Melody emerged naked into their bedroom, round breasts bouncing, her skin still damp from the shower, a cloud of body spray trailing behind her. Gathering clean underwear, socks, faded blue jeans and a short-sleeved pink blouse, she began to dress.
Stripped to his shorts, Daryl lay on the bed, reading an Octavia Butler novel. "Did you fill up your gas tank?"
Melody blushed. "Oops."
Daryl put the book aside and sat up, sighing. "Melody."
"I just forgot, okay? It's been a crazy day. And you worry too much, you know. Why make a big deal out of nothing?"
"I don't want you getting jacked. Or robbed."
"Please!" she scoffed. "I could get jacked or robbed stopping for gas in the daytime. So could you. It's all about being careful."
Daryl slid off the bed, went to the closet and grabbed a pair of sweatpants.
"What are you doing?" Melody asked.
"I'm gonna take your car down to the gas station."
"There's no time for that." Melody glanced at the clock. She had twenty minutes to get downtown to her job. "I've got enough gas to get to work and back. I'll fill up on my way to class tomorrow."
Daryl froze for a moment, uncertain about her plan. The only thing that worried him more than her making stops at night was her running out of gas on some street.
Seeing his hesitation, Melody grabbed the opportunity to take control of the conversation. "Let's get back to something that really matters. Why did you change your mind, Daryl?" She held up her hand to him, displaying the ring he had given her just thirty minutes ago.
Daryl rolled his eyes to the ceiling. Is she back on that again? Something was obviously bugging her, but for the life of him he couldn't see why. "Hey, do you want to get married or not?"
"You know I do. But we talked about this and I was all set to wait. I know how much pressure working on a degree can cause. Just thinking about coming up with my thesis next year makes my stomach hurt."
"I already worked out that thesis for you, babe. Title: 'Bad Ass Kids.' Subtitle: 'Why a Teacher's Most Valuable Tool is the .357.'"
Melody grunted dismissively. She slid past Daryl, grabbed her sneakers from the closet, then sat down on the bed to don them. "I don't want you flunking law school."
"You're not gonna make me flunk, Mel."
"See? You're already blaming me."
Daryl laughed. "You are crazy."
"I'd just feel better if I knew what changed your mind."
Something surely had, Melody knew. Undoubtedly he had already talked it over in detail with his parents. But he always kept certain things from her, the woman he supposedly had put first in his life.
"Damn, Melody. Now who's making a big deal out of nothing? By the way, we need to set a date."
Melody held up a hand, stopping him. She repeated her question, pronouncing each word slowly and separately. "Why-did-you-change-your-mind?"
Fuck it, Daryl thought. He tossed the sweatpants aside and struck a provocative pose in front of her. "I'm giving you a chance to protect your assets, baby." He spun around, put his boxer-covered rump in her face and started a slow, sinuous bump-and-grind. "I know you're not gonna let another female have this."
A giggle from Melody, finally, as she shoved him away with her foot. "You are not all that."
Daryl laughed, as bubbly and carefree as a child. He turned and fell on Melody, pressing her back on the bed and wrapping her in his arms. "Tell me you ain't glad to have me," he dared as he kissed her.
Melody kissed him back, matching his passion, enticed by the sandpapery feel of his chin against her face. She slipped one hand around the back of his head and the other down to squeeze his muscular butt. She could feel the familiar warm rush blossoming in her groin.
No time, her mind screamed. She pressed her hands urgently against his shoulders and he rolled off her.
"I've got to go," she muttered, shaking out her ponytail, reaching for her purse.
As she rushed across the room, heading for the door, Daryl delivered a swat across the soft, generous mounds of her backside. "I'll be ready for you when you get back," he promised.

Final Score: Phoenix 120, New Orleans 106
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Amare Stoudemire scored 36 points, pulled down 12 rebounds and sank all 14 of his free throw attempts, as Phoenix ran past the New Orleans Hornets, 120-106, at US Airways Center.
Jason Richardson had 20 points, while Steve Nash tallied 13 points and 12 assists as the Suns won for the ninth time in 12 contests. They moved a half- game ahead of San Antonio, into sixth place in the Western Conference.
