And it is official!
I am sticking stricktly to the hockey boards from now on. The baseball, basteball and football forums are just too full of idiots. You cant say anything about anyone or anything without getting your throat ripped out. Today i was told i know nothing about baseball because i have a cricket player as my av. Ok? Way to base that opinion of me on nothing. Ugh what a bunch of idiots.
I wish people would get lives and stop just posting to insult everyone else.

why i root for certain teams
Well lately a few of my posts have been crushed and dismissed because people assume i am a bandwagon fan. So i figured maybe i would try to explain how i became a fan of the teams i root for. We will start out with the one that seems most out of place.
I root for the Atlanta Braves. I live in michigan. doesnt make sense right? Well when i was 7 or so my little league team was called... you guessed it... the braves. immediately i started following baseball with my dads help. He asked who i liked most it was Atlanta. And for a brief period when i was 9 it was a little bit of the expo's because of their cool colored unis. But now i have realized my mistake and i am 100% braves.
The next team is the packers. This one is easy. I was born and raised in the UP. The UP is not lions country. It is packer country. My friends liked the packers so i liked the packers. As i grew older and learned of their history i liked them more and more. Now i try to make it across the lake every year for a game. We will see if it works out this year.
The Red wings. again i was born in the UP during the Red Wing/ north stars rivalry. Stevie Y was my hero growing up playing hockey. The red wings are by far my favorite team and its also the forum i visit most often.
The pistons i havent followed very closely since grant hill left the team. I liked the pistons mostly because i never liked jordan. Who beat him early in his career? Yep.. the pistons. Now... i dont really care about the NBA.
Finally UM. I follow michigan because my grandparents met there and its all they talked about all through my childhood. So it is the team i paid attention to. I graduated from central michigan and i would put them as my favorite because i follow the team closer than i do UM but there arent many CMU fans to talk to on CBS.
So there you have it.

You're Killing me CBS
How in the world does my value score go from 95 to 38 then after last night 27?!? Every post of mine gets a score of 80-120 regularly. Do i have someone rating all my posts as a 1? I dont get it. At this rate i might as well give up on being a superstar. I just want to post on game glogs. Thats all i really care about. Blah.
Go Red Wings. Braves. Pistons. Packers. University of Central Michigan Chippewas. Go whole state of Michigan.

Day Two:
Well my rep went up a whole point overnight after i started this thing so i suppose thats good news. On to the days sports.
UM mens basketball lost to Illinois. The Illini have a good squad this year. What made the win even more impressive is they were without their team "leader". Hopefully Michigan has done enough to go dancing.
MSU beat up on Minnesota. No suprises there. MSU is a lock for a 2 seed and a dark horse for a 1. Depends on how the dice fall for that 1 seed. NC will have to lose big tomorrow in the ACC tourney i think as will louisville.
UM mens hockey beat WMU today to take a 1-0 series lead over WMU in a best of 3. I see UM getting to the frozen four this year. If they get a 1 seed in the NCAAs they are almost a lock.
The pistons won in OT tonight also. HUGE block by Maxiell to cover his butt for not boxing out in the final seconds. Nail biter there. The whole are we better without AI debate... yeah i have no idea. AI is an insane talent but destroys teams and i dont think people play as hard when he is out there. I would rather he never come to detroit but hey, you have to make it work somehow. Curry seems to be a bit shell shocked this year when it comes to being a HC. We will see if Detroit can improve their playoff seeding. You dont want to be a 7 or 8 seed this year! Too much power at the top.
Red Wings play a dreaded saturday game. They have not gone well the past few saturdays. I have the day off so i get to watch and see what happens. Hossa should be back. I dont know what that will do to shore up the seive that our D/goaltending has bcome.
Drive safe everyone!

Day one: A young man's quest...
To regain his Superstar status! Haha.
Now i know 90% of the CBSsports site is up in arms about the new policies being implemented. To be honest i didnt much care. Until i was dropped to AS status due to my value plummeting. Why did it die by 65 points? Who knows. I dont care. I just know if i start a blog maybe the rating will improve. At the same time i might be able to waste some valuable time at work. The casino business is far less exciting than you would think.
Tonight i am keeping an eye on the Red Wings game. 28 shots in the first period for detroit and only 2 goals. Why were there 28 shots you may ask. That would be due to the 7 penaties taken by the flames. 3 of which were majors. That shotting % has to improve guys.
Another note. Good job Michigan mens BBall team. Beat Iowa. Woooooo.
MSU looks very strong going into the big dance. Look for them to make alot of noise they have a solid group.
Michigan Ice hockey plays western this weekend. WMU could give the wolverines some trouble but i dont expect an upset.
Oh how could i forget. UM got a verbal commitment from the top QB in the state for 2010. Interesting how everyone thought MSU would dominate in state recruiting from here on out. Let the battle begin!
Drive safe everyone!

Is There An Easy Way To
Is there an easy way to tell a Rio Red from a Star Ruby grapefruit? I am not sure what I have. I thought Rio Red, but now I am not sure. No tag(s) on the tree. Was purchased originally by someone else. I have looked at the Citrus ID site. But still confused. Thanks.
Star Ruby grapefruit is "seedless" (meaning it will have 6 seed or less). The fruit has a large open core area, and the albedo is bright pink, plus the there is a definite strong blushing on the peel. Depending on how old and large your tree is some leaves on the tree will have pale yellow to white patches on them resembling herbicide damage.
Rio Red grapefruit has very red flesh,but the size of the ruit is fairly small.
The tree was planted about 2 and 1/2 years ago. It was 6-7 feet tall when planted. About 9-10 feet tall now. Is Ruby Red the same thing as Rio Red? This was the 2nd season for fruit production.
The fruit has few seeds, definitely less than 6 average. Light pink color to the flesh. The peel is fairly yellow with an occasional blush spot. The largest fruit are4-5 inches in diameter.
Ruby Red and Rio Red are different cultivars. Ruby Red is really "Redblush", and it is truly a "Texas grapefruit", requiring a large number of heat units to develop. You rarely see this cultivar in S. California, although it probably would do well out in the Cochella Valley. I imagine it may do okay in AZ, too, if your growing season is long enough. We here at the coast do not have enough heat units to get Ruby Red to really sweeten up as much as Rio Red will. Rio Red is a sport of Redblush. Here are the links to both cultivars , so you can see if this helps you to ID your tree:
Rio Red is probably the only pink or red true grapefruit that has a chance of getting sweet enough for us here at the coast. We actually do better with pummelo/grapefruit hybrids, such as Melogold or Oroblanco, which is what you mainly see in my area, but Rio Red for those that must have something pink colored :-) As in, my husband. I don't like them - too tart for my liking. Love my Oroblancos and Melogolds, though.

