MS makes all its money from Windows and other PC apps. While I think the Xbox has been making a profit for a couple years now it is still so far in the hole they might never climb out again and their other entertainment divisions still lose money. I bet Kinect loses money.
They need to take the PC back by the balls and hold on to it. That means a LOT more than gaming, but it is a part of it.
I agree. I frequent the teamxbox forums and there are many Mac users there who have swung to Valve's side of the fence since Mac support was implemented. There are also some who are considering to get the PS3 because its open platform followed by Valve's Steamworks. There are many Valve fanboys in those forums and they were just ripping on MS for not jump on to this.

The console version's biggest addition, however, is the ability to play Terraria with a controller. It's initially hard to picture playing Terraria without the combination of a mouse and keyboard. The basic movement controls are simple enough, but inventory management, mining, and construction are all governed by a pointer-based interface that is best left for a mouse to handle. The gamepad controls developed for the port aim to offer the best of both worlds.
"The biggest challenge [the dev team faced] was the controls," Rosenstein said of the porting process. "The PC version is so heavily reliant on the keyboard and mouse, so the dev team spent a lot of time and a lot of effort working on the controls. They did several different layouts and several different practice runs."%Gallery-178191% The basics are intuitive for players familiar with side-scrolling games. Movement maps to the left analog stick. A (on an Xbox 360 controller) jumps and Y opens your backpack/crafting interface. Right trigger uses whichever item you have equipped and left/right bumpers cycle through the inventory hotbar at the top of the screen.
There's no setting to force-pause the game when you open your backpack like there is on PC, but an assignable D-pad offers quick access to a limited selection of items. Best used for consumables, D-pad-mapped items replace whatever item you have highlighted in your hotbar for a limited time, disappearing whenever you switch over to another item.
The biggest tweaks apply to the mining and construction interface. There are two modes that you can flip between by clicking the right analog stick: Auto and Manual. If, for example, you're standing near a copper vein surrounded by dirt, Auto mode will prioritize mining the mineral first as long as it's within range.
Click on the right stick and a small set of crosshairs appears, indicating that Manual mode is active. You'll use this to chip away at specific blocks or place items just the way you want them.
"Basically, you're [going to use] the different types of modes based on what you feel like you need for that specific situation," Rosenstein explained. "So if you're digging you can use our Auto mode, which isn't in the PC version. The controls are pretty standard; with that Auto mode and the Manual mode as well, you can still do the fine and gross control."
The problem, of course, is that some of the later game enemies and bosses you encounter are best tackled in the skies. With jump mapped to A and ranged weapon aiming assigned to the right stick, it becomes very difficult to fly and shoot at the same time. Thankfully, a checkbox menu option allows you to quickly re-map jump to the left trigger while the grapple shifts over to L3.
The port development team appears to have put a lot of thought into delivering the same level of functionality and flexibility that PC players have come to associate with Terraria. After just a few minutes of hands-on time, cruising through and manipulating the game's 2D came naturally.
Some of Terraria's new content – such as Ocram – is specifically featured in the late-game, but that's not true for everything. There's no specific path that the team followed, Rosenstein explained. They simply listened to and watched what the fans were doing.
"We saw a game that PC gamers loved and there was a whole audience that didn't get to experience it. We wanted to bring it to them [but] with the new content we also wanted to expand and reward the people who were playing in the long game," he said.
"Thankfully the community for Terraria is very vocal. Everyone says what they want. The PC community also had a lot of modders. In a sense there were people who were already testing stuff that we were thinking of."
"So [for example] a new boss, that seems like a very natural thing to add to the game. With pets, there was a UK boxed version that came with a pet rabbit. We said, 'well why stop at one?' So we put multiple pets in. Then we thought it would be fun if we put in pets that fought for you, so [we did]."
The hope is that an all-new tutorial mode – also set to be released as the game's free demo – introduces players to the unique appeal of Re-Logic's creation. The demo aims to introduce players to resource gathering and how to build living spaces the game deems acceptable.
Against all odds, Terraria seems to work as a console game; however, we'll all find out in a handful of weeks if impressions based on an hour's worth of fiddling hold true over the 20+ hours required to see everything the game offers.
[Ed. Note: This preview originally stated that 505 Games was the developer of Terraria's console port, the actual developer is Engine Software. 505 Games will publish. The error has been corrected in the above preview.]

