McKinnie biggest early-season surprise for Ravens?
It's hard to overstate how important new left tackle Bryant McKinnie was in the Ravens 35-7 beatdown of the Steelers Sunday.
Normally I don't focus on a particular offensive lineman when I'm watching an NFL game. Unless you wear a headset and hold a laminated playsheet in front of your mouth on Sundays in the fall, who does?
About the only time I find offensive linemen fascinating is during meals, because the amount of food these guys inhale is other-wordly.
Having said that, I watched McKinnie a lot during the Ravens win, mainly to see if the big guy was going to collapse with exhaustion from not being in tip-top shape when the Ravens first signed him a few weeks ago.
Instead, he looked solid, even spectacular at times.
Some early observations: maybe he's listed at 6-foot-8 and 360 pounds in your program, but he seems even bigger than that. He's the size of a redwood tree. That 360-pound listing, in particular, needs adjusting. Upward.
If you saw him in the locker room after Sunday's game with his shirt off, you knew he wasn't living on Diet Cokes and salads since his release by the Minnesota Vikings. Not with that gut.
But he's also way quicker than you'd think, too.
On the Ravens' first play from scrimmage, a 36-yard run by Ray Rice that set the tone for the entire afternoon, McKinnie fired off the line and obliterated two Steelers (linebackers James Farrior and James Harrison).
This was the kind of play that gets coaches hooting and high-fiving each other and replaying it over and over again when they break down game film.
John Harbaugh couldn't stop talking about McKinnie and his upside in his post-game remarks.
"We've seen it in practice and he's a very mobile, athletic guy," the Ravens coach said. "I only think he's going to get better. He really wants to do well. He's a very motivated guy. He's a very smart guy. He's very determined.
"I think he wants to be an important cog in this football team. And he's only going to get better, because he's going to get in better shape, and he's really a hard-working guy."
Whew. And that was even before Harbaugh saw the game film.
Yeah, I think the Ravens like their new left tackle just fine so far.

Muslim Channel
Top Ten (Plus One) Islamophobes
Steve Emerson
Steve Emerson is the founder and executive director of the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT), a nonprofit organization whose aim is to uncover the Islamic takeover of America. After publishing Terrorist: The Inside Story of the Highest-Ranking Iraqi Terrorist Ever to Defect to the West, Emerson, who then was an investigative correspondent for CNN, produced the 1994 documentary film, "Jihad in America," about the secret operations of Islamic militant groups in America.
Emerson founded IPT in 1995 and since then has written six books on terrorism and national security issues. According to "Fear, Inc." (Center for American Progress's report on the Islamophobia network in the United States), IPT solicits money by selling the idea that Muslims are dangerous. He also has pushed the flaming statistic that 80 percent of mosques in America are "ruled by extremists."
Emerson also has targeted Democratic and Republican government officials of supporting radical Islam by their participation in outreach and bridge-building projects with American Muslim communities. When Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) nominated Sohail Mohammed for state judgeship, Emerson said the governor had a "strange relationship with radical Islam." Emerson has also accused President Barack Obama of giving Islamists "free rein for them to have influence of the administration."

Top 20 WrestleMania moments: No. 16
Edge vs. Mick Foley (WrestleMania 22, 2006)
In the buildup to this hardcore match, Foley talked about how he had accomplished a lot in his career, but he never had a "WrestleMania moment." He got it during this match, when Edge speared him through a flaming table for the victory. In a brutal encounter that featured thumbtacks and barbed wire baseball bats, another memorable spot occurred when Foley applied the "Socko Claw" – with Mr. Socko wrapped in barbed wire – to Edge's girlfriend, Lita, who received a bloody lip. In the end, Foley did what he has done several times in his career: he helped make his opponent into a bigger star. He also added to his own reputation as a "Hardcore Legend."

Morris and more
Posted By Jerry Carino On July 17, 2007 @ 1:48 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Here is today's Gannett New Jersey story on Christian Morris, a talented power forward who verballed to Rutgers on Monday. Love the Tom Konchalski quote at the bottom of the story.
Link: christian…morris [1]
Hoops Haven analysis: This was a must for Rutgers. Morris will provide critical frontcourt support and nice inside balance to the outside threat posed by fellow 2008 recruit Mike Rosario. It's also interesting that the story mentions Olu Ashaolu as part of Rutgers' 2008 class despite his recent declaration of uncertainty. The word on the street is that Olu will not wind up with the Scarlet Knights. We'll see.
Also on the recruiting front:
Two names to watch as Seton Hall looks to close out its Class of 2008:
1. Renaldo Woolridge, a 6-7 wing forward from California and son of former NBA player Orlando Woolridge. He has his own web site. Check it out: http://www.renaldowoolridge.com/ [2]
2. Allan Chaney, a 6-8 power forward from Connecticut. Had a strong Reebok U. camp in Philadelphia and his stock is rising.

February 2, 1999
Sixteen children were enrolled, with a mean age of 6.7 years (the range was 1.8 to 13.4 years), and a mean viral load of 4.4 log, and a mean T-cell count of 751. Regimens used with hydroxyurea included d4T/ddI (11 children), ddI (2 children), d4T (1 child), and d4T/3TC (1 child). They were treated for a mean duration of 16 weeks, with 5 of the 16 children (31%) experiencing a greater than 0.5 log drop in viral load by week 4. By week 16, appreciable changes in T-cell count were not observed.
The study found short-term therapy with HU to be safe and effective for some children who add the drug to a stable antiretroviral regimen. It is important to note that hydroxyurea was held temporarily during the first month of therapy in four cases because of neutropenia (low white cell count). However, all patients ultimately resumed hydroxyurea without incident. Finally, pharmacokinetic analysis showed that children may metabolize HU more rapidly than adults, and thus may require larger doses of HU per kilogram of body weight.

|Oboro, Kamigawa
|Soratami planeswalker
|see external links
Tamiyo is a blue-aligned Soratami planeswalker.
History[edit | edit source]
Kamigawa[edit | edit source]
When the Soratami field scholar's spark ignited, the secrets the Multiverse offered were a greater dream than any she had ever had. Each plane seemed to be an unexplored trove of knowledge to be brought back to the great scroll-towers of Oboro. For Tamiyo, every plane holds a mystery that makes it unique, and she spends a great deal of time studying whatever she can.
Innistrad[edit | edit source]
On Innistrad she found the mystery of the great silver moon that hung in the sky. Tamiyo observed Innistrad for many cycles, using her powers as a Planeswalker to gain insight into the forces the moon exerted on the world below. She watched with rapt attention how the moon affected the werewolves and vampires on Innistrad, and she wrote extensive notes on the ebb and flow of violent frenzies in relation to the moon's influence. Her curiosity eventually led her to the door of the famed Nephalian astronomancer Jenrik. Tamiyo spent months in his moonstone tower poring over countless charts, adding her own observations to his collection about the odd power the moon holds over the denizens and populace of this plane.
When Avacyn was freed from the Helvault Tamiyo excitedly began writing theories about the angel's influence on the land, its creatures, and the moon. The nature of the Helvault, the creation of the wolfir, the reappearance of the gryffs, and the origins of the newly empowered holy wards have been filling her scrolls with further questions.

