Feed back wanted on D.E.
There is reason to believe that the LT, CB and Rb positions may have been addressed. DT will be stronger and Okam may play a role. Kubes is high on Zak DIles as OLB and signed FA to shore that spot. My question because there is little to talk about, is on DE across from Mario; would seem to be the glaring weakness. Colvin may or not sign but is no long term solution. Would you trade up to land a top 10 selection to get "the" player to compliment Mario? Most drafts probably not and I know Kubes/Smith want more picks, but the team is rounding out to look good & 2009 may be year to go for that "go getter". I realize that injuries could change focus as could any and all draft pick being duds. Some projected ends look pretty good.
I want to be able to recognize the difference between a "want" and a "need" and then I want to be satisfied with getting a need |

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
There's so many variables that would go into a decision like that...I can't even begin to think of whether or not I'd trade into the top ten next year....

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
I'm opposed to trading up in the first round unless there is a specific player that would fill the one missing piece you need. The cost is just too high. The Texans have had way too many busts or traded picks in the second and third rounds in the past to be able to have the kind of depth that a good team needs to have to be able to fill holes in case of injuries and free agency losses.
Plus, good pass rushers are usually still available late in the first round, if we are lucky enough to be picking then. This past draft the following DE's were taken with at the corresponding picks: 28. Lawrence Jackson 32. Phillip Merling 50. Calais Campbell 52. Quintin Groves 54. Jason Jones |

I only like trading up if you were a team that made it past the first round of the playoffs.

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
Also, some of those DE's that may look good now could fall during the year for one reason or another. Remember the DE from TCU this past year? And look at Mario a couple of years ago. He wasn't on anyones radar until the Combine. Just food for thought during this lull in the action! |

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
The preseason with its waiver lines, surprises within our own present ranks, possible FA signings.........and a long regular season, make it quite possible that we won't necessarily need to go fishing in the 1st round for that DE. Like POLO essentially already stated, many things can......and are bound to happen before the next draft.........too many to make this a topic of concern now.

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
As of now, and it's really too ealry to tell too much, but as of now, these are some guys to watch:
George Selvie, DE, South Florida Greg Hardy, DE, Ole Miss Greg Middleton, DE, Indiana Michael Johnson, DE, Georgia Tech Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU (I already do not like him. I like him less initially than I did Dorsey) Ian Campbell, DE, Kansas State (Booo!) Ricky Sapp, DE, Clemson Auston English, DE, Oklahoma Maurice Evans, DE, Penn State These are the guys I remember or have seen before. Johnson may not have the starting experience, but watch you for him. Selvie is clearly at the top of the 4-3 list. He is a pure pass-rusher with a rangy build and an excellent first step. Think Freeny's first step with a Mario-lite body. I didn't like Dorsey last year for how he was projected, but he was a good player, and until Jackson proves something, he was just a product of Dorsey. Jackson has a ton of physical ability, not like Mario, but he could easily play 3-4 DE, and he just might get drafted for that role.
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we had when we created them. |

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
I'm sure there will be a few players that emerge from the college season next year that could become great pass rushers that we can look at.
I agree (with Pollo) that the draft isn't the only place to look. Waiver wires, free agents, and all of that jazz will make for interesting places to find players. Plus, Rick Smith seems to have an uncanny ability to find street FA's that can come in and play their role effectively (See: Maddox, Anthony and Demps, Will). One thing, if Okoye turns into that pocket pusher that we need, we may be able to get by with just whoever on the otherside of Mario. A great DT can make sacks a lot easier for the ends. |

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
No. I was never a fan of Adams. Selvie has a body that is ready now, but he isn't a Mario. Think the Giants DE Osi something.

Re: Feed back wanted on D.E.
I'm thinking if my team is fairly solid except for DE and a very good prospect is available with a trade up in 09, I could see giving up a first and another pick for an anchor at a very important position. Was anyone else sweating as the LTs we were hoping for got picked? When you are down to the last tackle you think can be "the guy", a trade up might be an option. That would give you a starting DE for years opposite Mario and you can continue to strengthen team with other picks.
Yes, Smith can continue to maybe work magic with Colvin type FA, but we stopped doing that with LT and for the best I might say. A Selvie (if he has the type of 2008 many think) for our low first and a 3rd may be a good deal.

At 4 feet long and 2 feet tall, Psittacosaurus (pronounced sih-TACK-oh-sore-us) lived some 100 million years ago. Despite the fact that it didn't have any horns, Psittacosaurus was a member of the same group as Triceratops.
Psittacosaurus was named for its prominent rostral bone, which formed the tip of its upper beak. The front of its jaw was used to crop vegetation before the food was chewed, swallowed, and ground between stones in its gizzard.