Women are constantly shamed for their shape. Prepartum, postpartum, and never-partum. All but the smallest sizes are viewed as less than ideal.
Airbrushing our children's imperfections sends the message that our kids are not good enough as they are. And who wants to teach that to their children?

HSBC "lift" by Grey London

Jaguar, in a campaign planned and bought by Mindshare, will premiere the 40-second TV ad as part of its 'Alive' global brand positioning, in the first ad break of 'Homeland' on Sunday.
Following the premiere, Channel 4 will air five two-second blipverts in each of the five ad breaks during the show. The short ads show a flash of the car with the sound of a heartbeat, which will get progressively quicker.
At the end of the final ad break, as the viewers are about to find out how the series ends, Channel 4 will air the special 'Homeland'-themed ad, made by Spark 44.
Chris Cardew, strategy director, business planning, at Mindshare, said: "The partnership with Channel 4 has innovation, intrigue and integration at its heart, and has provided a fantastic platform from which to launch the new Jaguar brand proposition."
The 'How Alive Are You' campaign aims to differentiate Jaguar from its German competitors and attract a younger male audience, ahead of the launch of the XF Sportbrake this autumn, and the new F Type convertible sports car next spring.
David Amodio, agency principal at Channel 4, said: "Sometimes advertisers can become a little obsessed with trying to produce content for viewers, when there is already incredible content for them to leverage.
"Mindshare and Jaguar have cleverly identified a cult show that has captured the UK's imagination and used it to make their message and campaign more relevant to the audience who love that show.
"By empathising with viewers and their mind set while watching the drama unfold, Jaguar is making a really bold statement."
During last Sunday's 'Homeland' episode, Channel 4 aired a special ad displaying Twitter responses to its premiere of the trailer for the Ridley Scott film 'Prometheus'.

It is extremely rare for an NFL team to carry more than three quarterbacks at a time during the regular season. With the selection of West Virginia product Geno Smith on Friday, the Jets now have five on their roster. That means one — or likely two — of them will have to go. According to sources cited by ESPN's Adam Schefter, incumbent starter Mark Sanchez may be the first on the chopping block. Shefter reports that the Jets are considering releasing Sanchez despite the massive salary cap hit the team would take as a result. Smith, whom the Jets drafted 39th overall, and Sanchez are joined in New York by Tim Tebow, Greg McElroy and newcomer David Garrard. According to Schefter, both Tebow and Garrard have impressed those high up in the organization this offseason, with the former showing up slimmer and with improved mechanics and the latter shaping up to be an ideal mentor to a young quarterback like Smith. The Jets' passing offense ranked 30th in the NFL last year, with Sanchez completing 54.3 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. Smith completed 71.8 percent of his throws for 4205 yards as a senior for the Mountaineers, totaling 42 touchdowns with just six interceptions and setting a school record for career completions and touchdown passes.
Before they just release him they should at least beat the bushes for a team that's looking for a 'Butt Fumbler'. ;-)

Who needs an agent?!
HI! Just a note to all of you out there searching for that perfect fit. Sometimes finding some one to do the scouting for you can be a huge help. For those of you not familiar with a client/agent relationship, agents do the foot work, you do the "job". Many agents, such as myself do not charge by the hour, but work off comission. this is usually a 30/70% break (with you receiving the 70%, of course.)
In addition, your agent can handle your contracting, prospecting, and invoicing, allowing you to do what you do best!!
Sound good?
My firm is taking on five new clients this fall (the deadline is Oct. 3, 2003). I am looking for talent in all areas: 3D, 2D, VFX, graphic design, and concept art. If you are interested in turning over a new leaf, contact:

I can really only rate the results of 2 of the 4 products included in this package. The Thickening primer and the Daily Defense Power Mist. These both give instant results, which really do what they say they will do. I use the Thickening Primer after shampooing and the Daily Defense Power Mist after blow drying and I like the results. It is a little too early to rate the Power Shot II & Recovery Complex as I think these two will need "time to tell". Based on the results of the other products, I think they will be just as effective.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I really like this rug and the color. I'm happy with it.Read More
Love this rug.
Yep. The colors are soft, not bright and cheep looking. It is soft and thick and just beautiful. And yes it sheds. New wool rugs do that. It's not bad, vacuum and get over it.Read More
Beautiful but it sheds terribly
This rug is beautiful! The colors are perfect in our family room. The downsize is that it sheds terribly. It has to be vacuumed at least once a week just to pick up the loose fibers. We also end up with rug fibers on our furniture and hardwood floor that we have to clean up almost daily. I would give it five stars if it didn't shed so terribly.Read More
Lovely rug
I bought this rug just before Christmas. I've had it for four months, and I love it. It is soft. It did shed heavily for the first month or so. And I had to vacuum a lot to keep up with it. The shedding has settled down to very little, but the shedding does contribute to the dust I pick up on a regular basis. The colors are vibrant, but I like it. I use it in my formal living room with a medium grey upholstered sofa, gold silk curtains and mohagany wood pieces. It perfectly ties it all together. And the light blue brings out blue tones in the sofa. I use light blue accents throuhgout. I couldn't be happier. Oh, and it's easy to clean. My baby leaked his diaper from a flu bug, and the stain came right out with woolight carpet cleaner. Yay!Read More
Plush and Soft
I ordered 2 different sizes of this rug for my living/dining room. I was delighted with the quality. The rug was plush, soft ,and thicker that I expected for the price. I haven't vacuumed them yet, so I don't know if they will shed, but my $1700.00 rug did some shedding when I first got it too. The color looks a little different than the picture. The border has alot of khaki color, but looks nice. It has a little green, and some rusty/dark red depending on how you look at it, and a small amount of choclate brown in the leaves. The blue is a blue if looking in sunlight, and blueish teal when looking at it at night. It wasn't what I expected but I can make it work because it isn't a" full on" teal. I would guess that they put a little green in the dye to give it this tone of blue. I was expecting a soft powder, muted blue and this isn't. That is why I gave it 4 stars. I needed a rug to protect my grandbabies from the harsh hardwood, and muffle some sound in my house. This fits the bill, and looks like I paid much more. It really brightened my living space of dark brown furniture, and a huge dark stone fireplace. If you're not picky about the tone of blue you need, and don't need to match it with another blue, I would highly recomend this rug. Also, keep in mind that every rug looks different in different houses.Read More
Beautiful Rug, Perfect Colors for my family room..
Ordered this rug after much debate... was worried the colors were not true to what I was seeing on the monitor. However once it arrived, the colors were perfect to my needs/wants. The blue is a steely robin egg blue, not a bright robin eggs blue and is complimented by the contrast of the golden khaki (not a brassy hard gold color). The rug is nice and thick, I haven't put a rug pad under it yet (on wall to wall) but I plan to just to keep it from shifting, although so far it hasn't moved an inch (and that's after Christmas morning with 4 kids and 4 adults). The only downside is the shedding but that is true for any wool rug, just the nature of the beast I believe. After having the rug down for a week, I have noticed the shedding diminishing and hope that it continues down to a minimal. Overstock.com rocks when it comes to customer service and their prices cannot be beat!! Don't hesitate any longer.Read More
thick and plush
I love this rug from the moment I opened it. I would describe the color as robin egg blue with khaki, dark brown and red. It pulled the whole room together and complimented my other rugRead More
Handmade Heritage Mahal blue/gold Wool Rug.
I got this rug for my dining room, after removing 50 year old carpet revealing hardwood flooring. The look is elegant without being garish... It brings the room to life with my deep mahogany furniture woods. Furniture style is eclectic, a mix of primitive Hoosier cupboard, and contemporary dining table and chairs. I wanted something that would bring the room together. Oh, and this is very close to the rug from Overstock in the living room, in that it walks well.. plushy and soft under foot. Highly recommend.Read More
Amazing rug!!
This rug is amazing! It arrived so quickly ( shipping was FREE ) and the quality is so much better than I expected for the price. The blue is much more intense than the photo but not in a bad way, it's a really beautiful shade. I would absolutely recommend this rug, buy it before it sells out!!Read More

