I love a good adventure and am never afraid to...
I love a good adventure and am never afraid to explore new places and step out of my comfort zone to try new things- well, most things! I believe that my easy going and warm personality are what capture people's attention. I'm very family oriented and my friends and loved ones mean the world to me. I'm not one to sit around, unless I'm listening to music or playing my guitar. I lead a very active lifestyle and I like going to boxing class for my main mode of exercise and also enjoy playing tennis, volleyball, basketball, golf, and skiing from time to time. Traveling is one of my passions and I'm always ready to get away on a moment's notice. I try to go on a big trip once a year. I've been to most of Europe, Australia, Rio, Thailand, The Caribbean islands, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. I dream of going to Ireland and back to Italy and London. I am looking for someone with an outgoing and fun personality and an open mind. She is athletic and takes care of herself by eating right and exercising. My ideal match enjoys traveling and is open to trying new things. An interest in music is a must!

Look what followed me home -- Hodaka Ace 90
The purpose of today's trip was to buy a '71 CB175 (see: http://www.hondatwins.net/forum/view...124848#p124848).
The seller also had this:
with a spare engine:
It is a 1968? Hodaka Ace 90 -- definitely rough, but for only $75 when you've already spent $46 in fuel to get there, again, how can you say "no"?
The handlebars are wrong, they need to be MX-style ones with the cross bar. Engine on it seems stuck, and seller was told by P.O. that it "skipped" in 2nd gear, and it needed bump started, because kicker was broken. Spare engine included, as well an engine gasket kit.
Inside of tank surprisingly clean.
More pics:
Actually, the bars are correct. The ACE 90 didn't have a cross bar.
You're going to need this link: http://www.strictlyhodaka.com/
$75?? Without knowing anything about the bike,
I would've bought it too. Looks fun.
I had the same thing happen, almost. I went to pick up an RD 350 parts bike. And the guy also had a Hodaka Road Toad. I paid $350 for the Road Toad, but it's pretty nice. It had no compression, the seller said it just needed a piston. In the end it just had a stuck ring, but the big end bearing was wrecked. I sent the crank out to a guy "Hodaka Dave" and he rebuilt it for I think $150 including parts. Since then I've ridden it a good bit, and it's been fun and reliable. Good for you. I love those chrome tanks. Enjoy!
For $75, I would have bought it too.:D

Author information
Jacey Boggs runs the popular spinning website insubordiknit.com. Spinners around the world have explored new yarn techniques from her DVD Sit & Spin and her spinning workshops. She teaches through guilds, yarn shops, and at national and international events. She is a regular contributor to Spin-Off magazine. She lives in Missouri.
Review quote
One of the things I love about Jacey Boggs as a teacher is that she doesn't mess around by saying what she's teaching is quick or easy. She firmly states that you have to be able to spin to make textured yarns, and the better spinner you are the better texture yarns you will make and the more the process will make sense. There are 8 different types of yarn to make with this book, each building on the skill set of the one before it. She starts the book with a basic wrap technique and ends with a three layered yarn that is the spinning equivalent of rubbing your stomach, patting your head and dancing a jig all at the same time. In between she teaches about loop, coils, corespinning, beehives and all of the combinations of skills that make up the yarns that Jacey is know for and has been teaching around the world. There are typically 4-6 photos for each technique in this book and 2 of those are (really gorgeous) beauty shots. The reminding photos exactly illustrate the crux of making each yarn. These process shots were clearly chosen by Jacey herself. Each yarn technique is broken down into numbered written steps and explained in mechanical detail: set your wheel up this way, your fiber hand does this and your drafting hand does this. There is no magic. With this book, you learn yarn making in a way that is a repeatable, an intentional yarn. You can look at the pictures and read the words and watch the DVD to have the lessons soak into your spinning mind through a variety of learning styles. The DVD follows each of the yarn lessons in the book -- it's very straightforward. It's great to see Jacey spin at her regular pace and also slowed down, so you can see the steps. I found myself rewinding to watch parts over and over. I will repeat that you have to know how to spin already to use this book; it's not for beginners. Even the most determined beginner might find themselves in a puddle of tears and cusswords if you try to leap straight into this type of yarn making. If you do know how to spin the basics, this book and DVD are an excellent learning experience.-Knitty.com

