Nick Saban has one eye on the national championship and the other on his alma mater. Alabama's coach is proud of the turnaround at Kent State, where second-year coach Darrell Hazell has led the Golden Flashes (8-1) to their first seven-game winning streak since 1940 and has them headed to a bowl game for the first time since 1972. Hazell spent seven years as an assistant on Jim Tressel's staff at Ohio State before taking over a Kent program that had just six winning seasons since 1974. The Golden Flashes lead the nation in turnover margin and they forced seven miscues in a recent signature win at then-No. 15 Rutgers. Hazell credits his players for buying into his run-heavy offensive system and he's thrilled to see how his team's success has energized the entire campus.

The mass of the bodies is irrelevant if non-zero.
This isn't correct. Mass is relevant to acceleration by gravity, otherwise you'd fall at the same rate on the Moon as on Earth.

- No operator overloading. As a result, every container type is accessed differently. Arrays use []. Lists use At(). Hashmaps use Get(). Matrices, vectors, and complex numbers are absurdly verbose, because I cannot overload addition and multiplication.
Arrays are rarely used in Java these days. All the collections API (Bloch's work on this has made it one of the few elegant parts of Java) use
- Type erasure for generics. As a result, I cannot define different function overloads for func(List) and func(List).
At least Java has generics. Unlike some other popular languages I could name... type erasure is a genuine annoyance but it's usually not too painful to work around.
- Lack of first class functions. As a result, callbacks required the absurdity of implementing the Callable interface. This has been improved recently with the addition of lambda statements.
Java is horribly verbose when you need to pass functions around but the new syntactic sugar makes functional programming a lot more viable. Even without it though you can stick to a strictly OO approach. This can make for clunky programming but does have the advantage of being boringly predictable in huge codebases being worked on by lots of coders of varying ability.
- Lack of properties. As a result, I cannot expose anything as public, because I might want to add additional code at some point in the future. Therefore, I must have an explosion of getters/setters.
It's not pretty, but this is a good excuse to make everything as immutable as possible and cut down on data access objects.
I like the idea of having a sandboxed virtual machine. I like the idea of having a single version of the bytecode that can run anywhere. I just can't stand the language.
Java isn't a lot of fun to code in most of the time but it's pretty effective at what it does.
Civilization has existed for ~12k years, human beings have not changed. Social interaction has not changed
12k years ago we were still in the paeleolithic. We don't have a lot of idea what social interaction was like back then but probably involved a certain amount of smacking each other with sticks and crudely chipped rocks.
In the intervening millennia social interaction has changed out of all recognition.
Your assertion that a chat on Facebook is not being sociable is pretty comical, and if you think it is so unacceptable why are you discussing the issue on slashdot? Surely slashdot is nothing but a geeky social media forum. Why don't you have this discussion with a friend over coffee?
I'll tell you why not: everyone likes social media, but it's just fashionable to tell everyone how superior you are for not caring about it.
Creator of many awesome computer games - Chaos, Rebelstar, X-Com.
Check out Chaos Reborn, his latest project.
Because moderation is supposed to be for highlighting posts that contribute to the discussion, not for whether we agree with or disagree with posts.
Also, this post you like by an anonymous coward is suggesting a war against Islam. There are more than 1.5 billion muslims in the world; presumably the poster wants them all shot?
Well, Iraq was pushed to collapse. That did not go so well.
What do you mean? The country was then conquered within months by us. Saddam Hussein himself was then captured, tried publicly, and executed deservingly.
There were over a million deaths by some estimates caused by the invasion. A million! Even if the estimates are off by half, that's an incredible number of people.
Iraq is still in chaos many years later. IS has taken over a lot of the country. The Middle East as a whole was destabilised and has yet to recover.
I'd hate to know what your definition of a catastrophe is.
I wasn't commenting on the motives of the western countries, nor whether atrocities have been carried out by the rebels (it appears they have, though not on the scale that Assad has). I was replying to the OP who seemed to think the reporting in Syria was all propaganda. The coverage in the media seems to have been reasonably balanced, reporting the abuses of both sides. There has not been the dramatic attempts to control the media by e.g. the US and UK governments that we saw in the Iraq war.
I've been to Syria recently -- well in the last couple of years, after the start of the revolution. I experienced first hand the extreme corruption, the ever-present secret police, and the aura of fear and intimidation.
Just because some of the information coming out of the country is untrue (how could you not expect some of it to be?) doesn't mean the current state of Syria is propaganda. Most of the reporting is true; the alternative is that every major news organisation, charity and most governments (bar Russia and Iran) are part of some vast conspiracy.
Yes, but the point is, a pig is not one of the top intellectual hitters by any measure. It's reasonably smart but it doesn't get close to, say, an orang. Claiming it is the third smartest species after humans is just plain wrong.
The mirror test is just one test of animal intelligence amongst many.
But it's probably the most important.
Different animals have different strengths in their intelligence, as one would expect - the intellect of each has evolved for different environments.
This is why I said the order is up for debate.
Sorry. Different intelligence tests are correlated so being good at one tends to make you good at another. Humans are unambiguously the smartest and can outwit any other species at practically anything. Chimps/bonobos are next. Although you can quibble about where a particular species is placed, there's certain generalities you can assert.
My list is commonly accepted, but by no means absolute.
No serious researcher in animal intelligence that I know of puts pigs in the top four most intelligent species. Feel free to provide a reference.
Why is thinking a necessary criterion for suffering?
Consciousness is a necessary requirement for suffering. If an entity can't experience something then it can't suffer from that experience. We can demonstrate this because consciousness is easily disrupted in humans by relatively simple chemicals. Anaesthetised humans do not suffer, even during what would otherwise be traumatic experiences such as medical operations.
But the top 3 animals for intelligence after man are the dolphin, the chimp and the pig
Well this isn't true. There's a few species that pass the mirror test, which is about the highest non-subjective test for intelligence in other species we have. Pigs don't pass the mirror test.
So I'd rank humans, the other great apes (chimps/bonobos, orangs, gorillas), dolphins, orcas and elephants ahead of pigs, and probably other animals too.
If pigs did pass the mirror test I wouldn't eat them (actually I tend to avoid eating pigs anyway because we tend to keep them in such terrible conditions).
Agreeing with the poster but pointing out that "proof" is very difficult to come by is "hand-waving"? Sorry, you'll have to explain your thinking on that one.
It seems that Assad has indeed been using chemical weapons over the past year, and without any comeback.
1. There is no proof regime used chemical weapons.
No. But "proof" that will satisfy everyone is very hard to come by.
2. Why would regime use chemical weapons ? They're "winning" already..
I think you've answered your own question there with your use of quotes. The regime are looking at the thin end of a potentially multi-decade civil war. There's no prospect of a decisive victory in the forseeable future.
3. Why would regime use chemical weapons ? The rulling party there is NOT stupid, whatever you may think of them. You think they wouldn't know it would come to this (worldwide condemnation) ?
The regime has been torturing kids to death for years with little comeback. It has already achieved worldwide condemnation. The Assad family doesn't care. The only risk to them is military intervention by a superior power but after 100k+ deaths and years of atrocities they don't believe anyone will intervene.
They were quite good friends of many Western countries until quite recently. The US used to give them prisoners to "interrogate". Even after years of brutal repression with much video evidence there are plenty of people on the internet who believe Assad and friends are the good guys.
4. The ruling party have majority of peoples votes. Why would they undermine that ?
Elections in Syria are meaningless charades, of minor use to the regime as a rubber-stamp only.
5. Why would they allow UN to come inspect the site then shoot at them ?
It doesn't seem to be in either the rebel's or the regime's interests to shoot at the UN. It seems likely that this was an error by one group or another.
It seems entirely plausible and in character for the regime to use chemical weapons. They have the stocks and a history of being willing to use extreme brutality.
The idea that the rebels have launched the attack in an attempt to blame the regime is somewhat plausible. They are desperate enough and some of their elements seem to be capable of acts of harshness approaching that of the regime. However the attacks were in rebel-held areas and there is no evidence of the rebels gaining any chemical weapons.
I think it's rather more likely that the regime made the attacks based on past history and circumstantial evidence, but we don't have very much in the way of proof either way.
It is not proven that Gnome3's or Unity's approach is perfect yet.
To say the least. But I've tried both for a few weeks each and they definitely make me less productive than Gnome 2.
However, the problems of the taskbar/windowlist is, that they are grouped by no order at all. Minimizing a window leaves no trail where to find it again, except the 0.3 second animation with shrinkboxes or some compiz effect. Users might remember that for some time, but not much.
You can see at a glance which windows are open by their icon (which admittedly only shows the program, not document), title, and you have a good cue of which window is which from its position (rightmost is most recently opened). There may be a better solution but this is excellent in minimising number of clicks (everything is one click away) and quite good on impact on short-term memory (not much demand to remember which windows are open).
Gnome 3's approach: When there is no way to minimize a window, it keeps its position. Keeping positions of objects is a powerful cognitive concept that Windows and KDE seem to have completely dismissed.
This pretty much fails when you have overlapping windows. It doesn't help that a window keeps its position if I can't see it. I find it's also useful to minimise a window to reduce visual distraction. I find in Gnome 3 I waste lots of effort manually shuffling my windows around so I can either hide them or so they're slightly overlapping so I can click on them without putting my cursor into the corner. Surely the opposite to what was intended.
And after pressing the funky key, users can see all the windows, not-overlapping, from a bird's-eye view and select much larger surfaces to access them. That is actually much more "efficient" that scanning a list of minimized windows
It's less efficient in the sense you have to click somewhere or press a key or move your mouse to see the windows. Changing mode to change windows and having all those windows flying around I find is more distraction to my workflow. Maybe our brains work differently? I'd be happy to have both options however as sometimes an expose-style window map is useful if you've "lost" a window.
Another good idea in Gnome3 is creating virtual desktops semantically instead of having a fixed number of them.
I think this is potentially a good idea that needs more polish. In Gnome 2 I can click on the desktop I want with one click from the taskbar but in Gnome Shell I need to go into the separate mode.
I think a lot more can be done with virtual desktops. It would be nice for example to have one project per desktop and then to be able to save that desktop (open programs, views, files) as a project, close it, and be able to reopen it at a later date, link it to a to-do list, etc.
Not directed against you, MrNiCeGUi: many people claiming to be "power users" and needing a lot of config options, are in fact wasting time and are just feeling to be productive by staring at pointless data diagrams or actually designing their own UI by moving stuff around, very likely making it measurably less efficient.
I agree to the extent that you can make something too configurable. Too many options make it hard to find what you want to change, make things too easy to break, too hard to test. However, you can also make things not configurable enough. People's brains work differently so like to work in a different way, people have different hardware and software setups (e.g. number of displays), and work on vastly different projects. I think Gnome 3 shell and Unity have gone significantly into the "too little configurability" camp. Gnome 2 was a very good balance by contrast.

