I'm a complete Noob and can only offer a link to info from a well respected person but when i saw your thread i remembered i had read something about that somewhere and the 3rd post in InTheGarden's http://forum.grassci...-beginners.html thread she explains a bit about re-using our awesome soil hope that helps a bit
Posted 23 December 2012 - 06:07 PM
Credit goes to ITG on this one. Just thought I'd save some people some foot work.
Re-using Your Organic Soil
Organic soil can be re-used over and over again. In fact, the soil actually gets better as it ages! Organic amendments take a long time to break down-definitely longer than a single grow cycle and years in some cases. You can even re-use the soil without adding any extra amendments. A plant only uses a small amount of the nutrition available in an organic soil, so remember that there's still a lot of good stuff in there. Soil can be used for several grow cycles without any additional amendments-you can grow for years without re-amending it. Also, if your garden is no-till, then you wouldn't follow this re-amending procedure. Just top-dress with some extra "goodies" every so often.
It's important to note that re-amending your organic soil is an art, not a science. While the recommendations I've made below are good, your soil may need something a little different. If your plant showed any kind of deficiencies, you'll need to amend the soil to correct for those now. Ultimately you should trust your gut and go with what you think is best over following a prescribed formula. The only thing you should absolutely add more of is your humus, and then any extra aeration amendment needed to offset the additional humus.
I like to lightly re-amend after each grow cycle or two to keep a steady supply of amendments in multiple stages of decomposition. After harvesting, pull out the root balls and soil and dump them in a large container. Use a shovel to chop up the roots as best you can (don't sweat over this). If you shake the soil off the root balls, then allow them to dry out for a day or two, they will break up pretty easily. Then add the root balls and old soil to some new soil or just use as-is if you don't have any new soil.
-additional humus (ewc and/or compost) at the rate of 1 part humus to 4 parts old soil.
-additional aeration amendment: add about half as much additional aeration amendment as you do additional humus (so if you add 4 gallons of compost/ewc, add 2 gallons of aeration amendment). You may need to add more to keep the level of aeration amendment consistent with that of the original soil-go with what you think is best.
-kelp meal: 1 cup per cubic foot of soil.
-dry organic fertilizer: about 1/4-1/2 cup per cubic foot.
-liming amendment: approximately 1/4 cup liming amendment per cubic foot of soil
If you amend soil this lightly, you don't have to let it sit and cycle (cook) before using it again-just toss a new plant right in. However, if you add any "extra" amendments or more than about 1/2 cup per cubic foot of the dry organic fertilizer, you will need to let it cook for 2-4 weeks before re-using it.
At this point you can also add any new "extra" amendments that you want to add. I would recommend adding about 1-1.5 cups total of additional amendments. Remember that if you add "extra" amendments you will need to allow the soil another 2-4 weeks of cycling (cooking) to give those amendments time to break down.
Let's say that you started with the base soil amended with only kelp meal and dry organic fertilizer, and now you want to several "extra" amendments (or just one, whatever you like). Make a blend of all the amendments you want to add, using equal portions of all amendments with a double portion of kelp meal. Now add 1-1.5 cups of this mix to your organic soil and allow to cycle for 2-4 weeks, or more (the longer the better).
(in progress, thanks for being so patient guys!)

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- One of the oldest bromides in sports, if not life, is that it's not how you start, it's how you finish, which made it difficult to pass judgment on Johnny Manziel's performance in Texas A&M's 52-31 romp over Rice at Kyle Field.
Johnny Football didn't start, and he didn't finish.
This is not a plan for winning another Heisman, and it's not good for a seventh-ranked team's national title aspirations, either.
Of course, that's only the way A&M coaches and officials look at it.
Johnny Football, his teammates and fans appear to have a much different view.
Manziel sat out the first half as part of the NCAA's attempt to save face with the silliest penalty since he last stood in a corner. When he finally got into the game in the second half, he was all over the place.
Or as Manziel's coach, Kevin Sumlin, summed up his quarterback's half-day of work:
"Missed a read, couple touchdown drives, couple scrambles, and a foolish penalty at the end."
On one hand, it might seem telling that Sumlin broached the subject of an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Manziel before he was even asked. He'd already made his feelings public, at that.
As Manziel came off the field after getting into a little trash talk with Rice's Malcolm Hill of Frisco Liberty, earning a flag for his efforts, ESPN's sideline reporter, Mark Schwarz, heard Sumlin tell Manziel, "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
Considering how Sumlin ranked the comment, then, I'm sorry to report we never found out exactly what Manziel said. Sumlin wasn't saying, Manziel wasn't talking, and Hill wasn't available.
Whether Sumlin's anger was directed at what Manziel said, or the fact that he said it in the face of an official, I couldn't say. But he wasn't happy.
And that was before Sumlin found out after the game that Manziel, reacting to another Rice player earlier, appeared to mime signing an autograph.
Sumlin didn't see the irony.
"No matter what the comments are, he's going to face that every week, with people chirpin'," he said. "That's not OK. I obviously addressed that on the sideline immediately after the play.
"That's something he's going to have to deal with every week."
If an opponent thinks he can provoke a reaction from Manziel that might draw a penalty, he'll say things that would make Miley Cyrus blush.
Sumlin might have been a little perturbed, too, by the number of players he had available for Rice. A&M announced before the game that four more players were suspended for the first two games. Losing so many players before, during, and after the opener because a team in the conversation about a national title can't stay focused on the task at hand bothers Sumlin. What makes it worse is when one of those players is his best one. It sends a message. So Sumlin sent one, too.
Manziel didn't go back into the game after the penalty. Sumlin could have simply said it was hot, late and time to give Matt Joeckel a few more snaps after a fine first half.
But when asked if he planned on taking Manziel out of the game before the penalty, Sumlin paused.
"Nope," he said, finally.
Sumlin might not have been so inclined to send a message if he didn't have a big lead, or the team on the other sideline had been Alabama. But he said all the right things Saturday. He talked about how selfish acts by individuals hurt a team. He talked about how his young team needs to mature. He talked about how it was the job of the coaches to make that happen.
He said Manziel told his teammates all of the above in his apology Friday.
But did they get the message?
Not judging by what happened Saturday, during the game or after.
Asked if he thought Manziel's personality on the field was an issue, Ben Malena said, "He's not quiet. He's not shy. He's gonna be aggressive, loud. That's what makes him Johnny Football. We love it."
Toney Hurd -- who said he thought Manziel had "nice swag" Saturday -- was blunt.
"We got the W," he said. "That's what really matters in the end."
It may take some time before Sumlin's message sinks in, at that.