I'm an affectionate, down-to-earth, genuine person who loves to laugh. I am curious about life and love to learn anything new. I can't tell a joke but friends say I'm funny. I can't draw but I'm creative in the kitchen and the bedroom. Looking to share my happy life with a genuine, fun-loving and interesting man I'm a mix of extrovert and introvert so we can share the bouncing conversational ball. . I love being active outside but I also have a very urban side and would like to spend time with someone who likes both city and outdoor pursuits. Music, skiing, and movies are a few of my passions. I am always up for a good roadtrip and have travelled much to the East and West Coasts. Looking forward to traveliing around the world...so much to experience! The spark is the key. So, if we don't share all of the same interests, lets share stories of our day's adventures over a glass of wine. Nothing is better than sharing a great conversation with a witty, intelligent partner. Well, okay, something is better but a good conversation is a wonderful prelude. If we think we'd like to get to know each other better, let's meet for a coffee or a glass of wine and have a real conversation...and then onward if sparks fly!

Witty conversation, sunny winter days, autumn leaves, budding trees and diving into a refreshing lake. TIFF movies, seeing a tight live band, singing in my car, wind in my hair, strong black coffee, dark chocolate, HBO TV.
I'm game to try most anything and have wide interests from yoga to seeing a live band. Movies/theatre/concerts, skiing, spinning, golf, weekend getaways, new restaurant or fave old haunt, and sharing a laugh over glass of wine or pint with friends.
I'm always reading a book, magazines and newspapers. I attend a literary lecture series monthly. We just finished David Gilmour's The Perfect Order of Things, the new perspective of a man who revisits past failures - very interesting premise.

Not a poser user so not much to draw me in, but I really love her texture Wish I could use it :(
Well played with her in DS4.5 worked no problems at all the morphs inject without a hitch. I wouldn't convert her to a weight map version as some of the morphs stop working . But you really don't need them or sub-D, love the pose controls. For a small team they have done extremely well and brought it to a professional level. So my hats off to you, being a rigger myself I known how hard it is to strike a balance. So keep up the great work guys !!!
The Mind on the other side!
I've been able to use her in DS3 and DS4 with great success and she does have beautiful bends. For what it's worth, I think she's a great addition to my runtime and she has a different look.
I grabbed her up, she is a pleasure to work with in PP2012. Haven't got the extra morph pack yet, but was antsy to try her out, so this is just the base with some twists to the included morphs.

Colby Lewis Rumors
Rangers Re-Sign Colby Lewis, Michael Kirkman
As expected, the Rangers have agreed to re-sign free agent pitcher Colby Lewis, the club announced today (via MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan). The deal is for one year and $4MM. Texas has also re-signed the recently non-tendered Michael Kirkman to a minor league deal with a Spring Training invite, the team announced.
Lewis, a 35-year-old righty, has been with the Rangers since returning stateside after a two-year run with in Japan. He was a sturdy, high-value presence in the team's rotation until being derailed by elbow issues in the middle of 2012.
Lewis worked back to throw 170 1/3 innings last year, proving that he could carry the load of a big league starter. The results were not there, with a 5.18 ERA, but his peripherals (7.0 K/9 against 2.5 BB/9) led ERA estimators to value his contribution at about a run per nine lower than the earned runs he actually permitted.
Kirkman, meanwhile, lost his 40-man spot but obviously still held interest to the Rangers. The club seemingly took advantage of the non-tender deadline as a way to move him off the roster without exposing him to waivers, a process explained recently by Baseball America's J.J. Cooper. Last year saw Kirkman's lowest MLB innings tally since he broke into the league in 2010, though he had a fairly typical season at Triple-A and should have every opportunity to crack the big league pen in the spring.

Rangers Expect To Finalize Colby Lewis Deal Soon
Rangers GM Jon Daniels told reporters, including Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News (Twitter link), that he expects to finalize a deal with Colby Lewis this week.
The 35-year-old Lewis got back on a Major League mound for the first time since 2012 this past season after spending more than 18 months on the shelf with a torn flexor tendon and then undergoing a hip debridement operation. Lewis totaled 170 1/3 innings for the Rangers with 7.0 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in that time, but his ERA was an unsightly 5.18.
However, that ERA mark was higher than ERA estimators such as FIP and SIERA, which pegged him in the mid- to low-4.00s. Lewis was plagued by a sky-high average on balls in play for much of the season (he finished with a mark of .339). Over his final 13 starts, Lewis pitched to a much more respectable 3.86 ERA with a 60-to-22 K/BB ratio in 86 1/3 innings. For a team with several question marks in its rotation, Lewis makes for a nice depth piece that doesn't figure to come with a prohibitive price tag.