What a blast. It's conveniently located and a quick walk from the boardwalk. The place is well kept up and clean. It's tiny, but isn't that why they call it miniature golf?
18 holes in a small space, and can get crowded - especially at night. However, we played mid-afternoon during the week and were only 2 others on course. Fun diversion.
Eight of us went to play miniature golf and we found it to be tiny! Each hole is nice enough, but there is noplace to hang out to watch or wait for the next hole if it's not free yet. The up side is that it's right in Bethany Beach so you can walk to it after getting ice cream...
We have been staying in Bethany long enough to recall when Captain Jack's was being built and were so excited to have a mini golf course right in the downtown area. This is a fun but not too tough course for kids and this year the owners installed misting fans throughout the first part of the course, which can be...
Gets a bit crowded at times but kids had fun! its a little tricky to find! close to shopping and eateries!
Hit the course before the sun got hot. Beat by the ladies but had fun. Not crowded at this time (opens at 9).
we had a great time. Very unique setup. Its small but fun. Some really cool holes -but my daughter kept moving her ball around.
This is a poor choice for the kids to play golf .it is the only place in Town but I would drive to OC or fenwick for better choices and more activites I t is squeezed into a small lot and doesn't even look right for the site . Lots of people play it because it the only game in...
The other reviewer that said Captain Jack puts the Miniature back in Miniature Golf hit it on the head. The course was fine, nothing over the top. The only complaint was if either party in front of you or your party was slow on a hole then you had no place to stand between holes. It was a busy night,...
This is without a doubt the smallest miniature golf venue I have ever played. It has a cute theme, but the size makes it just about impossible to handle the inevitable crowds. Definitely better for families with small children, rather than teens.

My pony picture thread http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread82786.html
Glad I'm not the only one OP! Even though I've got a full cage setup with safety bars I still have to get over that fear/trepidation and into that mental sweet spot. Interestingly it took me sometime to get it back. I used to dead 220kg years ago and have been working my way back up. When I hit 185kg it took me about 4 weeks to be able to hit the sweet spot and stay there long enough to make the lift. Mr. Anthony describes it perfectly, I feel the same way as I prowl around the bar trying to force that moment to hit my brain, when I know my whole body is ready to fire and my mind too. It's much harder for me now though because I workout alone. When I used to lift it was at a gym and my mate was lifting 220kg as well. I didn't realise the value of him standing there and stopping my procrastination with a well timed, "Lets do this! Heels and hips! Drive! Drive! Drive!" Now all I get is the music in the background to fire me up. It's a whole different ball game!
I find, after the first squat, that it's usually not as bad as I thought it was going to be. This opinion might change as I do more of them, but as long as I at least try the first, the fear is not too bad. I've gotten to where I can tell myself to at least try one rep, that's all you have to do. That seems to take the edge off for me. But I don't lift nearly as much as you. I'm stuck right now at 145 and I'm also 5'3" and female. Who knows if this will still work when I get to where you are, IF I get to where you are.
Female, 5'3", 50, Starting weight: 163lbs. Current weight: 135 (more or less).
I can squat 192.5lbs, press 75lbs and deadlift 210lbs

SARASOTA, Fla. — Since Manny Machado's freak knee injury occurred last September under one of the most routine circumstances — his left knee buckled when his foot landed awkwardly as he rounded first base —the 21-year-old couldn't help but think about his return to running down the first-base line throughout his rehab.
"It's been crossing my mind running the bases just constantly," Machado said. "Obviously, that's the way the injury happened, so that is in my head. That's the only thing I remember from the injury. I don't remember the rehab. I really don't care about that. That's the only thing that's on my mind, how I injured that knee. So I want to get past that as fast as possible because that's the only thing that's going to keep me from being out there and playing games."
Machado began running through first base and landing on the bag last week. Base running is one of the final drills Machado has to perform before he can be fully cleared and return to games.

Right now, Machado still expects to see Dr. Neal ElAttrache on March 18 to get clearance to return to full competition. There was some thought to seeing ElAttrache on Tuesday, his next available day, but Machado said he won't be ready by then and doesn't want to rush it.
"I've got the strength there and I've done what I need to do to fix the way I run and fix the proper way to do things," Machado said. "I've gotten stronger in the places that need to be stronger for the injury not to happen again. I feel pretty good touching the bases. Definitely it wasn't running at 100 percent. That's just a process. "
Machado said he's running the bases at around 70 to 80 percent effort.
"I know I'll get up there," he said. "I don't think I'll be running the bases 100 percent for another week or so. Right now, I'm basically just cruising down the line. I feel fine running, and I feel fine doing everything else. I think right now I really don't want to run the bases 100 percent. I want to be smart about it, not go out there full go running down the bases. I ran to get a feel for stepping on the base again and again, feeling for how that is."
Offense continues to lead
The Orioles' power-packed lineup has gotten a lot of attention over the past couple seasons, and it looks like the hitters aren't ready to surrender the stage to the upgraded pitching staff.
In two games against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday and Sunday's 9-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Ed Smith Stadium, the Orioles combined for 29 runs and 42 hits to sweep the weekend.
The Orioles also routed the Philadelphia Phillies, 15-4, on Friday after beating the Minnesota Twins, 11-5, on Wednesday.
Orioles first baseman Chris Davis remained hot in the win over the Pirates. He was 3-for-3 with an opposite-field home run that cleared everything in left-center field. Shortstop J.J. Hardy also homered, while right fielder Nick Markakis and second baseman Jonathan Schoop stayed on a Grapefruit League roll with two hits apiece.
Davis, Markakis and Schoop combined to go 7-for-9 over the first five innings Sunday and are batting a combined .565 in exhibition play.
"I have not read a stat sheet this spring and I won't," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "I trust the people who are responsible for the pitching and the hitting and the defense, and I trust my eyes, and not some spring training stat. I think there's more in the tank. I'm OK with them playing real well."
Orioles make three cuts
The Orioles made three cuts on Sunday, reassigning first baseman Chris Marrero, right-hander Mike Wright and right-hander Fabio Castillo to minor league camp.
Marrero, who played parts of two seasons with the Washington Nationals in 2011 and 2013, was sidelined early in camp with an oblique injury he suffered while swinging. He has tested the injury multiple times since then without much improvement.
"It's frustrating for us, and I know him, too, because he was a guy we targeted in the offseason," Showalter said. "Every day, I can see he's wanting to go out and test it and test it, but that's not what you do with those things."
Showalter said he wanted Marrero to concentrate on getting healthy instead of competing for a roster spot. And when he does, Showalter said he will bring him back to play in a major league spring training game.
Showalter said Wright, who allowed one run in three innings in spring training, will go to minor league camp to get stretched out to pitch in the Triple-A Norfolk rotation.

