Without a doubt, the most genius decision that would have UPSET Bama in the NC game would have been to ... Start Mettenberger and go 5 wide for the first couple of series. WOW .... Bama would have been LOST and confused!!! BUT...instead ... we know the rest of the story. GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Now that I have thought about and read what has/was going on, I am ready to pass judgement. If Payton and Williams knew they were in trouble and lied more to keep doing what the knew was wrong. Then they get what they deserve!!! As for my Saints, I think Benson should fire Payton and Vitt and get rid of ANY player that participated in this. Let Carmichael or Spagnoula become the head coach. I would rather lose with dignity and pride in a clean/honest game, than win a Super Bowl and have it TAINTED they way it will be FROM NOW ON!!! Don't be surprised if the media does not try to get the NFL to take away OUR title!!!
If TRUE - - Brees, take your greedy butt else where. Payton and New Orleans made you a wiiner. You weren't one in SD. Think you will go to Seattle, Miami or Washington and win 13 games - LOL. You will be luck to win 8 and throw 28 tds!!! Players that are greedy, deserve to move on to BAD teams and lose!!! GEAUX SAINTS!!!
Actually, he should have played more this past year, probably should have been the number one QB. He will have a great season and so will the Tigers. I see 12-2 or 13-1 !!! Replace Miles - Why? He WINS!!! ; 75-18 at LSU . . . FIVE of 7 times in the top EIGHT in the country . . . What in the world is wong with 10.7 wins every year!!! I will stay with Miles. GEAUX TIGERS!!!
If they win out and get to 20-10, they could be in the top 50 of the RPI. If they win 1 in the SEC tourney, that could get them in the NCAA tourney. If they win 2, I think they will get to the NCAA tourney!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!
LSU wins their last 4 games, against even or lesser teams, will bring a NCAA BID!!! That would make LSU 20-10 and probably a top 45 RPI. They will also have a 'hot' team coming into the NCAA tourney, which is always a plus. Don't count this team out yet. This team needs better guard play, they already have a quality front line. Better rebounding would help. GEAUX TIGERS!!!
This must be a joke. JJ is going to the combine as a QB!!! He is NO passing QB and is not near the athlete to be a Tebow or Vick in the NFL. Maybe they will try to make him a TE or DE. That would be the only positions he could make it. Jarrett Lee did not show enough to make it and that is fine. Though he was a much better player for LSU this past season than JJ was. Jarrett Lee got us to the NC game, had JJ played the whole season. I truly believe we would have lost 2 games with him as the QB.
Bama can keep him and his girlfriend!!! I would not want him, his heart would not be in it. He will probably get her pregnant and they will both be working for Burger King in 3 years IF he is not an ALL - SEC player.
Miles comment, 'We had confidence in Jarrett Lee but we felt we needed a quarterback who could move his feet.'??? Are you kidding me??? Yes, he moved his feet so fast that he could not stand still to COMPLETE a pass!!! JJ was horrible and to make that kind of ASSININE statement is a deafetest attitude!!! At the start of the 4th quarter you are losing 0-15 and your QB is GARBAGE in ALL phases of the game and you don't want to TRY TO WIN by chanining QBs!!! DANG - - You go with Lee and go FIVE wide spread and THROW the ball. What would have been the WORST thing that could of happened??? I like Miles, but this incident and the way the offense played changes my opinion. He is a good coach with GREAT talent. I think I could coach these guys with only my high school experience and win 10 games!!! We will be a top 5 team next year. IF he screws up this team and we are NOT in the NC talk by the end of the year - He will be gone!!!
He is another spoiled athlete who liked the attention he was getting. He has now changed his mind 3 times over the last 3-4 months. Watch - If he doesn't start in a year, he will probably transfer!!! LSU doesn't need him, we have 2 or 3 good QBs already on the roster. He would have been an asset to this team, but we will win the NC next year without him.
LSU number one - NO!!! Top 10 - YES!!! We are losing 3-4 starters on both sides of the ball. We have lost the most proficient 'option' and 'sack eluding' QB in LSU history. !@#$ We will have an UNPROVEN QB. Our defense and special teams will have to carry this team until the QB is battle tested. Probably 2-3 games before he gets comfortable. I just hope Miles and the OC don't try to make him an 'option' type QB!!! GEAUX TIGERS!!!
I have heard 3 or 4 rumors about LSU and the game on Monday night. I will not repeat any of them due to the fact that they are rumors. One did come true, R. Shephard is leaving LSU due to his playing time and other things. He was too good not to be on that field. Why did JJ carry more than our other running back combined? The LSU team that took the field Monday night was not the same team that went 13-0. Something was not right and I hope it comes out, but probably will not. 2012 #1 - - GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Total BS - Jefferson was sacked 4 times and lost a fumble. Bama had 8-9 players within 5 yards of the LOS. They dared Jefferson to throw because they know he can't throw. JJ was a BAD throwing QB most of the time, on his good games he was a little above average. I am still pissed we did not try something different either at QB or play calling. If they are stuffing the run - GO TO 5 WIDE spread and pass the ball. Miles and OC would rather lose with Jefferson than try to win with Lee. That is the way I saw it. I also think the failure of the offensive coaching decisions COST LSU a National Championship!!!
Defense played as well as they could considering they were on the field for 40 minutes of the game. The offense LOST this game, plain and simple. Miles and OC were WRONG about not trying to get a spark in the 3rd quarter with Lee. Miles would rather lose with Jefferson to prove his point that Jefferson is the better QB. He did not even want Lee in the game. If he puts Lee in and all of a suddent the offense starts moving the ball and scores. It makes his decision about Jefferson WRONG and he does not want to prove himself wrong in any capacity.
YES, you are correct on all accounts. Jefferson has NEVER been a 'good' qb, only 'Average' at best. He has had 2 or 3 good passing games. He misses wide open receivers EVERY game. His ability to run the option - realyy!!! He tossed the ball before the defender even made his move, so he would not get hit. Jarrett Lee - you were 9-0 and had this team number ONE in the country - Thank you.
You have to remember one thing about a Head Coach. They are a 'Dictator', what they say goes and should not be questioned!!! Miles was going to win or lose with Jefferson - no matter what. Lee was NOT going to SAVE this game, Miles would make sure of it. In the Georgia game, Jefferson was HORRIBLE, but Miles left him in and the Defense and Special teams won that game for LSU - NOT Jefferson.
These 'anarchists' better not start occupying homes!!! If they do this, our police/government should move quickly and harshly. This OWS movement might have been a good idea at first, but has turned completely unacceptable to rational Americans. If they(ows) are mad at wall street and the rich, protest at the Capitol building. Congress makes the laws, not wall street. If you don't like the rich, because they are successful and you arent'. Sorry - Tough SHIIIITTTT!!! Instead of being lazy and protesting for 2-3 months. If you were working, you could genereate spending and help the economy. This ows is a flop and they are looking to TAKE what they want. They know our idiotic president will do nothing, because 99% of these liberal, socialist anarchits will vote for him. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
LSU has NO chance of beating Bama twice in the same year. Bama has FIVE All-Americans, LSU has ONE !!! How can we compete against BAMA a second time? PLUS Jefferson is a BAD throwing QB when he has any pressure on him. Expect 8-9 in the box for Bama. I am afraid of this game. We will HAVE to win the special teams game - BIG!!!
Thanks to the running game, we came away with a decisive win!!! JJ has shown again, that he is a BAD throwing qb. If we ever get behind and HAVE to throw the ball, he will NOT be able to do it.
Was that the idiot who kept voting Boise number one the whole year? Boise should not be in the top 10. We have 3 big games left to play. Ole Miss will be tough - ONLY - because it is before Arkansas.