UK court rules against euthanasia
Saturday - 8/3/2013, 4:16pm EDT
AP Medical Writer
LONDON (AP) -- A British appeals court upheld a law against euthanasia in rejecting appeals from two severely disabled men who argued that doctors should be allowed to legally kill them.
The two men -- one of whom died of pneumonia last year -- claimed their right to "private and family life" as guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights was being violated since they were not allowed to choose how and when they wanted to die.
In a judgment issued on Wednesday, the Court of Appeal acknowledged the current law interferes with that right but ruled the ban on euthanasia is justified. It upheld a decision by the High Court last year that any changes to the euthanasia law must be made by politicians, not judges.
In a unanimous ruling, the judges said the two men had "permanent and catastrophic physical disabilities" but said the issue of euthanasia "raises profoundly sensitive questions about the nature of our society." The judges wrote that "Parliament represents the conscience of the nation" and said the court had no jurisdiction to challenge the legal ban on euthanasia.
"I am absolutely gutted," said Paul Lamb, one of the men involved, who was severely paralyzed after a car accident.
"I was hoping for a humane and dignified end," Lamb said in a statement. "This judgment does not give me that."
Lamb said he would carry on with the legal fight for euthanasia. His lawyer said they were considering options for appealing the case to the Supreme Court, together with the widow of the other man in the case, Tony Nicklinson.
In a related case, the court ruled that an appeal by another disabled man to clarify who will be allowed to help people commit suicide, should be allowed. At the moment, the Crown Prosecution Service does not prosecute close family and friends if they help loved ones travel abroad to commit suicide as long as they act in good faith.
There is no such provision for doctors or nurses, for whom it is illegal to help or even provide medical records for patients if they suspect they may want to go abroad for assisted dying. Lawyers for a man known only as Martin argued the policy was "defective" in failing to outline cases where health care professionals might be allowed to help their patients die. Martin's family wants no involvement in his suicide.
In its ruling, the court said that while it was impossible to guarantee immunity for a health care professional who helps someone commit suicide, the current policy should be amended to be more precise.
Keir Starmer, director of public prosecutions, said it would be sensible to have the advice of the Supreme Court before any amendments are made to the guidelines. His office is appealing the decision to the Supreme Court.
In Europe, euthanasia is allowed in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
Assisted suicide is usually for people who have at least some capacity to kill themselves, perhaps by drinking a lethal beverage or taking a fatal dose of drugs. It is legal in Switzerland, the only European country that allows foreigners to travel there to die.

I have an original AAMCO (or is it AMCO?) center armrest console that was an aftermarket option for the early B's (includes rear speaker). I have it in my 66 that I'm rebuilding (web site soon to follow). Anyway, I'd like to replace the existing center console (the one with the metal weave look), with one from the an early 70's model, and move the radio to it and have fresh air vents in the dash.
Does anyone know if the later consoles will fit this aftermarket center armrest?

New England -14 over San Diego
I don't know where to start with the Chargers. Last week they played great when Rivers and LT went down, but that was in a dome against a defense that was getting tired. Today they will be in frigid weather playing against the best team in NFL history. We all know New England has to win this game. Its bad for NFL marketing not to have the Patriots in the Super Bowl after this magical season. The Chargers might be without their big NT Jamaal Williams and if not he is not going to be 100%. I look for the Pats to run the ball well in addition to the passing game. Billy Volek will probably start today for the Chargers. If New England gets a big lead LT will be useless and in this weather it could be ugly. The Patriots have not covered a lot while San Diego has covered 8 in a row. Its time for that streak to end. Take New England
Giants +7.5 over Packers
I would not call it an upset if NY won this game, but nobody is give this team a shot. There is something about this team that wont quit and can play from behind. Tom Coughlin looks like one miserable dude, but he has changed his ways with his players and all of a sudden this years team is playing with fire. This Giants team has a lot of guys hungry for a super bowl ring while the Packers are still a young team and have time to grow. Eli Manning has matured a great deal and the running game has been awesome. This Giants team is also protecting the football. The conditions in this game will be very windy which is good for the Giants because Favre struggles in high winds, remember the Chicago game this year? It would be great to see Favre vs Brady in the Super Bowl and it would be the highest rated Super Bowl ever which is great for the NFL, but New York is a high market team and would bring a lot of viewers also. This spread is a little high. Take the GMen.

