Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
Someone's in the Kitchen

I have a very unusual house built in 1900. The kitchen is and always has been in the basement. I have done a title search and found the first title exchange listed Hermine B. Deragisch as the seller. Later research showed she was born in Austria and her husband Lea C. Deragisch was born in Switzerland. Their first American residence was in Springfield, Minnesota. In one Prarie Home Companion show I thought I heard Garrison say "the women went down to the kitchen". Was I hearing correctly and is there a style of house which has the kitchen in the basement?

The kitchen at Lake Wobegon Lutheran Church is in the basement and so is the dining hall and fellowship room. I'm not aware of any residence with a basement kitchen. Women would not tolerate that, I think, unless there were a good reason perhaps there'd be a summer kitchen down there, since it's cooler in the basement, or maybe a canning kitchen, but not your primary kitchen, which is a social center, and the basement is not where you'd want to take people to socialize. It has punitive connotations. Also an atmosphere of storage.

I remember the basement at the
church of my youth. We had youth
group parties, wedding receptions,
women's luncheons and fashions
shows, and later I even taught
pre-schoolers motor movement on
rainy days.
It was warm in the winter (from
the ovens), and cool in the summer.
What memories...

Interesting. In the less Nordic world of ethnic Americans, as seen on the East Coast, there are frequently two kitchens; the one upstairs being used for breakfasts and other light duties, but the really heavy-duty cooking gets done in the basement kitchen.
Old town houses, especially in Europe, were often built with the kitchen in the basement, since it was work space for the servants rather than part of the house for The Family. Remember "Upstairs, Downstairs." My family, newly arrived at a diplomatic posting in London in 1958, spent a month temporarily housed in a rowhouse with the kitchen in the basement. My mother nearly went nuts.
I don't know if this is an Italian or an Italian-American thing, but on the east coast, we were always told that Italian houses had 2 kitchens, one for show that was always clean (obviously the one on the main floor) and the one in the basement where the "serious" cooking went on. Aaaaaah, and what cooking it was!!
You bring up the matter of a Church kitchen, not a residence kitchen. Most churches I have been in during my lifetime (and that number would be over 300, most of them Lutheran) have a kitchen in the basement if they have any. The main floor is devoted to the sanctuary. There usually isn't a story above that level. Any side rooms would be for offices or classroom space and the basement would be the most expansive area other than the sanctuary for a fellowship area where the church dinners and other activities would be held. Where better to put the kitchen then next to the fellowship area, and that usually translates to the basement. Also most of the churches that don't have the kitchen in the basement don't have a basement.
You can be sure that the ladies of the congregation only mind when the area is small, cramped, too damp, etc. They will do everything possible to make it a very comfortable area and to their liking, and inviting for visitors.
The previous poster is absolutely correct.
My parents grew up in a little mining town in the anthracite region of central Pennsylvania.
Every house in that town had two kitchens,
one on the main floor and another in the basement.
Each had a coal-burning stove that did double duty
as a food-preparation center and, incredibly enough, a source of heat for the rest of the house.

Possibly the clue is in the owner being Austrian - a European. Many family homes - especially larger ones - in Europe had the kitchen in the basement because it was considered inelegant to have cooking odors wafting through the house. Only the homes of the working-class assaulted your nose with the smell of cabbage boiling because the kitchen was on the same floor as the dining room. I'm writing from a part of Europe that used to be Germany. Friends have a house that had its kitchen in a low-ceilinged basement, too - cramped, dark, dingy (one tiny window at ground level). But the house was the summer home of a doctor, in a spa town. The servants were invisible downstairs, food was brought up back stairs into a sort of pantry (now the 'modern' - tiny - first-floor kitchen), and dishes taken away to be washed in a scullery in the basement (a separate room from the kitchen). It's awfully dreary! But that was elegance about a hundred or so years ago. My friends are planning to use it as a canning kitchen one day.
In the US, some houses had their kitchens in a separate building or lean-to. The idea was that since a fire was going all the time in the kitchen, if the wood-frame kitchen building or lean-to caught fire, it would be possible to save the rest of the building from burning down. And of course, in hot weather, the heat of the kitchen was kept in the kitchen. Mark Twain wrote about such a kitchen at his uncle's farm in his autobiography.
Amish friends have 2 kitchens in their house one upstairs, one downstairs. When they were building their home, the basement was built first and then the upstairs was finished as the men got to it. So the family lived a year or so in the basement. It also serves them well when church is at their house. My real question is for Garrison. What is the secret of you prolificness?
My Italian grandmother always cooked in the basement of her Chicago home.....and in the basement of the Catholic church. Frying up Italian sausage and bell peppers in the heavy summer heat was a lot more tolerable down there. Only in winter did she come upstairs to cook.

