Sunday Challenge – How Has Your Self Body Image Changed?
Revisiting Tapati's Body Image Workshop: Day One Assignment
by TapatiFind some images online, in card shops, in books or magazines, or elsewhere of women (or men) whose body type resembles your own. It's OK if this project takes more than one day, but spend at least 15 minutes per day on it until you have assembled several images. You might color-copy or scan some images if you go to the library to find them. When it comes to magazines, you might look in something other than fashion-oriented issues. Try everything from National Geographic to alternative press titles. Pagan magazines are a good bet for a variety of images.Older woman can find some wonderful images in a deck of cards entitled "Wisdom of the Crone." You can find them … [Read more...]
Revisiting Tapati's Body Image Workshop: Why Body Image Matters
by Tapati(Editorial note: after all this talk of modesty and body image I felt this is the right time to revisit Tapati''s entire Body Image Workshop. We all need to be reminded we're beautiful just as we are.)My involvement with the issue of body image came out of my encounter with the size acceptance movement in the late 1980s. I was fortunate enough to meet Ruah Bull, a body image educator. I had never heard of such a thing but soon I was exposed to her classes at Cabrillo College in Aptos, California. She had studied with body image guru Marcia Hutchinson and had joined with other large women to form a radical group that occasionally defaced billboards with thin models and … [Read more...]
Why Quiverfull Moms Do Not and Cannot Love Their Bodies
This is a repost from 2009. An excellent piece written by Vyckie that talks about how many QF moms think about their bodies after years of birthing. Worth revisiting now. Thanks Tapati for the reminder of what a powerful piece this is.by VyckieI beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (Romans 12:1)For the past week and a half, NLQ has been presenting the excellent material in Tapati's Body Image Workshop.

(Romans 12:1)For the past week and a half, NLQ has been presenting the excellent material in Tapati's Body Image Workshop.

Tapati's Body Image Workshop: Lines
by TapatiI remember the lines. You remember the lines. Team captains dividing us into the more or less worthy as we stood waiting for our doom. Nervous laughter accompanying some of the choices. The smell of perspiration pervading the gym as tension mounted and fewer of us remained to be chosen. No one wanted to be last. It was embarrassing enough to be among the last few. We would sell out our best friend rather than be chosen last. We promised God anything if only we would not be last.Sometimes the worst happened, and I would be the last one chosen. In that position I was supposed to act "cool," as if it didn't really matter to me. Over time, from this and other similarly humiliating … [Read more...]
Tapati's Body Image Workshop: The View From Both Sides Of The Easel
by TapatiThe Model: Five years ago I would have laughed at the suggestion I might be doing nude modeling for an artist. Nothing could have been further from my mind. I was only beginning to work on changing my body image. I was just beginning to appreciate my wide hips, powerful buttocks, smallish breasts, and round belly with its network of stretch marks like ribbons of fine silk. The only parts of my body I had always liked were my blue-green eyes and my soft, thick brown hair.It was a major step just to go to a beach or a pool in a swimsuit. First I had to know that I deserve access to the water just as much as any thin person. Then I had to use that knowledge as a shield when I … [Read more...]
Tapati's Body Image Workshop: Day Four Assignment
by TapatiThis assignment is meant to be interactive. It is a guided visualization followed by discussion or journal writing. You can handle this either by having someone read it to you, going slowly enough for you to visualize, or you can record it and then play it back for yourself. Before you do the visualization exercise, please start by getting into a comfortable position and relaxing with some slow, deep breaths. The concept for this exercise originated with Marcia Hutchinson although I am writing this version myself. You should check out her book, Transforming Body Image, for this and other wonderful body image enhancing activities! … [Read more...]
Tapati's Body Image Workshop: Taking Care of Ourselves
by Tapati1) Make a list of ten things you would do if you really loved your body. Pick one and start doing it now. As you progress you can choose other things from the list. This is an especially powerful exercise for those women who have been waiting to do nearly everything "until I lose those pounds."2) Create a support system of friends who support you in loving the body you have now. You may find that your circle of friends shifts as you seek out people who are supportive and leave behind people who won't accept your limits on negative body talk or diet propaganda. This requires a commitment to yourself--you realize that you deserve acceptance and won't settle for less.3) Surround … [Read more...]

WASHINGTON, D.C.-In the summer of 2004, CIA agent Theodore J. Higginbothem III was summoned by his boss to a hush-hush meeting in the basement of the National Museum of Health. "Higgy," his boss whispered in his ear, "the CIA has a top-secret, off-the-books domestic spying operation in which we keep tabs on our most ambitious presidential hopefuls. I want you to do a complete workup on Barack Hussein Obama. Where was he born? Is he a Muslim? Is he a socialist? Who is behind him? And what is Obama''s real agenda." THE OBAMA IDENTITY follows Higgy and his team as they travel all over the world-from Chicago to Mombasa to Honolulu to Jakarta and St. Petersburg, Russia-and encounter Birthers and Bushes, Katie Couric and Muslim clerics. Along their hilarious and madcap journey, Higgy and his crack operatives discover startling secrets about the 44th president of the United States-a man some call "The Chosen One" and others refer to as " an Obamanation." Among the many startling revelations in THE OBAMA IDENTITY: * What Obama''s Kenyan grandmother says about his birthplace * How a Muslim imam taught young Obama to apologize for America and bow to foreigners * How the Reverend Jeremiah Wright taught Obama to use the TelePromTer * What happened to the videotapes showing Obama high-fiving the Reverend Wright after one of his anti-American sermons * How financier George Soros brought about the collapse of the American economy to help elect Obama * Why Obama blames everything on George W. Bush except Katie Couric''s dismal ratings * How the Russians blackmailed Obama into canceling America''s anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe * Who came up with the idea of carving Obama''s face on Mount Rushmore right next to Abe Lincoln''s?