"We definitely wanted to set the tone early," Stoudemire said. "It was a very important game for us and we came out with the intensity from the start and we've just got to keep the momentum going and keep improving as a unit."
Jared Dudley also scored 13 and Robin Lopez had 10 for Phoenix, which is 2-2 on a season-long seven-game homestand.
Marcus Thornton scored 28 for the Hornets, who have lost three straight and seven of their last eight games. David West ended with 24 points and seven rebounds in defeat. Emeka Okafor chipped in 15 and 12, while Darren Collison contributed 13 points with 10 assists.
"It's tough. Amare took over the game in the third quarter," Thornton said. "We made some silly turnovers and that's like giving them two points every time. We just have to work through it and be professionals."
Phoenix, which shot 57.5 percent for the game, hit 15-of-22 field goal tries in the opening quarter, racing to a 34-22 lead after 12 minutes. Included in that was a 16-2 burst. Nash and Richardson hit three-pointers during the flurry, which ended on Stoudemire's jumper for a 27-11 cushion.
The Suns led by double digits for the majority of the second quarter until the Hornets whittled the margin to four, the last time at 50-46 on a West short jumper with 1:11 left. It was 55-49 in favor of the Suns at the half.
New Orleans took a brief 57-55 edge, but the Suns scored the next seven and didn't trail the rest of the way. Richardson's reverse layup extended the lead to 69-59 with 7:09 remaining in the quarter, and the difference stood at 83-71 moving to the fourth.
A dunk from Stoudemire extended the lead to 94-74 with 10:23 to go, and the double-digit margin remained until the final horn sounded.
Game Notes
The Suns have won four of the last five games against the Hornets following a six-game series losing streak. Phoenix (3-1) secured a win in the series for the first time since 2006-07...The Suns have won seven of their nine home games since the All-Star break...Nash played in his 1,000th career regular season game. He is the 10th active player to reach the mark...This was the start of a five-game road trip for the Hornets, who have lost their last seven away games...James Posey (flu) and Peja Stojakovic (lower abdominal strain) sat out for New Orleans.

A divorce is a stressful process for any family. One home splitting into two can affect your life, your children, your home, and your assets. As you move through the divorce process, it is important to understand each stage of the divorce and how to protect yourself, your children, and your assets. It is also imperative to have an advocate by your side who can properly guide you through the divorce process. Failing to do so may lead to irreversible consequences.

I thought it was great, 'course it was like 3 years ago, but I wish there were more games like this.
Has anyone played this game?
More like almost 11 years ago. It was released in 1999! And yes, it was AWESOME. 3DFX FTW!

No, but I want to thou. I got #7, but all i did in that game was kill people and steal stuff.
No it wasn't hated, people complained that it needed a really powerful PC to run it, which was strange because many leading games of the day, including Half life, had the same arguments levelled at them too.
I played the game when it first came out, and then again on a laptop in 2004. I grew up as a huge fan of the Ultima series (starting with Ultima I in 1983 or '84 or whenever it was re-released), and this game was sometime of a disappointment. It abandoned a lot of what made the good Ultima's great, trivialized the story, and made for a very unsatisfying end to a great series. But the graphics were great (for the time). If you're interested in playing some great Ultima games, I would suggest IV or V, which you should be able to play in DosBox, or the Ultima Underworld series. The Underworld games are 3-D games from the mid-nineties, I think, and they have great, open-ended game play.
@Von: For the best Ultima VII experience use Exult; it's a native Windows / Linux / OS X Ultima VII player which allows you to fully experience the entirety of the Ultima VII games (Serpent's Isle and the other addons) while also allowing for some rather fun and useful additional features, such as native speech pack support, various graphic scaling settings (which can make the game look really pretty) and being able to increase the world view as well being able to teleport anywhere by double clicking on the world map.

There is a lot of fan patches and stuff happening with this game right now. I'm wondering can I add any of that info to the wiki or ?
That was a game ahead of its time. How many games even today have a seamless transition from indoor/dungeons/outdoor. Played like a 3D Zelda game. I stopped playing it about 3 dungeons into it (PC kept crashing) but would love to get back into it now--I still have the disk. I have a Macbook (I do have VMWare Fusion and XP)--any suggestions on how to get this game to work?

