Larry Fitzgerald, his contract and "it takes two"Posted by on February 12, 2015 – 1:45 pm
Back in 2008, Bertrand Berry was asked to take a pay cut to remain with the Cardinals. He decided to do so. In 2012, Adrian Wilson was asked to take a pay cut to remain with the Cardinals. He did so (and that didn't save him from being released after the season.) The only leverage either player had was to say, "I'll leave" if they didn't like the offer. It's not ideal, but it was reality.
That's where we are with Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals. This is not a surprise, not with a $23.6 million salary cap number, an actual payout of a scheduled $8M salary and another $8M roster bonus due in about a month. Not with the Cardinals, even with a carryover of $4.2M from last year's cap to tag on to a projected $140M salary cap for 2015, around $11M over the cap at this point (according to ESPN) and needing to get to at least even by March 10. Regardless of specific numbers, the Cards need to slice some cap money.
Again, none of this is new.
I'll be honest – I listened to Michael Bidwill's interview Wednesday morning on the "Doug and Wolf" show on Arizona Sports 98.7 and nothing stood out. When he talked about bringing Fitzgerald back and working out a contract, it was the things you'd expect to hear.
At one point, Bidwill did say "it takes two" to reach a deal. That raised eyebrows. But should it? At some point, the Cardinals and General Manager Steve Keim were going to want to harness the salary cap, and that was going to start with Fitz's current deal. I thought for a while that might come last offseason, but instead, the Cards — and Fitz — kicked the can down the road a season with a simple restructure to buy cap space. We have come to the rip-the-band-aid-clean-off stage of this thing.
There are 10 wide receivers right now averaging at least $9M on their contracts. Only three — Calvin Johnson, Jordy Nelson and maybe Vincent Jackson, given all the Buccaneers' cap space — aren't serious candidates to renegotiate/restructure/get released this offseason (and Johnson, as good as he is, is headed that way in the next year or two himself, given his cap numbers.) Fitzgerald's situation, especially at his position, is not unique.
Like Berry, like Wilson, the ball will be in Fitz's court, basically. Yes, there are salary numbers to figure out — as always — but the Cards aren't going to change their thought process. Carson Palmer was asked to do something similar in Oakland; he declined and was traded to Arizona. Maybe that's what Fitz will want to do. Maybe a new deal will work for him, and maybe the other benefits of being in Arizona on a personal level make it worth an agreement. Maybe a different opportunity is more intriguing, or maybe the numbers just won't be good enough, and Fitz uses what leverage he has. But there are really no new angles that can come out on this thing. It's not hard to analyze.

Cards clearly not waiting in free agencyPosted by on March 3, 2014 – 11:33 am
Once, Bertrand Berry left, but he came back.
Having covered the Cardinals either for the East Valley Tribune or here at azcardinals.com for years, I've been through a lot of free-agent signing periods and watched the team have a lot of interest in various players. Sometimes they signed. Sometimes they didn't. And those times pop into my head with the new philosophy of the front office. It isn't necessarily take it or leave it, but it is close. The Cardinals these days have a number in mind to spend on each particular free agent and definitely a ranking system where they want a certain player first over others. But if there is hesitation, the Cards are ready to move on. They won't be used as leverage, and that's a good thing.
The Cards were frequently the team used for leverage once upon a time (the brief Joe Montana courtship is one I remember, but that was before my time on the beat.) There have been others, and that's one reason why it's good to see GM Steve Keim get past that. More importantly, it's good to see the confidence the team has in its plan. The Cards want, for instance, Karlos Dansby to come back. But the possibility of him leaving breeds no panic. As Bruce Arians likes to say, next man up, and that's an incredibly liberating stance to take this time of year. The Cards will reach out to a left tackle in free agency, I'd guess, and if whoever it is doesn't like the offer or hedges, the Cards will move on to the next choice. I have no doubt of that. The Cardinals aren't going to be cheap, but they are going to structure deal on their terms.
(This doesn't mean the Cards won't bargain shop later, like they did with Dansby/Winston/Abraham last year. Float a number, wait a guy out and if he's willing to come in for a bargain, you put him on the roster.)
That brings me back to Berry, who the Cardinals really wanted as a pass rusher in 2004. The offer was on the table and the Cardinals really wanted him to agree to it that day when he visited the team. Berry told them he probably would agree, but he wanted to sleep on it. Fair, although it could have been a leverage ploy. It wasn't. Berry came back the next day to sign, and proved to be one of the best free-agent signings the team has made, with 14.5 sacks and a Pro Bowl that year before injuries derailed his Arizona tenure.
I don't see the current Cards letting that happen much at all. A free agent who won't agree right away is risking that deal being yanked off the table quickly. Keim is going to be in control of this process.