Today my group and I gave our presentation about Papa John's. We put a lot of work in, and wow were we in for a surprise today! This was our second presentation for the class, and we were expecting a nice easy presentation after practicing it as a group. It didn't exactly go as planned. … More >
What a great weekend. One of my oldest friends from freshman year visited from the Chicago area this weekend.

It was about a week ago that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach wrote an opinion piece in The Wichita Eagle defending his voter ID law. Kobach has made a career promoting that law, not only in Kansas but elsewhere.
That new law is probably the most racist and xenophobic action taken in Kansas since the Ku Klux Klan had influence here. Members of the organization KanVote have accused Kobach of trying to stop minorities, poor people and immigrants from voting.
In Kobach's own words to The Wichita Eagle:
"Because of the Secure and Fair Elections Act of 2011, Kansas now leads the way in securing the integrity of elections. Our photo-ID and proof-of-citizenship rules make election fraud extremely difficult."
Not only is voting fraud harder to get away with, but a lot of eligible voters are also having a hard time getting to vote. The ACLU has charged that the new law has prevented 18,000 voters in Kansas from voting in local contests even though they can vote in federal elections. The documents needed for proof of citizenship in state or local elections are not needed for federal contests. That has lead to a two tier system.
The ACLU is not the only organizations to charge that more than 10,000 people who were able to vote before the new law can no longer vote today.
How much voter fraud has this new law prevented? Before the law, Kobach often agreed in public forums that there were about 20 confirmed cases of fraud the years before he passed this law. In 2006 U.S. Attorney spokesman Jim Cross said their office received 10 to 20 voting-related complaints.
Kobach pointed out in his article that other states have adopted Kansas' anti-fraud law:
"Other states, such as Alabama and Pennsylvania, have since adopted parts of the Kansas model."
This is because Kobach has spent a lot of his time traveling to other states to promote his anti-voting law. That means he has spent less time doing the job he was elected to do.
Another state that adopted such laws was Arizona. On June 17th, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down voter registration requirements in Arizona that were essentially identical to those in Kansas. The organization KanVote is pushing for Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt to strike down Kobach's law here in this state.
And Still Kobach has defended his law despite the Supreme Court decision:
"First, the (Wichita Eagle) editorial board incorrectly claimed that the Supreme Court invalidated Arizona's proof-of-citizenship requirement. On the contrary, the court reaffirmed Arizona's right to require proof of citizenship from registering voters. The court held that every state has the sovereign authority to establish and enforce voter qualifications, such as by proving citizenship. The court merely stated that under federal law, Arizona must accept both the state voter-registration form and the federal registration form, even though the federal form as currently written does not require proof of citizenship."
He does acknowledge that he has to defend this law in the courts and assures us that he will not have to use our taxes to do it:
"Furthermore, my office is litigating this suit without spending significant taxpayer dollars. We are not hiring any outside counsel to do the work. Instead, I and the attorneys on my staff are arguing the case ourselves"
Kobach fails to mention that he is employed by the taxpayers and any time he and his staff spend on defending these laws are a waist of the taxpayer's money.
The bottom line is that his voter ID law prevents voting for a lot of people. His arguments of fraud are absurd. The only logical explanation for this law is to prevent minorities, poor people and immigrants from voting and these just happen to be people who don't ordinarily vote for Republicans. .

