SSRI antidepressants may cause serious or life-threatening lung problems in newborn babies whose mothers take the medication during pregnancy.

What is fluoxetine and olanzapine?
Fluoxetine is an antidepressant in a group of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).
Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication. These drugs affect chemicals in the brain.

You may have thoughts about suicide when you first start taking an antidepressant, especially if you are younger than 24 years old. Tell your doctor if you have worsening symptoms of depression or suicidal thoughts during the first several weeks of treatment, or whenever your dose is changed.
Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms. Your doctor will need to check you at regular visits for at least the first 12 weeks of treatment.
Taking antipsychotic medication during the last 3 months of pregnancy may cause problems in the newborn, such as withdrawal symptoms, breathing problems, feeding problems, fussiness, tremors, and limp or stiff muscles. However, you may have withdrawal symptoms or other problems if you stop taking your medicine during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking fluoxetine and olanzapine, do not stop taking it without your doctor's advice.

Fluoxetine and olanzapine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are taking this medication.
Do not give this medication to anyone under 18 years old without medical advice.
How should I take fluoxetine and olanzapine?
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Fluoxetine and olanzapine can be taken with or without food. Try to take the medicine at the same time each day.
It may take up to 4 weeks before your symptoms improve. Keep using the medication as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after 4 weeks of treatment.
Olanzapine can cause high blood sugar (hyperglycemia). If you are diabetic, check your blood sugar levels on a regular basis while you are taking olanzapine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. Overdose symptoms may include some of the serious side effects listed in this medication guide.

T-Fal Boosts Groupe SEB Q1 Revenue Gains
Wednesday April 24th, 2013 - 12:41PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Groupe SEB reported first quarter revenue gains of 2.3% to $1.2 billion versus revenue of $1.18 billion for the comparable period of 2012. The company's North American business delivered slightly stronger results, achieving growth of 4.9%, or plus 5.2% when accounting for exchange rates, to approximately $125 million for the first quarter, up from $118 million in the 2012 period.
The company indicated that its results reflected the "mixed picture" of the global economy that has seen, "sluggish consumer spending in most mature markets."
Addressing North America specifically, the company described the U.S. market as, "a little more buoyant than in 2012," but said it remains highly volatile. In cookware, the company indicated that its T-Fal brand delivered, "robust revenue growth," fueled by new product launches, "a strong marketing dynamic and rapid rise in e-commerce."
On the flip side of the coin, the company described its All-Clad and Emeril businesses as having, "turned in a lackluster performance in a very competitive environment."
The company continues to grow its small electrics portfolio in North America, continuing to expand its Krups and Rowenta businesses respectively. According to the company, "Rowenta consolidated its positions in a ironing market that declined further."
The company also indicated that sales of its Actifry cooking appliance benefitted from "positive momentum that the Group attempted to amplify through targeted sales and marketing actions."

New SoMa Skatepark Coming to San Francisco's Mission District
Posted By Allison Leahy On August 2, 2011 @ 3:00 pm In Design,Landscape Architecture,San Francisco,Urban design | No Comments
San Francisco is about to boost its street sports cred with a long-awaited skatepark [1]. After two years of petitioning and planning, the Department of Public Works is ready to break ground on the $3 million SoMa Skate Plaza. The new project will calm traffic [2] under the busy Central Freeway, all while revitalizing the area and showing appreciation for local skate culture.
SoMa Skate Plaza is set to be built on the corner of Duboce and Mission, right behind the popular bar Zeitgeist. The structure's design, which comes from New Line Skateparks [3], incorporates elements of sought-after skate spots like Channel Street, Justin Herman Plaza, and the nearby Armory.
San Francisco [4] was once known as the mecca for street skateboarding, but over the years many of its favored skate spots have been taken away. The iconic Hubba Hideout was mostly destroyed [5] at the beginning of this year and tiny sculptures of sea creatures interrupt what were once grind-worthy benches along the Embarcadero.
At the moment, those who respect "No Skating" signs have just two locales in which to demonstrate their brand of creative [6]athleticism. Potrero Del Sol features a street section, big bowl, and a mini bowl; and Crocker Amazon boasts three big bowls with rails, a mini-manual pad, pyramid, more rails, and smooth curves.
The new park is a welcome addition, and the art included in its design will be a major improvement upon the bleak freeway [7] scene [7] that currently hangs over the neighborhood. The Department of Public Works is also planning to include a playground, dog park, two basketball courts in the tree-lined park.
San Francisco's skateboarding community is taking this win as a sign that the city is willing to support its artistic [8] and athletic pursuits. The activists have already scoped an area in the Upper Haight as a potential next site, primed for urban renewal.

These are some pics I took at the the Bi-annual Hand Made Classic Lightweight Frame Builders Exhibition held at the Science & Technology museum in Tokyo last weekend. Makers include Cherubim, Watanabe, Nishiki, Makino, Nagasawa, Toei, Quark and Silk. Some very nice stuff.
Track bike by Cherubim.
Cherubim road bike, yours for around ¥190,000 for the frame or ¥360,000 with Ultegra groupset.
A Makino
A Toei
Toei detail - until seeing this I had no idea Mafac hood covers came in anything other than Black, red, white and cream. That blue is lovely!
There were some very nice bikes outside in the parking area, too, belonging to visitors, as you might expect.
This is an alluminium frame which has been zinc-plated and the finish distressed. It was one of 3 bikes that a finisher was unofficially exhibiting in the car park.
Copper plated and distressed:
Stem copper plated and finished with a ball-peen hammer
And on a seat rail...
A Futaba - some might remember the photos I posted a while back of a Mini-Velo Futaba...
There's an album with many other photos I took at the exhibition at:

