As I've often said before (see here), an absurd percentage of every campaign is taken up by one side attacking the other side for something the other side's candidate said. In almost every case, it's something the candidate wishes he could take back the moment it came out of his mouth. Sometimes, we even get campaign kerfuffles about something a campaign advisor said, as we did when Romney aide Eric Fehrnstrom's unfortunate Etch A Sketch remark. And now, we've got something even more ridiculous: a kerfuffle about something said by a political professional who isn't even working for a campaign.
In case you haven't checked your Twitter feed this morning, last night on CNN, Democratic consultant and talking head Hilary Rosen mocked Mitt Romney for saying he understands what women are going through, because his wife Ann tells him what they care about. In the course of making that argument, she said Ann Romney had "never worked a day in her life." Cue the faux outrage! It's quite plain that the fact that Rosen said this proves that Barack Obama hates stay-at-home moms. Right?
I imagine millions of women watching this and saying, "Gee, those Republicans don't think I ought to get health coverage, or equal pay for equal work, or access to contraception. On the other hand, some woman I never heard of who doesn't actually work for Barack Obama said something on TV that sounded insulting toward Mitt Romney's wife. I guess you've got my vote, Mitt!"
Many people are now going to say that "candidates' families should be off-limits." Which they should. Nobody ought to care how hard Ann Romney had to work to raise her kids, or whether something Michelle Obama wrote in a paper as an undergraduate reveals her radical sympathies (in case you've forgotten, conservatives actually did try to make the latter case, at great length). On the other hand, since candidates' families are often participants in their campaigns, it's perfectly fine to engage them on what they say. If Ann Romney argues that Mitt Romney's presidency would be great for women, you can say that she's completely wrong. After this, though, I'm sure if you said that some Republicans would accuse you of trying to destroy a fine woman.
I suppose this counts as the first inane manufactured controversy over somebody's extemporaneous comments of the general election, if we date the general to when Rick Santorum pulled out of the race. And there will only be about 80 or 90 more before we get to November. But it's going to be tough to match this one for sheer absurdity.

The romneys cynicism and dishonestly are just glaring. Willard certainly has a funny way of showing their self-proclaimed "compassion". The problem is that her husband's policies are designed for privileged women like his wife not for the rest of us. I wish they'd quit with the "we're just like you" schtick, no one is buying it.
Sat, 2012-04-14 16:51
Is there some way to clarify, in simple terms, what Ms. Rosen was actually saying -- that Ann Romney has never HAD to work a day in her life? She couldn't possibly understand the fear of losing a job in a post-safety net country, knowing the state could take your children if you can't find another job fast enough to prevent becoming homeless. She doesn't know what it's like to be in a situation where losing a job can mean losing everything, including your family, possibly your life (yes, American has grown that tough on the poor).

Before anyone talks about the Romney's children, they can afford all the help with their children that they want, whereas so many can't even afford childcare to go to work. They can afford people to clean the house, wash the laundry, do the shopping and make the meals.

Beautiful PID explanation video
He has created a video explaining how a PID (proportional / integral / derivative ) controller works and shows an example of it running on a simple NXT robot towards the end.
Now the video is in Portugese (who says we don't cater for the international audience! :D) and although I've only done a semester of learning Spanish at university, I was able to keep track of what was going on.
Even if I didn't understand any of the writing (he goes through a *lot* of post-it notes!), it was still great fun to watch, the style, pace and music of it just perfect. I loved the little things that happen throughout, such as running out of room to write and having to add another post-it, and trying (unsuccessfully) to attach the NXT with masking tape :)

Hello nice guide there!
But i have questions i would to ask; What is the use of the compare block in this program?
Because I would like to try this method using two light sensor to make it align it on a dark line, but then i came across the Fuzzy Line Follower which has the same kind of method;
( subtracting -> multiplying = speed of motor ). Which method is better?
- Dec 16, 2011, 2:09:00 AM
- Ivan Seidel said...
sHi Alex Hustain,
The "compare" block is just a trick, to set the direction of the motor forward or backward, because the power input only accept 0-100 integer values, we need to check if the "P" is below 0 or not, and set the direction correcly, otherwise, the robot would only go in one direction.
About "Fuzzy" algorithm. The way you explain, it's more like "P" control, because Fuzzy is commonly used in controls that you need to "set" states to things, like: "between 0-5, the output is -50". P is more like you said: "( subtracting -> multiplying = speed of motor )", with is P algorithm. For Line followers, is VERY reccomended, to use at least a PI algorithm, because in curves, if the robot doesen't integrates (sum) the error, he will go out of the line. If you increase the kP, than, the robot will have a LOT of overshot, causing the same thing. So, use a PI controller, that will work just fine!

The film explores the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as seen thru the eyes of the mothers of the two girls until their emotionally charged meeting face to face.