"Third-string" Abraham and the pass rushPosted by on September 4, 2013 – 9:47 am
The depth chart, as I mentioned yesterday, can only be believed to a certain point. Things often change and are more flexible than what's listed in one certain package (especially on the defensive side.) That's one thing to remember when John Abraham pops up as "third string" behind Lorenzo Alexander and Matt Shaughnessy. I remember running into Bruce Arians at one point during the owners meetings in March at the Biltmore, and even then — long before Abraham, for instance — saying that he considered many more than just 22 guys "starters." If you were in a certain package as first unit, you were a starter. Since Abraham will be on the field for nickel to rush the passer, he too is a "starter" in Arians' eyes.
Abraham played just 27 plays the entire preseason. The Cards knew what they had in him (especially when, in just five plays in the opener, Abraham came up with a strip-sack in Green Bay.) The Cards are counting on him getting double-digit sacks this season — as he is himself — and that's been an elusive thing for the Cards' defense the last few years. The last time that happened was 2004, when Bertrand Berry had 14.5.
Pressure on the quarterback is always where the defense starts. The Cardinals will need Abraham. They will need the defensive linemen, especially Darnell Dockett, to up the havoc level. Calais Campbell has to be seen as a given. And elsewhere, whether it is Sam Acho or Lorenzo Alexander or Matt Shaughnessy, there has to be more. It will start with Abraham, though. That's why he's here.
— One more number change in addition to the ones we saw yesterday. Safety Rashad Johnson is switching from 49 to 26.

Abraham has Cards living on the edgePosted by on July 29, 2013 – 10:02 am
Steve Keim, speaking for the first time since the Cards' flurry of roster activity at the outset of camp, mentioned the obvious when talking about newly-acquired John Abraham.
"John obviously brings an element that we don't and have not had," the general manager said.
The Cardinals haven't had a double-digit sack guy since Bertrand Berry had 14.5 in 2004. In the eight seasons since, nine is the top individual number. Safety Adrian Wilson had eight one year to lead the team. Chike Okeafor had 8.5 in 2006 and he was an edge defensive end, but no one was adjusting their protection schemes for Chike. Darnell Dockett and Calais Campbell have taken their turns too, but even when Campbell was operating as a 4-3 DE he wasn't the guy who was going to turn the corner and constantly wreak havoc.
Often the Cards have made it work through blitzes and schemes. But to add a guy like Abraham potentially changes that for the better.
The Cards have tried this recently, as I've mentioned before. Joey Porter was coming off a nine-sack season with the Dolphins when the Cards signed him in 2010; Porter had 17.5 sacks the year before that. (By contrast, Abraham has 19.5 sacks the past two seasons). At 33, Porter clearly was out of gas, which is why Miami let him go in favor of the up-and-coming Cameron Wake and why Porter never made an impact in Arizona.
The way the Cards scout and break down players now, though, they are certain Abraham — at 35 — is in a much better place to produce. The previous staff tried to play Porter every down (and Porter made that a problem, fighting tooth and nail never to come out) and that wasn't going to work. Abraham made it clear he wanted to be every down but also said he understood he might be used more in pass-rushing situations.
Clarity with Abraham is easy to see for Keim, too.
"Sometimes when you study a 35-year-old on tape, he looks like a 35-year-old," Keim said. "I don't know if they put this guy in wax, I don't know what it was, but this guy can still get off the rock. He had had 10 sacks last year, seven forced fumbles. His 'get-off' to this day is still what I remember when I scouted him at South Carolina. There are some areas of his game where he would probably admit his skills have declined, but to pick a player up of this caliber at this time excites us all."

