Draft Breakdown Debate: Ryan Lownes vs. Rob Engle
1. Which player will be the Carolina Panthers' First Overall Pick?
RYAN: I have said it since January; I expect the Panthers will wind up taking Cam Newton with that first pick. They will surely consider Missouri's Blaine Gabbert and Alabama Defensive Tackle Marcell Dareus, but in the end I believe the Heisman Trophy winner holds the edge. After taking Jimmy Clausen with their first pick (Second Round) a year ago, many will believe the Quarterback position already has its' young heir. Unfortunately, the Notre Dame product proved himself to be mentally weak, ineffective as a passer, and he appears unlikely to have convinced the new coaching staff. A common misconception is that Clausen was a big investment for GM Marty Hurney, but in reality, he makes far less than $1 million a year. Additionally, the team publicly declared they would replace him if Andrew Luck were to enter this years' draft.
So why Cam Newton if they do go Quarterback? It may sound funny, but I think they will approach the pick with a "go big or go home" attitude. With Gabbert, there is some concern that he may lack the thick skin needed to take punishment and improve through adversity. Newton spent the second half of the 2010 college season playing while enduring a media-frenzied NCAA investigation. How did he handle it? Every week he got better and he eventually led Auburn to a National Championship. There is reason to believe Cam loves the spotlight and thrives in it. As the Panthers are in dire need of a new franchise face, this appears to be a perfect fit. He may not be the most NFL-ready prospect in this draft, but he continues to improve with more on his plate. So even though they could take the "safe" way out and go with a defensive player, I expect Carolina to roll the dice on the 2011 class' poster boy.
ROB: I've always thought that the Panthers had five options for the first pick, and to the surprise of many, Blaine Gabbert isn't one of them. I've felt that the Panthers options were: AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, Cam Newton, Nick Fairley or Marcell Dareus. My reasons for these 5 players are simple. AJ Green and Patrick Peterson are the two highest rated players on my board, Nick Fairley and Marcell Dareus are the top defensive lineman in a very talented class, and finally, I think Cam Newton is the only Quarterback option for the reasons my colleague stated.??It is known by most now that Blaine Gabbert has some of the worst pocket presence of any top Quarterback in recent memory. That alone should scare the Panthers away from taking the Missouri QB with the number 1 pick.??The Panthers will likely be scared away by Fairley's baggage, and I don't think that Dareus was dominant enough in 2010 to warrant being the number 1 overall pick. The #1 hype for Dareus came as soon as everyone started to question Fairley, who at the time everyone had going number 1. So, naturally, Dareus was the next best choice to put in that spot.??Although I tend to agree with Ryan that Cam Newton's odds of being picked number 1 increase with every passing day, to play Devil's Advocate I'll say that I think one factor in the final decision could be the new CBA. The Panthers know that there will be a rookie pay scale and because the first overall pick isn't going to be the investment that it usually is, the Panthers may be more inclined to take the safer route and select AJ Green or Patrick Peterson with their pick.
2. Who is the most Overrated player in this year's draft?
ROB: If you had asked me this question two months ago, I would have probably told you Colorado Offensive Tackle Nate Solder, who at the time was some people's top OT. Solder has fallen down most boards, now, probably close to where he should be – an early second round prospect.
Now, I'm forced to sound redundant and talk about how Blaine Gabbert suddenly jumped from decent QB project with tools you like, to possibly being the first overall pick. People assume that because the last time there wasn't a Quarterback taken in the top 3 picks was 2000, there has to be a QB taken early in this draft as well. Unfortunately, this year the Quarterback class has many more questions than answers and because Blaine Gabbert has the least number of questions, he automatically shot up to the top QB on many boards. This makes no sense in my mind. With every NFL prospect, there are more questions than answers and our job is to find out what we know.
?We know that Gabbert lacks instincts that every starting QB in the NFL needs – he has no idea how to let a pocket form around him and he doesn't react well to pressure. That should automatically be a huge red flag to everyone. Coaches can't teach instincts, plain and simple. Coaches can correct a flaw in throwing mechanics, or how the player reads defenses, but how they move in the face of pressure is instinctual. It's not to say that Blaine Gabbert can't be a good NFL quarterback, because he could be. But when you're drafted in the top 10, you're expected to preform within 2 years and I think Gabbert might need more time to develop than that.
RYAN: Rob, I'll be honest, I am right there with you on Gabbert. I think he is hands down this draft class' most overrated player. There is a reason that no one was talking him up as a First Round prospect before he declared. That reason: he was a very average college football player. For the sake of discussion though, I'll bring forth a couple other names: Missouri Defensive End Aldon Smith and Florida State Quarterback Christian Ponder.
The Seminole signal-caller has generated First Round buzz this offseason, and I personally cannot wrap my head around it. Ponder has always been a player who looks the part, acts the part, and moves like an NFL Quarterback; however, he never blew me away during his college career. I question his arm strength and ability to make every throw at the next level. Durability has been an issue as well, as he has had several injuries to his throwing arm. His accuracy and poise are both good, but certainly not elite. Overall I have to say I like him as a prospect as a stop-gap starter, but not as the franchise passer some are making him out to be. It is likely he will come off the board in the first 40 picks or so, but I think that team will be getting a very ordinary starter that will not live up to his billing.
While I believe Aldon Smith is a First Round value, I think he is a prospect many are getting the wrong impression of. If you were simply to read about the guy, you would assume he is an uber-athletic edge rusher with the burst and hips to be a premiere pass-rusher in the NFL. I can dispute those sentiments directly. Smith lives on the inside move, where he uses his hands violently. He is simply put, ineffective, rushing the edge. The problem is: instead of firing off the snap into the backfield, he typically stands straight up out of his stance. His hips are too tight to allow him to leverage tackles and enter the backfield quickly off the end. He does not maneuver well in space, so the Linebacker projections are way off in my opinion. This idea of elite athleticism and versatility has some thinking Top 15 for him, but I would consider that a reach. I think Smith has value in the late first as a 4-3 end who will play two downs outside, then move inside a rush the passer from the 3-Tech position on third down.
3. Which of the top Wide Receivers do you prefer: Julio Jones or AJ Green? And, why?
RYAN: I am taking Julio Jones. While I certainly will not take anything away from Green, I think Jones is the more ready to contribute immediately at the next level. He has possessed an NFL body since high school, and now is an imposing 6'2 3/4 220, rocked up with muscle. His speed turned heads at the Combine when he unexpectedly blazed a sub 4.4 time in the 40. That explosiveness shows up on film too, as he is dynamic with the ball in his hands. He has proven to be a powerful runner after the catch and will not go down easily. I would not say he is overly elusive, but appears quick enough to develop into a very good route-runner. His toughness is an admirable quality, as he played through multiple injuries in college and shows some grit as a run-blocker. Julio is an exceptional red-zone and possession option; he will come down with contested balls in traffic and turn short passes into big gains. Due to his superior fit in the West Coast Offense, I imagine he will be the first receiver off the board. His style perfectly fits AFC North teams, Cincinnati (4) and Cleveland (6), near the top of the draft.
ROB: I have AJ Green as my top prospect in the draft, so it's no surprise that I prefer him to Jones. I see Green as the best Wide Receiver prospect since Calvin Johnson. AJ Green is nearly a perfect prospect as you can find for a number 1 WR. He's tall (6'3 5/8″) with fantastic hands, tremendous leaping ability, a great route runner, and dangerous in the open field. He isn't the biggest guy in the world and will probably add about 5 pounds to his frame before he maxes out. He's extremely fluid and showed the ability to sink his hips quickly to run great routes. Green made a mistake by selling one of his jerseys, which cost him a 4 game suspension, but he's hardly a character concern. I think he will have an immediate impact for whichever team drafts him. I think the thing that separates AJ Green from Julio Jones is his ability to create separation, even if it's just with his extremely long arms (34 3/8″).