When you visit the Local History Room, walk over to the shelf that has the 328s. There you will find a series of dark red, unassuming volumes that appear to be filled with useless information. How untrue that is! These books are known as the Michigan Manual and are published every two years by the State of Michigan pursuant to section 24.24 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, meaning it's required by law. They are filled with a voluminous amount of information on such subjects as Michigan's history and its government. It has information on all the statewide elected officials including the Representatives and State Senators and each of Michigan's Departments listing all the members of various boards and commissions. You can get population numbers for each of our 83 counties, the voting results for the previous primary, special and general elections, the members of the constitution convention of 1961-62 and the names of the Michigan Asparagus Commission. For someone like me who teaches Michigan History, these books are amazing. The Local History Room has manuals on the shelves going back to 1925 and in storage ones dating back to 1861. So the next time you are in the Local History Room and don't know what to do, pick up one of these books. Who knows what you might find.

|Black Donald (Scottish Gaelic: Domhnall Dubh or Domnuill-dhu) is a Highland colloquialism for the Devil in Scottish mythology. The defining characteristic of Black Donald is his cloven feet, which betray whatever disguise he assumes.
|The boobrie is a mythical water bird of Scottish Highlands folklore. It is said to be similar to a great northern diver, but with white markings and the ability to roar. The creature is the metamorphosed form of the each uisge and haunts lochs and salt wells.
|In Scottish folklore the Ghillie Dhu or Gille Dubh is a faerie, a guardian spirit of the trees. He is kind to children, but generally wild and shy. Said to be dark haired, he is described as clothed in leaves and moss (similar to a Green Man in England and Wales). He especially likes birch trees, and is most active at night. In lore, this solitary spirit is said to reside primarily near Gairloch and Loch a Druing.
Scotlands best known Mythological creature is of course the Loch Ness monster, She is known all over the World,
and we just love her to bits here in Scotland. Click here for more on our most famous daughter.
A brownie/brounie or urisk (Lowland Scots) or brùnaidh, ùruisg, or gruagach (Scottish Gaelic) is a legendary kind of creature popular in folklore around Scotland and England (especially the north, though more commonly hobs have this role). It is the Scottish and Northern English counterpart of the Scandinavian tomte, the Slavic domovoi or the German Heinzelmännchen.
The ùruisg had the qualities of man and spirit curiously commingled. He had a peculiar fondness for solitude at certain seasons of the year. About the end of Harvest he became more sociable, and hovered about farmyards, stables and cattle-houses. He had a particular fondness for the products of the dairy, and was a fearful intruder on milkmaids, who made regular libations of milk or cream to charm him off, or to procure his favour. He could be seen supposedly only by those who had the second sight, though instances where he made himself visible to people not so Gifted have been rumoured. He is said to have been a jolly personable being with a broad blue bonnet, flowing yellow hair, and a long walking staff.
Every manor house had its ùruisg, and in the kitchen, close by the fire was a seat, which was left unoccupied for him. The house of a proprietor on the banks of the River Tay was even at the beginning of the twentieth century believed to have been haunted by this sprite, and a particular apartment therein has been for centuries called "Seòmar Bhrùnaidh" (Brownie's room). When irritated through neglect or disrespectful treatment he would not hesitate to become wantonly mischievous. He was notwithstanding, rather gainly and good-natured rather than formidable. Though, on the whole, a lazy, lounging hobgoblin, he would often bestir himself on behalf of those who understood his humours, and suited themselves thereto. When in this mood, he was known to perform many arduous exploits in kitchen, barn and stable, with marvellous precision and rapidity. These kind turns were done without bribe, fee or reward, for the offer of any one of these would banish him forever. Kind treatment was all he ever wished for, and it never failed to procure his favour.
In 1703, John Brand wrote in his description of Zetland that:
"Not above forty or fifty years ago, every family had
a brownie, or evil spirit, so called, which served them, to
which they gave a sacrifice for his service; as when they churned
their milk, they took a part thereof, and sprinkled every corner
of the house with it, for Brownie's use; likewise, when
they brewed, they had a stone which they called 'Brownie's
stane', wherein there was a little hole into which they
poured some wort for a sacrifice to Brownie. They also had
some stacks of corn, which they called Brownie's Stacks,
which, though they were not bound with straw ropes, or in any
way fenced as other stacks used to be, yet the greatest storm
of wind was not able to blow away straw off them."
British folklore also included a figure, Billy Blind or Billy Blin, much like the brownie, but appearing only in ballads.
The Fachen (also known as Fachan or Fachin or Peg Leg Jack ) is a creature with only half a body in Scottish and Scots-Irish folklore. Supposedly its appearance, which includes a mane of black feathers tufted at the top and a very wide mouth, is so frightening that it induces heart attacks. It can destroy an orchard with a chain in its strong, singular, withered arm, in a single night. A story in John Francis Campbell's Popular Tales of the West Highlands features a Fachen named Nesnas Mhiccallain being defeated in a race by the story's hero, Murachadh Mac Brian, who became king of Ireland. In Popular Tales of the West Highlands the Fachen is described as follows:
Ugly was the make of the Fachin; there was one hand out of the ridge of his chest, and one tuft out of the top of his head, it were easier to take a mountain from the root than to bend that tuft.
It is also known as Direach Ghlinn Eitidh, or the Dwarf of Glen Etive.
The kelpie is a supernatural water horse from Celtic folklore that is believed to haunt the rivers and lochs of Scotland and Ireland.
Its hide was supposed to be black (though in some stories it was white), and will appear to be a lost pony, but can be identified by its constantly dripping mane. Its skin is like that of a seal, smooth, but is as cold as death when touched. The horse's appearance is strong, powerful, and breathtaking. Water horses are also known to transform into handsome men in order to lure women into their traps. It is understood that the nostril of the horse is what creates the illusion of grandeur. The water horse also creates illusions to keep itself hidden, keeping only its eye above water to scout the surface, much like the illusion of a fish's pupil. It is wise to keep away from them. If a human climbs on the back of a water horse, the horse will often dive into the water and drown its rider. If a human gains control over the horse it can be put to work in fields. Water Horses have the strength of ten land horses and do not like to be enslaved and will try every trick to escape. The water horse then courts its master for several years before it consumes only the left leg and right hand pinky finger of the victim.
The water horse is also a common form of the kelpie, said to lure mortals, especially children, into the water to drown and eat them. It performs this act by encouraging children to ride on its back. Once its victims fall into its trap, the kelpie's skin becomes adhesive and it bears them into the river, dragging them to the bottom of the water and devouring them - except the heart or liver. A common Scottish tale is the story of nine children lured onto a kelpie's back, while a tenth keeps his distance. The kelpie chases him and tries to catch him, but he escapes. A variation on this is that the tenth child simply strokes the kelpie's nose, but when his finger becomes stuck to it he takes a knife from his pocket and cuts his own finger off. He saves himself, but is unable to help his friends as they are pulled underwater with the kelpie. Commonly known as spirits of the dead, kelpies are not benevolent creatures.
An exception is a Scottish tale in which, towards the end of the mystical period of Scotland, a water horse fails to travel to Tír na nÓg with its fellow mystic folk, and instead rises above water, seeking a wife. However, after attempting to court a clever girl, who consults the wiseman about the situation, he is captured and forced to work in order to be taught compassion. After learning his lesson, he is given the choice of departing to Tír na nÓg, or drinking a magic potion that will make him a real man. The water horse, now full of love decides to drink the potion which erases the memories of his life as a water horse and gives him the chance to live with the clever girl with whom he has fallen in love.
A Red Cap or Redcap, also known as a powrie or dunter, is a type of imaginary malevolent murderous dwarf, goblin, elf or fairy found in Border Folklore. They are said to inhabit ruined castles found along the border between England and Scotland. Redcaps are said to murder travelers who stray into their homes and dye their hats with their victims' blood (from which they get their name).Redcaps must kill regularly, for if the blood staining their hats dries out, they die. Redcaps are very fast in spite of the heavy iron pikes they wield and the iron-shod boots they wear. Outrunning a redcap is supposedly impossible; the only way to escape one is to quote a passage from the Bible. They lose a tooth on hearing it, which they leave behind.
They are depicted as sturdy old men with red eyes, taloned hands and large teeth, wearing a red cap and bearing a pikestaff in the left hand
The tale of one in Perthshire has him as more benign; living in a room in Grantully Castle, he bestows good fortune on those who see or hear him.
The Kabouter, or redcaps of Dutch folklore, are very different,
and more akin to brownies
Selkies (also known as silkies or selchies) are creatures found in Faroese, Icelandic, Irish, and Scottish mythology.
They can transform themselves from seals to humans. The legend apparently originated on the Orkney Islands, where selch or selk(ie) is the Scots word for seal (from Old English seolh).
In The Secret of Roan Inish, a fisherman steals the selkie's pelt while she is sunbathing. She is then forced to return to his house, as she cannot escape back into the sea, and becomes his wife and bears him children. The skin of the seal gives her power over men, but without it she is a mortal woman, trapped on land, slave to the whims of her husband. The life there slowly suffocates her and she spends much time splashing in the shallows of the ocean. Years later, one of the children sees the pelt and asks what it is. The wife immediately knows, drops what she is doing and retrieves the pelt from its hiding place, having long ago despaired of ever finding it. She does not hesitate; she rushes to the ocean to return to her former life as a seal.
The selkie legend is also told in Wales, but in a slightly different form. The selkies are humans who have returned to the sea. Dylan (Dylan Eil Don) the firstborn of Arianrhod, was variously a merman or sea spirit, who in some versions of the story escapes to the sea immediately after birth.
In the Faroe Islands there are two versions of the story of the Selkie or Seal Wife. A young farmer from the town of Mikladalur on Kalsoy island goes to the beach to watch the selkies dance. He hides the skin of a beautiful selkie maid, so she can't go back to sea, and forces her to marry him. He keeps her skin in a chest, and keeps the key with him both day and night. One day when out fishing, he discovers that he has forgotten to bring his key. When he returns home, the selkie wife has escaped back to sea, leaving their children behind. Later, when the farmer on a hunt kills both her selkie husband and two selkie sons, she promises to take revenge upon the men of Mikladalur. Some shall be drowned, some shall fall from cliffs and slopes, and this shall continue, until so many men have been lost that they will be able to link arms around the whole island of Kallsoy.
Male selkies are very handsome in their human form, and have great seduction powers over human women. They typically seek those who are dissatisfied with their romantic life. This includes married women waiting for their fishermen husbands. If a woman wishes to make contact with a selkie male, she has to go to a beach and shed seven tears into the sea.