Chasing the 10th sackPosted by on December 27, 2012 – 10:14 am
Linebacker Daryl Washington, snubbed for the Pro Bowl Wednesday, is still chasing his 10th sack of the season. Notching one more would not only tie the franchise mark for sacks by a linebacker, but also make him the first guy with 10 since Bertrand Berry had 14.5 in 2004 and the first Cardinal ever to have 100 tackles and 10 sacks. Of course, Washington as been stuck with nine sacks since getting one against the Rams Nov. 25. Chasing down mobile 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick for one might not be easy. Washington did have two sacks the last time the Cards played the 49ers, but at that point, Alex Smith was still playing QB for San Francisco.
— Left tackle Nate Potter sat out Wednesday's practice with a bad ankle. If Potter isn't able to play Sunday, his backup is D'Anthony Batiste — who struggled so much when he was in there earlier in the season — and I'd think Batiste would likely get another start. That would definitely be something that bears watching.
— The Big Red Rage tonight at Majerle's in Chandler will feature not only host Kerry Rhodes but also wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, so reserve your table quickly. The show starts at 6 p.m.

Levi Brown injures his tricepsPosted by on August 17, 2012 – 8:54 pm
Starting left tackle Levi Brown left Friday night's game with a triceps injury. No way to know right now how severe — he was doubtful to return — but it could be a very big deal.
The last two Cardinals I recall suffering triceps injuries were tackle Oliver Ross and defensive end/linebackers Bertrand Berry, both in 2007. Both were lost for the season (Ross got hurt in the preseason, coincidentally, against the Raiders. Berry was hurt in November.) Until official word comes down, hope remains that Brown isn't hurt that badly. But it's tough not to think about it.
Brown's backup is former undrafted youngster D.J. Young, who didn't appear in a game last season, spending all but one week on the practice squad. The team could also use Jeremy Bridges at left tackle. Bridges played there a bunch in 2009 after Mike Gandy got hurt. For all the slings and arrows Brown has endured while playing, losing him would be a big deal. We'll wait to hear.

The free agency effectPosted by on June 9, 2011 – 4:13 pm
So I was looking over this ESPN.com article by Football Outsiders about the top 10 most disappointing NFL free agents of the past 25 years and it got me thinking about the Cardinals (although no, there are no Cards on the list). My first full free-agent offseason came in 2001, when the Cards — up against the salary cap — chose to sign Seattle guard Pete Kendall as their one big purchase, to team with center Mike Gruttadauria from the year before and first-rounder Leonard Davis to build the "Big Red Line." Kendall, as always, was blunt; when he came in for his press conference and was asked, why the Cardinals, he said, "Because they paid me the most money."
That's usually how it goes.
The bottom line is that, occasionally, help comes via free agency. More often than not, you acquire the best players through the draft because, aside from a player here or there, there is a reason a team lets a player go. Usually it's because they don't see him being worth the money he commands on the open market. (Karlos Dansby? Maybe he was. Antrel Rolle? Probably not.) I would argue that, if you charted all the "bigger-name" free-agent signings in the NFL over the years, there would be more that underperformed to expectations rather than met them.
Anyway, you look back through the years and think about the "key" free agents the Cards signed. How many provided the impact that people thought they would provide the day they signed?
- 2002 – CB Duane Starks, TE Freddie Jones
- 2003 – QB Jeff Blake, RB Emmitt Smith, S Dexter Jackson
- 2004 – DE Bertrand Berry (now this one was a real winner, even with Bertrand's later injuries)
- 2005 – DE Chike Okeafor, QB Kurt Warner (OK, that one turned out pretty well)
- 2006 – RB Edgerrin James (Edge was actually pretty effective, but certainly not the star his contract said he should be)
- 2007 – T Mike Gandy, C Al Johnson, CB Rod Hood (The Cards decide not to get FA "stars" under Whiz, just pieces to the puzzle).
- 2008 – DE Travis LaBoy, NT Bryan Robinson
- 2009 – CB Bryant McFadden
- 2010 – QB Derek Anderson, LB Joey Porter, LB Paris Lenon, K Jay Feely
Certainly a mixed bag over the years. The biggest disappointment? No, I'm not going with Anderson — remember, he was signed to be Matt Leinart's backup, so how much disappointment can there be? (Careful now …) I think I'd probably go with Duane Starks, who parlayed his spot in that great Ravens defense into the idea he could be a shutdown corner, which he wasn't, especially on a team that sometimes used Fred Wakefield as the right defensive end (Fred was a great guy but didn't exactly strike fear in the hearts of quarterbacks). Realistically, Emmitt probably provided what everyone expected and so did Edgerrin, especially since he never seemed to fit Whisenhunt's style (and was clearly at the end, which was proven out after the Cards let him go).
Berry, by far, was the best signing, based on his 2004 season alone. I would have loved to see what sack numbers he would have had if he hadn't gotten hurt every year after that. UPDATE/CLARIFICATION: Some of you want to know how I could ever pick Berry over Warner. The simple fact is that Berry, as a free-agent signee, impacted imemdiately. Warner's time in Arizona didn't come across that well until after a change in coaches. That was Warner's third season as a Card by then. Am I splitting hairs? Maybe. But in the context of this discussion, it's difficult to argue that, as a free agent coming in, Berry didn't produce better than Warner.

