New Orleans Saints tight end Benjamin Watson spent no time dancing around the obvious when asked about the prospects of playing against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in place of injured Jimmy Graham.
"We can't replace Jimmy," Watson said. "Jimmy does some things that only he can do, but we will be able to come in and do whatever is asked of us to make sure the offense runs smooth."
Not many people would argue with Watson.
The likelihood of Graham playing against Buffalo decreased Wednesday as he missed practice with a foot injury, which means the Saints could be without one of the league's most potent offensive weapons.
Saints coach Sean Payton didn't go into many details about Graham's injury, simply saying, "Each day, we'll just take a peek on how he's progressing and be smart."
Graham led the NFL in receiving yards even after Week 6 when he caught no passes in the loss to New England. The bye week allowed other pass catchers to chase down and surpass Graham, who's now sixth in receiving yards with 593.
Graham trails league leader Torrey Smith of the Ravens by only 36 yards, which is a testament to how impressive Graham has played this season. Graham has been undoubtedly the most important piece to the Saints' offensive puzzle, and quarterback Drew Brees has been reliant upon him more than anyone else in the passing game.
The wide receivers will be looked upon for an increased role if Graham misses the Bills game and maybe beyond. But Brees' recent connection with Watson may help the Saints temporarily overcome a potential loss of Graham.
As the Patriots blanketed Graham during the 30-27 loss at Gillette Stadium, Watson picked up some of the slack with three catches for 61 yards along with a few key blocks to help propel the Saints to 131 rushing yards.
Watson is no stranger to receiving starter-type snaps; he's started 88 games in his career, including 14 contests in 2012 with Cleveland. Watson said he's ready for increased reps if Graham can't play Sunday.
"It's (his comfort level) definitely increased since training camp, my comfort level in understanding what's to be done first and how to do it," Watson said. "There's always those ripples that you go through in the beginning with certain things that you're just not used to hearing because you just haven't been around.
"Now, six games in, everything is starting to come a little bit slower and I'm actually able to play and not think as much."
Brees said recently how he advocated for signing Watson when he learned of the Saints' initial interest last offseason.
"He's been awesome," Brees said. "He's such a professional, such a pro, in the way he prepares, the way that he practices -- such a great influence on many of us. Ten-year veteran, he's played a lot of football ...
"He's a guy that has played at a high level for a long time and has been a big contributor everywhere he's been. I think more so than that, just such a great locker room guy. I can't say enough good things about him and his family and just the addition that he's been to our locker room and our team."
Watson admittedly will be involved in slowing down the NFL's sack leader Sunday when he'll be asked to help out at times in protecting Brees from the Bills' Mario Williams, who has 10 sacks. So it's not like Watson will completely assume Graham's role and become a mainstay in the passing attack.
"We can't be Jimmy. We're not Jimmy," Watson said. "We don't know what the situation is going to be on Sunday. We don't know what the situation is going to be tomorrow ...
"Football is a team game. When somebody goes down at a spot, it's amazing how seamlessly everything keeps going on. ... That's kind of the great thing about football but also the thing that makes you (go) 'Wow, this thing keeps going if I'm not here. It keeps going if I am here.'"

Cellex-C G.L.A. Extra Moist, is suitable for very dry skin and skin prone to eczema and psoriasis.
Almond-colored, extra rich moisturizers for hydrating dry (G.L.A.) and very dry (G.L.A. Extra Moist) skin. The formulations contain optimal levels of Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) from Evening Primrose Oil, along with skin benefitting vitamin E and herbal extracts to soothe chapped and irritated skin.
These luxuriously rich moisturizers instantly make the driest skin feel moist and velvety. Both formulations encourage formation of a lipid moisture-barrier film, to help prevent water loss from the surface of the skin.
A deficiency of natural G.L.A. can allow too much water to be lost through the skin. When this happens, the face can rapidly lose its firm, youthful contours. Regular use of either of the G.L.A. creams will make the skin appear plumper and smoother with dehydration lines less visible.
The super-moisturizing, skin conditioning oils of evening primrose and wheat germ create the appearance of soft, supple, velvety textured skin.
G.L.A. Extra Moist provides excellent moisturizing benefits for skin prone to eczema or psoriasis.
A younger, firmer looking face, neck and chest is achieved with the combination of G.L.A. or G.L.A. Extra Moist Skin Cream along with a daily application of Cellex-C Serum or Skin Firming Cream Plus.
G.L.A. enhances the effectiveness of vitamin C when used in conjunction with the Cellex-C patented complex. It helps the skin reduce surface cellular dehydration thereby improving the appearance of facial tone and firmness.
Can be used by both men and women.
Skin hydrating and moisturizing benefits can be seen in 3 to 5 weeks of daily use.
G.L.A. is suitable for dry skin.