The Hypocrisy of Webb
Jim Webb is the latest Democrat to take aim at John McCain, but his comments show perhaps an higher degree of chutzpah than Wesley Clark's:
A Marine who served in Vietnam -- a fact he mentioned often as he campaigned for the Senate, occasionally while wearing his son's desert combat boots -- Mr. Webb said "we need to make sure that we take politics out of service."
One of the, one of the great problems we have right now in, in, in discussing this war is that very few people who have brought us this war have served and very, very few of the children of these people who have brought us this war have served. And if you have to wake up every morning wondering about a loved one, you will look at, at words like this much differently.
The only person who needs to calm down here is Jim Webb.

Primary ELECTION: August 4th, 2015The Progressive Voters Guide for the August 4th primary election will be released on Wednesday, July 8th. Stay tuned!
Election News
Enthusiastically sign I-1401: Save Animals Facing Extinction
published Tue, 05/19/2015 - 11:13 by Fuse Washington staff
Animals are disappearing from our planet at an alarming rate.
From the Golden Toad to the Javan Tiger, humankind has contributed to the extinction of hundreds of animals. But by signing Initiative-1401, Washington can make selling, purchasing, trading, or distributing animals threatened with extinction punishable by law. Such an action, except for a few certain types of transfers, would face a gross misdemeanor or class-C felony charge.
That means our last remaining elephants, rhinos, tigers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, pangolins, marine turtles, sharks, and rays will at least be somewhat protected from the illegal animal trade here in our home state.
Sign Initiative-1401. Save Animals Facing Extinction.
Enthusiastically sign WA Amend, I-735
published Wed, 05/20/2015 - 10:09 by Fuse Washington staff
Corporations are not people. Money is not speech. These are two truths a huge majority of the public agrees upon, and yet the Supreme Court ruled the opposite when it made Citizens United the law of the land.
That's where WAmend comes in. WAmend is an initiative to put the state of Washington on record calling for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution clarifying that corporations are not people, money is not speech, and political donations should be disclosed.
This same initiative has been on the ballot 300 times in the United States, from small conservative rural communities to large progressive states, and every time it has passed. WAamend is an initiative to the legislature and has until the end of the year to collect the signatures needed to get Initiative 735 on the November 2016 ballot. Enthusiastically sign this initiative!
Enthusiastically Sign I-122: Honest Elections Seattle
published Thu, 05/07/2015 - 13:07 by Fuse Washington staff
In recent years, elections in Seattle mean that our TVs, radios, and mailboxes are flooded with ads from secret groups and hidden sources of money. Corporate special interests donate large sums of money and make it hard for many of the best and brightest leaders of tomorrow to run, including people of color, low-income people, and women. But with Initiative-122, Seattle could lead the nation in the battle against big money in politics.
Initiative 122, known as Honest Elections Seattle, is about ensuring honest, accountable, and transparent elections. It would implement strong contribution limits and total spending caps for city elections to limit big corporate sources of money. It requires new lobbying and disclosure requirements to ensure we know where our elected leaders in City Hall get their money. It also features an innovative public financing system paid for by a very small property tax that gives each Seattle voter $100 in "Democracy Vouchers" to contribute to candidates of their choice. This public financing system will allow leaders from all communities to gain the same kind of access to City Hall as the wealthy and well-connected industry lobbyists.
If we want to slow the influence of money in our city's elections and ensure that more people participate in our democracy, we must do something now to level the playing field and amplify the voices of ordinary voters. Initiative-122 will do that. Please sign the petition to get this initiative on the November 2015 ballot and make the Northwest a leader in getting big money out of politics.
Decline to Sign I-1366
published Sat, 04/18/2015 - 14:36 by Fuse Washington staff
Professional initiative promoter Tim Eyman is back collecting signatures for Initiative 1366. This measure would force legislators to either put a constitutional amendment about taxes on the ballot or dramatically cut funding for education and social services.
Two years ago, the state Supreme Court overturned Eyman's previous initiative that required a two-thirds supermajority vote by state lawmakers to close any tax loopholes or raise revenue. I-1366 is Eyman's attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court by turning his two-thirds supermajority requirement into an amendment to our state constitution.
Eyman proposed nearly the exact same initiative last year. The Spokane Spokesman Review referred to his previous effort as Eyman's "worst ever" idea—"and that's saying something." Why? Because the initiative would force legislators to either put a constitutional amendment on the ballot or lose $1 billion per year for education by cutting the sales tax by 1 percent.
It's this "or else" threat in Eyman's proposal that has caused so much controversy. Why threaten our kids' schools with such steep cuts? Major newspapers across the state have called this idea "extortion" (Walla Walla Union Bulletin) "disingenuous" (Everett Herald) and "blackmail" (Spokesman Review), saying it is simply a ploy to keep Eyman's initiative promotion business up and running.
The courts have already taken our state to task for not funding education properly. We can't afford to bankroll Tim Eyman at the expense of $1 billion in cuts. If you see I-1366 out on the streets, decline to sign this risky initiative!