Cast: Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Sameer Dattani
Director: Punit Malhotra
I Hate Luv Storys – Fully Fun-tastic!
What is love? I Corinthians chapter 13 of the Bible gives a brief definition. William Shakespeare tried to decrypt it with his various poems and plays. And our Bollywood film makers are forever trying to explain it!
But I'll tell you what. Love is one helluva thing that we can never fully get right about. And certainly watching this movie isn't going to enlighten you any more on this topic. Nor is it going to miraculously convert an 'unbeliever- in- love' to a 'super-mushy softie'. Nope! No can Do!!
In, I Hate Luv Storys, we have J (Imran Khan) (which seems to be the 'it' name in Bollywood these days. Remember Hrithik Roshan in Kites?) who doesn't believe in love. We have Simran (Sonam Kapoor) who does. And why wouldn't she for she has her perfect love story to corroborate her beliefs. Yupp! She is engaged to her childhood sweetheart Raj (Sameer Dattani). They are so compatible, they even dress up in colours that match!
J is as messed a man can be. A perfect contradiction to perfect Simran. He's always late for work. He's a boozard. AND - he trashes women once he's bedded them. Nope! Commitment is not this fella's cup of coffee.
However bad boy J pushes Simran to give a thought for guilty pleasure. She falls head over heels for him- the ultimate romantic that she is! However, as she does this she tips over her aptly perched life. But does she rebuild her life from scratch or does it just come crashing down is something you all have to watch out for.
The whole movie is full of cliches, straight and indirect lifts from the better Bollywood fare and very stupid or illogical scenes that make you go – how bizarre!
You'll only get to wonder what sense the film made, after the screening gets over because the whole time the movie is on…there's so much fun, half the time you're laughing, half the time, well you're smirking! With the very contemporary dialogues and fresh –in-your-face- sarcasm, the film's comedy is pure pleasure. Period.
The music is not breathtaking but catchy and fun! There are a lot of adult jokes cracked so no taking your kids for over-sensitive parents.
The girl getting the very trashy guy to clean up his act is something that touches a chord. What about the girl? Well, she finally learns to let go and have fun in her life. Also, she learns that 'perfect' does not mean 'happy'. So true. About time we accept flaws in us and our loved ones.
Sonam Kapoor is lissome and sweet. She gets to play her age, which works so wonderfully for her! Her strength is in her fragile features, which she uses excellently to express her emotions. Imran Khan is just adorable! Some may call him plastic but it just seems he is not into hyper-histrionics. He has his own unique, light style and it's charming!
Sameer Dattani is forgettable. Sameer Soni is funny as the whacky director. Bruna Abdulla sizzles. Ketki Dave is a class act. Kavin Dave is super-cool as Imran's super-sized pal. Aamir Ali is well-tuned. Avantika Malik's blink and you miss cameo is sweet. Anju Mahendru's cameo is sharp.
Let me get this straight- of you're looking for logic in love you'll never find it. This film so totally symbolifies love. 'Cause there's no logic in the film either! Ha ha. But just like love, if this film clicks with you, you'll end up with a warm, fuzzy feeling … you will smile, laugh and glow with glee!

Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor is very pretty..
hmmmm...wts wrong with directors these dys
i was a bit dissapionted to be honest.
This is what happens when Bollywood tries to go Hollywood....it turns up all glamor no substance instead...
Puhllleeeaaassseee directors we want ur originality....don't try to wear boots bigger than urs...
It's a little clich but that's with a lot of romantic comedies. Its was nice to see Sonam Kapoor and Imran Khan working together. They both preformed well and looked cute together. The movies doing pretty well in the UK as its top 5 at the moment.
Good work both of you it was decent enough TP (Time Pass) ?

Brief morning update: Wednesday, July 16.
Well, this marks the one-week "anniversary" of my trip. Hope things go well today.
Oops! Forgot the pic of dinner last night...needless to say, I ate too much!
This was right up there with "DWalt" (see my "Civil War" RR)...
Morning at "oldgezzer's" place is simply amazing!
I still feel like I've died and gone to heaven...check out the mist rising from the lake:
This has gotta be God's country...
Our campfire from last night felt pretty good this "chilly" morning...sorry for the overexposed shot.
That fire still feels pretty good.
Yay! More breakfast eaters...
Here's pic of Ann doing her thing for breakfast...
I know this is gonna be good...
And good it was...BTW, that's
maple syrup in the background. Once again, I feel like I'd died and gone to...well, you know. That whole "died" analogy is prolly not the best one to use for a motorcycle rider...
Man, is this a breakfast or what?
Attitude adjustment time...
OK, fellas (and any ladies who might be following), I
feel a heckuva lot better after a good night's sleep...and that incredible breakfast. Inmate "oldgezzer" and his
are (as usual) beyond belief as hosts. I am
lucky. Or blessed. Whatever.
Dunno where the day will lead me (I guess that's a good thing), but I think I'll not be staying with any inmates tonight...too far to go. And I expect to arrive in Vermont on Saturday (or Sunday), rather than Friday when my reservation begins. No big deal.

