- 2011 Miami Draft Breakdown
- 2010 Miami
Draft Breakdown
The Draft Was ... all about Ryan Tannehill. Considering what Washington paid to get Robert Griffin, Tannehill was a chance worth taking with the eighth overall pick. The rest of the draft seemed to be to upgrade the playmakers for the shiny new quarterback with OT Jonathan Martin in the second round – a total steal – to protect Tannehill, and with TE Michael Egnew in the third, RB Lamar Miller in the fourth, and a great late pick in Michigan State WR B.J. Cunningham in the sixth.
Best Value Pick: OT Jonathan Martin, Stanford, 2nd round
Worst Value Pick: QB Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M, 1st round
They Should've ... traded down to take a chance that Tannehill would fall. Opinions were split on Tannehill and others really, really like Brandon Weeden and Brock Osweiler. There's a chance Arizona would've taken Tannehill at the 13, but no one else would've thought about it until Cleveland's turn at the 22.
Division Draft Ranking: 2
Overall Draft Ranking: 14
First Round
QB Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M 6-4, 221
Overall Pick No. 8 CFN Overall Ranking: 28
CFN Analysis: Everyone wants to dog the pick and everyone wants to worry about what Tannehill isn't. Yes, the No. 8 pick is a big reach, and yes, he needs at least a year or two of seasoning, but almost every rookie quarterback needs a year or two. He's not going to be Andy Dalton out of the box, but there's tremendous upside if Miami is patient enough expect him to start paying off in 2014. The Dolphins desperately need to finally solidify its quarterback situation, and instead of rolling the dice on the 2013 class, they're going to be a year ahead of schedule in the development. At least that's the hope.
Easily the biggest X factor in the draft, outside of way-too-small 9" hands he has all the tools and all the abilities of a prototype NFL starter. The arm is good enough to put the ball all over the field; there's a nice touch on his deep passes; and he's a great leader who had the respect of his teammates and coaches. Throw in the wide receiver athleticism – he started out his career as one of the team's top targets while waiting his turn – and he has it all. However, his draft status is almost all built around projection. He can't be the starter from Day One if someone wants to win right away, and he's going to need at least two years of lump taking before there's a payoff, if there's a payoff.
Every year there's a player who gets moved up the draft boards because he should be good, but it's almost as if scouts are trying to make him a better prospect than he really is. Yes, he provided a spark in 2010 and saved the season, but he threw way too many interceptions last year and wasn't ever accurate enough or consistent enough. The stats were great, but he was almost never clutch for a team that collapsed in fourth quarter after fourth quarter. He's a huge risk who'll set a franchise back years if he doesn't pan out, but quarterbacks with his upside are hard to find.
CFN Projection: Top Ten Overall
Second Round
OT Jonathan Martin, Stanford (Jr.) 6-6, 312
Overall Pick No. 42 CFN Overall Ranking: 16
CFN Analysis: PHENOMENAL value. He's not a blaster at an NFL level and he might not kill anyone, but he's going to be a pass protector for Ryan Tannehill and he was a rock-solid safe pick early in the first round. Early in the draft process there were many who considered him a lock to go in the top 20, if not 15, and while he was one of the biggest sliders he has found a home on the other side of Jake Long. He doesn't have to be the star of the Dolphin line, but he'll be a very, very good starter with a little bit of time.
He'll be one of the biggest calls of the early part of the draft. The size, tools, and talent are all there to be a franchise pass blocker on the right side of the line for the next decade, but he's probably going to be asked to be a star on the left side. However, he still needs lots of work and he looked great being next to guard David DeCastro, possibly the best blocker in the draft. While he needs refinement and he has to prove he can hold up against the flashier speed rushers, he's ready to be thrown to the wolves after spending his career protecting Andrew Luck in a pro-style offense. Can he be a power blocker? Is he a good enough athlete to work on an island against the star speedsters? There are major question marks and there's bust potential for where he'll be drafted, but there's also tremendous upside depending on the scheme and the work he puts in.
CFN Projection: First Round
Third Round
DE Olivier Vernon, Miami (Jr.) (OLB) 6-3, 261
Overall Pick No. 72 CFN Overall Ranking: 178
CFN Analysis: It's a reach pick for the Dolphins, but there's potential and there's reason to take a shot in the early third round. Miami needed more options at outside linebacker and Vernon is a
hybrid who can work as a quick end . Miami Getting bodies on the line was a must and he has the speed to be turned loose as a specialist.
