the value comes in when the Patriots are on the board. Regardless of what happens with Ryan Mallett or any other backup quarterback – veteran or rookie – I don't see any way that Tim Tebow would be back with the Patriots. He failed miserably last summer and seems to have moved on to a broadcasting career, even if he holds out of a dream of playing again. Finally, if Amendola were to get cut/traded it would certainly leave more room on the roster for Edelman to return and leave more long-term money for him, although it would actually cost the team more in the short run in terms of cap money already devoted to Amendola.
Andy Hart
Love reading you guys every week! Everyone is saying this is a deep draft class. Does that mean 2015 won't have as much talent? If that's the case do you think the Pats should trade some of next year's picks to get some of the crop this year?
Nick Cabrera
Everyone does seem to agree that this is one of the deepest draft classes in years and maybe of all time. But I don't think you can read too much into what that means for next year. It's hard enough to evaluate a talent crop when it is defined with its seniors and underclassmen. Trying to project which players will perform well next fall, and make themselves eligible for the 2015 NFL Draft, is almost impossible. Remember, all these guys who are leaving schools are being replaced with guys who have a lot of talent and potential. So let's focus on one draft at a time. That said, if the Patriots do like a lot of players in this draft, I wouldn't be opposed to be trading something from the future for more talent now. But keep in mind, New England was a very young team last fall and has a lot of young talent at a lot of positions. Not sure how much younger the team can get and for it to still be a good thing. Next year won't be the deepest of all time, again, but it might still be a pretty good class once it evolves over the course of the next year.
Andy Hart
I've been a diehard Patriots fan since the 1960s -- yes, I remember the 51-10 loss to the Chargers in the '63 AFL Championship game. No one appreciates more than I the impressive record Belichick has compiled as head coach of the Patriots, but it is hard not to feel frustrated at this time each year, impending free agency and the draft. All the talk about who to sign, who to re-sign, who to draft, and yet our talent pool seems incrementally thinner each year. We cut Gregory to save $2.5 million, but we will also have to replace him with someone at least as good. And I can't see us being able to re-sign both Talib and Edelman, so it's hard to imagine we'll have a stronger roster next year with this trend. I don't see how we came out better with Amendola instead of Welker last year. And how many clunkers have we drafted (
I think Belichick is very similar to what he has been over his decade-plus in New England. He's had plenty of swings, plenty of misses and plenty of homeruns. He has the benefit of covering up some of his personnel errors with one of the game's best quarterbacks. Depth has been a struggle due to some draft misses in the middle rounds and some poor free-agent signings. But overall he continues to put together teams – including
Andy Hart
I've been reading a lot on how we should dump Amendola. Yet I don't blame Amendola for his not so great season. I mean to me it looks like Brady finds a favorite receiver and keeps trying to feed the ball their way ex.: Wes Welker or
Tim Adams
I do think at times Brady does focus on certain receivers more than others or, conversely, seemingly ignores others. But the story with Amendola is a bit more than that. Brady and Amendola seemed to have a fine rapport until the slot receiver got hurt in the opener and then struggled for much of the year to get open. I have to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was really never healthy and at his full athleticism after opening day. Therefore, I think that Brady knew that Amendola wasn't necessarily his best option much of the time. It will be interesting to see if that changes moving forward, assuming Amendola is on the team and healthy next fall.
Andy Hart
Gustavo Ferreira
Individually, I like a lot of your moves and the areas of need that they address. But I don't think they're all realistic as a combination of transactions. Keeping Talib is going to take decent money – the market seems that he'll be in the ballpark of four years and $32 million or a bit more with about half guaranteed. Signing Allen would probably require more money than most assume, and than the Patriots will be willing to spend at a spot that could have a large number of options, including some who'll be more financially palatable. I don't think Houston would trade the first pick in the second round for Mallett and Amendola – an unproven backup QB and an injury-prone/overpaid slot receiver. Even with that deal, I don't think you could get Benjamin, Amaro and Verrett in the group of top three picks you suggest. All three players, though, are options the Patriots will be looking at individually. I also don't want to release
Andy Hart
Hello guys, I'm a Patriots fan in Brazil and I love your articles! The Saints applied the non-exclusive franchise tag on Jimmy Graham, I wonder, with the health of Gronk always questionable and constant lack of impact players on offense, if it's worth investing a lot of money and 2 draft choices and bring a player of that level?
Humberto Araujo
I don't have any interest in giving up two first-round picks and a huge contract to bring Jimmy Graham to New England. I don't think the Patriots will either. It's just too much to give up for a team that has a number of other holes to fill. I'm also not of the belief that Graham is worth that package, even in a bubble. He's a great receiver. But he was taken out of the game by Aqib Talib last year. I would only ever consider giving up the two first-round picks and big money to acquire a franchise quarterback. I wouldn't make such a move for any player at any other position. It's just not worth it.
Andy Hart
Thanks for all the great work, PFW! (does Andy talk about his "Mock Draft" on the progress or simply put out a name for the tracker? It would be nice to read his reasoning on Kelvin Benjamin's fit and BB's potential selection than simply a NFL.com breakdown.) Were you guys able to see Kareem Martin (DE,UNC) at the Combine? He appears to have great size and his numbers are decent for a 3rd-round grade. Looking through the prospects I am searching for players with enough size to play DT in a 4-3 or DE in a 3-4. What is the "necessary" height and weight for a player to garner consideration and hopefully success as a versatile DL player? I appreciate all your answers, and I look forward to reading the article every Tuesday.
Tom B.
I don't generally do a mock draft until we print our pre-Draft issue of Patriots Football Weekly in mid-April. I will, however, be putting out plenty of positional prospect rankings and analysis on the PFW blog on Patriots.com. So be sure to check that early and often throughout the next two months as I get more comfortable with the prospects through increased film study and research. I didn't meet with Martin at the Combine, but I can answer your more general question. Ideally a guy who can play tackle and end as you suggest in the two schemes is built a lot like Richard Seymour or Ty Warren. That's a guy who's probably in the 6-4 to 6-6 range, weighing probably 300-320 pounds or so. He needs to be pretty strong and stout, but also offer some length and athleticism. It's pretty rare combination of characteristics.
Andy Hart
Since the Pats don't wanna take a loss, how do you see the Patriots fitting both Edelman and Amendola in the system again this year? I know having a backup slot WR is like an insurance policy but they really have some of the same characteristics and there's no need for both of them. Also, I know we're going to get a good TE in the draft but what big target WR interest you the most for a good late pick, maybe Rutgers Brandon Coleman?
Jeremy Roberts
The offense showcased Edelman and a banged up Amendola most of the this season, so it's certainly not impossible to keep and use both players. But it's probably not the most efficient, productive, value-based way to build the offense. The more I look at it the more I think Amendola will be back and expected to earn his money and that Edelman will probably leave via free agency. I think it's too early to cut ties with Amendola after the team was so hot to get him last spring and give him five years and $31 million. And I think that Edelman, who's had just one healthy, truly productive season, will find a decent contract on the open market. Why wouldn't a team like the Lions, Bengals or others look to add his skills to their offense? As for Colemen, I did put him very much on my radar at the Combine as a big receiver worth keeping an eye on and his Rutgers roots don't hurt. But, remember New England already has
Andy Hart
What are the chances that the Patriots trade Ryan Mallett to the Texans for maybe a second rounder and a late round pick? Bill O'Brien was there when Mallett was drafted so he must have some interest in him. I feel like we could do a lot with the extra pick. Either use them both or trade up for a big receiver like Mike Evans. What are your thoughts?
Corry Porter
Hey Guys, greeting from south Jersey. Great job as always keeping us entertained during the offseason. I read recently that the Texans may be interested in trading for Mallet. Save the O'Brian connection, I am not sure why the Texans would consider this. But let's say that they were interested, would trading Mallet and our #2 pick for the Texans' #2 and #4 pick be worth it for both sides? AND if we did trade Mallet away, who do you think the Pats would try to bring in to be Brady's backup? Thanks.
Marc Roy
What do you think of the possibility of trading Ryan Mallett to the Texans? With their new head coach Bill O'Brien being the former offensive coordinator for the Patriots he has already worked with Mallett and this would end their debate of whether to take a QB or Clowney with the first overall pick.