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) January 07, 2014
Dermapen Fractional Micro Needling Skin Therapy, the advanced skin treatment popular on the west coast and in Europe, is now available at W Cosmetic Surgery.
This innovative micro needling technology, also called fractional mechanical resurfacing, has been clinically proven to dramatically minimize most skin imperfections such as acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines, wrinkles and stretch marks.. The Dermapen is specifically designed to provide a non-invasive treatment that can revitalize dull, rough or blotchy complexions for a smoother, tighter, and more youthful appearance.
Dermapen works by using a pen-like device containing micro needles to create a series of minor vertical, yet penetrating, stamps. The micro needling effect induces critical collagen production—which depletes with age—and stimulates cell regeneration. By simulating the body's own natural healing process, the skin rebuilds itself to a thicker, smoother, more even and tighter skin texture than previously. Peptide and hyaluronic acid-based serums are applied to the skin throughout the micro needling session for a deeper absorption. The procedure time is short and patients typically have 3 to 5 sessions.
The Dermapen procedure is performed in our W Skin Studio by experienced, licensed medical aesthetician Gina Veith. "At W Cosmetic Surgery, it's a signature treatment because I've been doing it for a long period of time in this area. Microneedling is a great technique and treatment that triggers your skin's healing, natural healing response, to then build collagen under the skin." explains Ms. Veith.
In addition to Dermapen, many less invasive treatments are available at WSkin Studio, including nonsurgical lasers, injectable fillers, and peels.