If a man steals a female selkie's skin, she is in his power, to an extent, and she is forced to become his wife — a regional variant on the motif of the swan maiden, unusual in that the bride's animal form is usually a bird. Female selkies are said to make excellent wives, but because their true home is the sea, they will often be seen gazing longingly at the ocean. If she finds her skin again, she will immediately return to her true home, and sometimes to her selkie husband, in the sea.
Sometimes, a selkie maiden is taken as a wife by a human man and she has several children by him. In these stories, it is one of her children who discovers her sealskin (often unwitting of its significance) and she soon returns to the sea. The selkie woman usually avoids seeing her human husband again but is sometimes shown visiting her children and playing with them in the waves.
Selkies are not always faithless lovers. One tale tells of the fisherman Cagan who married a seal-woman. Against his wife's wishes he set sail dangerously late in the year, and was trapped battling a terrible storm, unable to return home. His wife shifted to her seal form and saved him, even though this meant she could never return to her human body and hence her happy home.
Some stories from Shetland have selkies luring islanders into the sea at midsummer, the lovelorn humans never returning to dry land.
Seal shapeshifters similar to the selkie exist in the folklore
of many cultures. A corresponding creature existed in Swedish
legend, and the Chinook Indians of North America have a similar
tale of a boy who changes into a seal (see the children's story
The Boy Who Lived With The Seals by Rafe Martin). Jane Yolen
incorporated such a shapeshifters as a selkie into her picture
book, Greyling.
In Irish mythology, the aos sí , older form aes sídhe, Irish pronunciation are a powerful, supernatural race comparable to the fairies or elves. They are variously believed to live underground in the fairy mounds, across the western sea, or in an invisible world that coexists with the world of humans. This world is described in the Book of Invasions (Book of Leinster) as a parallel universe in which the aos sí walk amongst the living.
In the Irish language, aos sí means "people of the mounds". In Irish literature they are also referred to as the daoine sídhe ("deena shee"), and in Scottish Gaelic literature as the daoine sìth or daoine sìdh. They are variously believed to be the ancestors, the spirits of nature, or the goddesses and gods themselves.
In folk belief and practice, the aos sí are often propitiated with offerings, and care is taken to avoid angering or insulting them. Often they are not named directly, but rather spoken of with euphemisms such as "The Good Neighbors," "The Fair Folk," or simply "The Folk", in the hope that if humans describe them as kind, they are more likely to be so. In this vein, the most common names for them, aos sí, aes sídhe, daoine sídhe (singular duine sídhe) and daoine sìth mean, literally, "people of peace".
Aos sí are sometimes seen as fierce guardians of their abodes - whether that be a fairy hill, a fairy ring, a special tree (often a hawthorn), or perhaps a particular loch or wood. The Gaelic Otherworld is seen as being closer at the times of dusk and dawn, therefore this is seen as a time special to the aos sí, as are some of the festivals such as Samhain, Beltane and Midsummer. The aos sí are generally described as stunningly beautiful, though they can also be terrible and hideous.
In a number of later, English language texts, the word sídhe was used for both the mounds and the people of the mounds. However, this is a modern phenomenon, and sidh in older texts refers specifically to "the palaces, courts, halls or residences" of "the ghostly beings which according to Gaedhelic mythology inhabited them" (O'Curry, E., Lectures on Manuscript Materials, Dublin 1861, p504, quoted by Evans-Wentz 1966, p291).
The fact that many of these sídhe have been found to be ancient burial mounds has contributed to the theory that the aos sí were the pre-Celtic occupants of Ireland. The Book of Invasions, the Annals of the Four Masters, and the oral history, all point in this direction. The Christian influence on these documents is quite small, which allows for a great deal of history to be taken from their contexts.
Other views allow for these stories to be presented as a case of pure mythology, deriving from Greek cultural influence. The key arguments derive from a main source, Hesiod's Works and Days. In Works and Days, Hesiod portrays the basic moral foundation and plantation techniques for citizens of Greece. He also paints a picture of the races of men, created by the Greek deities.
The story of the Aes Sídhe has been spread consistently over Scotland and Ireland, with many tales referring to how the Norse invaders drove Scottish inhabitants underground to live in the hills. This is just one part of the legend, and contributes specifically to the Changeling myth in Western-European folklore.
The Banshee or bean sídhe, which simply means "woman of the sídhe", has come to specifically indicate the supernatural women of Ireland who announce an oncoming death by their wailing and keening. Her counterpart in Scottish mythology is the bean shìth (sometimes spelled bean-shìdh). Other varieties of aos sí and daoine sìth include the Scottish bean nighe - the washerwoman who is seen washing the bloody clothing or armour of the person who is doomed to die; the leanan sídhe - the "fairy lover"; the Cat Sìth - a fairy cat; and the Cu Sìth - fairy dog. The sluagh sídhe - "the fairy host" are sometimes depicted in Irish and Scottish lore as airborne spirits of an unpleasant nature, and perhaps the cursed, evil or restless dead.
In Scottish and Northern English[ folklore, a shellycoat is a type of bogeyman that haunts rivers and streams. The name comes from the coat of shells these creatures are said to wear, which rattle upon movement. Shellycoats are considered to be relatively harmless; they may mislead wanderers, particularly those they think are trespassing upon the creature's territory, but without malice. A common tactic of a shellycoat would be to cry out as if drowning and then laugh at the distracted victim.
Many places on the coast of Scotland have names that reference the shellycoat. Supposedly, shellycoats are particularly fond of the area around the river Hermitage, in Liddesdale.
As described above, the shellycoat shares many of the traits of the Brag, Kelpie and Nix.
|The Linton Worm is a mythical beast referred
to in a Scottish borders legend dating back to the 12th century. "Wyrm" is
the Old English for serpent. A 12th century writer believed it
to be "In length three Scots yards and bigger than an ordinary
man's leg - in form and callour to our common muir edders." The
myth is similar to that of the more famous Lambton Worm.
The monster lived in a hollow on the northeast side of Linton Hill, a spot still known as the "Worm's Den", in Roxburghshire on the Scottish borders. Emerging from its lair at dusk and dawn to ravage the countryside, eating crops, livestock and people, it proved invulnerable to the weapons ranged against it. The surrounding area became ruined by the beast's predations.
The news reached the ears of one (William or John) de Somerville The Laird of Lariston a man of reckless courage who was in the South at that time he came to the nearby village of Jedburgh and heard the lurid tales of the locals. Observing the beast himself he saw that the creature would open its mouth wide to swallow anything in its path but when faced with something too large to eat would remain still, with its mouth open. Sensing an opportunity he went to a local blacksmith and had him forge an iron covered spear with wheel at its tip which could impale a hunk of peat tipped in tar and brimstone. He practised riding with the burning spear to accustom his horse to the smoke.
He approached the worm's hideout with his servant at dawn. He knew that sitting on his horse he would prove too large for the creature to swallow. As if at a joust, he attacked it, plunging his burning lance into the monster's gaping mouth and down its throat, mortally wounding it.
The writhing death throes of the Linton Worm supposedly created
the curious topography of the hills of the region, an area that
came to be known as "wormington". The animal retreated
to its lair to die, its thrashing tail bringing down the mountain
around it and burying it forever. The legend states that his
heroism was memorialised with a carved stone at Linton Kirk.
He was made Royal Falconer, knighted and made "First Barrone" of
Linton. The crest of the Somervilles was a wyvern (heraldic dragon)
perched on a wheel
|Morag or Mòrag (Scottish Gaelic) is
a loch monster reported to live in Loch Morar, Scotland. After
Nessie, it is among the best known of Scotland's legendary monsters.The
name "Morag" is a pun on the name of the Loch,
and of the Scottish female name, "Morag". Sightings
date back to 1887, and include some 34 incidents as of 1981.
Sixteen of these involved multiple witnesses.In 1948 "a peculiar serpent-like creature about 20 ft long" was
reported by nine people in a boat, in the same place as the 1887
sighting.The best known encounter, in 1969, featured two men,
Duncan McDonnel and William Simpson, and their speedboat, with
they accidentally struck the creature, prompting it to hit back.
McDonnel retaliated with an oar, and Simpson opened fire with
his rifle, whereupon it sank slowly out of sight. They described
it as being brown, 25-30 feet long, and with rough skin. It had
three humps rising 18 inches (460 mm) above the loch's surface,
and a head a foot wide, held 18 inches (460 mm) out of the water.
A pair of photographs taken in 1977 by Miss M Lindsay show an object in the loch which is claimed to be Morag. The object appears to have moved several yards from one picture to the other. The first picture shows a round back, while the second picture seems to show two humps.
The Loch Ness Investigation Bureau expanded its search to include Loch Morar in February 1970.
Several expeditions with the aim to prove or find the monster have been made, but no evidence for an unknown, large creature has been found.
THE BIG GREY MAN OF BEN MacDHUI
|Am Fear Liath Mòr also known as The
Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui or simply The Greyman is the name
of a presence or creature which
is said to haunt the summit and passes of Ben Macdui, the highest
peak of the Cairngorms and the second highest peak in Britain.
It has been described as an extremely tall figure covered with
short hair, or as an unseen presence that causes uneasy feelings
in people who climb the mountain. Evidence of the existence of
this creature is limited to various sightings and a few photographs
of unusual footprints.
It was traditionally seen as a supernatural being, but Am Fear Liath Mòr has been compared to the Yeti of the Himalaya and the Sasquatch or Bigfoot of North America. References to wild 'Greymen' in Scotland and similar creatures elsewhere in Europe, sometimes called Wudewas or 'Wood Men', date back to the 13th century, and are believed by some to represent relict hominids.
In 1925, the noted climber John Norman Collie recounted a terrifying experience he had endured while alone near the summit of Ben MacDhui some 35 years before. "I began to think I heard something else than merely the noise of my own footsteps. For every few steps I took I heard a crunch, and then another crunch as if someone was walking after me but taking steps three or four times the length of my own." Collie was unable to make out the source of the noises because of mist, and continued "... [as] the eerie crunch, crunch, sounded behind me, I was seized with terror and took to my heels, staggering blindly among the boulders for four or five miles." Other climbers have also reported similar experiences, many describing uncontrollable feelings of fear and panic, some actually seeing a huge grey figure behind them, and others only hearing sounds or even succumbing to inexplicable feelings of terror while in the area.
In the Matt Lamy book 100 Strangest Unexplained Mysteries, Lamy notes a sighting in the early 1990s in which three men caught sight of a bipedal creature with an eerie, inhuman, face in a forest near Aberdeen. Several weeks later, whilst driving through the area at night, the creature appeared again and ran alongside their car even at speeds of 45 miles per hour, seemingly trying to enter the vehicle.
Similar panic responses have been reported in many North American
Sasquatch encounters, and explanations involving infrasound or
pheromones have been advanced. Cryptozoologist Karl Shuker has
expressed belief that the creature is the guardian of an inter-dimensional
portal in his 1997 book, The Unexplained. However, hallucinations
and panic brought on by isolation and exhaustion, or an optical
illusion similar to the Brocken spectre, are very plausible explanations
for the Big Grey Man legend. A Brocken spectre, or 'glory', can
occur in certain atmospheric conditions when the sun is at a
particular angle. The subject's shadow can be cast onto low lying
clouds around them, creating the illusion of a large shadowy
humanoid figure. This is the most commonly advanced theory to
explain the reported sightings.

