We stayed at Foxes Inn two nights and it couldn't have been lovelier! The room was beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Loved all the little fox details throughout the property. The gardens were very well kept and inviting. I enjoyed two very relaxing baths in the giant claw foot tub as well! We had breakfast in our room which we enjoyed tremendously, they even cooked a special meal for me the 2nd day due to a medical test I was having the following day. Very accommodating and friendly service! Would definitely highly recommend a stay here. One of the best B&B's I've stayed at.

This is one place that when I go there it is always one of the greatest times ever. The people, the service and the rooms are always so wonderful that it just becomes a great get away and I always look forward to returning again when I can. The town and the area are great and quiet, but the Fox's Inn is one very special place in my mind. Thank you so much for another great time away from the rat race. Your team does a great job and they are very personal and very nice. Thanks again, Bill

For some reason, I couldn't get the fifth circle to work. But it was outstanding! Service could not be better. Warm friendly people all. Perfectly cooked "over easy" eggs! Spotless rooms. I cannot think of ONE thing that would need to be improved. Pamela and John Wagner Carmel by the Sea, CA

My husband and I have been staying at the Foxes Inn for several years and have been through a few different ownerships. We love staying here and just adore Wendy and Rennie and the fabulous breakfast they serve and the great conversations we have with them. The Inn is so charming and we have stayed in almost all of the rooms and also enjoy the location. We can walk everywhere in town. Unfortunately under the new ownership we have noticed that the upkeep of the rooms are not as before but it doesn't lessen our wonderful stay. (This does not reflect on Wendy and her team). The grounds are as beautiful as ever! We look forward to our next visit.

We called at the Foxes Inn on the off chance they might have a vacancy for 2 nights as we had left our previous accommodation early. We were overwhelmed with the helpfulness of the staff who bent over backwards to help us. Their support and advice was invaluable as were the breakfasts, individually prepared and delivered to our room. After the previous disappointment we had a wonderful stay thanks to all of the staff and would strongly recommend the inn.

Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks Plan Meetings on 2014 Hunts
The proposed Montana hunting seasons and regulations will be discussed at public meetings in January.
The proposed Montana hunting seasons and regulations will be discussed at public meetings in January.
Now that the general big game rifle hunting season is over, officials with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks are preparing for the wolf trapping season, which begins December 15.
As hunters head into the hills on the first weekend of the general hunting season, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials are reminding them that safety and courtesy are the keys to any successful hunt.
When Missoula and western Montana residents call Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks to report a mountain lion sighting, Bob Wiesner and Spinner hit the trail to find them.
UPDATE 1:00 p.m. Monday, October 14
Missoula School District One officials notified parents in the Cold Springs School area that someone in the area had spotted three mountain lions in the Arcadia Street area, not far from the school. Director of Technology and Communications Hatton Littman said Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks was notified.
A school parent in the South Hills neighborhood notified school officials that they had spotted a bear on Monday, October 7, so the district sent out a message to parents about the sighting.
With general rifle hunting season due to start on October 26, even officials at Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks are having problems getting information about federal public lands, due to the partial government shutdown.
You can make comments on the draft of an updated conservation and management plan for grizzly bears in southwestern Montana until September 30.
The Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks officials extended the comments from September 16 in response from the public for more time to study the plan, which was developed over the last year
September marks the beginning of the long-awaited hunting seasons in Montana. In fact, several seasons are already underway.
The Bitterroot River fishing restrictions have been lifted by the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks.
The Bitterroot and the Clark Fork Rivers had both been restricted to fishing only in the mornings for over a month