Please Register or Log in to Remove this Advertisement! I'd sure like to see Suh go to another division. We won't get him for the reasons already mentioned. I find it interesting that Detroit, while having arguably the best DL in the NFL (Suh plays alongside stellar talent on that DL), gives up a lot of points. Last season that defense gave up over 30 points in 4 games and 20-27 points in 7 more games. A great defense is so much more than just a great DL. Seattle is a good example of that. Seattle has stellar talent BEHIND that DL - and it is a dominating defense. This is a classic example of why drafting Donald in the 1st round won't solve our woes at other positions on the defense. It won't make crappy players good. That is delusional thinking.
The damn you say you can't make crappy players good. Have you tried letting them gel? They just need more playing time together.
As fun as it is to think about, would never happen. And if it did happen (not us of course) I bet fans around the league would be surprised the lack of value they would get for him. I bet nothing more than a late first rounder or combo of early 2nd and like a 5th. That's another reason it wouldn't happen, the value that some think he would command wouldn't be there. No sane GM would trade 2 first rounders or anything for a guy who will likely end up suspended and is going to cost easily the most for any DT with his new contract. Farley is the one who will be available after next year.
I know :-) People want to believe that a single player is going to be our savior. When we got Cutler it was like, "buy those Super Bowl tix now boys" it's a lock for us to be in the Big Dance. But of course we stupid fans didn't understand that an offense was more than 1 player making us great. We needed the other positions to help - like WR's, an offensive line, TE's, a running game - and a coach who had a clue about offense. Did Cutler miraculously make everyone around him (the crappy players) good all of a sudden? No. We were going NOWHERE until we fixed the entire unit to a certain degree. Any fatal weakness on the entire unit was - fatal. Same on defense. Fans want to believe we're just one DT Donald away from making the D good again. Good luck with that one if any unit behind the DL sucks. And let me tell ya, Donald is not a lock to be a great player in the NFL. I know, that is blasphemy to even THINK about. We thought Shea was going to be solid too......and countless other 1st round picks have not panned out for us. It happens. People want to believe Shea McClellan is going to be the next Brian Urlacher. Conte is going to miraculously turn into a stud safety. I won't beat the dead horse here, but we need a "reality check" here. Look, I'm fine if we draft whomever Emery decides to draft, and I am 100% fine if that guy is a DT, Donald. But I'm not delusional in thinking that guy makes our defense relevant again. There is real work to do with this defense. The DL won't make crappy players good players. And I laugh (seriously I do) when I read folks saying that a good DL will shut down the better QB's like Aaron Rodgers every play. No DL shuts down a solid QB every play That is delusional thinking. Will a good DL help our defense? Yes. Is it going to off-set bad players behind them? No. Sorry to burst any bubbles of hope here. But I'm not going to change anyone's mind here. It's just like the Cutler acquisition years ago. People want to believe in fantasy. A team like Seattle is great due to the fact they have ALL of the weapons - balance - and certainly they are more than a great DL. Look at Detroit for an example of a great DL and yet a crappy defense (and team for that matter).
:voodoo: PPL Agree w/this wholeheartedly. If Donald was akin to a Suh the dynamic would be different as far as the draft. Didn't know you had it in ya JABF
This is just another Lions player not getting treated right by the franchise and its new coaching regime b/c he's a Schwartz guy. [sarcasm] I like the stirring of the pot though in the Lions locker room from the rivalry standpoint. This could potentially make him go the Julius Peppers root and limit the number of snaps he gives 110% in hopes of getting traded to get out of the Dirty-D.

Google was number 1 surprise surprise. M$ mad 75 and poor ole Apple didn't make the cut. Best Companies to Work For 2013: Full List - Fortune
I would love to work for google. There European headquarters are in ireland. They are so cool they have a slide inside for workers to use. Also i now someone who works there and he gets loads of free stuff/
I would love to work for the mother ship (Google). Probably would be interesting to say the least. Shout out to Wegmans being #5, representing my home city.
I question this list. Chesapeake Energy at #26? They've dug 12 dry wells here in Colorado and their CEO took out loans for the company behind the boards back. They say they will be another Enron. Not sure how their employees are so happy.
The secret to understanding these lists is in knowing how the data was gathered. Until you do, there will be questions like "how the heck did THAT company make the list?
Its not necesserily a list of the 'Best companies to work for' but a list of where the people think they are working at the best companies to work for. A subtle but substantial difference. Having worked for companies that have made it onto similar lists.. there are 'anonymous' surveys that go are sent to employees of companies that are likely to feature on the list. These are mixed in with numbers like salaries, benefits, training budgets, holidays, staff retention etc... Whilst these survey results are completely anonymous, i did feel a slight conflict of interest when i was selected to fill one in. Not because i felt any intimidation or fear my employer would find out.. but rather because I liked the company. I wanted them to do well. I knew that coming up higher on one of these lists would help our company when bidding for contracts.. etc. I hope I answered truthfully, but my opinions would have been covered by that self interest. Now that effect will apply differently in different companies. I suspect companies like Google will get a bump due to company pride, even if their pay/conditions/benefits are at the highest levels...
The list is "The best companies to work for in 2013." So I just assumed it was a list of the best companies to work for. Like I said, I really need more data before I know. All I can do is go by my personal experiences. For me, the best companies to work for are those that pay on time.
Disagree. I've worked for companies that paid on time but every minute I was there was sheer misery. Literally the worst thing that happened to me every day was that I had to go to work.
All, let's keep the posts civil and on topic. I have had to remove a couple unnecessary posts. Thank you.
I could totally see Google being number 1 and have heard so many good things about working for them. My major makes it highly unlikely for me to work for them but I can still dream
Hmm, I was offered a job at a Kimpton Hotel's restaurant. But, the pay was crap and I didn't care for the chefs. No loss there.
My DOL told me that one student at the sixth form did well, went to uni, again did well.. and got a job working for Google in Geneva. Starting salary? 100K. 0.0
Sarcasm aside. How come Apple is not on the list? They are one of the most successful companies ever. They also have no debts and lots of cash. What is this list based on? Also if you are looking for the best vocation times, education field is a way to go. If you are looking for the best work to salary ratio, nothing can beat government jobs. If you are a family man, stay away from private sector. If you are career oriented, private sector is a way to go.
yes, but what does it mean "best"? top salaries? benefits? most potential? best career? best vocation times? stability? it just does not explain what its based on. Its like saying Ferrari is the best car to own for comfort, offroading and family use.