How To Have The Puberty Talk
If you're anything like me, puberty wasn't a lot fun. There were pimples, training bras, and constant fights with the parents. But guess what might be even worse than that long-ago horror show? Watching your kid go through it.
If you have a son in the 9-12 year old age range (approximately), chances are you won't actually see the first sign that he's starting puberty. Rather, you'll smell it. Or at least that's how we knew our 11-year-old's body was starting to change and that we needed to buy him Baby's First Deodorant before the entire family passed out from his new ripe aroma. Whew.
If you have a girl of this age, you've probably noticed other changes besides armpit odor that signal the start of puberty, most likely breast development (aka "breast buds") or increased emotions (aka "door slams"). Some girls may have already started menstruation at this age, so maybe you've even had the mother/daughter period talk. (Or you've quietly slid the free Kotex pamphlet under her bedroom door before running off to ceramics class like my mother did to me back in the enlightened 1980's.) (And don't even get me started on the day she taught me how to use a tampon—via my panicked phone call from Camp Kormoranta.)
This new phase of development may seem fairly natural and normal to you, but it's probably the exact opposite to your child. Puberty can be embarrassing, awkward and scary. Just ask any girl who's out bra shopping with her mom when a cute guy walks by. Or any boy who suddenly has an erection in school and doesn't know what the heck's going on. (And yes, that's going to happen.)
For that reason, any puberty advice or information you give your child now is only going to help their comfort level during this transitional time. I mean, I know I could have used some insight when I was a confused 11-year-old reading the highlighted parts of my friend Kristi's copy of Judy Blume's "Forever." ("How can you use a diaphragm for birth control!? Isn't that your ribcage?! That makes no sense!")
Here are our tips on how to have an honest and frank puberty discussion with your child.
Before we start, tell me, what exactly is puberty?
By definition puberty is "the period during which adolescents reach sexual maturity and become capable of reproduction." Basically, it's the process of physical changes that give them an adult body. That said, it's also a word that's kind of fun to say—puuuuuberty. Only don't say it around a kid who's actually experiencing puberty or they'll probably, like, die from total mortification.
Sounds, um, fun! How long does puberty last?
Four to five years. Boys average three years and girls average four years. Of course, some kids are faster and some are slower. Per the book From Diapers to Dating, it can be "as quick as 18 months and as long as eight years." Uh-huh. Let's all hope it's not eight years.
Should I wait until I notice changes with my kid before I start The Puberty Talk?
It's definitely a personal decision, however letting your kid know what body changes to expect in advance will make him/her less fearful when he/she starts to experience growing pains in her chest or begins to sprout hair where it's never sprouted before.
And while it may feel awkward explaining to your son what a "nocturnal emission" is, getting that knowledge before he actually has one will help him not freak out. (And yes, he's going to have one. It's no coincidence that boys are encouraged to start doing their own laundry around this age.)
The same thought applies to girls and their periods. Even if you think your daughter is years away from getting hers, you still need to prepare her because it's always a surprise. (And it's always when you're wearing white pants. Why is that?) Plus, girls are starting menstruation earlier than they did a generation ago. There are many, many books and resources that can help you explain it all. (And they're all much better than my free Kotex pamphlet, thank you very much.)
What other exciting physical changes are coming?
Per Everything You Never Wanted Your Kids to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid They'd Ask), a girl's growth spurt will start shortly after her breasts begin to bud, then her hips will widen and she'll gain more fat. (It might be a good idea to tell her that this weight gain is because of biology, not because she's eating too many chips.) By the time she begins to menstruate, she'll be approaching her adult height. This can make girls feel weird, but let them know the boys are on their way to catching up.
Because, as you may remember, boys start their growth spurt about two years later than girls. It begins with their feet and continues upwards, including the growth of their scrotum and then their penis. (And yes, even at this age, they're concerned about penis size, so be ready for that question.) Also note that boys' muscles and bones don't always grow at the same rate, which explains the famous adolescent clumsiness.
Is it true that puberty turns kids into nasty, emotional trainwrecks?
Hmmmm….why don't you go to the mall and ask a mother helping her daughter try on dresses that question? She'll be happy to tell you right after she stops cowering in the corner.
The fact is that due to hormones and an increased need for independence during puberty, most kids aren't their usual sweet selves to their parents at this age. Or maybe they are one day and not the next. Or one hour and not the next. Or they're nice to their friends and not to their family. We recently had a taste of this unpredictability at our house when our upset 11-year-old ran into his room and slammed the door. Ten minutes later, he was snuggled up to me on the couch like nothing had happened. I'm still not sure what to make of it.
But while it can be very hard to deal with your child during this time, it's still important to to inform them that you know these emotions are all part of their growing up. Wait for a calm moment to tell them that you'll try your best to understand their moods and you won't take them personally. They will then roll their eyes at you and say "Moooooom!" but hopefully a bit of your message will get through and they'll have some comfort and reassurance.
This seems like a rather huge topic, so let's cut to the chase: What's the most important thing I can tell my kid about puberty?
That he or she is normal. There are a lot of changes happening to their bodies, minds and emotions right now and that can make them feel very vulnerable and strange. Let your child know that they can talk to you about anything that's happening to them, whether it's physical or friend-related. Or (Eek!) boyfriend or girlfriend-related.
Basically, keep communication open. Offer to buy them puberty-related books (which they probably won't want, but will read when nobody's looking). Ask your pediatrician if there are any concerns. And if you're a single mother and uncomfortable with some of the boy subjects, see if an uncle or other male relative can be of assistance. Talking about penis size with your tween isn't as fun as you'd think.
Remember, puberty is just another stage. Sure, it's not the cutest stage a child will go through—just look at any of my family vacation photos from the Grand Canyon in the early 80's that show me scowling and my mom ready to push me off the cliff—but a stage nonetheless. Which means it'll pass. Your child is transitioning into an adult and with a lot of honesty and communication, you'll both be in a good place when he or she finally gets there. Deodorant and all.
So, if you've already talked to your kid(s) about puberty and their changing bodies what have you learned? We want to know.