Your favorite hybrid musk
Since we ran a "favorite HT" and a "favorite Austin," I think now we should try "favorite hybrid musk."
There are fewer candidates in this category, so let's say, what is your ONE favorite hybrid musk--with an honorable mention allowed if you must list a second one or burst! : )
My ONE favorite hybrid musk: Buff Beauty--a real show-stopper when it blooms in the spring, and reasonably decent on rebloom and reasonably decent bs-resistance most of the time.
Let's see your favorite. I plan on learning a lot about hybrid musks from this thread. : )
Hybrid Musks are probably my top class of shrub rose (after species) and especially Louis Lens many lovely creations. True, he has a tendency to overuse Ballerina but his roses are a perfect fit in my allotment (settling into an untidy but generous strip of chaotic fruit and veggies).
Kate, I also have Buff Beauty but mine is a pale imitation of your lovely plant. However, Jacqueline Humery (although I could have picked half a dozen) has proved an indomitable rose despite being mugged and shaded by more vigorous hooligans (helenae, Aimee Vibert) along with gigantic foxgloves. Jacqueline has been utterly healthy, startling in its purity, enthusiastic in its rebloom and unfazed by bad behaviour on my part (various supports have fallen on it, I have stepped on it, vicious digging practically on top of it).
A modest but charming rose, just good enough to squeeze Moonlight off top spot (you see what I am sneakily doing here).
My favorite is Robin Hood. It was the rose that opened my eyes to the huge world of vintage and antique roses. After numerous failed attempts at growing the hybrid teas I picked up at the local nurseries, I'd given up on roses. Eventually I came across a specimen, of what I eventually identified as Robin Hood, growing in my neighbors yard. she'd had it for decades, and allowed me to take cuttings. They rooted very easily. In my yard, it is 100% disease free with no spraying, in mostly shade. It has a huge spring flush, and a lovely spicy fragrance. Due to being in so much shade, I don't get much repeat out of it, but I plan on rooting some new ones in sunnier locations. People always admire this rose in bloom and I've rooted and given away many of them to friends and family. Partly for sentimental reasons, but also deservedly so, this is my favorite hybrid musk.
Lyda Rose has been great for me. I have 2 growing in semi-shade (less than 5 hours of sun). At just under 2 years old they are totally disease free, require little care and bloom frequently. Lyda has a great fragrance too.
I also grow Lupe's Buttons, New Face and Darlow's Enigma.
I love Bubble Bath. It really does have the scent of what i remember of Bubble Bath. It arches, and grows right into my SDLM and Duchesse de Brabant.
Lynnette, what a beautiful plant. I wish you'd post more pictures of your garden, if this one is any indication.
Sammy, the combination of those three roses sounds wonderful. Pictures next spring, please?
Monarda, Cornelia and Kathleen are great choices. Hope to see them in bloom.
I'm realizing once again that hybrid musks seems to be order-made for more humid and rainy, and also overall cooler climates. Not strange considering where most of them were bred.
THis is a great thread. I forgot about Penelope. I have 4 of them, and they are beautiful. They bloom much of the time, and are very pretty. In the spring they tend to have more color than in the summer when they look white.
I am also going to get another Ballerina. I did not understand how to remove old wood, and mine just faded away. Now I know more about pruning.
I have about 30 HMs and really no favorites. But I am very partial to Robin Hood because he does fabulously in the shade. Many of mine were wiped out by RRD. They seem to be esp susceptible to it, as they have strong multiflora in their genes. I've replaced them, but most are still small. Three years ago I planted the Lens musicians in a little grove and this coming spring they should be large enough to put on a proper symphony.
Mine are young so I don't have any personal photos but of course there are tons on HMF. Felicia was a real beauty for me this summer. Never without bloom and full of wafting beautiful fragrance. I love this rose. Nothing really special about her just easy and pretty.
Nur Mahal I really love. She came late this summer but put on several feet of cane like a climber...thin and lax. No disease.
Francesca came late in the season too. (Like October) so I haven't seen her bloom but I love the unusual shape I've seen in photos.
Same with Buff Beauty.
For spring I have Lens' Verdi coming (one of the roses Catsrose mentioned in her symphonic grove).
And after the raves on Robin Hood I may have to order that one as well.
I really enjoy HMs and Noisettes (and teas, and chinas and polys).
My favorites change every day!
Those of you with larger collections of hybrid musks really need to take pics next spring and show them off to the rest of use. I'd love to see the bushes actually growing in the ground.
I'm talking to you, poorbutroserich and catsrose. Your eager public awaits. : )
Very happy to see this thread on Hybrid Musks. I really like the plant habit of these roses. Graceful arching plants. Wish I had room for more of them.
I only grow one, and it is Nur Mahal, which is a stellar performer for me. Rock solid. Absolutely no disease at all, ever. Blooms it's head off. And no thorns at all.
One that I admire locally in another garden is Cornelia. Beautiful plant.
Kate, your Buff Beauty is a stunner.
I'm a great admirer of the Pemberton Hybrid Musks, don't know the others so well. Just one? Oh, really....
Well, then, 'Cornelia' by a whisker, followed immediately by 'Francesca' and 'Pax', and a short head after come 'Felicia' (fragrance) and 'Vanity' and 'Penelope'; 'Buff Beauty' I've never grown well enough to fall solidly in love with it, ditto for 'Nur Mahal'; 'Kathleen' I also grow poorly, but what a beauty, and the same is true for 'Daybreak'. I think they'd all be in first position if I grew them well.
Di, if you go to HMF and search Lens roses I believe he has some smaller ones. My Verdi is not yet here but I bought it based on HMF estimate of smaller size. If it does stay reasonably small, I will likely purchase other Lens if I can find them (doesn't seem many are offered in the US). As far as I know the Pembertons are large although as Chris said, Daphne seems smaller...
HMF is a great resource.
And yes, I will sure post photos. What gorgeous roses HMs are.
I only grow Ballerina, but love the masses of blooms she produces, as do neighbors walking by. They often don't what exactly Ballerina is because she doesn't remotely resemble any rose they're familiar with. I think one favorite shown here must be Buff Beauty. Kate's photos of this rose have convinced me, though I think every photo in this thread is lovely. I'd try them all if I had any more space.
Sammy, you mentioned learning how to prune Ballerina properly. Could you tell me what the secret to this is? I don't do too much pruning on my Ballerina because I simply don't know what to do. Thanks. Diane
Lynette, that New Face is absolutely GORGEOUS. I'm so glad you're sharing the cuttings and I'll be in line to buy it when it's available!
I agree with Odinthor that Wilhelm is my favorite hybrid musk, and I grow about 15 different HMs. Wilhelm is never out of bloom, and it makes a dramatic dark statement in my partial shade area where most of the other hybrid musks and shade tolerant roses are much lighter shades. Here's a closeup from spring just getting started, with Felicia at his feet .
My second favorite is one I got from Cliff's mother plant sale, and it has been a nonstop bloomer - Petite de Terre Franche. I don't hear about it in other places, and I suspect it's not widely for sale, but it spills beautifully around the shade bed and has a graceful effect all summer. Here it is (white one at center) with Heavenly Pink at its feet, Cornelia to its left, Darlow's Enigma at the back left, and Wilhelm making his statement in back to the right. Hybrid Musks are perfect for my kind of "rose chaos".
I'd pick Felicia for most beautiful individual bloom among the hybrid musks, but Kate said we had to stop at two (smile).
Omi Oswald, a very little known HM. Pale yellow flowers. My plant is still fairly young, but it's been blooming all month, including today. Flowers are loved by bees (just missed a few when I snapped the shots) and by me! Unusual little pompoms in the middle of the stamens, sort of gives a hibiscus look. Drought tolerant, though does shutdown blooming in the worst of summer heat. Sets pretty hips. Shape is kind of a bushy, arching mound. Very healthy.
Honorable mention to Excellenz von Schubert. Gorgeous very fragrant lavendery mauve flowers, blooms in big sprays, healthy, easy care (likes neglect, yay!).
Cynthia, that grouping of hybrid musks is drop-dead gorgeous. Your garden is really something. Next spring I'm going to be waiting for a long thread with lots of pictures of your plant groupings.
Omi Oswald is a delicately beautiful rose, really lovely with those yellow stamens.
Cornelia for pink Hybrid Musks
Callisto among the yellow,
both are the most fragrant of all among their color and class, to my nose anyhoo. and Pax among the whites.
I wish that Musk (R. moschata) hybrids were as easy to find as Hybrid Musks.
The last words the late and great Miriam Wilkins said to me were "you should come see the Menja in my garden."
I really like your photo of the Omi Oswald. It's very charming and interesting, too, that the little buds are pink as well as the expiring petals, while the flower itself appears white. Love the pom poms.
I think I might try this one out in my garden.

