I bought myself a new webcam from Best Buy yesterday. It's a 1080 HD webcam that can take pictures and has two built-in mics for voice chatting. I plan to use this to chat with someone special on Skype, who also uses a webcam, but if any of you also have Skype and a webcam and are interested in chatting with me, feel free to add me, but be sure to let me know who you are when giving a contact request, because I've had contact requests from spambots in the past.
Ever since I've watched XY060, I've constantly kept seeing that "gruesome" scene regarding Serena's hair, and it's been haunting my memories to this day. I tried thinking about Smash (particularly attack animations and voice clips of Bowser, Bowser Jr., Little Mac, and Shulk) to get out of my system, but it somehow keeps coming back. That episode has been affecting my concentration at college, losing my focus. My heart was recently aching a bit after I woke up, which could symbolize...
I'm dealing with a difficult choice that would affect my time at my new university. There's another math class I'm suppose to take, called MATH 413, in order to complete my major, but it's only available every odd year during Spring semester. My adviser never told me about this class, only recently by my Advanced Calculus professor, nor was it listed with the other math classes during my registration two weeks ago. Now I have to crash that class by Tuesday afternoon in order to add it to my schedule....
If you're a theme park enthusiast, then you'll probably know that Selfie Sticks are becoming all the rage these days, to the point they're being wrongfully used by people during rides and shows. Not only do they bring a nuisance to other guests trying to have a wonderful time, they also bring a huge risk factor to both other guests and the owner using it. It's becoming a major concern for fellow ethusiasts, so they're preaching for these parks to ban these items for the safety of these tourists....
I seem to be having some bad luck when trying to buy Majora's Mask-related limited editions. When it was announced that Majora's Mask 3D was getting a limited edition Skull Kid figure, I had to Gamespot the day after to order it, only until I was informed that they were out of stock. Then when it was announced that the New 3DS is getting a Majora's Mask theme, I head towards Gamestop at the time it opened and tried to order it. The employee was having trouble getting my order on the computer...
I can easily see...

One thought on "Hammer and Tongs Vintage Motocross round 1 – Day 1 race 3"
I was at this race and remember hearing the stragest bike and it was this one. I love old hondas I was the guy who put the cb100 engine in the 79 YZ400 frame. I have got to tell you that your bike is one of the most beautiful unique bikes I have ever seen. I think I may be doing something similar to this for this next season. Great job man

Spyware -- Question No. 5
Spyware -- Question No. 5
This Article Covers
According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, what percentage of all computers is infected with spyware?
a. 80%
b. 76%
c. 57%
d. 43%
The firm's findings -- unveiled Tuesday in its first quarterly State of Spyware Report -- are similar to other studies in recent months. The National Cyber Security Alliance has found that 80% of all computers are infected, for example. Atlanta-based ISP Earthlink has said an estimated 90% of PCs are infected, and Dell Inc. has said spyware accounts for 12% of all PC help desk calls. ( Read the rest of this article.)

The propellant combinations WFNA/ JP-4 and later IRFNA/JP-4 were the first storable systems given serious consideration in the United States. Problems which caused the abandoning of these propellants were the absence of reliable hypergolic ignition and unstable combustion. IRFNA/UDMH and IRFNA/JP-X finally did prove satisfactory.
The composition of propellant-grade nitric acids is covered by Military Specification MIL-N-7254. The nitric acids are fuming liquids which vary from colorless to brown, depending on the amount of dissolved N2O4. The vapours from these acids have a characteristic pungent odour. They are highly corrosive, toxic, oxidising agents and attack most metals. They react with most organic materials violently enough to cause fire. The acids are soluble in water in all proportions, with an accompanying evolution of heat. They cannot be made to explode. Approximately 90 per cent of the nitric acid is made by the catalytic oxidation of ammonia with air or oxygen to yield nitric oxide (NO). The latter is oxidised to N2O4 which, when treated with water, yields nitric acid (HNO3) and may be concentrated by distillation with sulphuric acid. Red fuming nitric acids may be produced by passing gaseous N2O4 into nitric acid, a slight modification of the above process. Production of nitric acid was estimated at 3 million tonnes in 1959. The price of RFNA was $ 0.20 per kg in drum lots; IRFNA was slightly higher. The varieties of nitric acid propellants include:
Hydrazine marketed for rocket propellant contains a minimum of 97 per cent N2H4, the other constituent being primarily water. Hydrazine is a clear, water-white, hygroscopic liquid. The solid is white. Hydrazine a toxic, flammable caustic liquid and a strong reducing agent. Its odour is similar that of ammonia, though less strong. It is slightly soluble in ammonia and methyl-amine. It is soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, UDMH, and ethylenediamine. Hydrazine is manufactured by the Raschig process, which involves the oxidation of ammonia to chloramine, either indirectly with aqueous sodium hypochlorite or directly with chlorine, and subsequent reaction of chloramine with excess ammonia. Raw materials include caustic, ammonia, and chlorine; these are high-tonnage, heavy chemicals. The cost of anhydrous hydrazine in drum quantities in 1959 was $ 7.00 per kg. The projected price, based on large-scale commercial production, was expected to be $ 1.00 per kg. Due to environmental regulations, by 1990 NASA was paying $ 17.00 per kg.

The Gazette
WESTFIELD TWP. — There were friendly pickup matches with his brother Ethan, but Jacob Dunbar never got a chance to play high school tennis with his older sibling.
With a four-year difference between the Cloverleaf junior and Ethan, a redshirt sophomore at the University of Richmond, the two never got to team up at doubles or fill the first and second singles spots in the Colts lineup.
Dunbar will get that chance soon at the next level after announcing Friday that he will be graduating early from Cloverleaf and join his brother on the Spiders in the fall.
"It was definitely a difficult decision," the two-time Gazette MVP said of leaving school a year early. "But academically I'm ready and practicing in this area is a struggle at times with the weather and having playing partners."
The nationally-ranked player, who has made two-straight trips to the state tournament and already holds a host of county and school records, will graduate in June after reaching the required number of credits needed to graduate from Cloverleaf and meeting all the other guidelines issued by the NCAA Clearing House.
The news caught Colts coach Mike McGee a bit off-guard.
"It was kind of surprising, because we thought he would be here all four years," McGee said. "When you think about it though, he's been wanting to go to Richmond and be with his brother. It's a good opportunity. He likes the school, likes the coach and knows the guys on the team.
"We're very pleased for him. He's a great student-athlete and I know how hard he works."
Richmond was the only school on Dunbar's radar after the 17-year-old watched Ethan — a multiple-time Gazette MVP — earn All-Atlantic 10 accolades this past season.
"It means a lot," Jacob said of joining his brother. "I didn't spend a lot of time looking at schools. It was an easy decision, because Richmond is a great school.
"Having my brother there was a huge reason. He's my best friend. He comes home from school and tells me about (Richmond) all the time, so it was good advertisement."
The 6-foot, 160-pound Dunbar is coming off a 32-2 season — a mark that included a 31-match win streak — a record that is second to his brother's all-time county mark of 35-2 set in 2010. In his first two prep seasons, he surpassed Ethan's combined victory total of 61 for a freshman and sophomore year. The run includes two Suburban League titles, a pair of sectional championships and three singles wins at state, which matches the all-time county mark.
Dunbar also was the first local singles player to advance to state as a freshman and sophomore and was a recipient of the John Harlow Sportsmanship Award.
"It would be nice to have him for one more year," McGee said. "We'll just have to make the most of this year."