The Astros are one of roughly 12 teams who have checked in with free agent righty Jason Hammel, the Houston Chronicle's Evan Drellich reports. While Hammel makes sense for a lot of teams as a less-expensive option behind some of the pricier names on the pitching market, he seems like a particularly solid fit for an Astros team that is looking to upgrade its rotation without expending a lot of payroll. MLBTR's Jeff Todd, in his Free Agent Profile of Hammel, predicted the right-hander would receive a three-year, $30MM deal this winter — exactly what Houston spent to sign Scott Feldman last offseason.
Here's some more from around the AL West…
- Also from Drellich, Jose Veras' Barry Praver says his client is interested in returning to the Astros next season.
- The Athletics have called about free agent shortstops Asdrubal Cabrera and Stephen Drew, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports. Shortstop is an area of need for Oakland this winter with incumbent Jed Lowrie also a free agent.
- Rangers GM Jon Daniels told reports (including Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News) that the team could consider trading from its shortstop depth. "Its an area of strength for us. We've talked about the possibility for a while. We just have to decide if now is the time to make a move there," Daniels said. Elvis Andrus and Jurickson Profar are the two biggest names yet a deal involving either player wouldn't be likely until Spring Training, when Profar can show that he's healthy after shoulder injuries sidelined him for all of the 2014 season. Earlier today, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reported that the Yankees were "intrigued" by Andrus. Prospects Luis Sardinas and Hanser Alberto could also be trade chips, either in small deals or as parts of larger trade packages.
- Two sources tell Evan Grant that Colby Lewis will likely re-sign with the Rangers. Daniels said that if he "had to guess, I think it gets done," though noted that Lewis has "never been healthy and a true free agent before. This is the first real chance he's had to find out his true value."
- Kevin Jepsen could be a trade candidate if the Angels wanted to deal from their right-handed relief surplus, MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez opines. Jepsen has two more years of control left as a Super Two player, and his rising price tag could make him expendable for the Halos, Gonzalez speculates.

West Notes: Sandoval, Lewis, Ethier, Angels
Coming off another World Series win with the Giants, free agent third baseman Pablo Sandoval is seeking a nine-figure contract, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman writes. Sandoval would, however, like to remain in San Francisco. "He loves the city. He loves the team. He loves the fans," says agent Gustavo Vazquez. "And he wants to stay." Sandoval himself echoes those sentiments earlier today, and the Giants want him to return as well. The Red Sox are also expected to be among the teams bidding for Sandoval. Here's more from the West divisions.
- Rangers GM Jon Daniels says starting pitcher Colby Lewis will test the free agent market, FOX Sports Southwest's Anthony Andro tweets. The Rangers had previously indicated they were interested in re-signing Lewis, even though he posted a 5.18 ERA with 7.0 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 170 1/3 innings in 2014 after missing the previous season due to elbow and hip injuries.
- The Dodgers ought to consider keeping Andre Ethier, Steve Dilbeck of the Los Angeles Times writes. Joc Pederson's performance in a small sample down the stretch might indicate he's not ready to start, Dilbeck argues, and Yasiel Puig, Carl Crawford and Matt Kemp might not be able to stay healthy. So the Dodgers might as well keep Ethier, particularly if the alternative is eating tens of millions of dollars in salary and not getting much back in return.
- The Angels are likely to have a quiet offseason, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register writes. They don't have many free agents departing and not many clear needs, and since they want to stay under the luxury tax threshold, they don't have much money to spend anyway. They do want bullpen and rotation depth, and a report earlier today indicated one way they might try to get it is by trading Howie Kendrick or David Freese.