Mark Cuban, Charlie Sheen talking about a new show. What could go wrong?
Mar 7, 2011, 11:25 AM EDT
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has his own television channel, HDNet. Which is cool, I want one. But having a television channel without a hit show is like having an iPhone without apps.
As you read this, HDNet is showing some old Cheers reruns (the one where Diane's cat dies) followed by a Third Eye Blind concert and later on some MMA fights, then a JAG rerun. So, that's why you're not watching it.
Charlie Sheen? You can't help but watch that train wreck.
So Cuban and Sheen are in talks about a new show for HDNet, Mike Fisher at Dallasbasketball.com reports, via RadarOnline.
Sheen was making $1.2 million an episode for CBS's hit Two-and-a-Half Men, until Sheen went off the rails and CBS pulled the plug on production. Sheen has said he's not worried, that things will work out, probably because he has tiger blood.
Cuban may not pay that sum, but his network could use a hit and he will pay to get it. And people will tune in to see Sheen right now, just for the freak show factor. Now we just need a show title. "Two-and-a-Half 8 balls" would be my suggestion, but Cuban may want to go another direction.

absolutely NOTHING could go wrong from this.This would be classic entertainment at its finest…btw Cheers and Third Eye Blind both kick ass if i could afford cable id def watch it!

Call the show "Watch an Idiot Ruin His Career Before Finally ODing".

His career is far from over my friend. Arrogant statements like this are… well, they're ignorant. The irony of having arrogant and ignorant in the same scentence!

Although you may find it hard to pronounce, quinoa (keen-wa) is not hard to prepare or enjoy! This grain has a uniquely nutty flavour that is great as a side dish or a perfect addition to your main dishes. In addition to being delicious, quinoa contains lots of minerals, vitamins and proteins.
Cooking Directions: Simmer 1 1/2 parts of water for 1 part of quinoa. Let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Suggestions: Substitute quinoa for rice, and add spices.
This product may contain traces of nuts, soy beans, sesame seeds or wheat.
Great product, packed with nutrition and flavour. I have been eating quinoa for about 10 yrs. now and this is the best quinoa I have tried. I have some every morning with cinnamon, bananas and honey. The price is good too.
Tastes great and I didn't even rinse it beforehand, the best price I have found anywhere for quinoa. Plus it's organic!
The product is great quality and great pricing. I thoroughly enjoyed this product.
My "go to" Quinoa. I have tried other brands but find this one is the best and at a great price. Bonus to have it come in the mail:)
Lived up to everything I expected of this quality product. I was glad that I had read a previous article to rinse Quinoa before using, as I had been told that "sometimes" there was a slightly bitter taste to the cooked product. Did not happen, the Quinoa was perfect. Great price.
As I live where it is almost impossible to get any kind of Quinoa product except from a health food store which is usually much more expensive, all I can say is Yay for Well.ca!!
Very good quinoa. Love the convenience of having it come by mail. Reasonably priced compared to the store I usually by from. Thanks!
Excellent product! Much cheaper then at the grocery store in my area for this amount. Will continue to order from well.ca
Although I washed it thoroughly before cooking, quite a few small rocks/sand were mixed with 'Inari Organic Quinoa'.
It was delicious and I love that I can have quinoa at a decent price by purchasing it online. It's way too expensive to buy locally since we live in an isolated area.
As I said before, this is very nice, clean quinoa. I am glad to be able to order it from well.ca, to receive it in the mail within days and not have to figure out how to get to a physical store to buy it. I do not have a car, and cannot reach the nearest place that sells quinoa without one. Great service, and fair prices too.

The Quinoa is delicious. Much bigger bag and less expensive than grocery store and it's organic as well! Very pleased!
I love this product....:)...very easy to prepare and direction is on package :) loves it
We eat this often, It is very good for you and it tastes delicious too. We use instead of rice or make a greak salade with it. Really yummy!
I love this product will be ordering it again soon, anyone who was thinking of trying this it was great and is also very good for you.
You must try quinoa if you haven't already tried it!! It tastes amazing and is great for you!! Try it cold as a salad. Excellent!!
Delicious, nutritious, and easy to prepare! I got my first taste of quinoa from an expensive little box at my local grocery store. It's a very versatile food and once I had a taste of it I knew I needed a bigger package to have on hand. I have been eating a vegan diet since the start of this year and this is a great addition to my pantry! Great source of protein and high in iron.