text: Children's Literature - Enid Portnoy Here is a story filled with imaginative black-and-white drawings of real kids with eating preferences and problems in the school cafeteria. Imagine that hot tray atmosphere of pizza, and more pizza versus anything green or orange, which might be called healthy! The book is part of an alphabetical series of "Aldo Zelnick Comic Novels," filled with laughter and creative ideas. Fans of the "Wimpy Kid" or "Amelia's Notebook" series will welcome Finicky as a glorified comic tale with 160 pages of fun. From the first page of gallery photos of Aldo and his family and friends, readers will begin to identify with Aldo's strong feelings about change in the school environment, particularly menu revisions for the cafeteria at Dania Elementary. Read all about what may change, and chuckle all the way through the funny sketches and clever ideas. If any words are confusing, refer to Oceanak's extensive "Word Gallery" for meanings. This is all about food—or is it? Teachers and staff offer advice about what to eat and why, but it is a definite "hard sell" for Aldo and his friends to accept. To them the changes are unjust and it is impossible to think that Mondays would not always mean pizza and more pizza available. Readers will read about foodies and survival eaters, and learn plenty of new and "dangerous" things the teachers tell Aldo is good for him to make his body "smile." Read about how Aldo slowly changes his mind; maybe it has something to do with how good the food can taste, especially if you are VERY hungry. The book is full of surprises, with extra things added to capture and keep a reader's attention. There are plenty of new food definitions, and drawings of interesting looking foods, with recipes provided. There is even a neighborhood map so readers can see how Aldo and his friends get back and forth to school, and details about future Aldo Zelnick books, with preview chapters to examine. Fans will appreciate details of an Aldo Zelnik fan club they can join for free. This is the sixth novel for author Oceanak, and it is sure to tickle a young reader's funny bone. Eating in a school cafeteria may never be the same! Reviewer: Enid Portnoy; Ages 7 to 12.

Tracey_Oh, If You're Still On Here
I just tried your Chocolate Ice cream recipe using SCM. I might have put in a tad more of the cocoa, used just 1 c. cream instead of two and increased the milk from 1 c. to 2 c.. If it's half as good when it comes out of my freezer as it tasted straight out of the ice cream maker, I will definitely be a very happy camper. Thank you for posting the SCM recipes for ice cream back in May of 2011.
Madonna, you are quite welcome! I hope you enjoy the finished product! It's my go-to recipe for chocolate ice cream. Funny, I was just thinking tonight about trying to get some farm stand peaches tomorrow for peach ice cream. Love summer time and homemade ice cream:)
So easy!
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c. cocoa powder
2 c. cream
1 c. milk
1 T. vanilla extract
Combine the SCM and the cocoa then add in the other ingredients. Freeze in an ice cream maker.
I used just 1 c. cream and 2 c. milk and it is so delicious. I like it better than any commercial chocolate ice cream I've bought.
Vanilla Ice Cream
1 c. cream
1 c. milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients then freeze in an ice cream maker.
Tracey said she found this vanilla ice cream a little sweet which is not a problem, but add in another cup of milk or cream or a combination if you like it a little less sweet.
Lemon Ice Cream (Tracey "warning: a bit tart")
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 c. cream
1 c. milk
1 T. lemon zest
2/3 c. lemon juice
1/8 tsp. salt
Combine all ingredients then freeze in an ice cream freezer.
Gee, I've got fresh peaches, bing cherries, lemons and oranges. What will I try next? Bet that "a bit tart" lemon ice cream would be good on a hot day like today.
That sounds wonderful and there's no need to make and cool the custard mixture prior to freezing? The grands were here on Sunday and wanted to make ice cream. There wasn't enough time to do all of the steps before they would have had to leave. I'll pick up some SCM mix with some dark cocoa powder and give this recipe a try!
Compumom, I am a chocoholic. I used regular Hershey Cocoa and it was fantastic. Didn't get super hard, either. I'm going to try the vanilla next with some add-ins. And it only takes 20 minutes in my machine for a little less than soft serve. I'm so excited that I'll be able to make my own ice cream while we travel this winter. I have a double door fridge with a double door freezer in the RV so I'll have plenty of room for extra bowls of ice cream. I'd better make sure I take my bike so I don't wind up as big as a whale.

Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays series primer
APR 04, 2014 12:00p ET
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A .500 record is a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty existence and, even this early, the Tampa Bay Rays should feel pumped. No reason for sweat. No reason to scramble.
Life is all right.
The two victories over the Toronto Blue Jays were breathe-easy affairs. Try a combined score of 16-4. The two losses: A combined tally of 7-2.
"I'm here to tell you, we played well," Rays manager Joe Maddon said Thursday, after his team's 7-2 victory. "The hits fell in for us tonight. As long as you play good baseball and adhere to what you believe are the right things to do, you're going to be OK."
The hitting was consistent, which is a good hint that runs will come in bunches. The Rays finished with 33 runs, which places them in a three-way tie for third place in the American League in the category, behind the Seattle Mariners' 40 and the Chicago White Sox's 35. Not a bad first stride to start this marathon.
Versatility? The Rays have it in their production. All players with at least seven at-bats earned a hit, except for catcher Jose Molina, who went 0 for 7 in two games. Seven players produced an RBI, led by Evan Longoria's four.
Defense? The starts by right-hander Alex Cobb and left-hander Matt Moore left something to be desired, after allowing a combined six earned runs and 11 hits. But left-hander David Price and right-hander Chris Archer, fresh off signing his $25.5 million deal, were both solid and collected. Cobb, in particular, should find his form soon.
So it's early, but a split against the Blue Jays is no reason to push the bright red panic button. Now come the Texas Rangers to Tropicana Field, a three-day stay that will include right-hander Yu Darvish's season debut Sunday.
"The fact that we put ourselves in a 1-2 position in the fourth game, I'm ecstatic about 2-2," Maddon said. "Even though we did lose, we've been playing well the whole time. That's what I look at. If you're playing poorly and losing, that's one thing. ... We were playing well. We just weren't getting hits."
Here's a look at the upcoming Rays-Rangers series:
April 4 (Sun Sports -- pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m.)
Joe Saunders (0-0, 0-0 ERA) vs. Jake Odorizzi (0-0, 0.00 ERA)
April 5 (Sun Sports -- pregame coverage begins at 6:30 p.m.)
Nick Martinez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. David Price (1-0, 2.45 ERA)
April 6 (Sun Sports -- pregame coverage begins at 1:00 p.m.)
Yu Darvish (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Alex Cobb (0-1, 7.20 ERA)
April 4 -- Tampa Bay Times Ticket Tandem -- Rays Wall Banner
April 5 -- Wil Myers Rookie of the Year Bobblehead
April 6 -- Desmond Jennings Baseball Buddy
Leonys Martin (Texas Rangers): He went 5 for 11 with four RBI and two walks against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday through Wednesday. He had a pair of multi-hit games in the series, with two hits each on Monday and Wednesday.
Evan Longoria (Tampa Bay Rays): He leads the Rays with four RBI, after going 6 for 15 with a home run in the series against Toronto. He earned a hit during each game in the four-game set, including a pair on Monday and Thursday.
Prince Fielder (Texas Rangers): He went 2 for 12 with three strikeouts in the series against the Phillies. He was held to a single hit on both Monday and Tuesday.
Yunel Escobar (Tampa Bay Rays): He went 2 for 13 against Toronto with five strikeouts. The strikeouts are tied for a team-worst total with Wil Myers.
163: Number of career home runs for Longoria after a three-run homer to left field in the Rays' victory over the Blue Jays on Thursday. He's tied with Carlos Pena for the most in franchise history. Longoria's home run Thursday was his first of the season.
19-0-2: Series record for the Rays in the Blue Jays' last 21 road sets with Tampa Bay. Toronto hasn't won a road series with Tampa Bay since April 6-8, 2007. The Blue Jays' victory Wednesday marked just their second consecutive victory over the Rays on the road since 2008.
18: Amount of runs the Rays produced in their series against Toronto. The total places them fourth in the American League, behind the Seattle Mariners (28), Chicago White Sox (21) and Minnesota Twins (19).
"It feels good to go out and get the ball rolling in the right direction." -- Price after he allowed two runs, six hits and struck out six in a 9-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. The performance took place before a crowd of 31,042, which was the Rays' ninth consecutive sellout for a home opener.
"For the most part their offense was centered around one guy. He can do that kind of stuff." -- Maddon after Blue Jays right-fielder Jose Bautista smacked two home runs in Toronto's 3-0 victory Wednesday. It was Bautista's 22nd multi-homer game.
"Having it or not having a contract or money, it didn't affect me because it's never been a thought in my mind when I was in between the lines." -- Archer after he allowed two runs, four hits and struck out seven in six innings during the Rays' victory Thursday. He pitched for the first time since signing an eight-year deal Wednesday worth a possible $43.75 million, with the first six years and $25.5 million guaranteed.