Off the edgePosted by on January 31, 2011 – 3:25 pm
By the time I arrived to cover the Cardinals full-time, Simeon Rice's best Cardinals' season was behind him, with 16½ sacks in 1999. I was in place just in time for a contract dispute and "Don't-tell-Mike-Jurecki-come-talk-to-me!" from then-GM Bob Ferguson. Rice had only 7½ sacks in 2000 and then left as a free agent.
Since then, finding a difference-making pass rusher hasn't been easy for the Cardinals.
They signed one as a free agent in 2004, when they got Bertrand Berry and he collected 14½ that season (including four on Giants quarterback Kurt Warner, if you recall) but then injuries and eventually age shredded Berry's chances to reach double digits again. That year was the only one where a Cardinal had at least 10 sacks since Rice's big 1999 season; amazingly, Berry's five sacks led the Cards in their Super Bowl season. Defensive end Calais Campbell led the Cards this season with six.
The Cards did get pressure-by-committee more in 2009. Campbell and Darnell Dockett tied for the team lead with seven, although the Cards had 43 as a team (sixth in the NFL), the most they had ever posted since moving to Arizona in 1988. That number dropped to 33 this season, and the current problems on offense – last season, the Cards had the lead much more often, providing more chances to rush the passer – certainly had something to do with it. In any case, that one guy the other team has to fear all by himself, he remains absent.
So that brings us to where the Cards stand now. Let's, for a moment, assume the labor issues are resolved relatively quickly. Can they get that guy now? Could they, perhaps, pry someone like LaMarr Woodley away as a free agent (although reports are that Woodley expects to remain in Pittsburgh)? Then there is the idea of someone like Von Miller of Texas A&M would be a good draft pick, because of the pressure he could provide. (There is also the idea of someone like O'Brien Schofield developing into that dynamic guy, which he was in college). For a moment, forget about specifics. To get such a player, whomever he might be, improves your secondary/pass defense, because the more pressure you can deliver without blitzing means the more defenders you have in pass coverage.
And besides, it'd be one more guy who – as coaches and players alike like to say – "makes plays." Those are the guys who tilt the game in your favor.

Stuff from practice, like Dub's new numberPosted by on August 4, 2010 – 1:45 pm
So much to talk about from this morning and lunch time. Let's get to it, shall we?
— Practice was light this morning. That's what happens when you have practiced heavy the previous two afternoons and you have a heavy practice planned in the evening, which the Cards do under the lights at Coconino High School.
— Remember the bad day rookie receiver Andre Roberts had a couple of days ago? Apparently Roberts doesn't. Today he made a nice catch at the back of the end zone on a pass from Max Hall, snagging it while keeping his feet inbounds.
— On the injury list, linebacker Reggie Walker was back to work. Cornerback Rashad Barksdale has a left foot injury, and tight end Anthony Becht is nursing a mild back issue. Tight end Jim Dray (quad) is still sidelined. Safety Hamza Abdullah remains out with a bad hamstring, which is why the Cards brought in safety Aaron Rouse. The other day, coach Ken Whisenhunt said, starting safeties Adrian Wilson and Kerry Rhodes actually had to take reps with the third-string defense because the Cards were short at the position.
— Former Cardinal defensive end Bertrand Berry was back at camp. He's a media member now, trying to get started in the business. He came up to do a series of web pieces for FOXsportsarizona.com about camp, beginning with a story on Clark Haggans and Joey Porter. "I'm just trying to learn the other side," Berry said. Berry's first video will be posted Aug. 6.
— Whisenhunt said the Cardinals were happy to get another chance at linebacker Pago Togafau, whom they lost off the practice squad last season. But it meant releasing Ali Highsmith because Whiz felt the team couldn't get too heavy at the position. It hurts the Cards that two of the players hurt right now but counting against the 80-man roster are linebackers: Gerald Hayes and O'Brien Schofield.
— Speaking of inside linebacker, Whisenhunt has no thoughts right now on where they all stand. "I have to see more and get more information," Whisenhunt said. "A lot will play out in the preseason games."
— Finally, Adrian Wilson, once again, was sporting a new jersey number out at practice. The man who has made getting a different jersey number at practice a habit didn't have the No. 9 (his high school number) on for the first time. Instead, he was wearing 5/53 — as in, a No. 53, but with the "3" blocked out on the front and back with trainers' tape.
"Camp is monotonous," Wilson deadpanned. "You gotta do something. I can't grow a (expletive) beard." He laughed when it was pointed out he did have some serious chin hairs, retorting, "I've had this for 30 years."
Why a 53 with the 3 covered up? "Just wanted to feel like I was still a DB," Wilson said. "Had the '5' showing, but I had the '53' on the shoulder because I hit like a linebacker and cover like a safety. Know what I am saying?"
Indeed we do.