Botox-laden swamp-drainer made $100K in two days by savvy investing and blocking legislation, but mostly blocking legislation
Retail investors would love to learn former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's investing secrets, which magically increased her net worth 62% during the worst of the financial crisis (spiking her portfolio's value from $22 million to $35.2 million in a year's time).
CBS News explains how the Botox-laden, swamp-draining, small business-stiffing Pelosi made her millions:
The former speaker and her husband have participated in at least eight IPOs, one of which was from Visa in 2008 – just as a troublesome piece of legislation that would have hurt credit card companies began making its way through the House. The Pelosis purchased 5,000 shares of Visa at the initial price of $44 dollars. Two days later it was trading at $64.
…this stock purchase was made as Visa was engaged in a full-court press to lobby Pelosi to stop legislation to curb credit-card swipe fees to vendors.
In 2007, Visa used an army of lobbyists to try to influence Pelosi, including one of her former advisers, Dean Aguillen… In addition to exploiting the revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms, Visa's political action committee made a $1,000 donation to Pelosi's re-election campaign… Two days after that donation was made, Pelosi met with Visa executives in her office. Aguillen also contributed $1,000 to Pelosi and another $1,000 to the campaign arm of the House Democratic caucusin the first half of 2008.
Dave Del Dotto could not be reached for comment at press time.