Take a chance....
I might just be exactly who you're looking for....there's only one way to find out! About me: Are you looking for someone "normal" who isn't into drama or playing games? Then keep reading! I'm a mid-western transplant who has a brain and knows how to use it (mostly for good, not evil ;-) ) I sometimes come off as the shy or quiet type at first, but I warm up pretty quickly. I enjoy a variety of activities and can usually have fun in most situations; it's often more about the person or people I'm with rather than the where or the what. I'm game for trying new things (in fact, I recently tried ziplining and paintball) and enjoy time at home (watching movies) as well as going out (beach, festivals, road trips, nature). I like to travel, but haven't done as much of it lately as I would like. It's so much more fun with a "partner in crime", isn't it? About you: Do you consider yourself one of the good ones? Then keep reading! I'm looking for someone intelligent, sincere, honest, and affectionate who can make me laugh. "Geeky" types are OK, too. Being able to cook, being handy around the house, with computers and/or with cars is a plus, but certainly not a requirement (they do have people who get paid for that). I've learned to handle quite a few things on my own, but sometimes it's nice to have someone else to take care of certain things like squashing giant bugs and dealing with irrational computers. Ultimately, I would like to find someone easy to talk to and who I connect with on different levels. How about a last first date? I don't want to waste your time or mine, so.....if you are married, in a relationship, just interested in sex, or don't have the time necessary to develop a relationship, then I'm probably not the one for you. Good luck in your search!

I enjoy college and professional football, movies, going out to eat, the beach, traveling, playing cards/games with friends, dancing (although I don't claim to be good at it),and laughing. I'm also up for trying new things.

Anchorman Movie Quotes
"Anchorman" movie quotes are some of the funniest and most used Will Ferrell movie quotes of all time. Ferrell portrays the title character, Channel 4 news anchor Ron Burgundy in the hilarious 2004 film and along with his news team gives us dozens of zingers, one-liners and pretty much anything they post on the teleprompter.
Funny quotes from "Anchorman: The Legend of Run Burgundy" are too many to count but wouldn't be the same without the cast of characters from the film, written by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, and produced by Judd Apatow. News team 4 members Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) provide numerous hilarious scenes, especially after new news anchorwoman Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) is introduced.
Of course the "Anchorman" quotes list would not be complete without the appearance of cameos from other actors familiar to the "Frat Pack" generation of films. Everyone from Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson and Seth Rogen make brief appearances in the film and add to the hilarity of it all.
Though "Anchorman" is somewhat regarded as love it or hate it kind of movie, similar to the 2001 movie "Zoolander," the following has grown to somewhat of a cult status in recent years. Also like "Zoolander," the film has a second chance to attract fans as a sequel to "Anchorman" was announced in March 2012. Until then, you stay classy, Planet Earth.
- Tip: Navigate with your { left and right } arrow keys1
60% of the Time, It Works Every Time«»+ 6- 2Brian Fantana: "I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up."
Ron Burgundy: "Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight."
Brian Fantana: "No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good."
Ron Burgundy: "It's quite pungent."
Brian Fantana: "Oh yeah."
Ron Burgundy: "It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way."
Brian Fantana: "Yep."
Ron Burgundy: "Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline."
Brian Fantana: "They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time."
Ron Burgundy: "That doesn't make sense."
Brian Fantana: "Well... Let's go see if we can make this little kitty purr."
Veronica Corningstone: "My God, what is that smell? Oh."
Brian Fantana: "That's the smell of desire my lady."
Veronica Corningstone: "God no, it smells like, like a used diaper... filled with... Indian food. Oh, excuse me."
Brian Fantana: "You know, desire smells like that to some people."
News Station Employee: "What is that? Smells like a turd covered in burnt hair."
News Station Employee: "Smells like Bigfoot's dick!"
Brian Fantana: "Woah, what's that smell?"
Hot in pursuit of the new girl, Brian Fantana pulls out a very special cologne from his hidden wall of scents. Despite containing bits of real panther, the stench of Sex Panther does not seduce Veronica Corningstone, rather reminds her of a used diaper filled with Indian food, not desire.l< << PREV 1 of 13 NEXT >>

Hot New Restaurant: Cafe Gratitude Goes Mexican
The folks behind the echt-hippie hang (where baked gluten-free pasta is called I Am Fulfilled) head south of the border with a lively vegan vortex in West Hollywood.
Quick Pitch: Located just across Melrose Avenue from West Hollywood industry spot Craig's, Gracias Madre is the latest offshoot from Cafe Gratitude founders Matthew Engelhart and wife Terces, whose locations in Hancock Park and Venice have become A-list vegan havens. (They launched the original Gracias Madre in San Francisco's Mission District with partner Chandra Gilbert in 2009.)
STORY: Coachella, The Best New Restaurants in the Desert
The Mexican-minded mecca, whose investors include Jason Mraz and Woody Harrelson, serves up all-organic, seasonal ingredients (some of which originate from the Engelharts' Be Love Farm near Vacaville, Calif.) in a lively modern room marked by patterned tile, vaulted wood ceilings and wrought iron. Sweet potato and caramelized-onion flautas are popular, as are the small-batch tequila cocktails -- perhaps best enjoyed on the rustic outdoor terrace. They're still working out a few kinks, but that hasn't bridled the crowds.
Insider's Dish: The staff sang happy birthday to Ellen DeGeneres when she was in.
Must-Order Item: The Mocha Cheesecake -- an airy, nondairy slice topped with chocolate cinnamon sauce.
Industry Neighbor: Director Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions is around the corner on La Peer Dr.
8905 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, 323.978.2170, graciasmadreweho.com