While he could've used another year to prove himself, he almost had to come out early after a rough 2011. Suspended for violating NCAA rules, he missed most of the season and now he has yet to show he can put it all together. A good tweener, he can either be a big outside linebacker or a defensive and could potentially be a major producer at either spot. A pure pass rusher, if nothing else works he could find a role as a specialist with a good burst into the backfield and with the motor to always keep working. A good college player when he was actually on the field, he was never special and could've used another year or two of seasoning. He'll be taken purely on potential, but there's enough there to take a mid-round chance and hope to hit a pass rushing jackpot.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
Third Round
TE Michael Egnew, Missouri 6-5, 236
Overall Pick No. 77 CFN Overall Ranking: 68
CFN Analysis: If the Dolphins are looking for a blocking tight end, that's not Egnew. However, they have a young new quarterback in Ryan Tannehill and he needs safety valves. Going after wide receiver is a must for down the road, but Egnew should grow into a role right away no matter who's under center. He's a pure pass catcher who fits the new wave of tight end oriented offensive schemes.
When he had Blaine Gabbert throwing his way, he was a dominant producer and a sure-thing target on short-to-midrange plays. While he was fine last year with James Franklin under center, he was able to change things up a bit and improved as a blocker. Yes, he got better for the running game, but he's not a blaster of a run blocker and he isn't going to do much to hit at the next level. However, he's willing to do whatever is needed, and with good size and speed, he can find a fit in any offense and can be a solid starter for a long time as a receiving tight end. The potential is there to become a whale of a safety valve.
CFN Projection: Third Round
Fourth Round
RB Lamar Miller, Miami (Jr.) 5-11, 212
Overall Pick No. 97 CFN Overall Ranking: 30
CFN Analysis:
Fast, fast, fast, he was expected to be a 4.4 speedster before the offseason workouts, and then he ripped off a 4.36 in a workout to cement his place as one of the fastest of all the top backs. With good size, the right frame, and excellent athleticism, he looks the part of a franchise back. It's all there, including the quickness to be a devastating kickoff returner if he's looking to find a role right away outside of the offense. While he was a good collegian, he was underutilized and could be just scratching the surface and could be a whale of a value at some point in the middle of the second round. Can he stay healthy? Part of the reason he didn't get the ball enough was because he couldn't handle the load. He won't power over anyone and he doesn't play nearly as fast or as quick as he times. Even so, all the tools are there to become a terrific piece of a puzzle, especially if he's a part of a good rotation.
CFN Projection: Second Round
Fifth Round
OLB Josh Kaddu, Oregon 6-3, 239
Overall Pick No. 155 CFN Overall Ranking: 153
A luxury defender, he's the type of linebacker every coach would love to have, but he'll be one of the last guys to either make a roster or be cut. While does everything with a physical playing style, and he has a great motor to make plays based on hustle, he's also a good athlete who can close on the ball in a hurry. A bit thin, he needs to add about ten good pounds without losing a step. He gets pounded on a big too easily, but he'll stick early on as a key special teamer before finding a role in an outside linebacker rotation. There's plenty of upside for anyone who wants to be patient, but he might not be ready to roll out of the box.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
Sixth Round
WR B.J. Cunningham, Michigan State 6-1, 211
Overall Pick No. 183 CFN Overall Ranking: 196
At a school known for cranking out a great receiver prospects, Cunningham was among the most productive of the lot. A go-to receiver in big game after big game, he always rose to the occasion with a nice career. Strong and with nice size and the ability to use it as he outmuscles and fights for plays. A good football player, the raw tools aren't there with average speed and not enough quickness to blow past any good NFL corner. An okay route runner, he mostly relied on being able to push his way for the ball rather than fly into the open. He'll find a job as an inside target who'll make things happen across the middle, but there's a hard ceiling on what he can become.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
Seventh Round
DT Kheeston Randall, Texas 6-4, 293
Overall Pick No. 215 CFN Overall Ranking: 126
A smallish nose tackle, Randall has no problems against the run and is strong, tough, and holds up well. While he might not be the perfect fit to anchor the middle of the line, he could carve out a nice career as a terrific backup who can find a home on first down and as a spot starter. A smart leader, he'll be great in the locker room and he'll always be reliable; he'll fight through the nicks and bruises. Not a pass rusher, he's a run defender and that'll be about it. However, he gets blocked a bit too easily. At 6-4, he's tall and he often plays like it getting a bit too upright.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round

Carey Price Tebowing? Say it ain't so! Typically during the All-Star shootout events, the fans get a chance to see some of the wilder, more exciting moves out of the shooters. But who would have thought that one of the most exciting moves of the night would come from a goaltender? Instead of trying to rob Islanders forward John Tavares of a stylish shootout goal during the Breakaway Challenge, Price decided he had his own trick up his sleeve. The Montreal goalkeeper dropped to one knee and pulled off Tim Tebow's signature move as Tavares approached the net. Check out...