The Nativists
Around the country, an anti-immigration movement is spreading like wildfire. An array of activists is fanning the flames
By Susy Buchanan and Tom Kim
One of them says he'd like to bring nuclear weapons to the border. Another vows to stop the alleged Mexican invasion of Idaho. Several have links to white supremacist hate groups; others are given to dire warnings of horrible diseases, "barbaric" practices, and secret Latino conspiracies to "reconquer" the American Southwest. These are the nativists -- the new crop of activists who are driving the movement that exploded last spring with the Minuteman Project in Arizona, a month-long effort by armed civilians to seal the border with Mexico. Along with a whole array of media enablers (see Broken Record and Nativism On Air), they have barged into the nation's consciousness with remarkable success. Some of them, like Minuteman co-founder Jim Gilchrist, have made attempts to win high political office. Others have contented themselves with trying to build a mass movement. Not all those who have joined the movement are extremists -- many are legitimately concerned about the ability of the nation to absorb large numbers of immigrants, particularly the undocumented. But one thing seems clear: A dangerous mix of nativist intolerance, armed and untrained civilians, and wild-eyed conspiracy theories could easily explode into violence.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Director of Kent State's Wick Poetry Center Inspires at TEDx Akron EventPosted Feb. 17, 2014
David Hassler, director of Kent State University's Wick Poetry Center, received a surprising call in October. The organizer of TEDx Akron, an independently organized offshoot of the national TED conferences, wanted Hassler to give a speech at the November event.
"It literally only gave me about four weeks advance notice to prepare a 17-minute talk," Hassler says.
Hassler had to quickly learn the mechanics of giving a TED talk, including the "arc" of discussion and the strict timeframe.
"It was more challenging than I thought it would be because I'm not used to having a timeframe to talk," he says. "I had a real sense that it was very verboten to go over 17 minutes. This invisible cane would come out and wrap around my neck and pull me off the stage."
Fortunately, no cane yanked him off the stage, and Hassler's "Giving Voice: The Conversation of Poetry" speech was a success. He centered on group poetry and the discussions that come from writing and collaborating. Hassler discussed the "aha moment" that happens when writers feel the spark of their creativity and connection with a peer.
His talk focused on an experience in 1995 working with a 5th-grade class at St. Sebastian in Akron.
"That truly has been a bottomless source of inspiration, humbly looking back at that first day of walking into a classroom, having no real plan," Hassler recalls. "I learned from the children in that class how a group poem can be triggered and what works and how we are most inspired."
Hassler says he regularly draws inspiration from many of his peers, from the Wick Poetry Center's former director, Maggie Anderson, to his own 5th-grade teacher, as well as poets of the past and people he connects with through the pages of his writing.
"When I teach and help inspire others, the effectiveness of my teaching is partly all the influences of the people who have shaped and informed me," Hassler says. "There's a long chain always stretching way back, and we are just a part of that. That's really the greater satisfaction: It doesn't begin and end with me."
Hassler says presenting his TEDx talk was a part of this conversation about writing and sharing.
"It was almost a ritualistic way to formalize and give voice to that sense of a larger chain," he says. "I could say my TEDx talk was a gratitude talk to being in this larger conversation."
Hassler's speech continues to affect others, garnering 1,286 YouTube views as of Feb. 12. He calls the feedback "wonderful and surprising" as he received emails from friends and strangers reacting to the speech. The most significant response came from a woman who was in that 5th-grade class in 1995. The woman, now a special education teacher near Canton, said she remembers the experience of writing poetry that day. Hassler now has plans to visit her classroom this semester.
"It's wonderful to think of my message being passed on," Hassler says. "Poems are a wonderful way of keeping gifts in motion."
Hassler says he appreciates the exposure and conversations created by YouTube and the TEDx website. YouTube views aside, he says the Wick Poetry Center, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in September, will continue to focus on the fundamentals.
He wants to use digital technology to bring in "the oldest technology, which is literally writing and, before that, language itself," Hassler says. "I don't ever want the newer digital technology to replace the value of being physically present with each other and using that presence to inform others how we create and inspire."
Participating in the local TEDx talk has stirred in Hassler the desire to give a speech at a national TED event. He says the stories of the Wick Poetry Center and Kent community, his hometown and current residence, deserve to be told.
"I've lived abroad, and I've lived in many different places around this country, and I chose to come back to Kent," says Hassler, who received his bachelor's and master's at Cornell and Bowling Green State University, respectively. "It has a deep, resonate feeling for me to have the opportunity to work in this community. I think that Kent has a story to tell about our creativity."

Plan Your Oscar Party With Our Recipe Blowout: 9 Themed Menus
By MouthFromTheSouth on February 21, 2013
BlogHer Original Post
The Academy Awards are coming up on Sunday. Whether you're planning a blowout Oscar-watching party or just kicking it with a few friends, here are some menus that are inspired by the nominees for Best Picture.

Sit back, have a drink, eat a tasty meal, and queue up Twitter (#oscarsnark seems appropriate). Snarking on the fashions, booing or applauding the winners, or just counting the times the camera goes back and forth among Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie is so much more fun with friends.
Zero Dark Thirty
This movie starts with the anguished calls from people trapped inside the World Trade Center and ends with a gripping scene--shot in virtual real time--of the raid on Bin Laden's compound. Spoiler: Bin Laden dies. I wouldn't recommend this as a first-date movie unless both of you happen to be seasoned CIA operatives.
Zero Dark Thirty is full of dark, depraved moments of suspense and tension. It's very Hitchcockian in that even the "normal" scenes can make you wary and tense. If you saw the movie, you were probably gripping your seat with a racing pulse the whole time. You're going to want something to balance that. I suggest a spread of food coma-inducing comfort food.