Rafael Nadal lifted the men's championship trophy for the ninth time on Sunday in Paris, after outlasting Novak Djokovic in four sets, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4.
This one had all the drama and acrobatic shots we have come to expect from this rivalry, but it was marred by both men's reaction to the conditions and Djokovic's sour stomach, so to speak.
NBC decided to use its super so-mo shot for demonstrating how sick Novak truly was. Whatever that was that came out of his mouth between games was way too much information for the average fan. We didn't need it, because anyone who has watched Djokovic over the years knows his body language and facial expressions well enough to know when he's not well.
Nadal went into the match having lost his last four matches against the Serb star, including the title in Rome on clay. Could he defend what has become his home court? You betcha'. It wasn't without its moments of doubt and then fear that Rafa had tweaked his back again, but he was the more physically well player on the court yesterday.
The ebbs and flows of the match were more pronounced than usual. Nadal looked positively out of sorts in the first set, committing unforced errors, even on his super human top spin forehand. Djokovic was hitting balls with maximum force and returning them with speed that helped Nadal look unready to compete at his highest level.
Novak also hit a lot more drop shots than usual and they were humdingers, testing Nadal's knees and back. He served and volleyed a bit, no doubt in part due to his new coach Boris Becker.
Then it was Rafa's turn to put on more of a show as Djokovic began to look a bit sick. In the third, NBC announcer Ted Robinson likened the duel to the Ali-Frazier III bout --- the Thrilla in Manila. Both fighters could have died in that ring and almost did. It was just a matter of who would survive til the final bell. They had absorbed the best each had to offer in the heat of Manila.
A grand slam tournament like the French Open is hard fought over the course of 15 days, with men playing best of five sets format. The power with which the top players hit and the speed used to cover the court takes stamina most mortals don't have. By the time the finals rolls around, you just hope both players are rested enough and physically capable of putting on a great show.
That's what we expect from Nadal vs. Djokoic --- a good show and for a good part of Sunday afternoon we got that. Even as he grew sicker, Novak Djokovic got a third and fourth wind as soon as Rafa began to look vulnerable again. When Novak double-faulted on championship point both men were happy it was over.
Now they go off to the tune-up grass court tournaments prior to the start of Wimbledon. Grass stains on white attire here we come.

College Hockey:Mercyhurst Picked to Repeat in MAAC
Though it may be another year for the MAAC, the coaches of the league see little different from the past and have select 2001 and 2002 regular-season
champion Mercyhurst as the preseason favorite, according to a poll released today at the league's media day.
Receiving four of 11 first-place votes, Mercyhurst tops the poll that seems divided into three distinct sections. The top four teams are very well separated from five through eight, which are similarly separated from the bottom three teams.
According to the coaches, Mercyhurst, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart and Holy Cross will make a run at the 2002-03 title. The Lakers accumulated 109 points, followed by the newly-named Bobcats, which despite receiving more first-place votes (five), totaled only 105 points to fall into second. A dangerous Sacred Heart club received the final two first-place votes and is situated third with 101 points, while last year's surprise, Holy Cross, finished fourth with 94 points.
The middle of the pack ranks far behind the top four as Connecticut and Canisius clock in the fifth and sixth positions with 69 and 68 points
respectively. Iona with 55 points and Army with 51 round out the coaches' picks for playoff teams.
Completing the preseason poll are Fairfield (31 points), AIC (25 points) and Bentley (18 points) — three teams that all missed the playoffs last
season and are tabbed by the coaches to repeat such a fate.
As equal as the sectional divide in the preseason poll, so too were the league's pre-season player awards. Mercyhurst's Adam Tackaberry and Sacred Heart's Martin Paquet were voted as the league's co-preseason players of the year. And Sacred Heart goaltender Eddy Ferhi was named preseason goaltender of the year.
Joining these three players on the preseason first team are Quinnipiac's Brian Herbert and Matt Erhart and Holy Cross' R.J. Irving.
The preseason second team is comprised of Cross' Brandon Doria and Jeff Dams, Merychurst's Mike Muldoon, Sacred Heart's Les Hrapchak, Amry's Chris Casey, and Quinnipiac netminder Jamie Holden.
The MAAC is now in its fifth season of play and begins the league season Oct. 8 when defending champions Quinnipiac travels to Holy Cross.