I need to point out something that the Atlanta coaching staff seems oblivious to. Michael Vick is left handed. Thus he will always look left first and when you have a terrible WR (actually a small blocking TE with terrible hands) on that side you are handcuffing your entire team. Please make the necessary adjustment to allow your franchise superstar QB to be shut down by your own poor decisions, you only put him into the line of fire & force him to run a lot more than he should.
It is time to give up on Dez White as a starter, period. Sure he shows up once or twice a year and makes a big time play, but that is not nearly enough to justify all the terrible plays he makes. This is the second week in a row he dropped a TD pass and he almost dropped the last TD against the Pats too. I don't know who he is doing special favors for but it's time to drop his playing time.

John Aloisi celebrates kicking the winning goal as Australia qualified for the 2006 World Cup by beating Uruguay. Photo: Robert Cianflone
Ever wondered why football goalkeepers almost always make spectacular dives in those nail-biting penalty shoot-outs?
What's more, ever thought about why they often dramatically fail to save the shot. Well, according to the findings of recently published international research, they'd be better off standing still to win the game for their team – a salient lesson in the lead up to this year's World Cup in
The reason they dive appears to involve an age-old question of psychology.
Their decisions boil down to peer pressure: goalies feel that, if they dive, their coach, fans and team-mates will think they've done their all to deflect the shot.
But, after watching hundreds of penalty shoot-outs, researchers concluded they'd be better off literally doing nothing, or more accurately, standing still in the centre of the goalmouth - rather than diving to their left, or right.
If they remained still, they would likely save one out of every three penalties.
Diving to their left, or right, would result in a chance of below 15% in making a successful stop.
How often did the goalkeeper actually stay still?
The research, published in the journal, Progress in Brain Research about a year ago, by Michael Bar-Eli, Ofer H Azar and Yotam Lurie, from
The research team also discovered after interviews with goalkeepers that many felt pressured to 'look' like they were doing 'something' – best demonstrated by flinging themselves at great speed and athleticism to their left or right. There was also the problem that a goalkeeper - beaten by a shot after staying still in the centre - looked as if they had not tried at all.
But what of the penalty takers who missed?
The researchers found the penalty shooters acted in a similar 'rational' manner to goalkeepers.
They discovered that the best thing for a penalty taker was to aim for the highest third of the net, having seen no goalkeepers in the sample footage being able to make a stop upon such a shot. The research group calculated that low shots had a 57% chance of being stopped, while mid-height shots were 30% likely to be saved by a goalkeeper.
So, do most penalty takers aim high?
Of course not.
The belief is that, when the penalty taker aims low and the shot is parried or blocked, it is an 'honourable defeat'. The goalkeeper's superior skill won the day. However, if someone, such as Italy's Roberto Baggio, chooses a time and place - say in the final of the 1994 World Cup - to attempt to pull of a strike in the area most likely not to be saved but misses completely, then they have only themselves to blame.
Not to mention everyone else blaming them too.
With such expected ridicule in mind, it is easy to see why a penalty taker is loathe to aim for the area where there is the least chance a save will be made.
The attempt to perform the seemingly ludicrous, however, is what sets apart the artists of football from the general plodders and hackers.
In a recent interview, the mercurial Dutch and Arsenal great, Dennis Bergkamp, suggested knowingly, "I always tried to lob the goalkeeper. People used to say, 'Oh, you're always only trying to make a nice goal'. But I said, 'listen, if the goalie is a little bit off his line, how much space do you have on his left or right? It's not a lot. And how much space do you have above him? There is more. It's a question of mathematics. It's fantastic. If you get the lob right, you can't miss. You can say it's not effective. But I say it is."
With this evidence and the 2010 World Cup in
Well, if they do, it would suggest rationality only follows the beliefs of the times, and that in time, you can rest assured a wily, creative player will shoot low and to the left during a tense penalty shoot-out, now knowing goalkeepers expect to make heroic saves by standing still.

The objective of adverse event reporting is to gain information about a medical device that assists FDA in protecting the public's health by helping "to assure that such device is not adulterated or misbranded and to otherwise assure its safety and effectiveness" (21 USC 360i(a)). Although the statute uses the words "safety and effectiveness," the specific reporting requirements focus on safety.