Silver Linings Playbook
I love romantic movies that are strange and almost absurd. And while I haven't yet seen this movie, any movie that can combine rabid and OCD Philadelphia Eagles fans, running in garbage bags, Hemingway, ballroom dancing, a compassionate yet somewhat realistic view of mental illness, and a love connection between two broken people is a movie I want to see. Plus, when you have Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Robert DeNiro in a movie, you're going to be entertained.
The Eagles football team show up a lot more often in this movie than they did in the "Win" column in 2012, and Bradley Cooper's mom is constantly making "crabby snacks and homemades" for them to eat during the games. This menu wouldn't be complete without some foods from Philly. I'm including recipes for Philly Cheesesteaks and Butterkuchen. People of Philadelphia, please don't ask for my head on a stick if they're not the "right" version. And I am not even going to touch the Pat's vs. Geno's debate.
For the cocktail, it has to be a Hemingway Daiquiri. And whatever you do, do not play Stevie Wonder's 'My Cherie Amour' while making or eating this meal.

Spoiler alert: Lincoln dies.
A menu for the movie Lincoln presents some challenges. I thought about featuring foods popular in Illinois, but President Lincoln seems much too noble to be noshing on a Chicago-style hot dog, and he was certainly too busy to sit down for a four-hour meal at Alinea. I also considered pitting a Yankee-themed dinner against a Southern-themed feast. This seemed like a marvelous way to pretend to be all-inclusive while simultaneously offending everyone.
One of the things that I found interesting in doing research on President Lincoln was that there is a little bit of controversy about his diet. Some people say he was very indifferent to food. Others say that he enjoyed good food, but was so preoccupied with the weighty matters of the day that he never complained about the food he was served.
Some facts that aren't in dispute are that President Lincoln loved honey, nuts, and apples. He loved chicken fricassee with biscuits so much that his wife once hired a cook because that was the lady's specialty. Abe was also a teetotaler, but I honestly can't imagine this dinner without a cocktail of some kind. It's a wonderful menu to eat while watching Lincoln or before attending a play.

