I have problem display the date in correct format from viewmodel and also the validation not work as well refer to the image
As i've seen many post mentioned they managed to solved it without needed to set dateformat in client-side. So I NOT wish to set the date format in client-side which mean via jQueryUI datepicker or any method use to format in client-side. But no matter what i tried it seem not taking the format from the ViewModel.
And i knew this question had been posted long time in here, but nothing seem to work to me. Here are the list I had tried but none of them is work to me
Unable to set datetime format in MVC 4 using data annotations
-- Not sure why it's work as i tried date and datetime in data annotation
Validate DateFormat In Mvc
--> tried but still not work
Jquery dd/MM/yyyy date format validation --> is seem overkill to me to include jquery-ui-i18n.js and i don't want to set in client-side.
So anyone can advise what i've missed out? Or Can i say DataFormatString is completely useless without do extra work in client-side?
This is my viewModel
public class DateModel
[Display(Name = "StartDate")]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yy}")]
public Nullable<DateTime> StartDate { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "EndDate")]
[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:dd/MM/yy}")]
public Nullable<DateTime> EndDate { get; set; }
My View

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.StartDate)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.StartDate)

@Html.LabelFor(model => model.EndDate)

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.EndDate)

I like these tires, this is my second pair. They offer excellent traction straight line and in the corners and wear very well. The Michelan Pilot Power tires I used to run offer better feedback when your at the edge of the tire where these will let you lean until there is no tire left and not really let you know. I think this is due to the profile of the tire which also keeps it from looking as wide as other tires on the market. Overall I think these are a great riders tire but not the coolest looking tires money can buy.Read All Reviews

I've been going back and forth about going to MVMCP that night, so I can at least have a little time in a Park, and maybe see the new Fantasyland. But I'm also afraid it will be jam-packed because of the official opening of the new Fantasyland being the day before and it being a Friday night. However, if I went with others instead of solo, the crowds might be more tolerable. Anyone planning to go? Or interested in going? Let me know! Sayhello