You are not looking LIVE at the Junge Champions center, but a bunch of guys with TV cameras, myself, the two authors of It, and various other assembled media are. What's below is an attempted CIL of the press conference. Answers will be paraphrased but as accurate as possible; user contributions will be heavily moderated to keep things on topic. If you've got a question to ask, suggest away.
He's crying...+1 for family values!!
But I'm glad that Coach Rod came out and spoke personally about the issue and showed some emotion. It will make for a good counterpoint in news clips to the Free Press slam job...Again, I hate to put it this way, and I do NOT doubt Coach Rod's sincerity (in fact, I'm ready to run through a brick wall for the guy), but when you're in a PR war it's nice to be able to fight fire with fire, i.e., things that appeal to emotion with things that appeal to emotion.
Again, I am not doubting Coach Rod's sincerity. In fact, I wish I could suit up for him on Saturday and run down on the opening kick-off and blast somebody.
anybody have a link for what Rodriguez said?
Did you guys here the end of the video on MGoBlue? Someone was grilling Snyder and he said he didn't want to talk about it. They cut the camera off after a couple questions.
What a coward.
It was B-Money using his sword of justice to defend the honor of all things maize and/or blue
I believe it was Brian who was grilling Snyder.
The two engaged in conversation were off camera, but Snyder was close enough to the mic to be hear responding in an irate manner that he wouldn't answer any questions from
On camera, were two other journalists who, judging by their age, I presume were from the Daily. As Snyder went off on his little hissy-fit, the two guys looked at each other with the type of raised eyebrows one would make while watching a child throw a tantrum.
Just before the camera cut off, Brian entered the frame and was intercepted by the two Daily reporters who wanted to shake his hand.
I can't wait to hear Brian's report.
That whole thing reeked of family values. I am about ready to hop a jet back to AA this sunday so I can catch 8:30 mass with the team
but brian really has an amazing blog. so many people have come to this site it's destroying his server, WOW
that shows mgoblogs stats. i can't find it anymore when mgoblog is in armageddon mode
edit- nvrmind
i have given up all hope and
i have given up all hope and believe all allegations. RR pushed and forced his players into unfair schedules that are clear, concise and irrefutable. i owe this new, eye-opening perspective to the WLA telling me to lie down and accept my fate.
what a fucking joke. i gave them a read and don't plan on going back.
congrats on playing up the "tenacity" and then lying down as soon as rosenberg weaves a story of ambiguities.
even if it IS true, to flat out accept it is with zero corroborating, clear evidence and plenty of open vagueries and potential for player misconception? good god, stop writing a blog.
Thanks for reading!
To be fair, cfaller96 offers up a different (and more in tune with my thinking) take on the situation that you might find more palatable.
After watching that I'm wishing I could suit up for him this Saturday.

Abstract: | Significant variation has been shown to exist between the digestible energy of barley cultivars fed to growing pigs, but due to extensive fermentation in the hind gut, digestible energy measurements may be underestimating the net energy contributions of the animal. To demonstrate the influence of hind gut fermentation on energy digestion in the pig, the ileal diet digestible energy (IDE) and faecal diet digestible energy (FDE) content of diets containing Australian barley cultivars were compared. |

This year's event, organized by Dr. Rob Gerver and Mr. Chuck Wankel (both of whom also performed), was a fundraiser for North Shore's Relay for Life event, which benefits the American Cancer Society. North Shore has been chosen to participate in Optimum's Charity Champions program, and representatives from Optimum were on hand at the event to present a $1000 donation to the cause, as well as $500 in seed money to help with the costs associated with the event. Mr. Kevin Waters presented the checks to Marissa Frank, this year's senior intern for Relay, and Louie Mastakouris, Key Club president. Optimum also sent a crew to interview Relay participants and film some of the performances. As participants in Charity Champions, North Shore will document all fundraising efforts for Relay in an effort to win an additional $5000 donation. Ticket sales from the Acoustic Café brought in over $500 for the Relay donation, giving this year's Relay a grand head start toward meeting its fundraising goals.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is the world's largest and most impactful fundraising event to end cancer. It unites communities across the globe to celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and take action to finish the fight once and for all. Today, with the support of thousands of volunteers like you, the American Cancer Society is helping save more than 400 lives a day. And we won't stop until we finish the fight against cancer! Please join us!