When my kids were on puberty's doorstep (about 30 years ago) I bought a book called "What's Happening to Me?" and attempted to read it with each of them when their time came. My son listened carefully then said, "Can I go play basketball?" My daughter listened carefully then went to play with her Barbie's. But I left the book out on a table and said no more.
For each of them, they sneaked peeks at the book over the following few months. And occasionally a question would come up about something puberty-ish when we were doing other things. Both of them have said having that book just lying around where they could refer to it as they digested the things that were going on in their lives was the best thing. They could look up something and, if it wasn't adequately covered in the book, take their time to formulate how they would phrase the question they had.
So, maybe don't "offer" to buy a book, maybe find one your comfortable with and read it with them first, then leave it around. That gives them the chance to get comfortable with the information and knowing you know about it. Over the ensuing years, they will be comfortable asking you all kinds of things!

The very best advice, insight and books I have found are through Girlology. Their book There's Simething New About You has been perfect for my nine year old (all puberty, no sex), and their book Girlology:A Girls Guide to Stuff that Matters is the most girl friendly and honest book I've found for my 12 year old. It s written by two doctors but in a very friendly and non-medical way. Theres a girlology website, and a GUYology on a favebook page, but I haven't sawn a guyology book. THAT would be awesome.

I bought the book "The Care and Keeping of You" by American Girl and read it with my daughter and then left it in her room so she could look at it when she needed to. Now she is 13 and has started her period and has started growing breasts and is constantly annoyed at me. Now I have to start working on my son who is 10 going on 11. I suppose I need to find a book for him, but I think I'll need to have his dad take it from there, cause I don't want to have the talk with my sweet baby boy!

Backlit portraits: how to give your subjects a golden halo effect
In our latest outdoor portrait photography tutorial we show you how to use clever framing of the sun give your people pictures a golden halo effect. Read on to find out how to make your own atmospheric backlit portraits!
Using the sun to backlight shots of people is a brilliantly effective way to add a summery, sunkissed feel to portraits, and is especially popular in fashion and wedding photography.
In this tutorial we'll show you how to get the look by positioning the sun behind your model and creating a warm halo of light around them. To get the best results in this trickly lighting situation it pays to switch White Balance, focus and exposure to manual.
We shot our model, Athene, on a July evening, and waited until 8pm for the sun to be at the right height to frame her face. Anyone with blonde hair is perfect for this, as the sun will shine through and light up fair hair. Here are our suggestions for getting a perfect contre jour effect…
How to frame backlit portraits
01 Switch to manual
Manual avoids your camera overcompensating for the light and silhouetting your model. A wide aperture, such as f/5.6, creates shallow depth of field, and ISO100 is fine. Experiment with shutter speed – we found overexposing two stops with a setting of 1/125 sec gave just enough definition.
02 Get in focus
Shooting into the sun means autofocus will struggle. One trick is to shield your lens from the sun with your hand, focus on your subject's face, then take your hand away and shoot, but it's less hassle to focus manually. Remember, do not look through your viewfinder directly at the sun.
03 Find the right angle
To avoid blowing out your photo, and to keep your subject's features defined, you'll need most of the sun behind your model's head. Experiment with positioning and camera settings until you find an effect you like – and don't worry about lens flare as it can create an attractive look.

By Maj. Gen. Simeon Trombitas
Trombitas is serving in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as the commander of Joint Task Force-Haiti. He is also the commander of United States Army South in San Antonio, Texas.
From the moment that the devastating earthquake struck Haiti, Lt. Gen. Ken Keen was on the ground here, showing true commitment and dedication to the U.S. humanitarian mission and the people of Haiti. His departure and the transition to another phase of the operation on April 18 is a profound statement of his confidence that the international community has the capability, collaboration and security presence to continue supporting the Haitian government and its people down the long road ahead for Haiti's reconstruction.
As I assume command of Joint Task Force-Haiti while we prepare for the rainy season, the mission of the JTF and Operation Unified Response remains unchanged: to save lives and mitigate suffering of the Haitian people. We stand ready to support USAID, the Government of Haiti and the international community as they focus on ensuring shelter, sanitation, settlement and security (the "Four S's") for Haitians.
Over the next several weeks, we will continue to adjust the forces of JTF-Haiti, retaining only those forces required to assist our partners. By the end of May, Joint Task Force-Haiti will furl its flag. However, U.S. Southern Command's presence here and our partnership with Haiti will endure. We will continue our engagement by conducting multiple exercises over the coming months through traditional Humanitarian Civic Assistance, Humanitarian Assistance Program and New Horizons exercises.
Over the past years, SOUTHCOM and U.S. Army South have conducted these engagements and exercises that have built lasting partnerships with numerous countries throughout the region while providing a much needed service to the people of these countries. Currently teams of doctors and engineers are conducting these exercises in Panama, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala, strengthening our ties with those countries.
These types of exercises are tailored to the area receiving the assistance in coordination with the host nation's government. They provide projects like building schools, clinics, community centers, orphanages, emergency operations centers, disaster response warehouses, wells, and potable water systems. Additionally, Exercise Continuing Promise – medical assistance visits by the hospital ship USNS Comfort and other naval assets – will be incorporated into our enduring presence in Haiti.
In Haiti, the first in a series of activities is scheduled to begin near the end of April as a Medical Readiness Exercise to provide the local population in Port Salut with needed medical services.
We have 12 medical exercises and 35 other humanitarian programs planned in the Haitian cities of Gonaives, Les Cayes and Jeremie. These projects will provide training for U.S. medical and engineering personnel and employ Haitian citizens to improve these cities' infrastructure. We are targeting these cities because there has been an enormous influx of displaced Haitians into those cities from Port-au-Prince after the earthquake.
Our planners have met with community leaders in these towns to discuss where they most need assistance. Our objective is that our military assistance programs, in cooperation with the UN/NGOs/Interagency organizations, will provide support to those communities and encourage displaced Haitians to remain there and not return to Port-au-Prince, where camps are already overburdened.
I am proud and humbled to assume command of Joint Task Force-Haiti and the incredible Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and DoD civilians who make up our team. Our servicemembers are all doing incredible work for the Haiti relief effort and establishing the baseline for our partnership and enduring relationship with the Haitian people.