The 5 bullshit myths of concept art.Concept art is getting bigger and bigger. More people know what it is nowadays, it gets shown in the media more often and more books get released. This automatically results into more people wanting to become concept artists. So many artschools are now creating special courses all towards game art or concept art. (Game art can also include UI design, 3D modeling etc.).
Yet it is a fairly new thing to most people and the idea of "becoming a concept artist" has grown rapidly over such a short time that a lot of people who are new to it seem to get a lot of misguide info. I am going to try to list this misguided info and direct you to the correct info.
(Again I would always advise you to do your own research and form your own knowledge and not just simply agree with what you read online, not from anyone, not from me. Even though i'm right .. ofcourse. *wink *wink )

Notes on Character Design
I received the question pictured below at my tumblr blog. In case it's useful to anyone here, I decided to go ahead and use this otherwise dormant journal to share the article I put together in response.
Character design and drawing are tome-sized topics and even if I had all the answers (I don't - I have a lot to learn), I'm not sure I could communicate them effectively. Here are some thoughts an ideas that might help, though.
First, some general things...
- Relax.
Let some of that anxiety go. This isn't a hard science. There's no wrong way,
This is why you (and your art) get ignored.People often get the sense of being ignored in the art-scene, especially here online. We all try so hard to get our foot in the door, it's like trying to stuff yourself in an overfull bus like a sardine in a can.
Sometimes you just want to socialize with other artists you admire and you seem to be talking into a brick wall or perhaps you've send your portfolio to a company over a dozen times and still don't even seem to get the smallest response or feedback. I will try and tell you WHY you get ignored and HOW you can get noticed instead.
I will go through the following cases of being ignored:
Your comment.
Your art.
Your Portfolio.
Do know, that even though being ignored feels very personal it's hardly ever personal at all!
Your comment(s) gets ignored.
It happens ever so often. You notice an artwork or a discussion and you weigh in with your opinion or admiration, perhaps even some feedback? T

Origins of Eddsworld [WORDSWORDSWORDS]You asked for it, you got it. No, it's not f**king waffles.
Even before i animated, i always had a habit of drawing friends into comics. In secondary school i would draw them all the time, if just to get a quick laugh or to insult another. Originally my group of friends in school were he cast of what i called 'Edd's World', most likely inspired by Wayne's World. Eventually i started using the internet more often and started using Neopets with Matt and others, which lead to me making a Guild and then a Guild website.. and that Guild was called 'Edd's Kill-a-thon'... yeah. A few weeks later after some angry threats, the admins removed my guild for having too violent of a title. So i made a new one and called it 'Edd's World' with a lame little Geocities webpage linking to cool stuff and funny pictures. Soon i started using an animated gif maker to make very bad anmated gif stories, mainly about stickmen dying and farts and what not. When i finally found a place to submit them (www.sfdt.c

The A-list is a term that alludes to major movie stars, and/or the most bankable in the Hollywood movie industry.
The A-list is part of a larger guide called The Hot List that has become an industry-standard guide in Hollywood. Lesser-known actors inhabit the B+, B, and C lists, and there is even a dreaded "Bottom of the Heap," or "Z-List." James Ulmer has also developed a Hot List of directors.
Will Smith topped the rank as highest paid actor in 2008. Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise topped the latest ranking in 2006. Ulmer's latest Top Ten List, from 2006, also includes:
The 2008 list also includes:
In the UK, the term "Z-list" is used for people with very limited fame, such as reality TV contestants, or former celebrities who are no longer in the limelight. Also, "Z-list" celebrities can be people who might star on Broadway musicals, giving them limited fame as well.