QB Ryan Fitzpatrick - New York Jets
|6-2, 221
|Born: 11-24-1982
|College: Harvard
|Drafted: Round 7
Main Career stats Game Logs Game Recaps Split Stats Play-by-play Latest News
Week 21: bye week
Latest NewsJets | Geno Smith to enter camp as starter (Tue Mar 24, 01:19 PM) - New York Jets QB Geno Smith will be the starting quarterback ahead of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick entering training camp this summer, according to new head coach Todd Bowles. 'You can't have equal first-team reps with a quarterback,' Bowles said. 'Geno will start out taking them, but that doesn't mean that Ryan can't take his spot. If Ryan's playing better and performing better�' Bowles continues to say that it's too early to judge Smith off his tape alone. Our View: Smith ended the season on a hot streak with a big game against the Dolphins in Week 17. New Jets offensive coordinator Chan Gailey should be able to craft an offense that works towards Smith's strengths as a passer.
link to story Jets | NYJ comfortable with QBs (Thu Mar 19, 03:36 PM) - New York Jets QBs Ryan Fitzpatrick and Geno Smith are expected to compete for the starting job during training camp, and general manager Mike Maccagnan said the team is comfortable with them as their top two quarterbacks. Our View: They sort of have to be since there are no better options available in free agency and they could miss out on one of the top two quarterbacks in the draft - both of whom carry risk anyway. Fitzgerald is a decent short-term option while Smith has shown he can win a lot - at the end of a season. Unfortunately for the Jets, so far he plays badly enough early that winning at the end doesn't mean anything. We'll see if new OC Chan Gailey can light a spark.
link to story Jets | Ryan Fitzpatrick will be ready for camp (Thu Mar 19, 11:12 AM) - New York Jets QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (leg) will be limited during offseason workouts but will be ready for the start of training camp, according to general manager Mike Maccagnan. Our View: That's good, and as he knows Chan Gailey's offense well, it shouldn't be a big deal. He's not the long-term answer for the Jets but he could stand in for Marcus Mariota or another rookie quarterback while that guy gets his feet wet.

It's people like YOU that lose games for poor poor solo-QQers.
I generally call mia if I'm in an outside lane because the missing champ could be anywhere. If my teammates are worth anything, they'll take it as a "be careful, you might have another champion stomping on your face at any moment." If I notice an mia of a champ who I hadn't recently wounded to the point of death and the mid guy is half-low hp, I usually warn him/her directly.
If I'm midding and I spot the enemy champ leaving lane, I ping and warn ("care bot" or "care t.")
Oh, and I also state "priority warning" at the start of the game. I don't expect my team to call EVERY mia, but if there's a WW, a XZ, a Jax, or any stealther/assassin on the field, I expect it to be called any time the champ isn't even in sight, because if I'm playing a slow caster like Fiddles or Anivia, I want to know I shouldn't get reckless with my pushes unless I want a painful boot to the face.
Jenova Project
Premading and using vent = the solution
Do you have any mathematical backing to justify a trail of pings being 200% more effective. 100% sure, but 200%? Come on, dont be silly...
The system I generally use is call MIA if you don't see an enemy champion, ping if you definitely know the general area of an enemy champion or where the enemy champion is going. If the enemy champion isn't dying and he disappears, I usually tell my teammates to be careful or to fall back after calling the MIA.
this thread proves OP wrong and that OP is bad

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) — Seeking crucial help for a key Middle Eastern ally, President Barack Obama announced late Friday that he will ask Congress to approve a new round of financial aid for Jordan, which is struggling to manage the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the civil war in Syria.
Jordan is a key Arab ally and stabilizing force in a region where tensions run hot. Its fragile economy is being stretched thin by the substantial costs of accommodating refugees from next-door Syria. Nearly 600,000 Syrians, about one-tenth of the Jordanian population, have crossed the border and sought refuge in Jordan.
The U.S. Agency for International Development has estimated that it will cost the government of King Abdullah II about $900 million to host the refugees this year alone.
Obama said he will seek $1 billion in loan guarantees for Jordan, using the full faith and credit of the United States to help make it easier for Jordan to borrow money. The new guarantee would be on top of a $1.25 billion loan guarantee Congress approved last year, the first one ever for Jordan.
Under a loan guarantee, the U.S. essentially acts like a co-signer on loans and would be responsible for repaying the principal and interest should Jordan default.
Obama also will seek a new, five-year funding agreement for Jordan. Administration officials did not immediately say what level of funding would be sought, saying that detail remained to be worked out. An existing five-year funding agreement with Jordan expires in September.
Both the loan guarantees and the funding agreement require approval from Congress.
Obama said the crisis in Syria requires a political solution that won't come in the short term, but added that unspecified intermediate steps must be taken to further pressure Syrian President Bashar Assad to step aside.

Having risked their lives and souls to capture the fortress of Stormgard, a band of weary soldiers known as the Company witnesses their commander's descent into madness and await the reemergence of their ancient gods.
Listen to more in the Black Company series.
©1997 Glen Cook (P)2010 Audible, Inc.
"Series Killer"
If any book in the Black Company series can drive a fan to quit, it is this one. The constant, disjointed, mind numbing jumps between perspective time periods turns this book into some bastardized choose-your-own-adventure story. Take a regular novel, chop it into a dozen or two pieces, then read those pieces in random order and you've got Bleak Seasons.
The narrator does such a fine job with the voices, I almost pity the man for having to read this assault on listeners minds.
The style of presentation in Bleak Seasons is so dreadful and of no narrative relation to its predecessors that one has to wonder if Glen Cook were in a particularly vile mood when he wrote it and was purposefully trying to kill the series.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

It drew participation from some of the leading developer communities, including BangaloreJS (Bangalore Javascript Community) and Blrdroid (Bangalore Android Developer Group), a release from Apigee stated. Participants designed and shared ideas based on themes '3 Tier App' (an alternative way to create a mobile stack) and Mashup APIs.

Gartner forecast on the 'Internet of Things'
Market research firm Gartner predicts that the Internet of Things (IoT) will grow to 26 billion units installed in 2020 representing an almost 30-fold increase from 0.9 billion in 2009. The Internet of Things is a term used to refer to objects — not phones and PCs — that will be embedded with hardware to enable it to connect to a network.
According to its forecast, IoT product and service suppliers will generate incremental revenue exceeding $300 billion, mostly in services, in 2020. This, according to its release, will result in $1.9 trillion in global economic value-add through sales into diverse end markets. The report also states that by 2020, component costs will have come down to the point that connectivity will become a standard feature, even for processors costing less than $1.
DATAWIND and Xolo releases
This week, two companies announced new products: tablet PC maker DATAWIND launched its PocketSurfer smartphones, and smart devices brand Xolo launched its new Xolo Play Tegra Note, a seven inch Android tablet. DATAWIND's release claims the release will have a disruptive effect in the smartphone market owing to its pricing. The 5-inch screen smartphone is priced at just Rs. 3,499.
Suneet Singh Tuli, CEO of DATAWIND, said: "We're very excited to introduce these amazing new devices at unbelievably low prices. Our primary focus is to bridge the digital divide and deliver an affordable means of accessing the Internet. We want to be form-factor agnostic."
Xolo's Play range of products is powered by a Tegra 4 processor with a 72-core GeForce GPU and quad-core CPU with a fifth battery-saver core, a press release stated. "With the Tegra 4 processor, Xolo brings the fastest 7-inch Android tablet ever for the technically savvy customer," claimed Vishal Sehgal, Co-Founder and Director, LAVA International. Xolo Play Tegra Note is based on NVIDIA's complete tablet platform, which was revealed earlier this year.