"We've lost historically African-American neighborhoods such as Jonesville and a good portion of the Shake Rag neighborhood. Our lower income neighborhoods like Saint Joseph are really in danger and have lost a lot of the housing there," said Robin Ziegler of Bowling Green-Warren County's Historic Preservation board.
Instead of vibrant homes either sits new developments, boarded up buildings or in some cases just empty lots of dirt.
According to Ziegler throughout the years different reasons have changed the landscape of the city's historical core.
"There's not just one reason that we lose them. One of the reasons of course is development and new construction. Hospitals, churches, schools, roads...all those things tend to happen on a large scale and wipe out small neighborhoods."
After the times began to change, many of the residents moved out of these neighborhoods, leaving no one one to take care for their historical upkeep.
Ziegler also said its still important that everyone realizes that those living in these small neighborhoods, from all walks of life, were the starting point for what we see today.
"Shake Rag and Saint Joseph are what built Bowling Green. Irish immigrants in Saint Joseph's, the growing black middle class in Shake Rag. These are the people who built it," Ziegler said.

You should begin thinking about graduation as early as your first semester!!
Look at these various recommendations and follow their links to make sure you take the straight route to graduation. It is important to plan early to graduate on time and with all of the proper courses for Daytona State College and potentially your transfer institution.
Manage your own progress - From start to finish!
Step One - Run and Understand your Degree Audit.
Reading the Audit. Your Audit runs based on the degree you have 'on file'. It compares the courses you've taken with the courses you need for the degree. Simply look at the audit and the categories and the list of courses listed. The Audit divides each program into different areas and checks to see that you have satisfied each area. If you are currently enrolled in classes these classes will show up in the Audit as IP which stands for In Progress. IP classes will not Satisfy a category within your degree audit until they are completed and grades are posted. Courses that you may have taken that do not apply to the program will appear in the Unused Courses section. Also, courses that you have taken for which you did not meet the grade minimum (i.e. "C" or better) may appear in Unused Courses as well.
Step Two - Understand Continuous Enrollment
Continuous enrollment means that you have not missed a major semester (fall or spring). Currently enrolled students who attend DSC continuously for each major semester should use the requirements in effect the year they enter. However, if requirements change, continuously enrolled students either may continue under the old requirements or choose to meet any new ones. If as a continuing student, you want to follow new requirements, you must inform the Records Office so that your Catalog Year can be updated in the system. Otherwise your audit and graduation review will be based on previous requirements. New students, and those returning after missing one or more major semesters, must use the requirements listed in the catalog upon their return.
Step Three -Visit our Florida Virtual Campus page to find Transfer Requirements
Transfer Information for Associate of Arts (AA) students. If you are planning to transfer to a four-year college/university, you should make sure that you have not only satisfied Daytona State College's requirements, But that you have checked with you transfer school to make sure that you are aware of their pre-requisite requirements for you intended major. You could use FLVC.org to shop your Daytona State College's coursework with the requirements of the State Universities in Florida. The responsibility for getting accurate transfer information is yours! You need to verify all transfer information with the school to which you want to apply.
Step Four - Understanding the Graduation Processat Daytona State College
If you have satisfied ALL of your program requirements then you can proceed to completing a Graduation Application online through your FalconNet account. You can submit it and pay online.
Email the Records Office about Audit Errors or Graduation.
Please feel free to email an Advisor at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions you may have. Please email from your Falcon Mail account, make sure you include your name, student ID number and any associated information in your email. This will insure you get a response in a timely manner.

