1. Chiefs - QB Geno Smith, West Virginia
The recent success of second- and third-round quarterbacks is either a new trend or an outlier, because from 2001-2010, only two quarterbacks selected in that two round span can be considered dependable starters (Drew Brees and Matt Schaub). With that said, there is large group of signal callers that could be considered second- or third-round talents this season. Kansas City and Andy Reid can't afford to wait on whichever one might fall to the outside of the first-round, instead, this is one of the few opportunities a team can chose their favorite from the entire bunch. Here is more on the
QB Problem
from Eric Stoner.
Complete Mock Draft column
2. Jaguars - DE Barkevious Mingo, LSU
This is all based on a guess for scheme fit. Gus Bradley's scheme featured a run stuffing defensive end in Seattle, likely role Tyson Alualu can play. On the opposite side, the Jaguars need a pass rusher whose main goal is to get to a point in the backfield and disrupt while penetrating. Mingo can line up from the 7 or 9 technique and do this quite well. Don't get caught up in his dip in production, since it appeared Mingo was asked to take less aggressive lines at the QB in order to keep contain.
Complete Mock Draft column
3. Raiders - DT Star Lotulelei, Utah
I have no idea who Reggie McKenzie is going to cut this offseason. Neither do the players on the Raiders roster. McKenzie only has ties to a few players on the roster, so a large amount may be expendable. With Richard Seymour's contact voiding and Tommy Kelly possibly on the outs, the Raiders must resign Desmond Bryant. After that, Star would be a nice piece since he can play from multiple alignments across in a number of fronts.
Complete Mock Draft column
4. Eagles - T Luke Joeckel, Texas A&M
Obviously if Chip Kelly has full confidence that Jason Peters will return to form, this pick might not happen. We still are not sure what type of offensive system Kelly intends to run, but if Oregon-like play calling is featured, the Eagles' offensive line needs to be very mobile and balanced. Joeckel is an excellent athlete for the left tackle position with great posture. He did show deficiencies against Florida, however.
Complete Mock Draft column
5. Lions - CB Dee Milliner, Alabama
The Lions could use a pass rusher, and in fact I usually side with the defensive end in situations where they have equal grades as corners. For some reason, possibly due to ex-GM Scott Pioli's
junior rankings
, I get a feeling Milliner will be more highly coveted than many pass rushers that are generally considered to be in his talent range.
Complete Mock Draft column
6. Browns - OLB Damontre Moore, Texas A&M
With the Browns front seven likely in place outside of a strong side rush linebacker behind a three man front, expect the team to address that need at this selection. Moore has experience at both rush linebacker and defensive end, the latter being in a four man front. He offers a relentless motor, but I would like to see Moore use his length and hands more frequently while planting outside and working back in.
7. Cardinals - QB Mike Glennon, NC State
Strong armed passer who can make quick decisions while vertically testing single high safeties? I think Glennon fits Bruce Arians' style very well and thrives on getting the ball out of his hands immediately after planting off his back foot on three or five step drops. The Cardinals offensive line issues are dreadful, and Glennon struggles the longer the ball is in his hands, especially against interior pressure.
8. Bills - WR Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee
The talent is there for Patterson to be a star, including concentration to make catches with a defensive back draped on him, to touching grabs along the sideline, and excellent vision as a ball carrier. I do not judge character or injuries, instead choosing to list what has been reported. Beat writers worried about Patterson's academic standing all year, and even though we have seen less than intelligent players show excellent football smarts, it is something to note. One season at the FBS level is too small a sample size to know for sure.
9. Jets - DE/OLB Bjoern Werner, FSU
This is a questionable fit, but just looking at the Jets' pass rushers, Werner is listed at the same weight (or lighter) than both Calvin Pace and Bryan Thomas. He might not have a ton of experience in space or fluid hips, but Werner could be considered the best pass rusher left on the board.
10. Titans - S Kenny Vaccaro, Texas
Vaccaro offers some positional versatility, after showing he can lock down explosive slot receivers like Tavon Austin or roaming in the deep half. Teams will start looking for antidotes to matchup with joker offensive weapons. Vaccaro can do that for the Titans while being an every down player.
11. Chargers - T Eric Fisher, Central Michigan
It may be a stretch to see Fisher last this long, but there might not be a better fit. The Chippewa finds contact through his hands with great extension and control. An immediate starter on the left side, Fisher might be worth trading up for.
12. Dolphins - T Lane Johnson, Oklahoma
Jake Long's contract situation could dictate this selection, but without him the Dolphins are left with an adequate at best right tackle in Jonathan Martin. Johnson is not a finished product and will likely add weight to fill out a growing frame in order to absorb first contact more efficiently, but his agile feet to mirror pass rushers will keep evaluators optimistic. His posture versus power rushers could use some work.
13. Buccaneers - CB Xavier Rhodes, FSU
The Bucs have a good number of talented and young defensive players, and Rhodes fits the bill as an overly physical edge corner with speed to stick with receivers down field. He can be a bit unorthodox at times, but I definitely consider Rhodes a first-round talent, especially for a scheme that utilizes physical edge defenders.
14. Panthers - DT Sharrif Floyd, Florida
I have a feeling Ron Rivera will want to utilize more versatility in the type of fronts he runs, and Floyd fits that premonition. After mainly playing end in a four man front in 2011, Floyd moved inside and thrived during his junior season. I love his strength to press the pocket with leg drive and powerful hands to shed while penetrating, but don't overlook Floyd's agile feet as a weapon.
15. Saints - OLB Dion Jordan, Oregon
With the Saints moving to a 3-4 defense, the team seems to have both ends already on the roster. If they decide to move Akiem Hicks inside, Ezekiel Ansah could be an option here, but as a pass rusher with excellent comfort in space, Dion Jordan is an ideal prospect. The Duck's production might not stand out, but I beg you to watch the film. Jordan might not have ideal bend around the edge, but he covers a lot of ground and has strong hands. An impending shoulder surgery is the only issue.