And not one puppy raped or murdered, Fox must be suppressing the video…:)
I was reminded of the Reagan days by Romney's eloquence and delivery. Up to this point I was concerned that Romney was not Presidential enough in his prepared delivery; bit this event showed his complete mastery of public presentation. He made Obama look stiff and awkward.
Clearly this is the man for the job. And gee whiz he is a true American without a single Communist or Anarchist as a friend or mentor in his background.
I actually like Obama's lines too. True his delivery sucked compared to Romney's and he had to continuously check his notecards since he didn't have his teleprompters, but the actual lines were pretty funny.
I think my favorite was "I wish i could use my middle name" *sadface*.
Romney was truly hilarious though. "I have my wife, Ann. Obama has Bill Clinton"
Romney's joke writers are good. I'd like to see him guest host the Daily Show.
Nice boomerang dig at Andrew Cuomo.
Wish he'd told the "wine to water" joke after the "designated driver" joke. Not sure anyone jumped to the right conclusion on the first one save his Mormon friends back home. I certainly didn't, but I thought it was hilarious once I got it.

Why are there predictions of 2-0, etc. and then saying the team will win on a shootout?
@Aljosa23 We made new rules for the knockout stages. If games in the knockout stages get decided with penalties, the match is officially counted as a draw. But, since most people aren't gonna predict a draw (because its boring), we made it so that if it comes to penalties, you can also guess who wins those if it came down to it.
@deeliman: I'm sorry I yelled at you. :(
@johnd13 You are forgiven friend ;)
You two are setting me off my mind.I mean ,HOW CAN ANYONE YELL AT ANYONE ELSE IN THE CYBER WORLD ??????
Anyway...Germany 2 Brazil 1.
Bonus : Germans will kick some yellow asses in penalties.
I am going to go:
Brazil 3-2 Germany
Germany on pens if it goes there.
Germany 3 - 2 Brazil
Germany wins pens
13-0 Germany :P
Que for all closet Nazi's to come out of hiding :D
Lol haha our predictions just got raped.
I don't think anyone on Earth could predict such a score.
Believe it or not ,28 people in Iran did.
Iran's national TV has been holding SMS prediction competition for every WC game they broadcast.For each game , people,using their cell phones , simply text the result that they predict to a pre-defined number.The rules of the competition are pretty much the same rules that we're using here( actually I got the idea which I offered for the knockout stage from there ! )
Out of about three million and seven hundred thousand people who took part in the competition tonight ,28 people predicted that Germany would win 7-1. I repeat ,only 28 people out over three million and a half ,predicted 7-1 :O
13-0 Germany :P
lol..Seriously ,you don't really need that " :P " you're avatar fully delivers all the mischievousness that comes with predicting 13-0.
I guess korvus too had mentioned that before, where you had replied to a topic about boobs.
Damn man ,you're avy is so hilarious.I can't help chuckling silently at it.

True, no one gives a shit about America. I think it's cause Brazil have a rich culture and history with beautiful scenery and warm, passionate people etc. America is just a dump no one would miss.
Netherlands 7-1 Argentina

True, no one gives a shit about America. I think it's cause Brazil have a rich culture and history with beautiful scenery and warm, passionate people etc. America is just a dump no one would miss.
Ridiculous. "Rich culture and history with beautiful scenery and wam, passionate people". I'm brazilian and see that you're truly ignorant about my country. Look into the Paraguayan War, look into what our bandeirantes did with native indians... just to name a few examples. Every country has it's flawed and good history points. The thing is that American society continuously developed and become more and more civilized (I'm talking about the country's people, internal affairs, etc., not international policy). Brazilian society though, is only evolving in the economical aspect, and even here, minimally.
Our soccer showed that it's displaying a bit of what brazilian society is nowadays: unscrupulous. Like a mirror's reflection of what we are today, the seleção acted on the edge of legality through the whole cup, or even breaking legality when they just could do it and go unpunished... just like my fellow brazilian citizens are acting in daily routine. The country has experienced economical improvements, but crime rates soar anyway, legal procedures, both civil and criminal, are in an all-time record. If the economy goes well, shouldn't the benefitial effects on social areas lead to the contrary of that? It's become a cultural problem.
And then, back on our soccer national team: eventually, actual quality would win over the brazilian jeitinho (which is the traditional belief that obeying the norm is a fool's thing, clever people break the law as often as possible, to get an advantage over others). That's what's happening in our political, social (and recently, even economical) areas, and with soccer we just experienced a glance at what that leads. We only got so far because of diving, violent play and the presence 1 truly talented player (and a couple reasonably good players like David Luiz). If you watched this game against germany, you'll see that without the use of violence and diving, and without one of the few players that got there by merit, my seleção simply couldn't handle an actual fair play game, and that's about it.
People burning buses is a sympton of how crazed everyone is about football here: it's an escape from the hard reality people live in, and one of the few reasons to feel proud of our nationality. It's got to the point of fanaticism. Of course I don't enjoy losing like this, but I really hope people take this as a wake up call. If news media even links a game's result to imminent workers strikes, bigger protests, and even to considerable direct effect in the presidential elections, you know that there's something really, really wrong with how that country's people feel both about a sport, that should be pure entertainment, and about actually important life matters.