After searching out a musclecar make and model that would hopefully appeal to the masses, RS Performance decided on a chassis for '64-72 Chevelles, a choice made after looking at a few factors in the marketplace:
1) Popularity. Who doesn't want to drive a Chevelle? Just about any of the body styles are timeless, and nothing shouts musclecar at a local drive-in louder than an A-body.
2) Relative availability. There are tons of them out there, from old, granny-driven '66s, on up to '72 Super Sports.
3) Original frame/suspension shortcomings. Let's face it, A-bodies are absolute slouches in the corners, and on the highways and byways around town for that matter. They handle like a two-year-old on a tricycle, plowing into things, sliding all over the place. This factor left RS Performance plenty of room to improve with its new design.
Says Phil Gerber of RS Performance, "There are three different year ranges for the Chevelle chassis: 1964-65 are the same, 1966-67 are the same, and 1968-72 are the same. The main difference is in the front and rear frame horns where they meet the bumpers. We build a specific chassis for each year. We also do the chassis for every model-hardtop, post, convertible, wagon, and El Camino."
The test mule for the chassis, the car that appears in these pages, was snatched up as a 60,000-mile, numbers-matching 1966 that was, it turns out, a grandma car, probably never taken up to the stratosphere of even 4,500 rpm. The build actually started out harmlessly: Jeremy Gerber, along with dad Neil and brother Phil, and a host of other Roadster Shop employees, originally planned for this to be a direct swap of the RS Performance Chevelle chassis-in with the new, out with the old, and the hulk of the original car would stay the same as it was. However, after further deliberations, the decision was made to turn this car into a true R&D machine, with a fully custom powertrain and killer exterior looks (not to mention the prototype chassis and suspension setup under the skin).
The build took just seven months, and the Chevelle now packs a Bill Mitchell Hardcore Racing aluminum 540 big-block, with an Eagle rotating assembly, Mahle pistons, and World Products Merlin aluminum heads and solid-lifter camshaft. A single Hardcore 1050-cfm 4-barrel and Merlin X single plane intake cap things off. With a pump gas-friendly 10:1 compression ratio, the lightweight rat makes an advertised 685 horsepower and 685 lb-ft of torque.
Obviously, power is great, but when dealing with G-Machines and Pro Touring circles, it's equally (if not more) important that the car handle and stop. For its Chevelle chassis, RS Performance has spared no expense, while keeping the price tag on the affordable side. The RS Performance chassis, which starts at $15,495, includes just about everything you could want to make a Chevelle handle some of the most aggressive, twisty roads out there. To start, the front end carries a jointly developed Detroit Speed and Engineering/RS Performance-modified C6 Corvette spindle setup, with Afco remote-reservoir double-adjustable coilovers, tuned specifically to the application (in this case, the '66 test mule). There's also a splined sway bar that definitely helps with body roll.
The rear is a four-link designed by RS Performance, with QA1 adjustable coilovers, and heim-jointed rod ends. The rear also packs a Ford 9-inch with heavy-duty 31-spline axles, designed to withstand massive amounts of loading. The frame itself is narrowed at the rear, in the expectation that customers will go wild with rubber, and can accept up to a 14-inch-wide rear tire.
With all this potential grip and nearly 700 horsepower, brakes and tires are critical. Wilwood 14-inch drilled and slotted rotors reside at all four corners, with 6-piston calipers in front and 4-piston calipers in back. While some would have snuckk in barely DOT-legal road race rubber to improve the track times, RS Performance went with Michelin Pilot Sport SP2 tires-high end sports car tires to be sure, but they are full-depth skins with a street compound. They measure 255/35R19 and 335/30R20 (fore and aft) and encircle 19x9 and 20x12-inch Boze alloy wheels.

The Audition
I Love Lucy has captured the hearts of television viewers since its very first episode in 1951. The Audition, which was the hilarious sixth episode of the premier season, was the first time in the series that Lucy Ricardo was shown trying to get into one of bandleader hubby Ricky's acts — a plotline that became a recurring and perpetually entertaining aspect of I Love Lucy's history. In this episode, despite Ricky's numerous attempts at keeping her out of the spotlight, Lucy finds a way to step in for an injured Buffo the Clown. Through a series of jokes, quips and brilliant physical comedy, Lucy steals the hearts of the talent scouts in the audience, who ignore Ricky's talent and offer Lucy a contract instead!