Analysis of individual cone-photoreceptor directionality using scanning laser ophthalmoscopy |
Biomedical Optics Express, Vol. 2, Issue 6, pp. 1423-1431 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1761 KB)
Scanning laser ophthalmoscopy has been used to measure individual cone-photoreceptor directionalities in the living human eye. The directionality is determined at different retinal eccentricities where it is expected that cones have diameters ranging between 5–10μm, comparable to the spot size of the incident beam. Individual cone directionality values are compared with the predicted directionalities obtained by using the waveguide model of light coupling to and from photoreceptors for the case of a focused incident beam.

Alternate title: The Dream Demon
Jemma Redgrave is on the verge of marrying caddish Mark Greenstreet. Spending the night in her spooky old family mansion, Jemma stares into a mirror and begins experiencing terrifying dreams. She sees her past, present and future in a Bosch-like kaleidescope. And without knowing how or why, Jemma drags American tourist Kathleen Wilhoite, herself the victim of a troubled past, into her nightmarish visions. Its powerhouse opening sequence aside, Dream Demon tends to be rather slow going, despite some very convincing special effects. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Coming Soon: Cassie Teeshirts
Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 24th, 2011
In conjunction with the upcoming move of the museum into a larger space (times six), the Cassie teeshirts (on teal) will go on sale this fall.
About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, some say "the" leading. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson's Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman's daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013.

paul u perfect linguist how can u possibly be cyrillic illiterate:D lol looks like u having pretty lovely time over there. have fun;-)
Greetings from Bulgaria
Trip Start
Jan 20, 2008
Trip End
Where I stayed
Once again, working with a computer has left me with a strong urge to destroy something... (a computer would fit the bill nicely) but it isn't my computer, and breaking other peoples' tends to be a distressingly expensive practice. So it's safe for now. For now...
The cause of this annoyance is simply the fact that some benightedly difficult to track down security setting won't allow me to upload any photos to the blog, and I suspect that this will make somewhat dull reading without any photographic accompaniment, but nevertheless, persevere we shall, in the face all all adversity, no matter how trivial ;)
At anyrate, we have now made it to the delightfull little village of Chepelare, in the mountains of Bulgaria. Apparently the elevation here is about 1140m above sea level. The temperature topped out today at a blistering -1 degree Celsius, but it spent a lot of time rather lower than that. Chilly, eh?
The trip from Incheon to Heathrow was pretty long, and pleasantly uneventful. Unfortunately none of the air hostesses had names quite as interesting as "Oi" this time around, but they were just as pretty. We made friends with a young Korean bloke called Jeong on the flight over, and got him to tell us how to say, "thankyou", "you are beautiful" and various other inanities in korean, then enjoyed ourselves enormously trying them out on the hosties. Our pronounciation must've been terrible, but Doug was rewarded with a huge smile from the hosty to whom he said, "Tangshin kepoyoh" (you are beautiful).
Once we got into London we cleared customs with a minimum of fuss, dug out our instructions on how to get to Geoff's brother's (Rob's) house in Twickenham and got busy making our way there. Rob was a top bloke and a great host and put us up for that night and the next one. We spent the following morning playing tourists and strolling around London, then we spent the afternoon playing Australian and sending pints downrange at a pub back in Twickenham.
The next morning saw us get up at a positively ungodly hour to catch our flight from Gatwick to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. Coming into a country that only abandoned communism 15 years ago was a pretty interesting experience. The taxi ride from the airport to the bus station was quite an eyeopener. A lot of the area around the airport resembled nothing so much as a slum. Lean tos, shambles, and small buildings in such disrepair that it was impossible to tell if they were half constructed and abandoned, or half demolished and abandoned. Further into the city, the buildings we bigger, but not in much better condition. Dirty, grimy and dreary spring to mind as suitable descriptions. There was plenty of communist style architecture around, all covered in grey slushy snow, and pretty damn cold too.
Once we got to the bus station we managed through a combination of limited english (theirs), bluff, gesture, persistance and exasperation (ours) to get tickets on a bus that we were almost certain would probably take us to Chepelare, where we were to meet Geoff and his family. The bus left at 1500H and we had been told that it was about a 3hr drive there in a car. Considering that Chepelare is the highest village in Bulgaria, we figured that the trip would have to take a fair bit longer than that.
The first half of the bus trip was pretty uneventful, as we ground our way through gears and the streets of Sofia in roughly equal measure. Once out on the highway, the pace picked up and the grimy houses and factories fell away to reveal open plains covered in yet more snow. Things really only became interesting again when, some hours later, we started to grind our way up into the mountains. Our incredibly talented bus driver found no apparent difficulty in smoking, talking on his mobile, driving the coach up icy, slushy roads with a cliff on one side of the road and certain death on the other and overtaking slow moving things like, um, other cars, all at the same time! Not just once, did he overtake on the outside going up the 60 odd miles of twisty road, but four times. At least! Cool guy.
It occured to us, about 3 hours into the trip, that since almost all of the road signs and other highway signs we had seen were all written in Cyrillic script, we might not actually be able to recognize Chepelare when we got there. After another hour on the bus, we were beginning to seriously wonder if we'd missed our stop, then, finally, I saw a billboard for a hotel in Chepelare, and we knew we had to be close.
Once we'd arrived though, we still had to find a public phone and get a hold of Geoff. The bus dropped us off on a side street with one streetlight and was gone again before we could as any productive questions, like, "where the hell are we?" or, "is there a public phone near here?" or "do you know where the Hotel Karov (where Geoff and his family are living) is?".
Not be put off by the falling snow or the freezing temperature, we resolved to walk around and look for either the Hotel or a phone. We got lucky though, and within the first 300m found a sign that said, "Hotel Karov" 92m with an arrow that completely failed to point to any of the three possible roads at all. Unconcerned, but shivering, we picked the most likely of the three possibilities and struck off confidently. After about a 150m, with no sign of a hotel, we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and keep going for another 150. Still no good. Must've been one of the other roads then, we figured. So we trudged back to the sign and headed off again down a different street, but with the same results. Convinced now, that by simple deductive reasoning, it HAD to be the last street, we forged ahead and found a complete absence of hotel Karov.
At this point, we decided to throw pride to the winds and ask for directions. Finding someone to ask though, was slightly more difficult. Eventually though, we found a couple of people at a tiny little service station who spoke no english, but did recognize Hotel Karov, and one of whom was incredibly generous and communicated through hand signals that he would drive us there. On the way to the hotel, we passed the sign we had fist encountered and went along one the streets we had partially explored, at which point I started feeling a littl embarrassed. Six turns, one bridge and at least 1800m later, my embarrassment had evaporated, and we arrived at the hotel. 92m my arse, mate.
When we got to the hotel, we spoke to the manager, who showed us up the where the wonderful Marsh family was staying. Unfortunately, they weren't in, but the manager called them on his phone and Geoff arrived about ten minutes later to take us in hand.
After that it was all plain sailing really. There's plenty more to the story than has been written here so far, but it can all wait for later, i'm starting to think this must be getting boring. At anyrate, we met Geoff and his family, who have been incredibly generous and welcomed us into their home. We had dinner in a restaurant that night, and then hit the streets to get kitted out for some snowboarding the next morning. Then we managed to hit the slopes for about an hour in the afternoon and came home for another lovely dinner. And that pretty much brings things up to date.
Will try and get the photo issues sorted out as soon as poss.
Take care everyone!
Cheers from Doug and Paul.