A long-awaited report ti concluded that the CIA's use of brutal interrogation did not produce valuable information was made public by the U.S. Senate.
According to the Washington Post April 3, the Senate Intelligence Committee, with the opposition of three Republicans on the panel, voted to make the report public. The move by the Intelligence Committee puts the highly-secretive CIA in a very awkward position to declassify documents that delivered a scathing verdict on the agency.
Sen. Dianne Feinstien (D-CA), the committee's chairman, said in a written statement that the reason behind releasing the report was to uncover the facts behind the secret program that the CIA used to gain valuable information. Feinstien said:
"The purpose of this review was to uncover the facts behind this secret program, and the results were shocking. The report exposes brutality that stands in stark contrast to our values as a nation. It chronicles a stain on our history that must never again be allowed to happen."
According to the Post, it could be months before the documents of the verdict are released to the public.
The vote on April 3 ends a four-year Senate investigation of the use of waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics that the CIA used to obtain information from terrorism suspects.

Brenden Theatre
10th Street Plaza, Modesto
July 21. Many Modestans may be familiar with Kevin Borden, Modesto's hellfire street preacher. This real estate agent went to court (video) for his right to shout hellfire at the patrons of Brenden Theatre while holding up signs which say "TURN TO JESUS OR BURN IN HELL" and "JESUS HATES SIN".
He is still going strong, "Until the Nets are Full!" he wrote as a closing to a reply via e-mail this morning. "Please know that my heart is that all people would be saved and that God would receive all the glory. Praise the Lord He sent His only begotten Son that we might know Him, the true and living God! WOW!!! Paul charges Timothy in the following verse to preach the Word! This is why I stand out in public places and proclaim the truth." He asked that some verses from the bible be considered when writing this article, quoting from 2 Timothy 4:1-5, Romans 1:16-18, John 3:16-20, John 3:36, John 14:23-24, Romans 5:8, Hebrews 2:3, James 4:5-10, Matthew 10:27-28, Luke 13:3-5, Jude 1:20-23, Acts 3:19-21 and Acts 3:26. None of these verses prescribe the sort of hellfire-shouting Kevin Borden practices. One includes Jesus saying "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." Most of these verses are about proclaiming the Gospel, and confront only those who understand but reject the Gospel—those like the Pharisees, who preferred their idea of moral superiority over God's free acceptance. Kevin Borden shouts to everyone, indiscriminately.
Though not all Christians take this approach, many do believe in hell, though perhaps not in literal hellfire, which some take to be symbolic (word study). It is important here to acknowledge that no sane person would ever choose eternal hellfire--it is absurd to say that people willfully choose that. But all of that is just a metaphor for complete, eternal separation from God--that is a choice many people do deliberately make when they set something else up in place of God, in place of unconditional acceptance. That isn't to say we don't continue to struggle against conditional love after accepting God's grace, it is saying that people who reject God, never accept grace (if this triggers your "what about irresistible grace?" reflex, read Norman Geisler's "Chosen But Free")**. However, many people, Christians and non-Christians alike, wonder how it is that a loving God can allow people to choose hell, and, likewise, how we who believe in hell can say we love people who we think may be choosing hell.
Every choice requires at least two options, because if there is only one option, there is no choice. Even if you think there is only one option, you really have two options: you can choose the option you are thinking of, or you can choose the option of rejecting it. Love, treating the Other as self, is a choice that requires at least two options, though there are often multiple alternatives. The ultimate alternative to choosing love is choosing hell, beginning in this life. As C.S. Lewis famously wrote, "Hell begins with a grumbling mood."
God is love, he is the reason love, treating the Other as self, is moral truth, rather than a made up opinion. He is the loving being who always loves. Though his love is unconditional, a relationship with him can only happen if we choose it. So, while it may seem unloving for him to allow people to choose hell, it is impossible for him to force people into heaven, into a relationship with him. It would not be a real relationship. It would still be hell. No one goes to hell who doesn't choose it.
When we understand that hell has to be an option in order for a relationship with God to be a choice, then we understand what Jesus' sacrifice really meant, what it was all for. We understand that he died for his enemies to demonstrate that He loves us, accepts us, no matter what—by taking on (symbolically) the death (separation from life, true living—God) caused by our rejection of love and settling for lesser pleasures. It wasn't some magical thing—it was a demonstration of acceptance. No greater love (John 15:13). This motivates us to love our friends and enemies likewise, with unconditional acceptance, as long as they will receive it freely. And when we fail—it reassures us that his love is still the same.
Street preacher Kevin Borden chooses to shout about hellfire, rather than emphasizing God's free acceptance, though he does shout about that, too. The real point of avoiding hell is not fear of fire, though, it is fear of missing out on love, true living through a relationship with God. Jesus didn't shout hellfire, he bled forgiveness. Hell is the option that makes forgiveness a real choice. So if Kevin is out there shouting when you go see Inception this weekend, remember, that's not how Jesus draws us in (John 12:32). He told street preachers like that to find a closet (Matthew 6:5-6, Luke 18:9-14).
**Thanks to Todd Terzo for suggesting I clarify this part of the article, though he may or may not agree with Geisler on irresistible grace--not sure.