16. Rams - G Chance Warmack, Alabama
Warmack might end up being my top grade, so I wouldn't be surprised if he is selected before this, but it is a great fit. Not only can he consistently win one on one matchups, Warmack can move to the second level and maul smaller players. He would help create an identity along the interior of the Rams offensive line.
17. Steelers - OLB Jarvis Jones, Georgia
This is a different type of edge rusher than we are used to seeing from the Steelers, but Jones' speed around the edge is undeniable. I worry about his ability to add weight and win on a counter move due to a projected lack of length (that is all without mentioning his history of spinal stenosis) but he can definitely get to the quarterback off the end of a line.
18. Cowboys - DT Sheldon Richardson, Missouri
Richardson's talent likely exceeds this slot, but if he is on the board the Cowboys have found their 3 technique defensive tackle. The Missouri product has some Fletcher Cox to him and can be scheme versatile. Richardson ended his career with the Tigers on rocky terms, but he has plenty of talent.
19. Giants - DE Ezekiel Ansah, BYU
This is an awesome fit. Justin Tuck is on the decline and Osi might not return. Ansah is a different type of rusher than JPP and would slide into the left defensive end spot and could see some snaps on the interior. The biggest setback right now is learning to disengage after first contact, but Ansah's closing speed is the best in this draft among pass rushers.
20. Bears - TE Zach Ertz, Stanford
The Bears could use offensive line help, and Fluker might be an option at right tackle or Cooper on the interior, but Ertz is an inline or detached tight end that is improving his game. He can get stronger as an end of line blocker, but Ertz finds ways to get open as a receiver and shows a willingness to beat physical coverage at the second or third levels.
21. Bengals - OLB Alec Ogletree, Georgia
It might be an easy comparison, but Ogletree has some Thomas Davis to him. He has issues getting sealed off by second level offensive linemen after taking false steps, but Ogletree powerfully closes from the backside when the lane is there or when face up on the edge. I expect Burfict to move inside with Ogletree on the weak side as a three down player.
22. Rams (from Redskins) - OLB Arthur Brown, Kansas State
Jo-Lonn Dunbar had an adequate year on the weak side (outside of pass coverage), but heading into the year there was talk he might play the strong side spot. Insert Brown, a top-15 talent in this class, on the weak side and the linebacking corps is strong behind natural anchor Michael Brockers.
23. Vikings - WR Keenan Allen, Cal
Allen suffered from poor quarterback play at Cal throughout his career, but a slight PCL injury kept him sidelined to finish the 2012 season. His route running to create separation is among the best in the class.
24. Colts - G Jonathan Cooper, UNC
The Colts offensive line might deserve multiple picks in this draft, but the interior was especially a mess. Cooper occasionally loses when attacked face up while in pass protection, but he shines when asked to pull or trap, showing uncanny athleticism out in space. Some schemes might consider him the top guard because of it.
25. Seahawks - DE Datone Jones, UCLA
Okay, this requires some reasoning. Obviously the Seahawks need pass rushing help with Chris Clemons injured. Jones' frame doesn't fit the traditional wide rusher but his game does. If asked to disrupt the backfield by attacking a certain depth of the pocket, Jones is very effective due to a combination of explosion and strength off the line. My biggest issue was his hand fighting at the line of scrimmage when asked to read and react. Also, the Seahawks aren't afraid to a take a risk or chance on prospects that don't quite seem to fit the traditional mold.
26. Packers - S Johnathan Cyprien, FIU
Many will say Cyprien is only getting attention because of his Senior Bowl performance. Watch his tape at FIU and you will see why I considered him one of the 20 best prospects attending the event prior to the Senior Bowl. Cyprien is an interchangeable, physical safety with range and aggression. I have a feeling the NFL has been high on him for quite some time, with those on the outside now starting to catch up.
27. Texans - WR DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson
A Roddy White type receiver, Hopkins catches everything in (or out) of his range. He has straight-line speed, but Hopkins' hand strength and consistency at the catch point is what makes him one of the top receiver prospects in this class.
28. Broncos - DT Johnathan Hankins, Ohio State
Man, I loved Hankins prior to his junior season. He was disruptive with strong hands to press the pocket or light feet when he needed to burst past mirroring offensive linemen. In 2012, Hankins disappeared far too often and I couldn't find a real reason why. He has upside because we saw the talent, but the consistency wasn't there to warrant a higher pick. John Fox has a history of turning these types of players around and the Broncos need to get younger on the interior.
29. Patriots - WR Tavon Austin, West Virginia
The Patriots need more speed offensively, and with Wes Welker likely remaining a major storyline of the offseason, Austin would be an excellent replacement. No one is better in the open field with the ball in his hands and Austin is a creative coordinator's dream.
30. Falcons - TE Travis Kelce, Cincinnati
This will surprise some, but as an inline option I prefer Kelce to Eifert. I need to give credit to Dane Brugler of CBS Sports for calling Kelce the class' top senior tight end a couple months ago. He would have shown everyone that ability at the Senior Bowl, but Kelce is extremely talented. This might not be popular right now, but throughout the process expect Kelce to be introduced in the top-50 discussion.
31. 49ers - DL Jesse Williams, Alabama
Williams is widely considered a nose tackle prospect, and although he could play it in the NFL, the Australian also played the 5 technique end spot for some time at Alabama. We all saw the 49ers defense take a step back when Justin Smith was sidelined. Williams is beastly strong and flashes penetration ability.
32. Ravens - S D.J. Swearinger, South Carolina
Swearinger is a personal favorite at the safety position, but also played very well when asked to line up at corner in 2012. There are times when he could be more aggressive and take tighter angles, but Swearinger delivers jarring hits from either safety spot. Roger Goodell isn't going to like this safety class...