On the Monday evening episode of NFL Total Access, veteran linebacker James Harrison predictably hinted that he'd like to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2014, but at nearly 36 years of age, you have to wonder if his former team reciprocates that feeling.
The Steelers are void of any depth at the outside linebacker position now that LaMarr Woodley has been jettisoned. Currently, the inexperienced and underwhelming Chris Carter is the primary backup to Jason Worilds and Jarvis Jones and the free agent market looks very unappealing as well.
While the Cincinnati Bengals defense certainly wasn't a fit for Harrison last season, the former undrafted free agent looked like a shell of his former self just the same. There's a reason why he only played just over 400 snaps last season including the playoffs. Do you really think he can play much more than that in 2014 with the Steelers?
If for some reason the Steelers do decide that they want Harrison back, the most they can give him is a one-year qualifying contract for the minimum and that means a base salary of $955,000 with a signing bonus no greater than $65,000. That kind of contract would carry with it a $635,000 cap charge.
Even if Harrison were to be brought back, how would he be used? Would you start him at right outside linebacker to start the season in place of Jones and run him until his wheels come off? Would you really only use him as a situational pass rusher and move Jones inside on obvious passing downs?
Keep in mind that Harrison's not going to play special teams and his body is ticking time bomb. Sure, the Steelers can use his experience, but it's his experienced body they can do without. Unfortunately for him, I think it's time for him to hang them up.
Ticking time bomb maybe, but I doubt he's in bad shape, he's still more imposing than Jarvis Jones, and I think he missed more time with a broken face than with any training or conditioning-related soft tissue injury. Bring him back and let him retire in Black and Gold.
It all sounds good on the surface, but when you factor in taxes, agent's fees and what he pays people to keep his body working, he'd probably be playing for a loss. He'd also have to play special teams. Will or can he do that at this point?
He is better than Jarvis Jones all day long
Steelers lack depth in so many areas, and the OLB position is one of them. Because of that signing him is a realistic option when you consider Chris Carter is the backup, and he shouldn't even be on an NFL team. He's horrible! Jarvis Jones is teetering on bust status. Take what you can get.
Nearly 36 years of age or not he has to be better than Chris Carter!
While I think that is stretching it a little, your point stile holds. The income he has left would be fairly negligible for a guy that has already made tens of millions. Plus, I still think his pride would make it difficult to accept the minimum.
I wouldn't mind if the Steelers made this offer. It would be worth it to use him as a rotational guy with Jones, plus that would give them depth in case of an injury on the other side. But I don't see them offering more than the minimum, and I don't see James accepting that.
Oops, this was meant as a reply to Stoney. This is why I should do this in my phone.
I would not bring Harrison back at all. We need to move on.
Bust status? Really, after 1 season? Using this reasoning Heyward should have been cut long ago. Granted his rookie year wasn't amazing but he showed some flashes let's give him a chance.
So….you are comparing a DMVP to a rookie?
Remember people calling Troy….Troy Bustamalu after one season. He turned out to be decent.
This is a no brainer. Give him 200-250 snaps this year.
He may be getting old, but he takes care of himself and others. His career didn't start until his late twenties, so there is some tread left.
Plus I get to wear my jersey again.
Jarvis will have 6 to 8 sacks next year. He has talent just needs some time.
Last year, didn't he claim to pay his people something like 700K to keep him going? It was some huge amount. I'm going by memory so I could be wrong on the number.
I found it. It's 4-600K a year.
We've brought in a lot of players after they played elsewhere for a year and didn't have success. Will Allen, Larry Foote, etc. Deebo will be a success in our system.
Yeah, Troy's ok I guess. An I don't recall Harrison making a big splash his rookie year and he ended up ok as well. Maybe Jarvis can follow in their bust footsteps to be DPOY as well.
Dont forget the stellar rookie seasons of Worilds and Timmons. It is amazing how little patience some people have.
Both sides put aside egos. Make it happen. Let LeBeau decide who starts and where based upon performance. You want to motivate your linebacking corps? Put it to competition.
We live in an instant gratification society. We don't want to wait. In the eighties and early nineties, most thigns we bought came unembarrassed. Today, everything we buy comes assembled with batteries.
I said teetering. He could turn out to be just fine, but 1 sack with as many snaps as he took on a defense that prides itself on getting to the quarterback especially from the ROLB position was not good. I was never a fan of drafting a ROLB that runs a 4.9 anyways so I'm a bit biased. My point is that Deebo would be a welcome addition to a position that is very very thin.
absolutely bring him back so long as he understands that he's not the de-facto starter and the money is in-line with that role.
Yep, James was released 3 times before finally making as a special teams player. The following year he got to play
In that case. I really hope jarvis jones is a bust like these guys.
Put some muscle on him and he'll be a stud in a couple years
It's a little unfair to talk about a min offer and if he should be starting.
The issue in my mind is if he helps more than Carter and I think he would. We might loose on special teams but That can be made up somewhere else.
I must admit that I am kind of torn about this idea. I was very disappointed to see Harrison leave last year, I thought he could still play at a high level. I never saw him as a good fit in the Bengals system, so I am not sure that his "stats" accrued last year are a true reflection of his current abilities. While I would not be so hasty to classify Jarvis as a bust after one season, I would say that he has yet to prove that he can play high caliber NFL football.
Yet part of me thinks that his best days are far behind him and that a younger player with potential would be a better choice to hold the roster spot.
To Deebo he can give us one year of depth, experience and use him as a situational pass rusher with limited snaps he should hold up. I think it's a great idea.
James at 36 or James for career…I think the two are very different. JJ was underwhelming last year but no way Harrison would beat him out in a camp battle THIS year. As for signing him…they should keep that chance on the table. Worlds, jones, carter? That's what we got? We will need contributing depth at OLB. Even if it's only 200 snaps.
Troy Harrison a.b…..the list goes on, and that's just guys that play in the burgh. What a comment!?
Jarvis Jones is a decent linebacker, one of worst pass-rushing specialist in NFL though and that is why I want Deebo back. Jones have no business starting as a pass-rusher with that 4.9 forty yards dash along with weak body. He's much of a bad fit as Ziggy Hood is AND at least Hood have athleticism to flashes from time to time! I already called Jones a bust even before he got drafted, before his athleticism numbers were displayed, watching the Georgia vs Alabama in the SEC Champion, it was obviously the Alabama offense didn't gave him attention like they did with Ogletree, in matter of fact they DIDN'T mind him pass-rushing! He was a benefactor of the defense talents Georgia had (they had what, 6 or 7 NFL talents by the time?)
This is coming from the guy who didn't called Polamalu a bust… Hood, Sweed, and others neither- I always try to give players benefit of doubts first but Jarvis Jones is an entirely different story- he's Carlos Emmons 2.0 whom the defensive coordinator were in love with because he is a tackling machine with high IQ but when it come to pas-rushing, he's literally nobody. I never questioned Kevin Colbert's decisions in past; at least they were logic but Jones? Man, I still an pissed about the pick, I was the only guy who left the draft party I hosted.