In response to the Medical Device Amendments of 1976, FDA created the Mandatory Medical Device Reporting (MDR) program (21 CFR 803) for device manufacturers and importers.10 The implementing regulations became effective in 1984.11 The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 expanded reporting obligations to cover hospitals and other "user facilities" and device distributors. The Medical Device Amendments of 1992 (P.L. 102–300) added definitions of certain terms and established a single reporting standard for device manufacturers, distributors, and user facilities. Subsequently, the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 eliminated most reporting requirements for distributors, although they are required to maintain complaint files that include reports of adverse events (FDA, 2001i; 21 CFR 803.18(d)). The 1997 amendments also provided for a new surveillance system for user facilities as described later in this chapter.12
In 1973, FDA created a limited, voluntary adverse event reporting program, the Medical Device Laboratory Product Problem Reporting Program (PRP). The program was replaced by the mandatory program in 1984 (Gardner and Flack, 1999).
In addition to these requirements, FDA also requires reporting of adverse device reaction and device defect reports under regulations specifying post-approval requirements for manufacturers that are intended "to provide reasonable assurance, or continued reasonable assurance, of the safety and effectiveness" of an approved device (21 CFR 814.82(a)(9)). Reporting is required when the manufacturer learns of (1) a "mix-up" of the device or its labeling with another product; (2) an "adverse reaction, side effect, injury, toxicity, or sensitivity reaction that is attributable to the device" and that either is not covered by the device's labeling or is covered by labeling but is unexpectedly more severe or frequent; or (3) "any significant chemical, physical or other change or deterioration in the device, or any failure of the device to meet the specifications established in the approved PMA that could not cause or contribute to death or serious injury but are not correctable by adjustments or other maintenance procedures described in the approved labeling" (FDA, 2002e, unpaged). If the deterioration or other change can be corrected by procedures described in the device's labeling, then the manufacturer can report the event in its annual report. If reporting is required under these provisions and the MDR provisions, FDA specifies that the MDR provisions shall apply so that duplicate reports are not submitted.
As of July 13, 2005, a "plain language" statement of the reporting rules was in effect, which might change some citations of regulations in this chapter (Federal Register, June 15, 2005, p. 34652).

Three Gondolas seen from Rialto Bridge
Crossing the Rialto Bridge is a must do experience when visiting Venice. And if you have the option to plan it, try to do it at sunset. The houses along Canal Grande look just awesome with the lights and colors. Stay and watch the traffic for a while. Gondolas, Varporettos, taxi boats, and ordinary people cruising in their small speed boats. It's a very busy area. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

White House supports alternative energies
President Bush has nominated a supporter of alternative energy sources to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Dow Jones reported that Pennsylvania Public Utility Commissioner Nora Mead Brownell is a supporter of research into renewable sources of energy and was instrumental in having the Commission create a $21 million fund to be used for investment in clean energy projects including wind, solar and biogas ventures.
The five-member Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulates wholesale power markets and interstate natural gas pipelines.
Meanwhile, the Bush administration has been accused of killing any US role in the Kyoto climate pact. Unnamed sources told Reuters that the White House has told proponents of the treaty - mostly European Union nations - to stop pestering Washington about the US climate change position.
On Tuesday Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Christine Todd Whitman had environmentalists hoping mad over efforts to further distance the United States from the Kyoto treaty.
"She was saying that Bush recognizes the science behind global warming, but not the targets, timetables and lack of developing countries' participation," said one source with a green group. "She said there was no interest in pursuing the Kyoto Protocol, given the opposition on Capitol Hill."

Rising to meet the challenges of understanding ourselves as Autistics in a non-autistic world.
A major challenge that is presented to many Autists in today's society is choosing just where it is they wish to stand within the Autism spectrum.
I can proudly claim my right to be an Aspie and not see this as a disability, or feel the need to change at all to fit into a non-aspergic world.
I can meet with others over the Internet, find a job where I don't have to socialize with others, and indulge my favorite obsessions without messing anyone else's life around.
At the other extreme, I can humbly acknowledge my crushing disability, and make extreme efforts to learn compensatory strategies that will help me become as "normal" as possible to fit in with everyone else.
Neither of these extremes suit me, and I've taken a middle position on the spectrum, which makes sense considering that I have a spectrum disorder!
I'm not sure whether or not having Autism is something that I should bother to analyze rationally by seeking a legally framed story of cause and effect to explain it away, or whether it's just one of the unavoidable hammer-blows of fate?