The name 'Enlightened Heart' was inspired by an article by Urgyen Thinley Dorje. 'Enlightened' referring to being informed, to impart knowledge, to give mental and spiritual understanding which is free from prejudice and narrow mindedness. Having mental and emotional faculties developed and widened and therefore not bound by ignorance.
The wheel is an ancient Indian symbol of creation, sovereignty, and protection which represents motion, and change. Buddhism adopted the wheel to symbolise the Budhha's teachings, the wheel being identified as 'dharmachakra' or wheel of law.
In Tibetan this means 'the wheel of transformation' or spiritual change, and can represent the overcoming of all obstacles and illusions. In the centre is a 'dorje' which represents indestructibility, and here the crossed dorje represents absolute stability. The wheel is ornamented with white silk scarves, ( a Tibetan symbol of offering ) and is one of the eight auspicious symbols of good fortune. In Chinese Buddhism the symbols are symbolic of the different organs of the Buddha's body and the wheel represents the heart.

KKTY NEWS Oct 10 Archive
(Wed 10/20/10) - Russia's ambassador says a bid by his government to enter the U.S. uranium industry is solely a business move. Sergey Kislyak made the comments Tuesday during a visit to Denver. He told The Denver Post that the bid was a "normal commercial operation - not something that is operating on any political guidance." ARMZ, a company owned by the Russian government, wants to buy a controlling share of Uranium One, a Canadian company that operates in the Rockies. It has three uranium production facilities west of Wright near Pumpkin Buttes on the Campbell/Johnson County line. Members of Wyoming's congressional delegation want to make sure the uranium isn't shipped to Russia or elsewhere. The company says it plans to sell the uranium to U.S. utilities.
(Tue 10/19/20) - Lawsuit settled... A Wal-Mart trucker has reached a settlement with Wyoming over an aborted plot by a Wyoming Highway Patrol trooper to kill him and stage an accident to extort money from the retailer. Richard J. Smidt of Arvada, Colo., says Wyoming paid him $10,000 to settle claims from his January 2009 abduction near Douglas. In a federal lawsuit filed in April, Smidt claimed that Wyoming officials didn't tell him that trooper Joe Ryle of Douglas had planned to kill him. Smidt attorney Robert McCue advised the court Friday that the case had been settled. Wyoming Attorney General Bruce Salzburg declined to comment. Terms were not disclosed. Ryle is serving a 15-year prison sentence.
(Mon 10/18/10) - No more turbines? Wyoming's largest wind energy developer says it has no further plans to build more wind farms in the state. Rocky Mountain Power officials say the company has met its current goals for wind-based generation. The utility owns nine wind farms in Wyoming, three here in Converse County, with a total statewide capacity of 626.6 megawatts. In addition, the company has long-term contracts to buy power from six other Wyoming wind farms owned by merchant developers. Rocky Mountain Power operates as PacifiCorp outside of Wyoming.
(Mon 10/18/10) - Another sucessful performance for the Bearcats Band. The DHS marching band competed at the WHSAA State Marching Band Festival at the Casper Events Center Saturday afternoon, and for the 7th year in a row, the band brought home a superior rating, the top rating available. Fourteen bands from across the state performed at the festival and were judged in seven different categories including drum major, music executuion and music effect. The Bearcats Marching Band is under the direction of Ron Wagner.
(Tue 10/5/10) - Survey sez... A recent survey says a strong majority of Wyoming residents support uranium mining. And the survey says the support for the in-situ method of extracting uranium is strongest among those who say they have some knowledge of how it works. The survey was conducted by the Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center at the University of Wyoming. The survey contacted 935 people last February by telephone. The survey says Wyoming residents put job creation and tax revenue above environmental and health concerns when it comes to mineral extraction in general. Wyoming is the nation's leading uranium producer, with all production coming out of Converse County, and in-situ mining is the preferred process used to extract it. In-situ involves dissolving minerals underground and pumping uranium-bearing water to the surface.
(Tue 10/5/10) - Converse County's still a relative bargain. The state's Economic Analysis Division's just released its cost of living index for the second quarter of 2010, and out of Wyoming's 24 counties, Converse Couty was ranked the 15th on the list. With a median of 100, Converse County scored a 95. The most expensive counties... Teton, with a score of 133, followed by Sublette, Campbell, Sheridan and Sweetwater Counties. Natrona County ranked 8th in the state... Platte County, with a score of 85, was the least expensive place to live in Wyoming... Niobrara County was next to last on the list, and that's a good place to be.
The same report shows average home rental costs in Converse County to be pretty steady. The state report said the aveage cost to rent a 2-bedroom, unfurnished apartment in Converse County was $603 a month, down from $622 second quarter of last year. Cost to rent a 2 or 3 bedroom unfurnished home was listed at $693 a month, up from $673 the year before. The same house averaged $412 a month in Big Horn County, $1009 a month in Natrona County, $1182 in Campbell County and $1675 in Teton County.
(Mon 10/4/10) - All hands on deck for another big grass fire north of Douglas. Firefighters were called out at 12:15 Monday afternoon to a fire that started at mile marker 14 on Highway 93... that's north of Ft Fetterman, about halfway between the fort an the Ross Road/Top Of The World cutoff... Converse County Sheriff Clint Becker... audio here
Sheriff Becker said they dont have any idea of the number of acres involved, but will do a flyover sometime tomorrow or Wednesday to measure how much has burned. Becker said he thought landowners involded would include the Smith Sheep Company, Boner, Scotts, and others... audio here
It's about 14 miles from Highway 93 east to Highway 59, so that gives you an idea of the size of the fire. The Sheriff said that they had no reports of structural damage, but a couple of Douglas Volunteer Fire Department Fast Attack trucks were damaged by the fire. No serious injuries reported, and no cause has yet been determined.
(Fri 10/1/10) - Today's the opening day of hunting season for many areas around Douglas, and it's also the opening day of Douglas's annual Helluva Hunt. For the 26th year, disabled hunters from all around the nation come to Douglas to participate. Hunters arrived yesterday, met their guides, sighted in their rifles, enjoyed a trap shoot and an opening banquet. Breakfast was this morning at 5am at the fairgrounds, then hunters and their guides headed out for the field this morning at 6:30. A field luncheon today at midday, provided by the WINE-O's, and the annual Helluva Hunt dinner and benefit auction is tonight at the Douglas Moose Lodge. If hunters don't fill their tags today, they'll get another chance tomorrow, with lunch provided by Woody's Tip-Top Service. The Awards Banquet is tomorrow night at 7 at the American Legion. Area ranchers contribute 60 thousand acres of land for the hunters to use, and the Wyoming Game and Fish issues special permits to allow hunters to shoot from their vehicles if need be. Meals and lodging for the Helluva Hunt hunters are free of charge.
(Fri 10/1/10) - A task force is recommending that Wyoming no longer allow private companies to seize land for small power lines for wind projects. The Wind Energy Task Force voted 5-4 Thursday in Casper to deny the power of eminent domain to private companies that want to string power lines from wind turbines to main transmission lines. At the same time, the panel recommends that regulated public utilities retain the power of eminent domain. Wyoming has imposed a moratorium on the use of eminent domain for collector lines from wind farms because they could become numerous if wind energy development booms as predicted. The task force's recommendations go the Legislature, which would have to approve any change in state eminent domain law.