On Nanotechnology and Ambivalence: The Politics of Enthusiasm

Get AccessAbstract
The promise of scientific and technological innovation – particularly in fields such as nanotechnology – is increasingly set against what has been articulated as a deficit in public trust in both the new technologies and regulatory mechanisms. Whilst the development of new technology is cast as providing contributions to both quality of life and national competitiveness, what has been termed a 'legitimacy crisis' is seen as threatening the vitality of this process. However in contrast to the risk debates that dominated the technological controversies of the late 1990s the vitality of technological innovation is now cast as vulnerable to lack of public confidence and trust in the regulatory and governance structures upon which such innovation depends. In order to address this deficit in public trust, science policy has increasingly turned to the social sciences, suggesting that public values might be incorporated into the development of nanotechnology at an early stage. Public ambivalence therefore constitutes the problem addressed by the increasingly central role that public engagement and participation play in contemporary science policy. Although the recent proliferation of public engagement activities is premised on the need to address this ambivalence through direct engagement, we re-interpret ambivalence as an engaged – rather than passive – mode of relating to technological determinism. Whilst the move toward forms of direct public engagement might be regarded as symptomatic of the emergence of affective mode of governance we interpret public ambivalence as a nested set of enthusiasms and anxieties. Accordingly we suggest that public engagement might be re-thought, utilising ambivalence as a creative resource, rather than as the problem.

I am just wondering? Are all these people that are against Titan really concerned for the environment or do they just not want Titan in their back yard?
If Titan chooses not to build here or is forced not to ...how many will continue to protest them when it is not in your own back yard so to speak?
Not any of you, I'm sure.

Bureau's eGuardian system will enable the sharing of unclassified information among federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has ordered the Defense Department to use the FBI's eGuardian suspicious activity reporting system to record and track law-enforcement information about potential threats against the military or military installations.
Adoption of the eGuardian system, which is now deployed on a pilot basis, was one of the key recommendations of a review panel that looked at security on military installations in the wake of the Nov. 5, 2009, mass shootings at Fort Hood, Texas. The system is FBI-owned and will enable the sharing of unclassified information among federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies.
At the time of the Fort Hood shootings, DOD was still searching for a replacement for the defunct Threat and Location Observation Notice reporting system, which was terminated in August 2007. One of the issues raised during the follow-up to the shootings is whether the military had done a sufficient job of evaluating any pre-shooting warning signs from the alleged shooter, Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.
Data will be entered into eGuardian only by authorized personnel trained in the federal guidelines and FBI procedures protecting civil liberties, Gates said, and data will be reviewed to ensure that information based solely on ethnicity, race or religion is not entered into the system.
Gates directed the department to establish a plan and issue policy and procedures for the implementation of the system no later than June 30.

I know a positive way in which this can be accomplished. Why not set up a training system for CLEARED new hirees to be employed specifically to track and investigate, then REPORT analysis(suspects) to authorities, somewhat like the FBI's "Report a Crime" /and "IC3 units" of the FBI; the system can be set up to be in line with existing "O.S." methods, but cleared appointees could be hired to conduct criminal (et alii)searches. CREATE JOBS! Training could be implemented through FBI channels/training; there are already problems that pre-exist in FBI hiring practices (too many "outsiders"), so I suggest a Joint-Task Force Board (civ/mil); you might also consider some of the EXISTING resumes for some of those who are already well-qualified for the position, especially adpet investigators/researchers who can "take classes/training" and increase certification to upgrade their current knowledge. To avoid "racial" complications, you can stipulate that applicants MUST HAVE BEN A US CITIZEN for the PAST 20 years, if over a certain age. For those under 30, requirements should be strictly set accordingly. I've turned in WAY too many cheaters in college, so please remember to address that. I would be willing to pay for training, as I am sure other qualified candidates would be. I am also willing to take a polygraph and background check, but I am still suspicious of the ignorance in the FBI these days, so this is why the dual agency/"JTF" was suggested.
Does the LNI's system allow for the near real time collaboration of threat information across approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies, bridge to the FBI's network of over 100 JTTFs of which most comprise multiple DoD staffers? Not sure you know what eG is really about. It's a great fit for force protection requirements within DoD. The LNI system and eG is like comparing apples and oranges...
One must wonder why this adoption by the military of a decidedly Law Enforcement approach to improve awareness of its surroundings made no mention of--and apparently has no plans for integration with--DoD's already highly successful "Library of National Intelligence" developed and implemented across the Defense Intelligence Agency. The LNI uses XML content created by DIA facilities worldwide, managing them in a central repository with full and highly nuanced search capability with sophisticated classification schemes. Moreover, because the LNI uses the highly flexible ICML XML structures for content, it is much better able to handle the often hazy and ambiguous nature of "suspicious activity." While SARS may have value in law enforcement circles, I believe DoD is making a mistake in its attempt to force-fit it to a very different environment when it already has a workable and proven answer in place with the LNI.