Archpastoral Letter for the Great Fast 2015Dearly Beloved Members of our Diocesan Family: Christ is in our midst! – He is and ever shall be!"The springtime of the Fast has dawned, the flower of repentance has begun to open …"As we begin Great Lent, we should do so in anticipation of the spiritual blessings that we will receive through our deeper commitment to God during this holy season. Through our repentance and humility we should live each day, focusing our hearts and minds on His presence. Through our prayer and fasting and almsgiving, and by His grace, our spiritual lives can be transformed by Him and our souls drawn closer to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.This is, of course, the primary goal of the Lenten season – and of every aspect of our Orthodox Faith – to bring us closer to God, to help us become more like Christ, and eventually to take our rightful place as heirs of the heavenly kingdom. In the Scripture we read that prayer, fasting and service to people were the hallmarks of Christ's ministry. Through His example, we are shown a manner of living that focuses on the Gospel message of communion with God. This, then, is our focus for the Great Fast.All too often, I fear, we approach Lent too casually, not seriously enough, almost taking it for granted. Rather than being an opportunity for us to come closer to our Savior and become more like Him, the Fast is seen as an encumbrance on our schedules, our social life and personal demands. It is as if we see Lent as a burden … a burden that at times we choose to lighten. And my greatest fear is that this happens in the arena of the Mystery of Forgiveness.If our Orthodox Christianity is anything, it is a faith of forgiveness. To the paralytic, Jesus said: "Thy sins are forgiven thee." To the adulteress, He said: "Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more." And from the cross He prayed, "Father, forgive them …" Forgiveness fills the Gospel: the father welcoming home the prodigal son; the Good Shepherd carrying the lost sheep; the tender look at Peter, across the courtyard, after he had denied Christ three times; and the promise spoken to the dying thief: "This day you will be with me in paradise." Indeed, our faith is about forgiveness.But do we take this too lightly, too routinely? The Lenten Season properly begins with Forgiveness Vespers, which culminates in the Ceremony of Mutual Forgiveness. Here, all who are present bow down before one another and ask for forgiveness. In this way, we begin the Fast with a clean conscience, with forgiveness, and with renewed Christian love. How many of us participate in this rite wholeheartedly? How many avoid coming to exchange mutual forgiveness, or do not attend Forgiveness Vespers, or skip that Sunday altogether?The Scripture is very clear. There is one pre-condition for our being forgiven by the Lord: that we forgive others. "If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15). This echoes the words of the Lord's Prayer: "… and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."There is a beautiful story from the life of the saintly Metropolitan Anthony Bloom of England, who confessed as a young man that he could not forgive someone for what he had done against him. After numerous attempts at reasoning with Anthony, his spiritual father told him, "Then when you pray the Lord's Prayer, you must say, 'Do not forgive me my trespasses as I do not forgive so-and-so his trespasses.'" Quickly, young Anthony realized the need to forgive his brother.One might make the excuse, "I don't know some of these people in church; for what should I ask forgiveness?" – The answer is simple: ask for forgiveness for not knowing them better. Let us take this first step in the Mystery of Forgiveness and live it out in the spirit in which it is given to us; that is, in the love of our forgiving God: "God forgives, and I forgive … may He forgive us both."The second and central aspect of Lent as the season of forgiveness is the Sacrament of Confession. There is a tradition that during the first week of the Fast, "Clean Week," one goes to confession to clean his house thoroughly. The reading from Isaiah on the first day of Lent sets that tone: "Wash yourselves and ye shall be clean; put away the wicked ways from your souls before Mine eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do well. Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, consider the fatherless, and plead for the widow. Come then, and let us reason together, saith the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet, I will make them white as snow; though they be red like crimson, I will make them white as wool" (Isaiah 1:16-18).Whether we go to confession during the first week of Lent or sometime later in the Fast, the timing is not the issue. It is the attitude with which we approach the Sacrament. There are those who look at Confession as an obligation to be met, so that one can be "a member in good standing" in the parish, run for parish council, or maintain burial privileges. This totally misses the mark. In the Mystery of Confession, we receive forgiveness and absolution from the Lord in exchange for our sorrow. What we are blessed with is the same forgiveness that Peter who denied Christ three times received; the same forgiveness that the adulteress received; and the same forgiveness that the thief on the cross received.Do we receive this forgiveness anywhere else in the world? Can a student taking an exam tell his teacher he is sorry he missed question 7; can he do it over again? Can a basketball player who misses a foul shot, say he is sorry and try again? Can a car salesman who needs so many sales to get his bonus, say he is sorry he failed to seal the deal and make his quota, but still get the bonus? Forgiveness comes not from the world, but from our Savior.Saint John the Evangelist warns us: "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:8-9). St. Paul cautions us against coming to Communion with unconfessed sins: "Let a man examine himself, and then let him eat of the Bread and drink of the Cup. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's Body" (I Cor. 11:28-29). Let us approach the Sacrament of Confession in the spirit in which It is given.And what spirit is that? Forgiveness is a gift, God's gift to the penitent. It is an expensive gift, and if we take it, it should mean we belong to the Giver. He has purchased all of us; he should have our total love. It is a gift that should bind our forgiven soul in endless love and gratitude to the Forgiver. They love most, Christ says, who have been forgiven most. The story of the giving of this gift is told to us through the divine services all through Great Lent, but most especially during Great and Holy Week – through the detailed accounts of the Holy Scripture, and in the beautiful hymns of our Holy Church. How many of us attend every service? How many of us pick and choose, considering the length and ignoring the content? Christ did not pick and choose; He loves us all, and He died for us all.In the book Jesus: A Dialogue with the Saviour, written by a monk of the Eastern Church, we read the cost of the gift of our forgiveness and the spirit in which it was given: "Blood flows from Your forehead, from Your hands, and from Your scourged body, O Lord. It flows in long streams. It is going to flow from Your open side as though Your heart were bursting under the pressure of Your suffering love. The cup is poured out in libation."The crown of thorns bruised Your head. Woven in the form of a circle, these thorns are like the sins of men, gathered together and heaped upon you. Your feet, O Lord, are nailed to the wood. Your Cross is the winepress where the true vine is pressed. You have no possibility of escape. You are waiting for me … Fastened to Your Cross, You compel Yourself to this waiting. It is possible for me not to come, but You are there and You remain where You have allowed Yourself to be placed."Your arms are stretched out. They are open as an appeal to all men. They cannot be closed again. The nails keep them there in this gesture which is at one and the same time an invitation and an embrace. In silence they beckon to me: 'Come.'"My beloved, God does not force anyone to come to Him. We are not dragged into His kingdom by the hairs of our head. He loves us into it, and because He loves us into it, it means the Cross, the crown of thorns, the nails, the spear – the forgiveness that cost our Savior His life. Let us not take this Lenten Season and the gift of forgiveness it offers for granted. Let us not take lightly the Rite of Mutual Forgiveness, the Mystery of Confession, and the divine services, especially Holy Week. When we look at the Cross, we know that Our Lord has gone as far as He can go for us. Only one question remains for each of us to answer this Lent: How far will we go to meet the One Who loves us more than we love ourselves?Asking your forgiveness for the times I have failed you, I remain with sincere love and humble prayers,+ M I C H A E L Bishop of New York and the Diocese of New York and New Jersey
Greetings in the name of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ!
Welcome to the web pages of Saints Peter and Paul Orthodox Church! We are a vibrant and growing community in the Mohawk Valley, serving a wide area of Greater Central New York. We are committed to living a life in Jesus Christ, being nourished by our common worship in the Holy Eucharist and the other services of the Church, of personal prayer, and in striving to bring the light of Christ to our community. Whenever you are in the area, please come and worship with us, get to know us and be welcome to our warm hospitality.
We received this question: "My wife and I are considering visiting [your parish] sometime in the near future. We are not Orthodox Christians and have never been to a Sunday service in the Orthodox Church. Are there some things we should be aware of prior to our visit? Any helpful comments would be appreciated."
We can recommend "12 Things I Wish I'd known... First Visit to an Orthodox Church": http://www.frederica.com/12-things/
Please remember that you are welcome to come downstairs to the Coffee Hour, at the end of the service, where we can sit and get to know each other.
If you have any other questions - please don't hesitate to e-mail or phone the pastor: firstname.lastname@example.com and 315.866.3272.
Hello Music Lovers, whoever and wherever you are.
Our Choir Director moved away and we are without anyone with musical training to lead the singing which we as a community offer to God. Our Church Services are all in English. We have a good number of singers, but without someone to lead them, the singing has lots of room for improvement. If you are interested, we will pay for your gasoline (travel expense) and a small honorarium for each service.
Local music students are welcome to try out for the position - we will teach you anything you need to know - resources are readily available.
Please contact the Rector, Father John, as soon as you can (315-866-3272). Thank you.
At the Request of the Holy Synod of Bishops, we add the following petition to the Augmented Litany and in our prayers:
Again we pray for those who are being persecuted for their faith, especially the Christian faithful of Egypt and across the Middle East, that the Lord God will send down upon them every spiritual weapon to endure their tribulations; and that He will grant that Peace which passes all understanding upon the region, and throughout the whole world, as a foretaste of His heavenly Kingdom.
AFTER PASCHA – how do we keep the intense feeling of Lent, after the Resurrection? Or - Living the life of an Apostle
Lent was so filled with beautiful dramatic services, wonderful prayers and hymns, and even the prayer and fasting we do at home. But after Pascha, some people feel let down. This shouldn't be.
The women who came to the tomb to anoint the body of the dead Jesus were met by a blazingly bright angel who asked them, 'Why do you seek the Living (One) among the dead? He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,.. (Luke 24.5-8) "Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you. (Matthew 28.)"
The women disciples of the Lord, having lived with Him and witnessed His death and resurrection, immediately were SENT by the angel to tell the Good News to the apostles and all the world.
In the Early Church, Lent was the time of preparing catechumens for entry into the Church. This aspect of Great Lent is so important for us as the reminder of our own catechumenate. The catechumens were very important in the life of the Church, not only because they were fresh and new, but also because they were so zealous and energetic about the faith and about being Christians. They rejuvenated the old-timers and encouraged those who were 'weary in well-doing' (2 Thessalonians 3:13) or tired from doing charity and good things for others (often a thankless work). They were like the addition of fresh leaven or yeast into the dough – remember that in those early times that meant sourdough and it was possible for your leaven to get old or weak…
One of the post-baptism instructions to the neophytes (Christian newbies) was heard in the Gospel lesson, "Just as the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you" (John 20:21) – thus changing them from students into worker and doers, from servants to co-workers and children of God. But this is also "The Great Commission" which is addressed to ALL Christians, neophytes and elders alike. Great Lent may be the training ground for catechumens, but it's also the 'retreat' for the older Christians. Great Lent is a time for us all to hone our skills as missionaries and workers in the vineyard of Christ – the kingdom of Heaven.