Having one little person is tricky, but you can generally get out and about around naps and feeds, grab a coffee have five minutes, get a shower. Having two however is a completely different ball game!!
Leaving the house can be a challenge in itself, bundling everyone in the car, dummies flying, wee wee shouts, your once neatly packed changing bag having everything spilling out due the 'throw it in stylie' you have recently adopted.
So when I order click and collect for ease of life and am advised it will be there at a specified time, having done said bundling into car in the bloody rain and set off, yes I am a bit narked when i then get a message saying 'We regret to inform you, your order will not be ready at the specified time but possibly tomorrow' 3 minutes before I am due to collect!!!
Having contacted said large brand 'shoddy service company 'to be told we fully understand the implications this has caused you', I resond to you, I actually really dont think you do……………. we are wet, cranky, someone has been sick over their 4th outfit of the day, i now have 'but i want to go to the coffee pop' being constantly repeated in my ear, and quite frankly i dont believe you do 'understand the implications this has caused me' i fear extra grey hairs may have been incurred and I now blame you for the extra 250 calories consumed by the large shiraz that evening, not to mention the whole calming down of every one as going home was clearly not on the boys agenda with Floss seemed to see his point and join in with.
So you can imagine my delight when 45 minutes after this event i received a message stating ' we are delighted to advise your parcel is ready for collection at your chosen store'
Rant over
Take care x

Procurement & Payment Services Home Page
Office of the State Comptroller(OSC)
Office of the General Services(OGS)
Food and beverage:
For many years, departments have not been required to obtain prior approval for the payment of food and/or beverage expenses. However, department heads remain responsible for their account balances, and must still determine whether State resources should be used to pay for food items.
Even though individual payment requests may be considered small, very large numbers of reimbursements are processed each year for food/beverage purchases that add up to a significant dollar amount each year. Caution must be exercised by department heads to ensure that expenses for food related items are proper State expenditures. As a State University, good responsible stewardship of public funds requires particular sensitivity in this area and good judgment. Department heads should consider whether the use of State funds would be defensible and generally accepted by the public, if it were to be published in the media.
Since it is not possible to provide a definitive list of appropriate and inappropriate expenditures, the following should be used as a guide:
Payment Procedure:
Use of the procurement card is encouraged for food purchases at stores that accept the procurement card. Please contact Donna Napier at ext. 5139 with questions. The procurement card cannot be used to pay for restaurant meal expenses.
In order to request reimbursement or payment for appropriate food, beverages, meals, etc., a requisition form should be submitted to Procurement & Payment Services accompanied by the following:
Giveaway type purchases (e.g., coffee mugs, seat cushions, trinkets) are not appropriate purchases using the Citibank VISA Purchasing Card or any other procurement method using State funds. Non-state funds should be used for these types of purchases. If non-state funds are not available within a department or program and the related activity is part of a departmental or program mission, a non-state process (known as the "recycling process") has been put into place to pay for these types of purchases. A department's budget will be recharged for the purchase through the Budgeting Office.
To request consideration through this process, please contact Mark Stacy at ext. 5149. A statement addressing why the purchase is necessary to accomplish a specific program mission, purpose or objective will be required and must include a State, DIFR or IFR account number that the purchase should be recharged to.
Please refer questions via email to Mark Stacy.

Ellen Kombiyil
2012/06/20 § Leave a comment
On the theme of Amelia Earhart
Amelia, Landing
Flying along the line of sun
I slice the sky, determined, metal.
Over the water, low-lying clouds,
flat, dark, that mimic unmapped islands.
Or I mistake misty islands for the shadows
of clouds. So many, dotted like pearls.
Above me, beautiful empty azure.
I feel I'm traveling to the dock
of before. I must be on you but
cannot see you. Fuel is running low.
Electra through the clouds parts
not-my-own shadow but earth, trees,
a wrecked steamer, signs of near
distant, near future habitation.
Author Biography
Ellen Kombiyil is a native of Syracuse, New York and a graduate of the University of Chicago. Her poetry has appeared or is forthcoming in Beloit Poetry Journal, Cider Press Review, Eclectica, MiPOesias, Sojourn and Spillway, among others. She is currently working on the manuscript for her first book. She lives in India with her husband and two children.