AL West Notes: Astros, Lewis, Rangers, A's
A federal bankruptcy judge today approved a Chapter 11 reorganization that will allow DirecTV and AT&T to purchase Comcast SportsNet Houston, reports David Barron of the Houston Chronicle. The network will be relaunched next month as ROOT Sports Houston and will provide the Houston area with significantly greater accessibility to television coverage of Astros games. The team has issued a statement, via press release, expressing its pleasure with the outcome: "We are very pleased with Judge Isgur's confirmation of the plan to reorganize the Network under AT&T and DirecTV. Throughout this long process, our main goal has been to provide broad coverage of Astros games for our fans throughout our region. This new Network will allow us to achieve this goal. There are still a few obstacles that we have to overcome, but today's decision is a big victory for Astros fans and the City of Houston."
Here's more from the AL West…
- Rangers GM Jon Daniels has already had discussions with Alan Nero, the agent for free agent righty Colby Lewis, about a return to the organization for Lewis, reports MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. The Rangers have extended a preliminary offer to Lewis, which Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports is a Major League offer. There's mutual interest on both sides, according to the pair of reports, but the process has likely been slowed somewhat by the fact that Nero also represents manager Joe Maddon, who is said to be in line to take over as skipper of the Cubs. Lewis struggled in the first half of the 2014 season but rebounded quite well in the second half, posting a 3.86 ERA over his final 13 starts. His 5.18 ERA on the season was likely inflated by a .339 batting average on balls in play.
- Also of note from Sullivan, the Rangers are expected to look to make rotation additions beyond Lewis this offseason, however they're more likely to come via the trade market than via free agency. The Rangers do possess a good deal of middle infield depth. Both Jurickson Profar and Rougned Odor are seen as highly regarded talents, but the Rangers don't have a place to slot both of them into the starting lineup. (It should be noted that the Profar/Odor speculation is my own, as opposed to something which Sullivan is reporting as likely.)
- The Athletics today announced the promotions of three coaches (Twitter link). Darren Bush, who previously served as the team's bullpen coach, will now shift into the role of hitting coach and fill the void left by Chili Davis (who signed on to fill the same role with Boston). Scott Emerson, who had previously served as a minor league pitching coach and minor league pitching coordinator, was promoted to the role of bullpen coach. Lastly, Marcus Jensen, who has served as a Rookie-league manager and minor league hitting instructor for the A's, was named assistant hitting coach/catching coach.
- Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram has several updates on the Rangers' search to fill out new manager Jeff Banister's coaching staff, noting that several announcements could come as soon as tomorrow.

Texas Notes: Banister, Lewis, Astros Targets
The Rangers overcame the first hurdle of their offseason when they signed manager Jeff Banister earlier this week. Speaking of hurdles (and bad puns), the erstwhile Pirates bench coach is drawing frequent comparisons to recent colleague Clint Hurdle. Shortstop Elvis Andrus sees a similar passion for the game, reports Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News. Another Rangers insider speaking with Bill Madden of the New York Daily News said, ""(The Rangers) have long had a love crush on Hurdle…and, in Banister, they felt like they were getting the closest thing to him."
- We learned earlier today that the Rangers have expressed interest in re-signing right-handed pitcher Colby Lewis. In a separate article for the Dallas Morning News, Fraley writes that the next step for the Rangers is to re-open communications with Lewis' agent Alan Nero. Said Daniels, "We haven't been able to spend much time on that. We can get back to that now."
- The Astros are thought to raise payroll by as much as $20MM next season and starting pitching could be a target, writes Chris Perry of The Crawfish Boxes. Perry focuses his attention on the shape of the market rather than picking a specific target. The top end of the free agent market – Max Scherzer, Jon Lester, and James Shields – aren't good fits, but anyone below the first tier could be in play. My own opinion: innings eaters like Kyle Kendrick, Roberto Hernandez, and Kevin Correia could make sense. Keep in mind, the Astros department of decision sciences identified Collin McHugh prior to the season, so they could have other stealthy names in mind.