Who Cares About Jon and Kate? Apparently, We DoWhy do tabloid stories grab our interest when history is happening in Iran?
June 24, 2009 - 3:07 am
Whether it's reading the tabloids, scouring gossip blogs, or watching reality shows, there's an obsession with the lives of others that some of us find alarming but many find enjoyable. But what's in it for the people who enjoy it? What do they get out of peering into the world of celebrities? I asked several gossip-hunters what attracts them to the world of celebrity exploits. Their responses:
"It's the antithesis of what my life is now or ever will be so I use it as a break from real life. It's a lot like watching a television series, only not scripted, at least not as thoroughly. Half the fun is guessing how much of the information is true and what the next story will be."
"I think the reason that people glom onto celebrity trash is because celebs don't seem like real people, and because the larger more pressing world problems can seem too big. Ultimately the Jon and Kate dilemma affects ten people only, and no one is calling on us sedentary Americans to do anything about it."
"I think it keeps us from gossiping about the people we know."
The last comment is a very popular sentiment among the tabloid viewers; they can talk about people, but not gossip. They're not whispering to friends about coworkers, they're whispering to their coworkers about celebrities and reality show contestants — people whose lives will not be impacted by a few snide comments at the office water cooler. It's a shared interest. In much the same way people gather to talk about sports or politics, the tabloid lovers gather to talk about what happened last night on Rock of Love or the latest story Nancy Grace is exploiting.
The media is only putting out there what people are viewing and reading. If everyone stopped watching TMZ or Nancy Grace overnight, their shows would be gone. But people love this stuff. Take Jon and Kate for instance. The ratings of Jon & Kate Plus 8 rose as their marriage fell apart. The more volatile their relationship, the more they fought, the more people tuned in. That a failing marriage and the exploitation of eight young children makes for spectacular ratings says a few things about us: We are voyeurs. We are bored. We need a break from reality. Our lives are empty. Our lives are too full. We are easily entertained. We have nothing else to entertain us. We have on blinders. We want to see everything. We live through the experiences of others. We are experiencing too much.
There are myriad reasons people watch and read tabloid news. Whatever the reasons, they are watching it in droves. We can sit back and blame the media for forcing this on us and shoving it in our faces on a daily basis, or we can blame the people who buy The Star and watch Nancy Grace and The Bachelor.
Or we go about our business and recognize that we live in an age where we know, by choice or immersion, more about the divorce of a couple from Pennsylvania than we know about our own relatives.
Either way, it's our choice to learn and read about the things we think are important, even if the mainstream media doesn't put it on the plate for us. There's a revolution happening, and I don't mean the one airing on TLC on Monday nights.
The media doesn't tell us what to watch; it gives us what we want to watch. In a time when print newspapers are going the way of the dinosaur, many of them are surviving by turning their front page into replicas of The Star, knowing that the latest news of Jon and Kate or Brad and Angelina will have those papers flying off the shelves.
Protests in Iran do not sell papers; protestations of infidelity do.