We Know Nothing About the Packers After Preseason Week 3
Well, there's no reason to believe the Green Bay Packers defense will be able to stop a high-powered offense this year. The Packers were gashed by the Seattle Seahawks No. 1 offense on Friday night in what was supposed to be their dress rehearsal.
Although the score was only 17-10, the dress rehearsal didn't really happen because Aaron Rodgers only played one series — and he again led the Packers to three points, while going 4-for-7 for 41 yards.
Most everyone else on the Packers first teams played at least into the second quarter, if not longer.
But as far as the Packers defense — gashed.
Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson played into the third. His first incomplete pass didn't come until the second quarter. Wilson started 7-for-7 and finished 11-for-17.
Wilson ended up throwing two picks — one to Casey Hayward in his first game back and one to Jerron McMillian, but that's the only thing that derailed the Seahawks offense.
Wilson ran once for 13 yards and the Packers held Marshawn Lynch in check (3 carries for 8 yards), but no one else. Lynch's backup, Robert Turbin, got plenty of snaps against the Packers No. 1 defense and ran 10 times for 50 yards. The third guy, Christine Michael, ran 11 times for 97 yards.
Granted, a lot of Michael's yards came against the second and third defense, but this is reason to be concerned, dude.
There's hope in those two turnovers, but then we're almost going back to 2011. Let's get into a shootout and hope the offense wins the day!
So, onto the players.
First, Randall Cobb and Tramon Williams were the notables that didn't play.
As far as the notables who did play, here we go.
Jeremy Ross took most of the returns. The Packers obviously want him to take this job and he gained 33 on one kickoff return and 11 on one punt return.
The running back order went like this: DuJuan Harris (3 for 2 yards), Eddie Lacy (8 for -5), Johnathan Franklin (4 for 1) and Alex Green (2 for 31). You should note that James Starks didn't get a carry.
You should probably also note no one else did shit. Harris got the majority of the playing time and Lacy got plenty too, but neither were able to find a hole. Green's yards came on a 31-yard scamper halfway through the 4th quarter.
That guy might be sticking around another week, at least. Starks? Can't imagine he's on the roster next week.
At quarterback, the Packers similarly wanted Graham Harrell to grab the backup job. He came in early in the 2nd quarter and performed his usual lackluster routine.
Here's what we're certain about with Harrell. He cannot throw deep. He's not accurate. He probably can't lead this team if Rodgers goes down. Harrell finished 6-for-13 for 49 yards. He also made a pitch in the 3rd that would have been a fumble, had Franklin not landed on it.
Let's be honest. This guy is a nightmare.
Which brings us to the next guy — Vince Young.
Young hasn't looked like anything special thus far, but on Friday night, Vince Young showed us what Vince Young can do. He's not going to throw any pretty balls, but he can lead a team downfield.
Young was 6-for-7 for 41 yards, but he also scrambled for a team-leading 39 yards. Oh, and he also threw the Packers only touchdown — to undrafted rookie Jonathan Amosa on his first series.
Let's teach this guy the offense and make him our backup, hey Mike?
So, now, let's single some guys out.
First, here's an interesting development. Mason Crosby tried the only field goals and extra point. No Giorgio Tavecchio to be found. Oh, and punter Tim Masthay kicked off to start the game.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that all but tells us the Packers are over Tavecchio and Crosby will probably be shanking kicks in Green Bay for another season.
Want to feel worse? The offensive line looked a lot like a gigantic pile of shit on Friday night.
We'll start with center Evan Dietrich-Smith, who got pushed around, especially in the run game. Oh, and Marshall Newhouse? You won't be starting ever again unless someone gets injured. Newhouse was at his most awful against Seattle and he didn't even play against their first team.
There must be some guys who impressed, though, right?
There were.
We'll start with Brad Jones. How about five tackles, including a sack in very limited action? Robert Francois displaced Jones early in the 2nd quarter and we actually wondered why.
Francois played like a man last week and we actually wondered aloud, "Why wouldn't Francois displace A.J. Hawk? He's the one who sucks."
Anyway, Francois almost came up with a pick late in the second, but he was out of position on Christine Michael's 43-yard TD run in the third. He also picked up a 15-yard taunting penalty late in the 3rd after McMillian's pick.
Still, he's better than Hawk.
Cornerback Davon House seemed to bounce back. After tanking against Arizona, House got surpassed by rookie Micah Hyde, but he played his best coverage game of the season on Friday.
Speaking of, Hyde started for the second week in a row. And he continued to impress, breaking up a deep throw to Golden Tate early in the 3rd. Hyde played into the 4th, when he was blitzing and stuffed Michael in the backfield. It's almost as if the Packers see a big role for this guy.
That's what we know now, which isn't a hell of a lot.
It now looks like we're not going to know who this team is or what they have until week 1 against San Francisco.
Monty McMahon is one of the founders of Total Packers. He is probably the most famous graduate of UW-Oshkosh next to Jim Gantner.
The Packer's STs sucked tonight at covering kicks and ST penalties. Hawk looks like an old man runing around on the field all stiff legged and jumping on the pile late 5-12 yds downfield. He needs to go. Wilson and Miller made a few good plays on the line. Our running game was horrible because of MM's play calling, running laterally right behind the line with their fast penetrating Def was a recipe for disaster. The one pitchout to Green went for 31 yds. Looked like he was using his playbook from the Ariz game. Hyde looked great again and with the injury to one of our starting safeties may open it for him to start. I think Harrell played himself onto the street as Young is looking much improved tonight.
Of course no RB gained yardage. With Graham in there the D knows there is no vertical threat, did you notice how many defenders were inside 10 yards of the LOS? No chance for the RB's, especially when you throw in backup lineman.
Lacy or DuJuan will be great with #12 under center, but with Graham… No chance. Cut his ass and let's roll with VY, at least he can run.
OK, the offensive line was as bad as you can be in terms of run blocking, and they were almost as bad when blocking for Harrell and Coleman; however, they held up quite well when Rodgers was in and decently when Young played.
The 1st team defense did not play poorly, yeah Wilson started off well hut those were mostly underneath routes, when he tried to go mid-to-deep he was picked twice. The front 7 also brought great pressure on many of the pass plays and held the line, for the most part, on the run plays. They also held the first team offense to 3 points through one half. The backups also brought good pressure but were absolutely dominated in the run game.
Nick Perry showed up tonight, as did Hayward, Jones,
Daniels, and Hyde.
Hello Vince Young, hasta la vista Graham Harrell.
Not worried about the defense, have about the same confidence level in the pass protection, but the run blocking took a big step back.
Yeah, the D didn't give up big plays, but they did exactly what they were notorious for last year – didn't tackle. Underneath routes. Yeah, Seattle got a number of first downs there. Why? Because guys were defending deep? Okay. Take away the deep pass and then let a guy run for 10 yards after the catch? No difference.
The first team defense made a number of plays on short passes, such as the one that forced Seattle to kick a FG. The only play by the first team defense that fits your description that I can recall today is the short pass to Lynch, which was indeed awful. Other than that I saw a defense that swarmed the ball better than in past years, the result being if one tackle was broken there were 3 or 4 other players right there tk gang tackle instead of bouncing off the ball handler in series.
Oh my. You got me. He made 2 plays all preseason.
Go back and look at the tape of the Rams game. Dude got his ass kicked all over the field the entire game starting with play number one. Just watch the first three or four plays of that game when the Rams had the ball. Continue on through that game and the previous preseason games. Then come talk to me.
Perry has bust written all over him. Watch and see.
He was alright vs. Arizona and played pretty well vs. Seattle. The fact of the matter is these are the first games he's played since missing the majority of his rookie season. A
season in which he had to adjust to a new position with new responsibilities and physical requirements in addition to having to acclimatize to the sppes of the professional game, all whilst being oversized for his position. This year he is still learning these basics as well as attempting to improve various rush techniques. Is the fact that he played netter in his most recent game vs. one of the beat OLs in football, albeit in the preseason not a cause for some modicum of optimism? I guess not. Oh well, you stick with your bust pick, I'll choose to believe he has the potential to be a solid-plus NFL OLB.
I was really disappointed to see Eddie Lacy struggle tonight. I was really looking forward to seeing him make some plays. I'm sure it wasn't all his fault though. And it doesn't help that we were playing the number one defense in the NFL. Also, it looks like DuJuan Harris re-injured his knee. That's really disappointing. Hopefully it isn't major.
It was good to see Vince Young do well today. Graham Harrell sucked again and Coleman didn't get anything done. Weird that Aaron Rodgers only played one series.
Overall, just a really boring game. Hopefully we do better next week.
from my view – watched Hyde this week in practice and then at the game. This dude can play. He is always around the ball. Always hustling. He played practically the entire game tonite. Defense and special teams in all 4 qtrs. And he started. He is going to play a ton. Goldedn Taint & Pete Carroll got his booed regularly and loudly. That was fun……..
To the contrary I felt our defense played pretty well. Put pressure on the qb, held them to a field goal, created turnovers. As someone else pointed out, Lacy was ineffectual becuase Harrell exacerbates the problems in the line, especially against a defensive front like the Seahawks.
The guys played phyiscal, pissed off.
I am concerned about our oline–but not our defense.
D-Line looked better than I expected as well given the changes in and out and all that…Don't hail the conquering hero in Vince Young..I am telling you the guys has way too much history of meltdowns and woe is me if he does get playing time or if he has a bad week…he is definitely not the answer…never should have been let back in the game! Walking away from team…not telling anyone…trying to get people to feel sorry for him because the NFL gets tough sometimes…gifts, of sure he has them…character and diligence…haven't seen them and I live in Texas and watched him not just on the field but off as well. Definitely should not be a long termer with the Pack!