I had a fun "conversation" via email with Sunshine here last night...talking about one of my little "escapades" back in the day...I was probably 20, maybe 21 years old. Here's the story:
My sister and a couple of friends of ours were in my Dad's car. I was dropping a friend off at his cousin's house. Anyway, we were driving and smoking a joint. My friend was taking his toke, and I saw a State Trooper getting ready to pull out of a store parking lot. I told my friend not to pass the joint, to keep it down. Dummy didn't listen, he proceeded to pass it up to me, just in time for the Trooper to see it. Yep, got pulled over. And, it was a woman cop.
A little background first....it was summer, Dad's car did NOT have a/c, so, all windows are down. And, I also had a lit cigarette. Ok, cop comes up to the car, sticks her face within inches of the window and says, "Smells like marijuana in this car." To which I shot back with, "Oh really? It does?" She looked at all of us, then asked me for my license and registration. (before coming to a complete stop, my friend had time to swallow what was left of the joint in case any of you are wondering). While the cop is busy running my info...my friend, in a shaky voice, says, "Stop being such a smart ass, you're gonna get us in more trouble". I told him to not be such a sissy. By this time, the cop came back, everything ran clear. She then asked where is the joint that was passed up to me...to which I showed her my cigarette. Oh yeah, I got a dirty look for that. She then asked if she could search the car, and I said, "Be my guest". Yeah, I was a bit cocky at that age.
Anyway, she never did search the car...she just told us we were free to go. As we were driving off, my friend was bitching at me that my smart mouth was going to get me in trouble one of these days. And I reminded him that my smart mouth just got us out of a world of trouble. I also told him next time I say to "keep it down" to LISTEN.
So...anyone got any fun stories to share from their "younger/wilder" days?