I have that giant collectors edition somewhere around here.
" That was a game ahead of its time."Very true. I played it when it first came out and couldn't really get into it. Even dealing with the bugs and graphic issues on my PC back then, I just wasn't the kind of gamer back then that I am now. About two years ago I found out there was a fan patch for this
and thought I'd try it again since I loved pretty much the whole Ultima series; starting with 3 and on, including the Underworld series. I really enjoyed it! I thought it had quite a bit of depth and man it's a long game, that world is huge! It wasn't until
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind that I thought any game came close to such a large scope and story.

Looking to stop and smell the flowers, Arika Zittlosen left the hubbub of Hollywood for the mountains of Colorado.
A year ago, Zittlosen and her husband moved to Idaho Springs and this month opened Arika's Mountain Flowers at 1535 Miner St., Unit 1.
Surrounded by tulips, daisies and carnations, Zittlosen, a Colorado native, said operating a flower shop meets her artistic needs but at a slower pace. Previously, she worked at Warner Bros. Studio.
There is a small order of birds known as goatsuckers. The scientific name is the Caprimulgiformes, which comes from the Latin Caprimulgus, a milker of goats and forma or form.
This name comes from the old belief that these birds, which are often seen in low sweeping flight over meadows, were sucking the milk out of goats. There are not as many species in this order as there are in some other orders such as finches and warblers.
The Underhill Museum in Idaho Springs is gearing up to celebrate the historic building's 100th anniversary on Aug. 25.
The fund-raising celebration for the century-old building will include a martini bar, hors d'oeuvres from local restaurant Mangia, and live music by Gary Jorgensen and Claudia Cupp in the museum's iconic garden.
From beneath the wide brim of his cowboy hat, Ted Brown seeks out his quarry on the hillsides.
His discriminating eye spots a plant that could be an oxeye daisy — not an unattractive plant, but one that is a threat to native species in the high country.
On a recent afternoon in the fields behind Clear Creek High School, Brown is seeking the eradication of a specific weed: the common mullein, or Verbascum thapsus.
Brown's employees spray the mullein, whose brown stalks stick up from hillsides like Roman spears.
The Twin Tunnels appear key to the future of growth in the Interstate 70 corridor today, just as they were more than 60 years ago.
Two weeks ago, I wrote about the tree and violet-green swallows that nest in this area. They are the swallows that have dark blue-black backs and white under parts as they flash by.
There are other swallows that nest regularly in the area and that are also present in the big flocks of swallows that gather on utility lines before they depart for the South. There are four other swallows that are in this group that everyone can easily see in mixed flocks. The bank and rough-winged swallows are easily seen as different for they have brown backs and white under parts.
With its Victorian charm and mining heritage, Silver Plume became the perfect setting for two books — one historical fiction and the other a ghost story — from different writers. The authors are visiting the county to promote their books and do readings over the next couple of weeks.
A historical tale
Veteran author Marianne Mitchell of Arizona decided to set her most recent book, "A Promise Made," in Silver Plume after trying to unravel her own family mystery.
As summer wanes, more and more young birds are at the feeders. It is great to see so many of the regular species apparently doing well. There is one whose presence I miss in the yard. For some unknown reason, the violet-green swallows did not return this spring.
One of the most prominent and therefore most asked-about birds at Evergreen Lake is the double-crested cormorant.
This big bird often is seen sitting on the dam or on the sandbar that accumulates at the inlet. They are big black birds that people cannot fail to see, especially when they have their wings spread out to dry.
Depending upon the current taxonomy, there are 27 or more species in the world but only one that is commonly found in inland areas. Cormorants are found worldwide along ocean coasts.
Idaho Springs' mining history made a reappearance on July 19 when a sinkhole caused by an abandoned mining tunnel under the road appeared in the left eastbound lane of Interstate 70 near the Hidden Valley exit.
What started as a foot-long hole in the asphalt grew to more than 12 feet deep and 10 feet wide. Colorado Department of Transportation crews closed part of I-70 as they worked through the night to fill it.
"Hopefully nothing else crops up," said CDOT spokesman Bob Wilson.