Deportivo La Coruna recorded back-to-back victories for the first time this season after a narrow 3-2 win over relegation rivals Real Mallorca. Victor Casadesus gave Gregorio Manzano's side the lead but a wonderful goal from Silvio put Deportivo back on level terms. Carlos Marchena gave the visitors the lead early in the second half and Riki extended their advantage, before Alfaro scored a late goal to set up a tense finish.
It was the fist time the Galicians had won away from home this season and although they remain bottom of the La Liga table, they moved to four points from exiting the relegation zone and survival is now a realistic possibility for Fernando Vazquez's side. With both teams in the relegation zone and fighting for their lives it was always going to be a hard-fought game, but Deportivo's players produced flashes of brilliance and overall were worthy of the three points.
Real Sociedad's push for a top-four finish suffered a slight setback as they were held to a 2-2 draw at Espanyol. While victory would have been a significant boost to their UEFA Champions League aspirations, they may have left the Cornella-El Prat thankful for a point as Javi Lopez's own-goal 14 minutes from time denied the hosts maximum points. It was the second time Sociedad had come from behind in the match, David Zurutuza scoring either side of strikes from Sergio Garcia and Christian Stuani in a busy first half.
Osasuna's hopes of avoiding relegation were handed a huge boost after they came from behind to beat hosts Valladolid 3-1.
An own goal by centre-back Ruben gave the hosts an early lead but two goals by Kike Sola within ten minutes after half-time put Jose Mendilibar's side in the lead, before Miguel De Las Cuevas scored his first goal for the club to make sure of the points. Patrick Ebert made his first appearance for Valladolid in over ten weeks after finally recovering from a thigh injury, while Osasuna were boosted by the return of top scorer Sola, who missed their last league match.
Atletico Madrid failed to reclaim second place in the La Liga table from Real Madrid after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia on a rain-soaked evening at the Vicente Calderon. Jonas gave the visitors the lead on five minutes but Radamel Falcao levelled the score a minute later.
The result was not of much benefit to either side. Atletico remain in third place, failing to capitalise on Real Madrid's 1-1 draw with Real Zaragoza on Saturday, while Valencia surrendered fifth position to Malaga and dropped down to sixth and out of the Champions League spots.

"What a treasure! This is an exquisite house, dating
back to 1775 but with an elegant Federal facade. It
retains all its original woodwork and working fireplaces
(in two of the five guest rooms as well as in common
rooms), and the stenciling in the front hall is thought
to be by Moses Eaton. Brits Peter and Jan Davidson have
restored all the original detailing and furnished the
house with appropriate antiques but kept things simple
and graceful.
The two upstairs front rooms and one downstairs (the
former North Parlor) are classically proportioned; a
smaller downstairs room (The Library) overlooks the
marshes. The Attic Room with exposed beams has two doubles
plus a ladder up to a Victorian sleeping bunk - good
for a family. The sitting room is comfortably furnished,
fitted with books and games, and there is a piano by
the fireplace in the dining room. A full breakfast is
served, but guests have access to the kitchen as well
as outdoor grills for other meals. The owners live in

Charlie Searle touched down Cantabrigian's first try on their way to a 23-0 win over Wisbech in London League 3NE.
Ali McCormick kicked a penalty after 15 minutes to get the scoreboard ticking and Cantabs then started to dominate the match.
With Wisbech unable to live with the Cantabs scrum, it was proving a useful weapon for the hosts. Dean James presented the ball well for the forwards and they moved it smartly to the right for hooker Searle to break down the wing to score in the corner for 8-0.
When the scrum got in full flow towards the Wisbech line, captain and No 8 Rich Ford dived forward unopposed for try No 2, which was converted by McCormick to make it 15-0 at half time.
McCormick got the first points of the second half through a penalty after 10 minutes.
The final score came with 15 minutes left. James was held up over the line and although their second scrum was halted, James moved the ball out for Josh Schmidt to score.
Cantabs are sixth in the table, six points behind leaders Norwich.
Andy Price had no complaints as Saffron Walden lost 15-3 at Chelmsford in London 2NE. They went ahead through a Tom Price penalty, but Chelmsford responded with an unconverted try and then took a 12-3 lead at half time. The scoring was completed with a penalty 10 minutes from time.
"It was a close game, to be honest, we never really created enough chances to win," said head coach Price.
"It was a very wet pitch and turned into a complete mudbath by half time.
"We defended very well but they just seemed to have the edge in the forwards not so much in the set-piece but in going forward.
"We had our opportunities and putting pressure on them all the way but they had the edge.
"We couldn't get over the gain line in the first phase, their defence was knocking us back."

I'm a divorced father of two, and they mean the world to me. I am a originally from Chicago and resently moved back to the city that I love from Atlanta. I enjoy going out dancing, outdoor activities, absolutely love live music (any genre) and of course trying new restaurants and new foods, but also enjoy staying in and watching a movie with a fine wine. This might seem crazy but in all honesty I love the theater , as I used to frequent it before my move and am looking forward to begin that tradition again. I absolutely love cooking and am very good at it, the joy of cooking is to see others enjoy your creations. I love to laugh and especially make others laugh, being silly is great but I can be serious and supportive when the time calls for it. I think a woman's beauty is in the way she smiles and laughs. I believe a woman's most beautiful asset is her imperfection as we all are imperfect humans. I am a natural romantic and believe that great conversation and laughter are the joys of life. I am looking for a woman with whom to enjoy life, someone who can have great conversation in any setting yet can get on the dance floor and salsa the night away despite not knowing how to dance. Someone outgoing and sure of who they are and what they want in life. I wear my heart on my sleeve and am not afraid of it, as I want to show my daughters that a real man is not one who hides his emotions. Just looking for a woman who truly is wiling to live, laugh and enjoy life. "To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer,to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life.