Point being? Sign Deebo, let him be a pass-rushing specialist because as a pass-rusher, he's still got it but don't get him to do much more; use Jones for that. Jones belong to inside his production will be showed more. Draft/develop a pass-rusher in the draft! We need one more pass-rushing specialist.
By looking at Cotchery's situation right now, you just don't gamble and think you can wait it out for price to go lower. You just don't gamble, especially if you are in a win-now mode.
I'm fine with bringing him back if the linebacker coach wants Harrison back. He might be down to a situational rusher at this point, but he could provide a valuable backup for a year or two if he's still got the speed and strength to play close to his old level. Seeing as Chris Carter is probably done soon James Harrison could make a valuable contribution just helping the next young linebackers develop seeing as the Steelers will probably take another pass rushing DE/OLB this draft.
That…remains to be seen. He hasn't shown it yet and had plenty of opportunity. He had more snaps last year than most rookie LB's do in two!
Seems pretty sticky to bring him back. He was cut for a reason, and money was only part of it. I'll always love Harrison as a Steeler, but I don't want him starting. Sure, I'd rather have him step in if Worilds or Jones goes down, but is that enough of a reason to bring him back? I can't imagine the team won't address LB in the draft.
What does it say to Jason and Jarvis…presumably your future at the position…to bring back a vet?
I would agree with that and like I said Jones certainly didn't have an amazing rookie year, far from it. A full sophomore season with similar numbers would alarm me a lot more. I'm not opposed to bringing 92 back in a limited role for the right salary if his ego will allow it.
This reminds of when Willie Parker pulled the same thing. Of course James Harrison can probably still contribute and provide valuable depth though. Fast Willie was done. If you can get Harrison to play special teams I would take him back in a heartbeat, he was a beast.
It would be a waste of a roster spot but honestly what other choice do we have at this point? We have 2 starting OLB who are question marks for one reason or another, and a bunch of nothing behind that. I mean Harrison is just a warm body at this point but at least he knows the defense.
He would be a one year fix. That solves nothing and he can't play special teams, next.
I look at our situation more than Harrison's at this moment. We have really only 2 OLB's and in need of a vet who can step in and play a few snaps. Harrison can fit this bill and meanwhile you have a rookie get some valuable exp. I do not know if we have much choice
Man.. The young lb's learning from James Harrison and porter and the master of defensive coordinators …..WOW !!!! Awesome
a fix that solves nothing?
Got to agree with Patrick here. If you believe he's a one year fix and we get him cheap, that's a good thing. We have so many needs that being able to fix one of them for a year would be mighty handy.
It solves nothing in the long run, sorry should have been more specific.
the more I think about it I don't see him as a fix, we have porter to teach jones how to play.
Great point. Forgot what he did on ST.
To these day, I've still never seen anyone play special teams as violently as James Harrison. I still have the image of him crushing Ed Reed firmly ingrained in my memory.
I honestly don't see the trouble in brining him in for depth at the minimum. losing one roster spot on special teams shouldn't hurt too bad.
yeah keep one sack jarvis jones with noone to back him up , Even one offseason is not enough time for him to get as big as deebo. or as angry.
It will also be good for the o-line to go against a big LB in practice.
Harrison might play with a chip on his shoulder knowing half the fans think he is washed up.
James would be useful as a situational player. He may only have x number of snaps in him per game and that is fine. Rotations would keep all the guys fresher and what he has lost in youth he makes up for in experience. I believe the last year he was here and coming off an injury he had more sacks than 3 of our other linebackers combined. He also may have the inside power to play run stuffer in a pinch, should injury arise. Harrison is an excellent tackler and was not used as an outside 3-4 linebacker in cincy but as a 4-3 linebacker very different roles between the two. If someone comes along that we could sign that is markedly better that is fine but I do not think they are out there at a price we can afford. James also knows what he is supposed to do in our scheme and that would be a huge advantage over the prospects from other teams.
James also does something few of our defensive players now do, he scares opponents. Many guys coming over the middle will develop alligator arms or have the concentration devoted to Harrison instead of securing the ball.
He may not have an entire season left in him but what he has may be an upgrade over what we had last year.
Might not be Colbert who is wild about the guy. There are lots of other people in the room as well and with the input that goes into the choices it is hard to tell who is at fault. We have had a lot more bad drafts lately than previously so I would not be tossing it on Colbert's shoulders. One of the Rooneys for example did the scouting on fast Willie Parker. There are lots of cooks in that kitchen and they all stir the pot.
It says last year you were not ready. It also says this year we will have help while you are getting ready and improving your craft.
James is an accident waiting to happen. After 2 back sugerys, would take one good hit and he can bring it but at 36 he needs to hang it up.
Id rather him come in a spell either Jones or Worilds instead of Carter!
With backup reps, im sure he can make an impact coming off the bench fresh while everyone else is playing the whole game. He will also add a bit of that anger and intimidation while he's out there. Carter will only give you a missmatch for the offense to exploit..
Vet minimum for one year, and draft an OLB in round 4 or 5 to battle Carter for depth going forward…
I get what you are saying but who make the call? Colbert. Anytime there are a bad pick, it won't be on those "few scouts" with bad reports. It'll be on Colbert, its his accountability.
Colbert may not be able to scout every single player out there and will hve to trust his team on that. But a GM has to know his first round pick thoroughly. Colbert most definitely did his own individual scouting of Jarvis JOnes at some point before the draft and so far Jones is looking like their worst first round pick in terms of value in a long time. What I need to question are those national TV based scouts that sold us a bill of goods on this guy and we were told that if he didn't have a spinal condition, he would be taken top 5.Really? Even if he may end up showing that he is worthy of first round status(I really hope he does), I definitely do not see anything in this guy that is remotely top 5 NFL draft talent.
Are you counting on the opposing QB or RB falling on his own feet 6or 8 times next year?
Who says a starter should not play STs? Let Jarvis play STs and James can spell him in regular D snaps.
Your #3 OLB isn't a coach – he's a player and he's going to play at some point. If injuries strike he might start all season. Right now you have a problem in the depth. Right now the best you have is Carter or move Timmons again.
Harrison would fix that better than any player the team can afford. No one thinks he's a long term fix and I think you'll see a OLB in the draft on day 3 who will hopefully make you comfortable in the depth a little so you won't need to lean on Harrison next year.
it could be Tomlin or one of the Rooneys or a consensus among coaches. Just because someone has a title in a small organization like a football team does not mean they have absolute authority associated with it.
The FO and Rooneys didn't promoted Colbert to General Manager for no reason. Jarvis Jones WAS his pick. Rooney and Tomlin may have played factors in the decision of that pick but! It is Colbert's job to tell them why he was a good/bad pick. With amateurs' eye, even we COULD see how and why Jarvis Jones was a bad pick/fit let alone his athleticism was sub-par. I assure you, the other scouts saw same. At the end of day, it was Colbert's call as always.
Rooney let Noll picked "Senor Sack" over Dan Marino, THAT wrapped everything up man.