So, what do we 'veterans' need to remember about this Great Commission, this Great Command?
First, we need to remember that we are being SENT, and not just asked, or recommended. We are SENT, just as God the Father SENT God the Son. So we are under obedience, as soldiers are under obedience to their commanders. This is not a willy-nilly 'sending' but a part of the strategy in the war of good against evil. Not every soldier is on the front line, but every soldier is one who is prepared to face the fight when the need arises. Not every soldier is called to be a foot-soldier, but some are called to be leaders and officers. That means that everyone has a job to do, and no job is more or less important than another.
What else? This sending is not the happiest thing, from the point of view of the non-Christians. That's because this sending is to labor and service – unpaid and often thankless, to struggle and overcome – unacknowledged, to be hated and despised because of Our Master and devotion to righteousness and goodness, to be unloved, mistreated, unknown, and unsought. It doesn't appeal to you? It was part of Our Lord's life – so if we accept the commission, we shouldn't be surprised at this aspect of it. But none of this matters, because our food and our reward is to do the will of God. All our needs will be taken care of because as God clothes the fields with lilies, as he feeds the birds of the air, as he finds rest for those who have nowhere to lay their heads, so He cares for us. This reward from God is a more beautiful and wonderful and incredible blessing than any praise or reward from men.
Sounds like a tall order? Remember that God sent his only-begotten Son to teach us the most important things about life – to love God with all our heart and mind and soul and strength and to love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves, by feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, clothing the naked, and by visiting the sick and imprisoned. If we soldiers can do even part of that, we'll be fed with the Bread of Heaven. But more than that, we are not sent alone – after being taught the basic training by our Lord Jesus Christ, God promised to send and continues to send us His Holy Spirit, to comfort us and to reward us, and to watch over us, to help us learn what's right (because He is the Spirit of Truth), who is everywhere, and who gives life and blessings. He will come and stay with us, guide us and protect us.
SO, having taken up our cross, and having accepted the command to go and be his apostles and disciples and announce His Good Word to the world, let us rely on God's Holy Spirit to show each of us the way we should go about accomplishing His great work.
O Lord our God, grant that we may glorify Thee in the manner of Thy Holy Apostles: by prudent reasoning illumined by Thy Holy Spirit, by submitting ourselves to one another in love, and by solicitude for the well-being of Thy Holy Church and for the world which we are given.
Christ is Risen! Indeed, He is Risen!
During Great Lent, we are called upon to fast, pray, confess our sins, and turn to doing good instead of evil. We do that by giving alms, or help to the poor.
We hear in the Divine Liturgy that "Every good gift and perfect gift comes down from Thee, the Father of Lights…" All of the things we 'give' to one another are patterned after the One True Gift – Our Lord's giving Himself to the world, at His voluntary crucifixion. You may think that Christmas gifts, Birthday gifts, Baptism and Wedding gifts are personal gifts between yourself and the recipient, but in fact, if they are true, genuine and wholesome gifts, they're patterned on the Lord's self-sacrifice.
The Lord's sacrifice is repeated in the Divine Liturgy. Offered on the altar is His body and His blood, which He gives to us continually. This gift is pure, holy, self-less, and eternal.
The gifts we give are often less than pure, as they're given in an effort to bribe someone, to put our controls on them, to make them beholding to us. Those gifts are not given without the hope of getting something in return. Often, someone gives something to the Church, but puts their name on a plaque or inscribes the gift itself or requests that it be announced in the Bulletin. Those are gifts which people think they can control, they think they can demand them back when things don't go their way.
Donations to the Church are always given to the Church, not to individuals. God loves a cheerful giver, but He also does not favor gifts which were not given freely, not given without strings attached, not given from the heart. The only true and valuable gifts are those things we have worked hard to earn. Gifts which we did nothing to earn are not genuine. For example, a real gift would be something which we make ourselves, as opposed to something we buy or pay for, or give from money earned by 'money-changers' or bankers – money earned from interest, and not from the sweat of our brow.
Remember the words of the Divine Liturgy, "We offer unto Thee Thine own of thine own on behalf of all and for all"? This is the key to understanding donations. We offer to God what is His, what we used, like those three men who received 10 and 5 and 1 talent when their Master went away on a journey? We use those talents to make more talents. We do NOT offer to God what we did not earn. The first servant earned 10 talents more, the second earned 5 talents more, but the third one simply buried the talent he was given in the earth and earned nothing. The master said, 'Worthless and lazy servant! At the very worst you could have given the money to the bankers who would have returned interest on the talent – but you didn't even do that.' (Matthew 25:28). The Master didn't recommend that the money be given to the bankers, but as a last resort, the servant could have at least done that much.
Isn't it a more wonderful gift when we know it was made especially for us by loving hands and heart?
"The Lord loves a cheerful giver" "Each of us should give what we have decided in our hearts to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7). No gift which comes from trying to show someone up by giving a better or larger or richer gift is a worthy or meaningful gift.
Do not be afraid to give to someone you think may be a thief or charlatan because the Lord blesses your intention. And your gift may be the one which changes the black hearted man into an angel of good.
Brothers and sisters, Holy Scripture tells us: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up". (Galatians 6:9) "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them. (Hebrews 6:10) We must be tireless is struggling to live good and holy lives, and even more, to give 'until it hurts' to those who ask of us (aloud and silently) and are in obvious need.