In medicine, it seems like we're always looking for a silver bullet — the treatment to end all treatments, the thing that will provide definitive care for patients struggling with infections, diseases and other health problems. While real silver bullets in medicine don't exist, because no treatment can be 100% reliable, researchers have found something pretty close, and it's literally made out of silver. It's also quite ancient, a treatment with a history dating back to Ancient Greece and Rome.
Bacterial infections are notoriously tough to treat, because there are so many bacterial species and they all work in different ways in the body. That goes double for so-called Gram-negative bacteria, which have a doubled cell membrane, making it hard for antibiotic medications to penetrate them and do their work. Scientists have been developing and experimenting with an array of antibiotic medications for decades, and they're constantly forced to keep researching because bacteria keep evolving to foil their efforts.
Which is why researchers got curious about silver, a metal historically used in the treatment of bacterial infections. While they were aware that the metal seemed to have some antimicrobial effects, they wanted to learn more about how it worked, and about the potential limitations — the problem with silver is that if patients receive too high a dose, they can start experiencing complications, including a condition that permanently discolors their skin. What they found is that while silver alone may not be enough to kill off an infection, when silver and antibiotics are teamed up, they can sometimes lick a tough infection.
Here's how it works: antibiotics function by producing toxins that lead to cell death, but in order to be effective, they have to be able to penetrate the cell first. Silver bonds to sulfur, an important component of proteins, and makes it impossible for those proteins to fold correctly, so they can't do what they're supposed to do, like, say, creating a cell membrane. Consequently, the silver creates openings for the antibiotics to get inside and start interfering with the function of bacterial cells.
It does more than that, though. It interferes with the way bacteria use iron, a critical metal, and it also forces bacterial cells to start producing reactive oxygen species, which damage the cell. Imagine firing a bullet inside a crowded room: that's what silver does to bacteria, ricocheting around to create chaos. The fact that it makes cells more susceptible to antibiotics allows doctors to use less, which reduces the risk of side effects for the patients. It also reduces antibiotic resistance, making formerly resistant infections vulnerable to treatment again.
Thanks to the one-two punch, the patient doesn't need to take high doses of silver or antibiotics, and thus runs a much lower risk of side effects. And her infection is more likely to respond quickly, with the antibiotics capable of killing tens to thousands more bacteria than they would on their own.
This approach to treatment still needs some more research before it can be rolled out on a large scale, to make sure it's safe and effective, but this is a good start in an often frustrating area of research. As the world's population grows and antibiotic use increases, more and more antibiotic-resistant infections are arising, and they're spreading like wildfire through hospitals and other health care facilities. The more tools we have in our arsenal, the better, especially for immunocompromised patients who aren't able to fight such infections effectively on their own, and thus are at a higher risk of death and severe complications.

