In just two days another Thanksgiving will be upon us. A day to enjoy family, an unreasonable amount of food and a full schedule of NFL football. While I would love to go on a 500 word rant about all my favorite foods from Thanksgiving (pumpkin pie, obviously), I figured I would instead create a perfect schedule to make sure you get the most out of your holiday.
Assuming you are not the person preparing all the food, the morning of Thanksgiving is the time to sit back and rest up; you have a big day ahead of you. Eat something really light for breakfast—no heavy pancakes or waffles. The only exception is if you are offered a plate of bacon. Choose the bacon.
With just 30 minutes until kick-off, assess the seating situation. If you are with a big group, seating can be at a premium, so be prepared to claim your spot. You don't want to be stuck standing.

With nine weeks of the NFL season now officially in the books, teams have begun to distinguish themselves as contenders or pretenders. There have been some surprises and some disappointments, but it has all been entertaining. Now the NFL enters its unofficial second half of the season, and there is plenty of dramatic story-lines for fans to be excited about.
The Falcons are the lone undefeated team in the NFL, but despite their perfect record many doubt that Atlanta is a true Super Bowl contender. They had to come from behind in the 4th quarter for three straight games against mediocre teams; those teams currently have a combined record of 8-17. The question is: can the Falcons step up when they face tougher competition?
The Indianapolis Colts were the worst team in the league last year, winning only two games. The prize for all their losing? QB Andrew Luck, who they recruited with the first overall pick in the draft. Many predicted that he would be good, but few thought he would be this good. He has already led the Colts to five wins this season and a real shot at the postseason. This could be the start of a long and successful career for Luck, and it should be great to watch.

The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL on the field in recent years, but off the field, they remain one of the biggest draws in the game.
So far in 2012, the Cowboys have had the second-highest number of orders on TicketNetwork.com, only bested by their NFC East rivals, the New York Giants. Of course, the caveat in all that is that nearly 25% of the Giants orders came from their home opener against, you guessed it, the Dallas Cowboys.
The most popular game on Dallas' 2012 home schedule has been their Week 15 match-up against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game has sold nearly 50% more tickets than any other Dallas home game and has the highest average price per ticket sold at $293. The least expensive game on the schedule is this week's home opener in Arlington against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The first week of the NFL season is now in the books and it did not disappoint. Teams like the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens proved they were worthy of all the off-season hype that surrounded their teams, while others like the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions stumbled, but won, in their opening games. With that being said, there were a few moments that stood out above all else in the opening week of the 2012 NFL Season:
When Peyton Manning decided to sign with Denver in the offseason, speculation began about whether or not Manning was fully recovered from his neck injury that cost him all of last season. Well, the future Hall-of-Famer silenced all of his doubters. Manning threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, helping Denver to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19 on Sunday night. The Broncos now head to Atlanta to face the Falcons on Monday Night Football.

Happy Labor Day everybody! We celebrate the day by wrapping up our preview of the upcoming NFL season (which is now just two days away) by taking a look at the NFC West.
(To view previous NFL previews, click on any of the following division names: AFC East, AFC North, AFC South, AFC West, NFC East, NFC South, NFC North)
The Arizona Cardinals are just a few years away from being in the Super Bowl, but since QB Kurt Warner retired, the team has struggled to find a competent replacement. The starting QB job this year will go to Kevin Kolb, who has struggled throughout his time in Arizona, with John Skelton waiting in the wings if Kolb trips up. If Arizona wants a successful 2012, they need one of the quarterbacks to be able to get the ball to arguably the best wide receiver in the game, Larry Fitzgerald.
Projection: Unless one of the team's quarterbacks exceeds expectations, the Cardinals are on their way to another mediocre season without a trip to the postseason.

Sebastian Little League All-Star Softball ends for season
By all accounts, it was a spectacular season for Sebastian's Little League softball team.
But in the end, two Port St. Lucie teams were the winners in the District 17 All-Star semifinals at the Barber Street Sports Complex in Sebastian on July 9.
In the first game, the Port St. Lucie National team, backed by no-hit pitching by Ashley Rosado, defeated Vero Beach 13-0.
Port St. Lucie National scored five times in the first inning, highlighted by Desirae Page's three-run double. Port St. Lucie scored four more times in the second inning, giving it a 9-0 lead,
In the second game, the Port St. Lucie American team beat the team from Sebastian 21-5. The Port St. Lucie American team played the Vero Beach team for the championship.
"It was a long, hot game," said Sebastian coach Vince Trionfo. "I think our girls were tired from the night before, and that allowed the team from Port St. Lucie to score so many runs."
But Trionfo said he was proud of his team.
"They tried really hard," he said.