Before the teams faced off against the Hoisington Cardinals, they participated in the unveiling of a metal sculpture created by Bruce Bitter of B&B Metal Arts in Hoisington.
HOISINGTON - Many imagine doing good for others, but much of the time, those thoughts never reach fulfillment. However, one young man Brett McMullin, who was born with a club foot, no fibula in his right leg, a heart murmur and a sixth vertebra in his spine, and has had a rod inserted in the femur of his left leg with screws in his knee and hip. His feet are two different sizes, an 11 and a 5 with legs of different lengths.

The Lasso: Roping in the best of the web
Like Houdini, honey badgers are great escape artists
By now, we all probably know what honey badgers don't give, but what about what they do?
As it turns out, they care a lot about magic.
Honey badgers not only have "remarkably big brains" for their size, they are also master escape artists and will work in teams, according to the BBC2 documentary, "Honey Badgers: Masters of Mayhem."
From opening locks with their clawed hands to piling rocks up against a wall like a ladder, the honey badger will not be contained!
And it gets creepier: They will also break into your home while you sleep. Just ask conservationist Brian Jones.

The man behind the iPod ad silhouettes
Vfxsoup has posted an interesting interview with Alex Brodie, who produced the silhouettes for the iPod ads. The interview also has two before and after photos of the people that became silhouettes in the rock version of the iPod commercials.
Update: At the request of Apple, the site has removed all references to the iPod ads since our posting.