(Fri 10/15/10) - Another battle won... for the first time this season, Douglas trailed at halftime, but came back to beat Riverton 27-9. In Homecoming football action tonight, Riverton got on the scoreboard first with their only touchdown of the night when quarterback Xavier Webb scored in the first quarter. A field goal gave the Wolverines a 9-0 lead, but the Bearcats answered when Dylan Klava ran one in with about 30 seconds left before halftime. Point after was no good, and Douglas trailed 9-6 as they went to the locker rooms. The Bearcats came back out with a better handle on the game, shutting down a fading Riverton offense in the second half and taking back control of the game. Klava made three more short yardage trips to the endzone, one from 9 yards, one from 6 yards, and one from 4 yards, to stretch the Cats out to the 27-9 win. Douglas is now 7-0 on the season, and will host the Torrington Trailblazers on Senior Night on Friday, October 22nd.
In other 3A action tonight, Buffalo blasted Torrington 60-10 and Wheatland shut out Rawlins 50-0.

The two teams were scoreless at the end of the first quarter, and for the first time this season, Douglas had to play catch-up when Wheatland quarterback Ward Anderson connected with Bunker on a 10-yard pass play for a touchdown. The Cats bounced back on a 25-yard run to the endzone by Baylor Sieg... the 2-point conversion was good, and Douglas led it 8-7 at halftime. Douglas running back Dylan Klava ran for over 100 yards in the third quarter, running in scores from 49 yards out and 9 yard out.