Thank you :-)
Let me know when it comes out in pill form...
My sister has been drinking colloidal silver (1 tbs to 1 lt of water) as her regular water for a few weeks now. Last week she got a cold and it lasted much less than regular.
Do you recommend she gargle it straight?
sounds promising if other cells aren't similarly affected
Fungal infection? E.g., toenails? Coconut Oil / Butter. More affordable than dairy butter. Pure and natural. Also helps your brain and Alzheimer's. For a safer, affordable chest rub (including for babies), mix with few drops lavender and eucalyptus oils. For facial acne, mix with few drops organic Tea Tree Oil. In a hot climate? - store in the 'fridge to keep it solid. See YouTube.
A good friend suggested I use colloidal silver as a gargle for sore throat and ever since then it's the only thing I need! Amazing stuff, within a day the throat is back to normal. I also used it as a spray on toenails with fungus - I had tried for years to get rid of the fungus with expensive and nasty lotions - but only after a couple of months of colloidal silver I have normal toe nails. Others I have told about this treatment confirm it has worked for them.
I agree with Leah S., that Colloidal Silver does not need their manufactured toxin (ANTI-biotic). This research would be funded by the mega billion dollar, CORRUPTED pharma Industry. Their business is to keep people alive but sick, so they hold their place as Nbr 2 after BigOil. This is how they easily bribe politicians to keep people ignorant and also restrict our access to the safer, affordable, natural remedies - which they tried to patent but were denied.
See article: "The Borax Conspiracy: how the arthritis cure has been stopped", by Walter Last.
Also, the website of Dr Carolyn Dean MD ND.
Interesting, but you need to fix the title. As a horror fan I have to point out that vampires can take silver just fine, it's werewolves who have a problem with it.
Thanks Ms. Smith for the exceptionally informative article!

So, about the product ... it is a decent-sized block of cake, enclosed in a relatively heavy MRE pouch with most of the air vacuumed out and an oxygen absorber. The production date is prominently stamped on the back, like "3251" (i.e., the 251st day of 2013. The packaging can take a fair amount of abuse without reducing the cake to a crumbly mess. I haphazardly toss the MREs in a 4 gallon bucket, but upon opening the pack, there are only a few crumbs at the bottom.
The cake is not as moist or fluffy as what you can buy fresh from a coffee shop (which is no surprise, since it is designed for compact storage and a long shelf life), but it is by no means dry or chalky. To the contrary, it has a zesty lemon taste that is more intense towards the outer layer, and poppy seeds uniformly distributed throughout the cake. The lemon poppyseed cakes are tasty enough that I have to hide them from myself to avoid raiding the stash.

ESPN's Olney sees Dodgers vs. Angels for Greinke's services
ESPN's Buster Olney said that Angels pitcher Zack Greinke, formerly of the Brewers, in this off-season if he is still a free agent "is set up to be the target of a bidding war between two really rich and powerful entities: the Los Angeles Angels and the Dodgers."
Olney said "the Angels gave up some prospects to get him and intend to keep him; on the other hand, the Dodgers seem prepared to offer blank checks."
Greinke has reshaped his reputation for the better during his stay with the Brewers, according to Olney.
"Some of the baseball officials who explored the idea of pursuing Greinke 20 months ago walked away, put off by his personality, and when Greinke left Kansas City, there were folks in the Royals organization who thought it was a good time for him to depart," Olney said.

Reid first met Holmgren at Brigham Young University when Reid was a tackle and guard on the team. Holmgren was on BYU's coaching staff.
When Holmgren later became head coach of the Packers, he hired Reid as an assistant. They were together for all seven years of Holmgren's tenure in Green Bay, from 1992 to '98. Reid became the head coach of the Eagles on Jan. 11, 1999.

Back, back, back, back. . .
Nate Silver of the New York Times wrote in his blog how unusual it was for a candidate for president to pick a regular member of the U.S. Congress as a running mate, as Mitt Romney did in selecting Paul Ryan of Janesville.
Rarer still is a vice presidential candidate from that group (which does not include the Speaker of the House) who last was on a winning ticket.
How rare? Silver in his blog invoked a year Chicago Cubs fans know all about.
"The last time an ordinary member of the House was elected vice president, and the last Republican, was more than 100 years ago: in 1908, when William Howard Taft and James S. Sherman, a New York congressman, were chosen by voters," Silver wrote. "(Coincidentally, that fall was also the last time that the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.)" (2)

GQ to carry excerpt of Paterno's biography
In its September issue, GQ magazine is to carry an excerpt from Joe Posnanski's biography of Penn State football coach Joe Paterno.
The magazine's web site posted three bits from the excerpt, including a description of the day after Paterno had learned he was fired because of the Jerry Sandusky scandal:
- "On Thursday, Paterno met with his coaches at his house. He sobbed uncontrollably. This was his bad day. Later, one of his former captains, Brandon Short, stopped by the house. When Brandon asked, 'How are you doing, Coach?' Paterno answered, 'I'm okay,' but the last syllable was shaky, muffled by crying, and then he broke down and said, 'I don't know what I'm going to do with myself.' Nobody knew how to handle such emotion. Joe had always seemed invulnerable. On Thursday, though, he cried continually. 'My name . . . I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something. And now it's gone.' "