A phone call from a reader of this column on Thursday, July 12, brought some exciting news. The call was from Susan Pellegrini, who lives out Brook Forest Drive. She was calling to tell me she had seen her first rose-breasted grosbeak at her feeder. It was an adult male, not all that unusual in itself, but it was the date that excited me.
The past two weeks have been interesting with the usual influx of young animals that occurs every year in July. It also ushered in a very dramatic temperature change.
The dry high 90s were suddenly changed into crashing thunderstorms and cooler temperatures. Daytime temperatures dropped into the 70s, and nights suddenly required a blanket or two, which is much more normal for the foothills area. I was especially relieved by the cooler weather for the high temperatures seemed to weigh heavily upon me in my old age.
The frogs definitely were hopping Saturday in Empire — all 120 of them.
That's how many amphibians were sold to participants at Empire's resurrected Frog Rodeo at Minton Park. This year, the demand was so great that the number of would-be participants outnumbered the available frogs.
Another question from a reader this week asked how to keep squirrels out of bird feeders. Any of you who have read this column regularly recall that I wrote some time ago that I had given up trying to outsmart the squirrels.
However, here are a few general ideas on how to combat these furry robbers of birdseed. Some things have worked fairly well for me. My feeders are all on pulleys that keep them well above the ground and away from the supporting pole. The pole I use is a piece of 21/2 inch galvanized water pipe.
Aspiring author Kathy Lynn Harris noticed a year ago that it seemed like everybody on airplanes was using e-readers and not reading print books anymore.
So the Clear Creek resident decided it was time to give up the dream of finding a traditional publisher and publish her novel, "Blue Straggler," the digital way.
Now on his fourth pair of running shoes, Ethan Bennett reached Idaho Springs on June 17 on his road trip from New York City to San Francisco.
The trick, he discovered, is that each pair — while officially good for only 300 miles — can be coaxed to yield 600 miles. That sort of trick has been a metaphor for the tenacity Bennett, 23, has shown as he runs across the country. He will reach the West Coast on July 29 when he finishes the San Francisco Marathon and a total of 3,289 miles.
A chorus of picks digging in the earth and the occasional sound of steel scraping stone accompanied the nearly 40 volunteers working just west of Empire on June 1 to build a historic trail for people with disabilities.
Partners for Access to the Woods is a nonprofit that specializes in opening public lands to the disabled. The trail, in part designed by students from the Colorado School of Mines, is both wheelchair accessible and designed for the blind, PAW director Carol Hunter said.
June 8, 15, 22, 29
The Oh My Gawd Rodeo features bulls, broncs, ropers, racers and mutton bustin'. The rodeo will begin at 7:30 p.m. Fridays at the Kiefer Arena. Take Interstate 70 to Idaho Springs, then take the frontage road west. Adults, $10; kids ages 10 to 17, $5; children under 10 admitted free. For entry information, call 303-622-9745.
June 11
June is here with all her green profusion. In terms of weather, June is probably the best month of the year. It's not too hot and not too cold with enough spring moisture to maintain her greenness. June comes pretty close to perfection. The burst of new growth has turned everything green and lush, and many wildflowers are in bloom.

Unfortunately, six teams is actually quite a lot of teams to do any in-depth analysis on, so before we get into the full nitty-gritty let's see if we can pare down that list some,
using what I call the "Boise test." Specifically, if anyone clearly has a worse resume than Boise (and doesn't have a legitimate chance to change that), we can throw them out and focus
on the rest. Clearly, Alabama does not have a worse resume than Boise. Just as clearly, Arkansas and Oklahoma St each have a major chance to impress coming up. Even if you thought
that either currently has a worse resume than Boise (and clearly the model does think this about Arkansas, rating them as having a worse schedule and doing worse against it),
there's clearly the potential to change things in the immeditate future. So let's just focus on Houston, Stanford and Virginia Tech. Do any of them fail the "Boise test"?
Eyeballing the above table, Virginia Tech clearly fails this test, while Houston probably does too (did better against their schedule, but the schedules are simply not comparable at all).