Back in February, the family of Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla) built an igloo on Capitol Hill and named it after Al Gore. Inhofe was, of course, mocking Gore's advocacy of efforts to combat global warming. Any scientist would remark that one snowstorm doesn't contradict warming trends constructed from measurements made around the globe.
But if the planet's getting hot, what is with all the snow? There is an emotionally satisfying explanation: maybe global warming is causing the increased snowfall.
Enter Judah Cohen, Director of Seasonal Forecasting at Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc., a private sector consultancy that helps companies understand weather trends. In an Op-Ed in the New York Times, Cohen makes the argument that the melting of the ice is leading to more moisture in the atmosphere and more snowfall in Siberia, just north of extremely high mountain ranges such as the Himilayas. This creates bigger atmospheric waves, pushing warm air north and cold air south.
I have no idea whether or not Cohen is right. But I like the way his argument matches my own experience: I don't doubt that average global temperatures are rising, but the past few years there have been Christmas snowstorms (like today's) that were unheard of when I was growing up on Long Island, when "White Christmas" was just a Bing Crosby song.
I also like the way Cohen's piece squares with my impression of the way scientific debates get distorted in the political arena. The debate about embryonic stem cells was good example: proponents had Christopher Reeve walking, and opponents minimized their potential. The truth lay far in between these extremes. The global warming debate has a tendency to swerve off similarly into minutae, and not to address the fundamental question of how human beings are warming the planet — something a lot of smart people don't believe.
The Times did a great job getting to the root of of this politicization with a Dec. 22 front-pager on Charles D. Keeling, the San Diego scientist whose measurements of atmospheric carbon levels are a key argument in favor of global warming. Perhaps the most memorable detail: Keeling was a Republican.
A lot of arguments against global warming focus on the idea that scientists are basing their forecasts on complex computer models that could be way off. But the theory is actually much simpler. Build-up of greenhouse gases causes temperature to rise; that's why Venus (the planet) is so hot. These have been building up in the atmosphere, and the temperature has been rising. It's possible that the change is really the result of natural processes — human beings have lived through some pretty big climate changes — but it's also possible that our use of fossil-based fuels is either increasing the rate of change or driving it.
So what do you think? Could overall warming of the planet be the reason that I'm staring at two feet of snow right now? Or is that a leap too far? Do we need companies like Exxon, BP, and Amyris to come up with alternatives to fossil fuels, or are we just over-reacting to a natural warming trend?