It is a cold night in Seatle at Husky Soccer Field. The match is about to begin in front of a national television audience.
The Cougars will start the following 11 student-athletes.
#1-Gurveen Clair
#4-Rachael Doyle
#12-Ali Fenter
#14-Beau Bremer
#22-Delaney Zalud
#7-Jacquelyn Roth
#10-Eileen Maes
#21-Nicole Setterlund
#2-Brandi Vega
#19-Tiara Pittman
#20-Jocelyn Jeffers

The laidback municipality of Santa Ana in the province of Cagayan is located approximately 642 kilometers from Metro Manila. This is indicated by a lonely kilometer marker which is propped right across the Santa Ana fish port. You may also likely miss this spot though, but the 12-hour bus trip to Santa Ana is already an indication by itself that you are traveling to a very remote destination in the Philippines.
But despite the long bus travel, it is fast becoming a tourist destination in the country. There are many adventures that can be had, beyond its vast rice fields. For one, it is dubbed as the "Game Fishing Mecca of the Philippines" due to its proximity to major bodies of water. Local and foreign aficionados of the sport gather at Santa Ana for the various competitions that are held there every year.
However, my friends and I traveled to Santa Ana last month not for the swordfishes, trevallys (talakitok) and mahi-mahis (dorado), but for a different kind of marine creature - the humpback whales of the Babuyan Strait. We had high hopes back then that we could witness the gentle giants at Camiguin even if their sighthings at that time of the year is not guaranteed. Santa Ana was then our jump-off to one exhilarating weekend that also had its share of memorable surprises.
|It is said that the national highway ends at Anguib Cove in Santa Ana. After that is just this view of the ocean.
Aside from that, we also included in our itinerary the breathtaking Palaui island and several destinations that dot the Santa Ana coast. These spectacular seascapes are the result of the creative orchestration between the incessant pounding of the Pacific waves and the howling monsoon winds.

Indeed, the long journey to Santa Ana is rewarded by experiencing its immaculate white sand beaches, secluded coves and pristine islands. It is no wonder then why more and more water sports aficionados, weekend backpackers and tourists have headed this way already.
And if you'll have the opportunity to be in any of these groups very soon, don't forget to take a quick photo of the km 642 marker. It hardly qualifies as a Facebook profile picture but it is a unique reminder that after a long bus ride, you've finally made it to the northeastern corner of the Philippines.
You could also reduce the travel time to Santa Ana to just under 3 hours. For now, the nearest domestic airport is at Tuguegarao City. Cebu Pacific and Airphil Express offer daily flights to Tuguegarao from Manila.

Baby Gender Testing
Throughout time, there have been moms and dads wishing they could have a real baby gender test that would predict the gender of their child.
However, predicting the gender of your baby was off limits before more modern forms of scientific discovery.
Introducing – Plan My Baby
Alicia Pennington from Plan My Baby, with ten years of experience as a midwife, claims to have found the way for you to predict the gender of your baby.
Plan My Baby is an e-book outlining all natural ways to select the gender of your own baby in the privacy of your home with no drugs and no surgery.
Alicia says: "Due to effective natural methods…you too can plan your baby's gender and enjoy a lifetime of completeness."
Her journey began when she started to investigate all natural methods for selecting the gender of a baby. She was working with a mother who was suffering with a severe case of post-natal depression after giving birth to a beautiful baby girl.
"She felt incomplete without a son even though she loved her three daughters dearly." Alicia remembers.
Click Here To Learn More About Selecting the Gender of Your Baby
What if You Could Choose the Gender of Your Baby?
Alicia thought, so what if you could choose the gender of your baby? Wouldn't that increase the joy and solve this problem? She immediately began perfecting natural baby gender selection methods.
Her research began with research into existing gender selection methods like Pick the Gender of Your Baby. She also began attending courses on preconception, and speaking with couples who had tested the methods with success.
All of this research happened with Alicia and her own husband beginning a family. She started to put her own research into practice, and came up with some really promising results.
She didn't want to go through laboratory treatments because of the cost and wear on her body.
She was determined to apply natural methods to her research.
She was simply elated when her new daughter Marie arrived nine months later!
With Alicia's proven methods, you will have nothing to lose because they are all natural, effective, safe, and without risk.
Out of her first year of research, 112 out of 117 couples conceived the baby gender of their choice.
"Here is a real chance to create the family of your dreams," exclaims Alicia.
You will find all of her comprehensive research and instructions in an easy to read e-book. It is written with the reader in mind, and very simple to understand the techniques.
Click Here to Find Out More About Baby Gender Selection
Here are Alicia's three basic steps for people researching baby gender selection:
Step 1: Look at your ph levels during ovulation. "If your ph is alkaline you are much more likely to have a boy. If your ph levels are acidic, chances are it will be a girl" claims Alicia.
Step 2: You should be examining your diet and adjusting it to the ideal environment for sperm x or sperm y.
Step 3: Read the guide to discover particular sexual positions that can aid in conceiving a boy or a girl.
You will find many happy customers on Alicia's website.