Meanwhile, Stanford is rated as having a tougher schedule, but they didn't do quite as well as Boise against it. So at the least, they don't get an automatic pass. So let's take a look
at each team's results in more detail. The below table looks at each team's 1-A results and rates them from best to worst:
Provided that you don't drastically disagree with the ordering of this list (you can quibble with some items, such as Boise's Georgia win getting discounted
for the fact that Georgia wasn't as good early in the year, but I doubt that if you sat down and did this exercise yourself you'd suddenly see a lot of Houston/VA Tech
at the top or Boise/Stanford at the bottom), it's fairly clear that, yes, Houston and Virginia Tech do in fact fail the "Boise test." Their performances
simply weren't as good, or even close to as good, as Boise's. And since clearly Boise isn't a national title contender (regardless of whether you think they should be or not, clearly they aren't),
then barring a lot more craziness you can legitimately remove those two from consideration. Yes, I realize that VA Tech IS in fact a national title contender
based on their ranking, but the argument here is that they really shouldn't be.
Technical notes about the lists and analyses:
1) Games against AA teams are not counted. There are many good arguments both for and against counting such games
(see this link for an interesting analysis of the issue).
I have elected not to count these results in the Compu-Picks model. As is the case almost every year, this means that one or two especially surprising AA upsets
don't make it into the numbers, skewing the results to a fair degree for a couple of teams. I believe that this is a more than acceptable tradeoff given the substantial issues
that counting AA games would create, but you are certainly welcome to disagree with my decision on this matter.
2) As mentioned here, the purpose of this system is to make picks, not to create a list used for rankings.
As such, I evaluate the system solely on the basis of how good a job it does making picks. I do not evaluate the system on the basis of whether or not
it agreed with AP polls, BCS rankings, the BCS computers, or any other such list out there. In fact, the system has a long and established history of
being substantially different than those sources. I am fine with these differences. To be honest, I publish these lists because I find them interesting
and thought-provoking, and because I believe it is a good thing to introduce an approach that doesn't simply regurgitate the same avenues of thinking as you can find
in most places.
There are a few important notes and caveats I need to make about this model:
1) Compu-Picks does not endorse implicitly or explicitly any form of illegal gambling.
Compu-Picks is intended to be used for entertainment purposes only.
2) No guarantee or warranty is offered or implied by Compu-Picks for any information provided and/or predictions made.

The four finger symbol, known as 'Rabaa', meaning four in Arabic, is used to remember those killed in the crackdown on the Rabaa al-Adawiya protest camp in Cairo in July.Thousands of Muslim Brotherhood supporters demonstrated across Egypt this weekend as the country prepares for the trial of ousted President Mohamed Morsi on charges of inciting murder.In Alexandria, seven protesters were wounded in clashes with local residents Friday before security forces intervened, firing tear gas and arresting 13 demonstrators, security officials told Al-Jazeera.More from GlobalPost: Murder trial of Egypt's Morsi to start November 4Fighting also erupted in the Gisr al-Suez district of Cairo. The clashes came a day after police arrested 20 female Islamist activists in Alexandria after they scuffled with bystanders during a protest.They also come amid reports of a visit Sunday by US Secretary of State John Kerry, his first since Morsi's fall.Morsi, held at a secret location since being overthrown by the miliary on July 3, is charged with inciting the murder of protesters outside the presidential palace in December 2012.More from GlobalPost: Morsi rejects authority of Egypt court due to try himHe is to be tried along with 14 other defendants starting Monday.Supporters chanted slogans denouncing the trial as "fake" and waved placards showing the four-fingered salute that has become the symbol of their protest."This is not a trial," demonstrator Ahmed Abdel Latif told euronews. "Until now no lawyer has been able to meet him and no volunteer has been able to take a copy of the papers of the case. This is not a trial – this is a farce."Interior ministry officials say 20,000 policemen will be deployed on Monday to guard the south Cairo academy hosting the trial and to secure Morsi's transport to the makeshift court room.Morsi will likely be representing himself.AFP contributed to this report

Wisconsin Senior
40: 4.54
Has very good hands and consistently catches the ball with them. Will high point the ball when working in traffic, and consistently attacks the ball on the comebacks and fades. Does a good job going up for the throws and shows good body control to adjust in the air. Uses his body well to get position over the middle on the crossing routes. His ball skills make him an effective vertical receiver because of his ability to go and get the ball when he gets position against the corner downfield. Does a nice job working the sideline with his feet when making the grab there. Flashes some attention to detail with his route-running, showing a bit of a head fake. Has some strength as a runner after the catch. Gives good effort as a run blocker and does a nice job getting position against defensive backs downfield. Even gives good effort when they run to the opposite field, going after and hitting most of his assignments.