Review: BABY'S IN BLACK by Arne Bellstorf
submitted by glanderson on September 23, 2013, 12:40 pm
Arne Bellstorf's graphic "novel" Baby's in Black is the true story of Astrid who becomes involved with Stuart, a guy who plays in a band. He likes the band scene but really wants to be a painter. Astrid becomes friends with the other guys in the band too as she helps Stuart follow his true artistic calling. The girl is Astrid Kirchherr, and her boyfriend is Stuart Sutcliffe. The year is 1960, and the band is The Beatles–at that time John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe, and Pete Best.
Baby's in Black comes at the well-known Beatles story by focusing on their friends, Astrid and Klaus Voormann, two German fans and talented artists who are also interested in French art and culture. Bellstorf illuminates what it was like to be around The Beatles in those early days when they were playing nightly at The Cavern, a dingy working-class club in Hamburg, Germany. The Beatles were pure rock and roll, but many of their fans and friends lived at the nexus of the European art world and the rock world.
The convergence of these worlds provides the primary story line of Baby's in Black–the relationship between Astrid and Stuart–but we also see the other Beatles as secondary characters at this remarkable time in their career. John Lennon is the band's leader, stormy in outlook and uncompromising in his belief in the band. George Harrison is the 17-year old guitar wonder not legally old enough to be playing in the clubs where The Beatles were making their mark. Paul McCartney is the charismatic musician whose stage presence is a huge part of the band's appeal. Pete Best is barely seen, foreshadowing that his time with the band will end shortly after this period. Bellstorf presents The Beatles as a tight group who kept most people at a distance: "They share their own special humor," as Klaus says.
Baby's in Black provides enough glimpses into Beatles lore to satisfy fans. The Astrid Kirchherr photo session that produced the early iconic images of The Beatles in leather and pompadours is chronicled here, and we see allusions to Astrid's contributions to the Beatles' moptop haircuts. Bellstorf also fully imagines the apocryphal moment when Klaus approaches John to show him some album cover art and John tells him, "You're better off showing Stuart summat like that." Several years later, of course, Klaus designed the well-known Revolver album cover, a black-and-white rendering, which this book's design echoes.
The drawings here are simple but evocative, much like the rock music The Beatles were playing in the Cavern years. Some of the characters look quite a bit alike but maybe that's part of the point. Klaus, John, and George are almost indistinguishable in appearance except for their noses.
Baby's in Black will appeal to those young readers who wear Beatles shirts more than 40 years after the band's demise, as well as those interested in the indie music scene, classic rock, or the artistic life. Teachers and librarians for middle grades should know that Baby's in Black features a lot of smoking. That's an understatement. Cigarette smoke appears (to great effect) in almost every panel. Other possible areas of concern include a couple of drug references and one f-bomb. But that's rock and roll.

Red Renewal: Seattle's Socialist Spring
Presented in partnership with Town Hall, ARCADE, PubliCola at Seattle Met, Tasveer, DEFA Film Library, Capitol Hill EcoDistrict, the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies at the University of Washington and Charles Mudede
"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade." —Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
With Red Renewal: Seattle's Socialist Spring, Northwest Film Forum opened its cinemas for collective contemplation of the 2014 spring fever: sparked by solidarity but marked by uncertainty, as Seattleites debated what the future should hold.
How will this new season shape the city's political, economic, and civic landscape? What will happen to workers' rights and wages, and where will they live in a city gripped by ever sky-rocketing rents? "Is there something in the water in Seattle" that drives the city's labor movement to the forefront of national conversations? Revitalized by newly sown seeds, but a long way off from harvest, this Spring signals a moment ripe for cinematic exploration.
Winter 2013 in Seattle began with changes of pace, both in the weather and for workers. Hardly a raindrop fell in typically dour November, and clear skies greeted Kshama Sawant on the 15th, when she won an historic victory to become the first socialist elected to Seattle City Council in living memory. Ten days later, Washington voters passed a $15 minimum wage for SeaTac workers.
The year wound down while workers got fed up. One hundred fast food employees and supporters marched 13 miles from SeaTac to Seattle City Hall to advocate for the $15 minimum wage. Machinists battled what (now former) union president Tom Wroblewski called a "piece of crap" benefits-slashing proposal from Boeing. Moved by the machinists' struggle, Timothy Egan forlornly postulated: "So this is how the middle class dies. Not with a bang, but with a forced [pension] squeeze."
As 2014 dawned, Sawant decried "the reality of international capitalism" and called for "organized mass movements of workers and young people" to a thousand citizens who packed City Hall for her inauguration. The same week saw the launch of 15 Now, a coalition of community groups and unions, mobilized to make $15 wages a reality first in Seattle, then across the nation.
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, "the sign of a rising tide" marched through the city, with many marchers bearing $15 signs to form "a sea of red" that shone in the sun. Infusing Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy with the rejuvenated fight for fair wages, former head of Seattle's Black Panther Party chapter Aaron Dixon declared: "We got the power, we are the 99 percent."
During Red Renewal, community groups and citizens from across the city hosted weekly screenings and discussions around films from many countries, eras and perspectives. From canonical propaganda to satirical critique, Red Renewal recasted cinema's historical encounters with socialist themes in parallel to ongoing conversations about Seattle's economy and politics.
The shouts and songs of workers, Soviet crocodiles and Slovenian psychoanalysts, Gandhi's teachings melded with Marx's writings, a renegade East German and the return of Wilhem Reich, radical labors of love and public spheres—both real and virtual—primed for debate. It all began with a screening and discussion with Kshama Sawant and Charles Mudede at Town Hall on March 18.
"Northwest Film Forum, the city's Mecca of indie movie programming, is bringing a batch of ultra left-wing films to the screen to celebrate (and speculate) about Seattle's recent shift to the left." —PubliCola at Seattle Met

