Adrian Peterson's dominance in Minnesota's 34-31 win over Chicago reminded me of a conversation I once had with Baltimore Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome.
I basically asked Newsome whether he ever thought a freshman could leave college and play in the NFL. His response? He said there was only one player who ever made him consider that possibility. It was the same running back who was racing up and down the field against the Bears on Sunday.
So it should come as no surprise that Peterson, who is a long way from his days as a star at Oklahoma, has blown away the NFL so far in his rookie season. What we're witnessing is the start of what should be an extremely productive career. And please don't talk to me about this being a long season and how Peterson still has a lot to learn. The more this guy plays in the league, the harder it's going to be for teams to tackle him.
Just consider these feats Peterson accomplished Sunday:
1) Two of his three touchdowns came on runs of 65 yards or longer, which makes him just the fourth player in NFL history to do that (joining Detroit's Barry Sanders, Pittsburgh's John Fuqua and Baltimore's Lenny Moore).
2) His 361 all-purpose yards were the third-highest total produced by a rookie in NFL history.
3) His 224 rushing yards were a Vikings team record and the most ever gained against the Chicago Bears.
4) That rushing total also gave him a league-leading 607 yards on the season. Only one player -- Eric Dickerson -- has gained more yards in the first five games of his career.
But I'm talking about more than just Peterson today, although I'll leave Pats-Cowboys to John Clayton and Matt Mosley. Here are 10 other observations:
1. Devin Hester proves me wrong
I have to tip my hat to the Bears' Pro Bowl returner. I thought there was no way he would be as dangerous in his second season as he was in his first, when he scored on an NFL-record six returns. After returning a punt 89 yards for a touchdown in that loss to Minnesota, he already has three scores on returns this season (two on punts and one on a kickoff). Heck, he actually might be getting scarier with age.
The only thing I didn't get wrong with Hester was his potential impact on offense. His 81-yard touchdown catch against Minnesota was his first significant contribution on that side of the ball all season. Before then, Hester had one reception for 3 yards and two carries for 2 yards this year.
2. Brett Favre sets another record
The Green Bay Packers quarterback surely doesn't want his name in the record books for this feat -- he passed George Blanda on the NFL's all-time interceptions list in Sunday's 17-14 win over Washington -- but it definitely is fitting.
Now that Favre's two interceptions against the Redskins give him 279 for his career, I can remind readers why he's one of the top 10 quarterbacks ever but not one of the top five. Bottom line: Favre has been more careless with the football than all the elite signal-callers in NFL history (a group that, in my opinion, includes Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway, Peyton Manning and Johnny Unitas). And that's the only knock I've ever had against the guy.
3. Sean Taylor's immense talent
Since I'm talking about Favre's interceptions, I might as well give some credit to Taylor, the man who pushed Favre past Blanda on Sunday. Although his team lost, Taylor still played huge against the Packers. He had two interceptions and a forced fumble, and I'm starting to think there isn't anything this fourth-year safety can't do. He already has tied his career high with four interceptions, and he's well on his way to a second straight Pro Bowl.
In fact, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams pointed out recently that Taylor is the best safety in the league when the role the Redskins put him in is considered.
"He's very valuable to what we do," Williams said. "He negates people taking shots down the field."
Need proof? Favre got the win Sunday, but he also threw for just 188 yards.
4. Cleveland's dynamic duo
There have been so many productive receivers in the NFL this season that it's easy to miss what's happening in Cleveland, where tight end Kellen Winslow and wide receiver Braylon Edwards have made life pretty hard on opposing defenses all season.
Edwards caught three touchdown passes in Sunday's 41-31 win over Miami and has seven on the season. Meanwhile, Winslow is averaging 17.4 yards on his 29 receptions. That is a mind-boggling number for a tight end.
This duo is so good right now that only Cincinnati wide receivers Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh are more dangerous. The key for the young Browns receivers? They finally are both 100 percent healthy at the same time. Winslow missed his first two seasons with injuries (a broken leg as a rookie and a torn ACL suffered in a motorcycle crash in his second year), and Edwards tore his ACL in his rookie season in 2005.
At their current pace, Edwards will finish with 1,472 yards and Winslow will have 1,349 yards. Both totals would break Webster Slaughter's single-season team record of 1,237 receiving yards.
5. What happened to the AFC West?
A radio talk show host recently asked me who would win the AFC West. I told him he had asked me one of the toughest questions of the year. This used to be one of the strongest divisions in football. Now I'm wondering whether any of its four teams deserves a playoff spot.