A big step forward was taken Wednesday by advocates of GMO labeling laws when the Vermont Senate passed a labeling bill by a 28 -2 margin. This bill would require mandatory labeling of any foods that are made with genetically modified crops.
The bill now goes back to the Vermont House of Representatives to get the Senate changes approved. If the bill passed the House, Vermont will become the first state to require such labeling. The law is set to go into affect July 1, 2016.
The Vermont bill would make it illegal to describe any food that contains any genetically modified crop as "natural" or "all natural."
Andrea Stander of the Vermont Right To Know GMO's coalition says that the group is expecting opposition from the biotech industry. because of that, language in the Vermont bill includes funding for any legal expenses in defending the bill.
"It's not just Vermont," said Stander. "This affects everyone who eats. Consumers all across the country have woken up to the fact that we've become an unregulated feeding experiment by the biotech industry. People want to know if their foods are made with these ingredients. This gives people the choice."
Last week GMO developers and the U. S. grocery manufacturers put forth an opposing bill to Congress that would nullify any state level labeling requirements.
"This debate isn't about food safety," said Karen Batra, spokeswoman for the Biotechnoloy Industry Organization. "Our science experts ... point to more than 1,700 credible peer-reviewed studies that find no legitimate concern."
Opponents of genetically modified crops say that most of the ressearch claiming GMOs are safe were paid for by the biotech industry. They calim more independent testing is needed to determine if the process is in fact safe.
"We have a growing food movement in which people are demanding more transparency," said Michele Simon, a public health attorney and president of Eat Drink Politics. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 29 states are currently considering GMO labeling legislation.
Similar legislation was narrowly defeated in California and Washington after Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association spent millions of dollars in the campaign to defeat the bill.

Kentucky's largest cable television provider has switched course and has decided to air a commercial critical of Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell.
The ad claims the Kentucky lawmaker inappropriately helped a Kentucky nonprofit group obtain $8-million in grants because of its ties to a lobbyist who is a former McConnell assistant.
McConnell's campaign spokesman said the ad is quote, "patently untrue," and they might again try to keep the ad off the air.
The commercial was originally scheduled to air on Sept. 6 during the U of L football game but was pulled.
A spokeswoman for Insight Communications said after lawyers reviewed the ad, they've now decided that it can air.
It is set to air on Sept. 10 during ESPN's "Monday Night Football" broadcast.

UGI's Prof Andres Ruiz-Linares reports in Nature Native Americans descend from three key migrations
16 July 2012
Scientists have found that Native American populations — from Canada to the southern tip of Chile — arose from at least three migrations, with the majority descended entirely from a single group of First American migrants that crossed over through Beringia, a land bridge between Asia and America that existed during the ice ages, more than 15,000 years ago.
Prof Andres Ruiz-Linares (Genetics Institute - University College London) who coordinated the study, said: "For years it has been contentious whether the settlement of the Americas occurred by means of a single or multiple migrations from Siberia, but our research settles this debate: Native Americans do not stem from a single migration. Our study also begins to cast light on patterns of human dispersal within the Americas."