Big East's new commissioner touts league's upside
A story in the current edition of The Sporting News likened the Big East Conference to a patient who recently has undergone a number of surgeries and "is now resting in serious but stable condition."
If that's the case, then a specialist has been brought in to be the patient's new attending physician.
Former CBS and ESPN television executive Mike Aresco (left), the new Big East commissioner, has taken on the daunting task of trying to keep the patient from more surgery and restore him to health. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

UW broadcaster Lepay shares his views from behind the mic
Much of Matt Lepay's new book, "Why Not Wisconsin? From Barry to Bo: Broadcasting the Badgers from the Best Seat in the House" is the about resurrection of UW's fortunes in football and basketball since the 1980s.
But some of it is about the craft of sports broadcasting as practiced by Lepay, who has been voted the state broadcaster of the year seven times since he started at Wisconsin in 1988. The book goes on sale in September.
Lepay said he first had ambitions to become a broadcaster when he was youngster growing up in Ohio listening to Al Michaels call Cincinnati Reds games on radio. Michaels was the radio voice of the Reds until after the 1973 season, when he became an announcer for the San Francisco Giants. Marty Brennaman took Michaels' place. »Read Full Blog Post(14)

HBO's "Real Sports," which is to air Tuesday at 8 p.m., includes a profile of "Monday Night Football" game analyst Jon Gruden, whose enthusiasm for football is undiminished even though he has not coached in four years.
Gruden routinely gets up at 3:15 a.m. and goes to his office to view game tape starting at 4 a.m.
"Yeah, it's - probably not wise at times, probably not normal," Gruden tells Bryant Gumbel. "It's my rhythm. It's the beat that I go to." »Read Full Blog Post
Big O gives Big No to those comparing greatness from different eras
When Oscar Robertson was in town last week, he said he finds no credibility in those efforts to compare players and teams from different eras in basketball. Robertson, a hall of famer, played on the 1960 U.S. Olympic team in Rome.
"What happens today in sports – television," Robertson said. "Some guys who never dribbled a basketball or shot a free throw or done anything at all – got a rebound – start telling you how great everybody else is. For instance, they talked about the '92 team vs. this (2012) Olympic team, who would win. Hey, they don't know that. I don't know that, either. They are not going to play each other. It's all speculation.
"Anyone who's on the screen (saying), Michael Jordan would have done this, Patrick Ewing would have done this, Charles Barkley would have done this," Robertson said. "They don't know anything about it whatsoever. They have no idea." (10)

Peyton's place in Denver sells some NFL jerseys online
Peyton Manning's return to the NFL as a member of the Denver Broncos has the full backing, and the full back, of the consumer.
From April 1 to July 31, Manning's Broncos jersey was the top-selling one at nflshop.com.

Siragusa doesn't remember his time under Infante with fondness
In his new book, "Goose: The Outrageous Life & Times of a Football Guy," Tony Siragusa recalls with affection his coach in Indianapolis (and later Baltimore), Ted Marchibroda.
But Siragusa has no fond memories of Lindy Infante, the former Packers head coach, who succeeded Marchibroda as head coach of the Colts in 1996. Infante had been the team's offensive coordinator in 1995.
"Infante was a guy who only cared about whether his offense looked good or not," Siragusa says in the book he wrote with Don Yaeger. "The reality is that Infante was just an average offensive coordinator, and none of us really understood why Jim Irsay made him the head coach. . . . Everybody on that team would have died for Marchibroda. He was completely respected by the players." »Read Full Blog Post(18)