When I was about 17, I lived in Cheyenne and some friends and I decided we'd go cruise the strip. I had just gotten off being grounded for some other stupid shit I'd done and my parents reluctantly let me go with them to "cruise the strip". Well... we hopped in the car and drove to Denver!! And just as we pulled into Denver, we had a blowout...
I knew I was gonna be in trouble!! There were about 8 of us and we all have some kind of drink or drug with us. A state trooper pulled up to us and was giving us a hard time and we were scared to death he was going to search the car but thankfully he didn't. My friend Paula had family in Denver and we assured the trooper that we had somewhere to go. We ended up catching a ride with a trucker. He took us as close as he could to Paula's aunts house. I told my parents I'd be home at midnight but didn't make it home for 2 days. They were furious but never said much to me about it. I think they were just tired of my antics. It wasn't long afterwards that I moved out on my own.
Those were the days!!!
Mar 10 @ 10:38AM
That sounds like fun.
I used to sneak out of the house at night after my parents went to bed.
A couple of friends of mine would help me push the car I was driving down the road far enough away from the house so we could start it without my Dad hearing it. Then go out and party all night.
Ya know...going to class the next morning hung over really sucked.

"Smells like marijuana in this car."
I grew up in Cali, there were no remote woods or fields around, so all partying was in the car before somebody had a place, usually my 65 GTO. I was so damned ignorant!!! My mom didn't smoke and I came home one evening buzzed up and reeking with reefer. My mother immediately confronted me, "You've been smoking that shit again!" That should have been a clue to the clueless, yours truly. I replied, "No, man." Then my old man piped in, "Don't give me that crap. If you you weren't doing it, then why are you calling your mother 'man'?"
Mar 10 @ 11:11AM
My Mom did/still does, smoke, and my Dad quit smoking when I was really little. Also, Mom didn't have a clue as to what pot smelled like, but, Dad, working in the foundry, not only knew what it smelled like, he knew what it looked like. So, before heading home after smoking some, I'd use the visine and a light spray of perfume. Not too much..just a quick spritz. And then I would stay away from Dad for a while.
Mar 10 @ 11:31AM
Slipping you a well deserved green disk.
Another story, and this is the Readers' Digest version, involves partying while wearing an expensive fleece lined leather jacket. I over served myself on pink chablis and wound up passed out in the back seat of my infamous GTO. I pewked, and all of this pink vomit gravitated to my coat and the rest of me.
I went to a laundromat and washed my shirt and tee shirt. But I knew that my jacket was a job for the dry cleaners, so I took it in the next day. I got home before dawn. My mother asked me where my jacket was. I told her that I forgot it at some peoples'. The next day, the dry cleaners called saying that they could not get the stains out of my jacket.
Busted!!! Outside of going to work or school, that car went no where for a month. BTW, the expensive fleece lined leather jacket was never wearable again as it had permanent pink stains.