4/23/13 Miley / Liam Split
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
MILEY CYRUS was spotted without her engagement ring again. And while sources say she and LIAM HEMSWORTH are still together, SNOOP LION suggested they're not. He said, quote, "I can't speak for her, ya know what I'm saying, but I know that she has a relationship that no longer exists."
A "source" says AMANDA BYNES had her membership at Planet Fitness in New York City revoked after they caught her smoking pot in the women's locker room. And it supposedly happened on Saturday, which was the pot holiday 4/20. Amanda denies it, of course. She says, quote, "I don't smoke in the bathroom. I also don't smoke pot, I smoke tobacco!"
TARA REID reportedly got kicked out of the All Saints store in L.A. last week for throwing a tantrum after they refused to give her a discount. A source says, quote, "She was screaming. She had to be escorted out by security. She seemed drunk." Tara's rep says there was just a misunderstanding about the discount, because Tara always gets one at All Saints in the U.K. and Paris.
In light of her arrest last week, REESE WITHERSPOON has canceled her upcoming talk show appearances. She was supposed to do "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" tonight. Also, she was scheduled to tape an interview yesterday with "Good Morning America" that was going to air tomorrow. Those are no longer happening. She also pulled out of yesterday's press junket for her new movie, "Mud".

I've inherited a really poorly designed PHP spaghetti code project. It's been gaining a good bit of traffic recently and is starting to have performance issues on top of the poor monolithic code base. Its maxing out performance on a chunky 16GB dedicated machine when it really shouldn't be.
I'm planning on doing some performance tweaks right off the bat to help the performance issue, but this still won't really help the horrible code base. The team is small but expecting to grow very soon.
I've read Joel's article on the troubles of doing a complete rewrite and see the concerns. But how bad does the code base have to be before you consider a rewrite?
There is PHP handling logic interjected into what one would usually consider a "view". Even worse, in some places SQL statements are in these same files! The only real separation of presentation and logic are a few PHP scripts that serve as function libraries. These scripts do most of the ORM stuff... if you can even call it that. Trying to slowly refractor this seems like a nightmare.
Open to your thoughts and opinions... however not interested in hearing, "Run away, Run away!".

Syrian blogger Razan Ghazzawi speaks during a conference on youth journalism by German broadcaster Deutsche Welle in Cairo May 2011. (REUTERS/Handout)
BEIRUT: Syrian authorities have released a U.S.-born blogger and press freedom campaigner who was arrested at the border while on her way to attend a conference in Jordan.
Razan Ghazzawi was detained Dec. 4 and charged last week with fomenting sectarian strife and spreading false information through a secret organization - charges punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
The Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression, where she worked, said in a statement Monday that Ghazzawi was freed Sunday night on bail.
It said that Ghazzawi would still stand trial at a later, unspecified date.
Ghazzawi is among dozens of Syrian bloggers and activists who have been arrested in during the nine-month uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Comparison of Garmin Topo 24K vs 100K for trail riding.

Joined: Oct 2004

The final explanation straight from the horses mouth:
First off, thank you for the inquiry regarding the differences between our Topo products. I looked into this problem and believe I found most of the answers to your questions. This issue arises from the fact that the older Topo 100K maps were treated as a "dumping ground" for all trails regardless of their scale, quality and accuracy.
When we started making the 24K maps we decided to limit the product to higher quality datasets and included Navteq data so the product would be routable
. In concern of map size, we felt that having a routable product was more of a service to our customers than adding, in some places, pretty shoddy trail information. You are not the first person to bring up a concern regarding the removal of some of our trails and it is currently being looked into by our outdoor team. I can't guarantee that they will decide to comb through the trail data and add the good material to the maps, but it is definitely being discussed. Feel free to pass along any other questions you may have and I apologize if this issue has caused you any inconvenience.
Thank You,

Tunis — The ruling coalition will discuss, at its next meeting, the suggestions of Caretaker President Moncef Marzouki about a reshuffle of the cabinet aimed to reduce it, affirmed on Tuesday Imed Daimi, principal private secretary of the President.
President Marzouki had indeed called for "a mini-cabinet of experts" in his address to the nation last Friday.
Answering journalists' questions after a conference debate held by the Presidency on illegal enrichment in Tunisia, Mr. Daïmi reckoned that "the declarations about a possible withdrawal of confidence from Mr. Marzouki represent an impulsive and thoughtless reaction at political and media levels ".
The Presidency of the Republic believes that if the country's interest required that Mr. Marzouki should leave, he will resign and not wait to be dismissed by any party, he added.
The address of the President, Mr. Daïmi also declared, has "fulfilled its objectives since it managed to ease tensions in the regions," stressing that dialogue within the political scene and the ruling troïka "is more peaceful and serious ".