ACC action this afternoon, and we will ride the home-loving Demon Deacons over the slumping Seminoles of Florida State.
Florida State has lost their last pair in conference action, dropping an overtime game at Clemson, and collopsing at home against Duke earlier this week. Overall, the Seminoles have failed 3 in a row against the spread, and are just 3-5 both straight up and against the spread on the highway this year.
Wake Forest has also lost their last pair of games, but both games came on the road, at home the Deacons are a perfect 10-0 straight up this year, 14 in a row dating back to last year, and they have covered in 3 of 4 lined home games this season.
We will stick with those positive Wake trends and go with the Demon Deacons in this one, as they seek revenge for a 2006 home loss at the hands of Florida State.
Play on Wake.

double-dime bet St. Louis -1.0 vs Temple
Analysis: NCAAB: Temple Owls at Saint Louis Billikens | Unit Value: 2 DIMES
Note: The Billikens were a scary proposition early in the year as they were getting accustomed to what new Head Coach Rick Majerus had in store for them. They still have a lot to learn and one of those is being able to compete away from the Gateway City, but here they have found a way to get it done. He had this to say following the Dayton OT loss, "They try to please me to a fault, so they get kind of apprehensive. Some of the guys are so smart that they try to quantify decisions. Remember, everyone is a freshman out there. This is their first year (playing in this system). I'm trying to get them to be more assertive." That game was very important for this team despite losing and it all came together with a strong performance beating Rhode Island. They held the visitors to just 34.3 percent from the field, 15 percentage points below their season average. In SLU's past seven games, the best an opponent has shot is 43.8 percent. In four of those seven games, the opponent has shot 40 percent or worse. They will have another test today with hot shooting Temple in town. The Owls are coming off their biggest win of the season, beating Xavier but it is back on the road where they have had some problems this year themselves, with just a 3-6 mark and much less offensive performance. St Louis is very physical and very aggressive on D, utilizing a strong man to man defense. It will be somewhat of a different scenerio today with the Owls being more of a perimiter team and frankly I think a better one. Temple is going to be hawked all game, as their will be no chance for zone passing. The Billikens matchup well with Temple because they will not be outmanned on the boards, a problem they have experienced many times this year. They will get some re-ups and they will be able to limit those by the visitors. That is what makes the Rhode Island win so impressive, because matchup-wise, they did not have the horses in that game. They do in this one and momentum should carry over for us with another solid performance.

4-Unit Play. #815 Take Michigan State +1 over Minnesota
We cashed a 5-unit play with Indiana over the Gophers on Thursday, and we see the Spartans doing the same on the road. Tom Izzo's teams are well schooled on the glass, and they'll win that battle down low, as well as getting a stronger effort from their perimeter players. As a whole, Michigan State should be favored in this spot, as Minnesota has yet to prove they can knock off a legit team. It's the Spartans that cash in this Big Ten tilt
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Lock Of The Month:
Patriots/Chargers OVER 46
Very surprising that we get such a generous pointspread here. This game will be HIGH SCORING for sure, but first, let's analyze the weather.There will be no snow, no rain! The high will be 21 degrees, clear skies,very slight wind. Perfect day for football! Do you think the Patriots will throw the ball? YES!! New England will throw the ball ALL GAME long.This is the BEST offense in the history of the game. Tom Brady is incredibly accurate. Randy Moss is the best receiver in football. Wes Welker is the most reliable receiver in football. The Pats will throw some screen passes to Lawrence Maroney that will result in some big plays. Brady will get this team in the endzone OFTEN! The Patriots offense is UNSTOPPABLE! The Chargers defense is tired. That Colts game was a hard-hitting war! And the Tennessee playoff game was also very physical. San Diego's defense will get pushed around all game long. Remember, this is the same defense that the Vikings and Chiefs lit up!! The Chargers play their third tough playoff game in a row, all the way across the country, in freezing cold weather. The Patriots' offense could score 46 by themselves! San Diego does have LaDanian Tomlinson. If the Chargers get far behind, they will be forced to throw the ball. As for Phillip Rivers, he might throw three TDs and keep the Chargers close, or he might throw three costly interceptions. Either way, this game goes OVER!
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Drew Gordon
1. 300,000* Chargers
1. Chargers- Several factors have me liking the Chargers in this one, but let's start with the fact that clearly oddsmakers have caught upto the Patriots, who are just 2-7 ATS over their last 9 games. Although undefeated SU, they've become too expensive to even consider backing over the last 2 months or so, and that couldn't be more true in today's AFC Championshio game. Why? Because San Diego is not the same team they were in Week 2, plain and simple.
The Chargers meanwhile, have won and covered 8 straight games, looking like a team peaking at precisely the right time. Say what you will about their Week 2 loss at New England, but their win last week at Indinapolis should've erased any doubts you had in this Chargers team's ability to win on the road.
So how do they do it? First things first, this San Diego team is led by their defense, which has been outstanding. Over their last 3 games, the Chargers are allowing 15 ppg on 336 total yards! More importantly, they possess the two things necessary to at least fluster Tom Brady: A. rock-solid cover corners (Jammer and Cromartie) and B. as good and aggressive a front 7 as there is the NFL today.
Of course the injuries were a concern early this week, but Tomlinson is going to play, and it looks increasingly like Rivers will play as well. But an even more important factor maybe the weather, which is not conducive to the Pats high-octane passing attack. Its going to be cold, and winds are expected to be around 15-20 miles per hour, which immediately points to a lower scoring defensive affair. Of course, New England will score points, but with San Diego being spotted this many, you're talking about beating one of the best defenses in the NFL consistently in lousy weather.
Bottom line, New England will likely win this game, but one of the hardest things to do in the NFL is beat a team you've seen already once this season soundly. Its the very reason rivalry games are usually so close, because teams are familiar with each others players and schemes. Based on the factors listed above, I'm calling for San Diego to keep this game within the number, using their defense and running game to control the tempo and grab the cash this afternoon.
Take the Chargers plus the points over the Patriots as your top-rated play of the day.
Tonight's Games
1. 50,000* Packers
2. 50,000* Oregon
1. Packers- Everyone's cinderella comes to Lambeau tonight, but the fairytale ends there, as I expect the Pack to lay down the law and end the Giants season with a solid home win and cover in this one. When people say: "Beating Favre at Lambeau in the cold is nearly impossible" they're speaking more truth than they know, as he's 19-4-3 ATS at home from December onwards (when facing an opponent of a win) in his career! More of the same tonight and here's why:
First and foremost, you saw the difference Ryan Grant makes to this Packers offense. His ability to burst through the hole gives this Green Bay team a dimension they haven't had in a long time, and thanks to that, defenses can no longer key on Favre. His 201 rushing yards and 3 TD effort against Seattle was one of the most dominating rushing performances I've seen in recent playoff history. Sure, the Giants are excellent at pressuring the quarterback, but when you go all out for the sack, you leave running lanes wide open... Remember that when you're watching Grant streak down the sideline.
Speaking of defense, while the Giants are good at one or two aspects, the Green Bay defense is the more balanced unit. Both teams are allowing around 22 ppg over thier last 3 games, but the big difference here is total yards: New York 332 yards per game, Green Bay 244 yards per game... Needless to say, that's a large gap between these two stop-units.
Finally, while winning on the road has been the Giants specialty, this is their 6th road game in 8 weeks, and eventually we can count on Manning to screw this thing up. Say what you will, but I just don't trust the Giants signal caller in the biggest game of his career, in the cold, and against this defense. On the other side of the ball, Ryan Grant continues to add to his surprising breakout season with another solid effort complementing Favre in this one. In the end, Packers roll!
Take the Packers comfortably over the NY Giants in tonight's NFC Championship Game.
2. Oregon- This is your classic offense vs. defense showdown, and in this case, I'm siding with the more offensive Ducks in this one. Why? Because although the Cougars are downright nasty at home on defense, the Ducks have the weapons necessary to keep this game closer than expected. Let me explain...
Because of the injuries to their frontline, the Ducks use a guard-heavy rotation (along with F Leunan), to force teams into a more up-tempo game. Ducks are averaging 81 ppg on an outstanding 49% shooting this season, and while they won't get anywhere near those numbers tonight, they can and will keep this game within the number.Oregon's biggest edge comes in their excellent perimeter play, led by sharp-shooter Malik Hairston (54% from field, 48% from 3-point), this Ducks team can bury you from the perimeter... Even their one true frontcourt threat, 6'9 F Leunen, can bury the 3-pointer (50% from beyond the arc). They'll have to deal with a solid Cougars backcourt, but make no mistake, Hairston is the best player on the floor, bar none.finally, before you go dicounting the Ducks, consider two things:
A. They've won and covered 5 straight against this Washington State team and
B. Oregon is an outstanding 9-2 ATS over their last 11 games against the PAC-10! In other words, underestimate this Ducks team in this spot at your own risk, as they've done it before and while they may not win outright, they will grab the cash in this one.
Take Oregon plus the points over Washington State in this PAC-10 showdown