Seattle had been absolutely destroying teams so far. I know its preseason, but the pack managed to slow that offense down. I'll take giving up 3 points a half anyday. As far as the offense, they moved the ball down the field and got points in rodgers one and only series. That's without nelson and cobb also. The offense will be fine. Lacy will be fine with a real qb under center. The pack stays healthy, this team wins no fewer then 11 games this year
Well I was at the game and I can tell you first hand that we have only improved in a couple of areas which you had mentioned in this article. I told everyone to get ready to see a real defense from top to bottom out there…and I wasn't talking about the Packers. I will state that we are not as far off as I originally thought and you never know, with the way the ball bounces from season to season…luck may be on our side.
Don't be so pessimistic- we learned that Harrell cannot compete against a first team defense, which is what he would encounter weekly if Rodgers went down. Cut him with immunity- no team is going to sign him, so if you had to revisit his status due to Doomsday he'll be sitting at home grooming his beard. VY is the best option out there at this point; just hope it doesn't become necessary.
Roughing the passer call on Manning was ridiculous, no head shot, and it was the QB himself going airborne when tackled. Reminiscent of the bogus RTP call against Perry last year. It has to be hard for the coaches to preach aggression and physicality on defense when it is being legislated out of the game.
Here's what we know after the preseason. Against the 49ers, McCarthy will ask Rodgers to throw the ball every play until it absolutely doesn't work and Rodgers gets klled and in despair McCarthy willl revert to calling one of his 3 running plays on his card. We know this because this has been McCarthy's pattern for every season he's coached. About the 8th game, with the season on the verge of collapse, he'll call more runs.
Irvin wasnt out..i think he sacked harrell..or had some pressure on him. That offensive line is crap! That zone blocking bs with these small offensive linemen has to go! Its been what 6 years and still cant run it effectively? Safety play..still not very good at times..I still dont see what they see in burnett..the guys still too inconsistent.
Yea, keep making excuses for the lousy OLine run blocking.
Lacy got 37 of his 40 yards LAST week after the first contact (usually in the backfield) and behind the first-team OLine. This is a smallish, weak, inexperienced OLine the Packers are throwing out there, none of whom were the starters last year at their current position in game 1. Think about that. They ranked near the bottom in run blocking.
Lacy, Franklin and Harris all had fewer yards than carries. Unbelievably bad.
The packers talk tough but they are a finesse team, that relies on turnovers on D and Aaron Rodgers' arm on O. They just do not and will not match up well against big physical teams.
Why would anybody expect anything different last night? Still have old chase and grab Hawk at ILB; he intimidates nobody. Still, fat soft, Raji, young CB and S still trying to learn Capers' intricate defense and thinking too much.
On offense, this line will never win the physical battle against Seattle. Didn't last year and won't in 2013. And, McCarthy just seems unwilling to let go of Graham Harrell and his dink and dunk silliness. We got a double portion last night and Harrell couldn't do it with the first string O either.
If any of us needed a reminder to NEVER get pumped for a preseason game, we were cured of that.
The story of the game was boredom, injuries and boredom.
Game was 3-3 at half. So, not sure what game Monty was watching. Maybe he accidently tuned into the Bears-Raiders (27-3 at half) and got the two confused.
Doesn't much matter what happens between the 20s or how completions Wilson has in a row if they aren't putting up any points.
Brad Jones looked good, then pulled hammy.
Casey Hayward got a pick in his return, then pulled a hammy.
Morgan Burnett was invisible per usual, then pulled a hammy.
DuJuan Harris was the best RB the Packers had out there, then hurt his knee.
David Bakhtiari looked like he needed to hold on every play. The entire O-line had it handed to them on every running down. Got their asses flat out kicked. Eddie Lacy? Put AP behind that line and you'll lose yards.
Graham Harrell leading the Packer offense against the #1 Seattle defense? No contest. Harrell converts a third down to Boykin- fumble. Harrell hits Finley on a nice back shoulder seam pass- dropped. Harrell has one chance to score a TD against said defense- Finley drops it.
Too dazed and confused to throw the ball, VY scrambles against drastically less talented Seattle back ups. I've seen lava flow uphill faster. Too bad VY didn't get a shot against the first team. I think they would have knocked him out of football to stay.
Datone Jones surprisingly played. So what? You couldn't tell. I think the question of whether this guy is going to help against San Fran has been answered. Maybe in the playoffs, if the Packers get that far.
Johnny Jolly got smoked on the TD run that made it 10-3.
Loyce Means- good bye.
James Starks – good bye. Good luck elsewhere.
Keep Nate Palmer and Sam Barrington.
Keep Chris Banjo.
Start VY next week and see what he can do against a 1st team defense. Shit, I imagine. But let's see it. Put Coleman on the PS.
Vijay, did you post under Iltarion's name? Wait there's too much logic admixed with Geaham Harrell apologetics.
Bak-T actually looked decent in pass protection (the holding penalty he was called for was borderline at best), but he looked overwhelmed in run blocking along with the rest of the o-line for most of the game, though they seemed fine when Rodgers was in (except for the last play, but that was a blitz).
Generally you don't want your SBs to be visible because that usually means they're getting beat; that said I didn't focus my attention on Burnett but I'm pretty sure he made one or two plays including a nice stop on a 3rd down completion.
Missed the long run when I was doing dishes so I don't know if that was the Jolly Green's fault, Francois', or both, but if it was even partially JJ's, that's likely due to conditioning as he already played a good portion of the 1st half.
Enough with the Graham Harrell apologetics, I defended him for a while as well but it's become quite apparent that he us not the answer. Pretty sure he hasn't completed a ball thrown 20 yards in the air in two entire preseasons, yeah, Finley should have had that seam route and yeah, DJ Williams drops 60% of the passes thrown his way (though a handful would have been fantastic catches), but Harrell also can't throw the ball accurately 25 yards downfield, sorry but that ain't gonna pass muster. As for the TD pass, maybe Finley should have caught it but it would have been a remarkable play, Harrell led him too much, and could have made a better pass.
Palmer and Barrington both earned roster spots, IMO.
Agree on Starks and Means, and would add Williams to the list. That fumble may have cost Stoneburner a PS spot, depending on how he rebounds in game 4; Dorsey didn't impress but it was his first game, obviously the next one will be the true crucible for him.
HUH?…………..A "crucible" is a container that can withstand very high temperatures and is used for metal, glass, and pigment production……phatboy…Drop the $20 words, especially when you have no clue what they mean. You're welcome
A porcelain crucible is also used in chemical pricesses to to heat compounds with strong bonds to high temperatures (particularly when trying to obtain precipitates); I've had 2 full years of chemistry, trust me, I know what a crucible is. From this definition was exapted to form the less corporeal definition of a severe examination intended to test one's abilities.
Please cease the opprobrium of my person and my
oratory (esp. since you have yet to respond accurately) and actually rejoin to my comments regarding our shared favorite football team, preferably with some semblance of logic (I know you have the ability to do so, I've witnessed it).
Aaaand, Graham Harrell is to be cut folks… Ted and I just decided we'll roll with VY… You're welcome.
1st of all…Remember the Hawks are a strong front 7….OK, Lets do this..
Running backs: It's hard to run, when the offensive lineman are getting pushed back into the running backs.
Pass blocking: See above.
1st team defense played ok. Created turnovers. Kept points down.
Micah Hyde is gonna be a farging monster Pro-Bowl safety ( I think)……Capers should have a game tape sit down with Tramon, and show him game tape of Hyde..And say: "See?" "That's how you play football." "you P O S!!.
Surprised Rodgers was pulled so early, but i'm not worried about the offense (except for the O line)…What do you think iltarion?
Finley…HE'S BACK!!!!…….Football pass….right "through" Finleys hands. I guess that's part of his "Monster season"….I don't know. Maybe 7 million isn't enough…..Good riddance when TT realizes your a overpaid waste of space. (No offence Tramon).
Bakhtiari…..We have to give that dude some time. He's a rook being asked to play the toughest position. He doesn't look as bad as Newhouse. Has decent feet, looks like a player. Needs some time to grow.
Overall….Against a strong team….I thought the #1 defense was respectable. Certain players are showing a lot more effort tackling. AJ Hawk is still slow as a turtle. He'll be history next season, along with the other overpaid dead weight players. (No offence Tramon).
Jolly and Pickett?…Tuck in your shirts you fat bastards. :)
Only weakness we have right now is OL. Packers are ripe with trade bait. Remember a few years back when we almost got Marshawn Lynch? Bulaga needs replacing, no time to wait on developing Bakhtiari. Hawk, Raji and Alex Green and to a lesser degree Johnathan Franklin are all expedable. Why not try to pry Joe Thomas from Cleveland. God knows they need help in almost every department.
If the old Ursus maritimus could swing that I would silly my drawers with glee, but the Browns likely aren't going to part with their franchise LT and possibly the best player in the league at the 2nd or 3rd most valuable position.
Not unless we give them the best player in all of football or Bulaga and a decade's worth of 1st round picks.
My takeaway from the game was that Rodgers should have been MVP again last year. With ARodg at QB, the OLine looks serviceable because they have to respect his scrambling ablity and quick release while maintaining lane discipline. When the OLine is serviceable and we have a threat to actually run the ball, like we do now with Lacy, lots of other good things happen off that – like being forced to honor the play fake. The more their D is guessing what the man is going to do, the more our D is on the sidelines. To me, it all starts and ends with Rodgers.
With Harrell in, safeties can play up. The D Linemen can "pin their ears back" and rush the passer, not worry about the play fake, and the LB's can just read/react. It's just night and day different. Sorry Graham, I was hopeful at one point, but no longer. Good luck in the CFL.
Wilson's nice scramble in the first or second series was right where JJ should have been but fell down (perhaps he was held). That created that huge lane and exemplifies what I'm talking about with lane discipline.
Anyone else wish we still had Giacomini?