A Sunday Vertical Drop of Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium
- asiablues's blog
- Printer-friendly version
- May 1, 2011 8:43 PM
- 54
Ask yourself one question
If it goes to 30 bucks or lower what will I do?
Sell the fall, buy the dip, buy the value trap to 30 or lower? Or simply hold long
You fucktard pump and dump trolls will be yapping about 55 bucks or some stupid fucking thing.
But those of you who are serious about your physical precious be clear with yourself.
Like 2004,2006,2008 your convictions about 100 dollar silver are about to be tested, IMHO. Your reversal is in, now what do you do?
You would be wise not to be leveraged here. Cause if you are Blythe will be calling
Stella concepts called this market (silver) beautifully - he thinks maybe$27 to $33 dollars to reenter .... maybe.
I think Gold is a different beast now however
Was out mowing the lawn, and came back to that sudden drop. Needless to say I about shit my pants but I was able to lock a order in online @ $44 dollar spot. I figure it's a good as time as any to start adding some more physical to the collection.
But not gold. Ratio is going to be restored. Money just goes to gold from silver.
SIlver behaving as my charts ( and many people ) predicted. How about a flash crash from 48 to 42,3 this ? Not very stable growth visible. Now its about 44, 85, back to where it was before Bernankes USD devaluation speech. For it to crash to 30 in 1 month it only need to go lower 0,6 USD/day. No more crashed needed.
I guess killing of OBL somehow has improved USD position, temporarily.
I also think it is time that action is taken against those who have been manipulating this market.
And against the so called Overseers like the CFTC who have refused to put position limits and who have been permitting the banksters to get away with their manipulations.
A dirtier lot and those in cahoots need to be put behind bars
See the forest and the trees, little asiablue, for otherwise you miss the part and the whole. 'But they are one and the same?', you ask. Two sides of the same coin, yes, but the coin is nothing without you.
Volatility is about to up end the dollar, and with it, Keynsians all. Goodnight little asiablue. I wish you dreams of each forest and every tree.
What would happen to your thesis if we had a .90 dollar?
Next week people will be saying "Bin Laden who?"
Very intriguing
When the blast comes out of Obama's birth certificate release and its fall out, we have Osama's death being announced.
And then silver is hammered down.
But Gold is firm.
Stock Markets are up.
The Euro zone and countries are still in big trouble or rather getting worse.
The US Dollar about to be dumped by the world gets another revival.
The games people play!
Which means possible this is a last ditch effort by the banksters to cover their shorts
Obama's birth certificate release is followed closely by Osama's death. Things that make you go hmmm...
$80,000,000,000.00 per annum to find a handful of terrorists (most died on 9/11 afterall) and they've got one after 10 years ...the most expensive bounty hunt in history (i'm worried about US Govt productivity, aren't you!) ....and another $20m on top for the informent
...any chance the US Govt could just put up a few multi-million Dollar 'Wanted' posters (ie. say $6-$9m) rather than pissing away $80,000,000,000.00 per annum on the most lathargic, expensive and inept witch hunt in history in the future???
Margin Hikes and the announcement of Osama being headshot might have people wanting back into the stock market. After all, maybe the US wont be shooting as many guided missles with a reported X amount of silver used to make each of them.
I am hoping to catch silver under $40. I am very bullish on silver but would like to catch it a little lower.
Osama Bin Ladin is Dead (no, eally, check the news). Someone knew early and sold... This is the only plausible explanation
BS ....if you can find a single Silver investor that's sold because of Bin Hidings topping i'll eat the whole transcript of Bernanks worthless press conference last week!
so why the hell don't they jack up the margin requirements for crude?!?! Hell make it a 100% cash contract!
Oil doesn't compete with Uncle Bens currency as gold and silver does.
Yes Oil and can go to $140/$200 from $38 because the banksters are behind it and rhe CFTC is their baby.
They wont kill their golden goose.
Paper silver is an investors game that rewards in floating fiat. The overleveraged silver market will pay its investors back in unfilled deliveries, watered-down currency, or possibly in total losses.
REAL Silver looks purty.
It may bring riches someday, or maybe not.
Who cares? Miners work harder than printers.
Fabulous opportunity to buy silver and gold. A necessary correction to kill off the weak hands, destory the froth. Tomorrow I'm stepping it up. And yes, it's an opportunity to kill paper PM's. More buying = less physical supply. Just great.
People need to understand at the deepest level that the specific dollar
price is important only to the extent that it influences one's to buy PMs to preserve our savings. It's the ounces we own that counts. Period.
I emailed my brief in this morning about this event.. Guess you didn't read it again. You want the link? This is what I sent in.
Hey folks,
Just wanted to do a preemtive May PM update, I usually wait for a week in but there is too much news in the financial sector that will go into play by Monday.
Well, we have had one hell of a ride since last month, PM sectors Bulling off as if in Pamplona Spain with the bankers out front!
Our USD is on the skids with no future of pulling out of a nose dive anywhere in the near future, That event that happened in Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia usually will help the USD (sic) but in this case, the Federal Govt. will step in and buy all damaged property from the survived home owners, another land grab if you ask me. They are all in our prayers and hope for their better future.
As of close on Friday, we are sitting on .73 14 with a new low of .72 83 to reverse the buck back to "08" territory.
Look for that pull back in the PM's like I mentioned last week, the CME (Jon Corzine) raised PM Margins, more notably Silver futures 2 times last week and thats un heard of till now. This was done to artificially induce a "short" because Silver and Gold are going Parabolic in a natural function, they want to try to tamp down the action and get spot under control before anyone notices whats going to happen to the USD this week IMHO. PM's are a leading indicator of USD strength, or in this case, lack there of. The last time they raised oil margins on March 10th to drive away speculators, it lowered the price for a few days then sent the prices north of $108.00 a barrel to top out at $114.00 a couple weeks later = futility.
By raising margins, it really doesen't serve them well in the long game, by week 2, investors and other Big purchacers like Countries will jump all over that dip sending PM's past record spots... again, before the end of the month, there actions are futile and their caught up in a catch 22 because of real demand, not speculation = China, India purchacing Tonns off the market..
It's just a temporary "fix" to help Metal houses.. or should I say paper houses? like COMEX and the JP Morgue to ease there April delivery pressure in my opinion, to drop the spot from an unreasonable spiked $49.+ an ounce on Silver, and another record breaking $1569.00 on Gold!
They are now doing acquisitions from other Metal Houses around the world (Scotia) and the open market using customer buy back incentives to fill there orders and to avoid a partial default. It's going to cost them Billions to cover there shorts and honor there delivery resposibilities. Settelment will be physical delivery, partial delivery with half cash or all FIAT cash along with incentives to there clients not to take physical delivery adding a bonus to there customers to roll there paper into the next month. Tonight at 6:00 EST, the opening bell will dictate where this will be going, I expect a medium volume opening without too much drama till tommorow.
. The Unraveling .
Here is Big Corperate CEO's scrambeling to cash in before the end of April and it's not options expiration either. Basically inside trading, but the SEC will turn a blind eye as usual. This is one of the last heads up IMHO. They are bailing on personal stock holdings. In the top right side corner, toggle "sales" and the list goes on and on and coincedently, all personal sales "stock options" within the same dates. Hmmm.. Revisiting Enron? Lehman Bros? Profit taking is not unreasonable, The mass of Big Corperate taking profit off the table all at the same time is strange non the less, check the dates. This isn't profit taking season, that was a couple months ago.
This week, our Congress Kritters have to get the National Debt vote in, they will vote to raise it, and will create a considerable rift in the Treasury bond sector, PIMCO's Bill Gross has his finger on speed dial to warn his customers to bail on there T bond investments when and if the vote to raise the National Debt limit is made. Tiny Tim is trying to portend his actions but at the end of the day, Bill Gross works for his clients best interest.. Refreshing isn't it?
So, were really going to see some interesting moves this month, their game is so transparent right now it's like ants scrambeling out of a kicked over hill.
Regaurds as always and keep your powder dry.