I'm not really asking if you agree with cutting or anthing like that, but more so, do you know people that cut?
-How old were they when they started?
-Do you know how long they've been doing it?
-Did they show you when they did it or tell you?
-Do they still hurt themselves?
-Are they related to you?
This is for research for a novel on similar stuff. XD So please be honest and answer the questions if you can.
I found that five of my friends use to cut, and two never really told anyone. Most of them only did it for a few years, but one almost killed himself recently which led me to thinking about it more for a story. He is 19 now, but said he's been cutting since he was 11. I also found out my little cousin, 13, has been cutting for a year or so. I saw her legs one day when she spent the night with me. It made me want to cry. I myself use to cut as well, but would never want to do it again, nor do I want to see anyone that does it hurt themselves more. I did it for five years and no one knew about it for the longest time. My brother use to cut when he was 14, 15 but he didn't do it for long. I found my sister has started to hurt herself also, though I'm not sure whether it's by cutting or hitting her head. She is 14.

So after much trial and error I figured out how to get my students to see a book I shared with them, yet the multiple choice and free response question I put into the text are not showing on the students version of the book? Am I doing something wrong? This is really confusing!
Subtext - Hi CF - are your students using edmodo on the web? (i.e. just looking at the stream for your shared annotations that come from Subtext?) Or do they also have iPads and they are not seeing your notes? One thing to check is whether or not they are in your group. If you want to email us your account name and/or email, we can look you up. thanks!
- Jan 21, 2015
Subtext - Oh and you can reach me at email@example.com. thanks!

C F - Thanks Heidi I emailed you. My students are all using the iPad app and are all in my groups!

I added a PDF of mine to subtext on my iPad and it works OK. When I open Subtext on the web, I'm able to see that PDF in my library but am not able to read it or ask questions. Is that not a feature of the web app right now? If not, do you know if it will be? I see that if I add a document on the Web app through Subtext's search, I can read it and ask questions, but not those added as a PDF on the ipad?
Subtext - Hi there- you are correct. PDFs are not yet supported on the Web, just AR 360 and Subtext iOS products. You can search for any web article and import those, or use our collections. You can also bring in free or paid books from Google and Feedbooks.
- Jan 20, 2015
C F - Thanks got it. I have another question
1. I have a work Ipad and a home Ipad. I added a PDF and questions on the home iPad but when I login on my work iPad with the same login I get nothing - I mean I can't see the PDF or questions?
- Jan 20, 2015
Subtext - Hi CF - can you email me what email address you are using to login? Are you logging in via Google or Edmodo? Are you sure you're using the same exact login for both? If you email us your account details we can look you up... you should see the same stuff regardless of device that you use. thanks!

Why will there only be a PAID version of Subtext and not a limited FREE version of this tool? I read the statement posted on Subtext, but this was not clear. I'm assuming that the partnership with Renaissaince is not allowing for the free option.
Mrs. Pereira - This is what I understood unless I am mistaken.
- Dec 18, 2014
Subtext - Hi Mrs. P - that's right. We are moving to be a premium app on iOS this summer (July 1). You'd have to buy through Renaissance at that point. You can read our blog post from the fall (we are trying to give teachers / schools a full year to plan) here: http://www.subtext.com/planning-for-premium

Either I'm an idiot or something is wrong. Is this FREE or not. I've practiced with this before with success using one of my "fake" Edmodo groups. Now I want to present how this can be used, but via the iPad app, I'm being asked to purchase additional licenses to use with the students in my Edmodo group. Confused.
Subtext - Hi Ms. Smith - Subtext on the iPad is a free app with premium features inside it. Those features cost $2.99/student/year. Subtext's Edmodo app is also free- and serves as a "connection" between your students/groups on Edmodo and your iPad. You can see the difference between the free and premium iPad features here: http://www.subtext.com/premium-features (Note: we recently announced that we are going fully premium on 7/1/15 but we wanted to give teachers a full school year more...

Hello people of Subtext,
I have installed Subtext on my iPad, downloaded the subtext app in my group on Edmodo and am having trouble with Subtext information showing up in my Edmodo feed. Any discussion questions, polls, etc do not end up in the feed after sharing (even though in the Subtext ipad app, under discussion, it says shared with that group). The only messages that are getting through are the group "send an update" messages. Thoughts?
Subtext - Hi Mr. Meyers- it sounds like you are on an older version of our iPad app. Now you can add either 'Comments' or you can 'Ask'. Comments share to Edmodo - but make sure you are checking the 'share on edmodo' box like this: http://www.subtext.com/newsite/wp-content/upl... Please let us know if you see this option when you click 'Comment', then choose a group to share to. We have tested this on several groups and it's more...

Hello there! I've tried to add my edmodo group to subtext multiple times and it isn't showing up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the application several times and I've still had no luck. How can I fix this, so that my group shows up and I can buy licenses for them? Thanks
I'm really confused, what do you need to purchase subscriptions for? I only have 5-6 students.
Natasha Rausch - I guess not. Every time I try to upgrade a student using my iPad, it says I need to buy more.
- Jul 13, 2014
- Show 4 more replies...
Natasha Rausch - So I would have to pay $29.99 or $39.99 total? I don't have 10 students, I work in a Special Ed program. Our school year also isn't over for a few more weeks.
- Jul 13, 2014
Subtext - no. it's $2.99 per student. but iTunes makes us sell in packs of 10 (it's a pricing thing of theirs). So your purchase would be $29.99 for you and 6 of your students. There is no tax on that if purchased through iTunes. That would be 7 total people. Perhaps you can think of another 2-3 co-teachers or students that could use the other 3. You could go ahead and buy now, but it would mean your licenses would expire in 2 weeks and you'd have to buy again. If you email me at firstname.lastname@example.com we can get you set up w/ new licenses starting in Aug so that doesn't more...