Or even, perhaps, as some see it, a challenge from the gods, designed to shift me into a different mode of functioning?
I guess in a lot of ways, the difficulty of rising to meet the challenges of understanding ourselves, is no different for us auties and Aspies than it is for the "normal ones" .
The normals still have the luxury (or obstacle?) of being able to hold on to their comforting views of the world, of themselves, of the purpose of life: whereas we are foreigners in a strange world in which we are reminded a hundred times a day that we are visitors to this strange place.
But, could that become a strength?
We may be able to think outside the square – let's face it, we have little choice, since the square may now be closed to us. My need for literal and straight communication meant I had to be skeptical about anything anyone said to me, go back to first principles and seek truth with logic – an unpopular quest in a social milieu where the admission ticket consists of already knowing and accepting the consensus view, however illogical or untruthful it may be.
Can we, whom the gods have chosen to bless with this challenge, make any positive sense of being on the autism spectrum, and painfully carve out a new direction? Was it a divine intervention to force us to learn a very different way of being to the way of most on this planet? Is it all karma for actions we perpetrated in a past life? Can we learn from our dire experiences some new compassion for the suffering many?
I haven't yet completed the long process of making sense of it all, and it will probably take me some years.
But I have found that it helps to keep myself open to the possibility that I needed to learn something, probably many things, from the many unpleasant things that happened over the years – bullying, taunts at school, abusive father, social alienation, constant sacking from jobs to name a few. I hope to gain insights that will make me a better person in a spiritual sense, perhaps that the direction I had been headed in during my recent incarnations was in need of change, and that I needed to take on board some painful humility about the common suffering of humanity which will help me become a more giving, forgiving and compassionate person in the end.

The Asperger's Parenting Obstacle Course…… Why Hair Extensions Are Never A Good Idea.
Some days being a parent is like being expected to run 5 different obstacle courses simultaneously.
It's always one step forward, three steps back.
And no matter what parenting move we might try and make in the present to please our children, it all too often ends up becoming the root cause of a wrong parenting move in the usually not too distant future.
A future that always appears to be, for some odd reason, so much further down the track than it really is.
Hidden out of sight where you can't see it and so have no hope what so ever of making any necessary corrections in the present in order to avoid making, what will eventually become, a wrong move in the future.
For instance……..
After months and months of pleading, I eventually bought my daughter some inexpensive (AKA cheap) clip on hair extensions off e-bay.
She was delighted when they arrived in the mail and for a few short hours, well at least in her eyes; I could do no parenting wrong.
That was until I asked her if they came with any instructions as to how to put them in.
Which of course, being inexpensive, (okay, okay, cheap), they hadn't come with any information of the 'how to' variety.
That was entirely my bad.
So instead of panicking, we found a "how to put in your clip on hair extensions' demo on YouTube".
We watched it together and suddenly I was back to being a wonderful parent again.
That was until I tried to actually clip the hair extensions into my daughter's hair.
At which point she screamed loudly and them promptly expressed her opinion that I was either blind, stupid, hadn't paid attention to the demo closely enough, or was deliberately trying to hurt her.
This of course placed me back in the worst, most stingiest parent in the world ever, camp.
Now this is the parental camp in which I usually spend weeks, months even, existing in.
If any of you have teenagers of your own I'm sure that you will be entirely familiar the place.
Apparently I only further increased my state of residence in this camp by pointing out to my daughter that if she'd tried sitting still and waiting patiently like the model in the demo had instead of wriggling about on her chair, things might now be going a bit smoother in the hair extension department than they currently were.
She of course, was very resistant my logical response and let me know about it in no uncertain but very colorful terms.
At this point I figured 'what the hey', seeing I was already in the bad parenting camp, I may as well make myself a cup of coffee, settle in and stay a while longer.
So I picked up all of the hair extensions that I'd so carefully laid out on the table in order of their size and appropriate application position and walked away.
Dodging her resentful gaze as I went.
Right about that time she finally realized that if she wanted her new shiny and supposedly life altering hair extensions in, that she'd have to start playing nice.
And right on cue, from out of her mouth a whole string of apologies and flattery flew toward me:
"Please mum, I didn't mean it mum,"
"I'll sit still this time mum,"
"I'm sorry I promise mum,"
"You're the best mum in the world for trying."
Yes a child's flattery will get a mother (almost) every single time. So, after letting her know that unless she held true to her word about sitting still the whole deal would be off, I slowly laid the extensions back out on the table and we began again.