Right now, I'm convinced that 8-8 can win the AFC West. I don't think the Denver Broncos can get there because they're two last-second field goals away from being 0-5 instead of 2-3. I'm not sold on the Raiders, either. They're better, but I can't see a coach as young as Lane Kiffin turning that team around in one season. That leaves Kansas City and San Diego, the two teams tied for the AFC West lead at 3-3.
The Chargers look more dangerous now that LaDainian Tomlinson is out of his slump -- he had 198 yards and four touchdowns against Oakland -- but the Chiefs beat San Diego by 14 on the road two weeks ago. So I'll take the Chiefs, and believe me, I never would've suggested that one two months ago.
6. Jared Allen on fire
Speaking of Kansas City, defensive end Allen is proving he lost nothing during his two-game suspension at the start of the season. After picking up 2½ sacks (and forcing a fumble) in a 27-20 win over Cincinnati, Allen has six sacks in four games. With numbers like that, maybe he should be punished more often. After all, he's a big factor in the improvement the Chiefs have seen in their defense.
Just as important is Allen's maturation. Even when it was apparent that Allen was facing a suspension for two drunken-driving convictions, team sources said he was starting to grow up.
7. Reggie Brown sighting
It's good to know this third-year wide receiver finally is contributing to the Philadelphia Eagles' offense.
Before the season, I was raving about his improvement, mostly because his teammates talked about how much he had grown as a route runner. But before the Eagles' 16-9 win over the New York Jets -- in which Brown caught six passes for 89 yards -- he had only eight receptions all season. Suddenly, he was starting to look like all those other young receivers who started as Eagles draft picks and eventually saw their careers fizzle out.
The most encouraging aspect of Brown's afternoon: a crucial, 13-yard catch on third-and-7 late in the fourth quarter. That play put the Eagles in position to run out the clock and reminded me that there's still hope for Brown to live up to the hype.
8. Tampa won't be denied
Even with all their injuries, I'm putting my money on the Buccaneers to make the playoffs. Why? Because they have more heart than any other team in the NFC South. The Bucs already have 10 players on injured reserve -- including running back Cadillac Williams and left tackle Luke Petitgout -- and they watched Sunday as tight end Alex Smith was carted off the field with what seemed to be a severe leg injury in their 13-10 win over Tennessee. But here's all you have to know about Tampa Bay: The team continues to fight regardless how bleak its situation appears.
If you just looked at the stats in Sunday's win, you'd think it would be impossible for the Bucs to win. The Titans won the time of possession battle (holding the ball for nearly 38 minutes) and gained more yardage (317 to 304). In the end, though, the Bucs made all the critical plays to pull out a win on a 43-yard field goal by Matt Bryant.
That resilience makes it hard for me to think another NFC South team -- even the Carolina Panthers I was so high on before quarterback Jake Delhomme was lost for the season to elbow surgery -- can keep pace with the Bucs in the second half.
9. Jags under the radar
Jacksonville easily is the best team nobody is talking about right now. At 4-1, the Jaguars have settled in behind quarterback David Garrard and are playing exactly as they have to play to win games -- with a strong rushing attack led by Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew and a sturdy defense.
In fact, the Jaguars have physically dominated their past three opponents while giving up just 39.3 rushing yards a game. So far, this team has the look of that bunch that made the playoffs in 2005.
10. Remember this name
It's time for Oakland Raiders outside linebacker Thomas Howard to gain more attention. He was a standout in his rookie season and is becoming a dominant player in his second. After returning an interception 66 yards for a touchdown in the loss to San Diego, Howard has four interceptions and two scores on the year. If he isn't playing in the Pro Bowl at season's end, something is definitely wrong.

Project Details: : I have an existing site, that has Vbulletin, and a custom script installed. They are both on the same database. It works fine for registration. The problem occurs when a user changes their password, thats when my custom script no longer allows the user to login, but on the vbulletin side of the site they are still able too. I need someone to fix this.
leads: I strongly believe it has something to do with the way vbulletin changes the password. It changes the password for itself, but it doesn't do it properly for the script.
So you need to have experience with vbulletin, and must be very good in php and mysql.

Black Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Dip
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
A dip recipe that I copied off the side of tortilla chips. Nice flavor and a bit different from other dips.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 28.34 g packagelawry's taco seasoning
- 425.24 g can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 198.44 g jar roasted red peppers, drained
- 340.19 g package light cream cheese, softened
- 14.79 ml cilantro, chopped
- 4.92-9.85 ml lime juice
- chopped tomato
- fresh cilantro
- In a food processor, combine all ingredients except the garnishes; mix thoroughly.