Remote Viewing God, Religion, and Life / The End Game
For nearly two decades, the PSI TECH team has been on a journey that has brought the companyĺs principles face to face with answers to some of the most fundamental questions asked by man. PSI TECH's President has operated as Vice President and President, Primary Remote Viewer & Project Manager for PSI TECH for over a decade. In serving to fulfill the company mission, she has encountered many unusual discoveries as a result of her explorations of Intel gathering employing her skills and the companyĺs specialized Technology of Technical Remote Viewing. The discoveries include that we are not alone in the universe. We share this mystery called life with a vast assortment of intelligent, sentient beings. That there is indeed life after physical death and that we do possess an essence called the soul. Through extensive project work on optimum trajectories Joni has explored the conundrum of time, free will, and destiny. Each of these remarkable discoveries has opened up new avenues of perception and exploration, avenues that eventually led PSI TECH to the ultimate quest: the quest to answer one of the greatest mysteries of all time: Why are we here?
This is an Interview with PSI TECH's President & TRVUĺs Director of Training in August 2005. Interview by Kimberly Snow.
Snow: With all of the work youĺve done on optimum trajectories, did you find a common thread that runs through all of the sessions that might indicate that there is a specific purpose for our species?
PSI TECH: According to the many life trajectories and optimum trajectories that Iĺve tasked my Remote Viewers with in addition to the trajectories that Iĺve performed myself, it became apparent that there are broad variations with regard to individual life purpose. For example, some people had many paths of possibilities open to them. Some had just two or three, and occasionally I would see a person with only one path available. Those with only one path were rare, but they were the ones who were essentially assigned to a particular destiny and there was no wavering off their path. All of the different life paths were very diverse in course and purpose, and each path was intrinsically intimate and immaculately tailored to its person. It seems that each person has their own point of purpose and that there are no generalities that apply with regards to the specific individual purpose.
Snow: Would you find out your purpose by using an optimum trajectory cue?
PSI TECH: To discover a personĺs individual life ôpurposeö the target is cued as ôName of person / purpose of lifeö. However when ôpurposeö is targeted as a general term and not specific to an individual person the target is cued ôthe Purpose of Lifeö. The latter example of the general cue rendered data that ôpurpose of lifeö appears to be quite different for different folks. There is one commonality that was found, with regards to human evolution, but generally speaking, it appears that people are here on earth and alive for different reasons. For example, in one case the data showed a woman with children at her feet pulling at her dress. Another showed a mechanic type person in his garage inventing something new. Another was a person writing. And it went on and on like this as if to point out the intrinsic uniqueness that we seem to overlook about ourselves.
Snow: I find this to be a very important aspect of the data, because a lot of people would consider some jobs more insignificant than others, and this data suggests otherwise. For instance, in the example you gave of a mother with children tugging on her dress, a housewife for example, people might consider her job less significant than an inventorĺs role, or a doctorĺs role. And what youĺre suggesting is that living a life that entails simply being a mom, and putting all your energy into that role, is as important to this world as being the President, or a brain surgeon.
PSI TECH: What has always permeated the data with regard to these targets is that thereĺs so much more to our lives than we are aware. Human evolution is a grand project and each one of us is so unique. There are plans and agendas in place that provide destinies and meaningful purpose for our lives. All of which are immersed as blueprints in the Matrix. This isnĺt chaos weĺre experiencing, in fact, itĺs just the opposite. It may appear to be chaos on the surface but when you start probing, you keep running up against this grand tapestry of plans. There are moments and incidents of chaos, like where the cards may land after they are thrown into the air but then you discover that the throwing of the cards was a planned event.
Snow: And you never know who is going to make a difference?
PSI TECH: People donĺt realize because of their unconscious blinders. However, those who are going to make a difference are usually destined to do so. Perhaps in the case of somebody who is going to make a big difference, that person would be assigned a mother, who specifically has taken on her role to raise her child in a particular way. So her job has just become important. She might be the one you see in a session and question, ôHer purpose is to only be a mother, thatĺs her optimum trajectory?ö With TRV we can look at why her primary purpose is to Ĺjust be a mother?ĺ We find that the more our questions get answered, the more a grand plan reveals itself. A very comforting realization that we discovered was that we are not alone. I mean, we are really not alone. We have lots of company, and lots of help available to us.
Snow: Are students who do sessions on their purpose in life able to recognize data which can help them not only identify what their purpose is, but also how to specifically achieve that purpose?
PSI TECH: I was often surprised by the life purpose data that was gathered for or by others. I never saw one optimum trajectory or life purpose session go unrecognized by the person for whom it was intended no matter how surprising it seemed to me.
Snow: Some say our goal in life is to increase the quality of life for others. Did you find anything in the data to indicate that this is true?
PSI TECH: This is true for some and yet doesnĺt appear to be very significant for others. However, the reason for this apparent inequality could lie in the eyes of the onlooker. It may be that the folks who are firmly on their course of evolution inadvertently increase the quality of life for others as they grow and inspire others. Therefore the idea to directly help others may not crop up as a primary role for them because their influence is secondary and the result of another activity.
Snow: Is it bad to live your life with the primary goal of personal gain and wealth for just you, or your family? Is this selfish?
PSI TECH: I think that itĺs not our call to judge another persons goal unless their behavior is hurting people.
Snow: Iĺve read about billionaires who have every earthly comfort they could possibly dream of, and yet theyĺre miserable.
PSI TECH: The TRV technology offers each individual the opportunity to look closely to see the differences between the billionaireĺs misery and the poverty stricken folkĺs misery. I have seen that misery is misery, and the fact that a person looks to another as if the other has something that they canĺt have is more of a devolved cultural conditioning. To look to the external world for answers that apply to the internal reality is like looking to the question for the answer. This act only creates an endless cycle of frustration and produces no real answers. This destructive behavior has risen to epidemic proportions in Western culture. It reaps confusion and debilitating circumstances.
Snow: What about when bad things happen to good people? Do these things happen for a reason? Do these bad events contain lessons for us to learn to evolve to a higher level? Or is it just random bad luck?
PSI TECH: What I have found with regard to the appearing contradictions you present here is that one can not make sweeping judgments about the way things appear, and be accurate. Itĺs essential to be able to look at all the underpinnings and circumstances in order to understand why an apparent ôbad thing happenedö to a ôgood personö. As human beings, thereĺs so much that we donĺt see or acknowledge, and to top that off weĺre constrained to our present time as well. Each instance that Iĺve used TRV to investigate seemingly unjust situations I discover a lot more information that always illuminates an underlying system of order that seems to keep track of everything. The discovered information is always recognized at some level by the participants involved as well--sometimes begrudgingly so.
Snow: Based on TRV data, does God exist?
PSI TECH: In my opinion, we have unmistakably confirmed that there is a higher intelligence and order to the universe.
Snow: So how much of the Christian Bible is real?
PSI TECH: Some of it appears to be real events and some of it appears to be story that people created over time. According to our research, the bible is story mixed with factual events.
Snow: So is it a vital religious document for us to read? Is it important that we read it, for our spiritual development?
PSI TECH: I donĺt know if reading the bible is important or essential to spiritual growth. It certainly has created a deep and wide path in the Matrix, but Iĺm not so sure that it has lead all people to goodness and God.
Snow: I understand you did a target of the week for your students to find out if God was the original author of the Christian Bible. Do you remember the session data?
PSI TECH: Yes. We surmised that parts of the Bible were inspired by God, and other parts werenĺt. The data just confirmed what we had already discovered in our previous in-house project.
Snow: The translation of the Hebrew word for sin, or ôchaitö, is error, or mistake, or missing the mark (as in archery). If you have a purpose in life, and you never learn what it is in order to follow it, I would think that is sort of sinning in a way, according to that definition.
PSI TECH: Most of the time the idea of ôsinö refers to a particular doctrine in religion or law. However TRV offers a clean fresh view into your own mind, soul, spirit and destiny. If you donĺt know whether you are sinning against your own intrinsic moral code then it is definitely time to get to know yourself better. TRV makes the process of self-examination accessible and immediate. Itĺs an excellent tool for self discovery.
Snow: There are so many different forms of religion in the world. Are any of them the right one? For example, is being a Christian more right than being a Muslim, or Buddhist?
PSI TECH: Once we become TRVers we broaden our view of reality. We can look to see what happened when and to whom. Then we can evaluate for ourselves which religion is the most fact based. As Iĺve mentioned before, weĺve found that many of the religious incidents as they were recorded in their respective doctrines have pieces of fact intertwined with lore. It seems to me that as time marches forward these stories are interpreted according to the cultural acuity of the time. In my opinion itĺs time to stop arguing over which religion is more accurate and look within to discover our own individual spiritual code that is written within each of our unique blueprints in the Matrix.
Snow: Who was Jesus Christ? Was he really the son of God, or God incarnate? Is our only way to God through Christ, as some religions claim?
PSI TECH: According to TRV data, Jesus of Nazareth was a very special person indeed. He was endowed with a special mission from God. How the events were recorded and what he said is in question. However when people TRV Jesus of Nazareth; they always have an emotional reaction to the tremendous love that Jesus carried in his heart for humanity. TRVers should continue to investigate the life of Jesus and his experiences and not just stop after only discovering that he was a real person. As far as being saved through him, that is personal and if I were to tell you about what I found out personally, I would be no different then any other person who proselytizes. The point is that TRV offers the opportunity for people to find out for themselves instead of relying on the interpretation and experiences of others.
Snow: Are we supposed to be willing and obedient to God? Does he want that?
PSI TECH: Like we would to a father I suppose but not to the point of not exercising our free will. I never got the sense that God was a tyrant.
Snow: In other words, he doesnĺt want us to be robots where we just love him because we know if we donĺt weĺll go to hell.
PSI TECH: No. Thereĺs definitely a respect there, that we are endowed with free will to grow as we will. The thing that is so surprising to me in the data is that when we ask for help, we receive it. Itĺs whether we can see the help through our blinders that becomes our problem.
Snow: Back to my original question about mankindĺs purpose. When I asked if you had found a common thread in the TRV data that links us all with a collective purpose as a species, you said there was one with regards to our evolution. What is it?
PSI TECH: The one general characteristic that appears in everyoneĺs path that Iĺve seen thus far is that each individual is to manifest their life in their own unique and dynamic way - to live life to its fullest capacity. Itĺs here that the idea of Ĺevolutionĺ always presents itself as a magnificent tapestry of a grand weave. It seems that the overall point to all human life on earth is to evolve on an individual level as well as a species.
Snow: So to be fully in the moment?
PSI TECH: Yes, that helps!
Snow: So weĺre talking about consciousness here. An evolution of consciousness itself.
PSI TECH: I am reminded of one piece of TRV data that stood out which was how the universe reflects itself from the grandest to the smallest element. The largest part of the universe, the most complex activity, is also reflected in the tiniest single molecule.
Snow: That reminds me of a William Blake poem: ôTo see a World in a Grain of Sand, And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand, And Eternity in an hour.ö Why is this so important?
PSI TECH: Why would consciousness be so important? When a child begins to develop his consciousness, anywhere between about five and six years old, he becomes aware and conscious of himself, as opposed to being connected to his mother. The moment that he becomes conscious, and realizes that he is separate from his mother, he starts to exercise autonomy and choice. When we as individuals begin to exercise choice weĺre doing something different. We are exercising creativity that stems from hidden roots
Snow: And only at that point can we truly express our free will?
PSI TECH: Yes.
Snow: When we can make choices.
PSI TECH: Yes. Thatĺs an essential piece of evolution. Each time we make a choice we should discover and grow more aware of ourselves. To know ourselves is to know God.
Snow: I would think, also, that those opposing forces wouldnĺt want us seeing things like a child--seeing a reflection of God and the complexity of his plan in even the smallest things, and in each other, as a species--because it brings us closer to an understanding that everything is connected, and that if I hurt you, youĺre hurting me.
PSI TECH: Oh yes, every time we donĺt learn from something, we loose the power to do anything about it. That is how an adversary wins by stunting people from growing. As people engage in a systematic brainwashing they subject themselves to ignorant tactics that eventuate in an implosion of their own personal energy.
Snow: Whatĺs the end game? Whatĺs the prize? I mean, if we follow this purpose to its end, to the end of evolution, what do we have? An ultimate awareness of the connectedness of all things? That everything is connected?
PSI TECH: Everything is connected and we are all by virtue, pieces of God. We are pure drops of God. The interconnectedness is a given. The lesson is that each piece of God experiences its own unique personality. Itĺs like the stem cell. We start out as a little piece of god and then we actualize into personalities and characteristics that make each piece dynamic and different. We are Gods children.
Snow: The next evolutionary change in human beings, the next leap, do you think it will be a physical leap?
PSI TECH: You canĺt really separate physical from mind. We think we can, but we canĺt. Once we affect one, the other is affected. So, yes, I think itĺs going to be a leap of consciousness, but it will also affect the body.
Snow: Do you think it will be just a small group of people? Or do you see it as an evolutionary leap of our entire species.
PSI TECH: It would have to be a species leap for it to be evolutionary, although it starts with a small group. Itĺs already started. You see how quickly remote viewing spread?
Snow: So in addition to recognizing and honing our intrinsic uniqueness, itĺs important to focus on the moment, focus on living life to the fullest in the moment, and become more aware of the little things around us. Seeing the universe in a leaf, for example. Would that be a step in the right direction for people who are asking, ôYou guys have seen this TRV data--how can I start to evolve? I want to reach a higher level than I am now.ö
PSI TECH: That would be the way. Everything that happens is important. It sounds overwhelming, but itĺs true. Itĺs not only that some things are important. Everything is important. Everything you do. Every moment you live. It really is a gift to be here.