A shoe is an item of footwear. Shoes may vary from a simple flip-flop to a complex boot. Shoes may have high or low heels, although in western cultures, high heels are considered a women's style. Shoe materials include leather or canvas. Athletic shoe soles may sometimes be made of rubber.
The earliest designs were simple affairs, often mere "foot bags" of leather to protect the feet from rocks, debris, and cold. Since a shoe uses more leather than a sandal, their use was more common amongst people in cold climates. By the Middle Ages, turn-shoes had been developed with toggled flaps or drawstrings to tighten the leather around the foot for a better fit. As Europe gained in wealth and power, fancy shoes became status symbols. Toes became long and pointed, often to ridiculous proportions. Artisans created unique footwear for rich patrons, and new styles developed. Eventually the modern shoe, with a sewn-on sole, was devised. Since the 17th century, most leather shoes have used a sewn-on sole. This remains the standard for finer-quality dress shoes today.
Since the mid-20th Century, advances in rubber, plastics, synthetic cloth, and industrial adhesives have allowed manufacturers to create shoes that stray considerably from traditional crafting techniques. Leather, which had been the primary material in earlier styles, has remained standard in expensive dress shoes, but athletic shoes often have little or no real leather. Soles, which were once laboriously stitched on, are more often glued today.
The bottom rear part of a shoe is the heel. Its function is to support the heel of the foot. They are often made of the same material as the sole of the shoe. This part can be high for fashion or to make the person look taller, or flat for a more practical use.
Some designs of dress shoes can be worn by either gender. The majority of dress shoes have an upper covering, commonly made of leather, enclosing most of the lower foot, but not covering the ankles. This upper part of the shoe is often made without apertures or openings, but may also be made with openings or even itself consist of a series of straps, e.g. an open toe featured in women's shoes. Shoes with uppers made high to cover the ankles are also available; a shoe with the upper rising above the ankle is usually considered a boot but certain styles may be referred to as high-topped shoes or high-tops. Usually, a high-topped shoe is secured by laces or zippers, although some styles have elastic inserts to ease slipping the shoe on.
Various other closings exist but are less popular such as side-elastic closings.
Men's shoes can also be decorated in various ways:
Pumps, known in the US and UK as ballerinas, ballet pumps or skimmers, are shoes with a very low heel and a relatively short vamp, exposing much of the instep. They are popular for warm-weather wear, and may be seen as more comfortable than shoes with a higher heel.
High heels may be shoes with heels 2 inches (5 cm) or higher. They are often seen as having more sex appeal than low heels (see article for discussion) and are thus commonly worn by women for formal occasions or social outings.
Kitten heels are low high heels from about 1.5 to 2 inches high, set in from the back of the shoe.
Someone who makes or repairs shoes in a shop is called a cobbler.
In the Middle East, parts of Africa, Korea and Thailand, it is considered rude to show the soles of the feet to others (even accidentally, such as by crossing the legs). In addition, in Thailand, it is an extreme insult for the foot, socks, or shoes to touch someone's head or be placed over it. Although feet touching heads is an extremely rare occurrence in any society, some Muay Thai boxers insult each other by "kicking" the opponent's head with their foot (most Muay Thai kicks are executed with the shin).