Who loves Joey?Posted by on May 10, 2010 – 4:39 pm
A couple of leftovers from linebacker Clark Haggans, after talking to him about the story about he and Joey Porter I just posted:
Porter obviously delivers a love/hate relationship with many other players and fans. They love having him on their side, they hate him when he's not. One person always on Porter's side, though? Haggans' mom.
"My mom loves him," Haggans said. "He is one of her favorite people."
Haggans said his mom used to go to sports bars (because she didn't have a satellite NFL package) to watch the Steelers when he and Porter were there. "She used to hear a lot of flak (about Porter), 'He's mean, it seems like he is a crazy dude,' " Haggans said. "She would overhear people and she'd stick up for Joey, saying, 'He's not like that. He's more misunderstood.' "
Speaking about the linebacking corps in general, Haggans (pictured below) said it was going to be "fun."
"We obviously lost Karlos, Bert and Chike. But with G Hayes, myself, Joey … there is still a lot of experience. There is a lot of football 101 between us." That will hopefully pay off with young linebackers like Cody Brown, Will Davis, Daryl Washington and O'Brien Schofield, but Haggans isn't dumb, and before I even had a chance to move on, Haggans jumped to a parallel theme, noting, "I'm guessing the next question might be how old we all are, well, I feel fine."
"I could run for days and everyone else is fine, Haggans added. "I just think it's like fine wine. We get better with age."

In the past few months, consumers may have noticed that some popular chain restaurants have started to display calorie and other nutrition information on menus and placards. The reason can be traced to the release by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of its final rules regarding "Nutrition Labeling of Standard Menu Items in Restaurants and Similar Retail Food Establishments" in November 2014. The rules take effect on December 1, 2015 and many food establishments have decided to get a jump on compliance.
FDA's long awaited menu labeling rules implement the nutrition labeling provisions found in section 4205 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (ACA). The ACA, among other things, amends section 403(q) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), by requiring restaurants and similar retail food establishments (i.e. part of a chain with 20 or more locations doing business under the same name and offering for sale substantially the same menu items) to provide calorie and other nutrition information for standard menu items, including food on display and self-service food. Additionally, section 4205 of the ACA provides that a restaurant or similar retail food establishment that is not a chain may elect to be subject to section 4205's nutrition labeling requirements by registering every other year with FDA.
Covered Establishments Under the Menu Labeling Rule
In order to fall within the scope of FDA's new rules, a covered establishment must meet the following criteria: Continue Reading

The hotel is right next to a metro station and a tram station, so travel was fast, cheap and easy. The room was very large for Europe, the bathroom was a good size. It was very clean, they made our beds, replaced our towels and cleaned our room every day. Most staff speak English and other languages. They had a luggage check and were fast to call us a taxis whenever we needed - Anonymous
Very nice and clean room; delicious breakfast (although we had to que toget the table); late access to the swimming pool; not too far from thecity center - metro station nearby. Perfect place to stay!!! - Agnieszka
This hotel is truly bijoux, a little jewel, small but perfect in every detail. The staff were friendly and helpful with info and directions. The attention to detail in the decor is truly outstanding, (down to co-ordinated electrical outlets inside the wardrobes). Breakfast was basic but tasty; the lady looking after the breakfast room kept the area spotless. I didn't have time to try the hammam. - Anonymous
- Very quiet and clean in a good and safe area of Paris. Close to the subway. We had breakfast even if it wasn't included in the price. The host was also fantastic very easy to deal with for the check in and check out he even took our luggage upstair !! :) The studio was a bit tiny but very well arranged and very clean.
The host even offered us a free cruise on a tour boat on the Seine. I definitely will recommend this studio to my friend - Anonymous
The price, the location. - Anonymous
The staff was extremely helpful at all times - they even arranged a last minute ride to the airport for us due to a transit strike - Thomas

Lovely hotel and very very convenient for the Porte de Versailles exhibition halls. Nice restaurants nearby also. - Anonymous
The hotel is well placed for transport links to Gare de nord as it is on bus 39 route as well as verty close to the metro station Convention.