Penn State (+17 1/2) over INDIANA
Indiana applies to a very negative 6-32-1 ATS subset of a 40-115-3 ATS big home favorite letdown situation today and that angle is certainly worthy of a play if the line is fair. Calculating a fair line in this game isn't an easy task given that Penn State will be without star Gary Claxton for the rest of the season after he injured his knee early in the Lions' 55-80 loss to Wisconsin. The Lions were 2.4 points worse in 4 games that Claxton missed last season than they were with him, but Claxton's scoring efficiency is better this season by 1.5 points per game, so he could be valued as high as 3.9 points per game. That would result in a fair line of Indiana by 18.8 points in this game. The line opened at 18 ½ points, so the oddsmakers came to a similar conclusion on Claxton's value. I'm still a bit hesitant given how poorly Penn State played without Claxton for the 33 minutes he was out on Tuesday, but it should be easier in this game now that they've prepared themselves to play without him. I'll lean with the Nittany Lions at +17 points or more based on the strong letdown situation applying to Indiana (in fact, Claxton being out given the Hoosiers more of a reason to relax) and I'll take Penn State in a 2-Star Best Bet at +19 points or more.

triple-dime bet GBP -7.5 vs NYG
Well once again a Manning is in the Conference Championship Game the only thing is it isn't Peyton it's ELI. Well I'm going to be throwing out some cliches as you heard Winning with Mirrors while that's what the N.Y. Giants have been doing. They beat Dallas with just 230 yards of Offense with a bunch of the yards coming in the drive right before the half when for some reason with just 2 minutes left in the half Dallas went to a semi prevent defense. Also note that Dallas had several long drives last week in which they ate up clock and shortened the game. This helped the N.Y. Giants out. Two other factors to consider this will be the Giants 3rd road game in a row. It is tough to win 3 in a row on the Road in the Playoffs. The last team to do it was Pittsburgh when they won the Super Bowl. Also they beat a team in Dallas that had already beaten them twice I think Dallas thought they just had to show up and they would win. Finally the reason the Giants have played so well in the last 3 games is simple just one TO in 3 games. ELI hasn't made any mistakes but today he is playing in the Biggest Game of his life. Until a QB shows he win in the Big Game you have to assume he can't. Big Ben for the Steelers had a horrible game in his first Championship Game and so will ELI. The last factor I want to point out is that Green Bay has gotten better every week. In September they couldn't run the Ball now they are killing people with their rushing attack rushing for 124 or more in 5 of last 6 games. When they run well it only makes Brett Favre that much better. The giants secondary is banged up Romo didn't exploit it but Favre will. TAKE GREEN BAY as my 10* PLAYOFF LOCK OF THE YEAR and make them a TRIPLE DIME PLAY. PREDICTED SCORE GREEN BAY 27 -13