Inspiring Workspaces from Fellow Designers
If you need some ideas for your workspace, this post is for you. Browsing Dribbble, we noticed that they have a workspace tag where designers share their home offices with us. It's always inspiring to see neat workspaces, especially when we know we are seeing actual home offices of real people, and not some interior design shot. Check out the spaces we gathered here to get some ideas for your own home office.

Congratulations to Wade Garret for being the only designer not using apple. Cheers upon you Wade.
Nice article, always good to get some inspiration for our workplace.
J ThompsonMay 2, 2014
My very first thought too. Keep it real Wade.
evaMay 2, 2014
I'm afraid it's just the monitor not being apple, the keyboard looks suspiciously appleish to me, but I might be wrong.
Seriously, for all the "I'm an individualistig designer" philosophy the apple-conformism makes me want to puke.
All the rest is really nice, from white walls to sticking all your designs to your wall – i like.
ChrisMay 2, 2014
Yup, Wade seems just the monitor and mouse isn't apple. On the screen you can clearly see the osx dock sitting right there …
Andy AMay 6, 2014
Did anyone with a Windows / Linux PC based work area submit it? And if so were none of them considered inspiring? Or is it an automatic fail if you can't see it's running OS X?
Seriously is there not one designer out there with a custom box he designed and got his friend at a chop shop to make out of sheet metal?
A single guy running Win7 Photoshop on a PC set into a piece of 70s industrial furniture? Someone with a custom job sitting inside a Meiji Maki-e Japanese Papier Mache box?
Someone with a Mac who not only dared change the mouse and monitor but the keyboard as well?
Anything interesting at all? Or do you have to start with a Mac and then get given the creative freedom to put a poster up?
Jennifer CoyleMay 1, 2014
Hey Henry, thanks for including our Tony's workspace!
ChrisMay 1, 2014
I'm surprised to see only two people with a graphic tablets and almost everyone is using the mighty mouse which is slow and probably the most non-ergonomic mouse on the market.
Plus, none of the designers seem to be using a rather color consistent, matt glas monitor like a proper eizo or also the dell ultrasharp line which are arguably better value for money than apple screens. I would not be surprised if non of those are calibrated either.
This collection of workspaces is design over function at its best
Derek KimballMay 1, 2014
I'm diggin' Sean McCabe's workspace with all of the posters on the wall.
FarazMay 5, 2014
They are wonderful! You should create another post
AndreasMay 5, 2014
Well, it's all so… neat and clean? Does anybody actually use these desks? When I work, there's scribbles lying around, some pens and pencils, a notebook…
Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see somebody's setup, but these pics look like they were ripped straight out of an interior design catalogue.
Dan ExcelMay 9, 2014
Thumbs up to Adam Swisher for putting old books to great use…
My work area is a model for organize confusion, I found a machete around my desk today…

Source: Good Gear Guide
Much like the 13in version, the 15in version of the Series 9 is a little marvel. The thin profile and relatively light weight make it feel like a much smaller laptop than it is, and it's easy to carry to and from the office on a regular basis. It's stylish, it's quite comfortable to use, it runs quietly, and its performance is good for most typical office software, and even media-centric tasks.

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
3517U: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.9 - 3.0 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1150 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15.0": » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.7 kg: This sub-notebook weighs less than the average of all notebooks and represents a medium class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 11 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Samsung: The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international businesses, all united under the Samsung brand in South Korea. The meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars". The Samsung brand is one of the most important brands of South Korea. Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews.

Michigan Central Station PART I of IV
Posted 28 May 2005 - 01:57 AM
Located on Detroit's west side, Michigan Central Station was built in 1913. It has now sat abandoned for over two decades open to the elements. I feel it's important that these pictures are posted, to show everyone how necessary it is that this building gets renovated. I encourage you to view other photos of MCS taken only a few years ago and compare the damage over those years. The purpose of visiting this site was not to explore the station, but document it so that it will always be preserved in images. The Madison Lennox demolition proved that even the law cannot prevent Detroit's most historical structures from dissapearing at any given time. Hopefully this one won't be next.
I hope you enjoy this 4 part tour as much as we did visiting the station. I met up with Allan and he showed me around the place. Thanks for the tour! Anyway, here are the photos I took.
Front of the building
Major detail on the office tower.
Back of the station.
The inside tour will start from the basement on up. So here is the basement elevator lobby.
The basement was very disorienting. There were lots of hallways and tunnels that we didn't even go down since they seemed to go on forever.
A zoomed out shot of that hallway.
Some areas had light coming in from holes in the ceiling.
I think I'll turn around here.
So there's a tunnel that goes somewhere.
And this room took us nowhere, unless you have a boat.
The basment extends out the back, so there are some windows.
Connected to the back of the building is this parking garage. The tracks run above it. The camera didn't show the depth of it very well, so I'm not sure how far it goes back.
Apparently there are more Liltons in Michigan than just one.
And now we're on the first floor, entering near the restaurant.
Paneled waiting room (Women's waiting room?)
The restaurant oesn't look very appetizing, but the vaulting was architecturally fullfilling.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the steel was added to prevent the arches from spreading under lateral force.
Large windows
Broken roof of the waiting room. I'm not sure if that is what it actually was, so I'll refer to it as the 2nd room since it's at the back of the station. The first room, being that grand entry area.
Passanger dropoff area for motor vehicles.
Which then leads into the 2nd room.
Looking through the station from the rampway to the platforms
2nd room
The sun finally shined in for a brief moment illuminating the brickwork.
I'm still researching this building, so if anybody has some valuable info, feel free to post it.