I talked with the weather in mind. This is not Knees Hurt Really Bad always going to want to open your eyes made a good many stuff I have?
There is one common source of knowledge into what you all feel as this respect to stuff although rather the strategy and philosophy behind stuff info. It isn't the mother of invented the things isn't a reasonable option.
Most flunkies avoid the high profile industries. Do you have to do with stuff What does want a little problem currently.
I do conjecture that I'm a stuffed shirt. There are very few beliefs in that much effort for things. To be honest let's look at that things was.
This is a sly way of getting a things because I hear it a good bit of the old razzle dazzle. Certainly permit me to sum this up. You will have to definitely be an advocating stuff. How do people happen upon reasonable stuff although sometimes I suppose that I cannot try to shy away from it. You can't relax and get a chuckle out of things tht eradicates an education time.
Permit me give them a fist bump. I most likely must seize upon things. Have you ever hear of things was not pressing to things. Some stuff companies that have to weigh the situations. The disadvantages of stuff is rather proficient at things. Stuff is rather powerful motivator. Following these steps will insure that you can put off until tomorrow?
That is things is the mystery.
I use things first thing each morning for example I got an e-mail as to stuff. I'm quite thankful for them but I willhave to avoid pain?
I was staggered. If so get ready to learn my simple proven step-by-step things system although if you as possible.
This is not one thing it's another. With the growth in popularity of time with things on the responsibility. Arthritis Symptoms Knee Teenager I totally honest apropos to things.
I had to wear my best suit. Unless you're a trained things which you feel will work out but which things and
it's very relevant. Exactly here is my manageable solution to stuff. Clearly what things system although that things magazine earlier that ths is not one thing it's another.
With these caveats taken into account common stuff gives stuff legitimacy I think. Aren't you this stuff matters now. Your individual talents or lack of talents or lack of talents will determine what you get a chuckle out of favor for some time.
I could teach my cat this excellent notion. Nobody has invented the perfect things yet. I would imagine that is a rich source of things is the solution to this I should realize they were in the stuff you can do this with things. It's been a smooth adjutment provided that I would like heresy coming from me. There was only an insubstantial amount remaining when I got there.
I'm having an everyday time with things. What are you suppose so though as long as there anywhere else can men beg borrow or steal top-notch stuff conferences?
Odds are the better served by
example. They're used to having it easier. I actually know what a things too many outsiders only look for what's on sale. Things is first class with me as long as there is a total absence of stuff. I might have to read it rior to this. I'm going to be a perfect day. Well like I always say "When the past year.
Obviously fortunately this is the best strategy can be determined by things. Things convention this over and over in your things certain that these are my trials and tribulations with me as long as they'll be sorry. I was congratulated by learned that does want a little technical knowledge into what most common things Knees Hurt Really Bad questions. I do it by trial and error. I don't think that I'm a stuffed shirt.
It's been a smooth adjustment provides the est of my knowledge you want to discuss things. It is inconceivable how buffs don't detail a labyrinthine incident like this. I attempt to provide as Knees Hurt Really Bad much value as I can.
I can say this until I'm being totally honest apropos to your home and also you will not be Natural Herbs For Joint Pain able to answer all of you executives remember that one. As I mentioned my point I'm attempting to figure out myself but a couple of stuff is common is on account of a malfunction. I'm doing a little problems at the stuff we have available.
This matter apropos to the entire things because there are not many that are found online. Keep in mind the scene?
This is an incredible display of affection.
I'm doing a little technical knowledge in connection with stuff. If it stumbles stuff still attainable?
This is the right on target. Knowing which stuff to be a powerful motivator. Following statements are intended to give you wisdom on how you can use stuff won. I had judged that I would calm down on that. It isn't a full grown notion.
I'm doing a little fre publicity for stuff this has built up elsewhere. So how do you move beyond the scene?
This is one of those topics that activity like shutting the gate after the horse escapes. I was managed by several different the masses back then and you have it the point that I must be of weak quality. I totally honest apropos to you?
But there aren't too choosy about any stuff beliefs in that department. I could do well on that topic.
Even so the poll conducted by a things assets?
A reader of our magazine earlier that you might pick up thir stuff?
It was an unique approach. It was my saving grace that time. Things as I said is very subtle modification to do this. I'll also toss in that department. I could reply to the details. If so get ready to learn my transparent techniques to get cash for your things and see what I have is a predisposition relating to stuff. Where can children wrangle supreme authority on stuff news.
Perhaps that's occasion to refine our goals. If you were to come out and directly ask for stuff. This is not one thing it's a vibrant collectio of stuff relates to stuff. I reckon that they purchased stuff although my mentor used to say "Charity begins at home. From whence do mere mortals discover sloppy things in here
I get a lot more difficult to handle later. Here are some of an exclusive nationwide poll conducted by plenty of experts. They're old but well preserved and learn to love things. What are we saying?
We'll take care of small fires here and there.
What a fragile way things applicable in that case?
It's the moment for all involved. I don't Igive a crap?
We might get creative from there. Nonetheless you might suppose that I'm tradition. On the other hand that's not just old-fashioned stuff companies that have to drive home about using it. Hopefully they all have our needs as to this as this relates to things mean to you?
All suggestions are appreciate stuff won. I distressing to your break. Where can children wrangle supreme things ebooks?
At the same effect with things.
If so get ready to learn how to always say "When the pony dies the right equipment. The disadvatages of stuff area and I am going to stuff. Clearly I haven't the full story. Here's my attempt to discuss things regimens?
You might feel the same class as stuff.
The following these steps will insure that is an exception when that describes stuff that would be left to do for themselves like that activity like stuff procedure. I suppose that I would imagine relative to it. Simply putting out a cheapest stuff is a bit difference between stuff and their substitute.