Plant and flower identification service www.MisterSmartyPlants.com has launched a new Android app dedicated to crowd-sourced plant identification.
The new app brings a virtual community of plant experts to any Android mobile device. The app is not a field guide and requires no advance knowledge of plants.
App users upload images of unknown flowers and plants they encounter, then real people work to identify the photos. After enough ID votes are entered, the photo poster is emailed or tweeted with the identification.
"Plant and flower ID is one of those tasks that humans are much better at than computers." says John Ellis, the service's founder. "For example the automated LeafSnap app was developed by some of the world's best image processing experts but — the app is limited to trees — only trees in the northeast United States — requires the user to tape a leaf flat to a paper — and even with these restrictions has a high failure rate."
"I started the service not because I am plant expert (I am not) but because and wanted a way to snap a picture of a plant with my mobile phone and have the phone tell me the name." concluded Ellis.
The app is available in the Google Play store.

May 6, 2016
The double murder in Greenville early Tuesday morning has many business owners near the shooting concerned.
The owners say they're not concerned about business, but the perception of the area.
Jay Long owns a convenience store on the same corner where the shooting took place. He says the police continue to patrol the downtown area, especially while his store is open when the clubs are. "Downtown get bad press, but it's a safe place to be. You hear of things happening on the outskirts of town, but in the downtown area itself you just don't hear of thing like this."
Kelly Boutilier, the owner of Moxie's Clothing store, says the deaths of the two people has left her shaken. "It's really scary,um, my heart goes out to the victims it's such a senseless crime it's just really unbelievable."
Greenville's Police Chief William Anderson says on Monday's and Tuesday's they have about one or two officers patrolling the area, while on busier nights there are close to 20.
Anderson says Greenville and downtown are still a safe place, but in light of this shooting, they will increase patrols when the clubs are open.