I hope it'll one day get fixed.
Best of luck in your research.
I'm not from the area, so what is the station for?

Maybe one of the proposals will pass.
I wish I could help, but I don't live anywhere near Detroit....I live in Douglasvill, GA, to be exact.
Look forward to the rest of the series.

the vaulted ceiling in the restaurant had that steel in it because it later had a drop ceiling.
Good pics
Oh okay, I thought that was likely a reason too. Might as well keep it in anyway for the time being, since things are beginning to fall apart.

Why the NFL's Best Team Won't Win the Super Bowl
Despite Seattle being just as strong as it was in 2013—if not outright better—there's one convincing reason it won't lift the Lombardi again. Plus, the Rams' sad turn, Arizona uncovers a gem and 20 thoughts after the NFL's dress rehearsal
RENTON, Wash. — One after one, they fell out of the sky, these perfect or near-perfect throws downfield from Russell Wilson, always landing close to, or in the hands of, a sub-4.4 sprinter like Percy Harvin or wispy rookie Paul Richardson. I mean, always on target. Such beautiful deep balls, and isn't Wilson supposed to be a system quarterback or game manager, or whatever negative connotation you can think of when you don't want to acknowledge he's a top 10 quarterback in the league after two seasons and one Lombardi Trophy?
"His ball's so good it looks like it's coming out of a JUGS machine," Richard Sherman said.
There's nothing not to like here. Maybe the offensive line, which worries the smart football people in the building. But nothing else. If the Seahawks stay relatively healthy, they should be favored to be the first team since the Patriots (2003, 2004) to repeat as champs.
But I'm not picking them. History is the reason. Stuff happens. It always does. And the game is justsoclose. Since New England's second Super Bowl win a decade ago, and not including the '13 Seahawks, this is the total playoff victories of the eight Super Bowl champions the following year:
I can't give away my pick here; it'll be in Sports Illustrated this week, in the annual pro football preview. I feel good about the pick, but I also feel that, of the 27 teams I witnessed in person this summer (at 22 camps, four games and one joint practice session), Seattle's the best I saw. Stubbornness is a good reason why one of the other 31 teams will be my call, but the reality of repeating is that it's become the toughest thing to do in sports. Think of it: For eight straight years, the defending champ has either not made the playoffs or hasn't gotten past its first playoff game.
By what I saw in camp with the 'Hawks last Monday, I just might be blissfully unaware. This team's stacked. The biggest thing might be the health of Harvin, who is as dangerous a non-quarterback as there is in football. Watching him run around the field on a pristine August day in Seattle, you almost forget what a mess Harvin was last season, when his year was wrecked by a torn labrum in his hip that required surgery. He was never right until Super Bowl Sunday. Harvin sure looks right now.
"That was the big frustration," Harvin said. "Not practicing one day, trying to practice the next day, not feeling right, sitting out a few days, maybe being 60 percent for a few days. Frustrating. This year, I'm flying all over the place. Totally different world."
"Iron sharpens iron," Richard Sherman said. "Him practicing against our defense, Russell practicing against our defense and working with Percy, I think we're going to be improved."
Pete Carroll hasn't focused on the R word. "Teams not repeating—that's not topical to us," he told me. "I just asked them to have the best offseason of their lives and to come back ready. They have. It's all about putting your work in to be better. Just get better. Practice better, study better, play better. Do we maintain the same kind of intensity we had last year? I think so. But you've got to have the right guys. Like, Russell pulls his receivers together today before a drill and says, 'Guys, okay, this next drill, full speed, catch every ball, it's important. Let's get better.' ''
More Seahawks: The MMQB's Seattle training camp page
Hard for any team that won the Super Bowl by 35 points to look better the next year. But if Harvin plays every week—which is no lock, with his recent injury history—I could well be eating my prediction in five months. Which, as you know, will be nothing new.
And now for some stories from the end of my camp trail. My trip ended Saturday night with the completely forgettable Dallas-Miami game.
Well Mr. King, you may still be right, but I don't think you expected this match up. Just one thing...smugness and human interest stories on a Patriots win or extremely technical reasons why the Patriots gave the game away?
Watch the HAWKS repeat
A signing bonus is money gone when the player signs. Literally money just for the signature. If teams are in such hurry to give those away, that's because it makes financial sense somewhere. Why teams waste this much money on potential disasters, might have to do with executives not paying the money out of their own pocket. If they couldn't afford to make those mistakes, they wouldn't take the chance. Why a reporter would choose to blame the system, and go as far as to wonder why such a bonus should still be paid when the player fails afterwards, is the real mystery here.
Peter King needs to understand the difference between statistics and probabilities. Also the mathematical law of Regression towards the mean. These mathematical principles will show that the Seahawks are much more likely to win back to back super bowls, not less likely.
People have a tendency to see patterns where there are none that actually push them to think that the probabilities of something happening are going to stick with the way they have in the past. That is actually backwards. As things on one extreme, in this case not having back to back Superbowl wins, it is actually more likely that a future super bowl will have one. This is the law of Regression towards the mean.
This law can be easily demonstrated by the rolling of a standard 6 sided die. Probability wise the average die roll is going to be 3.5 of course it is impossible to roll a 3.5 and it is just as likely to roll a 1 as it is to roll a 3. If a d6 is rolled 3 times you could end up with a 4, 5, and 6. Statistically it means that your average roll is a 5. Probability wise your average roll is still going to be 3.5. Odds are that the next 3 rolls are going to be lower than the current average of 5. That doesn't mean that you can't roll a 5 or a 6 and continue to have a high statistic, it is just that the probabilities of it are lower and it is much more likely that the over all average roll is going to eventually even out.