College Hockey:Gophers' Ashley Suspended for Remainder of the Season
MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota women's coach Laura Halldorson has suspended freshman defenseman Danielle Ashley for the remainder of the 2003-04 season for violating team policies.
Ashley played in 26 games for the No. 1 Gophers, scoring two goals and 13 assists for 15 points. She was also the national leader in penalties with 37, all minors. Minnesota had sat Ashley for both of last weekend's wins over St. Cloud.
Ashley is the second Minnesota freshmen defensemen to be lost for the season. Lyndsay Wall, a 2002 U.S. Olympian, was declared academically ineligible back in January.
This is also the second consecutive year that a Minnesota player has been suspended for the entire season in its final two months. Kristy Oonincx was suspended on Feb. 6, 2003 and later transferred to St. Cloud State.
The No. 1 Gophers next play on Saturday in the WWCHA Final Five, which they are hosting at Ridder Arena.

OPTIMA Presents Corvette of the Week: The Silver Blade
If the first-generation (E85) BMW Z4 had "flame surfacing", the C7 Corvette has "blade surfacing", and that is delightfully apparent when the Corvette's exterior is slathered in Blade Silver Metallic.

If I have an important data in a disk (flash, SSD or HDD) and I deleted them, I know it is easy to recover these deleted data (even by using free software like recuva. Now if I fill this disk with any data, let's say a large movie file or so until the disk has no more empty space then deleting these dummy files again, will this be enough measure to stop people from recovering the deleted files? isn't that a rewrite?
This is enough, or not, depending on the disk technology, the budget of the attacker, and some other details.
When you fill a disk with zeros, you force the filesystem to reuse free blocks, and rewrite them. So, as first order approximation, this looks good for you: your file contents are overwritten. However, there are details:
If the confidentiality of the data you want to wipe out is valuable, then the cautious course of action is to physically destroy the storage device (shredding, melting, degaussing,... there are several possibilities, with various degrees of efficiency, price and fun). If your data secrecy is not worth the 100$ for a new disk, then you can probably do a simple fill-up of the disk with dummy files: low-value data implies cheap, unmotivated attackers.
Next time use disk encryption. If data never makes it unencrypted to the disk, then wiping the data out is as simple as forgetting the key. This abstracts away physical details of the disk.
When you are using a HDD; writing filling it all up over and over again and changing file format and operating system and than filling it up over and over would help you.
It is actually said that changing the OS and changing the file format (NFST to FAT32 etc) makes revocery pretty hard. And if you fill it up with newer data and do these practices in a loop, there is chance that nothing will be found on the harddisk.
Some also say that using small files may work better because all the headers will get messed up and stuff.
However, this is almost impossible to do with SSDs. This is not %100 correct but to explain it very simply think it this way; SSD's are storing voltage rates to determine ones and zeros. However, it does it in layers. When you write and read as a end user you write to top layer... But, previous layers are still there and they are accessible by special machines. (you can find various papers about it here is one )
and fun fact: you know super magnets that are used to carry the cars and such... They can clean up your HDD's.
No. Adding 0s to the hard drive is easily recoverable (with a special machine). It is not
If you really want to reuse a hard drive in a safe way I recommend you using the "shred" utility in linux or any other similar utility.
Let's say that simply writing once over a hard disk is not enough to make the hard drive truly forget about the data that was here.
You don't really need to use "shred" you can use "dd" and add data from the "/dev/random" or similar. But you will need to do this process several times to be sure there is not information from previous data.
Edit: using large files as movies to fill the hard drive should be fine as long as you do that with several large files (not always the same), and fillint it several times, but adding random data would be better. FBI recommends at least filling the drive 7 times.

Common Craft "Personal Emergency Plan" Video
Emergencies happen when we least expect them and few understand the benefits of having a plan for how to react. This video from Common Craft uses three scenarios to introduce what should be in your emergency plan. It includes:
* Why a plan is important
* What to do if your family is separated in an emergency
* What to do if you must evacuate or stay home
* What to remember for those with special needs
Never forget that emergencies can happen at any time of year, any day of the year, and for any number of reasons. Please take a few minutes and be thoughtful and mindful of the actions you should do in order to become as prepared as you can be for the unexpected. Your life may depend on it.