Cheap motels, you gotta love 'em. Motels are one of those things that I hate spending money on. All I want is a place to lay my head and have a bath or shower. It has to be clean but that's it. Usually I look for a Motel 6 since they're consistent but I prefer the funky old Mom and Pop places if one turns up at a convenient time. During this trip I did discover one thing: while Motel 6 is usually the cheapest they charge $3 for wifi and the wifi is not iPad friendly. I could log onto it but generally it required me calling tech service and having them identify my machine for access - a pain in the butt. Other places would be a buck or two more but offered free wifi that was easily accessible so as the trip progressed I started changing my allegiance. On a related note McDonalds has free wifi throughout the US. Cheap breakfast and free wifi - what more could a girl want! OK, I can think of lots of things but this is a family thread.
I left Flagstaff on another gorgeous sunny morning and headed north on US89 toward Cameron and Page.
I came over those hills last night/
As I'm tooling along I come to a sign for the Sunset Crater and the Wupatki National Monuments. It's a 30+ mile loop that re-joins US89 further north. Looked interesting and I'm in no hurry so off I go and I'm really glad I did. The area around Sunset Crater is an alien looking landscape made up of lava and cinders with scraggly looking vegetation struggling to find a foothold.
The actual volcano
Can you tell I found this place fascinating?
From Sunset Crater the road winds north toward the Painted Desert.
North of Sunset Crater is the Wupatki National Monument. Here there are several sites of ruined pueblo. It's a really cool place too.
I exited Wupatki at the junction with US89 and headed toward Cameron. I love the scenery around here. The colours are amazing and it's so different from the Pacific Northwest. This is definitely Cowgirl country.
The Little Colorado Gorge
Entering Grand Canyon National Park from the east the first overlook is at the Desert View Watchtower.
I didn't decide to come to the Grand Canyon unitl day before yesterday - how'd they know?
As I left the park southbound the wind started up again and by the time I reached I40 it was again blowing a gale. Following semis in this kind of wind is horrible as they disrupt the flow and make things even more difficult. At one point I tried to pass a truck and the turbulence was so bad it sent me into a speed wobble at 70mph I was able to recover and backed off. Time for clean underwear!!
All the way from Kingman to Las Vegas the wind blew steadily - I made the whole trip leaning sideways but I no longer cared. Bring it on - I'm the Queen of the Wind!!!
I pulled up to the hotel just before dusk and my buddies from the band spied me so I was greeted by them calling my name. They all wanted to hear about my adventures over the last 2 days. I went to check in but the hotel had no rooms for the night, they were all taken up by various military bands. Now that was a disappointment! No room at the prime hunting ground I hung out with the band for a while then headed out to find a Motel 6 As I was leaving the parking lot I saw a group of motorcycles including a GS and two fellows standing with them so I had to investigate. One of the guys was an ADV inmate and we chatted for an hour and a half there in the parking lot about our adventures, Death Valley and various routes I might take homeward. He was a member of the Air Force Band and a really cool dude I hope our paths cross again sometime.

Day 11: April 14, 2011
I dropped in for breakfast and to say good-bye to my new band buddies before heading off to Death Valley. Death Valley is one of those places I'd wanted to visit for years, for me it evokes romantic images of the west.
Leaving Las Vegas
Right about here I passed a gas station and I looked at the gauge. It looked like I had about a quarter of a tank so I just kept going figuring there would be another station down the road. Then I went by a sign that said Pahrump 60 miles and right then the gauge dropped to one bar. Hmmmm, well, there's bound to be a station before Pahrump. Guess what? Yep, nope.
I almost made it. I'm just about to town, I've already passed a shopping centre (no gas station though) and she dies I coasted as long as I could but there was no station in sight. I'm resigned to a bit of a hike, after all, it's my own fault. I look back and there's a couple of highways trucks coming down the shoulder so I decide to stay with the bike until they go by.
The first truck pauses and the driver asks me what the problem is. I tell him, he goes by then stops. The second truck stops behind me and the driver gets out and comes over, shakes his head and clucks. Yeah, I know, I'm an idiot. Then he says "Get in, we'll get you some gas." Way cool! The first truck and driver stay with my bike (even way cooler) and the second drives me a mile or two down the road to a gas station. Of course they don't have a gas can, not even one for sale, but the cashier helps me dig up a gallon bottle from the car wash next door and I fill that up then the highways guy takes me back to my bike. They both waited until the bike was running (fuel injection, she started right up) and then waved me on my way. A whole bunch of really nice people there in Pahrump. I don't think the whole thing took 30 minutes
Made it!!
Death Valley is one of the most amazing places I've ever been. Desolate and awful in the true sense of the word.
I don't know why it's so green here. It was a surprise.
I stopped at the Visitor Center at Furnace Creek for camping information and also to ask about Titus Canyon. From the first mention I had made that I was going to Death Valley everybody had told me I had to ride Titus Canyon. "But" I said "I have almost no experience off-pavement." "You'll be fine" was the reply. When I asked the ranger about it she looked askance at me but didn't tell me not to do it, she just asked if my tires were in good shape. I assured her they were. "Take water" she said. She also directed me to Texas Springs campground. "You'll want to camp there. No generators allowed." Thanks.
I went up and set up camp. If you read my other thread you know I'm a camping noob. I learned a valuable lesson that night. Don't pick the spot next to the one with the big tent After pitching my tent I went back to Furnace Creek for dinner. I ran into a couple of guys there, one on a 650 V-Strom and one on a KLR, they'd just finished riding Titus Canyon. Their advice - be careful on the switchbacks and watch out for loose gravel. Oh, and stay off the front brake. Thanks. I'm still not sure it's something I should attempt, I'll sleep on it.
There's still some daylight so I decide to ride over to Stovepipe Wells for dessert.
Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes
I get back to my tent and the family in the big tent next to me have come back - all seven of them I get to listen to screaming baby and whining toddler for the next 2 hours but they did lend me a hammer to pound in my tent pegs The baby doesn't keep me awake though.
Tomorrow Titus Canyon - maybe.

Been following your RR all through the dating thread and now this one. Love your writing and pics.
And now you've learned an ADV lesson "you never pass gas while riding"

Hey Cowgirl, loving your report, great pics. Took me back down memory lane with the Sunset Crater, Grand Canyon and Painted Desert photos, we went through there when I was in 5th grade, way back in the 70's, it left a lasting impression and a love for the southwest. Bummed our paths didn't cross in Death Valley, I was there on the 14th too, perfect time of year to visit there.
Looking forward to more.