West Notes: Daniels, Lewis, Astros, Padres
The Rangers would like to finish an extension with president of baseball operations and GM Jon Daniels by the start of spring training, ESPN Dallas' Calvin Watkins writes. Daniels is entering the last year of a four-year deal. His contract had been on the back burner as the Rangers looked for a new manager, but with Jeff Banister now in the fold, the Rangers should have more time. "We've been consumed for the last month on this, so [Daniels' extension] will fall in place," says team co-chairman Ray Davis. Daniels' teams have played in two World Series and had four 90-plus-win seasons since he was hired in 2005. Here are more notes from the West divisions.
- The Rangers are interested in retaining pitcher Colby Lewis, and Daniels says he's talked to Lewis' agent, Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest tweets. The Rangers are the only team allowed to negotiate with Lewis until five days after the World Series. The impending free agent pitched 170 1/3 innings in 2014, and his 7.0 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 indicated he was somewhat better than his 5.18 ERA suggested.
- The Astros have announced new manager A.J. Hinch's 2015 coaching staff, as noted by Mark Berman of FOX 26 (on Twitter). Former Mets hitting coach Dave Hudgens will take the same role with the Astros. Rich Dauer, previously the manager of the Double-A San Antonio Missions in the Padres organization, will be Houston's first base coach. The team also officially announced that Gary Pettis will be their third base coach and Trey Hillman their bench coach.
- The Padres announced a variety of changes in their player development area Friday, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. Randy Smith, who had been vice president for player development, will become a senior advisor for baseball operations, and will focus on scouting. The team will not retain field coordinator Randy Johnson (not the former star pitcher), hitting coordinator Sean Berry or outfield and baserunning coordinator Glen Barker. The Padres could consider Rangers field coordinator Jayce Tingler for their farm director position, Lin notes.

Rangers Notes: Lewis, Bogar, Chirinos
We noted earlier today that the Rangers would interview internal candidates Tim Bogar, Mike Maddux and Steve Buechele for their managerial opening. Here's more end-of-season notes on the Rangers.
- It sounds like the Rangers might soon re-sign pitcher Colby Lewis — Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star Telegram tweets that GM Jon Daniels and Lewis' agent Alan Nero have recently exchanged texts, and Wilson says that the two sides might come to "a quick resolution." Lewis, 35, posted a 5.18 ERA, 7.0 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 170 1/3 innings this season after missing the entire 2013 season due to injury.
- The Rangers have done well under interim manager Tim Bogar, but that won't have a significant impact on whether the Rangers hire him for the permanent manager position, Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest writes. "JD and I have already talked about it," says Bogar. "It didn't matter if I went 0-22 or 22-0. It was a lot more about all the other intangibles that go along with this job."
- Daniels says he does not expect the Rangers to be involved on key free agent pitchers like Jon Lester or James Shields, writes Andro. "I don't expect a play at the top end of free agency this year for a variety of reasons," says Daniels. "I also think there are going to be other ways to acquire quality innings in the rotation."
- The Rangers could stick with Robinson Chirinos as their everyday catcher in 2015, says Andro. Sticking with Chirinos might make more sense for the Rangers than, say, signing Russell Martin would — Chirinos was effective in 2014, and top prospect Jorge Alfaro could be ready in 2016.

AL Notes: Hughes, Tomas, Lewis, Perkins, Leyva
Phil Hughes of the Twins has capped off one of the game's best turnarounds by topping 200 innings on the year after today's outing. As Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press notes on Twitter, Hughes picked up a $250K bonus after passing the 195 IP threshold. Needless to say, Minnesota is thrilled that it not only landed Hughes, who just turned 28, but that it did so on a three-year deal that promises him just $24MM in total. As Pedro Moura of the Orange County Register observes (Twitter link), Hughes has struck out 181 batters while issuing a mere 16 walks this year, meaning that he owns an absurd 11.3 K/BB ratio. That is a historically significant mark, and one that would surely have made the righty one of the offseason's most interesting free agents had he elected to take a one-year pillow contract last year.
- You can count the Yankees among the teams taking a hard look at Yasmani Tomas, reports George A. King III of the New York Post. Of course, they will be far from the only team doing so. MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez provides an interesting look at the much-hyped young slugger, who is preparing for an important showcase on Sunday. "It was really difficult to leave Cuba," said Tomas (translation from Spanish via Sanchez). "It is for all of us who do it. But it's difficult there with the way the security is and how they control the players. I made an important decision to fulfill my dream and see if I was at the level of major league players. Here I am, and now I go forward."
- Rangers hurler Colby Lewis says that he was told "maybe" when he asked club GM Jon Daniels about the possibility of a return next year, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star -Telegram reports on Twitter. The 35-year-old righty has only a 5.12 ERA over 158 1/3 innings this year, but then again he had been out since July of 2012 with various injury issues. Lewis owns a 4.33 FIP and has notched 7.0 K/9 against 2.4 BB/9 on the season, making him a potentially appealing option for teams looking for a solid innings-eater.
- Twins closer Glen Perkins will be shut down for the rest of the year but ultimately received good news on his left arm, GM Terry Ryan told reporters including Phil Miller of the Star Tribune (Twitter link). Perkins will use a strength and conditioning program to deal with a forearm strain and nerve irritation, and is expected to be at full strength for the spring.
- The Orioles are nearing finalization of a deal with Cuban hurler Lazaro Leyva, reports Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun (via Twitter). Leyva has reportedly agreed to terms on a $725K deal to join the Baltimore organization.