Senate inquiry urges Australians to bypass online geo-blocks that can double prices for IT product
A Federal Government inquiry has recommended that businesses find ways to lawfully evade technology that allows IT companies to charge up to twice as much for their products in Australia.
The Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications found Australian businesses were paying up to 50 per cent more for IT products, compared to their international competitors.
Companies such as Microsoft and Apple use "geo-blocking" to stop Australian consumers from buying their products online in other countries.
The committee's chairman, Nick Champion, said geo-blocking was unfair when used to segregate global markets in order to make bigger profits.
He said the report's recommendations included educating Australian businesses on how to bypass geo-blocks.
"What we want to do is make sure that consumers are aware of the extent to which geo-blocking applies to them and the extent to which they can lawfully evade them," he said.
"That seems to be an area where I think, what is the consumer's right to shop around, in effect."
In March, consumer advocacy group Choice called on Australians to circumvent technology allowing companies to charge higher prices for their products in some markets.
Three giant IT companies - Microsoft, Apple and Adobe - gave evidence to the committee in March as to why their goods were more expensive in Australia than other markets.
Choice spokesman Matt Levey said the consumer group had published guidelines to help consumers circumvent geo-blocking.
"There's one particular creative suite product from Adobe which currently has a $1,200 price difference between the US price and the Australian price," he said at the time.
"Similarly with Microsoft, there was one infamous product where you could actually pay someone... to fly to the US and back twice, buy the product when they're there, and still come out ahead."
Among the reasons given by the companies to explain price differences were that they maintained separate websites and servers for Australian customers, and higher costs charged by the entertainment industry for content destined for the Australian market.
Freight charges, local sales taxes, levies, import duties, channel economics, competition and local laws regarding advertised prices were also mentioned by company managers who gave evidence to the inquiry.
However, Mr Levey said these factors could not justify what he described as price gouging.
"There were quite frankly some bizarre statements from Adobe relating to the 'bespoke and personalised nature' of their website," he said.
"You only had to look at social media very quickly to understand there were many creatives out there who were finding it quite an impersonal experience to be charged $1,200 more.
"Its attempts to try and sustain an outdated business model, which ... [carves] the world up into different regions, [charges] people in Australia way more than people in the US even though [consumers are] just a few mouse clicks away from actually identifying the price gouge."

If it turns out that there is a God, I don't think that he's evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he's an underachiever. – Woody Allen
Woody Allen always says the funniest quotes. A native of New York City, his neurotic demeanor and simple jokes resonate with people everywhere. He got his start as a full time comedy writer by the age of 19, he was writing scripts for such big shows as the Tonight Show and The Ed Sulivan Show. He then became a standup comedian in Greenwich Village in the 60's before making it big in the movie industry in the late 60's and early 70s. He has had an illustrious career as a scriptwriter, director and actor throughout the 60's and 70's up until present, still making highly acclaimed movies such as Vicky Christina Barcelona, Match Point and Midnight in Paris. Although his personal life is a tad on the unconventional side, he is widely respected and popular amongst comedy loving people everywhere.
This particular funny god quote is a gem as it is pokes fun at not only God, but also about humanity. If God created humans, and we are clearly not perfect (far from it), then that would make God an underachiever – which is funny in itself. You never think about something so infinitely powerful being able to create something as funnily imperfect as a human being. Watch youtube for 5 minutes, and then think about God in all of his wisdom, giving life to all of those people. It is super funny right? It is like God was working away and was then like, I'm tired, I'm just going to skip some corners here and completed human beings with so many flaws and hilarious faults.
This is of course a silly way of thinking, which makes fun of the Christian rhetoric that God made man in his image. Again, watch youtube for 5 minutes and then tell me that is not the funniest thing you have ever seen. Woody Allen is a very funny man, who always kind of makes you think with his quotes.