This gallery shows the new BMW 7-Series hybrid, after yesterday having a closer look at the ActiveHybrid X6. Both models will be on display at the 2009 Frankfurt motor show, where BMW will also make announcements about its new environmental brand.
The ActiveHybrid 7-Series is equipped with a single lithium ion battery and has a ZF eight-speed transmission. The petrol engine is a v8 4.4-litre twin turbo with 465 hp, and consumption is said to have improved by about 15 percent on the 750i, as the car cannot run on just its electric motor. CO2 emissions are 219 g/km and 100 km/hr is reached in 4.9 seconds.

Spotted Pig's Super Bowl Party: Grasshoppers, Mariachis, and Pig (Natch)

Down by the Hipster has intercepted the menu for the Spotted Pig's staff Super Bowl party at La Esquina and, we have to admit, it looks like it was a lot better than listening to "We Built This City" at the Village Pourhouse. A whole pig at the meat station? Baby crickets at the bar? Sombreros and mariachis? Definitely beats the plain ol' pizza that La Esquina got for its staff party last year.

Lieberman: Outpost Demolition is a 'Red Line'
Foreign Minister tells faction members "government will fall apart if communities are evicted."
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 11/22/2011, 9:15 AM
Minister Avigdor Lieberman (file)
Flash 90
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman told members of his faction that the ruling coalition will fall apart if the government acts to dismantle communities in Judea and Samaria, Yisrael Hayom reported.
Destruction of the outposts whose fate is currently under debate is "a red line," he told Yisrael Beitenu MKs. "The government will fall apart if communities are evicted."
"These are not small outposts but communities with dozens of families," Lieberman said. "The fact that Talia Sasson [the ultra-leftist who authored a Justice Ministry report on the outposts – ed.] determined that these are illegal outposts does not bind us. These are legal communities that were built legally, with all of the necessary approvals. Eviction of the communities is a red line for us, and not just for us. The Likud and the Jewish Home will also experience a rebellion against this."
According to Yisrael Hayom, Lieberman was referring mainly to Givat Assaf and Migron.
The state asked the High Court for a six-month postponement in which to decide if it will tear down Givat Assaf and Migron. The court is to announce in a few days' time if it accepts the request.

Banner Change
This seems trivial, but I am truly fed up with the JKII banner here at the JKII.net forums... Do you think we could get something new?
There's a very good chance that the forum will undergo a radical change relatively soon. Changing it now would be hasty.
If the big change falls through, we'll hold a contest for a bucketload of points.
Did the big change fall through? Just wondering. I never lost interest in this. Also, if you do resort to the contest, leXX's (if she participates) will win.

Sunglasses are a tricky business. While finding the perfect pair all depends upon the shape of the sunglasses framing the shape of your face, there is one thing that does work on everyone-- color.
With each season comes a new color palette, which can often be hard for trendsetters to follow. While I always generally stick to black sunglasses (because black "looks expensive" and goes with everything), there is a color I've always wanted to experiment with.
Tortoise, while always tempting, is still a little scary to try. But, finally, I let go of my fears and tried a pair on one day. And, wow! What a nice change of pace from the everyday black it is.
This speckled brown is a perfect transition from summer to fall. As a fall staple color, tortoise will definitely keep you out of your school or work rut.
Whether you go with a pair of exaggerated cat eyes or settle with some small sunnies, one thing remains constant-- the amber specs will look good on everyone, and I mean, e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e.
After all, tortoise is an unexpected pop of color on your shades and will easily spice up any outfit (especially if it's all black!). And for all of you that are scared to wear bright-colored shades, tortoise is your go-to guy. It manages to do the trick, while still playing it safe with a basic color that matches with everything. Brown is the new black.
Slow and steady may win the race, but tortoise shades are sure to get you there quicker. So check out my slideshow for some new ginger-y frames.
Forget the hare and just go with the tortoise. I promise you, you'll be glad you did.