Sorry guys,
Apple requested that I remove the ipod info as there was some question as to whether the interviewee had the correct permissions to disclose what was there. Rather than get anyone in trouble, I yanked all the ipod related material. I'm sorry that you went to the site and found the interview lacking what had been promissed, but I appreciate the time you took. Thanks!

Is there anyway that I could get the interview info from you to use in a final paper? This paper would not be published or distributed, only for my professor to read? Please let me know if that would be possible, because this is exactly what I am writing on… rather the raced silhouetted figures from the ads.

Itoh stems rotting and falling right out
I planted some Itohs this spring that were growing in a greenhouse, and so were about a foot or so tall already when planted in late April here in Toronto.
One in particular (a Bartzella) is struggling: the stems are breaking and falling right out at ground level or just below. it really seems like either the stems are really weak and cannot support the plant especially after it rains, or else this corner of my garden is too wet and the stems are rotting right at around ground level. So far 4 of the 8 major stems have fallen right out, and the rest look like they could go soon too.
What should I do? Is this plant doomed or will it come back next year? Will any other type of peony survive/thrive on this particular spot (marginally full sun at about 6 hrs, tends to stay a bit soggy since it as the lower end of my front walkway)?
Ok, I'll try moving it. What do you recommend planting in it's place? 6 hrs sun, a bit soggy, next to a walkway? I hear Rugosa Roses can tolerate wet feet, but I don't want anything that thorny next to a walkway like that.
This spot is one of the most prominent locations in my garden (right at the end of the walkway, closest to the street so it gets seen fhe most) which is why I put the Bartzella there in the first place. Maybe some showy annuals?

number01May 23, 2010
I have been reading up on a new tomato, called a KUMATO. All I have read says they are not available to the U.S....only spain and europe.I would like to get some seed to try them.How about it gardeners..anyone else heard of them? I think they are available in canada.
I have 6-10 seeds I can send you. The one plant I had last year died before it fruited. Am trying it again this year. Supposed to be a 2-4 oz reddish brown in color, very prolific, with an unusual but very good taste. PM me your addy if you want the seeds.
I am looking for seeds of a Japanese cherry tomato called Amakko. If you happen to see a source for those please let me know.