The Bad Guy.
now that we know "there was the predicted ZH margin hike on silver" as the cause of the sell-off "would ZH please take off the Bolivian Bullshit." And would this author please drop the words "as predicted" from all writing henceforth. the fact of the matter is "if Gensler can't nail silver with a 30% increase in margin rates in one week" then clearly "he's got issues." apparently "so does MF Global" as well, "yet another Goldman fiefdom."
Margin was just doubled at thinkorswim for /SI and /YI
I got an order in at 40.25 for another buy on Silver. So far not looking good. Maybe in the morning, not selling anything. Long way to go, me thinks.
Drop, drop! Been waiting to BTFD.
Musta been someone leaked the Osama news.
have you seen the Nikkei?
Following it's March plunge, it retraced in ABC....the 50 MA is about to cross the 200 MA down.
Nikkei led the decline in 2008 and I believe it is doing so again...except, next, Nikkei will be wave 3 down.
Ben Does it again.
Bin Laden dead --> No need to be in Afghanistan --> Less military spending --> better U.S. fiscal position --> stronger dollar --> lower commodities, especially ones that went parabolic. Check EUR/USD.
The one muslim is defrosting the other muslim's (Osama) corpse as we type.
Jay Son - Silver toppled before Osma Bin Hidens' slaying hit the newswires ...Silver dived for some other reason
Exogenous cause rationale is purely linear extrapolation.
Silver did not plunge because of this or that event...social mood changed.
Elliot Wave showed Silver to have completed 5th of 5 waves, and so a down....this down could be more than expected as it could be a primary 3 down.....
the goon squad at Elliott Wave International have been trying to pin wave 5's on Gold and Silver all the way through 2010... they have failed (miserably) every time. That should tell you their techniques do not work
President Robert Prechter failed so badly he has now given up. He was smashed out of the ball park by all his peers last year. Arrogantly he knocks all his peers constantly thinking he knows something they don't but had nothing to say about his total incompetance throughout 2010, not a word to fleeced fuked over subscribers for getting it wrong month after month. So was his goon Steven Hochberg who failed everytime (my count, 14 out of 14, 100% failure on the PM's)
When someone fails to pedict time after time after time it proves beyond all reasonable doubt their techniques and loony wave theory cannot predict. It is a failed technique proven by its constant repeititive failure to predict
The Elliott Wave clown show not only cannot predict, they also cannot even put wave counts on the past without having to chop and change them. It's a comedy of errors and failures week in week out and a fraud to keep peddlig this bunch of shit to investors... so wake up and smell the stink of Prechters failure throughout 2010 calling wrong tops on Gold, Silver and all the stock Indexes (a complete 100% failure rate)
Elliot Waves don't necessarily work in manias
Realize something very clearly, this is a massive concentration of silver wealth being done here. The banksters are out and are looking to get in. They will peel off weak hands faster than hookers on a friday night party binge.
In this mania, banksters are out which is rare, it won't be for long. Expect a smashdown of huge propertions to shake you out.
It started last week. It'll be banksters, most likely taking silver over 100 not you.
the failure of Elliott Waves was not just PM's last year, it was right across all markets.... Prechter and Hochberg failed as miserably trying to pin 5's on Gold and Silver tops as they did on the S&P, Dow and Nasdaq... they also spent the entire year screaming the US Dollar would turn and rally (Prechter said USD would head to the stars but it dived toward the toilet, along with all the other EWI predictons)
Nobody tripped over their predictions and fell flat on their stupid face more in the entire investment community in 2010 than these Idioticians
That 2010 was an absolute disaster all year and a complete across the investment board wipeout demonstrates unequivicably (100% proof) that Elliott Wave theory is a dead parrot, it cannot predict even close to accurately
...and for Rob Prechter to continue peddling this quack sham garbage as 'expert' investment advise is testimony to his character, his colleagues and his organisation
Considering EWI spends all year gawping at industry peers and how incompetent they are (all of whom smashed EWI out of the ball park in 2010) it's about time he turned his snotty know-it-all analysis in on himself
Rob Prechter & Elliott Wave Theory RIP : dead and buried in 2010
Someone I know has a friend of a friend at a big hedgie. He got the call on Thursday that they are taking silver to $37. This is all manipulation folks. They are probably fleecing the newbie suckers.
"Elliot Wave showed Silver to have completed 5th of 5 waves"
Try using grand-super cycles instead of minuettes as your systemic parameters...
Truly a Goonsman Sucks move. They're trying so hard to suppress the price, but the effort is so futile. Like the Third Reich at the end of WW II.
what happened to silver at the end of the 3rd reich?
Someone shot Hitler with a silver bullet. I saw the video on UTube.
NO idea if this is a hedge, some genius who topped the market or maybe the same @$$ faces are doing the same $hit on the COMEX.
Watch the US dollar if you want to trade the metals.
A few months from now, folks will view this event in their rear-view mirrors and rue this 'golden' opportunity to snag up some precious metals at these distressed prices. The Comex is on the verge of a default and they are playing these games to stall the inevitable. Where's the physical available at these prices? We have just handed the Asians the opportunity of a life time to buy the physical at the price set in the manipulated paper market. The irony is that most of the physical will be bought from the US based dealers.
Gold is down no where near 7.5% ... more like 1.5% ? 1570 > 1545
Silver has recovered almost 1/2 the drop already 48 > 42 > 45
Silver was overdue for a correction, it was taking a parabolic run up to $50 that could not be sustained. Big fucking deal, it dropped back to where it was 10 days ago. I hope it drops back to $35 this summer so I can load up. No QE3 will be announced in July, metals will drop, time to BTFD. Come fall, more QE will be announced, interest rates will not be raised any significant amount, and it's to the moon, Alice. Throughout the rest of the year central banks will continue to buy gold.
Silver has due for a correction it was a parabolic run up to $50 that could not be sustainged. Big fucking deal, it dropped back to where it was 10 days ago. I hope it drops back to $38 so I can load up.