So many stories so little time...............but my favorite...........
I was driving to a craft show with a borrowed pickup and camper...........the craft sale was about 4 hours away but my sister was there and I was bringing our stuff down.........anyway............I was stopped because the cop has a "suspicion" I was carrying stolen goods. In the state of MN you do not have to turn over your drivers license you only have to present it to a cop. So i made him scrunch down to get the info off my drivers license and gave him the insurance card...he was an asshole and I had plenty of time to waste.................he came back and asked if he could search the vehicle.........I told him no ..........he said he could get a search warrent..........I told him to do that.........3 hrs later...............I was sitting there while 4 officers removed and searched all of my belongings....(craft items) the officers were bitching and moaning at him the whole time and his excuse was he had gotten a tip that there were stolen goods in a truck that looked like this. While I waited I called my attorney and told him what was going on ...........he got a good kick out of it as he called the judge who signed the warrent and demanded that the officers pack my truck back up after the search or I would be filing false imprisonment and harrassment against the cop, county and judge. Not having any evidence that i was a criminal she had signed a search warrant on a tip (that even the officer couldn't really confirm where he had gotten this tip...........so when the search was over the officers had to reload my truck..........and then they were really pissed at the officer who had stopped me.............apparently he loved to stop and harrass red heads................I wonder if he still had his job after that....
Mar 10 @ 2:00PM
The list is way too long
One that comes to mind is when I told my parents I was going to a cultural event in New York and stay with some friends who had moved up there. I went to a cultural event ok.....Woodstock. Well I didn't exactly lie

Ok. Another one of my "stunts"...Starting in my sophomore year in high school throughout my senior year, some friends and I had a "game" of sorts seeing how many times a week we could skip school, and not get caught. My record? I made it through sophomore year, junior year, and I almost made it through my senior year. My best friend and I were on the assistant principals "hit list" for those 3 years. I can safely say he didn't like us. I don't know why..
We would head out on lunch break, smoke a few joints, and then one of us always got the brilliant idea of not going back to class. We had a friend whose mother would call in for us. Then we would spend the rest of the day getting stoned and raising hell. Well, one time we skipped out, we went to a different friends house to party, he was a friend who had already dropped out of school. Anyway, we needed to have someone call in for us to say we weren't going back, one was not feeling well, the other, a family emergency. Ok, a little background on my best friend, (btw...we are still best friends today..more like sisters actually) My friend is Mexican. Her Dad was born and raised in Mexico, he moved to the States when he was 18, joined the military and became a U.S citizen. Her Mother, also Mexican, was born and raised in San Antonio. Why give this info? Because our friend offered to call in acting as her Dad. He butchered the accent horribly. When he hung up the phone and asked us how he did, my friend and I looked at each other and said, "we're busted". Yep, next day in class, a student walked in with a little blue paper, we all knew what that was...it came from the assistant principals office, and whose ever name is on that paper, is in trouble. So, yep, yours truly name was on that paper. I got down there to the office, and there sat my friend. We both knew we were caught..we were actually kidding around about how it took him almost 3 years to finally catch us.
We finally got called into the office, and there sat the assistant principal, (btw..all the students used to call him "Pin Head".) He looked so smug, especially when he told us we were suspended for 3 days. At which point, my friend got a huge grin and her face and exclaimed "GREAT!", she actually growled it out a little bit. Pin Head's expression went from smug to, well, you could tell he would have loved nothing more than to wipe that smirk off my friends face. He told us through clenched teeth to just get back to class.
Mar 16 @ 6:45PM
Oh yeah...forgot to mention. This happened on Friday. When I got home from school, my parents were vacuuming out the family van. I walked up to my Mom and told her I had gotten a 3 days suspension. She just said, "yeah, ok". I remember being surprised she didn't spazz out on me. It was Monday morning when I realized she had thought I was kidding.
I told her to call the school and ask. She did, and I was grounded for the rest of the school year.
Mar 16 @ 6:49PM
I think when I'm reincarnated I'm going to come back as a kid..
I had my share of misadventures this time around, but it seemed like I was working all the time..
I think I'll change that when I return

a car that fits your budget and lifestyle doesn't have to be a painstaking process
-- if you can learn how to navigate around the world of well rehearsed salesmen
dealers and too-good-to-be-true sales.
good news is you don't have to do it alone. With a growing number of online resources
geared to help you streamline the car-buying process, the Internet can do most
of the legwork for you, whether it's searching for pricing information, finding
dealers in your area or accessing user reviews.
Web has revolutionized the way people shop for cars," says Dennis Galbraith,
vice president of dealer products and operations at Cars.com. "It listens.
It understands. It match-makes people to the right car in an interactive way that
no other media can."
an interactive test drive The Web has also put the fun back into
shopping for a car. You may not be able to test drive it in the traditional sense
online, but with high-def videos and interactive vehicle tours popping up all
over the Web, you can get a pretty good feel for the car without actually experiencing
it first hand.
Sixty-eight percent of new-vehicle buyers and
59 percent of used-vehicle buyers do some research online before buying a vehicle,
according to Arianne Walker, research director with J.D. Power and Associates,
who says the automotive Internet's explosion of content will only continue.
a variety of Web sites With access to a growing number of third-party
auto review sites (e.g., Edmunds.com and Carspace.com), consumer-generated media
sites (e.g., autoblog.com, thetruthaboutcars.com, Feedster.com, and Technorati),
and auto dealer and manufacturer sites that have become more sophisticated and
user-friendly, you no longer have to walk into the dealership feeling uninformed
and unprepared to make a sound buying decision.
"The Web
has become a virtual showroom and the vehicle is often demonstrated better online,"
Galbraith says. "Some of these sites go as far as to cut the cars in half
so you can see the intricacies of the model." You won't see a car dismantled
in this way in a showroom, for instance. "There are real physical limitations
in how much you can demonstrate in person," he says.