Day 12: April 15, 2011
I'm now hooked on camping as long as I get my coffee, that is! Hence this indulgence
I still had plenty of gas so I decided to avoid the $5.54/gal gas at Furnace Creek and head to Beatty, NV which is just past the start of the Titus Canyon road. I'd have breakfast there, pick up a hammer and gas up then check out Rhyolite before making my final decision about Titus. Way to procrastinate, eh?
I dropped into the Visitor Centre for one last check on road conditions through Titus Canyon and the ranger warned me again about loose gravel. He also seemed surprised and concerned that I was alone. I'm used to doing things on my own and motorcycle trips didn't seem like they should be an exception. I found that not many people think that way. That doesn't change my mind though.
Beatty turned out to be a drab, dusty little town but gas was $3.85/gal (bonus!) and I did find a hammer The only place that served breakfast was the casino and true to form the restaurant was buried in the bowels of the building and had no windows or ambiance. All the better to rush patrons back to the serious business of gambling. Somehow I didn't see Beatty as a tourist destination.
West of Beatty is the ghost town of Rhyolite. The grizzled curator of the museum there explained that when the mine played out and the inhabitants left they took all the wooden buildings with them due to the scarcity of wood in the Nevada desert leaving the brick and concrete buildings behind.
Rhyolite is also home to an open air art gallery. I didn't think my ride report would be complete without a few pictures of favourite ADV exhibits.
The picture I wanted to take here would have got me banned.
I would have called it "Red, White and Blonde"
A couple of miles west of Rhyolite is the beginning of the Titus Canyon road. For those of you not familiar with this landmark it's a 27 mile, one way, one lane gravel jeep track across the desert, over Red Pass and through Titus Canyon. When I pulled into the parking lot at the start of the road there were two serious dirt bike guys getting ready to depart. They hadn't ridden the road before either so they had no insights but they very altruistically offered to ride with me. I declined the offer since I knew I would be slow (if I went at all, I still hadn't made up my mind) and I didn't want to ruin their fun. They took off, fishtailing and spewing gravel and I knew I'd made the right decision there. I sat for a few minutes screwing up my courage, then thought, "I'm here, what the heck!" and started off. Those of you in the know can make your comments now
The first 7 miles weren't too bad. Washboard, yes, big rocks, yes, potholes, yes, but all in all I did alright and was starting to feel a bit more confident.
The road started to wind and climb, still OK, I could handle this.
Up ahead I could see the road went up the hill in a series of switchbacks. Oh oh, this doesn't look good.
The road got steeper and steeper and rockier and rockier. Now I had a cliff going up on my left and one going down on my right. Every turn was a hairpin. I have to tell you I was scared but there was no turning back - one way, remember even if there was a place to turn around ............... and there wasn't.
I came around one of the switchbacks right into a big patch of loose, fist sized rocks and I went down, hard. This is where I was really glad I'd bought that gear. My toe jammed in the rocks and the bike came down on my heel driving my foot into the ground. I'm sure the reason I walked away was entirely due to those boots. The armour in the pants kept me from having shredded knees as well. Now to get the bike back up. She was laying on the downhill side of the curve in a pile of rocks where I could get no footing. I struggled there for 20 minutes or so before a 4X4 came along and the two guys in it helped me. Once we had the bike on her wheels they literally had to push me out of those rocks, the tires could get no purchase. All I could do was wave and call out my thanks over my shoulder as I climbed the road - there was no way I was stopping on that hill! That was the last switchback before the crest and then I started down the other side - just as horrible except now I'm going downhill. I kept repeating "Back brake, back brake" like a mantra but it worked. Oh yeah, and once in a while "Breathe". On a steep downhill with a switchback at the bottom (and a cliff) I stalled. I got going again but then was too scared to let her roll to engage the clutch and I went down again. Again I had to wait for someone to come along to help me lift her up. I was relieved it wasn't the same guys, I already felt kinda stupid for attempting something that was clearly beyond my experience level. Somehow, once I was back aboard it didn't seem so hard and I continued on.
When I was looking for pictures of the road to get an idea of what I was thinking of getting myself into I couldn't find any, now I knew why. Once you're on the climb up, over and down Red Pass there's no stopping for pictures, there's just doing it. I should have taken some while Sunshine was laying there on her side but it wasn't my priority at the time. I've found some pictures and videos since but the road doesn't look nearly as rough as it felt to me then. Probably just my perspective but I've noticed that in pictures before.
Finally the road straightened out to gentle curves and the slope became more gradual. No potholes either. Whew, I'd made it. Wrong! What looked like good road was just loose crushed gravel. As I started to give her some throttle the rear wheel slid out sideways as the front wheel sunk in and bogged down. Crap!! This time I managed to stay upright and get the bike under control - guess I'll just keep going slow
I passed Leadfield but I didn't stop to view the ghost town. I knew if I stopped it would be very difficult to get up the energy and nerve to continue so I just kept going. The couple who had stopped to help me the second time had passed me earlier and were there. They waved and called "Only 12 miles to go!" They passed me again later.
What happened next made everything else worthwhile - I actually reached Titus Canyon! It's spectacular!
After a bit I met some hikers coming up the canyon and they took some pictures for me. Check out the left turn signal, there's a rock jammed in there from the first fall. I found it later and I kept it as a souvenir The signal still worked.
(I really have to do something about that bubble-head Cylon helmet)
When I came out the other side the couple who helped me were there in the parking lot. I kinda think they were watching for me because they came out onto the road and gave me a wave. I thanked them again for their help.
I breathed a sigh of relief, the trial was over. Wrong again I still had a few more miles of rotten, pot-holed loose gravel to cover. The only difference was now I had oncoming traffic to worry about.
I finally made it out to the pavement. It only took me 3 and a half hours to cover that 27 miles. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. I was scared a lot of the time, it was way beyond my experience level and the bike I was riding was way too big and not off-road capable enough for that experience level. Obviously if it wasn't for the assistance of random strangers it wouldn't have worked out the way it did. Was I foolish to attempt it? Probably. Am I glad I did? You bet! I learned a lot about myself and my own capabilities. Next time I'll be better prepared but the feeling of accomplishment will always be part of me.