Cold Weather Spells Bad News For Older New Yorkers
AARP Encourages People to Check on Older Friends, Family & Neighbors, Releases Quick Tips to Help Ensure Safety and Health
NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Single digit temperatures sweeping New York could mean bad news for older adults, who stand at an increased risk of hypothermia, and other extreme weather-related illnesses. AARP is reminding people to check in on older friends, family and neighbors making sure they're safe and warm, and today the Association is releasing some quick tips to help.
"Older people are more vulnerable to a number of health and safety issues, such as heart attacks, falls on snow and ice, and with soaring utility bills, they often use alternative means to heat their homes," said Beth Finkel, AARP New York Senior State Director. "Checking in on older adults during cold weather is a simple act that can play a critical role in helping them stay warm and safe."
People can take a number of steps to help make sure older residents stay healthy and are protected from cold weather hazards. AARP has compiled a list of tips for coping with winter's coldest temperatures.
AARP New York safety and health tips for checking on older adults : Staying Safe- Warm and safe indoors and outdoors: Make sure older residents wear warm clothing in several layers. When indoors, stay in a heated room; avoid fire hazards by having proper ventilation when using fireplaces, wood stoves, or space heaters. Functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors should be installed. Ovens and gas stoves should not be used for warmth, as every year people are injured or die from using these as a source of heat.
- Able to go out safely when needed: Walkways and driveways should be free from snow and ice. Offer to shovel and lay down ice for older residents, or long-distance caregivers can check to see if a neighbor can help out.
- Prepared for emergencies: Keep a phone with emergency numbers already pre-entered; and make sure older persons have a personal emergency response system available.
- In good health: Make sure older adults continue their exercise regimens, but avoid overly strenuous physical activity; and maintain a healthy diet with plenty of liquids.
- An ounce of prevention: Caregivers should make sure older adults get vaccinated against the flu and pneumonia.
- Heart Health: Research has found that heart attacks and strokes occur more frequently in the winter, but not necessarily because of shoveling snow. The cold weather itself poses a risk by constricting arteries and raising blood pressure, causing the heart to work harder or triggering tears or clots in the arteries. Take it easy in the winter and consider postponing physical activity until the afternoon, as more heart attacks also take place in the morning.

I'm sure there's more to the story, none of us fine realtors would ever do that to a buyer or we'd be out of business.
You will have to work out the legal fee with the attorney, not me. I have the names of a couple of real estate attorneys, that I would be happy to give you. Please contact me when you have a moment.
Best of luck,

A great resource for finding good Attorneys is http://www.Martindale.com. You want an AV rated Attorney (the highest rating). Martindale is a peer rating service and does not sell the ratings to the highest bidder. The Attorneys are rated by other fellow Attorneys and I have found it to be the best source for good experienced Attorneys of all fields.
I have a great attorney to contact. An excessively large deposit for any real estate transaction (eg. greater than 5%) can be a big problem for a listing office to hold in escrow, even for liquidated damages per our errors & ommission attorney. Something that listing agents should be aware of.

The Echo Presents
San Fermin
Tall Tales and the Silver Lining, Western Lows
A pastiche of post-rock, chamber-pop and contemporary classical composition, San Fermin is the work of Brooklyn composer and songwriter Ellis Ludwig-Leone. His self-titled debut album is strongly influenced by his unique background in classical music, which includes a job assisting composer/arranger Nico Muhly.
After finishing his musical studies at Yale, Ludwig-Leone wrote the album in six weeks while holed up in a studio on the mountainous border between Alberta and British Columbia. He focused on life?s top-shelf issues – youth, nostalgia, anxiety, unrequited love – and tied these vast themes to different characters through vocal contributions from longtime friend Allen Tate, as well as Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius.
San Fermin is not an album of singles but rather a sweeping, full-bodied listen with multiple distinct peaks and ambitious thematic connections. Ludwig-Leone composed all of the album's arrangements and lyrics in full prior to collaborating and recording, noting that "writing for a large group of unknown musicians infused the writing process with a kind of operatic scope."
The first track released from the album, "Sonsick," tackles many of these larger themes head-on. "I was near the end of a relationship and, not coincidentally, the song contains a direct confrontation between opposing views on the subject," he says. "I realized that the most intense moments are the ones in which conflicting emotional worlds exist inside you, equally, at once."
San Fermin will be available on CD, vinyl and digital outlets via Downtown Records this fall.
Tall Tales and the Silver Lining
After the release of their 2011 album, Nice to Meet You Again, Southern California's, Tall Tales and the Silver Lining decided to try a different approach to producing/distributing their songs for the follow-up project. Front man/songwriter, Trevor Beld-Jimenez, thought it would be an interesting notion to record sets of tracks throughout the year and release one single per season, beginning with summer. Each session was recorded at a different studio, in both Los Angeles and Ventura counties, and various artists were brought on to do the design for each cover, including Kyle Field, Jason Bays, and Seth Pettersen. The Seasonal Singles were initially released online as they were individually completed. The vinyl pressing of Tall Tales and the Silver Lining marks the birth of these twelve songs in a physical media format, and is the band's first release with Rocketship Records.
While performing extensively throughout California, the band has played shows with a myriad of notable acts, such as: Dawes, Kurt Vile, Deer Tick, Little Wings, Kimya Dawson, Blitzen Trapper, Neal Casal, Beachwood Sparks, Langhorne Slim, Mother Hips, Tom Brosseau, and many more. The group is influenced and motivated by a wide array of artists ranging from the likes of The Rolling Stones to Burt Bacharach, Neil Young and Crazy Horse to David Gates, and Minor Threat to Tom Petty. Beld-Jimenez states that the songs on this album find their messages stemming from "friendships, longing, love, an arch-nemesis, partying, depression, joy, babies, and family." Tall Tales and the Silver Lining recently celebrated their fifth anniversary as a band, in one form or another, and this compilation is their sixth release.
Western Lows didn't form. Not all at once anyway. The project came into being slowly, in fits and starts, over the course of 2011 - a year that found Jack Burnside at loose ends, bouncing between a collection of Los Angeles practice spaces, apartments and home studios as he wrote and demoed the material that would eventually make up Glacial, Western Lows' debut LP.
Spring of 2012 saw Burnside travel to Athens, GA to record with Andy LeMaster (Now It's Overhead, Bright Eyes, R.E.M.) at Chase Park Transduction. Tasked with creating a sound, as opposed to capturing one, the pair spent weeks working into and oftentimes past the small hours of the night. Finish lines inched slowly backwards as the scope of the recording expanded.
Glacial combines the hushed intimacy of Burnside's compositions with the wide screen panoramic sweep of LeMaster's production to striking effect. Echoes of Yo La Tengo, Mazzy Star and even The Cure are present; the record's sonic space seems almost physical, a sort of gauzy dreamworld - dawn or gloaming, depending on how you look at it.
Live, Burnside is joined by Julien Bellin (Polls) and Michael Orendy (Frankel, Meow Meow).