Guilty plea in Vt. town embezzlementMarch 25,2013
BURLINGTON — A former Vermont town clerk and treasurer has pleaded guilty to embezzling several hundred thousand dollars from the town of Weybridge.
Karen Brisson served for about 28 years in Weybridge, a town of less than 900 residents 30 miles south of Burlington.
Prosecutors say Brisson stole money from 2006 to 2012, by writing checks from the town to herself. Officials say a forensic audit puts the town's loss at $476,000.
Brisson's attorney says Brisson's home is for sale and she has signed the mortgage over to the town. The town says it has a $500,000 insurance plan through the Vermont League of Cities and Towns.
She is scheduled to be sentenced in July.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The states congressional delegation announced $2.

If any of your immigration documents are lost or stolen, you should make an appointment to see an International Student Advisor immediately. In some cases, a Form I-102 (Request for Replacement of Lost Document Form) will need to be submitted to INS. The cost for INS replacement documents other than your I-20 is $85. It may take 6 months to receive the replacement documents other than your I-20.
If you are leaving the U.S. for a trip abroad, and you have lost your I-20, a new one can be issued by the International Students Advisor. A new IAP-66 will need to be sent from the SUNY Buffalo office, which can take a few days. In most cases, a new I-94 will be issued to you automatically upon re-entry into the U.S.
You are strongly encouraged to make photocopies of all immigration documents and keep them in a separate, safe location.
If you have lost your passport, you must contact the embassy of the country which issued your passport.

Intro for Asumah
Hey Oldies
Been gaming on consoles and PCs since not long after I could walk. I missed out on the C64 and early atari phase of gaming . The earliest game I remember playing was called Antix on an ancient Amstrad 512K.
Then got my first Master System and NES when I was about 5 or 6, and it was a done deal, been playing video games ever since, have owned every console since then, except maybe a Saturn. With various iterations of gaming PCs along the way
I am looking to join you guys at ToG for Neverwinter, I want in on the ground floor with this game, have been waiting for a Forgotten Realms MMO for years.
I currently play WoW although I am all hardcore raided out, DDO but I have missed too many updates and that game is not friendly to new players or returning players.
Enjoyed my beta time with Path of Exile, it has some good ideas for loot and I do like the skill 'galaxy' they have implemented.
I nearly always pick the rogue/stealth/jerk class in every MMO or SP RPG I get, so I will be rolling a Trickster Rogue first thing in NWO.
I am constantly replaying heavily modded Dragon Age 1 games, replaying Mass Effect(1,2,3) until I can recite the whole game. Been thoroughly enjoying the re-release of Baldurs Gate I, cant wait for Shadows of Amn to be re-done, it is one of my favorite games of all time.
I nearly always pick the rogue/stealth/jerk class in every MMO or SP RPG I get, so I will be rolling a Trickster Rogue first thing in NWO.
I will be logging in the femtosecond the servers go up for the 2nd beta weekend for Neverwinter, hope to see you guys there.

San Miguel County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a wind energy ordinance governing the development of wind farms in the county despite concerns that such projects would create noise pollution and hurt the quality of life for residents who live near them.
Among the top criticisms of the ordinance was the half-mile setback, the requirement that wind turbines be at least half a mile away from any occupied house, commercial building, hospital, school or church. A county task force had previously recommended a three-mile setback.
Where did they go?
Las Vegas and San Miguel County have fewer residents than 10 years ago, according to 2010 census figures released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Mora County, Wagon Mound and Pecos also saw a drop in their populations.
Indeed, many of New Mexico's rural areas remained stagnant or lost population while the state's urban areas like Rio Rancho grew during that period.
The state actually grew by more than 240,000 people over the past decade, with more than 2 million people living here.
The murky question of whether the new city charter approved by 56 percent of voters last year is valid may not be headed to court anytime in the near future after all.
City Attorney Dave Romero told the City Council Tuesday that asking a judge for a declaratory judgement on the charter's validity could run into a problem — the fact that no one is challenging the charter's legitimacy so far.
The San Miguel County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in locating two young children.
A missing persons report was filed Saturday for Grace Lucero Montoya, who is 5 months old, and Mary Lucero Montoya who is almost 2, said Deputy Sheriff Roy Pacheco. He said the two appear to have been taken by their mother, who does not have custody.
New Mexico Highlands University experienced a slight drop in enrollment on its main campus this spring while enrollment at Luna Community College went up a little, according to census day enrollment figures released by the schools.
Highlands' main campus had 2,194 students as of Feb. 4, its census date. That's a loss of 13 students for the spring semester currently under way compared to spring 2010.
A little-known after-school club at West Middle School called Business Professionals of America burst onto the scene five years ago, and its participants have since won state and national attention at competitions in Albuquerque and New York City.
This year, 30 West Middle School students brought home state titles, and they're now gearing up to compete at the national level. West High School is sending 10 state champions to nationals. Valley Middle School, which just started its chapter this year, is sending five students.

SANTA FE — Lawmakers are proposing to finance $240 million in capital improvements across New Mexico, including $15 million for projects needed for Native American water rights settlements.
The Senate Finance Committee approved the measure on Monday, sending it to the full Senate for consideration.
Anyone who has driven down Seventh Street between Mills Avenue and Lee Drive recently knows that the frustrating orange cones have made their return to Las Vegas.
Crews are working on an $809,000 curb and sidewalk project.
The project, which started about a week and a half ago, is expected to be completed by late April or early May, said Kenny Lujan, spokesman for the state Department of Transportation's District 4 office.
Lujan is cautioning motorists to drive carefully in the area.
Las Vegas police arrested a 49-year-old man after he allegedly stabbed someone Saturday night.
Jerry Cordova, of the 1300 block of Keen Street, has been charged with aggravated battery and tampering with evidence. Magistrate Philip Romero set his bond at $10,000 cash.
According to a statement of probable cause filed Monday in Magistrate Court, the victim, Leroy Vigil, walked into the Las Vegas Police Department at about 10 p.m. Saturday and reported that he had been stabbed on the left side of his stomach.