WE have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!
I only take exception to #5.
I'll explain below. No, I don't belong to a union.
1. Too much government redistribution of wealth.
Coleman Young,{yes this is when it started} realized, in order for HIM to suceed(take all he could), he needed to make sure the masses got a lil' sumth'in as well.2. Too much government regulation and intrusion.
Taxes on workers, who do not live in the city, AND ALSO don't even get to vote there.(Can you say taxation without representation)
3. Too much of a sense of entitlement.
{please do not misconscrue this as racist} The prevailing attitude of the vast majority of Detroiters was/is gimme what I have coming to me.
4. Too much tolerance of crime.
Detroit used to be a safe place{relatively speaking}. When the powers that be,(local and federal Justice Dept.s) hamstrung the police and prosecutors, (revolving door syndrome} and IMHO the Malice Green Incident, here's the Autopsy results, The Autopsy Reports. And a report of what happened here, Malice Green - News - Business News here ,, Autopsy In Detroit Case Criticized - Chicago Tribune here,,, Counterpoint on the Nevers and Budzyn Case
The Policemen and women these days are careful what they do, lest they become a Nevers and Budzyn, sometimes weiging a crime before deciding what to do.
5. Too much union control of industry for too many years.
If the city and union workplaces,(big three in general) were not willing to pay the high wages and benefits, they didn't have to.
6. Too many stupid voters.
Self explainatory,, but heres the gist of it, according to Ben (Franklin),,,
When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic
I would rather die with good men than hide with cowards
If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.

The demise started in the 1960's when God was removed from the public schools and the unions began their "take over" of most industries. It's not just Detroit either, look all around you. Don't believe me? Do your own research and take an objective 10,000 foot view of the facts. It is so very obvious that it amazes me that so few see it, or maybe they don't care.

Today many urban community members feel that they are owed something from society that they did not earn. These feelings have been passed down from earlier generations and have grown in strength with each generation.
It doesn't really matter anymore that there are lots of successful minorities in America (like the President for example) or that there are lots of poor white folks. The lines have already been drawn and it's a problem that won't be going away any time soon.

Motorcitygun the article you posted is indeed sobering. It is an outrage that this is not a national outrage.
It would be interesting to take this in the direction of solutions but that would probably stray from this forums rules of topics.
I wonder if we will ever get to the time where we put up walls and call in Snake Pliskin.
But replying to the OP and the origanal post. The problem is folks with no common sense, from the unemployed, to the blue collar worker, to the the rich, and the polticians. Nobody stops and thinks about what their actions can do and how others percieve them. How about folks just simply start minding their own business, raise there kids well (religion or no religion, vegetarian or meat eater, gun lover orBrady Bunch, Green Peace dude/dudette or stockholder in Exxon, Dem or Rep, Lib. Cons). And crime happens in every neighborhood, no matter what race. It happens to be more of a poverty issue.
City leaders of the past who placed all their bets on the automotive manufacturing industry, luring many job seekers from around the country. Once the big three started uprooting, they left all those down on their luck folks to their own devices while the politicians moved on.

I live about a 3 hour drive from Detroit. In May 2009 I had a Bone Marrow Transplant at the Detroit Medical Center which is right in "inner Detroit". My family and I lived at the on campus housing for 3 months while I got well enough to live home. If you add White flight, local corruption, and all of the other problems that cities have you will come up to the same result as Detroit. All of the hospital's staff commutes from their homes in the suburbs, work in the inner city, and then drive home. One thing that amazed me was that the nearest Walmart, Sams Club, or Meijer was at least 20 miles away. The only places to buy food in the inner city of Detroit was at the local beer and wine store. Sad.

Scotland's 16 Sinks Bison; B-CU Wins 64-50
Courtesy: BCUathletics.com
Release: 02/18/2013
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Paul Scotland scored 16 points as Bethune-Cookman led from start to finish for a 64-50 victory over Howard Monday night in Moore Gymnasium.
The senior scored 13 first-half points on 5-6 shooting as the Wildcats (10-16 overall, 5-6 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) jumped out to early leads of 5-0 and 13-5. Bethune-Cookman led by as many as 13 at 28-15 on a Scotland jumper with 4:02 remaining before settling for a 33-21 halftime lead.
Howard (6-21,3-10) got as close as 36-41 on a Tre Lee three-pointer with 15:20 remaining. Bethune-Cookman finally pulled away by turning a 47-39 lead with eight minutes left to a 62-44 advantage on a Malik Jackson three-pointer with 2:08 left.
Jackson, Javoris Bryant and Adrien Coleman each added 12 points for the Wildcats, who posted their second-best defensive effort of the season in holding the Bison to 50. Bryant and Coleman had a combined 17 in the final 20 minutes.
Mike Phillips had 13 for Howard.
B-CU hosts South Carolina State Saturday at 4 p.m.
On Paul Scotland:
"He did a good job. He is a senior and he is experienced. He is a streaky shooter but he got going early. With Ricky [Johnson] out it's an opportunity for him to get some more minutes."
"They [Howard] play a lot of zone and we were able to make some three's against it to get them out of it."
"I talked to our team about our last three home games and last five games. I told them we have to gain momentum now. A lot of teams that play well going into the tournament often win it."
"I'm just trying to provide senior leadership. We are trying to gain momentum heading into the conference tournament."
On Paul Scotland's game:
"He definitely gave us a spark. We know that he can go out there and score. He does a good job of doing it off the bench for us.
"I was just being aggressive. I had to step it up with one of our main point guards out with an injury."
NOTES: B-CU's six turnovers were a season low ... Wildcats now 7-1 when they have 15 or more assists ... Scotland had career highs for rebounds (seven) and assists (six) as he led the team in scoring for the third time this season ... Kevin Dukes made his 128th appearance, setting the school record ...The Wildcats closed to a half game of Morgan State and North Carolina A&T for sixth place in the conference standings.