The location was good. - Anonymous
close to the show grounds - Anonymous
Superb location: only 50m away from the Metro station; Bakery with delicious baguettes and croissants just on the other side of the street, other stores were also not so far away.

Is there an organic solution to the green worm on my sedums?
My sedums are under attack by a creepy little green worm. When it is not curled up on the sedum leaves, it is eating them! What can I do? Is there an organic solution?
Good news-help is on the way for your stressed young plants! If there are just a few caterpillars, picking them off plants by hand and dropping them into a bucket of soapy water is the best solution. If you don't want to touch the insects (and I understand why), combat caterpillars organically with a product called Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis). This product is a naturally occurring bacterium that disturbs the digestive system of the pest until it dies. You'll need to reapply it after every rain and at least every 7-10 days. You can get quicker results by using an insecticide such as carbaryl (Sevin). If you spray only the caterpillars, you will limit harming nearby plants. Both products should be available at your local garden center.

We make donations work hard for the kids who need it the most.
Perspective: Cascade County is in Crisis
In just 5 years the increase in the number of child abuse and neglect cases:
- 72% Cascade County
- 48% Yellowstone County (the most populous county of MT)
- 31% State of MT average
Make the commitment today to be the voice for a child.
A report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds
CASA-CAN sponsors Young Artists
"Feeling safe"
During April 3rd graders in GFPS will show their artistic side as they depict what makes them feel safe. Every child will receive a ribbon for participating and 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons will be awarded in each classroom. The artwork will go home in Wednesday envelopes by the end of April. This is the second year CASA-CAN has sponsored this event.
Join Us to Change Futures
Consider giving a gift of hope. When you make a donation to CASA-CAN you are helping to ensure that a safe, permanent home is a reality rather than a dream for a child who has been hurt at the hands of someone who is supposed to care for him. Whether you can give time or contribute monetarily, you will help support a child's future and contribute to keeping our community whole and healthy.
A one time gift or an automatic monthly or quarterly contribution supports guardians ad litem in their work advocating for children who cannot speak for themselves.
It's safe and easy to give online. And what better gift can you give than to make a donation in memory of a friend or family member? A special someone would be honored to have a part in protecting our children.
If you prefer you can send your contribution to:
325 2nd Ave N
Great Falls MT 59401
However you choose to give, your contribution helps CASA-CAN move closer to providing a guardian ad litem to every child in Cascade County who needs one. You will be a critical part of protecting our children.
Your company may have a matching gift program that will augment your contribution. Inquires can usually be made at the company's benefits office.

Remembering Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou narrates this power documentary revealing the story of a brave group of people who fought Hitler wit the only weapons they had: charcoal, pencil stubs, shreds of paper and memories etched in their minds. These artists took their fate into their own hands to make a compelling statement about the human spirit, enduring against unimaginable odds.
As we mourn the loss of the great poet, writer, and thinker, Maya Angelou, take a look back at some of her great words of wisdom.
Maya Angelou speaks to every person who has been through things that could break them. She proves that you can rise above. We remember her words and inspirational work.
On Tuesday, legendary writer Maya Angelou died at age 86. One of the most famous African American writers to emerge in the 20th century, Angelou was a poet, playwright, and great orator. WSJ's Lee Hawkins reflects on her life and legacy.
Dr. Maya Angelou recites a letter she wrote reminding her 15-year-old self to respect your senses, admire art, and the importance of humanity.