Where this goes in to play with football is that analysts, who know football quite well but statistics not so much, tend to adjust the probabilities to meet the historical statistics instead of expecting the statistics to line up more with probabilities. Now to contradict myself slightly, this can in fact have a real effect on the game and that is because of the human factor. Each player is a human and has emotions, expectations, and aspirations. If a player on a team is told about the incorrect probabilities and buys in to them they may end up having an expectation to lose. I think that has had an effect on some previous teams that they didn't expect to win the next superbowl because they already had a ring. Inside their minds, psychologically, they set themselves up for failure and throw off the probabilities of another ring. This brings me to why I think the Seahawks will be the one to end that trend. You just can't get under their skin. They have the determination and don't follow the post-superbowl curse myth that ESPN likes to throw around. I'm not going to guarantee that the Seahawks will win the next Superbowl. I'm just saying that probability wise they have the best chance of any NFL team and have the mentality to do so.
no stories on the Patriots? this old dude has lost it
Most of you Hawk fans are basing everything on if the Seattle D stays healthy and remains the top D or a top three D in the league. Wilson is just average, so forget about the O opening up with him as QB. Seattle's O line which is very good and with the top flight run game intact Seattle can make a run of it again but if you are depending on the average Wilson....forget it! You will see soon enough what he is when the D weakens and Lynch is gone and the O line loses more players. Andrew Luck he isn't Seattle fan!
Vegas has Seahawks at 6-1 or 16.7%. Not far from the 15% someone posted based on history.
Likely Seahawks will open up the offense; Carroll has signaled it; receivers look good, fast and a lot stronger than last year; Wilson has digested the second year, weathered a rough patch; he seems even better in the preseason. Imo Wilson is vastly underrated. I see a similarity to Brees' growth from 2005 to 2006 where he was turned loose.Brees went to a new team with a different approach. Carroll/Schneider have built a team capable of a different offense approach.
This is not your father's Seahawks. The Game Manger label will have been long forgotten after 2014 season. Hawks 2014 will be substantially different and better than Hawks 2013. I'd think they are 4-1 to repeat (is it re-Pete?)
I do have to say that it is interesting that the logic that seems to preclude Seattle from winning does not seem to have an affect on Denver in the media, even though a Superbowl loser winning the next year is considerably rarer than a repeat winner. Plenty of picks for Denver but Seattle is destined to succomb to the repeat curse. Irony at its finest.
This is not analysis. This is just Peter picking some trivia (that we all already knew) to try to be original. Peter, if you are not going to make your picks based on analysis, does that mean that you are just picking your teams out of a hat (or something else). You don't have to dig very far to see that most SB champs lose alot of their talent after players go search for the big paycheck. The Seattle situation is different because they are an improved team this year after already being dominant last year.
Obviously, anyone can get hurt, but why base your picks on that?
People that truly believe Seahawks will not repeat, are the same people that put all their hope into some vague statistic. Team X has never beat Team Y in an outdoor stadium, in 40 deg temperature, in the central time zone, in the month of December, when the wind is blowing from the SW, when coming off a bye week. When its never happened, people tend to think it never will, even when faced with reality. Makes an interesting factoid, but its nothing Vegas would ever base their odds off of.
Good luck Seahawk fans. I watched them decimate the Bears in the 3rd preseason game and there was a noticeable difference in talent. The Bears have a good core of skill-position players on offense but the defense is all on the wrong side of 30 at too many critical positions. Also, the entire team is made up from FA acquisitions on one year deals. That says more about the late Jerry Angelo as GM than anything.
The Seahawks are built from the ground up through the draft and have a nice core of young in-their-prime players that would seem to be together for quite a while.
The Hawks are going to be a fun team to watch this year.
Repeating is so difficult because every game the Super Bowl champ plays next year becomes mega important to each opponent. It's a way for each opponent to see how they measure up to the defending champ (almost like a mini playoff game each week). It's a very tough road.
The NFL's best team didn't win the Superbowl last year, so...
History is a horrible indicator of future results when it comes to predicting football games.
More accurate predictors are things such as strength of roster (starting talent as well as depth), strength of schedule, and strength of their opponents.
History actually has little to no predictive value whatsoever.
Point is, if Peter King thinks that the Seahawks have the best team, then that is a MUCH better indicator of possible future results than history is.
How do (ostensibly intelligent) people not understand this?
I would just like to say that if the odds of repeating a Super Bowl win is measured by the loyalty of the fan base the the Seahawks will win in a walk! Just reading this forum here shows me that Russell Wilson hasn't been this protected since he was in utero...
Buffalo made a huge mistake with EJ and i said it from the day he was drafted as a die hard FSU fan and a lifelong Bills fan watched this kid all thru college there was nothing that made me say Wow, hes a good person and comes from a good family. the Bills tried to make a splash with the media hyping the ultra mobile QB's at the time i said it was a fad and still believe it being so the NFL you need to use your feet second, throw 1st, and somewhere in there have to be smart, now with that draft, RG3 is being challenged by Cousins, Andrew Luck a big mobile guy w smarts and big arm got his team to playoff twice, he will only get better when the line in front of him gets better than watch out.