Some of my best trip experiences have come shortly after thinking "Aww, how bad could it be?"
I now have proof that just because you can, doesn't mean you should take a Subaru down a path where you pinstripe your paint, and can't see what is in the plants you are driving through. Learned to spot where I drive very carefully, as the ground can give way very fast. I have the dents and scrapes on the bottom to prove it.
(Now I just need stuff like that on motorcycles.
Do you talk to people you meet on the road?

"I honestly cannot say enough about the customer service, customization process, and this beautiful invitation! I was SO nervous to order my wedding invitations online, but I will be telling all my friends to order from wedding paper divas! I was able to COMPLETLY customize my invitations and RSVP's to have the exact format and look I was wanting. Upgrading to the thicker paper is completely worth it for the price! I am beyond happy."
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"I have recently ordered this in the gold text with the white envelopes. Quality of paper, text and colours were brilliant, clear resolution and of fine quality. All personal design requests that i had made were dealt with in no time, quick, friendly helpful service. All ordered online, did not have to telephone or get in contact with anyone, was a simple and easy process overall. Delivery of this item was much faster than i had anticipated, as it was an international delivery it was delivered within 2 working days, which i am very pleased with as i was told it would take up to 5-11 days. Very pleased with this product and with Wedding Paper Divas, especially as this was my first time coming across this website and purchasing from here. i will most definitely recommend this card for someone who is looking for a simple yet elegant wedding invitation. I will also be ordering from Wedding Paper Divas again as i am really impressed with the service, quality and range of choice."
"I absolutely love these invitations. The paper is gorgeous and the printing is perfect. The die cut I ordered is such a nice touch! Perfect. But, if you can't print out a proof easily, then there is potential for error. So.... Advice! Please call this company to send you a proof or digital email if you need to see and make corrections on paper and not the computer screen. Super customer service. If only all companies were like this one! Sincerely, Barb"
"These cards are great - simple and elegant. They arrived super quickly and the customer service / designer that assisted us was fantastic. The process was smooth and effortless."

When you're Asian, everyone likes to guess your race like it's a game show. I'll give you a moment to think about your answer… Yes, that's correct! I'm 100% Chinese. I came to the US when I was 8 years old and got my citizenship when I turned 18. I'm proud to be an American which means that if anyone starts a USA chant, I'll definitely join them. Its been a few years since i graduated from college and I consider myself very fortunate to have a good job in a bad economy. I work in a corporate environment which unfortunately is a dull place where laughter is hard to find, but a great place to be sleep deprived and stressed. Right now I'm doing my "grown man" thing which is going to work and being responsible by paying the bills. For fun I like to see improv comedy or stand up shows, because I love a good laugh. When I'm not looking for laughter, I like to challenge myself by learning something new whether its cooking, baking, or finding new types of workouts. I've also never thought I'd enjoy dancing, but I've taken salsa classes and It's a lot of fun. I'm getting some good exercise and learning some awesome moves. I'm basically the type of person that's not afraid to try anything once...except skydiving or anything that involves bears, no thank you. As much as I'm enjoying life now, I am looking for that special someone who share similar values and interests as me. Everything is just much more enjoyable when the right person is by your side. If you think we have something in common and also would have a good time together, send me an email.

I would say yes to the first one. My panic attacks are getting more frequent and severe.
I want to just lie down and cry. I don't want to feel like I can't go near my best friend anymore just because I'm too nervous around her. I want to choke someone when I'm around her.
I feel like I'm slowly going insane.
My hands shake and.. There's a pencil... I could pick up that pencil... I could throw it into her head.. I could impale her and end this right now..
No she's my best friend. I love her.
I can't do that.
Kill me. I'm dizzy.
Mr. Davis says to pay attention.. Who's Mr. Davis? Why am I here?
I'm tired.. Oh god I'm gonna pass out in class. I'm hyperventilating.. Oh god she's looking.
Don't pass out. Don't throw the pencil. It's okay. Everything will be okay.
Run away. Run away.
And so I ran.
I ran down the block.
And I got caught.
And when I got home I took boo out and just .. I got baked.
I wasn't nervous. I wasn't dizzy. I wasn't scared. I didn't want to rip someone's head off. I didn't want to run away.
I have problems.
I'd trade lives with anyone.
Are you sure you want to play this game?
I'm afraid you'd lose

Stock VXL ESC and V3500 - Slash Ultimate was running great. Had the slipper in, was geared 21/54, running Traxxas 2S and 3S LiPos no issues, running fast and fun for months. Went to track and made these changes: replaced slipper with center diff, geared down to 11/54 and installed new Losi green springs in front. Made 3 or 4 runs on the track with the 2S, was ok, did not have the punch I needed. Changed to the 3S, made 2 runs, much faster and punchy. On the 3rd run, not doing much, a quick punch of the gas to jump and I heard a pop. Lost everything - dead. Grabbed Slash, burning smell, small amount of smoke. Seemed like the ESC, but then broke it down and found the motor and the ESC were both toast. The ESC is all burnt and one of the wires came out of the ESC. And the motor, well...
Can anyone shed some light on why this happened?
Not a hot day, not pushing it real hard or anything.
The copper wires in the motor are kinda messed up, is there any fixing a motor like this or is it junk?
Does anyone think Traxxas will help me out with this?
Is it even worth it to try with Traxxas?
Please let me know that I am not the only one that this happened to!
This thing stinks!
Stinks real bad!
I take it the magnet is not supposed to look like this?
The other side.
Some of the copper wires are out of place and messed up a little.
Can I replace the magnet and be back up and running?
I think when it locked, it chewed up my spur gear a little.