- Serve in a bowl garnished with tomatoes and cilantro.
- Serve with Tortilla chips and/or assorted raw vegetables.
Most Helpful
This is really good. I didn't have any black beans, so I used red beans, and it was still awesome. I served it with tortilla chips and fresh veggies for dipping. I also made a second batch and mixed it 1:1 with ranch dressing and used it as a tex-mex salad dressing. Yummy again.
I also saved this recipe...Source: from the side of a bag of "Mission brand" tortilla strips/chips.
We love this dip! I can't find lawry's taco seasoning where I live, so I use Ortega's Chipotle taco seasoning, and I love the smokiness the chipotle gives. I use low or no fat cream cheese. With all the other flavors the cream cheese brings together, I don't think we miss much from not using the full fat version. Deliciously addicting!

Hilton's Revival Boosts Blackstone
A year ago, Blackstone Group BX -0.56 % LP's real-estate group was peeling egg off its face.
Real-estate chief Jonathan Gray, once toasted as a member of Vanity Fair's "New Establishment," also seemed to have established the firm's most embarrassing deal. Blackstone's record $6 billion investment in the buyout of hotel chain Hilton Worldwide had lost 70% of its value.
How things have changed.
Blackstone's Hilton investment has turned profitable, say two people familiar with how the firm values its investments. They cite recent improvements in the economy and at Hilton, and Blackstone's move last year to convince creditors to chop $4 billion of Hilton's $20 billion of debt. The turnaround is helping Blackstone's real-estate group score gains that are expected to be a big part of the company's fourth-quarter earnings release on Thursday, these people say.
The upshot: Blackstone's real-estate investment portfolio has scored gains of about 40%, according to those who have viewed the firm's financial data.
The reversal isn't complete. Blackstone is working on restructuring $800 million of debt on a portfolio of Northern California office buildings that comes due in August.
And it isn't clear when, or if, Blackstone can successfully exit from its Hilton stake. While the market for initial public offerings is improving, the firm has yet to set plans for a taking Hilton public. A deal could be a challenge because of its sheer size.
Despite these worries, Blackstone has emerged as one of the last major Wall Street players with the financing and mettle to pursue big real-estate deals. Most of its largest rivals—such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc., GS -1.07 % Morgan Stanley, MS -0.45 % Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. and American International Group Inc. AIG -0.64 % —are either out of business or largely on the sidelines.
Blackstone's real-estate team, led by Mr. Gray, 40 years old, and London-based Chad Pike, 39, spent about $5 billion on real-estate transactions last year, far more than any other private-equity shop. Despite the bumpy deals of the past few years, the two have pushed Blackstone to play anew in the largest deals, be it the recapitalizations of bankrupt mall giant General Growth Properties Inc. GGP 0.92 % or the Extended Stay Inc. hotel chain.
Blackstone also is among a handful of bidders vying for 600 second-tier U.S. shopping centers controlled by Australia's Centro Properties, a deal valued at nearly $10 billion.
Blackstone even came full circle with some deals, buying for cheap what it once sold for top dollar. It sold Extended Stay to Lightstone Group for $8 billion in 2007; then it was part of an investor group that purchased the hotel chain out of bankruptcy for $3.9 billion last year.
Blackstone's "combination of the property-level understanding, marketplace understanding and their deep capital base makes them one of the most formidable players" remaining in the market, said John D. Lyons, chief executive of real-estate brokerage Savills LLC.
Though many associate Stephen Schwarzman's firm with corporate-buyout deals, Blackstone has been involved in real-estate since 1992, when it seized on low values in the wake of the savings and loan crisis. The credit boom brought opportunity, and plenty of risk, to Mr. Gray, who joined the firm out of college and began with small deals. Debt was cheap in 2007, and property values seemed to be inching inevitably higher.
Blackstone purchased Sam Zell's Equity Office Properties Trust in 2007 for $39 billion, a risky deal that ended up as a winner, despite the downturn, because Blackstone quickly sold roughly 60% of the portfolio to other buyers, shedding most of the portfolio's debt in the process. Still, the firm late last year had to restructure $7 billion of debt on a group of remaining Equity Office properties.
The $26 billion Hilton purchase—inked days before financial markets began to crack in 2007—was another matter. Travel slowed and hotel occupancies and revenues plunged. The Blackstone team faced the prospect of paying off $20 billion in debt, daunting at the time. The sharp decline in values raised the likelihood that Hilton was worth less than its debt.