Al and Nick Toon part of ESPN's health-in-football series of reports
Starting on Friday, ESPN is going to air a week-long series of reports about the health issues associated with football at all levels, from youth to pro football.
Called "Football at a Crossroads," the reports will appear across all of ESPN's platforms.
On Sunday's edition of ESPN's "Outside the Lines," which starts at 8 a.m., reporter Mark Schwarz is to interview former Wisconsin receivers Al Toon and his son, Nick Toon, who finished his UW career last season, was drafted in the fourth round by New Orleans and is in Saints camp.
After starring in football and track at Wisconsin, Al Toon was drafted 10th overall in 1985 by the New York Jets, where he played for eight years. He retired from football because of recurring concussions.
UW broadcaster Lepay ranks his favorite Big Ten venues
In his new book, Wisconsin broadcaster Matt Lepay ranks the Big Ten football and basketball venues he has most enjoyed working over the years.
Lepay, who has been at UW since 1988, excludes Nebraska's Memorial Stadium for football, because he has not called a game there. He has called one game at Bob Devaney Center in Lincoln, but does not include that site in his basketball list.
Lepay lines his top five this way on the football side: 1. Beaver Stadium (Penn State); 2. Ohio Stadium (Ohio St.); 3. Kinnick Stadium (Iowa); 4. Michigan Stadium (Michigan) and 5. Spartan Stadium (Michigan St.).
On the basketball side he has it: 1. Breslin Center (Michigan St.); 2. Assembly Hall (Illinois); 3. Mackey Arena (Purdue); 4. Assembly Hall (Indiana); and 5. Williams Arena (Minnesota). (1)

ESPN on Thursday said it will carry 450 college football games this season across all its platforms.
All five Bowl Championship Series games will be on ESPN, including the Rose Bowl, which is set to air as part of a doubleheader with the Orange Bowl on Tuesday Jan. 1.

- Thursday, Jan. 3, 7:30 p.m., Fiesta Bowl

Ranking of MLB teams set to succeed the next five years not high on Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers are not poised for success over the next five years, at least compared to some other teams in baseball.
That's the conclusion of a future power rankings assessment done by Buster Olney, Jim Bowden and Keith Law of ESPN Insider, who ranked all 30 teams in MLB in five weighted categories.
Those areas were: majors (current roster quality), minors (quality, quantity of prospects), finance (money to spend), management (owner, front office, coaches) and mobility (young, inexpensive guys or old, immovable objects). »Read Full Blog Post(1)

He scored the winning touchdown for the Colts in the 1958 NFL Championship Game against the New York Giants. (1)
Packers vs. . . . Broncos in the Super Bowl? That's what it says here
It's not unusual that ESPN The Magazine picked the Packers to advance to and win the Super Bowl XLVII this season. Lots of prognosticators have run that route this pre-season. That big, blinking 15-1 up on the billboard from last season is hard to dismiss.
More interestingly, the magazine's writers picked the Denver Broncos to win the AFC Championship.
"Sorry, can't use that line about East Coast bias," their commentary about the predictions reads. The Bronocs beat the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII in the 1997 season. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson was chosen by Seattle coach Pete Carroll to be the starter in week one of the regular season against Arizona.
The former Wisconsin star was chosen over former Packers reserve quarterback Matt Flynn, who signed a three-year $19.5 million contract with Seattle in March. Wilson was selected by the Seahawks in the third round of the draft. There were 11 quarterbacks taken in the 2012 draft.

McCarthy can improve Rodgers by tweaking the offense, giving him improved pieces
Last year Aaron Rodgers' team finished 15-1. The Packers' quarterback was voted the MVP in the National Football League. He had a quarterback rating of 122.5, the best in the league. He completed 68.3% of his passes. He threw for 4,653 yards. He threw 45 touchdown passes. He was intercepted just six times in 502 attempts.
So how does his head coach, Mike McCarthy, coax another kind of season of Rodgers' like that? Coaxing is the wrong word because it implies Rodgers needs to be coaxed. He doesn't. But he does need coaching.
What can a coach do or say to get similar, or better, results from a quarterback the season following a phenomenal one? »Read Full Blog Post(12)

From the start, ESPN "Monday Night Football" game analyst Jon Gruden was enthusiastic about the talents and skills of former Wisconsin star quarterback Russell Wilson.
Before and during the NFL draft Gruden expressed his admiration for Wilson's game.
Near the end of his visit with Wilson on his quarterbacks camp show, Gruden said: "I think Russell Wilson will be one of the steals of this draft. He is going to be overlooked by some because of his height. But I do think at the end of the day, when you check back on this draft 10 years later, he is going to have had a very good career." »Read Full Blog Post(4)
Fox to use 'Player Pointers' technology to ID players during football telecasts
Fox Sports executive Eric Shanks told reporters on Thursday that Fox's NFL game telecasts this season will include a new enhancement called Player Pointers.
Shanks described it as "a new way to identify players" and cited a hypothetical example.
"When Troy (Aikman) is talking about a particular match-up out on the left side, those guys' names will pop up and follow them," Shanks said. "Kind of like our NASCAR pointers follow cars. That is a completely new technology and new to us. I think it will be one of the most helpful innovations that we've come up with since the first-down line." »Read Full Blog Post(4)

How to get melted aluminum foil off of oven floor?