Pete Fiutak
Kenny Phillips, SS Miami
While he was considered a bit of a disappointment last year
thanks to some ridiculously high standards, he still came up with 82
tackles and two interceptions. No, he's not Ed Reed or Sean Taylor,
and he's a bit lanky and thin at 6-2, 212 pounds, but he's a nice
athlete who doesn't miss many tackles. The biggest problem isn't raw speed or his inability to live up to the tremendous hype, but
it's his lack of big plays. He's a steady player, not a spectacular
one. While he'll be plugged in and will start for a long time, he's
not going to be a highlight reel performer.
CFN Projection: First Round
2. Tyrell Johnson, SS Arkansas State
Kind of like
a critically acclaimed underground movie that's finally getting a wide
release, Johnson goes from being a star that most college football
junkies knew about for the last four years to a possible big-value
selection. A tremendous starter from day one, Johnson can do it all with
363 career tackles and 13 interceptions to go along with good leadership
skills. Forget about the stigma of playing in the Sun Belt; he showed up
against the big boys, too. A huge hitter with fantastic speed, timing a
4.44 at the Combine, he just needs a little bit of coaching to put it
all together and be a possible star. He'll be an instant impact player
CFN Projection: Second Round
3. DaJuan Morgan, FS NC State
Considering this is a weak year for safeties, Morgan made a great move
leaving early. In most years he would've been better served coming back
for his senior season having only started for one year, but he has
decent 6-0, 205-pound size, good-enough 4.54 speed, and the versatility
to play corner or free safety. He cares about being good and will make
himself better. He'll need a little more time, a lot of patience to work
through his mistakes, and some serious coaching on consistent technique,
but he'll grow into a nice starter.
CFN Projection: Second Round
4. Josh Barrett, SS Arizona State
4.36. Barrett was a decent prospect at 6-2 and 223 pounds with strong
run stopping skills, and he showed the versatility to play either safety
spot, and then he ripped off a 4.36 40 and his stock jumped through the
roof. Now he has to play up to his measurables. He had a weird senior
season as he didn't play well at times, disappeared for long stretches
in games, and then came up with just enough big moments to leave
everyone wanting more. On athleticism alone he'll be a great pickup, but
he'll need a kick in the pants from time to time.
CFN Projection: Second Round
5. Quintin Demps, FS UTEP
An excellent four-year starter for UTEP with good ball-hawking skills
and cornerback coverage ability in a safety body, Demps is a seasoned
veteran who can step in right away. He has the 4.41 speed to play
corner, but he's a free safety and can be used from time to time as a
punt returner. Consistent tackling ability is an issue and will be the
difference between starting and being used as a nickelback.
CFN Projection: Third Round To Fourth
Cornelius Brown, SS Missouri
"Pig" was on his way to a huge season for the Tigers before getting
knocked out for the year with a torn Achilles tendon. A physical hitter
with the fire and passion to grow into a team leader, he'd be a
sure-thing top 100 pick if he hadn't gotten hurt. There's still a major
concern about his leg and how quickly he can be the same player, if he
can be the same player. If allowed time to get to 100%, he could be the
best safety in this draft.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
7. Craig Steltz, SS LSU
After a few nice years as a tough backup, Steltz was the best defensive
back in college football in 2007 making 101 tackles, six interceptions,
and seemingly coming up with every big play needed. He's not all that
fast and he's not huge, but he has a great motor, never dogs it, and can
be used early on in nickel situations if he can't get a starting gig.
He's still improving; he could be a far better pro than a collegian.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round To Fifth
Tom Zbikowski, SS Notre Dame
The ultimate tough guy, he was a four-year starter and a good leader
for an Irish defense that was miserable at times before coming through
with an underappreciated 2007. He's a good punt returner who always
makes something happen, and he's a huge hitter against the run. The
problem is his pass coverage ability; he doesn't have any. He needs to
be in a secondary with some really good corners.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
9. Jamar Adams, SS Michigan
The only real issue is his speed, clocking a 4.63. Everything else is
there to succeed with 6-2, 212-pound size, good smarts, and good
want-to; he'll try to make himself into a player. While he makes a lot
of mistakes and will miss tackles, most of his errors come from being
too aggressive. The lack of warp speed will knock him down a few pegs,
and he can't play free safety, but he should be a nice cog in a system.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round To Fifth
10. Thomas DeCoud, FS California
More like a
corner playing safety, the 6-1, 207-pound DeCoud
is a good athlete who hits even bigger than his size. He doesn't make
too many mistakes and is ultra-aggressive. While he's still learning the
position after moving over from corner, he didn't do quite enough
against the pass and he only had roughly a year to figure out what he's
doing. even so, his hitting ability along should make him a nice starter
in time.
CFN Projection: Late Second Round To Early Third
11. Dominique Barber, FS Minnesota
It's not his
fault his team stunk. The brother of Dallas Cowboy RB, Marion, Barber
made 174 tackles over the last two seasons as one of the Gophers' only
playmakers. He timed a slow 4.68 and he isn't great against the pass,
but most of his errors and most of his inconsistencies came from trying
to do too much. No one else on that D, especially in the front seven,
did much of anything.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
12. Kennard Cox, FS/CB Pitt
A corner
turned into a safety, Cox doesn't have the bulk, at just 5-11 and 190
pounds, and he doesn't have the speed, running a 4.52, to be anything
more than a reserve on the outside. However, he's not afraid to get his
nose dirty and is great on special teams. If allowed time to figure out
what he's doing, he could become a valuable third safety and an
emergency corner/nickelback.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round To Sixth Round
D.J. Wolfe, SS Oklahoma
Way overrated in college, Wolfe's calling card is supposed to be his
athleticism but he only timed a 4.64. While he's tough, will work to
make himself into an NFL player, and has good athleticism, he's still
trying to figure out what he's doing and gets beaten way too often. He
moved around the OU secondary seeing some time at corner, but he's a
safety. He won't be a starter but he could be a valuable reserve in a
few years.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
15. Nehemiah Warrick, SS Michigan State
Warrick's brother has a nice set of skills. He's 6-0 and 211 pounds with
4.56 speed, which isn't bad for a strong safety, and huge hitting
ability. His athleticism doesn't quite match up with his speed, he's not
all over the place like he should be, and his ball-skills are extremely
questionable. He'll have to make a team on special teams.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
16. David Roach, FS TCU
Off the radar
screen for a while, Roach showed good enough athleticism at the Combine
and timed a decent 4.57 in the 40 to get back into consideration. Does
he actually want to be an NFL player? There's a big question about his
want-to and he didn't always play up to his measurables in college. Even
so, he has good upside if someone wants to put in the time to keep on
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
17. Nathan Lyles, SS Virginia
4.47 speed makes up for 5-10, 202-pound size. A big hitter who makes
smart decisions and doesn't make many mistakes, he's better against the
pass than the stats would indicate. The problem is a neck injury
suffered early in his college career. He's not going to be a starter,
but he could grow into a big-time special teamer and a nice nickel
CFN Projection: Seventh Round
18. Jamie Silva, SS Boston College
A nice four-year player for BC, Silva grew into something special
his senior season making 125 tackles and eight interceptions. He was
always around the ball and he was a big hitter from day one. He's not a
great athlete and ran a horrific 4.86 at the Combine. Even so, on smarts
and drive he could be a ten-year special teamer and solid backup safety.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round To Seventh Round
19. D.J. Parker, FS Virginia Tech
He didn't
time as well as he needed to, running a 4.64, to make up for his 5-11,
192-pound size, but he's a good athlete who's good when the ball is in
the air. Run support at the NFL level isn't going to be there and he has
no room on his frame to get bigger and turn into a strong safety. He's
not physical enough, but he could become a fantastic third safety or a
nickelback if given a shot.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round To Seventh Round
20. Kareem Moore, FS Nicholls State
Stronger than his 5-10, 213-pound size would indicate, Moore is a great
hitter who'll throw his body all over the place to make a tackle. While
he only put up a 4.67 in the 40, he looks much faster on the field. Now,
that could be the competition he faced, but he did stand out. He's a
good character player who never got banged up despite his physical
CFN Projection: Sixth Round To Seventh Round
21. Dennis Keyes, FS UCLA
While he's a fantastic tackler and had a huge senior year at UCLA, he
needs a lot of coaching and a ton of time in the film room to become an
NFL player. He didn't time all that fast, running a 4.67, and he's not
going to blow up anyone with his shots. He'll have to prove he can do
more against the pass and that he's not afraid to get physical.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round To Seventh Round
22. Chris Horton, SS UCLA
At 6-0 and 212 pounds, he's a strong tackle who might see time as a
woefully undersized linebacker. He's lousy against the pass and can't
play anything but strong safety in the secondary. He can't play free
safety or nickelback and he'll have to be a demon on special teams. The
athleticism isn't there to be a consistent NFL starter in the secondary.
CFN Projection: Free Agent
23. Derrick Doggett, SS/OLB Oregon State
Very aggressive and ultra-productive, Doggett was a tough playmaker
for the Beaver linebacking corps. At 6-2 and 213 pounds, he's way too
small to be an NFL outside linebacker, but he has just enough speed to
grow into a potentially nice defensive back. This is about as big as
he's going to get, and considering he has never played safety, he's a
CFN Projection: Free Agent
24. Marcus Griffin, FS Texas
Versatile enough to play either safety spot, he'll be a free safety
if he's able to stick around in the NFL. More cornerback-sized, without
cornerback speed, he's good at covering running backs and tight ends but
struggled against the faster receivers. While the Texas scheme made him
look a bit worse than he is, he didn't do enough when he had
opportunities. If he doesn't become a star on special teams, he'll have
a hard time sticking.
CFN Projection: Free Agent
25. Caleb Campbell, SS Army
A superior tackling machine, he was the Army defense for the last few
years and a tough defender who did a little of everything well. More
like a smallish linebacker at 6-2 and 229 pounds, he hits like it. Not
the best athlete, he struggles in coverage and missed a lot of plays by
trying to do everything. He's a leader and a hard worker, but he'll have
to show something special right away to stay on a team.
CFN Projection: Free Agent
26. Simeon Castille, FS/CB Alabama
At 6-0 and
195 pounds he's not all that big, but the biggest issue is his lack of
speed running a defensive end-like 4.74 40. While he's a baller who made
plenty of tackles and plenty of plays at a high SEC level, he doesn't
have the measurables or the athleticism to make it at the next level
unless he dramatically improves his strength and quickness.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
27. Corey Lynch, FS Appalachian State
A star high
school running back, Lynch turned into a big-time producer for the beat
D-IAA/FCS program around. He's a terrific leader who hits well, does
whatever is needed, and knows where everyone is supposed to be. He's not
a superior athlete and he's not the best form tackler, but he's a
playmaker with a tough-guy mentality to become a special teams