One saving grace: The debt was long term and structured in a way that wouldn't push the company into default if it tripped typical bank conditions for that.
Early last year, when the economy was still on its back, Blackstone reached a deal with Hilton's lenders to cut the company's debt by $3.8 billion. As part of the agreement, Blackstone put more money into the deal, spending $800 million to buy back $1.8 billion of the debt, while converting the rest to preferred equity.
Now, the moves are paying off, according to the people familiar with the firm. Hilton's fortunes began to improve last summer, as occupancy and room rates jumped, and the gains have continued in recent months, these people say. At the same time, nascent economic recovery has bolstered the values of the lodging business, with shares of rivals, such as Starwood and Marriott, climbing more than 50% in the past year.

Taylor Gehrking, serial peeping tom, busted for eyeing 10-year old girl
Taylor Robert Gehrking has had a busy week.
Tuesday night, he was arrested for staring into a 10-year old girl's bedroom from his roof in Fergus Falls. Earlier in the week, he was busted for masturbating in his apartment -- with the door open for all his neighbors, including minors, to see. Now the 28-year old is being charged in Otter Tail County with felony disturbing the peace and three counts of indecent exposure.
These charges are only the latest additions to a long, twisted rap sheet for Gehrking.
Police were called to Gehrking's apartment around midnight Tuesday after a 10-year old said she saw a man peeking on her from a neighbor's roof. The girl told police that she opened a window to cool off but the window closed. When she walked over to open it again she noticed Gehrking and called police "distraught," according to the Fergus Falls Daily Journal.
Records show that Gehrking has been arrested ten times for indecent exposure in Olmsted County, which has placed a special hold on him to take him into a special care unit once his criminal charges are dealt with. Gehrking has never been convicted of his crimes due to "mental illness," according to the Journal.

The 2011 MTV Movie Awards were last night, but if you missed it, or the ones from 2010, 2009, 2008, and 2007, here's a comprehensive recap: 1. 'Twilight' won everything. 2. I asked, "who the fuck is that," a lot. 3. No one did anything sexy, interesting, or funny. See ya next year, everybody! (image source = getty and bauer griffin and flynet)read more

Spurs Star Hangs'em Up: Tim Duncan Retires - 7/11
Sunday NBA Finals Championship Game 7 Pick: Posted gameday morning. - 6/19
Thursday NBA Finals Game 6 Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers on the moneyline at -130. - 6/16
Monday: With Draymond Green out, we're not really sure how this game will play out so we're taking a pass. - 6/13
Friday Game 4 Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -2. - 6/10
Thursday: No games scheduled today. The NBA playoffs resume Friday. - 6/9
Wednesday NBA Finals Game 3 Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -1. - 6/8
Sunday Game 2 Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers +6. - 6/5
Friday: No games scheduled. - 6/3
Thursday NBA Finals Game 1 Pick: Golden St. Warriors -6. - 6/2
Tuesday/Wednesday: No games scheduled. - 5/31 through 6/1
Memorial Day: Golden State Warriors -6.5 - 5/30
Saturday: Oklahoma City Thunder -3. - 5/28
Friday: Toronto Raptors +6. - 5/27
Thursday: Golden St. Warriors -7. - 5/26
Wednesday: Cleveland Cavs -10.5. Get on this quick as we expect the line to rise throughout the day. For those who are nervous about laying points this is a great game to get down on an open ended teaser. You can knock the number down 5 points (or more) and pair it up with something else down the road. This type of wager can be found at 5Dimes. - 5/25
Tuesday: OKC +1.5. - 5/24
Monday: Toronto Raptors +6. - 5/23
Sunday: Oklahoma City Thunder +3. - 5/22
Saturday: Toronto Raptors +5.5. - 5/21
Friday: No games scheduled. - 5/20