Oprah Gives Audience Trip to Australia in Last Season Premiere
"Because, after all, this really is my 25th season and this is really my last chance to do something really big," she explained, The New York Daily News reports.
There will be two episodes of 'Oprah's Ultimate Australian Adventure,' which will feature O's biggest fans down under, in places like the Sydney Opera House. The trip will happen this coming December.
"It's one of the places I've always wanted to visit, and who better to take with me on this trip of a lifetime than some of my most loyal viewers. My team has been planning this trip for almost a year and we are so excited," Oprah said in a statement.
After airing, Oprah tweeted that she was pleased no one let the news leak. "Audience -- it's unbelievable that you kept that secret all weekend!! Way to go mates," she wrote.
Meanwhile, she kicked off her first show with John Travolta, one of her favorite guests throughout the years. (Travolta showed up again at the end of the episode as the "pilot" of the plane to Australia.)
Don Johnson even made a special appearance. Oprah tried to get the formed 'Miami Vice' star on her first episode ever, even bribing him with rhinestone sunglasses to entice him to come. Unfortunately he couldn't make it then. But this time, he gave the glasses back to Winfrey.
Producers managed to finally surprise Oprah herself with a performance by Paul Simon, which brought her to tears.
Don't worry, Oprah isn't leaving your TV for good -- despite abandoning 'Oprah' after 25 years. In 2011, OWN -- The Oprah Winfrey Network will feature a different kind of talk show from the queen of daytime television.

I love Oprah. She single-handedly did away with the plethora of Jerry Springer-like talk shows and created something meaningful. But, if her new venture is anything like the trash shown on the Oxygen network, her days in the sun are over. Honestly, how could she lend her name to shows that showcase the worst of female depravity? And, I understand she's planning a show with Rosie. God save us from that bitter lesbian. Raise your standards again, Oprah.

She has the money. Money doesn't buy happiness. Money buys false friends. Money is the root of all evil.

Please quote the bible correctly. If you're going to quote scriptures, it is "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." Not money, but the love of it. We all need money to live. Just because someone has more of it than others doesn't make it evil. It's when we worship the money.

I was told to share with everyone on here who has not received an item from anyone you paid with paypal to "file a claim" asap. To do this go to your paypal account and click on the transaction details and at the bottom you will see a link to file a claim and dispute. Fill it in. After the process completes (apx. 10 days) you should receive your refund from PAYPAL, and as for any fraudsters...the department tells me: "they are creatures of habit, and it does catch up to them"

The Dreaded Business Trip!!!!

Friday, January 11, 2013
Next week I'll have a career first -- attending a conference.
I have to say I'm more than a little nervous about being out of my element for 5 days. I'm also nervous about rubbing elbows with the execs, travelling with Coworker who annoys me (yes, the same one who called me anorexic), and giving a presentation in front of my peers.
The hotel they've booked us in has a small fitness center and a pool that's open for odd spurts of time throughout the day. There's also a Whole Foods 1 mile from the hotel.
The preliminary plan is to:
-Alternate treadmill & elliptical workouts daily
-Continue my 4-day ST split with barbell and bodyweight exercises
**if it's uncomfortable to complete ST in fitness center, do exercises in room
-Try a swimming workout (only if I can put on my bathingsuit without it being weird)
-Limit eating out as much as possible
-At restaurants, order something healthy but satisfying.. try to order fish whenever possible (because it's healthy but pricey--and I'm not paying!! lol)
-If breakfast provided at hotel is not up to snuff, stock up on items at Whole Foods (yogurt, kefir, fruits, oatmeal, frozen meals)
-For lunches in cafeteria, choose fresh fruits and veggies whenever possible
-Only 1 night of drinking, and limit to 3 drinks
-Enjoy the walking tour, and try to recruit others to walk around city as much as possible.
This week I've been allowing more comfort foods than I should. I've had drive-thru breakfast twice (womp) and have partaken in late-night cereal munching (womp womp). Maybe I'll be so motivated to get away from Coworker that I'll spend all my time in the fitness center!! Even better, maybe one of the other attendees will want to join me for a workout.
If you have any healthy traveling tips, I'd love to hear them!!

I go to a conference for work every January and kind of have it down to a science, at this point.
Here are a few things I use:
When I travel those envelopes of tuna are lifesavers for me. I bring 'em everywhere to add to salads etc. and make sure I get my protein in.
Also, I really like the EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control whey shakes. I carry a couple in my bag and drink them instead of eating the cookies during coffee breaks.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Sounds like a great plan. Let us know how it goes.

I'm headed to a conference in a couple of weeks. A couple of things I'll make sure to bring (and have brought on trips in the past) are my resistance bands and my balance ball & pump. That way, I'm able to get my strength training done in the room and so I don't have to depend on the workout room.
Also, make sure to check on the hours of operation for the workout room. I found that at most of my conferences, the hours don't work for me, because I usually have breakfast meetings at those kind of events, and things don't end until late in the evening. The other thing to keep in mind is that most hotel pools are NOT designed for laps if that's what you're into.
Hang in there when it comes to the co-worker, and try to enjoy yourself the best you can!

Avoid the negative coworker. I know you'll do fine with the plan and the presentation. Enjoy the trip.