Pick: 5 units (Free Play) MONEYLINE: Minnesota Golden Gophers -110
Daniel Perkins REDEMPTION SUNDAY Continues at 4pm EST with the Michigan State Spartans traveling to play the Golden Gophers of Minnesota. Once again we are going to POUND THE MONEYLINE on the small home favorite. Minnesota fits into the same system as the early game that has torn apart the books winning 76% of the time! The Golden Gophers are knocking on the doors of the top 25 ranking committee, and for good reason. They sit at 12-4 on the season and an extremely profitable 8-1 on their home court. Lock down defense to the tune of 60.5 points allowed has led Minnesota to many wins this season. They are quick in transition and turn defensive stops into points time after time. Minnesota averages 75 points per game, a difference of +14.5. The Spartans have hit the road twice this season splitting their record at 1-1. They put up just 36 points against IOWA and the 19th ranked defense in the nation. They average just 50 points on the road and will definitely be in tough against the Gophers 38th ranked defense. The Spartans are 0-4 ATS coming off a win and have failed to cover their last 6 against the big ten. They hold a 0-5 record ATS in their last 5 games overall and are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Minnesota. The home team has covered 10 of the last 12 games between these two. Take the Golden Gophers in a hard fought defensive win this afternoon and continue the 3-0 REDEMPTION SUNDAY MISSION with Daniel Perkins later tonight in the Giants Packers NFL Championship!

40 Dime –
PACKERS (Buy the ½ point if your line is -7 ½)
Take the Packer minus the points over the Giants at Lambeau Field tonight.
Hey, I've had the Giants in both of their outright wins, but one thing I saw in last week's win over Dallas that concerns me here is the way their defensive front was blown off the ball.
Had Dallas stuck with the gameplan of running Marion Barber it could have been a different outcome for the Cowboys. Barber finished with 129 yards rushing, but had 101 by halftime when the game was tied.
It's quite possible the Giants defensive front won't be recovered from the manhandling it took last week. Now they have to go against the zone-blocking of the Packers and the hard-running Ryan Grant.
Everyone is talking about Brett Favre and rightfully so, but Grant is the key to this entire game for the Packers. If the Giants can't stop the run, they won't even come close tonight.
The Packers are going to try and get on top early, forcing the Giants to play from behind. Eli Manning has had a nice run so far in the playoffs, but he's just been managing the games, not leading them.
If Manning is forced to try and play catch-up, the Giants are in trouble.
Both of these teams boast some impressive ATS numbers, so I won't even go into detail about them.
The Giants have played great on the road this year, but Lambeau Field in the NFC Championship is like no other road game they've encountered this year.
The Packers will dictate this game offensively and force Manning into making some bad decisions once he falls behind.
Take Green Bay minus the points and remember to buy the ½ point if your line is -7½.
10 Dime –
Take the points with the Chargers today against the Patriots in the AFC Championship.
Look, I'm not suggesting that the Chargers are going to win this game, but it seems way too easy to lay the points with the Patriots considering what San Diego is up against.
First, it's injuries to their three most important players; Antonio Gates, LaDanian Tomlinson and Philip Rivers. Then you have the fact they're trying to knock off the undefeated Patriots on the road.
It all has the makings of a blowout, but nobody is mentioning the Chargers defense and that's why I like San Diego to stay within the number.
The Chargers have the ability to pressure Tom Brady with Shawne Merriman and Shaun Phillips. If they can at least disrupt Brady's rhythm, then the Chargers won't get blown out, no matter what the case is with their offense.
This is just too many points for a team to be laying in a conference championship, regardless of who's injured for San Diego.
Take the points with the Chargers as they stay within the number.

Untitled (Eggs)
Sarah Hobbs explores the world of phobias and aspects of erratic human behavior in her constructed environments. Untitled (Eggs) is one of a number of works by the artist that focus on an obsessive gathering of selected objects. Here the viewer is drawn into the image by the seeming perfection of the eggs, which on closer examination reveal extensive flaws and cracks. Because the objects are presented approximately life-size, they relate directly to human scale, but humans are eerily absent from this photograph and similar works by the artist.

Ciara - Ciara
Production: Cam Wallace, D'Mile, Darkchild, Mike WiLL Made It, Rock City, Soundz, The Co-Captains
Lead Single: Body Party
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 5 votes )
R&B/pop songstress Ciara has unleashed her eponymous fifth full-length via Epic Records.
Previously known as One Woman Army, Ciara features 10 original jams from the Austin, Texas-born recording artist, including featured singles "I'm Out," "Body Party" and "Livin It Up." The iTunes version of the set will include one additional track. The LP features production from the likes of Cam Wallace, D'Mile, Darkchild, Mike WiLL Made It, Rock City, Soundz and The Co-Captains, and packs guest appearances by such big names as Future and Nicki Minaj.
DJBooth Album Review
There have been recent rumblings of a relationship with fellow ATLien Future, and his fingerprints are all over the album. He appears on two tracks and has writing credits for another, but his influence is evident throughout. First single Body Party was co-written by Future, and features some soft coos from him as well. Body Party is one of only a few on the album that belong in the "steamy, sexy" lane that Ciara seems to own when she wants to. Producer of the moment Mike Will slows down 90s staple My Boo by the Ghost Town DJ's with exceptional results, which pairs perfectly with Ciara's airy vocals.
Where You Go, which features a chorus from Future, could have just as easily been a Future track featuring Ciara. That isn't to take away from the song though, as it has a nice, acoustic leaning beat, also produced by Mike Will, and is ultimately an effective and catchy ballad. Future and a third ATLien, B.o.B., give quick 16s on album closer, Body Party (Remix). While not a bad song, I have a personal gripe when artists throw barely altered from the original remixes on albums, especially as the closer, and one as slim (Ciara contains 11 tracks), as this one.
And as long as we're talking features, Nicki Minaj, one of only four guests on the album, appears on opener I'm Out. Production duo Rock City serves the ladies a solid, club-oriented instrumental, which Nicki's double-time flow sounds great over. Ciara may take a back seat on track one, but she shines a few tracks later on Keep on Lookin'. With an aggressive southern attitude that only Ciara can pull off and a funky instrumental that sounds like it was made on Mars, Keep on Lookin' is a sure highlight of the album.
A self-titled album is expected to bring along with it some depth, some emotion, maybe a personal story or two. Ciara lacks depth, providing the listener with little to no information on who Ciara is. After four albums, why name your fifth Ciara if not to act as a personal statement? A window into who you are as a person, as an artist, as a lover or as a heartbreaker. Read My Lips and Overdose, for instance, seemingly could have been made by anybody with an ounce of musical talent, certainly as much as someone like Ciara.
Ultimately, Ciara is a lean, enjoyable collection of tunes steeped in the deep bass and funk sounds of the south. It certainly leans towards the club, and could improve with a few more of the steamy R&B songs that Ciara is so good at, but it does so in a more innovative and fresh way than most. The album is most successful when Ciara takes center stage. When she swaggers as only she could. The 18-year-old girl with a sexy image and some Goodies has grown up into an artist capable of holding down an album. Though at times she panders to the club a bit much, and doesn't provide quite the depth that is expected of a self-titled album and an artist on her fifth go around, Ciara is filled with a fun batch of songs. And if that means it simply contains more potential singles than her previous albums, than an album full of singles is better than an album full of a goodie or two, but mostly duds.