What is Sakila?
Sakila is the official name of the MySQL dolphin (the logo).
The name comes from a competition to name the dolphin. The winning name was submitted by Ambrose Twebaze, an Open Source software developer from Swaziland, Africa. According to Ambrose, the name Sakila has its roots in SiSwati, the local language of Swaziland. Sakila is also the name of a town in Arusha, Tanzania, near Ambrose's country of origin, Uganda.
Get the Sakila Sample Database
Download the database from the Sakila Download page on the MySQL Documentation Site.
The Sakila Sample database includes documentation for installation and descriptions of database objects. Also included in a MySQL Workbench Schema definition and appropiate image.
From the talk at the MySQL Users Conference 2006
Notes by Sheeri Kritzer
Updates by Ronald Bradford
About the Sakila Sample Database
Why is this needed?
The documentation current sample "world" database has just 3 tables, cities, countries and langs.
- Not the Intellectual Property of MySQL, so it can't be bundled with the software
- No table type diversity, not a lot of data type diversity
- No MySQL 5 features
- Not a lot of data
- Not really used in tutorials and articles because it's not robust enough
Basically, needed a sample database that was new, that allowed for many queries. Used an idea from a Dell Sample DB It's 2 stores, in 2 different countries.
Designing the Database
Designed with MySQL Query Browser
- Normalized
- Community provided feedback and content
- Trick was balance between simplicity and completeness
- Learning db, so people need to understand it
- After schema was approved, data was loaded
- Stored procedures, triggers, UDF's and VIEWS were used
The Sample database has 2 files in installation
- one for schema & routines (16 tables, 8 views)
- one for data
This allows you can just look at schema if you want. You can also support modified data sources, for example larger volumes or different languages.
Data is never deleted — it's marked as deleted, but not actually deleted, for data integrity reasons. Contains most (all?) data types, including SET and ENUM.
VIEWS used to simplify queries. ie, there's a table for actors and one for films, so actor_info contains a list of type of movie and name for each actor. So it would show a list of actors with a list of films that they've done — 1 row per actor, and a comma-separated list of films they've done (sorted by type). There are a lot of good views in there, which show that that's what you should do for popular queries (like "show me all the movies that are rented, by customer").
Stored Procedures
For common procedures — ie, is a film in stock?
Stored Functions
get_customer_balance — it does what you think it does.
There's one to sync 2 tables, for example.