Thursday: Tonight's Raptors/Cavs spread of -12 offers absolutely no value. Toronto is a very unpredictable team on the road that can play well and lose by a bucket or get blown out and lose by 30. When situations like this arise, it's imperative that a bettor remain patient and take a pass. We get that many feel like they "need" action, but that approach prevents you from ever having a shot of beating his game long term. If you're a guy that absolutely has to get down on games each day, we recommend scaling your bet size down to 1/10th our normal bet. That way you still have something to root for while not wrecking your precious bankroll. Hitting the ATM or redepositing into your offshore account is miserable. Be smart and play it safe, only making a move when we feel that the advantage is on OUR side! - 5/19
Wednesday: Golden State Warriors -9. - 5/18
Tuesday: We'd like to see how these teams match up prior to taking a position. We're going to pass tonight. - 5/17
Monday: Golden St. Warriors -7.5. - 5/16
Sunday: Heat/Raptors UNDER 188.5. - 5/15
Saturday: No games scheduled. - 5/14
Friday: Congrats on last night's big win! We don't have a take on today's Raptors/Heat game. It really could go either way. With no advantage to be had, we're taking a pass. Enjoy your Friday! - 5/13
Thursday: Oklahoma City Thunder +1.5. - 5/12
Wednesday: Miami Heat/Toronto Raptors OVER 188.5 points. - 5/11
Tuesday: Rough beat last night with Portland blowing a fat lead and Curry catching fire. We think tonigt's OKC/S.A. line is right on and there is no value to be had, so we're stuck with having to take a pass. There's never any need to force the action! - 5/10
Monday Game 4: Portland Trailblazers +4.5. - 5/9
Sunday: Atlanta Hawks +5. - 5/8
Saturday: Portland Trailblazers +3.5. - 5/7
Friday: Spurs/Thunder UNDER 200.5 - 5/6
Thursday: Toronto Raptors -4.5. - 5/5
Wednesday NBA Playoffs Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers -7.5. - 5/4
Western Conference Semifinals Game 2: Portland Trailblazers +9.5. - 5/3
Monday Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 1: Cleveland Cavaliers -7. - 5/2
Sunday: Miami Heat -6. - 5/1
Saturday: San Antonio Spurs -6.5. - 4/30
Friday: Portland Trailblazers -10.5. - 4/29
Thursday: Atlanta Hawks -2. - 4/28
Wednesday: Houston Rockets +9. - 4/27
Tuesday: With the Pacers/Raptors series including games where each team whooped the other on the opponents home court, the series has proven to be very difficult to predict. When situations like this arise, it's always best to take a step back and either make a lunch money bet or PASS. We don't have an opinion on this game. We feel that the Boston/Atlanta spread is right on. No value here so we're taking a pass. - 4/26
Monday: Charlotte Horners -2. - 4/25
Sunday: Houston Rockets +9. - 4/24
Saturday: Blazers +1. - 4/23
Friday: Detroit Pistons +4. - 4/22
Thursday Game 3: Oklahoma City Thunder -8.5. - 4/21
Wednesday Game 2: Detroit Pistons +10. - 4/20
Tuesday: Atlanta Hawks -6.5. - 4/19
Monday: Toronto Raptors -7.5. - 4/18
Sunday: Los Angeles Clippers -8.5. - 4/17
Saturday NBA Playoffs: Atlanta Hawks -5.5. - 4/16
Thursday/Friday: Off Days. - 4/14 and 4/15
Wednesday: Detroit Pistons +1.5. - 4/13
Tuesday: Memphis Grizzlies +7.5. - 4/12
Monday: Milwaukee Bucks +4. - 4/11
Sunday: San Antonio Spurs -5. - 4/10
Saturday: Sacramento Kings +7. - 4/9
Friday: Philadelphia 76ers +2. - 4/8
Thursday: Golden State Warriors -7. - 4/7
Wednesday: Indiana Pacers -3. - 4/6
Tuesday: Chicago Bulls -3. - 4/5
Monday: No games scheduled. Be sure to check out our College Hoops championship pick for tonight. We feel really strong about it! - 4/4
Sunday: New Orleans Pelicans +2.5. - 4/3
Saturday: San Antonio Spurs -11.5. We project S.A. to win by 16-20 tonight. - 4/2
Friday: Great value today with the Detroit Pistons. Dallas has been in 6 different cities in the last 9 nights. This much travel and hotel action this late in the season is a perfect spot for a streamroller. Meanwhile, the Pistons have been at home for the last 16 days. The Pistons have beaten Dallas by 6 and 13 in their last 2 matchups. Both of these games were AT Dallas, making this even more interesting. Lastly and surprisingly, the public are siding with the Mavs at a 57% clip. The line is holding strong at -5.5 letting us know the bookmaker is very happy with his position of the Pistons at -5.5. We like the Pistons to win and cover with a projected final score margin of 12+.