Shula was named Alabama's 26th head coach just 114 days prior to the start of the 2003 season and did not have a spring practice session. He previously served as an assistant coach in the NFL with Tampa Bay, Chicago and Miami. A three-year letterman at Alabama (1984-86), Shula was a two-time All-SEC selection and threw for over 2,000 yards as a junior (1985), leading the Crimson Tide to dramatic come-from-behind wins over Georgia and Auburn. Shula is 1-0 against Florida. Florida head coach Urban Meyer (Cincinnati, 1986) is in his second season as head coach of the Gators. He has a compiled a 13-3 (.813) record, including a 4-0 start and No. 5 national ranking this season. Meyer led the Gators to a 9-3 record last year and a win over Iowa in the Outback Bowl. Prior to his stint at Florida, Meyer was the head coach at Bowling Green (2001-02) and Utah (2003-04). He led the Utes to a 12-0 record in 2004 and a win over Pittsburgh in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Overall, Meyer is 52-11 (.825) in six years as a head coach. He is 0-1 against Alabama.

Atlanta - The game didn't end the way Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan wanted it to. Although the Pro Bowl quarterback passed for a franchise record 396 yards on 30 of 42 passing, his Falcons blew a 17-point lead and he had two second half turnovers - an interception and a fumbled shotgun snap.
Making matters worse, Ryan apparently suffered a left shoulder sprain during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
After the game, Falcons Coach Mike Smith didn't want to address Ryan's injury.
Ryan reportedly was diagnosed with a sprained AC joint but will not need surgery, according to an ESPN report.
Ryan suffered the injury in the second half and appeared to be having problems with his shoulder late in the game. He left the locker room with his arm in the sling.
Ryan's injury could push New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees into the starting lineup in next weekend's Pro Bowl game in Hawaii.
Initially Brees was selected as an alternate to the NFC Pro Bowl roster. But he was named to the roster after Washington rookie Robert Griffin III had to pull out of the game with a knee injury.
Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers, who was selected as the starting quarterback, cited multiple injuries and pulled out of the game last week. He was replaced by New York Giants quarterback and New Orleans native Eli Manning.
ATLANTA NOTES: Falcons running back Michael Turner limped off the after a 3-yard run in the third quarter with a sprained ankle. He did not return. He finished the game with 30 yards on eight carries. ... Receiver Julio Jones, who caught 11 passes for 182 yards, set a franchise record for receiving yards in a playoff game. He broke the previous mark of Alfred Jenkins, who had 155 yards in a playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys in 1981. ... Jones and Roddy White, who caught seven passes for 100 yards, became the first Atlanta teammates to record 100-yard receiving games in the same postseason game.

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is a useful and great protocol when you are sitting on the other side of the office/country/planet and don't know what you are working with on a network but CDP has some holes for attackers to leverage that can cause problems.
CDP uses clear-text and unauthenticated to send information about network topology between network devices. An attacker can use a packet sniffer to get information about network infrastructure that we don't really want them to have.
CDP isn't needed on ports that no network management is done (this isn't the case for Cisco IP Phones). You can also go ballistic and disable CDP totally thats up to you. To disable CDP use the following commands
CDP per-port
switch(config)#configure terminal
switch(configp)#interface gigabitethernet 0/1
switch(config-if)#no cdp enable
CDP Globally
switch(config)#configure terminal
switch(config)#no cdp run
Be careful with this, CDP is used in conjunction with or as support for other Cisco protocols
Telnet has a few problems:
- All usernames, passwords, and data sent over a public network (read: Internet) is sent in clear text and is thus vulnerable.
- A user with an account on the system can gain elevated privelages.
- A remote attacker could crash the Telnet service, preventing legitimate service rendering.
- A remote attacker could find an enabled guest account that may be present anywhere in the trusted domain of the server.
iow Dont Telnet over the internet
SSH is a client and server protocol used to log in to another computer over a network. It provides strong authentication and secure communication over a public communication network. SSH may be "more" secure many vendors implementations of SSH is vulnerable.
switch(config)#configure terminal
switch(config)#line vty 0-15
switch(config-line)#transport input ssh
VTY Access Control Lists (ACL)
One can associate ACLs to permit or deny access to a vty port to a switch.
The Number of VTYs differ make sure you get it right and configure an ACL on ALL the VTY connections and don't leave one open
switch(config)#configure terminal
switch(config)#access-list 12 permit 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255
switch(config)#line vty 0 15
switch(config-line)#access-class 12 in