The University of Texas walked away with the National Championship of the first American Bar Association National Arbitration Competition held November 18th-20th. UT team members Andrew Cook ('06), Portia Bettis Culver ('06), Casey Kaplan ('07), and Sarah Munson ('07) beat Stetson University in the championship round. The team was coached by UT adjunct professors John Fleming and Michael Golden ('01). Fleming is an Austin attorney and arbitrator and Golden is an associate with Vinson & Elkins.
The competition was hosted by William Mitchell School of Law in St. Paul Minnesota and sponsored by the American Bar Association and the National Arbitration Forum. Twenty teams from across the nation participated in the inaugural competition which was developed to provide law students with realistic arbitration hearing experience.

Free-Roam Classic
I played the first Just Cause and thought it was ok. Once I seen some gameplay of Just Cause 2 and played the demo. I said I was going to get it.
- Beautiful Graphics
- Actually Fun and enjoyable
- Gameplay is Fantastic
- Some excellent ideas executed perfectly
- A lot of things to do
- After beating the main story missions, most people have finished 30% of the game completion
- Fun and intense missions
- Horrible voice acting
- Pointless Story
- Terrible writing
The story may not be the best or for that matter at least average,but the game is fun. This is one of those rare games that you won't find in many games that has good old fashion fun. I can name off multiple games that are more frustrating then fun but that would just make this review that much longer. Bottom of the line is if you are looking for a story buy a different game, if you are wanting action-packed, non-stop fun, then this is the perfect game.

Websites that work for your business
"BRC websites are built to attract customers, create desire for your product or service, and to get them to buy from you!
The BRC Vision
"To create affordable websites that are attractive, informative, and present each company in its best light--to be, above all else, marketing pieces that bring prospects and buyers to the companies they represent."
We are redesigning our website to serve you better. Please come back later. Thank you.
Change Album
Websites that Work for your Business
BRC's professionally written web content presents your business in its best light!
Unlike too many web pages, our website pages contain the information customers need to act--whether that action is a phone call, a visit to your location, or an online purchase. People buy from people they like and trust. That is why we give your clients a sense of who you are, and what your business is about. There is so much more to know than when you were established and the brands you carry.
As each business is unique, so must every website be unique so that you may differentiate your business from your competitors. A BRC consultant will interview you (in person if you are in El Paso) to find out why clients find you are more attractive than other similar businesses. Do your technicians have more experience or more formal training? Do you carry many brands or do you specialize in the one brand that you feel is the best? Why do people love your customer service? ...your prices? ...your decor and physical environment?
Will your product make your clients feel happier, sexier, more confident, more productive, richer, a better parent, home owner, golfer, etc.? BRC Consultants can bring out the desire in your clients and get them to buy.
There are all kinds of reasons your clients prefer you. Our job is to find those reasons, and to analyze those benefits from your customers' point of view. Once the benefits are defined, our writer will put those ideas into words that will entice website visitors to become new customers.
Graphics and Photos
We love graphics and photos, too! But they are visual aids meant to enhance the process. Except for gallery or picture pages, photos can't take the place of written content. That is why we need labels to identify the fabric in a new shirt, and instructions on how to use a new tool or piece of electronics. Can you imagine a text book with no words? We need language to inform us.
A critical reason for written content is that search engines cannot interpret pictures. Web pages need written content as a nest to hold all of those keywords that people use to find you on the web. Keywords are specific words or phrases people use to find your business; and they need to be repeated more than once so the search engine (Google, Bing, Firefox, etc.) knows your website has the information your client needs. (Example: count how many times website,one of my keywords, is found on this page.)

So there is some ancient history from my ILs on here somewhere. Basically, I was a doormat and DH was a DUH. MIL was a PA bitch and I tried for over 10 years to make her like me. DH always said that's just the way she was and she's his mom so what was he supposed to do. His family claims to love you so so so much but talk shit behind your back and ignore you. Unless they are guilt tripping you to come visit them.
Classically, things got bad when I got pg and MIL went BSC when we laid down boundaries. DUH turned into a DH and ILs went on a TO. MIL was hospitalized and diagnosed as Bipolar and got therapy. After 9 months she sent us a decent apology and we have had a LC relationship since. We really dropped the rope and let them lead the contact. Which meant we rarely talked to them and saw them maybe twice a year.
When I got pg with DS my family were asses and went in a TO. ILs actually acted decent for the most part but still the LC.
They came to visit after Christmas to meet DS and it was ok. Very short visit and instead of spending time with the grandchildren she rarely sees MIL was obsessed with cleaning my kitchen. I told her to stop and go spend time with them b/c it was going to be a long time before she saw them again. (Not a threat, just reality). She went and took a 2 hour nap on my DDs bed instead. Very awkward.
So I was not very happy with them b/c DD is old enough to realize they just aren't into us and it upset her. So I told DH I needed a break. He didn't contact them at all just to see how long they would go. Over two months later he gets a random text from his mom. Then nothing. Not even for DD's 4th bday. DD asked about them and was upset she didn't get a card or a present. I was furious and after a thousand paper cuts I was done. I told DH that me and the kids would no longer have anything to do with his family.
Next day DH gets a text from his mom that says "didn't realize date, tell DD we love her and happy birthday."
DH didn't respond. A month later DH gets a text from his mom asking how we are doing. He doesn't respond and later that day gets another text that says "Im sorry, im