After smelling the fumes all night, I decided to line bottom with heavy duty aluminum foil. Alas, before the oven even reached 350 degrees, the foil had melted in the middle where a previous spill had been cleaned during the cleaning yesterday. Can I get it off without damaging the oven?

Consuming oil
I don't think it's normal, but I figured I would ask anyway. Anyone else withthe gen. 4 Ram with the 4.7 notice that it consumes oil?
I noticed the last two times I changed the oil that there was less oil draining than needed to fill the system. Some is obviously lost via the old filter, but it seemed odd. So ... I've been paying more attention. After about 2500 miles I needed to add about a pint (just below the low line) and at about 3500 miles I look to be down about another quart. No leak detectable (clean pavement in my parking space). I'm going to ask at the dealer tomorrow durring my recall inspection, but I figured I would ask you all as well.
Maybe i should go check my oil lol,when i change my oil (every 3 k) its always a little low,but never below the line.
I'm using mobile 1 so I've been changing the oil between 5k and 6k, but only 3.5k since the last change.
Asked about it while I was in for recall. Service manager said that, "it's normal for internal combustion engines to use a little oil", but that we are all spoiled by how efficient modern engines are at conserving oil.
However, he said that the apparent 1.5 quarts I've lost seems like a bit much. He told me to top it off for now, but bring it to them for the next oil change so they can get a date and milage in the system. Then I should be vigelant durring the next interval, but if the oil level decreases not to fill it up, but rather bring it back in so that they can document the loss. I've got about 2000 miles until I'm due for another change, and at the rate I've been driving since I switched jobs (I ride the bus to work now) that wont be till february 2012!
He made a comment about getting it documented while it's still under warrenty, but the '09 had a lifetime powertrain warrenty, and I assume oil consumption would apply.
thats sucks!!!! mine is a 08 but has the same motor,ive never even checked my oil,take it to the dealer every 3,000 miles,maybe i need to check it!!!!!!!!
Yeah, give it a look. I've hard this engine is prone to sludging, perhaps it actually prone to oil loss that results in sludging.
P.S. Go Gators
My 02 4.7 eats oil too. About every 2500-3000 miles I loose around a quart. No leaks...i just keep adding and topping off when low.
my charger did the same thing havent checked my truck yet and yes i gotta say it go gators im a huge gator fan
I'm going ot have it official checked soon. Almost time for an oil change so I'll let the dealer do it so they will beleive me when I bring it back low. Since the last change I've had to add 3 quarts.
I also periodically get this reaction. Only after driving distance on the freeway, the first light I stop at (or toll booth) the truck won't accelerate. It sputters like it's running on empty. I pull my foot from the gas and step down again and it's completely normal. Then if I park the truck and let it cool down (at least several hours) the next time I start it there will be a puff of black (not blue) smoke out the tail pipe about 30 seconds after ignition. I've been in for that twice before but they can't replicate the issue. No codes. I'm sure this is somehow related to the oil consumption but noone can figure it out.
Keep us posted on what they say when you take it in, seems a bit on the excessive side as for oil consumption to me.

Just a good guy looking for a special girl
Hi, my name is Aaron. I was born and raised in North Miami. My Family is originally from Israel. I love to watch and play any sports, but especially Basketball and Football. I am a huge movie buff, and when I am not working I usually just like to hang out with friends, go to a bar(not much of a club person) and work out. I looking for someone that is going to be caring and loving. Someone who is smart and funny, likes to go out but doesn't mind staying home and just hanging out. I want a girl that will be my best friend and my girlfriend all at the same time. I want a girl that is independent but also doesn't mind me taking care of them also.

I like to go to any place bar or club with good music. I prefer a bar more then a club just because I like the more relax environment.