Did you know that we have a real red headed "fairy girl" right here in Starkville Mississippi? On October 10, 1975, I discovered a beautiful "fairy girl" with long red hair playing "peekaboo" behind a gigantic Green Ball Tree. She lived on Greensboro Street in our Historic District. She was very cute too. Where in the world did I spot, find, and discover her? She was right in front of 518 Greensboro where she lived. This Green Ball Tree still lives here. I call it a Bodock Tree, which is also known as a Horse Apple Tree. I also grew up with a Green Ball Tree on the Mississippi State University campus in a two-story clapboard faculty home. Right behind our home was a big pasture, and this same pasture is the spot for MSU students who still play ball of all kinds late in the afternoons. There were really several Green Ball Trees there, and all of the neighborhood children would walk down to play "Peekaboo" behind and in front of these old trees. We particularly loved picking up and feeling the wonderful Green Balls underneath the tree trunks. Some were hard and some were soft balls. In our own imaginary world we had our own hard/soft ball games. The pasture became our own sports field of green grass which felt so great underneath our bare feet and between our toes in the warm summer time in our backyard pasture/playground.
This Green Ball tree on Greensboro was really gigantic. This tree is still alive, healthy, and well in 2011. It is abnormally enormous. My little red-headed precious real human being was a small girl peeping and peering out from behind the left side of the trunk which made her seem very small and she looked just like a fairy. A fairy lives in a fairyland, and she is a mythical being with a human face. She popularly is believed to possess magical powers. She is delicate, small and graceful. My little red-headed fairy fit all of these qualities, and as she looked at me she almost pries furtively and keenly right at me and straight into my green eyes. She looked almost through a narrow opening behind the tree into the larger space that I was standing and painting this very huge Green Ball Tree.
The tree is near the sidewalk of one of the prettiest older homes on this old street. I had positioned myself along with all my art supplies almost inside the street itself. I was barely on the sidewalk for my own safety and this same sidewalk had become my door art studio for that very early morning. I had no idea that the home in the distance there inside lived a real fairy. I had arrived to spend the entire day just enjoying sketching and painting. I wanted to take my time to really become acquainted with all the details within this trunk, branches, and leaves of the Green Ball Tree. It was quaint and delightful, and I wanted to later paint all the character within the entire scene that lay before me.
Take a look with me now at all the curves, twists, and turns that this one trunk made as it grew way up and into the blue sky above. Why this old trunk looked as if it could be magical and was dancing and had danced way beyond the sky. Look at all the various shades of greens. Hooker's Green which is almost a dark black green, Apple Green is a brighter green, Lime Green is just lime in color, and Yellow Green is almost a white/yellow. I chose to paint just a few shapes of the Green Balls and the tree leaves as the gracefully had fallen towards the ground part of the painting.
Oh, I loved the thirteen Green Balls. Count them. Again I used the odd number. One by one I painted each of these soft yet hard balls. They are like sponges when you pick one up and hold it in your hands. They have little round bump features, and if you break or crack one a milk-like substance will appear from the ball itself. It is sometimes sticky and oozes out of the ball. I love the because of the texture and the way it feels in your hands. I think when these Green Balls fall on the dark brown dirt ground they suddenly add a sparkling bright color of lime green to our Mississippi landscape. It pops the scene and looks so refreshing.
The White Green, Sandy Green background right behind the middle of the gigantic tree makes your imagination go off into the distance of wondering what is really behind this old tree. I was really busy making sure that I was not leaving out one tiny detail of my subject, and I had blocked out all the sounds of the cars rolling by and right behind me on the busy street as the drivers sort of slowed down going to work and returning at noon for dinner time. Suddenly I heard a different sound of the slamming of a front door coming from the home with the numbers, 518 on the side near that front porch area. I did not see anyone coming outside or going inside because as the door slammed I had quickly looked downward to my palette to find Lime Green paint and White to put on the high light of one of the Green Balls as well as the details of the leaves on the tree. I began to call this tree, "my tree" as I now seemed to own "her" now and "she" was truly becoming mine!
As I looked back at "my tree" I spotted a real tiny fairy with long red hair, lime green headband over her head holding some of her red hair back and out of her eyes. She had the biggest and bluest eyes I had ever seen, a white turtleneck on her shoulders and of all things green blue jeans on her legs. Her tiny feet were covered in brown clogs that were almost the exact color of some brown stones underneath the tree. There was a white sidewalk with only a piece of the walk remaining, and the tree trunk took your eyes as ''the viewer" to the top dark brown into the swirls of dark blue to the wooden part of the trunk to the very top as the sky was now peeping and peering through the tree as was the tiny fairy.
There is my redheaded little princess fairy standing as if she wanted her own portrait to be painted too. She stood oh so still. Little did she know that she was to become my extra special touch I so desperately needed to make this painting become alive and to live on my 100% cotton canvass. My little redheaded fairy was going to give this gigantic tree, thirteen Green Balls resting underneath the trunk on the ground life. My little princess fairy had just arrived in time for her portrait, and she was going to be the neatest living thing within my entire painting. She was lets say as a believer in our Presbyterian Doctrine, predestined to have appeared just at the right moment at the right spot to be my signature piece and the red cherry on the sundae of this painting!
Well, I got to know her and love her too. My fairy had a real name and it was Miss Marcie Carskadon. She was a real human being and a sure enough fairy as well. Her own fairyland was her home, and her favorite tree was in her yard where she day- dreamed, lived and played all day underneath this very Green Ball tree. My little fairy whom I had found that day had only let me borrow, enjoy, and capture on my canvas the portraits of her own tree and her the portrait of herself too. What a bargain. Marcie''s face and very being and presence was that of an angel, princess, and fairy. A head full of long red, red, red hair, the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen, and she had chosen green to wear that day too. She peeped and peered oh so silently and so quietly behind my main subject, the Green Ball tree. Marcie had given me the greatest gift a living, breathing, character of a real live fairy to get to paint. I wondered what she really thought of me, the artist? She probably thought I might be a strange "bag lady" underneath a colorful umbrella ...standing and then sitting in a tall red director's canvas back chair...with a tall huge fold up and fold out wooden table...filled with a big wicker basket filled with lots of art supplies. Marcie whispered who is she? I wonder who she really truly is?
I completed this painting on a cool, beautiful October 10, 1975 so many years ago when life was slow and simple. I often wondered about my little redheaded fairy? I thought if she only knew about how much it became my honor for me to get to meet, know and love you, Marcie, that day. I wondered if she were still around here in Starkville? Did she grow up to be a fine young lady? Did she go on to college? Did she marry and have a sweet family of her very own? Did one of her children have her beautiful red hair? Where is she today? What is she doing? Then I thought how very much I appreciated her coming into my life that day. Did my tiny and very petite little fairy like that of a slight breeze, She merely floated across my very canvas right besides the Green Ball tree trunk the moment I heard that front door slam and looked up from palette of many colors and spotted her. With only a few strokes of my brush, I got to paint a human being... and life was given to this painting and creation of mine was suddenly alive with the sweetness my tiny red-headed fairy who appeared within my very paints on my canvas.
A couple of years ago I found out that Marcie Carskadon did marry, She married Mr. Norman Mellon, our Starkville's Violin teacher. Marcie and Norman have one son and one daughter. They are Starkvillians. Marcie is in her 30's, and "Yes..." she was and is a most successful and outstanding young American lady today and will be for the rest of her life. I am so very proud of you, Marcie.
Hey, Marcie, you will always and forever be, my very own little...
red-headed little fairy girl playing "peekaboo" behind a green ball tree!

Billy turns her crime of passion into celebrity headlines, and in this town, where murder is a form of entertainment, she becomes a bona fide star--much to Velma's chagrin.