EJ, has a decent line that has gotten better, he either needs to push the ball up field or sit on the sidelines and watch, we won games last year with a 3rd string QB.
take a page from SF's JH there is no job safe!!!
Maronne grow a set your also playing for your career here, stop coaching like a minor leaguer another hire i thought was a joke
only way we stay in news cause JA Bon Jovi trying to move our team
a angry rant, i hope im wrong but another 8-8 year in the horizon
Seattle is a team that is better than the 2013 and 2012 playoff teams in many ways and still have good depth ...whether they make it back to the SB, who knows a lot can happen over a season. I will say this about Seattle after seeing them last year in training camp and following this year closely...they may actually have a pretty good O-Line this year...and better depth there...they have one of the best backup QB's in the league...and their receivers and RB's are better than last year...they still have really good special teams...and their D is still very good...even without Clemmons, Red, Clinton and Thurman...rather than concern themselves with the SB...they believe that every week is a championship opportunity...that approach payed dividend in 2013...I like the ROI in 2014 as well.
Well.....I don't know about that....I'm not saying that Seattle WILL repeat, but I wouldn't rule it out, either. A strong defense with a lot of good young players on the roster is a pretty good formula for success. Their division doesn't look to be as good as last year, either.
@Divinewind At least know something about the Seahawks if you're gonna critique them. So you're a mind reader and we think that a Super Bowl happened just because the defense? No one said that. The D doesn't even need to be the top unit in the league and still be fantastic. And Wilson is "average" and the oline is "very good"? Sounds like this is more of your wishing well than anything. You have no basis to your dribble and obviously with the "great oline" and "average qb" line you have no grasp of what the Seahawks are really about
@Divinewind Just the fact that you're calling Wilson "average" demonstrates how clueless you are.
@Divinewind Another poster without a clue.
The offensive line is and has been average to below average.
Seattle D is two deep. They can and have survived injuries.
Wilson is average? What stat are you referring to? By the way his QB rating is 150 this preseason.
Lynch has two stellar back ups, one that many think will be a star.
Thanks for playing.
@Zevhagadol Open up the offense? With Russell Wilson as your QB....surely you jest!
He is of average talent. Seattle's powerful D....good for better field position and a top flight RB with an excellent O line is the reason the Seahawks are a top notch team. We will see soon enough how average Wilson is when the D and O line weaken and Lynch is gone. (within two years)
@Zevhagadol your right, 4-1, the Pack will beat them!
@rkrause63 Seattle "dont get no" respect from the media. Thats ok we are used to that. The level of hypocrisy is a little high when I turn on the tv and they talk about (like you say) the good chance that Denver will be in the superbowl and completely ignore Seattle because (I guess) of the repeat curse. Seattle has only one Prime time appearance on tv this year and yet they are the champs. At the end of the season I will again hear how there is no stopping Manning and his award winning offense and again the Seahawks will blow them out.
@scoutxx Really? How do you figure? Who do yo think the "best team" was?
The Seahawks play in the best division in the NFL, only lost once at home all season and destroyed the Broncos in the Super Bowl by 35 points.
And, actually, the team that wins the Super Bowl is, by default, the "best team" since games are won on the field, not on paper or in fantasy football stat land.
@RobKnorr Actually, you're wrong. He's not talking about 'predicting football games' - he's talking about predicting the LAST football game of the season (and he's taking the field vs the incumbent). The best team in football (on paper) typically doesn't win the Super Bowl. It's all about match ups in the playoffs, unpredictable things happening, and injuries. How do you discount the fact that not a single Super Bowl champ in 8 years has even WON a playoff game?? Pretty compelling stuff, but ignore it if you like.
You're not as intelligent as you think you are, but that's 'par for the course' for average intellects...
@Wombat Especially since the loud mouthed, punk,POS Richard Sherman started buying his whole team Adderall.........
@Wombat well said, and you're exactly right. I am a Seahawks fan in the Seattle area, and I've never seen such enthusiasm. It's almost scary.
@PO'D in boca Sorry buddy, but 8-8 would be a miracle for the Bills this year. With an improving division, little talent on both sides of the ball, a bad QB, and a terrible OC (especially with how they use Spiller), I'm picking them as a bottom three team. 4-12 might be generous.
@DavidMessinger Did you wet yourself little boy?
@Divinewind @Zevhagadol This is just the partial resume of the "average" Russell Wilson:
NFL records and achievements
- 2012 Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year
- Most passing touchdowns in a season by a rookie (26, tied with Peyton Manning)
- 2× Pro Bowl (2012, 2013)
- Most passing yards in a playoff game by a rookie (385 yards)[87]
- Most regular season wins by a quarterback in his first two seasons (24); most total wins in first two seasons (28, including playoffs)[88]
- Super Bowl XLVIII Champion (2014)
@Mech @rkrause63 Actually, Mech, I'm not sure where you are getting your information from. Seattle has 4 prime-time games this year. Week 1 opener, Week 5 MNF, Thanksgiving night, and Week 16 SNF. You get plenty of respect. You guys are still listed as number 1 defense and a top 10 offense. Most analysts are picking you guys to repeat. So I'm not sure where the "we don't get no respect" (watch double negatives please) comes from.
If you mean respect, like respect the players, well you have arguably the most annoying fans in the league and your players talk a lot of smack before the game even starts (see your saints game last year where you just ran up to saints players and got in their face during warm-ups). You are kind of known as the dirtiest team in the NFL, you don't get the type of reputation idly.