Thursday, March 31st: Indiana Pacers -7. - 3/31
Wednesday: Atlanta Hawks -1. - 3/30
Tuesday: Detroit Pistons +3.5. - 3/29
Monday: Dallas Mavericks/Denver Nuggets OVER 212 points scored. - 3/28
Sunday: As of 10:15AM EST, 4 out of 5 of today's games don't have lines available. With it being a holiday and all, we don't have time to wait around so we're going to pass today. Happy Easter to all who celebrate it! - 3/27
Saturday: We scoured tonight's card from top to bottom and were close to making cases for Phoenix, Philly and Brooklyn but found too many inconsistent variables that knocked us off those plays. The best thing to do when you're unsure about something is take a pass. There's always another game! See you tomorrow! - 3/26
Friday: Tough break yesterday with Paul George going down in the 3rd quarter and missing the last 20 minutes of the game. Today we like the Atlanta Hawks (-9) to crush the Milwaukee Bucks. We forecast the Bucks to score in the mid to low nineties with the Hawks scoring 105+. - 3/25
Thursday: Congrats on yesterday's win! I wish they could all be that easy! Today we like the Indiana Pacers at -13. Historically, they've beaten up the Pelicans. Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson have both been ruled out. Where will the Pelicans offense come from? We believe this line should be closer to -18 We absolutely hate playing favorites in the NBA, especially double digit favs. This play screams value though so we're happy to grab what we believe will be 5+ points of value here. - 3/24
Wednesday: I'm kind of surprised that the Lakers won last night. We loved the play but with the "tank for a top draft pick" in play, we passed on it. Maybe their goal is to play decent at home to keep butts in the seats and then tank road games. Wouldn't surprise us a bit. Today we like the Phoenix Suns at -5. The Suns strength's play right into LA's weakness plus we get the tank factor which I truly believe in! Suns by 15+! - 3/23
Tuesday: Brooklyn Nets +6. Charlotte is coming off of a big emotional win after beating the Spurs at home last night and then had to travel to Charlotte for a game the next day. The Nets have had a couple days off and should be fresh. The last 3 meetings between these teams have been really close. Charlotte may very well win, but we don't think they cover the 6. We like the Nets at +6. The Lakers were the best play on the board tonight but we had to pass there due to not knowing whether this team will tank with hopes of getting the number 1 draft pick in the 2016 NBA draft. - 3/22
Monday: Atlanta Hawks -6.5. - 3/21
Sunday: Tough break last night with a nasty half point loss. Today we like the Utah Jazz getting a point at Milwaukee. - 3/20
Saturday: Indiana Pacers +3.5. - 3/19
Friday: Phoenix Suns +4. - 3/18
Thursday: Phoenix Suns +9. - 3/17
Wednesday: New Orleans Pelicans +4. - 3/16
Tuesday: Denver Nuggets +3. - 3/15
Monday: Portland Trailblazers +7.5. - 3/14
Sunday: Milwaukee Bucks -1.5. - 3/13
Saturday: Washington Wizards +1. - 3/12
Friday: Houston Rockets +5.5. This spread is likely to drop as tipoff gets closer so get it fast if you're going to bet it. - 3/11
Thursday: Atlanta Hawks +4. - 3/10
Wednesday: Philadelphia 76ers +10. - 3/9
Tuesday: What a brutal game last night with Charlotte who were up 17 points two different times in the game, only to get lazy and piss away their lead both times. You can't have a conscience when partaking in sports betting. For every ugly game/bad beat, there's a game where you hit a shot at the buzzer or get that freak foul with 0.6 seconds left to win your bet. So back on our horse we go! Good luck today! Today we like the Los Angeles Lakers at +2.5. - 3/8
Monday: Charlotte Hornets -9. - 3/7
Sunday: Philadelphia 76ers +14.5. - 3/6
Saturday: Indiana Pacers +2.5. - 3/5
Friday: Brooklyn Nets +5.5. - 3/4
Thursday: New Orleans Pelicans +9. - 3/3
Wednesday: L.A. Clippers -1.5. - 3/2
Tuesday: Brooklyn Nets +1.5. - 3/1
Monday: Denver Nuggets +1.5. - 2/29
Sunday: Portland Trailblazers +4.5. - 2/28
Saturday: Miami Heat +5.5. - 2/27