text: I know it probably isn't of much interest for someone to say this, but if you think you have much chance of making a Patriots value type analysis on WRs or DBs, maybe you should think again. For WRs, how much actual film are you ever able to see with regard to a receiver ? The answer is, you see ONLY catches, misses, and drops. Compared to the number of offensive plays that a WR runs, what kind of a sample is that ? Before you jump on me too hard, certainly there is some information here. If there are too many drops, a receiver isn't worth much. If a receiver obviously gets lot's of catches in a game, that is valuable information. But if a receiver only makes a few receptions and doesn't have too many drops, then the evaluation of worth to the team is a lot of things we have absolutely NO way to evaluate. To name a few, does he actually run routes that he is supposed to. Does he make the complex route adjustments and options that Brady and the WR coach expects him to - this is BIG. Does he block well - think about it, this can be a BIG value issue. IF he runs the routes well (a total prerequisite), does he then actually get open or get separation from the DBs. If he is a decoy or the play is designed where he is supposed to pull DBs to certain areas (to open up zones/gaps for other receivers) is he successful in doing so. If he is supposed to pull a DB deep, does he sell the route in order to do so or does he allow the DB to drop off and double up on another receiver. Does he actually hang on to the ball if he gets hit as he gets the ball. Is he willing to go up for a ball and risk getting clobbered. Is he willing to go over the middle into traffic and actually mean it. Is he versatile in other roles - special teams both directions. Does he have an exotic versatility - reverses or WR passing options. Something that may be overlooked by almost everyone (for players lower on the depth chart) - does the player have characteristics that will be of value to the team in running scout team practice ?? Probably another BIG one - work ethic - which we get little info on for practices and probably can't evaluate very well even in game situations. This year - is he an emergency QB candidate ?! I'm sure some of the knowledgable folks can add things I've missed. When you try to read something in to why BB/SP would take this guy off of some other teams 'scrap heap', remember that they have film on ALL of this guy's work on the field in all of the contribution areas listed above. Do you REALLY think that they are not knowledgable about what to look for ? Give me a break. Another thing that is sometimes commented on here, but probably not enough or gets lost sight of when these acquisitions are made: Belichick has a DIFFERENT system that he runs that anyone else. Even when the pundits talk about another teams system being similar, none are the same as the Pats. So what we have no way of even guessing at is what differences in the system might make a WR be down the depth chart of another team or get less playing time but might make him a much more valuable contributor in the Pats system. We have NO way of knowing what those nuances are - see the above list of all of the things that are important in a receiver. Folks tend to look at every acquisition with a critique of whether the player can be #1 (or #2) on the depth chart at the position. Geeesh. You can be sure that some of these players are expected AT THE OUTSET to be 4th or 5th on the depth chart but may simply be judged to be stronger at that depth than what is currently on the roster. How MANY times do we talk about the fact that one of the strengths of the Patriots is a more solid depth chart than other teams. But then we ignore that, for a given acquisition, this may be what BB/SP are actually doing - building a lower rung on the depth chart. There is nothing wrong with this folks - it's what we acknowledge to be a REALLY good thing. Another thing that I think folks probably are aware of but forget in the heat of a new acquisition. There really is something called potential. How many times has Belichick talked about one of the key factors in a player getting on the roster or staying on it is for the player to keep showing improvement. You get a strong impression that players make the roster who we may see as weaker than another player at this juncture and we wail about why that happened. But what WE don't have any way of seeing is whether the player who does make the roster is making progress every practice and every game and looks like they will, in some Belichick judged time frame, end up being stronger and so is the better choice for the team. So what they may see in these 'why this guy' acquisitions is some improvement over time that shows upside potential that they don't see in a player they let go. Statistics are interesting. You will see me listing stats frequently. BUT. Statistics ALWAYS have to be viewed carefully. That is a whole different discussion that would cloud this one, but some of the important things to keep in mind are that in football, stats may tell you little about actual percentage of success or value of contribution. And, many stats, especially ones that show little performance, can be very affected by simply opportunity or play schemes or even less-than-smart coach preferences. Folks comment on the following issue one way or another all of the time. But do some people really GET IT: This is NOT in any way shape or form an exact science. Even with all of the info BB/SP have access to, most of these acquisitions are a GAMBLE. In the end, even after they have filtered out all of the obvious misfits or shortcomings of potential acquistions, there is still no substitute for getting the player into your coaching regimen and seeing what he can do in your system. I would bet a significant amount of money that if you asked BB/SP, that they have no expectation that they are going to hit it on every acquisition. But along with, folks don't seem to understand that part of the success of BB/SP is that they are not afraid to keep bringing these players in and trying them out. They do not get complacent with or fixed on players and take the easy route of not going through all of the work and effort to keep trying new players. Most new coaches/GMs start out doing this but then slack off after a couple years. Give BB/SP credit - they are not falling into this trap. ----------------------- So make your lists of 'failures'. But those lists have no credibility unless you put right alongside it the list of successes. So get all excited and rewrite the depth chart and put the new guy at the #1 position or maybe just higher than the present guys - but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense IMHO. There's no way to make a declaration like that. We can't have a clue as to what BB/SP expect from the player and for SURE it's a very rare unusual player that can come in and produce as effectively as someone who has been through the coaching and experience. So judge the acquistion as stupidity on BB/SP part, or dumb compared to signing some player you have a 'notion' about. Somehow I have to think that BB/SP are able to evaluate a potential and possible contribution to the Patriots that you can't possibly do. I wonder why I might think that. So blast BB/SP for letting a player go, cutting a player, and/or replacing a player and judge that this is a disaster, or a terrible move, or at least a bad move. Your credibility when you do that is virutally ZERO. ZERO, folks. Get a clue.