If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, bacterial or viral infections, osteoporosis, arthritis, acid reflux, candidiasis or acne, then you could also have chronic, low-grade inflammation. In fact, if you have any number of other diseases, it is likely you have inflammation. And if you want to get or remain healthy, you definitely want to reduce the damaging effects of it!
Inflammation has a positive and negative affect in your body. Inflammation has a positive side because it helps your body respond to stress. But chronic low-grade inflammation is thought to be one of the leading causes of disease, premature aging and illness.
When you get a cold, your body responds with inflammation in the form of a fever that helps you heal. The inflammation does its job, gets rid of the virus, and disappears. But if your immunity is compromised and your body is constantly stressed, you might experience chronic low-grade inflammation that leaves you more susceptible to illness and disease.
Learn more about inflammation by reading Inflammation: The Real Cause of All Disease and How to Reduce and Prevent It.
You can help your body fight inflammation by reducing stress, eliminating sugar and processed foods, and getting enough sunshine.
Diet is a key part of your inflammation-fighting plan, and some foods have amazing anti-inflammatory properties.
Here are 10 excellent inflammation-fighting foods and ways to incorporate them into your lifestyle:1
Did you know that CocoBiotic has amazing anti-inflammatory effects on your body? On top of that, it can also supercharge your immune system, reduce sugar cravings, and increase energy.
Tart cherries can reduce inflammation ten times better than aspirin! Once your inner ecosystem is well underway you are in stage 2 of Body Ecology. Tart cherries help reduce your risk for heart disease. They are certainly more delicious than the popular over-the-counter pill you are likely familiar with.
While processed foods may seem like the easier choice at first, they deplete your health over the long haul.
Developing a healthy eating plan can sometimes seem difficult but like anything that is new, it becomes second nature over time. And the payoff is well worth it: with a proper diet, you can take a proactive stance against inflammation and disease by incorporating these superfoods into your life.
With diet and lifestyle choices that support your health, you'll fight disease, illness and the signs of aging!

Lisa Vanderpump is shocked by the verdict on her sexual harassment lawsuit. On Tuesday, TMZ shared the news of how it all turned out for her and things did not go the way she expected them to at all. This star of "RHOBH" and "Vanderpump Rules" is not happy.
A jury in L.A. actually sided with Lisa's ex-waitress giving her $100,000 in damages in this sexual harassment lawsuit. Karina Bustillos is the waitress and she worked at Lisa's restaurant Villa Blanca. She said that a male employee actually groped her and and made advances. He was the manager and the odd thing is that they did not find this manager responsible but instead the liability is going back on Lisa Vanderpump.
Lisa has big plans to appeal this decision. Her lawyer spoke out saying, "We are in absolute shock at the amount of punitive damages that were awarded. Especially in light of nominal compensatory damages awarded and the lack of sufficient evidence. We plan to immediately file an appeal and are confident that we will prevail."