Rangers Notes: Lewis, Bridwell, Rosales
It's definitely not the race the Rangers hoped to be leading in late August, but Texas is currently in position to land the first overall pick in the 2015 amateur draft. As you can follow on MLBTR's Reverse Standings, the Rangers currently have the game's worst record at 52-81, narrowly putting them "ahead" of the Rockies (53-80), Diamondbacks (55-78) and Astros (57-78). Houston, of course, is in line for two top-five draft choices since the team is already guaranteed the #2 pick in 2015 as compensation for failing to sign first overall selection Brady Aiken this past summer.
Here's the latest from Arlington…
- Colby Lewis wants to return next season and Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News figures the team wouldn't hesitate to re-sign him aside from the troubling issue of Lewis' struggles at Globe Life Park. Lewis has a 7.17 ERA in 13 home starts this season, as opposed to a 3.69 ERA in 11 road starts. Overall in 2014, Lewis has a 5.44 ERA in 137 1/3 innings, though ERA predictors such as FIP (4.35), xFIP (4.30) and SIERA (4.15) indicate that he has been unlucky this year, possibly due to a .365 BABIP. The veteran right-hander returned to action this season after being sidelined since July 2012 due to injuries, and his minor league deal with Texas is up after the season.
- The Rangers have long been interested in Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Parker Bridwell and have attempted to acquire him several times over the last three years, MASNsports.com's Roch Kubatko reports. Bridwell, 23, was a ninth-round draft pick in 2010 and currently has a 4.51 ERA, 2.03 K/BB rate and 136 strikeouts over 135 1/3 IP at the high-A ball level this season. Though Bridwell's career numbers are nothing to write home about, Kubatko thinks the O's should put him on the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft since "he's also got some of the best stuff in the organization."
- Also from Evan Grant, manager Ron Washington says that Adam Rosales is performing well enough to be considered for a utility role in 2015. Rosales has started at all four infield spots for Texas this season and is enjoying by far his best season with the bat, posting a .907 OPS in 80 plate appearances. Rosales is eligible for arbitration for the third and final time this offseason.

Houston area rapper Slim Thug reeeeeally wants Dwight Howard to sign with the Rockets this offseason. How do we know this? Well, the rapper has been heavily recruiting the NBA big man by enticing him with hoes, strippers, low child support payments, alcohol, shopping malls, and bad b**ches on Twitter. Like a boss. I guess now the tough decision is whether D12 wants all that or free chicken fingers for life. Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers has a nose for the football; he has 16 interceptions in five years, including a team-leading three in 2012. However, Flowers wants to up that total and in the bump and run system the team runs, he will get a lot of opportunities to get that done. "I try to get our defense riled up," Flowers said, via Randy Covitz of the Kansas City Star. "We love the bump-and-run here, and it was still man-to-man coverage, but I lined up off the line to give him a different look." "I'm just trying to get my hands on more footballs … every year, every practice, try to get more knowledge of the game and try to better myself," said Flowers. "[DB coach] Al Harris, he stays on top of you every single snap," Flowers said. "I told Sean, 'He's trying to turn us into machines.' Emmitt has seen everything … but Al has been in the fire not too long ago, and helps tell us how to jump certain routes because he knows how he had to adjust. Every pointer, every coach can give us … even Andre Reed talking to defenders … we're trying to gain every edge we can."