are indeed the worst labels to have to peel off. I did hot soap and water, and I did Oxyclean, several times. It was still the biggest PITA to get em all off. Oxyclean is great for the other labels. No Magic Hat in Colorado..
This works really well IMO, but it's because of my "special tool."
1. I fill one of my sinks with scalding (or fairly close) hot water and a tiny bit of dish soap. You do not want tons of bubbles. The water is straight from my tap. Letting the bottles sit in the soapy water also cleans the inside. I guess you could use oxiclean too, but I have not tried that yet. I will though.
2. Let, say, 10 or so bottles, however many your sink will hold as long as they are submerged, soak in the hot soapy water for about 10-20 min.
3. Grab your "special tool." In this case, it's one of the scraper/ scrubber tools that you use to clean your grill with. It works superbly in every way. It's like it was made for scrubbing labels off of bottles! Just scrape the label off (it should be pretty easy if the water was hot enough), and run the bottle under a tiny stream of hot tap water. While the bottle is under the tap water, use the scrubbing part of the tool to get the glue off. Just rotate the bottle as you are scrubbing. I usually do the neck first, and then the body of the bottle.
4. After removing the label, set the bottle off to the side. When all the bottles in your sink have been scrubbed and the sink is empty (besides the water), fill it back up with any bottles that need the labels removed. Rinse out the bottles that have been scrubbed with hot/ warm water. If you have a bottle washer, then I would recommend using it.
5. After I rinse the bottles, I usually fill the dish washer until it is full. I set it on light wash with the steam drying. Do not use dishwasher soap. I then store the bottles, and wash/ sanitize them before use.
If you're wondering, the grill scraper I have is something like this. Mine is a little better, but I got it at the local meijer's for less than ten dollars. Just make sure it has a scraper on the front and a metal brush on the other side. I can usually do about 40-60 bottles and hour using this method, and it also removes the glue, and cleans the inside of the bottles. You just have to wait for the dishwasher to free up. That's when I take a break.
Also, try to get the bottles in the hot water as quick as you can. If you take some bottles out, replace them, so you don't have to wait for them to soak longer in the water. Replace the water if it gets cold or ineffective.
Hope this helps!
Another +1 for the Oxyclean method. I had about 15 bottles I needed to get the labels off. I threw them in a bucket of hot water, added some Oxyclean, and a couple hours later all the labels had floated to the top.

The tour of the brewery was very informative. You have to climb up and stairs for the tour. Good shoes and stamina. Excellent info on the process from start to finish. Recycling glass bottles etc. great souvenir shop.
Fell in love with Kokanee on a trip summer 2013 and swore to make it to the brewery on this year's motorcycle trip. Mission accomplished! The tour is extremely informative and the brewery is exceptionally clean. Our tour guide Nastassia really knows her stuff when if comes to Columbia brewery products. I was the last tour of the day on...
Was a very interesting tour. Staff were very friendly and informative. Amazing how many cans of beer are put out every day! Loved Creston, beautiful country side.
We arrived earlier or late for an tour since we had been traveling from Banff, Alberta but the staff greeted us quickly and allowed us to sign up for the next tour about an hour and half later. Which allowed us to look around Creston a bit and to get some things that we needed.
The tour was interesting with...
My group and I were all pleased with the tour and how well kept everything was.
Very informative and well worth the money. If your ever around creston I recommend stopping by and checking it out!
Informative & impressive!!!
Well worth a stop! Kokanee Gold is 'OH SO GOOD'!!! We recommend 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We visited the Brewery on a weekend so unfortunately were unable to watch the bottling. Very informative and well worth the $3.00 weekend rate. The store items, however, are vastly overpriced.
We loved the tour! It was about an hour in total and we saw where they brew the beer, learned about different temperatures for different beers, as well as seeing them package bottles and cans. We learned a lot about the recycling process if cans and bottles within Canada and the States. Totally worth it- AND amazing full pints at...
They make the touring process a lot of fun. The staff are really interested in their jobs, and it shows. Whenever we have house guests who are newcomers to Creston, we bring them here.

Russia seizes 20 tonnes of R22 ozone-destroying refrigerant, sent in disguise from China
RUSSIA: Customs officers in Vyborg have intercepted 20 tonnes of R22 disguised as R134a in a shipment from China.
The cylinders of HCFC gas were declared in custom's import documentation as R134a and boxed in cartons marked as R134a. On opening the cartons, however, the cylinders were quite clearly marked as R22.
* Learn more about this issue in the EIA briefing 'New Trends in ODS Smuggling' - eia-international.org/reports/new-trends-in-ods-smuggling
Imports of R22 into Russia were banned at the end of 2014, as domestic production is deemed sufficient to meet its Montreal Protocol phase-down agreements.
However, R22 prices are extremely high, making the smuggling of cheap R22 from China particularly attractive. The shipment was valued at nearly €52,000.

Malawi to burn its £5m ivory stockpile this week - and demonstrate its commitment to wildlife conservation
The world's poorest country is to make the world's most expensive bonfire. On Thursday, Malawi will set fire to ivory worth more than £5m, in an extravagant gesture designed to demonstrate its commitment to wildlife conservation and the fight against the colossal worldwide business of wildlife crime.
Almost four tons of ivory is held in Malawi's stockpile, and it is going to burn the lot. This will be done at the parliament building, and the march to the incineration will be led by the president, Peter Mutharika, wearing a polo shirt bearing the message "Stop Wildlife Crime".
* Why does EIA believe in zero trade & stockpile destruction? - eia-international.org/why-does-eia-believe-in-zero-trade-stockpile-destruction
The plan follows the burning in Ethiopia earlier this month of six tons of tusks and carved ivory. There are reports that Kenya will burn a further 15 tons in the coming week. But the Malawi burning is the most remarkable.
Malawi has been hammered by a devastating corruption scandal, nicknamed Cashgate, in which around £35 m was believed to have been taken out of government funds. Earlier this year, flooding killed nearly 300 people and made 230,000 homeless.
"It is really inspiring that the Malawi government is prepared to make wildlife conservation a priority in these difficult times," said Jonny Vaughan, general manager of the Lilongwe Wildlife Trust, which has played a significant part in campaigning against the ivory trade. But this is more than a national issue. Malawi also functions as an entrepot, lying between three major elephant populations in hotpots for poaching: the Luangwa Valley in Zambia, Selous in Tanzania and Niassa in Mozambique. This is part of an international illegal business worth billions, and even sober estimates suggest it is killing 20,000 elephants a year.

India: Number of rhinos in Assam's Kaziranga up, says census
The number of world famous one-horned rhinos in Assam's Kaziranga National Park has increased to over 2,400, according to a latest census released on Saturday.
The census, conducted by Assam's forest department, counted 2,401 rhinos, which indicated increase of 71 rhinos in the park in the past two years. The census, launched on Tuesday and continued till Friday, is a regular exercise in the park and it is conducted every three years.
Although the last census was carried out in 2012, the state government conducted a special census of the rhinos in 2013 after a large number of rhinos had been poached in the park.
While the 2012 census confirmed 2,290 rhinos in the park, the special census next in 2013 confirmed that there were 2,329 rhinos in the park.