Success Transformer, through its subsidiaries, manufactures and markets electrical and industrial lighting products.The company's products include high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting luminaries, low voltage transformer, automatic voltage stabilizers, battery charger and tester.
It also offers energy saving lumens regulator, phase monitoring relay, reactor and running light controllers.The company primarily operates in Malaysia, where it is headquartered in Sungai Buloh.
The company's key products include the following:
High-intensity discharge (HID) lighting luminaries
Low voltage transformer
Automatic voltage stabilizers
Battery charger and tester
Energy saving lumens regulator
Phase monitoring relay
Running light controller
Catalyst #1: Success Transformer Corp Bhd is proposing to list its wholly-owned subsidiary, Seremban Engineering Bhd, on the main market of Bursa Malaysia. In a filing on behalf of the company, RHB Investment Bank Bhd said Success Transformer's board had approved the proposed flotation comprising several proposals to facilitate the listing exercise. Can reasonably expect some free shares since its a 100% company that is being listed.
Success Transformer Corporation Bhd's (STC) subsidiary, Seremban Engineering Bhd (SEB), has entered into a cooperation agreement with Affcom Resources Sdn Bhd towards forming a joint venture (JV) company in the oil and gas (O&G) industry. STC said the objective was to incorporate a JV company to undertake the design and fabrication of equipment, refinery, lube oil plant and engineering and any other related activities.
Malaysia-incorporated Affcom is an affiliate to an independent integrated oil company and its activities cover trading, marketing, refining, and O&G fabrication in Malaysia and abroad.
SEB is mainly involved in the manufacturing and fabrication of process equipment such as unfired pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, silos and other machinery or parts, including mechanical works, maintenance and shutdown works. STC said Affcom would provide the expertise in management, consultancy, market information, and any other contribution in the best interest of the mutual business cooperation.Catalyst #2: Success Transformer Corp Bhd (STC) says its engineering unit currently has some RM30mil worth of projects in hand and is bidding for new jobs worth about RM40mil. Palm oil and waste management industries remain Seremban Engineering Sdn Bhd's (SESB) main contributors. SESB has started construction work on its seventh factory by end-September. The new factory will focus on the fabrication of process equipment for the food and pharmaceutical industries. SESB's factory expansions are on track with the 5th factory being operational and the 6th expected to be operational on 2H FY09. On top of that, Seremban Engineering is in the process of setting up another factory to specifically serve the food industry.Seremban's current workflow consists of pressure vessels for palm oil refineries. Key customer, a Singapore based design house is farming substantial business to SESB given the latter's strong execution capabilities. Visibility is seemingly positive with the key customer guiding for constant workflow till the end of the year. With Plant 5 now fully onstream, capacity is further enhanced by 20%.
Catalyst #3: Earnings visibility and sustainability. The company recorded revenues of RM185 million in the fiscal year ended December 2008. Its net profit was RM23.6 million in fiscal 2008. 1H09 revenue was RM97.4m, while RM12.9m was its net profit. Annualise that, the company is making at least 22 sen a share.
Catalyst #4: Operating margins 18%. For a company that has been making EPS in the 15-28 sen region for the past 3 years (on an uptrend), expanding its facility, and operating at that margins, to trade at low single digit PERs is unbelievable. Obviously many investors have not wised up to this company. Taking the free IPO shares in Seremban Engineering, this should be worth RM1.60 easy.NOTE: The above opinion is not an invitation to buy or sell.

gracie fighter one is decent. the UG used to have an active gi and no-gi subforum but not so much anymore...
Well, this weekend my 11 year old will be competing in his 2nd NAGA event. He has improved DRASTICALLY since the last one so I'm hoping he will continue that streak. This will be his last tournament as novice with no subs. He trains 3 days a week and usually gets in on my adult classes 2 more days per week. And we roll at home when time permits, so I really think he is going to be a beast before long. Other than the strength difference, he does well against the beginner guys in my class.
He brought home silver in no gi and gold in gi. The kids in his division this time were on average 7-8lbs heavier. We didn't worry about his weight for this one (my fault) and he weighed in at the bottom of the heavier class. He has only competed in 2 tournaments and has won both in gi.
Now we get bumped to the submission division. It should get interesting now. He has great offense but his defense needs a little tightening. We probably won't compete again until November though, so plenty of time to work on that.
Awesome! Tell him that an angry bearded red headed man from Missouri said congrats. Good way to improve the sub defense is to get tapped a lot! What does he get caught in most?

one of my favorite techniques for escaping the triangle is this one :
and for proof that it works, since Submissions101 has a ...weird rep:
ADCC 2005- Xande Ribeiro vs Roger Gracie...hehe
I, personally, would use my free leg to step over and pry anyways.
That is wonderful that you got your son in at such an early age. I started my son at 4 1/2 and he loves it to, at 5 1/2 we entered him in the NAGA US Nationals in Atlanta, He ended up winning his division (He faced the son of NAGA president Kipp Koller in the final match). He is now 7 and unfortunately we have been away from the gym, but we hope to start back during some breaks.
You mentioned that a teammate of his won the TN state championships. What city are you in? We are in Nashville and train at Ed Clay's Nashville Mixed Martial Arts.