DM's review of Borderlands 2
By Deranged Midget 28 Comments
Gearbox Software created a new genre with the release of the first Borderlands. For the first time, Gearbox managed to successfully blend RPG elements with FPS gameplay and the result was a massive cult hit. Borderlands succeeded with over-the-top action with a massive world and a chaotic cast of characters. The game was mostly regarded as widely successful with a few minor gripes and Gearbox now returns with Borderlands 2. Have they managed to improve on the first Borderlands? Let's find out.
Regarding the cast of characters, you're given a new set of vault hunters to choose from instead of being able to jump back into the shoes of the heroes from the first game. You're given the choice between four new classes to choose from this time around; Axton the Soldier, Zero the Assassin, Maya the Siren and Salvador the Gunzerker. For the most part, they all play relatively the same in regards to what weapons you can use, but it's their unique skills that sets them apart. Axton on one hand is able to toss down a turret, which once upgraded can blow apart your enemies with deadly rocket launchers or even spawn a second turret. On the other hand, the Gunzerker can duel wield weapons and every kill he racks up, improves his durability, speed and strength. Having all these unique skills for each class makes it quite the challenge picking between each character.
As for the supporting cast, Borderlands 2 assumes that the gamer has played the majority of the previous games DLC's and includes characters from the respective added content. Luckily, none of it is needed to truly understand what goes on in the game's main plot as Borderlands 2 explains all that is needed to know about their history. An additional surprise that Gearbox threw in is the return of the four Vault hunters from the original Borderlands; Lilith, Roland, Mordecai, and Brick. While they are un-playable, they serve as the leaders of the resistance and essentially guide you in your efforts to take down the maniacal Handsome Jack. You'll find yourself fighting against them from time to time, but for the most part, they remain as quest-givers.
The plot itself barely goes beyond a revenge story. Handsome Jack has taken control of the Hyperion Corporation and as such, has declared himself the leader of Pandora. Wiping out all resistance in his path and utilizing Pandora's resources to his advantage, the people of Pandora group together to form the Crimson Raiders, bent on eliminating Jack's control on their home. One of the weak points of the original was the lack of a proper story and while Borderlands 2 makes a slightly better effort this time around, it's not a notable one. Luckily, the supporting cast is interesting enough to carry the dull plot and keeps you interested enough to keep pressing forward until the end. The game does boast it's own set of collectibles in the form of audio recordings. Some will tell the story of Pandora in between the games and through the words of the heroes of the original game, while others will focus on the leading cast of Vault Hunters.
The mission structure in Borderlands 2 will be familiar for fans of RPG's. You speak with a specific character to receive a quest and are sent off at their request to do them a favour. One of the biggest annoyances while making my way through the side quests is the constantly recurring "fetch" quests you're sent on. The world is enormous, there is no doubting that, but when you're sent running back and forth across portions of the map only to grab the most redundant items, it becomes a chore.
Easily the most redeeming quality of Borderlands 2 this time around is the absolutely comical dialogue. The conversations to be over-heard between the cast of characters is simply priceless and you can't help but chuckle at some of the topics being discussed. The cel-shaded visuals make a return and while they haven't improved much over the original, the style remains unique and a pleasure to look at.
In accordance with the popular tagline, Borderlands 2 returns with 98 Bajillion more guns for your pure enjoyment and it's here that Gearbox truly succeeds. While there is only a certain amount of weapons to choose from; Assault Rifles, Pistols, Shotguns, Snipers, etc, almost each weapon you find while looting has it's own set of statistics that set it apart from one another and it's almost guaranteed that you won't find another gun identical to the other. The gameplay remains the same and quite honestly for the better as the gunplay was arguably the best part of the series and it's enjoyed even further with a group of friends by your side, eliminating everything in your path.
Borderlands 2 and Gearbox deliver again with the award winning gameplay and ridiculous cast of characters that will keep you occupied for hours on end and while the story might fail to grip the gamer, it does a better job that it's predecessor.

I'm pretty sure there's millions of lesbians, gays, and queer folks heartily disagreeing with you. In fact, I think they've been having sex for quite some time.
As far as 'logical biology', not attempting to sound critical but I believe you mean sex as in sexual intercourse. AKA making babies. You're a guy and assuming by your comment do girls, is it typically your goal to impregnate every woman you sleep with? Probably not. Condom, birth control, whatever, --to be cont. p1-