How did November creep up so soon? Luckily I finished these before November so I don't feel as guilty that they are late.
The log cabin is for Beki, I love the black center. I added quite a bit of my own fabric so I hope she likes it!
These tiny paper pieced log cabins are for Valerie. Honestly I'm amazed they turned out on the first try. Paper piecing + Me = Bad news.
And lastly some string blocks for Sandy.
These are going to be some awesome quilts when they're done!

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

By Michael Rushton, Contributing NFL Editor
(Sports Network) - Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie head coach Greg Schiano took
some heat for having his team play all the way to the final whistle last
The Dallas Cowboys didn't show much fight at all in their second game of the
season, however.
The Bucs will try to prevent the Cowboys from getting back on track this
Sunday in a battle of 1-1 clubs in Dallas.
After opening the season with a solid defensive showing that led to a 16-10
win over the Carolina Panthers, Tampa Bay traveled north to visit the
defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants in Week 2. Schiano's team found
its offensive footing, going up 27-13 on a Connor Barth 52-yard field goal
just 1:46 into the third quarter.
However, the Buccaneers failed to hold off the Giants, who put up 25 points
in the fourth quarter and capped the scoring on a two-yard touchdown run with
31 seconds to play, handing Tampa Bay a 41-34 defeat.
The game ended a bit chippy as the Giants looked to run down the clock with a
kneel-down following Tampa quarterback Josh Freeman's second interception of
the game that sealed the result. With the game decided, Tampa Bay's unit still
rushed the offensive line and knocked down Giants quarterback Eli Manning
during an attempt at forcing a turnover.
That led to New York head coach Tom Coughlin exchanging some words with
Schiano on the field after the game, but Tampa Bay's sideline boss didn't back
down from his players' actions.
"I don't know if that's not something that's done in the National Football
League, but what I do with our football team is we fight until they tell us
the game is over," Schiano said. "There's nothing dirty about it. There's
nothing illegal about it. We crowd the ball. It's like a sneak defense and we
try to knock it loose.
"We're not going to quit. That's just the way I coach and teach our players.
Some people were upset about it. I don't have any hesitation. That's the way
we play: clean, hard football until they tell us the game is over."
Tampa Bay, which lost its final 10 games of last season, will look to bring
the same style to Dallas in a matchup with a Cowboys team that couldn't build
off the momentum of their season-opening win over the Giants.
Dallas visited the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday and were trounced in a 27-7
defeat, committing a number of first-half mistakes before getting outworked in
the second half.
The Cowboys found themselves down by 10 points following a pair of special
teams turnovers. Felix Jones fumbled away the opening kickoff, leading to a
Seattle field goal, and Chris Jones had a punt blocked on the ensuing series
that was returned for a Tampa Bay touchdown.
"Ideally, you don't want to start the game off the way we did," said Cowboys
tight end Jason Witten. "It just wasn't a good game for us, (down) 10-0 before
we even got started, and then we just made too many mistakes."
Dallas was held to just 49 yards rushing and went from looking like Super Bowl
contenders after Week 1 to a team trying to avoid falling in an early hole.
Now the Cowboys have to take on a Bucs squad that will certainly have a chip
on its shoulder after last week's criticism.
Dallas head coach Jason Garrett didn't want to comment on his opponent's end-
game antics on Monday, instead opting to focus on his own club.
"Certainly, there's a style of football they're trying to implement down there
in Tampa and they feel that's in some ways indicative of how they want to
play, how they handle an end-of-game situation," he said. "So, we're going to
focus on our team and the things we have to get better at to prepare for that
Garrett's club should get a boost with back-to-back home games after beginning
2012 with a pair of road outings. Dallas has dropped two of its three home
openers at new Cowboys Stadium, but has won 12 of its last 18 such games
Cowboys lead 10-3
Streak: Cowboys have won last four meetings
Last Meeting: Cowboys 31, Buccaneers 15 (Dec. 17, 2011 at Tampa Bay)
Last Meeting at Site: Cowboys 13, Buccaneers 9 (Oct. 26, 2008 at Texas
Buccaneers HC Greg Schiano vs. Cowboys: 0-0
Cowboys HC Jason Garrett vs. Buccaneers: 1-0
Schiano vs. Garrett Head-to-Head: First Meeting
Notes: Buccaneers are 1-9 all-time in Dallas, which includes losses to the
Cowboys at the since-demolished Texas Stadium in a 1981 NFC Divisional Playoff
and a 1982 First-Round clash. Tampa Bay's lone road win in the series was a
10-6 decision in the 2001 season opener, and the team's last victory of any
kind over Dallas was a 16-0 home shutout on Oct. 26, 2003. Garrett spent a
portion of the 2004 season as a backup quarterback for the Buccaneers.