Rose Garden Tea Room Restaurant Review: Located adjacent to the three-acre rose garden at the Huntington Library & Botanical Gardens, this is an idyllic setting to enjoy tea, pastries and finger sandwiches. Diners can enjoy a buffet-style display of traditional sandwiches like smoked salmon with cream cheese and cucumber, egg salad and albacore tuna, as well as assorted salads, pasta salad, fruit and pastries. There is an unlimited basket of scones for the table as well. Though it remains an essential part of the Huntington experience, the tea room can get rather congested on busy weekends, so best to plan accordingly. The grounds close at 4:30 p.m., and the last tea seating is 3:30 p.m. |

Well I have really been negligent on posting anything here…we have all been busy.
I figured that I should post that we are taking orders for package bees to be shipped or picked up here at our location. The demand for package bees is up this year and we expect to sell out sooner than we did last year so if you are interested in getting some bees this spring please place your order soon.
Our own honey production was up in 2014, but still not where we were 10 years ago per hive and I doubt it will ever reach those levels again. We have a pretty good inventory of honeys right now but we still haven't been able to find a reliable source for Tupelo, Tulip Poplar or Sourwood honey. We lost our old producers to old age or sickness and no one has stepped in to fill their place as of yet. The same is true of comb honey, just a few years ago we would have enough to last nearly the entire winter but now we can't seem to get any at all. There is a huge demand for all things honeybees making this a good time to maybe start a sideline business and we would be interested in purchasing anything you produce!!
I hope everyone is staying warm and healthy this winter!

Read Movie Reviews about Elf Write a Movie Review for Elf
As a baby, Buddy (Will Ferrell) crawls into Santa's toy bag and is whisked off to the North Pole, where he is raised as an elf. A misfit who grows to be three times the size of his elf family, Buddy ultimately heads to his birthplace of New York City to seek out his roots. Unfortunately, they turn out to be a "Scrooge"- like father and a cynical ten-year-old stepbrother who doesn't believe in Santa. Worst of all, everyone seems to have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. But using his simple elf ways, Buddy sets out to single-handedly win over his family and save Christmas in New York, hoping to at last find his true place in the world.