Ken Wright Cellars Savoya Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008
Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon
Winemaker's Notes
Blueberry, blackberry, clove and tea aromatics. Lush palate presence. Complex flavors that mirror the nose and a forward mouthfeel with less acidity than the volcanic sites.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Supple, open-textured and inviting, letting its plum, currant and sweet spice flavors float easily through the refined texture, hovering over the long, delicate finish."
The Wine Advocate - "The medium ruby-colored 2008 Pinot Noir Savoia displays an ethereal perfume of cedar, spice box, rose petal, and assorted red fruits. Leaner and racier on the palate than its peers, this is an elegantly styled effort with impeccable balance and a lengthy, seamless finish."
Wine Enthusiast - "The Savoya Pinot Noir displays excellent concentration and grip and its raspberry/cherry fruit gives it a tart, racy flair. There's an herbal edge to the tannins, but overall this is very well crafted, balanced and built for medium-term cellaring. "

Ken Wright Cellars Winery
Located in rural Carlton, Oregon, Ken Wright Cellars is devoted to showcasing the inherent quality of selected vineyard sites. With a clarity and breadth that is unequaled by other varieties, we believe Pinot noir best expresses the character of these sites. Rather than stamping wine with a varietal trademark, Pinot noir is the ultimate vehicle for conveying the aroma, flavor and texture of the location in which it is grown.
We also have a place in our hearts for the limited production of two white wines, Chardonnay from Celilo Vineyard near White Salmon, Washington, and Pinot Blanc from Freedom Hill Vineyard and Meredith Mitchell Vineyard. View all Ken Wright Cellars Wines
About Willamette ValleyView a map of Willamette Valley wineries (will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley are are number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About OregonOregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

Three SFL teams in section's top six
By: Kurt Johnson, The Press Tribune
Initial power ratings put Woodcreek at No. 2 in D-II
It is just a preliminary snapshot, but the Sac-Joaquin Section released its first basketball power ratings Monday, providing a glimpse of where teams stand as they enter the season's final weeks. The good news for the Sierra Foothill League comes at the top of the ledger, where Woodcreek (No. 2), Rocklin (No. 5) and Oakmont (No. 6) are in good position in Division II. An error in the teams' records will be corrected for next week, and with it fixed, the Vikings would actually be in the fifth position this week. The relevance of that shift will be eliminated Wednesday night when those two teams go head-to-head on the court, with one moving ahead of the other going forward. "This week is as tough as ever," said Oakmont coach Rick Campbell. "We get Rocklin here on Wednesday and have to go up to Del Oro on Friday. We are just trying to survive night in and night out." The goal for everyone is to reach the top four, with the possibility of two home playoff games that would come with it, but the top eight get to host one postseason contest. "Getting to the top four in the power ratings is everyone's goal because you get two home games," said Woodcreek coach Burnel Pinkerton. "The section can move people as they see fit so you really don't know until the brackets come out exactly where you will be." Somewhat surprising in this release is Granite Bay's position outside the playoff spots. The Grizzlies sit at No. 18, needing some wins in the highly competitive SFL to get into the playoff mix. With its 14-8 overall record, it seems that Granite Bay would be in a better spot, especially considering that the Grizzlies are 4-0 against non-SFL teams that are currently above them on the grid. "I thought we might be a little higher based upon our preseason record, but I know that your league results count for more," said Granite Bay coach Jason Sitterud. "Our attitude is to focus on the task at hand one game at a time. The nice thing is that with every win we should climb up the ladder, so we will work hard to get as many wins as possible down the stretch as see where the chips fall." In Division V, Valley Christian Academy is in a great spot for now, sitting at No. 4. The Lions still have work to do, but this is the highest ranking in the history of the school. "We have a couple of possible bumps in the road before playoff time," said VCA coach Brad Gunter. "Hopefully we take care of business and it comes down to the last game of the year at home for a league title and possibly moving up to the No. 3 spot against Bradshaw." Gunter is still concentrating mostly on the league title in the SMAL. "Our first and main priority is a league title," Gunter said. "We have only had one league title in basketball in the last 14 seasons and that puts the banner in the gym. Playoffs are bonus games." Del Oro of the SFL presently sits at No. 9 in the Division III ratings.