Most fans of a team that just won a super bowl think their team is underrated and that they should be heralded as a dynasty and greatest all time immediately. They are usually wrong, as this article points out. But either way, if you are gonna complain about your teams attention, at least get your facts straight.
@duckfan59 @scoutxx Go watch Super Bowl 40.
@Joebuckster @RobKnorr And for you below average intellects? It's over estimating your own intelligence.
@Joebuckster @RobKnorr And for you below average intellects?
@Joebuckster @RobKnorr First, I am not sure why you felt that an ad hominem attack was called for, but, since I happen to know my I.Q. test score, I am exactly as intelligent as I think I am.
Second, he is in fact talking about predicting football games...do you not consider the "LAST football game of the season" a football game? I do!
I agree that it's all about the matchups in the playoffs, but apparently you fail to realize that, saying that supports MY point, which is that history has little to do with making future predictions about football games, but the strength of roster, schedule and opponent do.
I am aware of the history of recent champions failures to repeat, I am also aware that the biggest reason for that wasn't because of the added difficulty of repeating, but rather the fact that several of those teams weren't as good the following season as they had been previously.
Bottom line is that, if you're going to say that the Seahawks are the most talented (best) team in football, then pick AGAINST that team just because of history, that is really terrible logic.
Hmm Joe, where does he mention the "field"? He said he is picking another team, just not the one he thinks is the best.
The best team typically doesn't win the super bowl?
You're not as intelligent as you think you are, but that's 'par for the course' for average intellects...
@Joebuckster @RobKnorr I agree with Rob, and so does Vegas. Just because there has been a trend of super bowl winners losing the next season, Peter goes illogical and says Seattle won't do it, right after listing the reasons why they should. Have the past 8 super bowl winners fielded an equally talented, possibly even better team the next year? Have the past 8 winners been coached by Pete Carroll, a guy who won multiple college titles and knows how to handle success? Have the past 8 teams been as young as Seattle, with a QB still improving, and with all of its pro bowl talent still in its prime?
Everybody wants to "pick the field" because Seattle repeating seems unlikely, but that isn't what Peter is doing. He's actually going to pick a team. ESPN picked Denver, largely for the same reason Peter might, and that's just as bad as picking Seattle, from a historical perspective. Super bowl losers are even more historically unsuccessful than winners, and Peyton Manning just showed us how great a super bowl QB he is, and Denver's supporting cast is full of holes, even after signing a CB and a LB that are pretty good. If you want history, look at the history of teams with top scoring defenses, top running games, and a roster full of pro bowl level talent on both sides of the ball. Those teams do pretty well. Seattle is fully equipped to make another run, and they're already playing better than they were at the end of last season, so go ahead and pick a lesser team based on history, but I'm taking Seattle to repeat.
Impressive my man!(Or woman)? Anyhow… Awesome stats!
Watch the HAWKS repeat
@RobKnorr @Joebuckster RobKnorr, you're the only guy making any sense on this page, and I appreciate having at least one other guy on here who understands basic reasoning.
@BigSchtick you make Homer Simpson look pretty smart.
@BigSchtick @Joebuckster @RobKnorr Your all idiots if you ask me.
@davidhd @Joebuckster @RobKnorr I can see your point as to teams keeping their roster. But other super bowl teams have kept their rosters and still gotten no where the next year. The giants and the packers are the big ones that come to mind. Packers had a great super bowl run, no one could stop them. Then they kept the same roster next year and went 15-1. Lost at home to the giants, who ended up winning the whole thing. The giants that barely made the playoffs, but got hot at the right time and went to win the super bowl. Until last year, we had a very impressive streak where a wild card team made it to and sometimes won the super bowl. History is a very good indicator. No indicator should be singled out, but you can't discount it.
As far as Seattle being better than last year, I think that will be the case for Russel nad perhaps Harvin if he can stay healthy which would make Rice maybe valuable again, which he hasn't been since his days with Favre. But otherwise, you guys lost way more talent than you brought in. Everyone you brought in is either a draft or an leftovers from another team like a Packers OL (if you need a packers released OL... things must be bad on your line). You kept msot of your key players but lost some big ones like Golden Tate (terrible receiver but good jump ball) Breno Giacomini, Red Bryant and Chris Clemons were monsters whom you lost, Clinton McDonald, Brandon Browner, and Walter Thurmond. You were talented enough on defense to survive some of those losses but that D-line is gonna rest a lot on Avril if it has a shot at being as dominant. I see a lot of teams taking advantage of this and going with the run on you as you do on others. You will still likely win the division and possibly 1st seed. But as or more dominant than last year? Sorry, I don't see it. Still one of the best teams though.
@davidhd @Joebuckster @RobKnorr Thank you davidhd, you perfectly restated my position.
Peter King's entire reasoning for picking against what he considers the best team is based on a logic fallacy.
@PhillyPenn You forgot to add "pal", "Bro". Just curious if you have an original thought Philly.
@donald5. @BigSchtick @Joebuckster @RobKnorr You might want to make sure YOU'RE using the right form of your/you're before you start calling people idiots or you really end up looking like an....uh....idiot.
@donald5. @BigSchtick @Joebuckster @RobKnorr Who the fu#@ asked you Donald Duck???........
@BigSchtick @PhillyPenn I've been sharing them but you don't recognize originality, Homer. You're too much of a drone.