Coronation Street
Being a mum can be tough. Poor Katy knows that more than anyone at the moment. On the verge of breakdown because of the constant pressure, she runs out on poor Joseph, leaving the poor tot crying alone again.
This time, however, she's caught by Faye, and desperately tries to cover, asking her to look after Joseph.
Faye takes over, quite content and even manages to quiet Joseph down. She puts some toast under the grill and nips out to get some milk but the door slams behind her. Smoke begins to billow from the room. She's set the house on fire – with a baby inside.
Fortunately, Owen is back just in time and breaks the door down, saving the day. But that's not the end of the drama. Far from it. When Katy arrives back and sees the grim faces, she knows she's in for a bad time.
Owen can't control his temper (surprise, surprise) and gives her an earful about how she and Chesney are too young to look after a baby. Stung and wounded, Katy simply runs away. Chesney is left holding the baby and fending off Owen's anger, completely unprepared with how to proceed.
Soon everyone's confusion and anger turns to concern as they realise Katy really has gone AWOL. Will she come back? Come on Katy, don't let them grind you down.
Also this week: Tommy is rejected by Tina once again and goes on the pull. Unfortunately, he pulls a bit of a bunny boiler, which doesn't help when Tina decides to give him a chance after all…
As we've said before, there's one person on the square you don't want to mess with – Derek Branning.
By the looks of him, Derek used to be a Boxer (the dog, not a pugilist). Anyway, having messed with his brother Jack, who does Roxy decide to mess with? That's right, Derek.
Derek is already out for her blood following the way she stitched Jack up in court. But Jack protects her, and when he finds out Derek has sent some blokes out to put the frighteners on her, he's furious.
In a bizarre twist Derek apologises, and says to Jack that he's got an estranged daughter and he knows just how he feels. But Derek hasn't got an estranged daughter at all. Clearly he just wants to be loved.
Anyway, he backs off – until that is, Roxy messes with him further by nicking a load of his dodgy booze. The straw in her dodgy vodka and tonic is the one that breaks the camel's (no, not dodgy ciggies too) back.
Derek asks a mate to teach her a lesson in no uncertain terms. Mind you, at the same time, Jack is being told by Max that Derek lied about his daughter. What lies ahead for the Branning brothers?
Also this week: Dot discovers some of Rose's love letters and works out that she's pen pals with a convicted killer. But then writes to him asking him to repent and gives away Rose's real name and address. Silly Dot.
The fact that he has a sister seems to have slipped Declan's mind. It's certainly a surprise to Katie, who is furious and who wouldn't be if Gaynor Faye arrived unannounced and started ordering you around?
Gaynor's character is in fact called Megan and she's Declan's half sister.
And it's not only Katie who's upset. Gaynor Faye also upsets Nicola and Charity as they were hoping to win the job of festival manager. Until Declan offers it to his previously-unheard-of-but-now-much-loved sister.
She, however, refuses to take it right away and demands time to think about it. And that's not the only problem the festival faces. Andy is refusing to let Declan make a temporary track over his land and Declan can't get permission for it to go ahead without it. Things aren't improved when Declan goes over there to ask once more before John's funeral has even taken place.
Gaynor Faye looks like she might be able to smooth the troubled waters, when she explains to Andy how much money he could make, but he still holds firm. Declan is getting nothing from his family.
Also this week: Zak is not feeling himself. And then shocks everyone by disappearing for a night, but then showing up at home with no memory of where he has been.