At first glance, a bill that encourages companies to relocate jobs to the U.S. from overseas seems like a solid candidate for widespread support.
But like much legislation these days in the bitterly divided Senate, partisan politics intervened, as Republicans on Thursday successfully blocked the measure that one senator called a "joke."
The Bring Jobs Home Act would strip tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and cut taxes for businesses to bring jobs back to the U.S. Democrats hailed it as "common sense" measure that would boost domestic job creation and close tax code loopholes that encourage outsourcing.
"We need to be exporting our products, not our jobs," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Michigan Democrat and author of the bill. "This bill encourages American businesses to bring jobs home and stops rewarding companies that move them abroad."
The White House also backed the bill, saying it would "encourage companies to invest in the United States."
But Republican leaders opposed on the measure on the grounds it effectively would impose an unfair tax increase on many companies.
Sen. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, said that while "on the surface, this proposal may sound reasonable," it was misleading and would lead to an "extraordinary deviation from current tax policy."
"There has always been a [tax] deduction allowed for a business's ordinary and necessary expenses — and expenses associated with moving have always been regarded as deductible business expenses," Mr. Hatch said Thursday. "As substantive tax policy goes, this proposal is a joke."
The bill died on a mostly partisan 56-42 vote, falling four short of the 60 votes needed to overcome a Republican filibuster. Four Republicans supported the measure: Scott P. Brown of Massachusetts, Dean Heller of Nevada, and Susan M. Collins and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine. No Democrats opposed it.
The bill was one of several "jobs bills" and tax measures Senate Democrats have floated this month, including a measure to extend expiring Bush-era tax cuts only for households making less than $250,000 a year.
While few if any of their proposals have a realistic chance of becoming law in the current political climate, Democrats are using Republican opposition to portray the party as beholden to big business and corporate money ahead of the November elections.
"It's fairly easy to see why Republicans are blocking our bill to stop outsourcing. They're obviously defending their presidential nominee, who of course made a fortune by shipping jobs overseas," said Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, in reference to presumptive presidential nominee Mitt Romney. "It's no wonder Republicans are afraid to even debate this."
But Republicans say the Democrats' economic agenda is a sham, insisting that any tax increase — including those for businesses and households making more than $250,000 — will hinder the sluggish economy from recovering.
"Democrats are evidently so determined to raise taxes on American job creators that if we don't let them do it, they'd actually welcome an economic calamity that could rock not only the American economy, but the global economy too," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said.
"When they say 'tax the rich,' the middle class isn't far behind."

Political Update: Government Shutdown
A government shutdown and the prospect of the US defaulting on its debts for the first time in history add up to a perplexing mess. Government systems that have taken us through more than 200 years of our history appear broken. Meanwhile, the already struggling poor and middle classes are bearing the brunt of this dysfunction. We look at the damage that has been inflicted by the shutdown, what a default would mean, how we got here and how to find a better way to run a country.

Richelieu: Battleground Florida
11:30 AM, Jan 16, 2008 • By RICHELIEU
South Carolina will get all the attention for the next few days, but the real showstopper in the GOP race will be Florida on the 29th. SC will narrow the field; pity the poor candidate who finishes third there and winds up in the political electric chair. If McCain drops to third, he'll be labeled president of New Hampshire, but little else. If Romney finishes third, his impressive Michigan win will be tossed off as a home-state fluke and he'll be labeled a northeasterner who cannot sell in the South. If Huckabee finishes third in a state tailor made for him, any chance he has of actually winning the nomination will over.
The Florida race will be about the top two finishers in SC racing to Tampa Bay to finish the fight, with the wounded third place finisher limping behind them. Like second tier super-heroes, each candidate has a special power that could be helpful in Florida but is not enough on its own to guarantee success. Romney has money; he can afford Florida's vital but expensive television markets. Huckabee has communication skills and a nature appeal to Florida's many social values voters. McCain has veterans, a bump in the latest polling and the close friendship of Florida governor Charlie Crist. Then there is Rudy Giuliani, lying in wait in Florida where he has attempted to a build a fortress in a state he has called must-win for his campaign. Rudy has been running heavy television across Florida and has a base of strong support in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area, but the latest Florida polls show him in a four-way tie with the others.
The Republican race is remarkably open here on day 14. Now South Carolina will narrow things - and Florida may well finish them.