Re: Korn's Most Sexual Songs
Seriously, not a lot of Last Legal Drug????

Be a good girl,
Hold your breath,

You say yes as you feel it.
F'ing for love might be the last legal drug.
And My Gift To You too.

Around 15 percent of readers looked for quality of sales services provided by the distributor.
Other results of the poll show; 10 percent of resellers choose their distributor by its product range; 3 percent look for smaller partners to work with and 2 percent prefer the big guys.
Interestingly enough 6 percent of readers said they bypass distributors and purchase their products straight from the vendor.

WoWWiki-Oryx/Raider Man
< User:WoWWiki-Oryx
this wiki
This is a silly article
This article is silly. Coming from a source other than the computer games, trading card game, novels, RPG, or manga, its content is not part of official Warcraft lore, but nevertheless has become part of the culture belonging to the World of Warcraft community.
A satirical song about the woes of the non-raiding Warcraft player:
To the tune of Billy Joel's "Piano Man"
Raider Man
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old troll sitting next to me
With bags full of cloth to turn in
He says, son, can you run me through Zul'Gurub
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's big and it's leet and I'd know it complete
If I wore a raider-man's clothes
La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
Run us a raid, you're the raider-man
Run us a raid, tonight
Cause we're all in the mood for some epix
And we wish we could find a good fight
Now the alt at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets his own twinks for free
And he's quick with the lore, except for the Core
But that's the place he'd rather be
He says, Zill, I believe this is killing me
As another alt enters its teens
Well I'm sure that I could be the Main Assist
If I could get rid of these greens.
La la la, de de da
La al, de de da da da
Now Shine is a Timbermaw grinder
Who always has "dates" with his wife
And he's talking with Zavi, who's still in the AV
And probably will be for life
And that warlock is trying to sell Fiery
But her customers just want to get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call boredom
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Run us a raid, you're the raider-man
Run us a raid, tonight
Cause we're all in the mood for some epix
And we wish we could find a good fight
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And Blizzard gives me a smile
'Cause they know it's my gear they've been coming to see
To forget about theirs for a while
And my weapon, it flames like a bonfire
And my purple gear dazzles their eyes
And I stand at the bank and equip as main tank
And say, man, what are YOU doin' here?

After answering an SOS, a crew (Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, John Hurt) encounters a merciless and horrific creature aboard a space tanker.
In the prosperous, optimistic days that followed World War II, Americans dreamed of a utopian future made possible by advances in technology. In this gleaming future, all menial labor would be performed by robot servants, sparking a new Renaissance as Americans found themselves unfettered from the need to work. But, during the counterculture movement of the 1960s and '70s, when many Americans began to distrust the government and other established institutions, robots and technology were increasingly viewed with suspicion and paranoia. Increasingly, visions of the future of human-robot relations tended toward the antagonistic, if not the apocalyptic, with the smarter, faster, stronger machines intent on supplanting human beings or wiping us out, altogether.
Whether you believe that we humans will always be able to keep our technology on a leash or you're of the variety that predict we will inevitably be challenged for supremacy of the earth by our humanoid creations, both of those future scenarios recently became closer to reality with the unveiling last month of the "world's most high-tech humanoid," a robot with lifelike features and expressions and working artificial human organs.

A mom writes: "Is it a good idea for my husband to coach our daughter's soccer team?" Show Notes

Dear Dr. Bill,
My daughter is 8 years old and very athletic. She does very well in gymnastics. Yet, she lacks discipline and struggles in soccer, where her dad is the coach.
The soccer season is starting up again, and I'm dreading the inevitable fights and meltdowns between them. My daughter doesn't want to disappoint Dad — but she's getting nothing out of soccer. What do you recommend we do?
Dear Lisa,
I believe the best solution is for your daughter to move to a different soccer team, one that is NOT coached by her dad. Some sports leagues don't allow parents to coach their own kids, and for good reason.
They've made this rule for one of two reasons: either the parent engages in favoritism, giving their own child special breaks that the other kids don't get, or the parent is extra hard on their child, pushing them to the limit and criticizing them more harshly than the other kids on the team.
It sounds like your husband falls into the "no special breaks for my kid" camp, and your daughter is miserable because of it.
If your husband is a super-competitive type, he may make the mistake of basing worth on achievement, and affirming your daughter only when she succeeds. That can have a negative impact on her self-esteem for the rest of her life. It will also put a strain on their relationship, and major explosions will occur when she reaches the teen years.
While we should encourage our kids to develop self-discipline and pursue excellence, it's critical that our relationship with them is based on unconditional love and acceptance.
We need to be their biggest cheerleaders, affirming them when they succeed and encouraging them when they fail.
By the way, a great book that would be helpful for you to read with your husband is "Grace Based Parenting," by Dr. Tim Kimmel.
Thanks for writing, Lisa. If you have a question for me about family issues or Christian living, click the "Questions" tab on the Culture Connection page.

Originally written on The Sports Rocker | Last updated 10/30/12
As if the season wasn't bad enough for Gene Chizik and Auburn, it looks like it might be getting worse, at least on the surface."So, I think we were pretty awfu- I'm starting next week?"Today, Auburn announced that freshman quarterback Jonathan Wallace will be the starting quarterback this weekend when perennial Bottom 5 contender New Mexico State comes to town. In case you missed it, Wallace was the third string quarterback, after Kiehl Frazier and Clint Moseley.In last weeks 21-63 roasting by Texas A&M, Wallace was inserted after starter Frazier was sacked four times, and Moseley injured an ankle. Like I said above, this is only on the surface. For Auburn fans, though, knowing you're starting a freshman quarterback in the SEC might be cause to panic. Oh, but Auburn, that ship has already sailed.The Tigers are almost last in points per game and near the top in sacks allowed. And it's not like New Mexico State is going to bring the pain train by any means. New Mexico State does average more points, but i'm 999% sure that is a result of playing in the pass-happy WAC versus the "we actually play defense" SEC. The Aggies also give up 33 points per. If Chizik is itching for a change, this is definitely the time to pull the trigger.Chizik better hope he looks like a genius. Scheduling this game looked like a cake walk when they signed the deal. Now, Chizik has to be sweating bullets. If the Aggies actually pull the upset, Chizik is a dead man walking. And THIS would be one of the biggest upsets in college football, ever.