This place has been here forever. Now that Tokyo Teriyaki is gone this is probably the oldest standing teriyaki joint now. The food here is consistently good and is definitely a staple here in the neighborhood.
I eat here a lot. I included "warm" in the title because so many restaurants are cold, but this one is always comfortable and I can take my jacket off in the winter. Food has always been good and well worth the price.
My boyfriend and I ate here on a Sunday afternoon and it was the best teriyaki we'd had in a long time. Portions are hearty for the price and it was all delicious. We'd go here again next time we're in the area.
Decided to give this place a try as it is close by and on a Friday night cooking does not always sound like fun. Hard to find an online menu (we were doing take out), but most teriyaki places have the same items.
We ordered the chicken breast teriyaki, pork gyoza, broccoli beef. White rice and little salads seem to...
My husband & I live within 15 minutes Ichi and we love this place! The food is always really good and our to-go orders have always been right. The portions are large as well. Another thing I love is unlike a lot of other teriyaki places that are closed on Sundays, Ichi is open! I highly recommend this place! :)
Traveling to WA five times a year, we stop here every time. It's a simple place, but the salmon teriyaki is my fave. I usually pay 15 bucks for this dish at Japanese restaurants, salmon teriyaki here is barely $9. Good food, good price.

The elusive alpha channel remains one of the most misunderstood yet powerful tools in Photoshop. Alpha channels are collections of luminance data that control the transparency of an image, and they inform just about every aspect of Photoshop. As he builds transitional blended layers, fashions a depth map, makes edge adjustments, and takes on extreme channel mixing, Omni Award-winning expert Deke McClelland teaches Photoshop users that where there's a will, there's a way. Photoshop CS3 Channels and Masks: Advanced Techniques covers mapping texture on an image, turning flesh into stone, using vector masks, working with all different channels, creating a rustic edge effect, and much more. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.

In this exercise, we are going to perfect the transitions between the hair and the newly yellow blouse inside of this image and this image by the way is called Ongoing hair problems.psd found inside of the 12 Specialty folder. As usual where hair is concerned, it's going to turn out to be a little bit easier than we thought and it's down right anticlimactic quite frankly when approached properly, as we will approach it of course. Now, we do have a job ahead of us because we have got not only her brunette hair, the natural color of her hair, but we also have a lot of leftover crimson inside of her hair, and then we have these areas of intense yellow where the hair has been converted over yellow along with the blouse. We want where it possible the hair to look brunette all the way around.
Now, we are going to have a little bit of residual red and a little bit of newly yellowed pixels here and there, but it will actually look organic to the image. So here is what we are going to do. I want you to start by getting the Lasso tool, so we are going to define the area that we want to work with generally, using the polygonal lasso as usual. I want you to turn the Anti-alias check-box off in order to generate nice jagged transitions because we are going to be copying part of one channel and bringing it over into the layer mask. Make sure the Feather value is set to 0 as well.
If you have a selection active as I do, I still have this area of the shoulder selected, then press Ctrl+D or Command+D on the Mac in order to deselect it. Then, I want you to do as follows here. I want to go ahead and select the region that I am about to show you. So the easiest thing is to just show you as I do it. I am Alt+Clicking or Option+Clicking with the Lasso tool. So I have the Alt or Option key down the entire time. I am clicking to define the selection. I am going to come down here into this good region of this hair and stop shy of the bad region like so. So I am just generally defining the portion of the hair that needs work, is essentially what's going on.
I am going to select these red hairs as well. Notice, this region of hair is red. So I am going to select it as well, and then I am going to come down into this hair over into the yellow zone, over there back like so. Then, down along this hair into the yellow region. Actually, I want to make sure that I select that yellow region of hair there and now, I can be fairly lose. So I will just go ahead and go down the body until I get back to the original starting point there, and now I will release the Alt key or the Option key in order to complete the selection outline.
So you can see I have selected well down into this area, so that I have every bit of yellowise hair down toward the lower portion of the image. So this selection outline represents our problem hairs. I am now going to turn off the adjustment layer. I am going to click on the background layer to make it active. I will go to the Channels palette and I am going to click on the Red channel because it contains the best definitions between the hair and its formerly crimson background. The idea is that I do want the hairs to be black and the background to be white, and the Red channel as closest, is essentially what it comes down to.
Now, I will press Ctrl+C or Command+C on the Mac to copy that selection to the Clipboard. Go back to the RGB image, go to the Layers palette, turn on the adjustment layer, click on the Layer mask. So a lot of little micro steps here. Now, what you would like to be able to do, since the layer mask is active, you'd figure you can just paste it right into there by pressing Ctrl+V or Command+V on the Mac. You are going to paste an independent layer if you do that. So you don't want that. Go ahead and Undo that modification. Here is what you have to do instead, Alt+Click or Option+ Click on that layer mask to isolate it from the rest of the image. Now, press Ctrl+V or Command+V in order to paste the selection into place.
So we have got the hairs in place, better versions of the hairs as you will see. Press Ctrl+H or Command+H in order to hide that selection outline, so that you can better see what you are doing. Now, Alt+Click or Option+Click on the layer mask icon to return to the composite image, and you can see that things are already actually a lot better. This was before the paste, and this is after the paste. So we have some work to do, a little more work to do, but not all that much. So now, that we are still working inside the layer mask, notice that it's active here, and we still have our selection outline intact. Go ahead and press Ctrl+L or Command+L on the Mac in order to enter the Levels dialog box. I am going to take the White point down to 190, and notice at that point, that we lose those weird red transitions that we were seeing before inside of the blouse.
So this is before I applied Levels. A bunch of pink going on inside that yellow, and this is after I set that White point down to 190. This will just be a matter of trial and error on your part of course. You would just drag this down until you get a nice blend between no red inside of the shirt and some red leftover inside of the hair. So 190 pretty well does it. Now, we have to boost up the blackness of the areas inside the hair a little bit. So I am going to take the Black point value up to about 50. So we get this kind of transition right there, and things are looking pretty darn good. I will now click OK in order to accept that modification. So again, that's 50 for the Black point, 190 for the White point, leave the Gamma value alone. Go ahead and click OK to accept that modification.
Now, we need to paint in some adjustments using an Overlay Brush. So press the B key in order to switch to the Paintbrush tool. Press Shift+Alt+O or Shift+Option+O on the Mac in order to switch to the Overlay mode. I am going to increase the size of my brush a little bit. Make sure you are working with a soft brush, and I am going to reduce the Opacity to 70% by pressing the 7 key and you can see that the Opacity value is dropped up here in the Options Bar. Now, I am going to paint up like so and that pretty much reestablishes the yellows between these two ponytails of hair right there. I am also going to paint along this side of the hair a little bit. I will paint a little right there, and maybe a couple of clicks of paint in this region.
Now, if I click up in this region, I am afraid that I am going to remove too much red. Let's try that again. See if I paint along this region instead of clicking. Actually, that looks pretty good, but if you find that your modifications are too large at any given time, like that modification I made right there was maybe a little bit too much, go ahead and undo that change and reduce the opacity. I suggest you work with either very large opacity values or very small opacity values at this point. So I am going to take this down to 30% in order to make very subtle modifications, and I will paint around here, click here, here, and here. So I just click a few times in order to make whatever changes that you feel are esthetically pleasing to the image.
Now, I am going to go ahead and scroll down a little bit. I have a little bit of an issue with this area of the hair right there. Notice that we have a little bit of a corner showing up. So I am going to press the X key to switch the foreground color to black. I am going to take that Opacity value up to 70%, and I am going to reduce the size of my brush cursor, and I am going to paint in there few times actually in order to paint some of that red back in and get rid of that -- pretty harsh transition we had a moment ago, but now we are still left with a little bit of harshness there. So tell me what I am going to do.
Now, that I am pretty darn happy with these hairs right there, and I could paint along a little more if I wanted to, but I actually think they look pretty darn good in this region. Then, I am going to soften this area a little bit by getting my Lasso tool. I will go ahead and press Ctrl+D or Command+D on a Mac in order to de-select that selected area of the image, and I will just go ahead and marquee around this region right there, and I still have the Anti-alias check-box turned off. It doesn't really matter because our edges are black in this region. So we are just going from black to black, we are not going to see jagged edges.
I am going to now go up to the Filter menu, choose the Blur command and choose Gaussian Blur, and I am going to soften these edges just a little bit. I think Soften value of about 2 pixels looks pretty good actually. Then, I could use the Levels command to scoot things in, or I could paint some more with the Overlay Brush if I wanted to. I can paint some more black in there. But, I am pretty happy with the way that looks actually. I think it will look okay if we zoom out from it, and leave it alone from this point on. So that's it, and actually I think this is looking pretty darn great overall, and if some detail is bothering you a little, like this sort of weird area of yellow over here on the right side of the image. Then, go ahead and compare it to the original.
Turn off the adjustment layer for a moment, and you will see that it was a pretty weird area in the first place. It didn't bother us then. So why should it bother us now. So go ahead and turn it on. You do have to do a reality check every once in a while when you are working inside of an image. So that you stay appropriately sensitive, but you don't want to become overly sensitized to the image. All right. Notice, we also have a little bit of red transitioning at the top of her blouse over here on the left side of her chin. I actually think that's something we should just leave alone because to me, it looks like a reflection that's coming off of the skin. In other words, the skin is informing the color of the blouse at this point. So I think that's just fine.
So this is, my friends, this is the final color mask here inside of Photoshop. We manage not only to select and accurately identify the blouse and change its colors, but we've also managed to create some credible organic transitions around those individual clumps and strands of hair, nicely done.