On Wednesday, it was announced Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler (pictured) will put his strap up for grabs against Dave Jansen on June 19. WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma serves as host. Chandler owns a spotless 11-0 record, with all but his first two pro fights coming under Bellator's watch. He submitted Rick Hawn in January to notch his first title defense. "I'm excited to get back in the cage and defend the belt against a tough guy like Jansen," Chandler said. "He's proven to be a very tough and durable competitor. My plan is the same as every fight, which is to show up new and improved and collect another dominant finish for the fans." Jansen will be riding a six-fight winning streak into the biggest bout of his life. He took Bellator's Season 7 lightweight tournament to earn next dibs. Also, a pair of light heavyweight tourney bouts will take place in the event. Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal meets Seth Petruzelli, while Renato "Babalu" Sobral battles Jacob Noe. In addition, a welterweight affair between War Machine and Blas Avena was confirmed for the lineup. Spike TV broadcasts the main card beginning at 7PM ET.

Mike Perlstein / Eyewitness News

BELLE CHASSE, La. -- Plaquemines Parish recently expanded its property holdings by approving the purchase of a 17-acre parcel on the Intracoastal Canal in Belle Chasse.
But the $130,000 purchase came as a surprise to some people who are familiar with the property as the site of the massive Belle Chasse Pumping Station.
Old land documents and the collective memory of the community tell the same story: Plaquemines Parish government has already occupied the land for decades.
Survey maps and old legal documents show that the parish has a 'perpetual servitude' on the property. In layman's terms, the parish can use the land for any public purpose it sees fit.
That has led some officials and community leaders to question the proposed purchase, as well as some of the political connections that surround it.
Councilman Kirk Lepine said that when council members voted 7-to-2 in March to approve the purchase, they weren't informed about the decades-old servitude.
'That was kind of upsetting to find that,' Lepine said.
But the parish's interests in this property aren't just contained in a bunch of legal documents or historic use. This pumping station is currently undergoing a major upgrade, and an equipment storage warehouse was recently built on the property.
Lepine voted in favor of the purchase, but now says he has buyer's remorse.
'I should have dug in a little bit deeper. I thought all the ducks were in a row, I guess. Obviously they weren't,' he said.
The councilman took his share of the blame for not demanding more information about the deal.
'I guess we dropped the ball,' Lepine said. 'I guess we have to investigate more and ask more questions.'
Lepine isn't the only council member questioning the deal as it enters final negotiations before becoming final. Councilman Percy Griffin voted against the sale, but said he is bothered by the fact that the council was not told about the parish's longstanding and unlimited use of the property.
'If we had all the details to that, supporting documents, I'm more than sure some red flags would have come up and some questions would have been asked,' Griffin said.
But while council members say there were left in the dark, several concerned citizens say they were able to dig up the same documents obtained by Channel 4.
Community activist Michelle Wilcox, with the watchdog group The Plaquemines Pulse, questioned why the administration didn't give the council the full picture.
'As we found out, the servitude on there already belongs to the parish,' Wilcox said. 'We're just not quite sure why we would have to buy something that we have access to, to begin with. To me it would be like buying something twice. Why pay someone for it when we already have access to it and we're using it?'
Former Parish President Benny Rousselle places equal blame on the administration and parish council.
'I think it's a waste of taxpayers' dollars,' Rousselle said. 'I think somebody is asleep at the wheel in the legal department. And the council members need to step up and do some due diligence when they start acquiring property.'
Rousselle, Wilcox and others question if the administration was hiding more than just the servitude.
The ordinance approves the purchase from a company called Intracoastal Realty. But nowhere does it mention that Intracoastal is owned by the same people who own Barriere Construction, a longtime parish contractor.
'That's a revelation that came later,' Rousselle said.
Campaign finance reports show that Barriere has been a regular contributor to Parish President Billy Nungesser. Nungesser's 2008 campaign finance reports show two separate $1,000 contributions from the company.
'I think this administration in particular has moved in a direction to favor their political supporters and I don't think they have the parish's best interests at heart,' Rousselle said.
In a telephone interview, Nungesser said he didn't know the details of the Barriere land deal. On the details of the proposed sale, Nungesser deferred to the parish legal department, which stated the deal is still under review.
'The parish is awaiting a title report and opinion on the entire property,' the legal department wrote in a statement. 'The opinion will advise what property interests are outstanding, and the appraisal obtained by the parish will be revisited based on the results of the opinion.'
Channel 4 also received a written response from Barriere Construction. The company said its interest in selling the land arose just recently, after the parish built the large storage warehouse on the property. The company said liability concerns and the fact that the warehouse was built with FEMA funds sparked the negotiations.
'The position of Intracoastal's owners is clear,' the company wrote. 'The presence of the warehouse raised the issue of meeting the servitude agreements, as well as its potential liability. These two reasons are why discussions of a potential sale are underway.'