Lacks speed and burst. Struggles at times to beat press coverage off the line, and will have a difficult time separating from top corners. Doesn't get up to speed quickly, and not a guy that is going to accelerate off the line on the vertical routes and run by a corner. Won't create that separate needed on the crossing routes and slants to really get yardage after the catch. Will have some drops due to lapses in concentration from time to time, including when he tries to make a move after the catch before securing the ball. Doesn't always hit all of his blocking assignments and can be tentative at times when going up against a physical safety about initiating contact.
Toon is your classic case of what many years ago would have been pegged as a possession receiver. He's a sure-handed guy that is very effective moving the chains. But with the changes to the game and the emphasis on passing and the big play, his stock wouldn't be as high as it would have been a decade or so ago. He's a sure-handed receiver that works well in Wisconsin's run-first attack. He's a playmaker in college and their go-to wideout for a few years, but he's probably more effective because of how much defenses key on their running attack. He got a big boost from having a quarterback like Russell Wilson this past year because now they could exploit the deep ball. He made several plays down the field, but he's not a vertical threat in the pros. His father is former Jets wideout Al Toon
(9/1) vs. UNLV: 2 targets, 2 rec., 54 yards (27.0 avg), 0 TDs, 0 drops
(10/1) vs. Nebraska: 5 tgt., 4 rec., 94 yds (23.5 avg), 1 YAC (0.3 avg), 1 TD, 1 drop
(12/3) vs. Michigan St: 6 tgt., 3 rec., 34 yds (11.3 avg), 15 YAC (5.0 avg), 0 TDs, 1 drop; 1 penalty (clipping)
(1/2) vs. Oregon: 10 tgt., 9 rec., 104 yds (11.6 avg), 34 YAC (3.8 avg), 1 TDs, 0 drops
2011: 13 GP/13 GS, 64 catches, 926 yards, 14.5 avg, 10 TDs

- missed 3 games in 2010 due to turf toe, and 1 game due to a bruised thigh
Toon probably would only be a starter on teams that like to run the ball. In that sense, he can make up from his lack of playmaking abilities with his blocking abilities. There he could be a solid No. 2 receiver, especially if the No. 1 guy is a bit more of a dynamic option. In that sense, he offers similar value and potential as a Michael Jenkins when he was across from Roddy White in Atlanta. The difference is Toon is more sure-handed and physical than Jenkins. Toon is a player that could also work well in a spread attack. Because of his size he can be very effective on an island against corners. In that way, he reminds me a bit of James Jones, although I think Jones is probably a bit more sudden. But Toon also has better hands. For most NFL teams, he'll probably be a No. 3 wideout and can be a guy that helps move the chains. His success against the better corners in the league will depend almost exclusively on his ability as a route-runner. He's pretty good there already, but he'll need to be a lot better at the next level to be able to separate. Top corners in the pros are going to be very effective at containing him, particularly early in his career because of that burst to really separate. Against lesser and smaller corners, Toon will be more effective because of his size and physicality. In that sense, he's probably a better comparison to Jordy Nelson than Jones. Like Nelson, he's not going to be a player, particularly early on that is going to consistently make plays. But as a third option in the passing game, he can be very productive. And like Nelson as he starts to near the end of his rookie contract, he should start to show more ability as a starter. He'll be a good pro. LIke Nelson, in an offense with a good passer and other playmakers around him he can be a very effective role player. On a team that has question marks at quarterback or lacks other playmakers, he can be solid, but they'll always be looking for someone that can put fear in defenses, and that's never going to be Toon. But he should have a long pro career, and in most offenses be able to consistently catch between 40-60 passes per year as a solid complementary player.
Jordy Nelson, Packers.