Tampa Bay: 29th overall (282.5 ypg), t16th rushing (104.5 ypg), 29th passing

Dallas: 50.0 percent (6 possessions, 3 TD, 3 FG) -- tied 11th overall
Tampa Bay made the most of its offensive chances last weekend versus New York,
racking up 34 points despite gaining just 307 net yards. Freeman (381 passing
yards, 3 TD, 2 INT) accounted for 243 of those through the air and connected
on touchdown passes with wideouts Vincent Jackson (9 receptions, 1 TD) and
Mike Williams (5 receptions, 2 TD). After unspectacular debuts with their new
team in Week 1, Jackson and fellow first-year Buc Dallas Clark (5 receptions)
played a big part in the offense, with Jackson making five catches for 128
yards and Clark adding four receptions for 33 yards. Freeman will look to get
the duo involved again this weekend and hopes that running back Doug Martin
can rebound from a disappointing 66-yard effort on 20 carries against New
York. Martin did find the end zone on the ground for the first time in the
rookie's career last Sunday, but had less of an impact after logging 118 total
yards in the Week 1 win over Carolina. Freeman will also have a new permanent
right tackle, with Demar Dotson replacing incumbent Jeremy Trueblood in the
starting lineup after performing solidly with the latter out with an ankle
injury against the Giants.
Dallas' secondary could be put to the test this week due to some injuries in
the secondary. Starting free safety Gerald Sensabaugh (5 tackles) has his
status in doubt due to a calf injury suffered versus the Seahawks, while
strong safety Barry Church (3 tackles) suffered a quad injury in the loss.
Church is likely to play this weekend, while reserve Danny McCray may be
called upon to replace Sensabaugh. Cornerback Mike Jenkins could also see time
at safety. Defensive ends Kenyon Coleman (3 tackles) and Marcus Spears (7
tackles) also came out of the Seattle came banged up, as did backup linebacker
Alex Albright. Dallas needs its secondary healthy given its struggles versus
the run this season. The Cowboys saw Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch
accumulate 122 of his team's 182 yards on the ground over 26 carries. Inside
linebackers Sean Lee (26 tackles) and Bruce Carter (15 tackles) will try to
slow down Martin on Sunday, while outside linebacker Anthony Spencer (14
tackles, 2 sacks) picked up two sacks a week ago.
With Dallas playing from behind against Seattle, the ground game only got 16
carries, with DeMarco Murray leading the way with 12 run attempts for 44
yards. Murray has big play ability, which he showed with a 20-carry, 131-yard
effort in Week 1, so the Cowboys should try to get him involved early. That
would also take some pressure of quarterback Tony Romo (558 passing yards, 4
TD, 2 INT), who had to attempt 40 passes and logged 251 yards in last week's
loss. He did hook up with wide receiver Miles Austin (9 receptions, 2 TD) for
a touchdown, but wideout Dez Bryant (7 receptions) managed just three catches
for 17 yards on seven targets. Austin and Witten (6 receptions) led the way
with 10 targets each in the Seattle game, with the former ending with five
catches for 63 yards and Witten -- a favorite target of Romo -- having four
receptions for 58 yards. One bright spot for the Cowboys' offense was that
Romo was sacked only one time despite numerous pass attempts.
Tampa Bay's defense needs a big rebound effort after getting torched for 604
yards by New York. The secondary had an odd game, intercepting Manning three
times and getting a 60-yard return for a touchdown on a pick by cornerback
Eric Wright (7 tackles, 1 INT), but also allowed Manning to throw for 510
yards and three scores without sacking him once. Cornerback Brandon McDonald
(9 tackles, 1 INT) and linebacker Mason Foster (18 tackles, 1 INT) also had
interceptions, while Foster added 13 tackles to go along with 10 stops by
rookie safety Mark Barron (13 tackles). The Bucs will certainly need a better
pass rush from the front four as well as outside linebackers Quincy Black (10
tackles) and Lavonte David (14 tackles) if they hope to keep Romo off-balance.
It has been an up-and-down season early on for the Buccaneers and Cowboys, and
both will be looking for redemption in this matchup. Both teams come in with
issues that need fixing, with Dallas looking to avoid making costly mistakes
and Tampa Bay trying to avoid giving up the big plays that dogged the team
last weekend. The Cowboys should have some extra fire this weekend in front of
the home crowd, and talents like Romo, Austin and Murray may be in for big
games against a defense that has struggled in stopping teams from moving the
ball. Tampa Bay's defenders will need to keep the plays in front of them or
risk getting blown out in Big D.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Cowboys 28, Buccaneers 20