Well if it's a "who's the better butler" thread, then I'd have to say Jarvis, at least we've seen Jarvis clean, in all the Batman issues he's been in, I don't think I've ever seen Alfred clean!
If it's a proper fight I'd maybe, probably go for Jarvis, like come on, he's an Avenger! :)

Colorado kayaking is world renowned. By learning how to kayak in a safe setting with knowledgeable instructors, you will have the skills and know-how that you will need to have fun whatever your level. Kayak classes offer basic water safety, paddling maneuvers and kayak rolling. Lessons takes place in a pool or local lake, and the instructor will have all the gear needed.
Colorado is home to some of the nation's best whitewater making it a natural venue for an exciting adventure in a whitewater kayak. This is an exciting way to experience the Valley's wonderful rivers.
Whitewater kayaks differ from sea kayaks and recreational kayaks in that they are specialized to deal with moving water better. They are often shorter and more maneuverable than sea kayaks and are specially designed to deal with water flowing up onto their decks. Most whitewater kayaks are made of plastics these days, although some paddlers use kayaks made of fiberglass composites. Whitewater kayaks are fairly stable in turbulent water, once the paddler is skillful with them; if flipped upside-down, the skilled paddler can easily roll them back upright. This essential skill of whitewater kayaking is called the "Eskimo Roll," or simply "Roll." Kayaks are paddled in a low sitting position (legs extended forward), with a two-bladed paddle.
Whitewater kayaking can range from simple, carefree gently moving water, to demanding, dangerous whitewater. River rapids are graded like ski runs according to the difficulty, danger or severity of the rapid. Whitewater grades (or classes) range from 1 (the easiest) to 6 (the most difficult/dangerous). Grade/Class I can be described as slightly moving water with ripples. Grade/Class VI can be described as severe whitewater.Additional notes: Depending on the vendor, you will likely find that a rental package will encompass everything you need to get started in your kayak, including paddle, helmet and spray skirt. In addition to sensible, fast-drying river clothes, you may want to invest in a splash top, which is a waterproof, breathable top. Consult your vendor for additional needs for your kayaking adventure.

"This is a good place to head to if you like Chinese buffets... personally I would rather order my food freshly made but as far as buffets go this is just fine! It's quite good for big groups and it's always busy which gives it a great atmosphere."
By djmonkey | Sunday, July 31 2011
This is a good place to head to if you like Chinese buffets... personally I would rather order my food freshly made but as far as buffets go this is just fine! It's quite good for big groups and it's always busy which gives it a great atmosphere.
a pleasant chinese restaurant with buffet and a a large choice of foods. Includes a selection or sushis and foods to grill. Prices are reasonable, booking is advisable as it can get quite busy. I've been here many times, with usually very good opinions although on occasion it has been slightly below par (usually due to it being so busy!).
i have only ever been here once and it was ok im not really a huge fan of all you can eat buffetts because they remind me of queing up for school dinners and you always get the greedy fat pig who is insistent on getting their moneys worth then they end up leaving half their food. my idea of a meal is sit down and being waited on not rushing around acting like foods going out of fashion- i wouldnt go back
This restaurant is extremely popular in Leicester and so I went along with high expectations and whilst the night was OK, I must admit I left a little disappointed. The outside decor / style promises more than the inside actually delivers and whilst the food was definately good, at these prices I expected more. Will go again but not necessarily the sort of place I'll seek out.
A large Chinese buffet restaurant. It is at basement level so there is no natural light but it is well lit and has a cosy feel. There is an extensive selection of dishes, including an area for freshly cooking meat, and sushi etc. The staff are always very helpful and friendly, and the price is quite reasonable. Drinks are quite expensive. Booking is advisable as it can get quite busy.
The best chinese buffet in leicester. A great secection of food. I like the hot plate as they cook it before your eyes with a selection of spices. It gets busy and is always full so I would advise you to book up early. Its a great night out with family friends or with work
A very large chinese buffet restaurant. There is an extensive selection of dishes, including an area for freshly cooking meat, and sushi etc. Can be quite expensive for a big family but I usually find it's worth it, particularly if you are really hungry and the kids love it.
Terracotta offers a great selection of Chinese food buffet style, and one price for all you can eat is always a winner with me. The hot plate where you can get chicken, salmon and prawns cooked fresh and to your liking is a unique touch and makes it stand out from other similar restaurants in the area. Staff are efficient but not the cheeriest, but all in all this is a great place to eat.
Convenient location is about the only positive I can think of about this place. Yes there is a lot of choice, but what is the point when it all tastes the same? Seems like a good price but I don't believe you are given value for money. Feels a bit 'canteeny' and the service is as you would expect for a restaurant like this. Sadly lots of people choose to have their birthday meals here, when in reality there are many better places in the city centre.
found this place to average in all fairness. The selection of food is good but it does not stand out from the rest. joining a party of 12 people we were place in what can only be described as a large broom closet. This was ok initially but after a while it became extremely warm. The staff did not seem too attentative to our needs and we had to fetch our own drinks in the end. Food was good tho and the sushi was nice.