Loving Me Sadly – Depression (Grief Stage 4)
"As tough as it is, depression can be dealt with in a paradoxical way. See it as a visitor, perhaps an unwelcome one, but one who is visiting whether you like it or not. Make a place for your guest. Invite your depression to pull up a chair with you in front of the fire, and sit with it, without looking for a way to escape." -Elizabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kessler from On Grief and Grieving
The fourth stage of grief is depression. It is important to note that depression as a response to grief is somewhat different than clinical depression or major depressive disorder that I discussed in my Confessions of a Major Depressive series. The depression within the grieving process can simply be thought of as…sadness.
Okay, it's not simple. The not so simple part of it is that in this stage, we actually sit with being sad, without trying to escape it or weasel out of it. Consider this story that I found in Tara Brach's Radical Acceptance. I read it at a workshop I did about grief recently, it's one of my favorites:
In a small midwestern town, an elderly couple lived next door to a family with a four-year-old son. When the old woman died, her grieving husband was left totally on his own. Several days after her death, the little boy went to visit the man, and they spent hours together silently—the boy sitting on the old man's lap. Each year the town gave an award for the "kindest act," and the following spring the elderly gentleman nominated the boy to be the recipient. Surprised, his mother asked him, "What was it you talked about that day when you went over there?" He responded, "I didn't say anything, Mommy. I just helped him to cry."
The depression stage of grief is where we can be as sad as we want, cry as much as we want. Feelings that we have shut out have returned. It's time for us to deal with them now.
If I had to say which grief stage I spend most of my time in about being single, it's right here in depression. In my last post on bargaining, I asked the question, should I have to sacrifice my authenticity to receive a mate in return? When my answer is no, when I realize that it is too exhausting for me to be anything other than the woman that I am, but through all of that, I am still without an intimate partner…well then that leads me to depression.
The type of depression I feel about being single is a small component of my overall battle with clinical depression. These are the single girl blues. (Sounds like another title of a book I could write, haha). So basically now, I have moved past the denial about being single at this point of my life. But I still get pretty pissed about it (anger). And after my attempt at bargaining my way into a changed relationship status (by changing who I am) didn't work, I am left with an overwhelming sadness because my circumstances haven't changed.
I try to practice gratitude during this time, but the focus in this depression stage is warped. This is when I focus on everything I don't have.
Couples holding hands and sharing affection…
Sweet kisses in the park…
A gentle, unexpected touch…
Sharing intimate secrets…
Sharing dreams and goals…
Celebrating big success and small accomplishments together…
Past failures in love and past loves take up a lot of space in my mind during this time. In my sadness, I try to figure out what went wrong. The depression I feel about being single was best described in an un-published essay I wrote called Happy Love Addicted Single Birthday. It pretty much sums it all up.
I will cry during this time, sometimes in strange, inappropriate places and odd times (like on my way home from work on the bus). But tears are okay. I believe that it is okay for me to cry because I have lost one of the most difficult things to lose. A dream. There is something to be sad about, no matter what other people may say.
It makes me sad when I think about how impossible the dating/relationship/singleness situation is in reality…or in my own limited human thinking. But sitting with these sad feelings are a necessary pathway to self-love and ultimate self-acceptance.

I am depressed in my singleness. The stages of grief keep coming and going for us, because we keep getting our hopes up and then grieving our losses all over again.
I do not choose to be single. I am single, and I hate it. People dismissing the grief and pain of singleness just makes it that much more to grieve, because we must grieve alone, in hiding.

About Turquoise Mountain
Turquoise Mountain was established in 2006, under the patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales and the President of Afghanistan, to revive traditional Afghan arts, crafts and architecture. The organization founded an Institute of Traditional Afghan Arts and Architecture with four craft schools – calligraphy and miniature painting, woodwork, jewelry, and ceramics – and has undertaken a major urban regeneration project in Murad Khane, the center of the old city of Kabul. In a conflict-ridden society with a debilitated economy, Turquoise Mountain provides education and employment for over 400 students, teachers, engineers, architects, and construction workers. The organization also ensures the livelihoods of its students by connecting their work to international markets.
The Afghan arts and crafts industry, once a source of great pride and a respected way of earning a living, has been severely endangered by decades of conflict and displacement. Skills, once handed down through families, have been lost, materials are scarce and of poor quality, and artisans lack access to local or international markets. Turquoise Mountain is training a new generation of artisans, and reviving all but forgotten craft techniques and designs.
In 2007, Turquoise Mountain Arts was established and has since been promoting the production and distribution of hand-made Afghan craft and design worldwide including traditional Afghan woodwork, ceramics, calligraphy, jewelry, and textiles. Over this period, nearly 1.5 million dollars worth of traditional Afghan crafts have been sold, helping to revive and maintain Afghanistan's traditional arts and crafts industry and provide a sense of pride, vocation and income for hundreds of families. Any income made goes directly back into supporting the artisans and students of Turquoise Mountain Arts and the Institute for Afghan Arts & Architecture.