Officials at the State Land Office have been busy reviewing records and charting a legal strategy as they consider what to do about a massive tire dump that stretches through a remote arroyo in northeastern New Mexico.
Land Commissioner Ray Powell said his office expects to have a plan in place soon for dealing with the thousands of tires that are filling the dry wash. Powell was alerted to the tire dump by Albuquerque television station KRQE.

The Coast Guard recently completed the second of three planned shipboard demonstrations of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) capabilities aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf. These exercises are part of an ongoing effort to explore UAS capabilities and shipboard handling techniques. The Coast Guard is using knowledge gained from these demonstrations to inform a future cutter-based UAS acquisition project.
During the two-week deployment, the UAS demonstration team operated a ScanEagle UAS for more than 90 hours of flight time and aided in the interdiction of nearly 600 kilograms of cocaine – the first Coast Guard interdiction conducted with the support of an embarked UAS asset.
The ScanEagle was deployed by the Bertholf to provide real-time surveillance and location information of a suspected go-fast vessel. The UAS located the target vessel and maintained constant on-scene surveillance until the cutter-based MH-65D Short Range Recovery helicopter and Over the Horizon (OTH) cutter boats arrived to interdict and apprehend the vessel's crew. The seamless handoff between responding assets – including the U.S. Customs and Border Protection P-3 Maritime Patrol Aircraft that first spotted the target vessel – UAS, upgraded MH-65D, next-generation cutter boats and Bertholf, with the regular communication with shore commands, resulted in the successful operation.
The UAS evaluation was conducted by a team of technicians and aviators from Coast Guard Headquarters, the Coast Guard Research and Development Center (RDC), Coast Guard Air Station North Bend, Ore., and Insitu Inc.
The UAS evaluation was conducted by a team of technicians and aviators from Coast Guard Headquarters, the Coast Guard Research and Development Center (RDC), Coast Guard Air Station North Bend, Ore., and Insitu Inc.
The entire test period included concurrent flight operations with a MH-65D stationed aboard the Bertholf. UAS testing included use of the daytime camera, the combination electro-optical/infrared camera, as well as auto detection software.
UAS evaluation is a key part of the Coast Guard's efforts to develop a comprehensive understanding of UAS requirements, capabilities and limitations and to oversee initial training for the first cadre of cutter-based UAS operators. Results from the demonstration project are being used to support Coast Guard decisions regarding operational requirements for a future cutter-based UAS acquisition. The Coast Guard has identified cutter-based UAS as a key component to enhancing the operational effectiveness of its major cutter fleet through on-demand, persistent surveillance capabilities
The next phase of UAS demonstration will focus on quantitative data gathering aboard a National Security Cutter in early 2014.

Training for the Bike Ride I'm Not Training For
by Brittany Griffith
Bleeding sunburns and limping – those were my earliest memories of people returning from RAGBRAI. What's that? You don't know what RAGBRAI is? (I'm just as shocked when people don't know what RAGBRAI is as the Canadian who realizes that Americans don't know who Terry Fox is.) RAGRBRAI is an acronym for Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa. Yes, that's right – a bike across the entire state of Iowa. RAGBRAI is a non-competitive bike ride that starts on Iowa's western border by dipping a rear tire in the Missouri, and ends, approximately 475 miles later, on the eastern border, after dipping a front tire in the Mississippi. The ride averages around 70 miles a day. Currently, close to 10,000 riders participate in this every year. If you are from Iowa, you have to do it at least once in your life to be considered a true Iowan. Or at least house, feed, shower, or cheer on a rider.
RAGBRAI stops at eight host communities along the way with the route changing every year. The whole state awaits the announcing of the route, which happens in March. Trust me, it's a BIG deal in Iowa if RAGBRAI stops in your town. The whole town goes ape shit and it's all anybody talks about for months.

College Hockey:Sertich Gains 300th Win
DULUTH, Minn. — Minnesota-Duluth coach Mike Sertich won his 300th career game on December 21, as the Bulldogs defeated visiting Harvard, 4-2, in a non-conference game.
The win is a milestone for the 14-year coach Sertich, but far from the only one. Not only has he won 300 games, but he has also been named the WCHA Coach of the Year four times, only the second to do so; has compiled a .539 winning percentage (300-254-35); guided his team to three WCHA championships (1983-84, 1984-85, 1992-93); four NCAA appearances (including a classic four-overtime championship game against Bowling Green); and he won the Spencer-Penrose Award as Division I National Coach of the Year in 1983-84.
Sertich is the winningest coach in the history of Minnesota-Duluth hockey, after taking over in 1982 for Gus Hendrickson. The win also places Sertich 36th on the all-time NCAA win list.
A native of Virginia, Minn., Sertich played with Minnesota-Duluth three seasons from 1966-69, accumulating nine points in 64 games as a defenseman. He went on to coach at Grand Rapids high school with Gus Hendrickson, and in 1975 the two joined the UMD hockey program, Hendrickson as head coach and Sertich as associate in charge of recruiting.
His current season has the Bulldogs at 11-8-1, good for fifth place in the WCHA. The team's next WCHA action comes when they host Alaska-Anchorage on January 10-11, 1997, after an exhibition game against an international team.