Taking CAR T-Cell Therapy from the...
Scientists Wonder if the Public Is...
Our Understanding of the Benefits and...
Clinicians Are Increasingly Left with Few...
Yet another firm is tapping Isis for its antisense technology. In the latest deal, AstraZeneca formed an alliance with the firm for the discovery and development of novel generation antisense therapeutics against five cancer targets. The agreement includes a license to develop and commercialize ISIS-STAT3Rx, a drug Isis is currently evaluating in an early clinical trial in patients with advanced lymphomas.
This alliance aims to apply AstraZeneca's experience in developing personalized medicines to enhance the drug discovery and development process for four research programs in the oncology area and to aid in the development of ISIS-STAT3Rx for patient populations that could benefit the most from inhibition of STAT3, a protein that drives cancer growth.
Several other firms are interested in Isis' antisense technology. Just yesterday, the firm reported receiving $30 million from Biogen Idec in a deal to discover and develop antisense drugs against three undisclosed targets to treat neurological or neuromuscular disorders. Last month, Pfizer paid Isis $1.25 million in a scar treatment deal. The payment was triggered when Pfizer decided to advance EXC 001, an antisense oligonucleotide designed to interrupt the process of fibrosis by inhibiting expression of connective tissue growth factor, into a Phase II study. In addition, Isis has ongoing collaborations with Genzyme, Alnylam, and GlaxoSmithKline. Isis' modus operandi is to discover and conduct early development of new drugs and then outlicense those drugs to partners with late-stage development, commercialization, and marketing expertise.
Antisense therapies target the proteins involved in disease processes by destroying the RNA that is involved in creating these proteins. The Isis discovery platform develops specific therapies that bind to messenger RNA and inhibit the production of disease-causing proteins.

The Almost, But Not Quite Beautiful Victorian Bulldog
Bulldogs are not the handsomest dogs around and Victorian bulldogs are probably no exception. Still, like most bulldogs, Victorian bulldogs tend to be loyal, friendly, and in their own way, quite charming. They are, in fact, a little more handsome than the typical bulldog. A black and tan Victorian bulldog looks, at first glance, like a rather wide, but muscular beagle. With its broad head and chest and formidable jaws, this bulldog will give any intruder pause.
From the front, this 19" high dog looks almost as wide as it is tall, and none of that width is due to fat. Strangers will not approach a place where a German Shepherd stands guard, even though the shepherd can be the gentlest dog there is around most people. The same is true of the Victorian bulldog. While it looks like an animal that could easily tear a person's leg off, or at least clamp down and not let go, it is, despite being extremely athletic, one of the gentlest of breeds. This bulldog makes a wonderful family pet.
When talk turns to bulldogs, it often focuses on the health of the breeds. Bulldogs, in general, have long had a reputation for having various and sometimes numerous health defects, which often keep them from enjoying a long and productive life. This reputation sometimes tends to turn people away from considering having a bulldog as a pet, as much as they might like the breed. This reputation is deserved to some degree, as most breeds of bulldog seem to have more than their share of ailments, largely due to their build and the shape of their face.
A Healthy Breed Of Dog
The Victorian bulldog has been bred with these health issues in mind. One way to breed healthy bulldogs is to find the healthiest bulldogs you can, and then breed them. This way, some of the genes that contribute to health problems will eventually be bred out, leaving a litter of happy and very healthy little bulldogs. This approach would work, but would take some time.
A better approach is to look into other breeds that might be successfully crossed with the bulldog. Successfully, in this case, means that the end result will still be a dog that is mainly bulldog in appearance. Besides carefully choosing bulldogs for a breeding program, an English breeder used Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Mastiffs, and one or two other breeds, in an attempt to come up with a better bulldog.
The breeder was successful, and the Victorian Bulldog was born. The breed is sometimes referred to as the Ken Mollett bulldog, after its late breeder. Some of the negative aspects of Bull terriers and mastiffs might lead you to believe that a cross breed containing these bloodlines might not be the gentlest and most trustworthy of dogs. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
Back To The Future
This bulldog has become a much loved and very popular breed. It is also a breed that can be somewhat difficult to obtain since the true Victorian bulldog comes from a single strain of bulldogs and the number available is limited. Some even refer to the breed as a rare breed, and they are probably right.
There are other copy-cat Victorians, some of them being very fine dogs, but they are from different strains and are not registered with the Victorian Bulldog Foundation or the Victorian Bulldog Society. This new breed, which dates back to the mid-1980′s, is not based on an old strain. One of the goals in the breeding program was to try to get a dog that closely resembled the bulldog popular in Victorian times, a lost breed of bulldog. This goal was achieved, although the priority during the breeding program was always to come up with a very healthy dog. Looks came second.
The Victorian bulldog is not a particularly small dog. Males tip the scales at around 75 pounds, and females weigh in at about 10 pounds lighter. Like many bulldog breeds, the Victorian bulldog has difficulty adjusting to extreme temperatures. It can chill rather easily, and it finds it difficult to cool down in very hot weather. Consequently, England's temperate climate tends to suit the breed to a T. This is a dog that normally will spend most of its time indoors.
It is even a good pet in a small apartment, but it is important to give it daily exercise. As far as exercise is concerned, try taking a Victorian bulldog on a long walk, even a run – which most bulldogs are not famous for. You will probably be ready to turn and head for home long before the dog is.

EL PASO, Texas One immigration protester remains in custody in West Texas after a group of 34 surrendered to immigration agents in September at the border with Mexico.
Three of detainees were released Friday and three others were deported last week. A total of 28 young men and women have been released on parole and are awaiting court dates while five were sent back to Mexico.
They crossed the border without immigration documents and were detained pending interviews in which asylum officers determined if they had reason to fear returning to their country according to asylum law.
All members of the group were brought to the U.S. as children but are not citizens.
They're called "dreamers" in reference to the Dream Act that would grant immigrants like them lawful status in the U.S.