This review is from: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: I never do reviews. Who has the time? But I will for this. This samsung turned out to be a good one. It's fairly fast as 750GB drives go. It's quiet. Runs cool. It has advanced audio management, NCQ, etc. At 88% full the read speed is only 58MB/Sec. Write is still 89MB/sec. Hmm. Odd.
Anyhow, I've had it probably since 2009. Its been a light use drive. It was, for awhile, a primary boot drive (with heavy use). Then it was relegated to a storage drive that has been occasionally accessed for media (very light use). The S.M.A.R.T. STATUS shows that the drive has been on for a total of 40,144 hours (thats 1,672 days or a total of 4.58 YEARS!). Power on count is only 969. So the drive is left spinning most of the time. No raw errors. No reallocated sectors count. All good.
It's now being pulled from my AMD FX 8-core rig and will be used as a primary drive for someone else. Lets see how much longer it will last. I will try to an update if it doesn't die within the next 6 months.
Cons: I have my hard drives set to go to sleep after 20 minutes of non-use. For some reason the past few months, when the drive is in sleep mode, it takes a long time to wake up. Other drives spin-up, click and ready to go. This one spins up, clicks then you wait and wait. Possibly 2 or 4 minutes before the drive is accessible. Minor complaint after 4.58 years.
Other Thoughts: This is not the typical lifespan of a hard drive!!! I GOT LUCKY! I had another Samsung 1TB F1 hard drive that died within warranty. Fortunately, the drive gave enough warning signs for me to realize it was going bad (died within the 1 year warranty). I was also able to recover 99% of the data and send it in. I was issued a REFURBISHED drive. Samsung apparently DOES NOT give you a NEW drive if yours fails.
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Pros: Very fast - SILENT (in my Antec P182 case) Perfect mate for a High-End AMD/Intel Dual Core or quadcore CPU. This card in a case with good ventilation is SILENT. Did ya hear me? SILENT! This is a SUPERB card. I have read some reviews about the thermal-paste-GUNK on the bottom. No doubt true, but if you dont want to fuss with an Uber-Expensive GTX or break your wallet, THIS IS THE CARD TO GET!
Cons: Takes TWO slots? Is that a con? You should make sure you have good ventilation/room in front of the fan and I am SURE this card will be SILENT for you! Enjoy!
Other Thoughts: I originally purchased the regular MSI 8800 GT Over Clocked Edition with the standard Heatsink+fan version which took up a single slot. I sold that card and picked up this one. That OTHER card (single slot one) was VERY loud when in games. It'd wind up and scream like a JET after 2 minutes in a game and I have a huge ANTEC P182 BLACK CASE with everything but the CPU and mobo in the top of the case (4 hard drives and PSU are in the bottom tunnel completely sealed from top compartment) and it was STILL loud - mind you this was the ORIGINAL FAN+heatsink design. This 4-Heat-pipe version of the card (TWO slot design) is superb and cant be beat except by maybe another card with a clunky water-cooled design or something. This is the off-the-shelf silent card to buy. Couple this with even a modest AMD X2 4200+ CPU and you're set! Make sure you've got 2GB of RAM for Vista or XP and you wont be disappointed!
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: SanDisk Cruzer Micro 4GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model SDCZ6-4096-A10RB
Pros: FAST! Easy to use. Works as advertised. I am using this with Windows XP PRO. Goodbye CD-RW and DVD-RW (ABANDONED THEM!) Economical. FAR FASTER than the fastest recordable CD or DVD disc - no coasters to worry about. Once its copied - its there. Done and done.
Cons: U3 Launchpad adds a layer of complication and can be confusing for some. I recommend: UNINSTALL (instructions included). Actual formatted space is LESS than 4GB, true space is 3.8GB with FAT32). I wish they had 16GB drives THIS FAST and at this price! The U3 Launchpad gives a FALSE WARNING about disconnecting the drive before "Shutting down" properly. As long as you dont rip out the USB drive BEFORE a file transfer is completed - you are A.O.K.
Other Thoughts: I had been using ReWritable CD-R's and DVD-RW's for the longest time. Sometimes to transfer a small 4MB file, other times a few GB. I got frustrated building PC's and having to work with multi-session DVD's that would be unreadable after awhile. I WAITED TOO LONG TO BUY A USB DRIVE and its so much easier. This also can be used in some in-Dash Car Stereo's that have USB connectors for music. Think of the potential! ;-) Question: Can anyone look up the Read/Write Cycles for this unit? Flash Memory DOES have a FINITE life.