Military Personnel Data System upgrade in December
Military Personnel Data System upgrade in December
Posted 10/2/2012 Updated 10/2/2012
Email story
Print story
10/2/2012 -
-- The Air Force Personnel Center will be performing a mass update to the Military Personnel Data System from Dec. 3 through approximately Dec. 26, to migrate the system to a more secure framework. During that period, no Personnel transactions may be updated through that system, so officials encourage customers to accomplish these actions before the deadlines below to ensure their records are up-to-date for the change. All Airmen should check their Virtual MPF records for any transactions they may need to complete before the upgrade begins.
How will this affect my personnel record?
Certain actions, including Re-enlistment, Extension, Base of Preference, and Retraining, need to be accomplished well in advance of the Dec. 3 deadline to ensure enough time for completion of the action. Refer to the timetable if you are completing these actions to ensure that you meet the suspense. For other actions, including Assignments, Separations, and Evaluations, your information will be pulled early and tracked manually during the switch, and then updated once the new system comes online.
If an Airman is considering any of the following during December 2012
Applying for re-enlistment, extension or separation:
Submit application to the 377th Force Support Squadron by Oct. 29
Completing a base of preference application:
Submit application to the Air Force Personnel Center by Nov. 1
Completing an in-place base of preference application:
Submit application to AFPC by Nov. 1
Applying for voluntary retraining:
Submit application to AFPC by Nov. 15
Scheduling DLPT test for Foreign Language Proficiency Bonus:
Submit application to FSS/MSS by Nov. 15
Updating Servicemembers Group Life Insurance:
Submit application to FSS/MSS and AFPC by Nov. 16
Re-enlisting (if delayed, SRB could pay in January 2013 and December 2013, which could increase income tax):
Submit application to FSS/MSS and AFPC by Nov. 16
Extending current enlistment:
Submit application to FSS/MSS and AFPC by Nov. 16
How will this affect pay?
Most transactions will not affect pay. For certain ones, including Accessions, Department of Defense Benefits/Entitlements, Retirements, Separations or Re-enlistments during the upgrade, the Military Personnel Section will send the transaction data through AFPC directly to DFAS for processing. Non-critical pay-affecting updates, including Promotion, Special Duty and Bonus pay, will be delayed until after the upgrade. Pay actions held during the migration will be retroactive to the actual effective date. Officials encourage customers to perform these transactions before MilPDS goes offline, so pay is correct before the 23-day upgrade period.
When will transactions appear in military personnel records after the system upgrade?
The Military Personnel Section will have a prioritized list of transactions to complete once the MilPDS system becomes available, on or about Dec. 26. Critical pay-affecting cases will be input by each section first, followed by non-critical pay-affecting issues and other non-critical actions. The MPS will track each individual's case manually during this time, to ensure that the actions are completed at the first opportunity once the system is available. It will take the MPS some time to process the 23 days' worth of transactions, so keep a record of the action for your reference until it is updated in your Military Personnel record. Most held transactions will then be updated within 10 business days.
For more information about how the system upgrade will affect personnel actions, go to the websites below or call the phone numbers provided.

Blog Redesign and my Eight Favorite Parenting LinesHey all,
Voila! I hereby reveal my all-new redesigned blog! Huge shout out to a reader, one Keri Gerheart, who has been working on this with me since March, when I said I wanted to make some serious changes around these parts. She said she was a reader who really appreciated my blog and wanted to help, and help she did. She was awesome. And now all of my changes are complete!
Aish.com today, featuring my 8 favorite parenting lines, and why I credit Judaism with all of them. So many questions about parenting... one answer. Check it out and tell me what you think.
Ok, so here's the tour of the new blog. I know some of you don't like change but I'm not one of those people. Hopefully you'll love it.
Firstly, the look and feel are new. Whiter. Fresher. Lighter.
Second, there are now two navigation bars instead of one. The top one, which was there all along, has a new tab, called "advertising." This is info for businesses or ventures that feel their product or service would be of interest to the OOTOB community, and wish to advertise here. I plan to treat this with complete integrity and only display partners that truly jive with our mission here at OOTOB.
Speaking of our mission, I've moved my "about" page right out front, where every reader can see it as soon as he or she shows up at the blog.
The lower navigation bar is where nearly all of my posts are organized by category. This reflects my diverse readership - some really want to understand Orthodox Jews better, whereas others are interested in Jewish inspiration. Some find interviews most interesting; voracious readers will want to peruse the book reviews; some love to dive into controversial observations. This bar is an easy way to do that.
The social media buttons are all new, and will make it easier to connect and share my stuff.
On the right, you'll see some places I've been featured; under that are ads that relate to OOTOB. Finally, all the way under THAT, are the archives organized by date (as opposed to topic).
Also, look up, at the URL bar. See that cute little orange box in the left corner? That's called a "favicon" (Keri taught me that, I'm just showing off now). It's new, too. It's sort of like my little pet.
So... would love to hear your feedback!