A 20-year-old Berkeley County jail inmate was recaptured after running away from a sheriff's deputy at a hospital early Wednesday, an official said.
Chelsea Renee Sones, who was being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center on charges of shoplifting and resisting arrest, was complaining of pain in her abdomen, Berkeley County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dan Moon said.
She was treated at Moncks Corner Medical Center and later released.
But as a deputy took her to a patrol car at 12:39 a.m., "she bolted from the scene and managed to elude the deputy," Moon said.
Sones was captured about an hour and a half later and taken back to jail.
She now faces a charge of escape.
Sones was not in handcuffs when she ran, Moon said. She had been throwing up and was holding a pan in case it happened again. Inmates normally should be in cuffs at all times when being transported, and the incident is being evaluated, Moon said.

Latest Day Z Patch Includes Community Contributions
As promised in the discussions of how the mod would develop in tandem with the standalone game, Day Z's mod version has been patched to 1.7.3 with contributions from the wider community (as opposed to just the original dev team.) Discussing the patch on the Day Z forums, Rocket posts a list of everyone who has contributed to the latest update, and encourages others to get involved: 'There is much being done, new features and content. Official support is also being made available to community development team members for some requests, where possible.'
There are no new features in this patch, sadly, as it's all bug fixes and tweaks, and although dogs are 'in' they're no workable yet due to some missing features. Dogs, it seems, will have their day(z).

Christine & Pierre's Kitchen Renovation: What it Really Cost - A Budget Breakdown
Renovation Diary
Name: Christine & Pierre
Type of Project: Kitchen remodel
Location: Montreal, Quebec
Type of building: Ground floor apartment of a triplex, 1,100 square feet
Yesterday, we got our first look at Christine and Pierre's gorgeous, re-oriented and re-vamped kitchen. Today, we're going to take a peek behind the scenes and answer a question I'm sure you're all curious about: how much did it all cost?
Christine & Pierre's Kitchen: The Big Reveal
Renovation Diary
Name: Christine & Pierre
Type of Project: Kitchen remodel
Location: Montreal, Quebec
Type of building: Ground floor apartment of a triplex, 1,100 square feet
When we last checked in with Christine and Pierre, they were adding a few finishing touches to their kitchen. A light fixture that took some time to arrive (and a little bit of end-of-renovation-inertia) meant that work on the kitchen stretched out longer than anticipated... but I think you'll agree that the results are more than worth the wait.
Shelley's Loft Full of Collected Treasures
House Tour
Name: Shelley Gainer
Location: Toronto, Canada
Size: 1100 square feet
Years lived in: 3 years; owned
The first place place that popped into my head after getting my Apartment Therapy gig was the beautiful loft of my friend (and former boss!) Shelley. This is as authentic as it gets for a loft, folks. The building was converted from a warehouse into lofts in 2003, featuring wood beams, brick walls, metal warehouse doors, concrete floors and huge windows. Shelley shares the space with her ginger-haired cat Molly and boyfriend Tim. Her space is filled with so many interesting artistic and vintage pieces it's easy to get distracted!
Cottage Chic Meets Glam in Wren's Room
Kids Room Tour
Name: Wren
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Room Size: 130 square feet
I've followed Holly Baker of In the Fun Lane for years now, and have always admired her style. She masterfully combines the cottage/shabby chic aesthetic with a more glam/modern look throughout her home, and her daughter Wren's room is no exception.
A Glam Gold and Grasscloth Nursery
My Room
Name: Baby Girl
Location: Ontario, Canada
My plan for the nursery was to make the most of a small space that was once a really fantastic walk-in closet! I envisioned a cozy, textural, and fairly neutral nursery.

House Call
Name: Leah & Kris
Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I'm a jewelry designer living in Vancouver, BC with my husband, Kris, who is a music composer for film and television. We were given the opportunity to buy the great space we had been renting for one year and have since made it our own. Running our own businesses from home, we have incorporated both studio workspaces and living spaces to flow dynamically throughout our home.
Brittany's Big New Brunswick Bungalow
House Call
Name: Brittany
Location: Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Canada
The best way to describe our home on the East Coast of Canada is a woodsy retreat with fresh finishes. Our home is located in Quispamsis, in an area known for its outdoorsy roots with cool tree lines and beaches that surround the Saint John River.
Julien and André's Former Factory Full of Bargain Finds
House Call
Name: Julien and André
Location: Montreal, Quebec
We have a style that we describe here in French has "chineur," or you could say bargain hunter. We could also describe our style as masculine modern vintage; a mix of teak from the 50s to modern IKEA with love-at-first-sight finds from our trips to
Esthera and Gus's Bohemian Abode
House Tour
Name: Esthera & Gus Preda-Engle, along with cat Lotlita

Size: 1,200 square feet
Years lived in: 2 years; Owned
Esthera, a videographer at Boat People Vintage, and Gus, a professional snowboarder, are quite the talented couple. Esthera and Gus's home truly embodies their style and heritage: Esthera is a first generation Romanian-French-Canadian, and Gus is half Native American. When they're not traveling the world, the newlyweds spend their time in their loft making art and music. They have turned the space situated above Esthera's parents' garage into a beautiful bohmeian home.