Anyone have any expierence with this round???
Years ago before rifled barrels, I always used Brenneke slugs for deer. They were very accurate considering shot from a smooth bore. I never had a bad round and always got my deer. Left a nasty hole too. Now I shoot Sabots through a rifled barrel.
I got some Brenneke KO slugs for my SD shotty,I like them
The name sure sounds tactical.
Seriously, I used to use the Breneke low recoil slugs a lot and never had an issue with their quality.

1. Kansas City Chiefs: Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah - I've finally given up on putting a QB in round one. There just isn't one worth taking. If the Chiefs retain Albert, which I think they will, Lotulelei will be the best player availible at a position of need.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Damontre Moore, DE/OLB, Texas A&M - The offense hasn't been quite as bad as the defense this season, and there's no quarterback good enough worth taking #2 overall. Moore, on the other hand, is one of the best players in the entire draft. He's the kind of difference maker the Jags desperately need on defense.
3. Oakland Raiders: Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri - The Raiders need an upgrade at just about every position on defense. They are aging and thin at DT, so this would be a wise choice. Richardson is a beast and one of the draft's top talents. He will continue to rise up the draft boards as the we get closer to the draft.
4. Philadelphia Eagles: Luke Joekel, OT, Texas A&M - No matter who the QB will be for this team opening day, they are going to need to bring in some protection for him. Kelly will probably want to bring in the top offensive lineman in the draft.
5. Detroit Lions: Bjoern Werner, DE/OLB, Florida State - The Lions pass rush has been very disappointing this season and has made their secondary look even worse than they are. Werner is just as good as Moore as a pass rusher.
6. Cleveland Browns: Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia - Jones is jut the kind of guy they need to put some pressure on the Quarterback. He's weak in run support, but his pass rushing skills are elite. He'll work well in their new 3-4 defense.
7. Arizona Cardinals: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan - Fisher certainly hasn't proven enough to merit a top 10 selection, but he could easily rise to this spot if the Cardinals want a tackle bad enough. Their second round QB won't stand a chance with the current offensive line.
8. Buffalo Bills: Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee - No quarterback and no linebacker worth taking here, so assuming Levitre and Byrd are resigned, WR is the biggest need for Buffalo. I can see Patterson establishing himself as the #1 WR in the class in the coming months.
9. New York Jets: Ezekiel Ansah, DE/OLB, BYU - I doubt the Jets will end up going for a WR here, so they will probably get the best outside pass rusher available. Ansah will fly up the draft boards after the combine.
10. Tennessee Titans: DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama - I keep going back and forth between safety and corner here, but Milliner is just too good to pass up at this juncture.
11. San Diego Chargers: Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma - The Chargers desperately need help at tackle. Rivers, a rookie, whoever the quarterback is won't have much success without better blocking up front. Not many people have Johnson as a first rounder yet, but his stock is one the rise after handling Damontre Moore pretty handily in the final game of the season.
12. Miami Dolphins: Keenan Allen, WR, California - Whether Hartline is retained or not, Tannehill still needs an actual #1 receiving option.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State - Tampa needs a couple of corners added to their roster this season, and Banks will probably be available for them here at 13 overall.
14. Carolina Panthers: Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State - The Panthers have ignored the DT position for too long. Having a guy like Hankins available to them will be too much to pass up.
15. New Orleans Saints: Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU - The Saints just need to take the best defensive lineman available here. Mingo has the potential to develop into a great pass rusher.
16. St. Louis Rams: Chance Warmack, G, Alabama - The Rams need to find as much help for Bradford as they can in this draft, and Warmack is probably the most talented lineman in the class. He's only available here because of his position.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers: Dion Jordan, DE/OLB, Oregon - Harrison is nearing the end of the road, so a fresh young pass rusher needs to be brought in this season. Jordan offers a great value at this spot in the draft.