And wouldn't you know it? This time it worked.
Her hair looked amazing and she loved it.
Instant hugs.
Status as best ever Mum in the world had been briefly regained and peace in our house had been fully restored while she spent hours (and I do mean hours) admiring herself in the mirror and sending photos of her "new amazing hair" to all of her friends.
But, and you know that there's always going to be a but coming somewhere.
Then it came time to take the hair extensions out.
This news apparently came as a rude shock to her.
She didn't want to take them out.
She loved them.
She wanted to wear them to school the next day so that all of her friends could see them "for real".
I didn't care.
Those bad boys were coming out.
Whether she liked it or not.
Once again out came the charges of "bad parenting" as her outrage at being "made to do something she didn't want to do" bubbled and brewed while she sat unwilling on our kitchen chair as I gently and methodically unclipped her extensions one by one and laid them neatly back on the table.
After I'd finished she glared up at me and said "fine, but I'll be waking you up at 5 in the morning to put them all back in again."
To which I emphatically replied, "No you will not. You are not wearing those to school. They are for special occasions. Not for school."
"But mum, you don't understand. You're ruining my life! I promised everyone that I would wear them to school to show them. Now everyone's going to think I'm a liar and they are going to hate me if I don't wear them."
Silence on my part.
"I hate you.
You're a bad parent.
You don't care about me.
All you care about is yourself".
More silence on my part.
"Okay then, I'll wake you up at 5-30 instead".
At this point I reminded myself to breathe.
"All right, all right, 6 AM then but that's my final offer" she shouts as she storms out of the kitchen and stomps up the stairs to her bedroom.
Following her statement up with the obligatory teenage door slam which works as an exclamation mark for any and all parental arguments.
Ah….. Conversation over. At last. I'm going to bed. Good night.
At 6am the next morning she walks into my room with a cup of coffee ready to hand over to me.
Me, all bleary eyed and slightly confused as to why she's up without my having to drag her out of bed, but admittedly very impressed with the whole coffee angle that she's got going on, till I suddenly remember,
'Oh no, those bloody hair extensions again'.
So there she is hovering menacingly over my bed, with her hands on hips when the sounds of my son beginning to stir down stairs land in my ears.
And I understand right then and there that I'm just simply not up for the same level of fight that she is.
I also know that if I'm to have any hope at all of avoiding said immanent fight, I need to get going on her hair extensions immediately so that I can have them all in place before my son (who needs help showering) requires my assistance.
More infuriatingly, she knows it too because any change in my sons routine can create untold degrees of catastrophe that have a strong tendency to rumble on throughout the entirety of his day.
So call me crazy, call me weak, call me on the fact that I'm setting a bad example for parents all over the world, but right then and there I didn't care whether I was making the right parenting move or the wrong one, whether I was stepping forwards or stumbling back on myself.
I just wanted to get the whole hair extension nightmare that I'd unwittingly created for myself over and done with.
And amazingly the hair extensions went in quickly, with no problems at all and once again they looked fantastic and best of all I still hadn't managed to throw my son's daily routine out of whack.
Yay me.
Apparently, within the space of my daughters school day, a day which I might add I had nothing what so ever to do with, her friends had gone from telling her she looked gorgeous, to being chronically jealous.
Her glory day had turned into a stormy day and yes you guessed it, it was all my fault!
Once again I had "ruined my daughter's life".
Like I said, some days, parenting is like being expected to run 5 different obstacle courses all at the same time.
One step forward, three steps back.
And no matter what parenting move we might make to try and please our children in the present, it all too often ends up becoming the root cause of a wrong parenting move in the future.
Which is why I now say that the future should come complete with rear view mirrors at all times.
Instead of developing thicker skin……..
Instead of developing thicker skin,
I wish the world,
Would instead,
Decide to become,
A little kinder.
Kinder to everyone,
Whether there be differences,
Or similarities,
Kinder to everyone,
Regardless of gender,
Kinder to everyone,
No matter their skin color,
Kinder to everyone,
Whether two or eighty,
Kinder to everyone,
No matter their IQ,
Just think of the world,
You could be living in,
If one day we decided,
To all be a little,
Kinder to everyone,
Kinder to you.
Always Unique… Totally Intelligent… Sometimes Mysterious… Autism…. Asperger's… Keep Calm
Here's a gentle reminder to look at the reality of any given situation rather than falling into the hype created by misunderstandings and sensationalism…..