Friday: Toronto Raptors +1.5. - 2/26
Thursday: Brooklyn Nets -1. - 2/25
Wednesday: New York Knicks +7. - 2/24
Tuesday: Philadelphia 76ers +5.5. - 2/23
Monday: Los Angeles Lakers/Milwaukee Bucks OVER 210 points scored. - 2/22
Sunday: Philadelphia 76ers +10. - 2/21
Saturday: Los Angeles Clippers +3.5. - 2/20
Friday: Philadelphia 76ers +8.5. - 2/19
Thursday: With potential trades today, players returning from injury and players coming off a break, there are lots of uncertain variables so we're taking a pass today. - 2/18
Thursday: Milwaukee Bucks -1.5. - 2/11
Wednesday: Philadelphia 76ers +5. - 2/10
Tuesday: Milwaukee Bucks +4. - 2/9
Monday: Sacramento Kings -12 and Nets +2. - 2/8
Sunday: Passing. - 2/7
Saturday: Phoenix Suns +5.5. - 2/6
Friday: Brooklyn Nets +5.5 and Denver Nuggets -2. - 2/5
Thursday's Top Play: Portland Trailblazers at a pick'em. - 2/4
Wednesday: Miami Heat +3.5, Detroit Pistons +4, Brooklyn Nets +6.5. - 2/3
Tuesday: Miami Heat +4. - 2/2
Monday: Brooklyn Nets +7.5. This is a great spot to throw 10% of whatever you're betting on the moneyline at +260 as well! Could happen! - 2/1
Sunday: We can't find any clear edges so we're going to take a pass today. We kind of liked Minnesota but they don't have a very good history at the Moda Center and we've heard that Karl Anthony Towns may be sick. No reason to force the action so we're going to take a pass. For those who aren't aware, our college hoops picks are hitting well over 60%. Start following if you're not already! Good luck today! - 1/31
Saturday: Memphis Grizzlies -3.5. - 1/30
Friday: Phoenix Suns +8.5. - 1/29
Thursday: Indiana Pacers -3. - 1/28
Wednesday: Minnesota T-Wolves +7. - 1/27
Tuesday: Brooklyn Nets +4.5. - 1/26
Monday: Denver Nuggets +4.5. - 1/25
Sunday: Passing. - 1/24
Saturday: New York Knicks -1. - 1/23
Friday: Toronto Raptors -10.5, Milwaukee Bucks/Houston Rockets OVER 207.5, OKC Thunder/Dallas Mavericks OVER 206.5. - 1/22
Thursday: Denver Nuggets +2 and Atlanta Hawks +1. - 1/21
Wednesday: Philadelphia 76ers +7.5. - 1/20
Tuesday: Milwaukee Bucks +4.5. - 1/19
Monday: Philadelphia 76ers +9.5, Portland Trailblazers +4.5, Boston Celtics -1.5, Houston Rockets +5, Atlanta Hawks -7.5. - 1/18
Sunday: BRUTAL loss yesterday with John Wall missing a game tying layup at the buzzer. We're passing today as we can't find any value on today's card. - 1/17
Saturday: Washington Wizards +1. Lots to like here... The Celtics are playing their 4th game in 5 nights and 7th game in the last 10 days. That's pretty brutal and fatigue may play a factor here. The Wiz are heating up with wins in 4 of their last 5 games and are shooting 48% from the field during that stretch. Washington has won 3 of the last 4 at home in this matchup and should have some nice motivation here as the Celtics have blown them out in their last 2 meetings. - 1/16
Friday: Houston Rockets +1. - 1/15
Thursday: Sacramento Kings/Utah Jazz UNDER 200.5 points. - 1/14
Wednesday: Denver Nuggets +9.5. - 1/13
Tuesday: Dallas Mavericks +5.5. - 1/12
Monday: Brooklyn Nets +14.5. - 1/11
Sunday: Milwaukee Bucks/New York Knicks OVER 198 points. - 1/10
Saturday: Washington Wizards +2.5. - 1/9
Friday: Washington Wizards +2. - 1/8
Thursday: Philadelphia 76ers +9. Those who play with multiple sportsbooks should check this line at all their books because we've seen it at +9.5 at a few places. - 1/7
Wednesday: BRUTAL loss last night as our under play did so by 18 points at the end of regulation but went into OT. We were still in good shape at the end of overtime, but got scorched by another tie which put the game into double OT. Sick! Today we like the New Orleans Pelicans at -5.5. Better luck to us today! - 1/6
Tuesday NBA Pick: Sacramento Kings/Dallas Mavericks UNDER 214 points. - 1/5
Monday: San Antonio Spurs/Milwaukee Bucks OVER 192 points. - 1/4
Sunday: Passing. - 1/3
Saturday: Milwaukee Bucks +1.5. - 1/2

The transition in Myanmar that began two years ago — from a military to a quasi-civilian government — is the largest and most encouraging turnaround in the developing world in years.