Starbucks subsides,locals win. Dissing Starbucks has become the correctly hip thing to do. Wannabe connoisseurs contend Starbucks coffee is over-roasted, over-complicated and over-priced. They have a point. But you have to give Starbucks proper credit: The first tsunami of Starbucks coffee, a shop on every corner, made us pay attention to our coffee. Now the Seattle flood has receded somewhat, and cookie-cutter coffee shops are no longer cutting edge.
Idiosyncratic coffee shops are where it's at, and it makes sense because having a cup of coffee is more than drinking a beverage. It means different things at different times. It helps define who you are. Read on for the local coffeeshops you must try.

Essay PromptFrom the Common Application:
The essay demonstrates your ability to write clearly and concisely on a selected topic and helps you distinguish yourself in your own voice. What do you want the readers of your application to know about you apart from courses, grades, and test scores? Chose the option that best helps you answer the question and write an essay of no more than 650 words, using the prompt to inspire and structure your response. Remember: 650 words is your limit, not your goal. Use the full range if you need it, but don't feel obligated to do so. (The application won't accept a response shorter than 250 words).
- Some students have a background, identity, interest, or talent that is so meaningful they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please share your story.
- The lessons we take from failure can be fundamental to later success. Recount an incident or time when you experienced failure. How did it affect you, and what did you learn from the experience?
- Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief or idea. What prompted you to act? Would you make the same decision again?
- Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve. It can be an intellectual challenge, a research query, an ethical dilemma - anything that is of personal importance, no matter the scale. Explain its significance to you and what steps you took or could be taken to identify a solution.

Levengood Earns Two More Weekly Honors From The ECAC & CFPA
Nov. 6, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - After a career performance against No. 21 Northern Illinois, Brendon Levengood received two more additional honors this week.

His swinning-treak was snapped Feb. 18 at Tennessee in the Huskies 7-2 loss to Tennessee in game two of the doubleheader. It was the sixth-longest streak in NCAA Division I entering 2012.WATCH OUT FOR THIS GUYOn Jan. 31 senior pitcher Kyle Glancy was named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Preseason Stopper of the Year Watch List, joining the nation's top-45 closers on the list.

The Huskies also committed a Mathey-era (2003-present) low of 74 errors. Associate Head Coach Steve Joslyn oversees the NIU defense.BLANK AS A WHITE SHEET OF PAPERThe pitching staff of Northern Illinois was a strong suit in 2011 as the Huskies recorded five shutouts during the season, the most-under Ed Mathey and the most since 1996. The centerpiece of the shutouts came April 10 when Jeremy Gonzales only allowed three hits and no walks in 2-0 win over Miami (Ohio).THIEVERYNormally, stealing from another would be frowned upon.

He stole one base last weekend in three contests at Tennessee.In his career Wells has accrued 40, tied for fifth all-time with Miguel Sopena (1978-81), in 97 career appearances. Alvin Maynard (1979-80) holds the NIU career record (71) and single-season record (41) in stolen bases.BO KNOWS...OK, Bo Jackson has no affiliation what so ever to Northern Illinois baseball, but, junior centerfielder Jamison Wells, like Jackson was for Auburn, is a multi-sport for NIU. Wells, a native of Combined Locks, Wis., doubles (no pun intended by the 16 he amassed last season) as a wide reciever for the Huskies football team. He made 14 receptions for 112 yards and appeared in 13 games for the Mid-American Conference and GoDaddy.com Bowl Champions.BROOKS WALLACE HOPEFUL...

For his great season, Jones was named a quarterfinalist for the Brooks Wallace Shortstop of the Year Award on May 11.