The Mustang was among the best and most well-known fighters used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Possessing excellent range and maneuverability, the P-51 operated primarily as a long-range escort fighter and also as a ground attack fighter-bomber. The Mustang served in nearly every combat zone during WWII, and later fought in the Korean War.
In 1940 the British approached North American Aviation to license-build Curtiss P-40 fighters for the Royal Air Force. North American offered to design a better fighter, which flew as the NA-73X in October 1940. Production of the aircraft -- named Mustang I by the British -- began the following year.
Mustangs for the USAAF
In the summer of 1941, the USAAF received two Mustang Is under the designation XP-51. Although flight tests of the new fighter showed promise, the USAAF did not immediately order the Mustang. After the personal intervention of Gen. Hap Arnold, however, the USAAF retained 55 Mustangs from a British order. Most of these became F-6A photo-reconnaissance aircraft, which equipped the first USAAF Mustang units, the 154th and 111th Observation Squadrons in North Africa in the spring of 1943.
In March 1942 the USAAF accepted the first production P-51A fighters. Although excellent at lower levels, the P-51A's Allison engines severely limited performance at high altitude. The USAAF employed P-51As in the China-Burma-India theater, where most combat took place at low altitude.
In April 1942 the USAAF ordered an attack version equipped with dive brakes and bomb racks, the A-36 Apache. A-36s entered combat in June 1943 and served in North Africa, Italy and India.
A Winning Combination
In the fall of 1942, Mustangs in the United States and Great Britain were experimentally fitted with British Merlin engines. One in the United States flew a remarkable 441 mph at 29,800 feet -- about 100 mph faster than the P-51A at that altitude. Mass production of the Merlin-powered P-51B and P-51C soon followed (nearly identical, North American produced the "B" in Inglewood, Calif., and the "C" in Dallas, Texas).
In December 1943 the first P-51B/C Mustangs entered combat in Europe with the 354th Fighter Group "Pioneers." By the time of the first U.S. heavy bomber strike against Berlin in March 1944, the USAAF fielded about 175 P-51B/C Mustangs. Along with P-38 Lightnings, these P-51s provided sorely needed long-range, high-altitude escort for the U.S. bombing campaign against Germany.
"Bubble-top" Mustang
The P-51D incorporated several improvements, and it became the most numerous variant with nearly 8,000 being built. The most obvious change was a new "bubble-top" canopy that greatly improved the pilot's vision. The P-51D also received the new K-14 gunsight, an increase from four to six .50-cal machine guns, and a simplified ammunition feed system that considerably reduced gun jams.
The P-51D arrived in quantity in Europe in the spring of 1944, becoming the USAAF's primary long range escort fighter. The versatile Mustang also served as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft. Few
aircraft could match the P-51D -- by the end of the war, Mustangs had destroyed 4,950 enemy aircraft in the air, more than any other USAAF fighter in Europe.
P-51Ds arrived in the Pacific and CBI theaters by the end of 1944. In the spring of 1945, Iwo Jima-based P-51Ds started flying long-range B-29 escort and low-level fighter-bomber missions against ground targets in Japan.
Continuing Development
North American eventually developed a considerably lightened Mustang, which became the P-51H. With a remarkable top speed of 487 mph, it was 50 mph faster than the P-51D. Although it was in production before the war ended, the P-51H did not reach frontline units in time to see combat.
With the last of 555 P-51Hs completed in 1946, the production run of the Mustang ended with over 15,000 of all types built.
Korean War
Although Mustangs continued in service with the newly-formed U.S. Air Force and many other nations after the war, more advanced jet fighters relegated them to secondary status. Many of the USAF's Mustangs (redesignated the F-51) were surplused or transferred to the Reserve and the Air National Guard (ANG).
At the start of the Korean War, however, the Mustang once again proved its usefulness. After the initial invasion, USAF units were forced to fly from bases in Japan, and F-51Ds could hit targets in Korea that short-ranged F-80 jet fighters could not. Mustangs continued flying with USAF, South Korean Air Force (ROKAF), South African Air Force (SAAF) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fighter-bomber units on close support and interdiction missions in Korea until they were largely replaced by F-86F jet fighter-bombers in 1953.
F-51s flew in the Reserve and ANG until they were finally phased out in 1957. Obtained from the West Virginia ANG in 1957, the aircraft on display was the last Mustang assigned to a USAF tactical unit. It is painted as the P-51D flown by Col. C.L. Sluder, commander of the 325th Fighter Group in Italy in 1944. The name of this aircraft,
Shimmy IV,
is derived from the names of his daughter, Sharon, and his wife, Zimmy.