I don't understand why we assume that because O'Brien worked with Mallett that means he'd want him as his starting quarterback? Mallett has proven nothing in the NFL and in my opinion still shows things in practice/preseason that cause me to very much doubt he's a starting-caliber quarterback. O'Brien already has a trio of more proven passers in Matt Schaub, Case Keenum and T.J. Yates on the roster. I can't see how O'Brien would want to add Mallett to that mix. I also don't see any way that Mallett would garner anything near a second-round pick in a trade. He's a former third-round pick who's done nothing in the NFL. If Belichick pulled that off, it would be one of his more impressive coups. This is indeed a key offseason for Mallett as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. But I can't see the Patriots dealing him for anything of note at this point. Regardless, I do think New England is in the market for a backup quarterback moving forward. It's hard to see Mallett in the mix in 2015, so a developmental draft pick to be the backup in two years and maybe more than that in the future would seem like a credible scenario.

We know Bill likes his farm schools, like Rutgers. Brandon Coleman WR Rutgers, is a 6'6" 225lb 34" armed freak who performed well at the combine. 4.56 - 40, and 7.33 3 cone. Do you think he would be a possibility in the 3rd round?

Coleman is a confident freak who I spoke with for a bit at the Combine. I'm sure he's very much on the Patriots radar as a unique target on the outside, a possession type and potential red zone weapon. But as I said in a previous answer, I think the same can be said in some ways about former Rutgers player Mark Harrison, who spent last season in New England on IR with a foot injury. Remember Coleman's name come May, but I wouldn't necessarily say he is a likely Patriot at this point.

Hello. I have been reading for awhile and I love you guys. Now the question I read somewhere that we are interested in Dion Bailey and Deone Bucannon. Is that true and if so what are the chances we get them between the 3rd and 4th rounds? And to address the DT position how do you feel about Ra'Shede Hageman, and the what are the chances we can get him?

Pretty sure you read about Bailey and Bucannon in a blog post that I wrote on Patriots.com regarding things I took away from the Combine. Those are guys that interested me and who I thought might fit the Patriots needs. I haven't seen anywhere, nor did I write, that the team actually has interest in them. Both are considered mid-round prospects. As for Hageman, I'm not as in love with him as a potential Patriot as some. He would have been a nice fit in the old days of 3-4 fronts. But New England has been primarily a more traditional 4-3 team in the Chandler Jones era and I don't see that changing. I don't think Hageman, who's a Richard Seymour type, is a good fit for the front right now. I also am not looking to invest a first-round pick on defensive tackle.