You've really thought about the challenges this trip will bring and have come up with a good plan to help yourself stay on track. Great job! Try to have fun on the trip!
Report Inappropriate Comment
You have a really great plan!
They usually have oatmeal, cereal and fruit for breakfast. Take some of the breakfast items as a snack. I usually grab an apple and a banana from the breakfast area to have as snacks later in the day. Some hotels offer a breakfast to-go bag (water, fruit and a granola bar) which is nice. It is hard to limit eating out, especially if you are supposed to rub elbows then. Eat very slowly, especially if you're "watching" the conversation more than participating (happens a lot when there are multiple alpha-males present). Switch out the fries for a salad, eat more veggies etc. You'll do great!

What a great plan! I really don't have anything to add...for me business travel gets the best of me when I somehow convince myself that it is "special" and therefore somehow okay to break the rules. But you're not on vacay you're on business, just keep telling yourself that. And of course, if you have access in the evenings, etc. keep up with Spark!

Great to have a plan going in! The challenge for me in situations like that is that there tends to be a big pastry table every morning...just make sure you eat breakfast before you go to your first meeting!
Report Inappropriate Comment
I think you have a great plan! I either ran outside (if I was in a good well-lit area) or used the fitness center when I was out of town. I've worked out in my room, too, but be careful about noise! Some times I stock up at the grocery store (assuming I have a fridge) or I just make healthy choices when I can. Even in a cafeteria, this shouldn't be a problem! Have fun and stick to you plan!

You've got a great plan. I know you can do it!

It sounds like you've planned it perfectly! What a great idea too, because eating badly or missing workouts are always because of lack of planning. For me, anyway.
Maybe you should try and get your coworker to come work out with you. So she'll understand the draw of healthy living

plone.app.imagecropping 0.1rc2
allows images to be manually cropped using JCrop JS library
Latest Version: 1.2
There has been a need for cropping for a long time and there are lots of addons around that have different ways to achieve this.
There is plip #10174 asking for adding image cropping to plone core which recently got rejected by the FWT. The cropping functionality should go into an addon first that also work for dexterity and can be pliped into core.
This package aims to be THE cropping solution for plone that just works TM.
Why do I need this?
Automatic cropping is already possible, plone.app.imaging does already handle this via the direction parameter:
<img tal:define="scales context/@@images" tal:replace="structure python: scales.tag('image', width=1200, height=800, direction='down')" />
However it only crops from the top/center of the image, so in some ocasions this is not what you want.
plone.app.imagecropping allows you to select the cropping area manually for each available image scale using the JCrop editor
How it works
There is a view @@croppingeditor available for every content type implementing IImageCropping via an object action.
The Interface is implemented by default for ATImage and plone.app.contenttypes image.
The editor view shows at maximum three columns:
- Image Fields column (only visible when more than one image field is available)
- Image scales column (only visible when more than one scale is available)
- Cropping editor column
The aspect ratio for the cropping area in JCrop editor is automatically set to the image scale selected by the user.
The image stored for this scale gets replaced with the cropped and scaled version. This way you can access them as you're used to. For example:
<img tal:replace="structure context/@@images/image/mini" />
This also enables support for richtext editors such as TinyMCE to insert cropped scales into a textfield.
In TinyMCE it will be possible to access the cropping editor directly out of the image plugin right below the scale selection
Load editor as overlay
The editor can also be loaded as an overlay anywhere. Just place a link to the @@croppingeditor url of an image (<image_base_url>/@@croppingeditor) and add some javascript. For example:
(function($) { $(function() { $("a[href$='@@croppingeditor']").prepOverlay({ subtype:'ajax', formselector:'#coords', closeselector:"input[name='form.button.Cancel']" }) $(document).bind("formOverlayLoadSuccess", function() { imagecropping.init_editor(); }) }) })(jQuery);
A Configlet is registered in Plone Site Setup. There you can adjust the maximum Size of the jCrop Editor Image (large_size) and the minimum selectable size of the cropped area (min_size).
You can also set those values in the profile of your (policy)product using p.a.registry mechanism (registry.xml):
<registry> <records interface="plone.app.imagecropping.browser.settings.ISettings"> <value key="large_size">500:500</value> <value key="min_size">10:10</value> </records> </registry>
Design decisions
- make this package as minimally invasive as possible
- therefore we store the cropped image immediately, so plone.app.imaging traverser doesn't need to care about cropping
- users can access cropped images the same way as the access scales (so it works in richtext editors too)
- support archetypes and dexterity content (XXX limitation for dexterity: this will only work for images in AttributeStorage)
- a cropped image gets stored instead of the scaled image. if you want back the uncropped image scale you'll need to remove the cropped version in the editor
Possible extensions / changes for the future
- allow to mark scales as auto-croppable in the plone.app.imaging controlpanel. this enables cropped scales w/o manually defining the cropping area but would require some changes in plone.app.imaging (extend traverser, change controlpanel)

If there was any doubt that the move to de-fund local Planned Parenthood clinics is about nothing but ideology, one county commissioner removed it when he proposed refusing to continue a $5000.00 grant to the local affiliate to support needed health services for women.
Just because.
Via The Post Independent:
"This is one that I just have to take a stand on," Commission Chairman John Martin said in calling into question a continued Planned Parenthood grant that was recommended by the county's Human Services Commission.
"They're a big national organization, and I think they have enough outside resources without using money that could benefit some of the local organizations whose budgets are smaller," Martin said. "I understand they do a good job … this is not an insult. I just think they need to stand on their own."
According to the report, every other grant requested was financed, to a total of over $400,000.
Martin, a Republican, already made news last year for supporting the idea of opening the meetings with a prayer, according to the Colorado Independent. The prayer proposal was pitched by fellow commissioner Mike Samson, who provided the other vote to refuse funding. Commissioner Tom Jankovsky was the sole vote to continue to provide the funds, despite Jankovsky's opposition to the grant during a six-member review prior to the vote.
John Stroud reports that the $5000.00, which was approximately 5 percent of the health center's local budget, will be kept on reserve by the commission for "additional human service grant requests" that might come in during 2013.