So there is some ancient history from my ILs on here somewhere. Basically, I was a doormat and DH was a DUH. MIL was a PA bitch and I tried for over 10 years to make her like me. DH always said that's just the way she was and she's his mom so what was he supposed to do. His family claims to love you so so so much but talk shit behind your back and ignore you. Unless they are guilt tripping you to come visit them.
DH still doesn't respond. A week later in a fit of stupidity posts a pic on FB that says something about how people don't like when you treat them the way they've been treating you. His mom comments that he isn't being very Christian. His aunt comments that it wasn't very nice of him. He deletes the comments and puts his family on restricted on FB.
Mothers Day FIL texts DH. He never has texted once in his life and interestingly enough has MILs grammar and typos. Hmm. It says "love y'all. Tell RTM happy Mother's Day. Give DS and DD a hug from us." He doesn't respond and does nothing for MIL on MD.
Thursday DH gets a text from MIL that says "we love y'all, we pray The Lord blesses y'all. Pray for us please." DH ignores. I also get a call from SIL (BILs wife) which I ignore.
Obviously they are trying their hardest to get DH to contact them so they can sweep it all under the rug. I'm sure MILs mental illness will be blamed again.
I'm over and will continue to insist on a TO for me and the kids. DH can do whatever he wants. He sees how their disinterest his whole life damaged his self esteem and he doesn't want our children to deal with it. But he struggles b/c when they are interested they are nice and it seems happy familyish. But it never lasts.
So I'm assuming with that last text we will have some kind of health emergency soon. DH's youngest brother is getting married in Oct and DH has already committed to being a groomsman. He is going by himself though b/c I refuse to play happy family and put on a show for the rest of the family. That ought to be interesting when they find out.
FB that says something about how people don't like when you treat them the way they've been treating you. His mom comments that he isn't being very Christian. His aunt comments that it wasn't very nice of him
Ehh, it's in the Bible.
Treat thy Neighbour as the Wants to be treated., Yehh, Not verbatem
What the pic said is fine.
Back to reading ^^ thats as far as I got
((( Warm HUGS)) The Mad HUGGER join us!
((((((((((((((Hugs You))))))))))))))
Yeh, a Leopard can't change it's spots. sorry Hun
((( Warm HUGS)) The Mad HUGGER join us!
DH's whole family is this weird mix of enmeshed when you are in their sight line. When you are out you don't matter until its time to put on a show for everyone else. Since DH hasn't lived in his hometown in 19 years he has been getting the short end of the stick for awhile.
It took years for me to figure it out and stop caring. He's still working on it. He did make progress though. He has to travel for continuing Ed conferences a couple of times a year. Usually it's to the big city close to his hometown. He always contacts his brothers or parents and tries to see them. He was there Friday and Saturday and didn't contact anyone.
(((Rocky Top Mama))) I know the pain of the ILs who are only interested if you are in their vicinity and the 'show'. I hate it so much. I think I have gotten to the point of not caring. My H is still working on it.
That example of your MIL not spending time with the kids and being obsessed with cleaning then laying down when you gave her the opportunity could be my story. In fact much of your 'early days' story could be mine as well. Seriously. I don't get it at all. My kids are getting old enough to notice too. I'm so sorry.
Keep on keeping on. I don't blame you for putting them back in TO.
I've accepted that even though I can't ever understand it. DH struggles b/c when they want a show they can talk the talk big time. All the loving and expected things to say. But 90% of the time they don't care and their actions reflect it.
Not surprisingly a huge problem in our marriage has been that words are nice but actions are what show your true feelings. Now that we have kids DH is understanding it much better.
I asked him if he was ok not responding and then finding out someone really was sick or hurt. He said he was and they can always send a text or leave a message if it really is something serious or life threatening. I reminded him that it took a month for him to find out about his grandfather dying. He said that if they kept him out of the loop that much then obviously they don't care enough for him to be a part of it.
I probably shouldn't have said anything but I don't want him to have any regrets when this eventually turns into a CO. That's the only place I see this eventually going.

Wendell Burton
|Wendell Burton
July 21, 1947
San Antonio, Texas
|Film, television actor
Wendell Burton (born July 21, 1947) is an American television executive and former motion picture actor and television actor, best known for his co-starring role with Liza Minnelli in the 1969 movie The Sterile Cuckoo.[1]
Burton was born in San Antonio, Texas, the son of an Air Force sergeant who died when he was five. He became involved in college theatricals while a student at Sonoma State College (later known as Sonoma State University). His acting career began when he won the title role in the San Francisco production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.
Burton was plucked from obscurity to star opposite Minnelli as Jerry Payne, the young college student with whom she falls in love in The Sterile Cuckoo.[1]
He later played an inmate who was raped in Fortune and Men's Eyes, and appeared in TV specials during the 1970s. He portrayed Osgood, a mild-mannered man who fights Burt Reynolds in a 1986 film, Heat.
In the late 1980s, he embraced Christianity, and associated with the Vineyard Christian Fellowship under Pastor Kenn Gullicksen in Los Angeles, and then in the 1990s he became a sales executive for The Family Channel, and later helped launch an independent TV station in Houston.