15.06.07 -By Jaime Castro-Núñez: After a whole morning trying to resell the contraband cigarettes he had bought at dawn, boyish Antonio Cervantes stopped on top of the Cartagena Walls, sat next to the now-rusted cannons that the Spanish Empire had placed to defend the city against piracy in the Sixteenth Century, put the cigarettes next to the artillery, and contemplated the Caribbean Sea. He heard the tolling of the bells...taan, taan. He did not need to hear them to understand that it was twelve oclock. He was hungry enough to hear the cats fighting in his empty stomach. He took a second breath, decided to visit boxing manager Nelson Arrieta, and resumed work, voicing with a renovated energy: Cigarettes, cigarettes.
Antonio talked to Arrieta the following day. He introduced himself as Antonio Cervantes Reyes, the son of Manuel Cervantes and Ceferina Reyes, born on December 23, 1945, in San Basilio de Palenque, the first independent, walled community established in Latin America in the Seventeenth Century by escaped slaves. I want to box, he said. Arrieta took Antonio to the boxing gym, placed him in front of a punching bag, and ordered: hit it. Confident, Antonio started to move around the bag, releasing both hands, looking at the sac as if it was the incarnation of poverty, hammering it without compassion.
To Nelson Arrieta, a name like Antonio Cervantes Reyes seemed quite inoffensive, so he nicknamed his new protégée The Black Threat. But soon The Black Threat disenchanted him. In his first bout, the Black Threat looked more like a pink joke. As the opponent schooled Cervantes, Arrietas enthusiasm depleted. Arrieta was losing interest and using Cervantes as a fifth-class pugil, one night introducing him as The Black Spider, and the next as The Killing Panther. Eventually, Antonio adopted the moniker that the boxing gods had for him since the foundation of the world: Kid Pambelé. If at the beginning, Arrieta was impressed by Cervantes movements, after the first bouts he was convinced that Pambelé was nothing but a paquete, the pejorative adjective used in Colombia to describe sloppy boxers. In 1967, and after three years of fighting pro, the gods used a clever trick in order to put him on the right path.
Two days before facing Jesús González, Pambelé received a tempting offer. Two guys offered extra pesos if Pambelé let González knock him out in the fourth. The fight started and, in the third round, down went Jesús. Totally disconcerted, Antonio waited for González to stand up, but he seemed hurt, as the referee kept counting. Not wanting those extra pesos to go, Pambelé screamed: Stand up, mother fucker. I did not even hit you. You son of a bitch, stand up and fight as a man. Eight, nine, ten. Pambelé was so sloppy that he had been set up for fun. That year, the Colombian Boxing Federation suspended both fighters. Since he was unable to fight in Colombia, the gods sent him to Venezuela, where the rough, tarnished diamond was transformed into the finest piece of boxing jewelry ever, thanks to promoter Ramiro Machado, and to boxing trainer Melquíades Tabaquito Sáenz.
Up in the Olympus, the gods made sure that Machado and Tabaquito had the patience to mold the loved one. In 1968, when they met, Pambelé was a clumsy, 23-year-old boxer whose hopes relied on his punching power. But Tabaquito taught him how to box in a professional, artful manner. From 1968 to 1971, when he challenged champion Nicolino Locche for the World Boxing Association Light Welterweight Title, Tabaquito polished the diamond so much that it would shine in the division for the rest of the decade.
Pambelé fought Locche in 1971 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, at Estadio Luna Park, eventually losing by UD. The following year, Locche lost the title to Panamanian Alfonso Peppermint Frazer, who defended the belt three times before meeting the loved one, on October 28, 1972, in Panama City at Gimnasio Nuevo Panamá. In an inspired night, Pambelé knocked the champ out in round ten, thus initiating a god-led boxing empire that would sparkle until 1980. Pambelés life had changed forever! During the first epoch as a champion, Tabaquitos pupil successfully defended the crown 15 times, wrecking Locche, Frazer, Kadota, Furuyama, and many more. In 1976, he lost the belt to Wilfredo Benítez, just to recapture it the following year.
During his first epoch as a champion, Pambelé made so much money, that he went from traveling on the back of a donkey to first-class airplane seats. Although he used to eat plain rice, now he could pay for caviar, sirloin, and wine. From living in the poorest areas, he moved to Boca Grande, a Malibu-like neighborhood in Cartagena. Owner of all sorts of gems, cars, condos, farms, and motorcycles, fame and wealth conspired against the gods to betray the champ. It seemed that the more money Pambelé spent, the bulkier his pockets got. Accepted into Colombias white, wealthy circle, he thought money would last for ever. On top of the glory, he went from cigarettes to crack and everything in between. In the meantime, Machado, Sáenz, his family, the gods, the boxing world, and the whole nation, paid tribute to the greatest, the biggest, the richest, the champion, Kid Pambelé.
In 1977, in Maracaibo, Venezuela, the once Black Threat faced Carlos María Giménez for the Vacant WBA Light Welterweight Title. Six rounds were enough for Pambelé to destroy Giménez. In his second epoch, Pambelé defended the crown seven more times, until losing it to Aaron Pryor in Cincinnati, OH, in 1980. After eight years reining, an old rooster faced young Pryor, who knocked the loved one out in round four. Pambelé retired three years later, doing everything he could to waste his 1.5 million-dollar fortune. His final record was 91-12-3, with 44 KO´s. Antonio Cervantes Reyes, better known as Kid Pambelé, was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2000, the Colombian Boxing Federation honored him as Colombia's Fighter of the Century.
Colombian journalist Juan Gossain defined Pambelé as The Colossus who decided to put dynamite to his own statue. Twenty-four years after his retirement, we boxing fans look at the ruins of the bombarded monument just to see the breathing pieces of his wealthy, splendorous past. And while we contemplate the ruins, Pambelé returns to the Cartagena Walls to sit next to the rusted cannons, where he used to spend his time wishing for a better future. The cathedrals bells start to toll announcing the time, but Pambelé only needs to hear the cat fighting in his empty stomach to realize that it is twelve oclock. Contemplating the Caribbean Sea, Pambe gives the impression that he is looking for some sort of protection against the piracy of daily life.