These cute little blocks have been done, sitting in a box since March waiting to be used. They finally got their time at the sewing machine the other day:
I'm not a big fan of improv piecing like the this…I like the look of it but doing it is like doing a puzzle. I don't like puzzles. :) I'm in awe of quilters who love (and are good at!) doing improv all the time.
Luckily this one didn't take too much figuring out to get all the blocks sewn together and spaced how I wanted them…but you can see with all those little strips here and there…it takes some planning!

|Camp Yavneh
For the Whole Michpucha (Family)
Where oh where, can you take the whole family for vacation…and not just any vacation, but for a fun-filled, entertaining and active kosher getaway? One answer is go directly to Camp Yavneh, in Northwood, New Hampshire, a 30 minute drive from the Manchester NH airport. This year, Yavneh family camp will be held from Wednesday through Sunday, August 24 – 28, 2011.
Camp Yavneh was established over 65 years ago in 1944 and has provided a Jewish camping experience to approximately 6,000 young people. In 2004 Yavneh introduced Family Camp, an opportunity for Jewish families to spend four days and nights together for fun and learning. The camp offers activities for most age groups and interests. Over the last five years, family camp has attracted a growing list of 200-250 "campers" (50-60 families). One third of the families have attended for five years straight!
To get a glimpse into "family camp" we talked to Jody Fredman, camp program coordinator. We wanted to know about a typical day at camp …so here goes: (Tell us when you're too exhausted!)
And how about: Adult Iron Chef competition judged on taste, appearance and Jewish content; Wine and cheese tasting; Sushi making classes, and even a special mini-Israeli program, complete with food (Eggplant Salad with Lemon & Olive Oil and Matbucha – Tomato & Pepper Salad) and activities.
Shabbos at camp was described as a peaceful, meaningful, enriching family experience complete with Special Shabbat meals. Scholars-in-residence and a staff of professional educators offer optional sessions on various topics. Since attendees are from diverse backgrounds, the camp has both Orthodox and Egalitarian services. There is also a learner's minyan/service for those who would like to understand more about Jewish prayer. Three minyanim are available daily.
Of course, being food obsessed, we asked about the meals and menus. Check them out at CampYavneh/Food. The full camp breakfast was quite a "lure", especially after a morning of fishing!
About the Kashruth:
This is Jeff's 10th summer at camp. He manages all operational aspects of the camp as well as camp technology and the website. Jeff has an MBA from Babson College. We have discovered that Jeff is a serious foodie! He has shared his delicious personal recipe for Buffalo Wings with KosherEye.

Under a classic Camaro, big rear meats are as American as apple pie and superchargers. It's also more than just an aesthetic deal done to look cool. Larger tire width equates to more grip. With engines getting more and more potent, it's challenging to get that power mated to the asphalt, especially when the road becomes curvy.
Detroit Speed and Engineering (DSE) is in the business of making old iron handle like modern sports cars. Long ago, they saw the need for wider back tires and came up with a straightforward solution: Mini-tubs. Think of them as factory inner wheelhouses on steroids. We've covered the install of these sheetmetal marvels before, but this time we wanted to see how they would drop into a convertible . After all, why should coupes have all the fun?
Here's the key players in our little sheetmetal ballet. Designed to replicate the look of factory inner wheelhouses, these mini-tubs from Detroit Speed and Engineering (DSE) have one big difference: they're deep. How deep? How about enough room to stuff in a set of 335 tires?
The limiting factor on fitting big meats under a first-gen is the shock mount placement. If you are going with an aftermarket rear suspension like DSE's Quadra-Link, then you can just ditch these mounts. If you want to stay with leaf springs, then DSE has you covered with all the parts necessary to relocate the shock mounts inboard of the framerails. This ride is going four-link, so all we have to do is widen the tubs.
The first thing we came to grips with is that a convertible is not a coupe. Without the roof support, GM beefed up the support structure behind the rear seat, so there's a lot more metal tied into the stock inner wheelhouses. There's also the matter of the brackets for the convertible top which are also attached to the inner wheelhouses.
Even with these extra structures, the process for installing the mini-tubs is pretty close to how DSE instructs for the coupe. First, a line is scribed about 2 1/2-inches from the stock wheeltub. Remember, it's better to cut too small than too big.
Once this project is done, the seat back will be a few inches shorter due to the wider wheeltubs. Rather than take this out of the ends where we have nice flanges to work with, we decided to take it from the inside sections. This should give us a more factory look when we're finished.
With the cut made, we drilled out the spot-welds from the front and rear of the section we wanted to remove. We then cut it free from the stock wheeltub and removed it from the car. Once out, we cleaned up the flanges and put the seat braces aside until later.
Here's the biggest challenge compared to doing this surgery on a coupe. The bracket for the top mechanism can't be allowed to move up, down, or out. If it's off, then the top won't function properly. We tack welded a couple of braces in place to keep it positioned while we removed the stock wheeltub below it.