Formulation, in vitro release and transdermal diffusion of salicylic acid and topical niacinamide / by Sarita Jacobs
Jacobs, Sarita
Acne affects as many as 80% of young adults and adolescents all over the world. This detrimental condition can be classified into four stages: (a) open comedo (blackhead), (b) closed comedo (whitehead), (c) papule and (d) pustule (Russell, 2000:357-366). There are various factors that can lead to acne outbreaks which include: (a) hormone level changes during the menstrual cycle in women, (b) certain drugs (i.e. lithium), (c) certain cosmetics and (d) environmental conditions such as humidity (University of Maryland, 2009:1). The skin performs a variety of functions which include the two major functions: (a) the containment and (b) the protection of the internal organs of the body. The containment function relates specifically to the ability of the skin to confine the underlying tissues and restrain their movement from place to place. The protective function, on the other hand, relates to the ability of the skin to act as a microbiological barrier to most micro-organisms; a chemical barrier to exogenous chemical compounds; barrier to radiation and electrical shock; and mechanical barrier to impact (Danckwerts, 1991:315). Niacinamide and salicylic acid were chosen in combination, due to the beneficial effects that they have on acne. Niacinamide has an anti-inflammatory action on acne; which reduces redness, dryness and irritation caused by Propioni-bacterium acnes that live in the clogged pores of pimples (Acnetreatmentlab, 2008:1). Salicylic acid is a keratolytic and keratoplastic agent. It is used in combination with other ingredients to enhance the shedding of corneocytes. This causes penetration into the skin to be very difficult (SAMF, 2005:177). The solubility of niacinamide and salicylic acid in PBS (pH 7.4 at 32°C) were 212.95 mg/ml and 4.07 mg/ml, respectively. The log D values of niacinamide and salicylic acid were determined to be -0.32 and 0.33, respectively. According to the solubility of niacinamide and salicylic acid it was expected that both of the active ingredients would permeate through the skin. However, it is expected that niacinamide will depict enhanced permeation with respect to salicylic acid. The results of the log D for both of the active ingredients indicate that there would not be optimal permeation. This study involved the formulation of four different acne preparations (Pheroid™cream, Pheroid™gel, cream and gel), combining niacinamide and salicylic acid. The evaluation of stability parameters for the different formulations indicated that none of the formulations was stable under the different storage conditions determined by the Medicines Control Council. Nevertheless, the cream and gel were the most stable of the four formulations. Visual assessment of the Pheroid™ formulations with the confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLMS) was conducted and inconclusive evidence to whether the active substances were entrapped within the Pheroids™, was obtained. Franz cell diffusion studies indicated that the cream (in the case of niacinamide) and gel (in the case of salicylic acid) depicted the highest average and median flux from hours 6 to 12. Results of the tape stripping studies showed that with the gel formulation, concentrations of 2.060 ug/ml and 44.749 ug/ml niacinamide were obtained in the epidermis and dermis respectively. After the Pheroid™ gel was applied, tape stripping depicted only 1.587 ug/ml niacinamide in the epidermis with respect to 22.764 ug/ml niacinamide in the dermis. The cream formulation, on the other hand, showed niacinamide concentrations of 2.001 ug/ml in the epidermis and 13.363 ug/ml in the dermis, whereas with the Pheroid™ cream formulation, concentrations of 1.097 ug/ml and 18.061 ug/ml were obtained in the epidermis and dermis respectively. Tape stripping results depicted that with the gel formulation, concentrations of 2.113 ug/ml and 49.519 ug/ml salicylic acid were obtained in the epidermis and dermis respectively, whereas the Pheroid™ gel formulation showed salicylic acid, concentrations of 1.114 ug/ml in the epidermis and 95.360 ug/ml in the dermis. The cream formulation, however, depicted salicylic acid concentrations of 0.758 ug/ml in the epidermis and 44.729 ug/ml in the dermis. Lastly, after the Pheroid™ cream was applied, salicylic acid concentrations of 0.411 ug/ml and 48.424 ug/ml in the epidermis and dermis respectively, were measured. It could, therefore, be concluded that both niacinamide and salicylic acid tend to concentrate more in the dermis, irrespective of the formulation. This may be an advantage since acne is usually targeted in the dermis and epidermis.

Comments about Rocktron Zombie Rectified Distortion Pedal:
I've had this pedal for a while and love the sound that comes out of it. I'm gonna be honest and say that this sounds great through a tube amp but not so great through solidstate. Nice and bright red light to tell which channel your on, and built like a tank spray with rhino liner. Only thing else you might need depending on the volume you play at would be the Rocktron hush pedal which is also amazing.