The Seeds Of A Daisy
Posted December 11, 2012
From a distance, Lily Lockwood has it all. She¿s the star of a
From a distance, Lily Lockwood has it all. She's the star of a popular and acclaimed TV series with a handsome boyfriend poised to become a big time Hollywood leading man. But in her own eyes, her life is unraveling. That boyfriend, Jamie, is cheating on her with his costar on a film set miles away, and Lily's mother, Daisy, is comatose following a devastating car accident.
The Seeds of a Daisy opens with Lily by Daisy's side in the hospital, begging her to return to the realm of the conscious. As she waits for news from the doctors, she reflects on her life and relationship with her mother, who raised Lily alone and guided her through the mad world of Hollywood. When Lily goes through Daisy's possessions in search of a living will, she discovers things about her mother's past that she could never have dreamed of, things that reveal the woman behind the tough-cookie career queen Daisy the bestselling author was known as.
Caiola writes with a natural, conversational style that brings Lily's voice to life. The realistic dialogue and easy, fluid prose carry the story forward in a way that makes the pages turn themselves. The reader is privy to all of Lily's thoughts and raw emotions as she faces the madness her life has become—her grief, her anger, her hope, and then some. Each moment is a suspenseful one for Lily as she waits for news from the doctors and comes to grips with reality, and that suspense carries over to the audience, making this book an unexpectedly fast-paced page-turner. Although the story is told from Lily's point of view, The Seeds of a Daisy, as the title implies, is as much about Daisy—her effect on Lily and the world around her. Lily spends much of the book reflecting on her somewhat codependent relationship with her mother and learning to stand on her own and take charge of her life.
Behind the mother-daughter drama is a colorful supporting cast and a fascinating glimpse of Hollywood politics. While the reader sees Lily as a vulnerable young woman, the rest of the world views her as a celebrity to be gossiped about. Paparazzi mob her in the hospital lobby, trying to get a snapshot of her distraught face for the tabloids. So when Jamie flies back to be with her, is he actually trying to comfort her, or is this another publicity stunt? Meanwhile, Daisy's longtime friends flock to Lily's side out of genuine concern.
Also, I must note that this book seems incredibly well-researched on the hospital drama front. The medical jargon and explanations—dry and impenetrable to both the reader and Lily—add to the story's realistic atmosphere. Although the book's set-up, with the Emmy's and the paparazzi hovering in the background, may seem glamorized, the story itself is very down-to-earth. Lily may not be the most eloquent speaker, but her words ring true even though she sometimes seems to have trouble expressing her emotional frenzy.
I didn't mean to read The Seeds of a Daisy in one sitting, but I ended up getting so absorbed in the drama and the characters that I couldn't put it down. Entertaining, gripping, and sometimes tear-jerking, it's the kind of book that's easy to get lost in.

This novel is an excellent combination of great story-telling mixed with insider Hollywood info. I found the main character's journey gripping, and I finished the book in a day.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
Although in many books it's hard for the reader to relate to a character who's a famous actress, that wasn't the case in The Seeds of a Daisy. Lily, the main character, is human like the rest of us, slightly flawed like the rest of us, and going through a situation that is too horrifying for many of us to comprehend. I found myself wishing I could be there for her.
The writer does an excellent job of weaving past and present as well as introducing a variety of colorful characters along the way. The dialogue flows easily and the pages flew by.
As someone who has lived in both California and New York, I personally loved all of the specific LA and NY references. Also, the writer's experience with the entertainment industry shines through.
The book helps us examine our own lives, relationships and friendships. There's a mix of both heavy, difficult moments as well as lighter ones that will make you smile. I highly recommend it.