Recent Developments in Colorectal Cancer Screening and Prevention - Article
ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in the United States. Studies published in the early 1990s, showing that screening for colorectal cancer can reduce colorectal cancer-related mortality, led many organizations to recommend screening in asymptomatic, average-risk adults older than 50 years. Since then, however, national screening rates remain low. Several important studies published over the past four years have refined our understanding of existing screening tools and explored novel means of screening and prevention. The most important new developments, which are reviewed in this article, include the following: Additional trial results support the effectiveness of fecal occult blood testing in reducing the incidence of, and mortality from, colorectal cancer. New studies document the sensitivity of fecal occult blood testing, sigmoidoscopy, and double-contrast barium enema compared with colonoscopy. Cost-effectiveness models show that screening by any of several methods is cost-effective compared to no screening. Randomized trials show that calcium is effective but fiber is not effective in preventing reoccurrence of adenomatous polyps. Preliminary data suggest that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may prevent adenomatous polyps and that DNA stool tests and virtual colonoscopy may show promise as screening tools. This new information provides further support for efforts to increase the use of colorectal cancer screening and prevention services in adults older than 50 years.
Colorectal Cancer: A Summary of the Evidence for Screening and Prevention - Article
ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer causes significant morbidity and mortality in the United States. The incidence of colorectal cancer can be reduced with increasing efforts directed at mass screening of average-risk adults 50 years and older. Currently, fecal occult blood test and flexible sigmoidoscopy have the highest levels of evidence to support their use for colorectal cancer screening. Colonoscopy does not have a proven colorectal cancer mortality benefit, but it does have the greatest single-test accuracy, and it is the final test in the pathway to evaluate and treat patients with other abnormal screening tests. Double-contrast barium enema has sparse data of effectiveness. Computed tomographic colonography, fecal DNA testing, and Pillcam Colon are promising tests that need further study before they can be recommended for widespread screening. Routine screening should continue until 75 years of age. There is good evidence that fiber and antioxidants are not effective for primary prevention of colorectal cancer; they should not be recommended for chemoprevention. There is good evidence that aspirin, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors are effective for decreasing the risk of colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps, but increased risks, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, limit their usefulness. There is fair evidence that obesity is associated with colorectal cancer. Additional studies are needed on decreased fat intake and red meat consumption, and the use of calcium, vitamin D, and statins before these can be recommended for primary prevention of colorectal cancer.
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy - Article
Screening for Colorectal Cancer: Recommendation and Rationale - U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy: Screening for Colorectal Cancer - Article
ABSTRACT: Flexible sigmoidoscopy is an important screening procedure because of its ability to detect early changes in the distal colon. The 60-cm flexible sigmoidoscope provides excellent visualization with minimal discomfort to patients. Successful sigmoidoscopy requires adequate patient preparation, proper equipment and an experienced examiner who can recognize both normal and abnormal findings. Complications arising from sigmoidoscopy are rare, but patients may experience some cramping, gas or watery stools. Screening and primary preventive measures, including regular exercise and increased dietary fiber intake, can lower the morbidity and mortality associated with colorectal cancer.

Colorectal Cancer: Risk Factors and Recommendations for Early Detection - Article
ABSTRACT: Spurred by mounting evidence that the detection and treatment of early-stage colorectal cancers and adenomatous polyps can reduce mortality, Medicare and some other payors recently authorized reimbursement for colorectal cancer screening in persons at average risk for this malignancy. A collaborative group of experts convened by the U.S. Agency for Health Care Policy and Research has recommended screening for average-risk persons over the age of 50 years using one of the following techniques: fecal occult blood testing each year, flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, fecal occult blood testing every year combined with flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, double-contrast barium enema every five to 10 years or colonoscopy every 10 years. Screening of persons with risk factors should begin at an earlier age, depending on the family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. These recommendations augment the colorectal cancer screening guidelines of the American Academy of Family physicians. Recent advances in genetic research have made it possible to identify persons at high risk for colorectal cancer because of an inherited predisposition to develop this malignancy. These patients require aggressive screening, usually by lower endoscopy performed at an early age. In some patients, genetic testing can guide screening and may be cost-effective.

Does it look like this Bjay???
Geoff - yuck!!
Good rhymes Becks and Caz!
Seems to be getting dark already! Where did the day go?
Well done all you poets.
Becks you must be relieved?
Tesco still due- I suppose the local school runs will have slowed them up between me & the store. I did try to go for a fairly sensible time with all the traffic around here....
Daughter now more awake & gone to Trafford Centre to meet a friend. Apparently she still wants a meal here tonight, but it's a quickie reheat as wasnt sure how much time I'd have after sorting out the delivery.
Despite the good forecast for tomorrow I think shall nip down to TC myself to do some more present shopping. Next week I could be blocked in by OH's car &/or workmans' van, so the garden can be done then.Then it's December the week after & shopping will be unbearable!
Goody, delivery arrived. Good dates on dairy things too & another £ off petrol too. mine, or OH, this time I think! Off to finish sorting. J.
Is that your dinner for tonight Geoff, Deep Fried Grub!
She stand in the classroom
Or at the white board
Teaching some teenagers
While counting her hoard
But we are still here
Peering through the school gate
Has any body seen
Our old mate Kate?
Aaw, she must be really bogged down trying to put that department right. What a way to start a new job.
I am on bacon pudding watch- that is tonights dinner-was told not to let it boil over-all ok to date
Aaw poor Kate - she's missing out on all the fun too. We may need you to organise another rescue mission soon Geoff.
Becks, Geoff
That dolls face is just what it looked like. AArgh!
This attempt much better, maybe because I feel better.
It has just gone 4 curtains drawn-so miserable
I like Chucky
At least we'll soon be able to put the Christmas lights up - that should cheer us up a bit .
I wonder if the lights will still work-haven't been out of the box for three years
Just lit fire - not cold - just wanted to be more cheery. What a horrible day
I've just eaten a Crunchie and am warming up a maple pecan pastry to have with a cup of tea - that's my way of being cheery on a day that never really got light. Weigh in day tomorrow - perhaps not wise choices :- /
Flo I have to report my weight every 3 weeks to a nurse- drug dose depends on it apparently. Must admit to weighing myself unclothed & before have consumed anything! Hospital clinics dont give you that chance.
I did finish off the yummy 'crusty' bread with lemon curd on it earlier.
Daughter back already! Doesnt want fried aubergine with the reheated cauli mac cheese, drat. Quick rumage in feezer & some ready made veg sausages will have to do! We have however got 4 (!!) large pots of the best ever youghurt to keep us going for...... oh at least a couple of days, I hope. Only seem to be able to get from my delivery store as not seen at t'other nor anywhere else yet. J.
Shortest day is one month away-21st December-then we are on the way back.
Hello all--still in fine form, I see. Just wanted to let you know I am lurking, trying to be inspired, but it's still 9am and the old brain isn't working well enough. That blow we were in for yesterday passed us by, but we are due another today. I am waiting for the mechanic to come and pick up my vehicle to give it a checkup---so will be a carless stay at home today.
Just done the eyes. Pleased to report much improvement
Oh Flo. tut tut tut. Still I have a large mincemeat and ginger tart waiting for me courtesy of Waitrose, a treat as i reached a target.
Your Monday quick meal always sounds really good to me Jo