text: Coal Burning Stove: Winners and losers from the 2014 NFL Draft Coal Burning Stove: Winners and losers from the 2014 NFL Draft Featured Football Pros In the Pros SHARE Matt Welch , May 12, 2014 / 573 0 Source: Getty Images With everything in athletics, there are winners are there are losers. This year's NFL Draft is no different. Some teams made solid picks that were of no particular need to their team. Some teams made picks that were a good pick need-wise but not value-wise. And others, well, they just couldn't capitalize. For this, I'll pick one winner and one loser of the 2014 NFL Draft. Let's start with the loser, shall we. It has to be the Cleveland Browns. I'll be honest, I was rooting for them to have a good draft after the first round. But that's all they had: a good first round. Cleveland first traded out of the No. 4 spot, shoring up some picks for next season from the Buffalo Bills and consequently passing on a dynamic wide receiver in Clemson's Sammy Watkins. But, with their pick, the Browns were able to draft Oklahoma State's Justin Gilbert at corner back with the No. 8 pick in the first round. Then, the Browns traded up from No. 29 to No. 22 to take Johnny Manziel. After round one, I had them as winners. Source: US Presswire/ Factoryofsadness.com Day Two came with the news that star wideout Josh Gordon may be facing a season-long suspension for failing a drug test. Not to worry, though, Cleveland was due up third in the 2nd round and there was a high caliber wide receiver in USC's Marquise Lee sitting on the board for them to take. This move, too, would give Manziel a second top target if Gordon was going to be on the field. It seemed to be a no-brainer. Instead the Browns took an offensive tackle in Joel Bitonio. Cleveland then chose an OLB and a RB in the 3rd and another CB in the 4th. I wanted so badly to believe that the Browns would finally put together a top-notch draft. They had a young QB coming in who could sit behind Brian Hoyer until he was ready. They picked up a lockdown corner to play opposite of Joe Haden. They have a No. 1 receiver in Gordon. They just needed some extra pieces. And they blew it. Sure, they picked up some picks for next season, but Cleveland has been in a downward spiral for years with some upside finally coming their way it seemed. Once again, Cleveland is a loser in the draft. The winners on the other hand could have been a number of teams but, in my eyes, it has to be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccs may not have their quarterback situation figured out but they have two pretty decent signal callers to choose from. The way they drafted, though, will help out whoever is at quarterback. Their first pick was a home run, choosing Mike Evans at No. 7. Evans is a dynamic player who can provide a spark to their passing game, especially with the lack of many dominate No. 2 corners in the NFC South. Source: Cover32.com They followed that up by taking one of the draft's top tight ends in Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins. The Bucs used TE Brandon Myers heftily last season so Seferian-Jenkins could come in and provide a solid redzone target for Josh Mcown or Mike Glennon at QB. With their third pick in the draft, Tampa Bay selected WVU running back Charles Sims. Pairing Sims up with Doug Martin in the backfield gives Tampa Bay a dynamic that they haven't had in a while, a two-back system with a pass-catching back on third down. In 2012, Martin caught 42 passes as a rookie. Last season Tampa Bay running backs caught 52 passes for 272 yards but no scores. Sims can surely help in that department. Then you add in Bobby Rainey, who filled in nicely for the Bucs last season and you have a solid backfield. With their final picks, Tampa Bay drafted a guard, a tackle and a wide receiver – all team needs – to make them my winner of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Aya Restaurant: Sushi
This is Dublin's latest restaurant. The first conveyor belt sushi bar. Inside is very pleasant the staff are friendly even if they have not yet mastered the English language. We were shown to our seats and given a menu whislt we watched the conveyor belt going round with so many delicious dishes on it. The restaurant have a special for 55 minutes you can eat as much as you like for ?24.50 including service charge and a free welcome drink.
Favorite Dish: For 55 minutes you can taste everything.. of course the sushi is catered for the Irish palette. I decided to opt for the Tereki chicken (probably spelt that wrong) and a starter of King size prawns. However l did taste everything my friend had and l must say the all you can eat is a much better option. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes their food and is not on a budget.
Church Bar: Church Bar
Annemarie (Annemariebyrne) offered to meet up with me for dinner and a drink suggesting The Church bar. The bar is set in the former St Mary's church which was one of Dublin's first galleried churches. There is a stunning stain glass window and organ built by Renatus Harris.
The bar is fairly trendy and the drinks are a bit more pricey then you pay in some other bars but surely not as much as temple bar. Do be sure to order food early on a sunday as the kitchen closes at 9pm I think. We did manage to wangle some food 15min after that time & I had the beef and ale stew which Hugh & I thought had a lot of bovril stock and a bit salty. The restuarant upstairs is quite posh and the price reflects that, white tablecloths but I can imagine a very pleasent experience.
The toilets whilst not unisex have no real defined door entrance and you can see into each others wash areas but there are plenty of cublicles so you won't get caught out crossing your legs.
Aya: Wanna spend and be trendy?
Aya is something else in Dublin. Whereas North America has embraced sushi as a cheap and tasty dish, comparable to pizza's, Aya proves that Japanese food is still an expensive delicacy in Europe. It's very tasty, very Japanese (with sushi on a conveyer belt and everything) and very dear. The fact that it's connected to Brown Thomas - Ireland's most posh department store - says it all, really.
Favorite Dish: An assortment of sushi is great here. Actually, everything is tasty.