Much credit goes to President Thein Sein and opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi for deciding to collaborate in seeking to overcome three huge obstacles to progress in this impoverished and tragedy-prone country: ending the civil war that has been waged since independence, providing a policy and institutional framework that will enable the standard of living to rise rapidly, and exploiting the country's abundant natural resources in a manner that benefits the whole population.
Responding to the unanticipated and remarkable changes taking place, the World Bank, USAID, and more than 100 other official aid agencies and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have flocked to Myanmar to help make the transition a success.
The rush of aid donors to Myanmar is not entirely positive. In the past twenty years, other countries have been "smothered by love." So far, Myanmar's aid donors have acknowledged these problems in the past and have committed themselves to adhere to the principles laid out in 2005 in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, as well as the updates in Accra (2008) and Busan (2011).
The Myanmar government has also taken note of the problems elsewhere. At an all-donor meeting in January 2013, it got the donors to agree to a set of ground rules to enhance aid effectiveness.
Despite tho se encouraging steps, the makeup of the aid community is likely to produce behavior inconsistent with the Paris principles — thus further complicating Myanmar's effort to escape its legacy of conflict and stagnation. Donor assistance to Myanmar can do more harm than good in at least four ways:
In our assessment of foreign aid to Myanmar, we have pointed to three steps donors can take to make their aid more effective:

A few weeks ago Kayla got up early to mow our yard. Once she finished, she parked the mower in the shed and didn't realize it wasn't pulled in all the way. By the time she realized it was rolling toward her, it was too late. It snapped her femur right in two!
It is amazing to me how God was watching out for us!
I heard Kayla outside screaming right after her accident. She had just prayed someone would hear her and around that same time I turned off my noise maker.
My husband was at work, but my parents were able to come right over. Seeing Kayla in so much pain had us all in tears. We were getting ready to try loading her in the car when our next door neighbor got home. He's a former paramedic and knew that moving her with a broken femur could sever an artery. What a blessing he came when he did!
We found out later that our neighbor has been struggling in his faith and he feels like God used Kayla's accident to bring him back to God. When he came over Kayla was screaming and hyperventilating and as he talked to her she calmed down and listened to him. He felt like God was saying, "I want you to trust Me, just like Kayla is trusting you."
"We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him." Romans 8:28
Our son, Matt, got engaged!!!
We have been praying for his future wife since he was tiny and God answered our prayers by bringing Jerusha into his life. She is a true gem, beautiful inside and out, and her love for Jesus is evident to all around her. She fits into our family so perfectly. We absolutely love her.
I am so happy that my sister in law was there to capture this special moment! You can see more of her incredible work here.
I will be back soon to tell you about our time in Nicaragua :)
She has fallen in love with the children at Taellor's House and isn't sure how she is ever going to leave them. We are missing her so much but we have settled into a new normal. Thankfully we get to talk to her frequently! Later this month, my hubby and I are going on a mission trip to Nicaragua and will get to work alongside her. I am counting down the days until I get to see her sweet smiling face again!
One of Brittany's dear friends, Ally, generously offered to do a photoshoot of our family before Brittany left for Nicaragua. This girl is one talented photographer and we enjoyed our time with her so much. Her thoughtfulness meant so much and I am super grateful I have these photos. I will treasure them forever. You can check out more of her beautiful work here.
we got the best phone call! It was our adoption agency calling to tell us we had a baby girl in South Korea! They emailed this picture to us and I stared at it everyday, praying for her and longing for the day when I would get to see her face to face.
I'm so grateful for this little girl. She is my precious gift from heaven.

|Solution for the xslt processing (=Patch)
|Mon, 05 Nov 2001 15:11:59 GMT
Problem: When xslt transforming (Xalan) the serializer gets the sax events AFTER the whole processing took place. Solution: org.apache.cocoon.components.xslt.XSLTProcessorImpl Line 261: + tfactory.setAttribute("http://xml.apache.org/xalan/features/incremental", Boolean.TRUE); Found in the distribution of Xalan: xalan-j_2_2_D11\docs\dtm.html The question is if this could be turned to true generally. If the parser is not Xerces it seems that an additional thread is used. Here's the comment from that page: "When set to true: If the parser is Xerces, we perform an incremental transform on a single thread using the Xerces "parse on demand" feature. If the parser is not Xerces, we run the transform in one thread and the parse in another. Exception: if the parser is not Xerces and the XML source is a DOMSource, setting this feature to true has no effect."