Well thank you!! Gosh.. I didn't even notice that!Delete

A nice, very "you", article. I myself am far less concerned about full honesty. We train kids to be polite (like requiring them to say "thank you" when they want to say "I hate your food"), we omit things that will cause hurt in our dealings with others, I care about feelings more than about facts, and there are situational issues where other values--yes, including my own sanity in a difficult parenting moment--trump full disclosure for me. I sometimes think honesty is overrated as a value.ReplyDelete
Are you saying in the article that you yourself got these values from the Torah, or that the Torah was the very first formulation thereof (and if so, it could have been more direct on number one with that ox story, and maybe some of the others)? Some of them seem to me like just good values--which I guess for you means they HAVE to have come from the Torah. For me it looks like they are on their own good and also get confirmation in the Torah. Commonsense might dictate some of these as well. Or non-Jewish ethics. Or experience.
I'm not sure about the O metaphysics behind "good values" or "good ideas" or "where good comes from". Could a human being come up with "a good idea" or even a value that didn't ultimately originate with God?Replies
Hmmm.. what do you mean by "you"? A follow-the-rules thing? A "let's prove everything comes from the Torah thing"?Delete
I am saying that I myself got these values from Torah. I am also saying that all good ideas and good values will have their source somewhere in Torah. I am further saying that often people discuss parenting values with me, in a way where two options seem equally viable, and it seems so confusing, and Torah puts a total clarity on the issue in an objective sense where nothing else does.
- SomethingSweetJune 18, 2014 at 12:14 PM
As Ruchi quoted, the Torah says "midbar sheker tirchok" "You should stay very far from speaking falsely". It could have said "Thou shalt never lie", but it didn't. Why? Because sometimes the truth takes second place to another value, usually to avoid hurting people's feelings as Should Be Working mentioned. Examples in the Torah are Hashem not telling Avraham that Sara laughed at the idea that her old husband would have a child (hope I got the story the right way round!) and the debate in the Talmud between Hillel and Shammai about whether we should be honest in our praises of a bride or say what would make her feel good on her special day. Feelings win out over truth. Of course that is a Truth all of it's own. I think telling your children to thank a person for a gift even if they don't like it is totally a Torah value. I drill my kids on this before every birthday. Hakaras HaTov, expressing appreciation, is a Torah value.Delete
I think what Ruchi had in mind was things like not lying for your own convenience like telling someone to say you're not home when you get an unwanted phone call or lying about your kids' ages to get a cheaper rate at the zoo.
As for what came first, values or Torah? We learn that G-d looked into the Torah in order to create the world and the world includes us humans and our psychological make-up. We also learn that our souls learn the whole of Torah in the womb. So it's "in us" as much as in the book. It's not that humans made a religion that fits the human psychology. Rather G-d makes a human psychology based on the Torah. Of course the struggle between good and bad within each of us IS the purpose and challenge of life so we weren't created as perfect Torah-following robots but deep down we all know a truth about the right way to be. The difficult part is that we also have the ability to fool ourselves about the truth when our desires pull us else where. Not to mention the fact that the desires are often to follow the crowd or the beliefs of groups that are antithetical to Torah values and these can be very appealing and convincing. That's just one of the reasons why Orthodox Jews place such an emphasis on constantly learning Torah because it helps keep us focused on the truth and gives clarity.
- Should be workingJune 18, 2014 at 12:51 PM
I meant "very 'you'" definitely as a compliment, as a synonym and expansion of "very nice"! Both practical, with those numbered points that make things easy to digest quickly, and lending itself to more thought.Delete
Reading your ideas about how all good values/ideas come from the Torah I'm getting a sense for how OJ seems to embody some elements of certain philosophical movements I've read about, from around 300 CE. Makes total sense, Maimonides etc. also must have read that stuff. This actually makes me feel more sympathetic to your way of seeing how all values come from Torah. I know that this is wayyy out into the dry academic sphere, though, compared to practical parenting advice.
But I love things that are way out and different from how I'm used to thinking. That's what makes this conversation interesting.Delete
Re honesty being overrated. What would you do if your kid borrowed a friends' CD and downloaded a bunch of songs?Delete
- Should be workingJune 20, 2014 at 2:22 AM
Not ok with me. I'm talking about fibs: "yes I brushed my teeth" and "it's not my turn to walk the dog" and even "no I'm not wearing mascara" (with grey smudges under eyes). The flip side of us not being so stuck on them being honest is that they also experience us not believing them sometimes when they are honest, and they get so indignant--but then have to admit that we have reason not to believe them all the time. Somehow it adds levity, kind of a space for irony. And it can go both ways--they might look online to check a store's open hours when I tell them it's closed so we can't stop there.Delete
I do that too. I ignore plenty. I try not to box them into a corner though where forced to lie.Delete
But practically how would you handle the CD thing?Delete
- Should be workingJune 20, 2014 at 11:11 AM
I would say that I disapprove and say why. I wouldn't likely follow up with action though. I'm stricter than most of my adult friends about software piracy and all that.Delete
Yay Ruchi!! It looks so great! I'm so excited for you to have it all organized this way. The white space is a fresh update, too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Nina! I was inspired by your design, actually. The sidebar "As Featured In" was copycatted from you. So thanks!Delete
I LOVE the redesign! Looks great!ReplyDeleteReplies
From you, I take that as a great compliment!Delete
Congrats on the new design, it looks great! It's always fun to make a webpage more your own. (Now off to read the article...)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the shout out! Glad to see your getting such nice feedback on the new look :)ReplyDelete
Ruchi, re honesty, what do you when someone says, "Let's get together" and clearly means it, but you know you never want to spend time with that person? Just wondering.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's a great question. Most people don't follow up with vague invitations like that so usually it works to say something equally vague and true like "sounds like a plan [but I hope it doesn't happen]!" or "sounds good [on paper]!"Delete

Samsung SCH-W760 to offer infrared video calling
Samsung is getting ready to release a new phone that will allow users to make video calls even when in the dark.
The phone, model name Samsung SCH-W760, is a slider that uses infrared rays, so that you don't necessarily need a light source when making a video call – although the images achieved are not color, but black & white.
Apart from infrared technology, the W760 also features a 2.8 inch AMOLED screen, a 3MP camera, DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcasting), Bluetooth, music player, mobile printing, flashlight and global GSM connectivity.
Without having an original design, the phone looks quite good:
It's said that Samsung W760 will be available only in South Korea, via SK Telecom. Details about its price and release date are not known.

In Cannon Law, the Church designates two places as "Sacred"...
Places where the faithful worship
Places where the faithful are buried
We at Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery continue to perform the corporal work of mercy, burying the bodies of the faithful, and caring for their final Catholic resting places with dignity, honor, and respect while making provisions for the future through adequate recordkeeping, proper perpetual care investments, and support of services to assist families with accurate information on legal and contractual matters related to cemetery sites, assignments, etc.We can also assist with third party services that may be beneficial to our families before and after the loss of a loved one.
For the final committal service, Mt. Olivet offers a beautiful, contemporary chapel free from inclement weather.
As a "Sacred" property and resting site of the faithful departed who await the resurrection of the body on the last day, we at Mt. Olivet feel it fitting that we care for this resting site in a manner that reflects its sacred nature, until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Is cornerback the Miami Dolphins' deepest position?
There's a toughness to Will Allen that's hard to put into words.
The best way I can explain it is by comparing Allen to that small, but scrappy kid in your neighborhood who never backed down from a fight.
Anytime Allen's been counted out, or told he wasn't or couldn't do something, he did it anyway.
When I started covering the team in 2007 all I heard was how bad Allen was, but day after day I watched him pull down interceptions during training camp.
Some didn't think he'd hold onto his starting spot when the Dolphins used a first and second-round pick to draft Vontae Davis and Sean Smith in 2009, but he did, outperforming Davis to retain the starting spot he's held for all but one game of his 10-year NFL career.
When Allen tore his ACL in three places that season few thought he'd be healthy enough to participate in training camp. Not only was Allen back on the practice field in nine months but he initially participated in the team's two-a-day sessions (which wasn't a wise idea in hindsight).
Because of Allen's bloated salary his tenure was supposed to end with the Dolphins this month, but Allen and his representatives have reworked his deal, allowing the Dolphins to keep their most experienced member of the secondary.
Allen wanted to remain in South Florida, where his family is settled. He'll continue mentoring the Dolphins' young cornerbacks, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that this former first-round pick could resume his starting role if his surgically repaired knee is healthy.
As I've said, I've learned to stop counting him out.
His presence gives the Dolphins a trio of proven starters, and two players – Allen and Benny Sapp – with a ton of experience playing the nickel cornerback spot, which is probably the most difficult spot on defense.
The Dolphins' secondary also features Nolan Carroll and Nate Ness, two young cornerbacks that deserve continued investments.
I can see all six cornerbacks making the 53-man roster in 2011 if they stay healthy (and if we're playing football), which makes that position one of the deepest on the team, moving the cornerbacks ahead of the defensive line, which presently features two unrestricted free agents in nose tackle Paul Soliai and defensive end Tony McDaniel.
So, in your opinion, how much does retaining Allen, restructuring his deal, benefit the Dolphins defense in 2011?