Great recipe for doctoring up tuna. Used it in a pinch right before my daughter went to school, so I didn't have any eggs. I used less than 3 T mayo and it was great. I only used 1/2 an onion. I was so confident this recipe would make my husband a tuna sandwich lover that I did the open-your- mouth-and-close-your-eyes routine. Okay he didn't appreciate it... and he really doesn't like tuna fish after all. : )
Yum! Simple and good. I really liked the egg in this too. Thanks ChelleBelle1102 for a nice lunch. Made for Cookbook Tag.
quite easy to make and it tastes great! thanks for sharing this recipe!

Owning your own solar electricity system may be too costly or impractical for your situation. And for renters and many condo owners, it's not even an option. But with SolarShares®, everyone can get electricity from the sun without the responsibilities or costs of ownership. Members can participate at levels beginning at $10.75 per month for a 0.5kW system (typically, those with smaller monthly bills). After your monthly fee, the amount of power generated by your share shows as a credit on your bill – expected to average about $5 a month. And that offsets the amount you pay for electricity you normally receive. Use the SolarShares Estimator to see the options that work best for you.
You pay a flat monthly fee to subscribe to SolarShares. The fee is based upon your historical energy use and the share size you select.
You will receive energy credits to your bill for the amount of solar power your SolarShare generates. Both the flat monthly fee and the energy credits from the solar power will be combined on your SMUD bill.
Yes. Since the solar panels are located on a local "solar farm" in Sacramento County, you don't have to own your home to participate. And if you do own your own home, you're still eligible to join. That's great for homeowners whose homes are shaded by trees or whose rooftops are not suitable to install a solar electric system.
If you stay within SMUD territory, you can take SolarShares with you.
Equipment used to convert sunlight into electricity is expensive. SolarShares allows you use solar energy for a reasonable monthly fee and avoid large upfront costs for a rooftop system.
While you will pay a fixed monthly program fee, the offset to your bill will vary each month, according to the season. Your greatest benefit will be on long summer days, when solar output is highest. These are days when you typically pay more for electricity due to high cooling costs. A residential customer with average usage of 9,300 kWh per year would see about a 9 percent increase in their bills over a 12-month period for a 1-kW system.
I was quoted an average increase to my SMUD bill. Why is the impact to my bill different this month compared to last month?
To participate in SolarShares, you will pay a fixed monthly fee depending on the size of your system. Since your SolarShares subscription performs just like a rooftop system, it produces more energy in sunny months than in winter months. Your benefit is greater in summer than in winter. Use the SolarShares Estimator to see the options that work best for you.
A number of factors determine what you will pay for participating in SolarShares: your energy usage, the time when you use it, and the size system you choose. Your neighbor likely has a different power profile and uses energy differently.
The SolarShares system is 1MW, and is estimated produce 1,736,402 kWh per year. Given that solar is clean energy, the corresponding reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is equivalent to planting 307 acres of pine trees.
Both help support renewable power and reduce environmental impacts caused by traditional power sources. They differ in these respects:
- SolarShares is 100% solar generation, where Greenergy is a mix of different types of renewable energy resources, such as wind, water and sun.
- SolarShares is 100% local – the "solar farm" is located in the SMUD service area, yielding local environmental benefits.
- As with owning a solar electric system, you will see a credit on your SMUD bill for the amount of solar energy generated by your SolarShares each month. The amount of solar electricity you get each month depends upon how much the sun shines – more in the summer, less in the winter.
- Your fixed monthly fee for SolarShares will never increase for as long as you are a SMUD customer and remain a member.
Because the sun shines more in the summer and less in the winter, we ask that you stay on the program for a full year to get the true experience of having a solar electric system. After the first year, you can cancel at any time. If you wish to cancel prior to the first 12 months, you will be charged a $100 fee.