The State of Missouri's Forests
program, begun in 1989, is designed to sample publicly owned trees in urban settings every 10 years. In 1999, we measured over 600 plots in 44 Missouri communities. Some changes in sample methodology make comparisons with 1989 data difficult (although the changes will give us a clearer picture next time, in 2009).
Still, the study has provided some clear results. In 1989, foresters found there were two empty planting spots, places where a tree would thrive, for every tree that was actually in the ground. By 1999, that ratio had gone down to one empty space for every tree already planted. In other words, our communities have done a great job planting trees over the last 10 years.
Most trees surveyed were of smaller size. It takes a long time to grow a big tree, and trees in urban settings often don't live long enough (often less than 15 years) to reach the largest size class. Unfortunately, the average quality of the trees surveyed has declined slightly over the 10-year period. Perhaps this reflects the fact that planting trees is popular, but maintaining them is less glamorous.
The most popular urban trees were silver maple, pin oak, green ash, sugar maple, Siberian elm and sweetgum. But these six most poplar species made up only 37 percent of the total in 1999, while in 1989 they made up 53 percent of the trees surveyed. We're seeing more diversity in our urban forests, and that is good both aesthetically and for the long term health of the resource. The more diverse our urban forests become, the more resistant they will be to diseases and pests.
Overall, the survey indicates that Missouri is home to 1.14 million urban street trees. Economists and foresters working with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) have even come up with a way to estimate how much those trees are worth to Missouri. The ISA formula factors in tree species, size and condition, as well as the location where the tree is planted and local prices.
- The survey suggests that the average urban street tree is now worth $1,167! That's up from $525 10 years ago - a great investment for the future.
- Forest crews use high-tech computer and low-tech tape measures to inventory trees in selected plots. Each year provides 20 percent of forest data for a repeating 5-year study
- Missouri's forest products drive industries that support thousands of workers. Thanks to careful management and stewardship, our forests are increasing in value and can support a continuing harvest. The most recent data shows that Missouri has 13.9 million acres of forests, nearly 32 percent of the state's total acreage.
- Our forests are growing at a rate of at least 267 million cubic feet per year, so the harvest of 140.5 million cubic feet is easily sustainable.
- Urban trees increase property values, clean the air and provide cooling shade. Urban foresters have determined that communities have increased their tree planting efforts in the last decade. Air pollution, root pollution and paving over soils stresses urban trees and likely contributes to their relatively short lifespan.

penguin 350 biowheel with aquaclear inserts?
Ok so basically my friend jsut got an aquaclear 50 powerfilter, i noticed they have large media inserts rather then these cheap a** pads u need to replace weekly or biweekly, and liked it. I also like my penguin biowheel 350. I noticed the media for his aquaclear 50 would almost perfectly fit into the penguin 350's baskets when the pads were taken out.. wondering what your oppinion on that idea is..
Thanks guys, i wont be on till this time tmrw but plz reply:P
IF they fit right away, or you have to trim them I don't see why not. Customize it and make it work for you and your tank. As long as it keeps the water clean and healthy go for it.
sounds good, thx
I actually do this in one of my 55 gallon filters. I keep the regular "pads" in one side, but I use the AquaClear sponge and BioMax in the other. I really like the BioMax because it helps keep water levels more stable.

Need for skilled workers fuels technical job fair
March 25, 2011
Story Highlights
- The event drew more than 1,160 job-seekers.
Related Links
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md. - Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger had words of encouragement for the job-seekers who attended the installation's fifth annual Technical Job Fair on March 16.
"We're here today to try to make sure that the companies that are doing business at Fort Meade and the National Security Agency are able to get quality employees," the Maryland congressman said. "And that's why you're here. They want you; you want them."
Ruppersberger participated in the job fair at Club Meade to discuss the growing demand for qualified employees in the Fort Meade area. As a result of the Base Realignment and Closure process, thousands of new jobs are projected within the I-95 corridor between Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Meade, Ruppersberger said.
"It was extremely important that Ruppersberger put emphasis on the unemployment situation," said event co-organizer Jerome Duncan, business resource representative and work force specialist for the State of Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation/Anne Arundel County One Stop Career Center at Fort Meade. "It was great for the event, for the job-seekers and the community that the congressman came out and addressed the crowd."
One new promising career field, said Ruppersberger, who serves on both the House Armed Services Committee and the House Select Committee on Intelligence, is cyber security.
"It's one of the most serious threats to our country, cyber attacks," he said. "So we need to get the best. We need to get people working for the companies who are working with our military and working with NSA."
The event, which drew more than 1,160 job-seekers, featured 84 employers including the NSA, the Defense Information Systems Agency, Northrop Grumman, Howard County Public Schools, the Internal Revenue Service and the University of Maryland University College.
Duncan said the employers sought qualified candidates for 1,200 open positions throughout the Washington-Baltimore metro area, the nation and overseas. Job opportunities ranged from network engineers, intelligence analysts, software developers, web designers and database engineers to human resource specialists, certified teachers, mathematicians, automotive mechanics and administrative assistants.
"I'm looking to get into the federal government," said Freda Riggins, a marketing manager seeking an administrative or executive position. "I came to get out to meet and talk with a lot of people. I want to get my resume in their hand and land an interview with a potential company."
Jodi O'Brien, a recruiter at GRSI, a government contracting company specializing in engineering and information technology, said the job fair is critical to the company's recruiting efforts.
"It's very important," she said. "We're a small minority-owned company -- we want to get our name out there. ... There are a lot of skilled people here. It's just a matter of finding the right match."
Susan Philips, human resource director at NMR consulting, said that although it can be difficult to find candidates with high-level security clearance, her company participates in Fort Meade job fairs because "we do find good and qualified candidates."
Philips said the company's return on its investment is worthwhile. "That's why we keep coming back," she said.
One important component of the job fair was the 14 service members who volunteered to count the number of participants, distribute job fair pamphlets and help with crowd control.
"We couldn't handle this event with just our staff," said Ursula Martin, an administrative assistant at the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, who helped organize the event. "The volunteers contribute significantly."
The Anne Arundel Workforce Development Corporation, Navy Fleet and Family Support Center, Army Community Service and the Army Career and Alumni Program also contributed to the event.
Jermaine Rather, an Odenton resident who works at a rental car company, said he was impressed with the job fair.
"It's pretty good," said Rather, who had his resume analyzed by career specialists at the event. "The resume review was really helpful. It wasn't a long wait on line like the previous job fair."
Patrick Beben, a Hanover resident who has been unemployed for a month, attended because he has been unsuccessful at applying for jobs online.
"If I run out of resumes here, that would be nice," said Beben, 24, who worked with a technology consulting firm for six months, but was let go because he did not have a current security clearance and the company had trouble acquiring business.
The former consultant said he hopes to land an analyst position in the intelligence field. "I don't really have the experience, just the degree," Beben said. "With all the experienced people, it's hard to compete."
Eric Simmons, an IT specialist in Washington, D.C., said he is fairly confident that his 20 years of experience make him a competitive candidate.
"I'm blessed that I have a job," said the Severn resident as he stood in line at the NSA booth. "I've always been told that the best time to look for a job is when you have one."