Margarete anenome?
In a Sept.7th. "what's blooming" thread, lois from PA wrote:
"Schoolhouse, could your double dark pink anemone be called Margarete? Bluestone sells/sold it, and its the best pink anemone I have grown so far."
I promised to post a pic as soon as it bloomed. Does this look like Margarete? Sometimes the pink appears a little darker than in the photo.
Actually that looks more like one called "king Henry".
Here is a link that might be useful: King Henry anemone
lois - that sure looks like my anemone doesn't it? I think it is! Since it's been so many years, I don't remember the name on the plant tag; but seems like I would have noticed "King Henry". Sometime I'll have to ask the nursery where I probably bought it because the majority of my anemones came from there. Thank you so much. I will write down "King Henry" in my plant tag album so I will remember it.

What are some things that can be done to create a nice creamy head that doesn't dissapear after a few sips. I've heard that steeping a cup of oatmeal will help. Any other suggestions?
Adjuncts certainly contribute different mouthfeels, but I don't really believe in them for head retention. Check out this article:http://www.byo.com/departments/1410.html
The steeping grains (assuming you are an extract brewer like me), in addition to infusing color, will also leave behind proteins that will aid in head retention. If you have not used them, try them. Also, over time, head retention will almost always improve, and the size of the bubbles will diminish.
I use CaraPils for a creamier head as in my stouts, porters, and weizens. What you say? Wheat AND CaraPils.....oh yeah!
A much more experienced brewer told me never to use dish soap to wash your brewing equipment.
Anything that adds thickness or mouthfeel to the beer will help the head a little bit. Licorice is the only thing that I know of that is specifically used to help Head retention. That Heading Powder is probably powdered licorice.
But the more steeped specialty grains you use the better head retention is. More proteins? I cannot be for sure, but it sounds plausable. Proteins would make the beer thicker and thickness corresponds directly to head retention..
Dougjones: the AHS heading powder is corn sugar and gum arabic.
Here's why:"Gum arabic reduces the surface tension of liquids, which leads to increased fizzing in carbonated beverages. This is known as a Mentos eruption and can be seen in The Diet Coke & Mentos Experiments."
Sounds like it will make a short lasting head if it reduces surface tension. That would not be what I want. I bet the beer goes flat in a short period of time also.

This Guidance Document is addressed to those who are involved in risk assessment and management of chemicals called POPs (persistent organic pollutants) or PBTs (persistent and bio-accumulating toxics). It is about using multimedia models, i.e. generic evaluative models that can calculate overall environmental persistence (Pov) and potential for long-range transport (LTRP) covering multiple compartments such as air, water, sediment
This OECD Emission Scenario Document (ESD) is intended to provide information on the sources, use patterns and release pathways of chemicals used in the treatment of water in a number of areas to assist in the estimation of releases of chemicals to the environment.
This document is a complement to the Guidance Document on Emission Scenario Documents (OECD Series of Emission Scenario Documents No 1) by focusing emission during service-life of articles. This document was developed by Sweden and reviewed by the OECD Task Force on Environmental Exposure Assessment.
Publications on Chemicals Exposure Assessment
This document is a report of the expert consultation held on 20 October 2010 with the aim to evaluate a set of structural alerts for estimating covalent binding of chemicals with proteins. This consultation was held based on a key recommendation from the OECD Workshop on Structural Alerts for the OECD (Q)SAR Application Toolbox held in May 2008 [see ENV/JM/MONO(2009)4]. The resulting set of alerts will be implemented in version 2.0 of

Within the OECD Cooperative Chemicals Assessment Programme, sponsors (countries or companies) assess and review industrial chemicals, which can include high production volume (HPV) or non-HPV, existing or new chemicals. Biocides, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and food additives are generally not covered in these activities or are assessed in other OECD programmes.
A 1991 Council Decision resulted in the initiation of cooperatively assessing hazard and exposure of high production volume (HPV) chemicals using the Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) at OECD. In 1998, to coordinate with the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) initiative, OECD and member countries began to focus on initial hazard assessments of HPV chemicals to increase transparency, efficiency and productivity,

Flexible work arrangements

Biotech industry with a focus on Technology
Diverse set of clients within the industry
Project manager job is a complete grind
The work amounts to customer service a 2nd tier technical support
Actual project management is a relatively small part of the job
Stop with the band aids and look at organizational and process change. This is no longer a small company. The turnover here is way to high for a company in a good industry, that pays competitive thought not great salaries. The workload is uneven and most of the time unbearable, largely do to the poor distribution of work, the burdensome SOPs and the lack of ability to resource work effectively.