That, of course, is easier said than done. Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway told me prior to the Super Bowl that only now, heading into the 2014 draft, does he feel that the Broncos are in good enough shape roster-wise to draft the best player available. It took three years to get there.
If Houston general manager Rick Smith and first-year head coach Bill O'Brien draft for need, they could reach and take one of the quarterbacks -- none of whom should be drafted that high, another general manager told me.
If Smith and O'Brien take the best player available, that would be Clowney.
Through their research, their visits with Clowney, his pro day and a likely private workout at their facility, the Texans will have to try to quantify Clowney's heart. Did his production drop last season because he was trying to preserve himself for his pro career? Was he at all bitter because he wanted to declare for the 2013 NFL draft but couldn't? Was there something else at work between him and Spurrier?
Houston could be a terrific fit for Clowney and vice versa. Clowney would be paired opposite J.J. Watt, who lives his life with the singular purpose to be the best football player he can be. Watt closely monitors what he puts in his body, how he works out and when he goes out. His drive on a team that also includes another hard worker, linebacker Brian Cushing, is contagious.
Watt could be the perfect mentor, teammate and friend for Clowney, who could then flourish on a defense where Watt would draw most of the attention and double-teams.
That decision is Houston's to make, but it would be an easier decision if the Texans had access to the one bit of data that doesn't exist: an exact measure of Clowney's heart.

I am loathe to ever write anything positive about Duke basketball, but credit needs to be given where it's due. On Wednesday night senior Mason Plumlee took an alley-oop pass from sophomore guard Quinn Cook and threw it down with authority. The above video shows just how insane a dunk it was. I mean wow. No. 2 Duke ended up beating No. 4 Ohio State 73-68, and Plumlee's dunk was definitely the highlight of the night.