We were only there for one night in winter which is not enough time. We did get to enjoy the delicious breakfast.
5 sur février 12, 2015
Amazing place, with great hosts, you will be living in 18th century with a royal breakfast. Loved everything about the stay from fresh homemade breads, and cookies to cozy(but not tiny) rooms. Ours had a separate entrance which was a plus if you want to have privacy. The Inn has lots of fireplaces and a pool table, that's an antique... There's a lot you can do in the area, so don't hesitate to try it out. Thanks again to Mark, Lynn and Sophie
5 sur janvier 19, 2015
The entire stay was amazing! The room, the food, and most of all the owners!! They are incredible people and make the place special!
5 sur décembre 17, 2014
The Inn had a lot of character and the owners were very accommodating. The breakfast was a 3 course breakfast that was to die for. I will definitely be back.
4,8 sur octobre 30, 2014
Long weekend in the fall, after everything in the area has closed. Lynne and Mark still went above and beyond to provide us a memorable weekend. Any lodge can provide a clean bed and shower, but there needs to be that 'little more' that makes it stand out, and encourages you to return. This place has it. I can write words that describe Marks breakfast feast - you'll just have to try it yourself! See you next year!
4,8 sur octobre 22, 2014
We found The Nutmeg Inn by chance online and couldn't be more thrilled. We will absolutely return. Lynn and Mark are so lovely, helpful and warm. The home is a historic jem! Lynn and Mark go out of their way to make your stay wonderful - especially their homemade breakfast which is beyond compare. I took recipes home! Can't wait to go back!
5 sur octobre 21, 2014
The nutmeg inn was everything we hoped for and more. Mark was an outstanding host. Took us on a tour and talked about the history of the nutmeg when we arrived. The food was gourmet quality and very unique. I would highly recommend the nutmeg and hope to return someday! The rooms were cozy, comfortable and picture perfect!
4,8 sur octobre 14, 2014
Though co-host Mark was wearing a temporary shin cast, this inn is hardly dragging its feet when it comes to charm, entertainment, breakfast, service, and history. Mark's sly wit warms up the welcome, as does the red-felt pool table guests can enjoy. There's a nice one-mile forested residential loop one can take to work up a breakfast appetite--you'll need it!
3,8 sur octobre 04, 2014
We stayed at The Nutmeg Inn for one night and had a great time! The hosts made you feel very welcome! Our room was clean and quaint! Had a great time!
4,6 sur octobre 01, 2014
We arrived at about 5 in the afternoon on Thursday and Mark was out in the driveway to greet us. We were in Meredith for a motorcycle weekend so Mark was talking about the bikes and riding. Shortly after Lynn came out also to greet us and talk. All in all we were all very satisfied with our stay there and will be going back.

24 CFR 1000.546 - Are audit costs eligible program or administrative expenses?
Yes, audit costs are an eligible program or administrative expense. If the Indian tribe is the recipient then program funds can be used to pay a prorated share of the tribal audit or financial review cost that is attributable to NAHASDA funded activities. For a recipient not covered by the Single Audit Act, but which chooses to obtain a periodic financial review, the cost of such a review would be an eligible program expense.
Title 24 published on 2014-04-01.

Protein secretion plays a central role in modulating the interactions of bacteria with their environments. This is particularly the case when symbiotic bacteria (whether pathogenic, commensal or mutualistic) are interacting with larger host organisms. In the case of Gram-negative bacteria, secretion requires translocation across the outer as well as the inner membrane, and a diversity of molecular machines have been elaborated for this purpose. A number of secreted proteins are destined to enter the host cell (effectors and toxins), and thus several secretion systems include apparatus to translocate proteins across the plasma membrane of the host also. The Plant-Associated Microbe Gene Ontology (PAMGO) Consortium has been developing standardized terms for describing biological processes and cellular components that play important roles in the interactions of microbes with plant and animal hosts, including the processes of bacterial secretion. Here we survey bacterial secretion systems known to modulate interactions with host organisms and describe Gene Ontology terms useful for describing the components and functions of these systems, and for capturing the similarities among the diverse systems.

Even the most fabulous collections, programs, and services can all languish underutilized and ill-attended without effective promotion. At times, even the most creative among us can become stymied and fall into a rut, relying on the same promotional techniques for all library offerings. Considering other public libraries' successful promotions, along with their underlying marketing principles, can help infuse new life in stale routines. This article presents ten guidelines for effective promotion, illustrated by real library practices.