Toon could definitely add solid depth here in Atlanta as a No. 3. He has the ball skills and size that could make him a more effective slot receiver than Harry Douglas, particularly on the more vertical routes. But at the same time, his ideal role would be playing outside, and allowing a guy like Julio Jones to move into the slot and be more of a dynamic weapon. As far as third options, he could really shine in that role because of all the coverages that guys like Jones, Roddy White, and Tony Gonzalez can draw away from him, which should leave him isolated against lesser corners. And unlike Douglas, because of his size he can tend to dominate those matchups. He would definitely add depth in Atlanta, and be a much more ideal injury replacement for either Jones or White on the outside than Douglas would. And because of his blocking ability, he should also fit well in Atlanta. As a rookie, he would likely be a 20-catch guy as the No. 4 receiver. But in his second or third year, he could start to pass Douglas on the depth chart for a lot of those reasons previously mentioned, and eventually develop into more of a 40-50 catch guy, particularly if the Falcons start to open up their passing attack more going forward.
The fact that Toon isn't going to be a big-time playmaker or a starter on most teams probably means he would be a reach before the third round. But because he is a guy that can be a solid complementary guy, he is worth a second day pick.
1-pathetic, 2-poor, 3-weak, 4-below average, 5-average, 6-above average, 7-good, 8-very good, 9-excellent, 10-elite

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, mediaweek.co.uk, Friday, 22 October 2010 08:00AM
In his new role Mitchell's responsibilities will include delivering the UKTV sponsorship sales contract to budget in close collaboration with the rest of the Channel 4 Sales team.
Mitchell will report to David Charlesworth, Channel 4's head of sponsorship.
During eight years at Ids, as partnerships controller and latterly as head of creative solutions, Mitchell has helped build its partnership team and worked with its editorial and marketing team to develop cross media platform solutions.
Mitchell began his career in 1995 working at pay TV broadcaster BSkyB in agency sales.
Charlesworth said: "Angus is an immensely talented individual who has been key to an excellent team performance at Ids and will be a significant asset to us moving forward."
In July UKTV announced it had awarded Channel 4 the £1bn 10-year ad contract for the UKTV portfolio, previously handled by the Virgin Media-owned Ids. Virgin Media is to close Ids at the end of the year.
James Wildman, managing director of Ids, is set to join Yahoo as its managing director and vice-president of sales for UK and Ireland in January.

What the duck?! Mere weeks after reality TV show star Phil Robertson's controversial GQ interview, which included racist and homophobic statements, led to his suspension, parent network A&E has announced that his suspension is over: right on time for filming the 2014 season. From "indefinite suspension" to back in front of the cameras in a remarkably short period of time. So short, in fact, that his suspension didn't even affect his appearance on the 2014 season: he won't be missing a single episode. What happened here, and what does it say about media, pop culture and activism in the United States?
The controversy started when Robertson's interview hit the internet, and a collective outburst of anger about A&E's tolerance of a racist, homophobic star led to an explosion of discussion and debate about a show many people had never even heard of. While "Duck Dynasty" had a somewhat considerable following, many of those involved in the criticism of the show were just tuning in, so to speak, and they all had opinions about whether the network should be providing a platform and a footing for the conservative Christian's rhetoric.
Some called for his suspension or firing, while others hotly defended him, and a battle raged over whether his "free speech" was at risk — mostly from members of the conservative right. It is worth noting, of course, that while free speech is a constitutional right, this right does not extend to mandated televised airings of anyone's speech or commentary. Television networks are free to hire and fire at will regardless of the expressed views of their stars and staffers, as this doesn't constitute a restriction of free speech rights.
Those opposed to the star's continued appearance on the network noted that it constituted an offense to black and LGBQT viewers, employees, and friends of A&E. They argued that supporting the continued presence of stars like Robertson contributed to homophobic and racist cultural attitudes, by allowing them to pass unpunished. Meanwhile, defenders of Robertson argued that he was free to express his opinions (as indeed he is) and compared a proposed network suspension or firing to censorship.
Quickly seeing that the controversy was growing ever-larger, A&E chose suspension and a statement noting that Robertson's comments in the private GQ interview didn't reflect the network's beliefs or ethics. Robertson's supporters criticized the decision while those infuriated by his comments were delighted — but now, it appears we are back at square one, with Robertson restored to his position on the show without any real penalties.