Interesting work, opportunities to travel, budget and time allocated for staff to attend conferences, nice colleagues (aside from management), great support staffCons
Long hours, frequent cycles of staff turnover, lack of training for new hires, upper management without experience in management, lack of mentoring, unfairness in promotions - lack of consistency in promotions, emotionally unstable research leaders who curse at staff and send derogatory emails to the teams. Poor communication from senior management. Less generous benefits since MEDCO acquisition. Unrealistic utilization rates given work responsibilities.Advice to ManagementAdvice

"Unrealistic deadlines, Project Managers who promise the world only to disappoint clients "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at United BioSourcePros
Always something to do. Boredom is not part of my vocabulary here. Salary was above my expectations when hired. Nice bonus. Flexible hours. Telecommute options. Most coworkers are enjoyable to work with.Cons
Resourcing is horrible. Project deadlines unattainable. Excess work means working weekends, holidays and even having to cancel vacations. Project Managers and Senior Management become wicked mean when deadlines are not met. When projects do not meet deadlines, Senior Management begin pulling things out of their blame bags which includes: you did not work past 8 PM on a Friday, the vacation they so graciously allowed you to take should have motivated you to get the project done by deadline, you should have worked the holiday. Their list is endless and is used in resourcing meetings to declare their innocense of taking on such work. When any of this is mentioned in one on one meetings (meaning between yourself and Senior Management), they indicate they have no choice but to take the work even if it means it will not get done. It is an endless, vicious cycle of personel making utopian promises if just to impress the person requesting the work. They have resorted to micro-managing time by requesting work detail down to the hour. Were expected to report this in so many different places, you wonder if you need your own secretary. We have a spreadsheet we must update detailing our time allocated to the project, we have a timesheet we must complete containing hours worked, we have status reports to fill out to give to clueless upper management. This shows that they really do not have ahold of their processes. I appreciate it as a work in progress and hope they get their act together. Many have left the company or have been fired due to the resourcing issues.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I certainly hope you are aware of these issues and are committed to finding a balance between client satisfaction and realistic deadlines. Quality has been the companies greatest asset as of recent and that should be worked within the selling model along with increased time allocation. Most rational people can appreciate longer project timelines given the promise of quality.Doesn't RecommendNo opinion of CEO

Villa Rosa reviews

- Venere Guest
- Family with young children
- Greece
We stayed at this apartment with my family (2 children 8 and 11 y.o.) for three nights. The apartment was sunny with big terrace, spacy rooms, all necessary kitchenware, plus all equipment for a comfortable stay. It was very quite and the most important very clean. Plus, that you have all the other facilities like free wifi internet, sat and cable tv, laundry machine, dishwasher, etc. The access to the historic center it was easy with the bus (the bus stop was a few meters from the building) or with car (10 minutes). There are few free parking spaces for the guests.Close to the building you could find supermarket, restaurants, pizza etc. We found this place through venere with a discount of 52% which was probably the cheapest vacations that I ever had for a such good property. I would recommend this property for any guest.

The interesting thing about all of this is that Chan seems to equate the bad humor of the Rush Hour movies with American taste, in general, as if we're a nation of people who think Rush Hour is the bar by which good taste is measured. He uses the word 'American' over and over again, when pinpointing the flaws of his various projects. Of his upcoming movie, The Forbidden Kingdom, with Jet Li, he tells us -- at least it's in advance, this time -- that the movie is no good. Why? It's "a movie made for Americans." I can't wait for the press junket for that one ...
Jackie Chan: Thanks for Watching My Movies, American Suckers
Aging martial artist Jackie Chan apparently keeps a blog, and has written the following on it, according to the AP: he's fully aware that Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2 and Rush Hour 3 all sucked. He knew they were crap when he made them, and he knows it now. (I think Richard Corliss of Time Magazine is now the last remaining person on Earth who doesn't know it -- he gave Rush Hour 3 a glowing review.) Of the first Rush Hour, Chan says "When we finished filming, I felt very disappointed because it was a movie I didn't appreciate and I did not like the action scenes involved. I felt the style of action was too Americanized and I didn't understand the American humor." Okay ... thanks for sharing. So why did he return for more of the same, after such a negative experience? Because, he says, he was offered an "irresistible" sum of money. He doesn't even bother giving a reason for the third one, apparently.

Profit was one of the best and one of the darkest shows to ever grace television.
Both the short-lived nature of this series and the extra commentary included here make this DVD set a rare gem; highly recommended.
As is all-too often the case, a network refused to stand behind a show and give it the necessary time to find an audience.