18. Dallas Cowboys: Kenny Vacarro, S, Texas - I thought Dallas was going to move up and draft Barron last year, so I could easily see them taking the top safety in the class with their first round selection this year.
19. New York Giants: Alec Ogletree, LB, Georgia - The Giants need multiple linebackers added to their defense, so spending a first rounder on a talent like Ogletree makes perfect sense for them.
20. Chicago Bears: Jonathon Cooper, G/C, North Carolina - There really isn't a pure tackle worth taking here, but Chicago will take any help they can get on the line. Cooper is strong and versitile prospect who could start at any of the interior positions on the line.
21. Minnesota Vikings: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee - Ponder has been dreadful without Harvin towards the end of this season. Hunter would provide a great #2 option while also being an insurance policy on the injury prone Harvin.
22. Cincinnati Bengals: Manti Te'o, LB, Notre Dame - Between his poor performance in the national championship game and all the fake girlfriend stuff, Te'o could easily drop to the bottom half of the draft. The Bengals desperately need some help at linebacker, so Te'o would be amazing value here based on talent. The Bengals have been known to bring in players with character concerns before, and they've been able to get the most out of them.
23. St. Louis Rams (Via Washington): Tyler Eiffert, TE, Notre Dame - The Rams would be wise to add another security blanket for Sam Bradford, and a potentially elite TE would do wonders for him.
24. Indianapolis Colts: Jesse Williams, NT, Alabama - I hate Williams this early, but he seems to be flying up everyone's draft boards. The Colts do desperately need a solid nose tackle, so Williams would be a strong possibility here.
25. Seattle Seahawks: Kawann Short, DT, Perdue - One of the only things the Seahawks defense is missing is a rusher who can come up the middle. Short has been one of the best interior pass rushers in all of college football the last few seasons.
26. Green Bay Packers: Barrett Jones, C/G/T, Alabama - Green Bay needs to do a better job protecting Rodgers. They'll love Jones' versatility, who could pretty much start at any position except LT in my opinion.
27. Houston Texans: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor - Texans really need to grab a wideout as early as possible. Williams would also take a lot of pressure off of Johnson now that there's another legitimate weapon on the field.
28. Denver Broncos: Bennie Logan, DT, LSU - The Broncos defense is very strong already, but they could still use some help at DT. Logan is a good fit at the end of round one.
29. New England Patriots: Xavior Rhodes, CB, Florida State - The Patriots secondary has been a revolving door, so they need to address that in round one. Either a corner or a safety should be chosen here.
30. Atlanta Falcons: Sam Montgomery, DE/OLB, LSU - The Falcons have a big hole at DE to fill across from Abraham.
31. Baltimore Ravens: DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson - Flacco has looked lost out there until the playoffs. Either way, Boldin is getting old and Flacco needs a second weapon across from Smith.
32. San Francisco 49ers: Eric Reid, S, LSU - The 49ers could use some depth in their secondary, and safety is arguably their thinnest position. Reid is a decent value at the end of round one.

Happy Demiversary everyone!
Last year (May 14, 2013), Hollywood Records' very own, Demi Lovato, released her self-titled album Demi. The compilation includes hit tracks like "Heart Attack," "Made in the USA," "Neon Lights," and "Really Don't Care (feat. Cher Lloyd)." In celebration of her album, the superstar is now touring around the world for the "Neon Lights Tour."
A year later, Lovato celebrates the self titled album's one year anniversary, or should we say Demiversary? It's pretty sweet! Each day, she releases a new video. Although, we're not sure how many videos will be released, we're content with what we've already got.
On Monday (May 12), Lovato uploaded a video of her performing "Neon Lights" on the "Neon Lights Tour."
On Tuesday (May 13), Lovato shared an unplugged version of "In Case," and it gave us chills! Watch below.
Today (May 14), Lovato premieres the official lyric video for her new single, featuring Cher Lloyd, "Really Don't Care." The concept of the video is super cute. At DL's tour stop in Brazil, they helped her film this piece of art. Fans lip sync lines to the song and get videobomed by the superstar herself.
In celebration of the Demiversary, Demi is available for on iTunes for the price of $4.99.