"Duck Dynasty" had been in hiatus when the controversy erupted, thus meaning that the suspension was largely a PR and political gesture, as it didn't affect filming. By lifting the suspension nearly a month before filming resumes, A&E ensured that he would continue to appear uninterrupted in the next season, and the network appears to have sent a mixed message to critics and commentators. Those angry about his suspension are pleased to see him back, even as they claim the network may simply have caved to pressure and didn't actually support Robertson's "free speech" rights.
Those upset by Robertson's comments, meanwhile, feel betrayed by A&E's move, which turned what could have been a sharp rebuke into a slap on the wrist. Instead of making a statement about tolerance for homophobia and racism, the network quietly capitulated, but the decision and the reaction raise some larger questions. Those offended by Robertson's comments were unlikely to be among the demographic that watched the show in the first place, after all, and Robertson certainly hadn't made any secret of his conservative Christianity and values before, so the remarks certainly didn't come out of nowhere.
The larger question isn't about whether people will continue watching "Duck Dynasty," but whether some activists may decide to drop A&E from their viewing schedule in protest of the network's decision to reinstate Robertson. A coordinated protest might send an effective message to the network that when it comes to corporate responsibility, viewers expect A&E to behave with a minimum of human decency, and not reward racist and homophobic behavior followed by hostile pressure from the conservative right.

None of these so-called Reality Shows are Real. And people who believe they are seeing every minute of every day in their lives are just as stupid as the networks who pay them.
Hate to burst some bubbles here, but they actually have producers, etc., that approve/disapprove content & they edit-edit-edit. Get Real people.
I quit watching A&E quite a while ago and have no intention of watching it again any time soon.
Television is for entertainment-if you're disgusted by these hillbillies don't watch them.
We can turn Religious Fanatic shows off, I just wish we could do the same with the Teabagger Politicians that were paid for by Big Oil, Big Banks, & Big Donors.
Those ones are frightening, these TV ones are irrelevant!
Don L you are absolutely right! I don't watch ANY of the reality shows...I think they are ridiculous! Networks only produce them because they are cheaper to make.
what a Neanderthal jerk!!
Why does anyone really care what a character from a "reality" show thinks? Like the vast majority of these kinds of shows, it's not truly reality anyway. While they may not have scripts, per se, everything that happens is set up and everything that is said is for the benefit of the camera. And even if one were to believe that the show actually follows these people everywhere they go, filming every moment of their lives, the network still edits a week or more worth of footage down to about 45 minutes, so of course, they edit out anything too boring. They want the drama and the controversy.
The "reality" is that someone at A&E probably encouraged him to make those statements because they knew it would create controversy they could capitalize on. The act of suspending him and denouncing his comments and then reinstating him was all part of the plan is nothing more than a publicity tactic. As they say, any publicity is good publicity.
I watch Sharpton for fun almost every night. Sure he's biased. Sure he's liberal. But hate speech? Al? I have yet to hear him talk hate- ever. If your definition of hate speech is calling out the biggots and quoting them word for word and giving their stupidity national airtime, then Go, Sharpton! As long as you are out there spewing the hate bile from your minds, those catching the filth will more than likely throw it right back at you. WAnna say it? Go ahead! But the response is just as legal as the right to make the comment.
Are we sure all the hullabaloo wasn't just a big publicity stunt?? Say something really nasty and cloak it in religious freedom, get a bunch of attention!!!!
I thought the show was being cancelled due to salary demands and lack of ROI by the network. Frankly, I agree with Sherri S. Never watched the show (nor any other idiotic reality shows plaguing television) and don't have plans to. Robertson's comments were simply expressing his viewpoints. As long as he is not inciting violence, that's his right.
Funny, when 'that' guy was making his remarks about gays, and what it morphs into, he failed to mention that it is also wrong for the the clergy to bugger little boys, and sometimes little girls. In my opinion, that has got to be the worst sins, as well as criminal. Most pedophiles go to jail, so why look the other way for some of them. I guess the laws don't apply to the religious zealots. And you can say anything you want if you are rich and religious.
....sigh....(they should let you know when you've run out of characters)
I've heard they want more money so should they not get what they want and choose to return to their real lives then hopefully we won't have another round of poor Phil et al if they pack it in.