Henry Lewis Pittock (March 1, 1835 – January 28, 1919) was an Oregon (U.S.) pioneer, newspaper editor, publisher, and wood and paper magnate. He was active in Republican politics and Portland, Oregon civic affairs, a Freemason and an avid outdoorsman and adventurer. He is frequently referred to as the founder of The Oregonian, although it was an existing weekly before he reestablished it as the state's preeminent daily newspaper.
Born in England, the son of Frederick and Susanna Bonner Pittock, Henry grew up from the age of four in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where his father had moved the family and established a printing business. The third of eight children, he attended public schools and apprenticed in his father's print shop from the age of twelve. He left home at seventeen with his brother, Robert, and inspired by frontier adventure stories, joined two other families to emigrate to the West. He is reported to have made most of the journey barefoot. [1]
Pittock arrived destitute in the Oregon Territory in October, 1853, and was rebuffed in his attempts to become a printer for the Oregon Spectator in Oregon City, the first and largest newspaper published in the territory. Declining the only job he had been offered, that of a bartender, he found work as a typesetter for Thomas J. Dryer, founding editor and publisher of the weekly Oregonian in Portland, who provided him room and board as his only remuneration. The accommodations were meager, consisting of a space below the front counter where Pittock could spread some blankets.[2] After six months on that basis, he was granted a salary of $900 a year. Over the next six years, Pittock was receiving a growing partnership interest in the paper in lieu of a salary. Dryer, paying more attention to politics than his business, was frequently unable to pay. Pittock assumed the duties of manager and editor of the newspaper.
An avid outdoorsman and adventurer, Pittock is credited to have been the first to ascend the summit of Mount Hood, on July 11, 1857, although his employer, Dryer, made a disputed prior claim.[3]
Pittock married Georgiana Martin Burton, the daughter of a flour mill owner, in 1860. The couple had five children and lived in a small house on a block of land now known as the "Pittock Block" that he purchased for $300 in 1856.
In 1861, the newly elected President Lincoln rewarded Dryer for his work on the campaign in Oregon with a political appointment in the new administration.[4] Dryer turned over the debt-ridden Oregonian to Pittock as compensation for remaining unpaid salary and agreement to assume the paper's sizable financial obligations. Pittock began daily publication of the Morning Oregonian on February 4, 1861, on a new steam-powered press he had purchased for the expanded enterprise. Competition with the three other daily newspapers in Portland was fierce, and at least two of the rivals, the Times and the Advertiser appeared to have a better chance of success than the Oregonian.[5] To gain an edge, Pittock organized at considerable cost an elaborate system to obtain news about the Civil War ahead of his competitors. The nearest existing telegraph line ended in Yreka, California, so Pittock arranged for pony express and stagecoach relay of wire dispatches which arrived in Portland days ahead of news in rival papers who relied on reports to arrive by steamer from San Francisco.
Both the telegraph and Pittock's competitiveness would play a part a few years later when President Lincoln was assassinated in a story related by the son of the Western Union telegraph operator in an oral history recorded by the Federal Writers Project. The telegrapher had been befriended by Pittock, and when news came across the wire of the assassination, the young man concealed it from the other papers until The Oregonian had published the news as a scoop.[6]
Pittock addressed the fiscal problems of the paper by requiring cash payment for subscriptions, and implemented a vigorous collection effort for accounts Dryer had allowed to become delinquent. Ultimately, Pittock not only was able to bring stability to The Oregonian, but dominance in the Portland newspaper market. He was quick to invest heavily in new equipment and production procedures to stay ahead of the competition, sometimes dangerously stretching available capital.[7]
Longtime Oregonian editor Harvey W. Scott claimed Pittock had promised him a half interest in The Oregonian in 1877, only to learn later that it went instead to wealthy U.S. Senator Henry Winslow Corbett for a much needed infusion of cash. Scott would ultimately purchase shares in the paper, and had a long intermittent tenure on its staff, leaving for a time to work for the rival Portland Bulletin. Although they were able to maintain a working relationship afterward, it was forever strained by what Scott viewed as a serious betrayal. The bitterness would extend for generations between the two men's heirs, occasionally exhibiting itself in management disputes at the paper.[8]
It was one of several famous Pittock feuds. Another involved onetime Oregonian employee, and later City councilman, Will H. Daly. Long a political nemesis, Daly enraged Pittock by implicating him in a scheme to provide a water service to his palatial home at considerable taxpayer expense. Although the resulting scandal soon died down, Pittock continued relentlessly to discredit Daly, and ultimately succeeded in ending his political career, branding him as a socialist, through publication of documents obtained by burglary.[9]
In 1866 he was a partner in the first paper mill in the Northwest, at Oregon City, and later a second mill there and another at Camas, Washington. The Columbia River Paper Co. was formed by Pittock and Joseph K. Gill in 1884 to build the Camas facility.[10] The mills supplied newsprint to The Oregonian and the Portland Evening Telegram Pittock established in 1877 and, the expanded and widely distributed Sunday Oregonian. Beginning in 1884 new presses were bought that raised printing capacity to 12,000 copies an hour and, later, to 24,000 copies an hour. The paper mills would grow into a thriving company, eventually becoming part of the giant Georgia Pacific company.[11][12] The Telegram Building in Portland is one of the city's two remaining historic newspaper buildings.[13]
Pittock's business interests would soon grow to include investments in Portland banks, real estate, transportation, and logging and lumbering. In 1909 he began construction of a 22-room Renaissance revival mansion on forty-six acres of woodland, now a public-owned landmark known as the Pittock Mansion. The "Pittock block," still extant in downtown Portland, where he and his family had lived since 1856, had become valuable downtown property, and he leased it in 1912 for more than $8.3 million. The Northwestern Bank Building, at the corner of 6th and Morrison streets in Portland, was headquarters to the institution he founded with his son-in-law and paper mill partner, Frederick Leadbetter,[14] and now houses a Wells Fargo Bank branch, and twelve stories of commercial offices. He served as its president until his death, and it survived him until it fell to a bank run in 1927.[15]
Having briefly lost control of the paper during the 1870s, and narrowly escaping bankruptcy during the depression of 1877,[16] Pittock continued to manage his newspaper, maintaining long hours in his office until days before his death in Portland. Stricken with grippe, he is reported to have had himself carried to an east bay window of his mansion, to look once more at the vista across the city where he had made and broken careers, and amassed a fortune. The next night, January 28, 1919, he died leaving the largest estate which had yet been probated in Oregon, valued at $7,894,778.33,[8] equivalent to $107 million today.[17] Pittock was buried at River View Cemetery in Portland.[18]
Unwilling to yield control of his newspaper even in death, he had provided in his will for a majority of the shares of The Oregonian stock to be held by two trustees, with "full and complete authority" to run the paper for 20 years.[8] On dissolution of the trust, its shares were divided amongst Pittock's heirs, and for a time was managed by a board of two representatives of the Pittock family, and one representing the Scotts.[19] The arrangement eventually gave way to the Oregonian, "crown jewel" of the Pittock empire, being sold to a succession of national newspaper chains.
Pittock was among the first inductees in the Oregon Newspaper Hall of Fame at the same time as his longtime editor, Harvey W. Scott, when it was established in 1979.[20][21]

Pin Real Life
i've decided to make it a regular personal challenge to replace wishful thinking with reality.
because, by it's very nature, inspiration cannot remain passive - it must be acted upon. and besides, wishful thinking only creates a nice cosy spot for Envy and Discontentment to settle down and strangle the gratitude in your heart.
and so, the pinspiration:
i found this lonely (lovely) lambswool covered stool for $3 last week:
and although i had a list as formidable as Everest, i procrastinated (can anyone say 'denial'?!) and made a dottie angel inspired cover for my new stool instead.
i'm pretty useless at the whole mismatching on purpose thing. it's not natural for me, but i tried and i keep wanting to look over at my new stool all the time so i think i did ok.
want to join in the challenge?
here's how: add your real life pins to the flickr photo group
or grab the link-up button below
i'd love to see you "Pin Real Life" x

I totally agree with you!
