Miki Miette: Oh-So-Cute Baby Line Made in LACasi Densmore-Koon
Rachel Florio-Urso is my go-to gal for all things fresh, new and well, just fabulous when it comes to baby land. I was so excited when she shared Miki Miette with me! Rachel always knows the hottest brands on the market so naturally, I feel in love with the cuteness here.
Created by Los Angeles based fashion designer and industry consultant Sawako Yamauchi she was inspired to capture all things close to her heart. Japanese baby & children's fashion and a love of European color palettes are to thank for this adorable baby line of clothing. The clothes aren't just oh-so-cute. They have a really great company philosophy — "good karma". Thru their work, Miki Miette loves to spread the sunshine by making all of our quality products with local sewing shops right in LA. How amazing is this? As a Mom, this is just the coolest and so exciting. In addition to boosting local businesses, Miki Miette also donate a percentage of profits monthly to non-profit organizations. Now that is a class act company!
I am just in love with this play set for Grayson. But they have adorable things for girls too! How precious is this romper? And it's only $22! They have the cutest little play sets too! Another favorite is the Haley Play Set for baby girls.
Check out Miki Miette — I am sure you will find a few great finds!

Fawlty Towers
Sunday, 19.30, BBC2
Much of BBC2 could go for a burton this weekend if the snooker overruns, though it's not like the scheduling for this current repeat run is making much sense in a normal weekend, and again they're all over the place. It's The Germans this week, and Comedy Review magazine correctly pointed out that the best bit doesn't involve the titular characters at all. "Wish it was an ingrowing tongue!"

I went 2-2 in my Division I and II predictions yesterday, so let's see how I can do today. I'm pretty sure everyone else has a better batting average than I do at this point, so really, if you're still tuning into these, it's for the same reason people watch Honey Boo Boo — for the sheer shamelessness of it.
Division III
No. 1 Holbrook vs. No. 1 Winslow
The pick: Winslow. Holbrook played a heck of a game to beat Tuba City in the quarterfinals, but Winslow might be on another level. Winslow has beat Holbrook twice already this season, by 31 and by 18.
No. 3 Fort Defiance Window Rock vs. No. 2 Sanders Valley
The pick: Valley. These two teams have played three times, and Valley had taken two of them. One of those was a 10-point win, but the other two games were each decided by three points. This one is as close to a toss-up as it gets, but I'll take the team I picked to win it all.
Division IV
No. 4 Joseph City vs. No. 1 Scottsdale Salt River
The pick: Salt River. Joe City has some height that Salt River can't match — namely 6-0 senior Searra Hansen and 5-10 junior Madison Fields — but no one has beat Salt River yet this season. Joy Manuel is a defensive terror, and I'll take Salt River in a close one.
No. 3 Duncan vs. No. 2 Tempe Prep
The pick: Tempe Prep. These two teams haven't played, and I don't have much of a gauge on Duncan at all, but how do you pick against the defending state champs and Camille Zimmerman, who is possibly the best player in Division IV?

"I thought tonight (Brandon Roy) played a really good game in a sense that I don't think anything was forced. (Ron) Artest is an unbelievable defender, and he did a good job of just taking the looks that were there."
"I thought we got more movement tonight. We weren't standing and ball-watching Brandon and LaMarcus when they got the ball tonight. "
--Nate McMillan, Portland coach
Brandon Roy:
"We gave ourselves some confidence tonight."
--Brandon Roy, Portland guard
Rick Adelman:
"I'm really disappointed in the way we played. I just didn't think we did the things we had to do. We don't have the patience to see what's going to be out there."

Blog to Watch: Cities on the Cheap
Travel Blog • Eva Holland • 03.17.09 | 10:27 AM ET
The site—which got its start simply as Atlanta on the Cheap—now covers the latest bargains and budget shortcuts in 30-plus locations across the U.S. and Canada. The emphasis so far seems to be on the Sunbelt, and on kid-friendly destinations (there's an entire Disney on the Cheap page), but if those aren't your bag, don't despair: Cities on the Cheap is still expanding.

There are a lot of On The Cheap sites other than just in the Sunbelt—we're running two in Hawaii (honoluluonthecheap.com and bigislandonthecheap.com). I want to add that many of the On The Cheap sites are having contests with great prizes right now because it's our big launch week. Thanks for the mention!

Thanks guys, really appreciate it.
One thing...hip fire? Is that just using the remote to aim without ads?
Grenade launchers still get me sometimes, but I've learned a bit on how to avoid.
I normally don't like to give hints on the game or my playing style, but this I don't mind. If I can help other people die less from a weapon I dislike, hopefully people 'toobing' will use something else when they find their attack less effective.
I always used to play with music in the background. Now I never do. There's all kinds of sounds in this game that when you hear them, you know what's being used where (in conjunction with your radar sometimes) and how to find the person/weapon you're looking for. Or avoid. So when you hear the click/whoosh sound of the grenade being launched, just strafe to the side. Run if you can/have time. Try not to be right against a wall. Even if you don't know who has the gun and where they are.
Like snipers, toobers typically will camp and find one crazy angle that looks in on a busy spot, like the top of the catwalk in the Facility. So even if you don't know where the person is but you hear the sound, look at your radar, and the red dot that appears might earn you a kill, not the toobin' noob.

OECD Ministerial Meeting Addresses Green Growth
28 May 2010: The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) held its Ministerial Council Meeting from 27-28 May 2010, at OECD headquarters in Paris, France, which focused on, inter alia, strategies to enable and enhance innovation, and green growth.
Discussions on innovation, based on the new report titled "The OECD Innovation Strategy: Getting a Head Start on Tomorrow," stressed that it is key to long-term growth and to effectively address global challenges such as climate change. In their conclusions, the ministers say that via strategic innovation policies, they will: empower people to innovate through education and training; induce innovation through regulatory frameworks and taxes; foster entrepreneurship; and enhance public research systems and knowledge network development.
In the discussions on green growth, accompanied by the release of the Interim Report of the Green Growth Strategy, ministers recognized that green growth is gaining support across countries as a paradigm to bring about economic growth and development while responding to environmental challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and unsustainable use of natural resources.
In their conclusions, they stress the importance of staying within the boundaries of international trade obligations. They also underline the need to reform policies that may undermine green growth efforts, such as environmentally harmful subsidies, and welcome the OECD's work on investigating phasing out fossil fuel subsidies in the medium term. Ministers further reaffirmed their commitment to reach a positive outcome at the 16th session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP 16) in Cancun, Mexico, at the end of the year.

Louisville Football: Michael Dyer Even More Jacked (PHOTO)
August 10th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
When last we saw Louisville running back Michael Dyer a summer ago, his physique seemed just about maxed out. We were wrong.
Dyer made quite an impression in the Cardinals' team photo where he was carrying an impressive pair of unconcealed firearms. Put simply, he is absolutely jacked.
BREAKING NEWS! Michael Dyer is even more jacked than he was last year. Good god. (Photo via @JD_Coffey) pic.twitter.com/zQ6CDbVIKh
— Nick Coffey (@TheCardConnect) August 9, 2014
It's been a long journey for Dyer, who is now almost four years removed from winning BCS National Championship Game offensive MVP honors with Auburn in 2011.
Dyer's had an arduous college career, but he looks ready to make his last year of eligibility count in Louisville.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples kicked off the statewide sixth annual Go Texan Restaurant Round-Up on Thursday at Big Texan Steak Ranch.
"We're here to celebrate all things Texas, and we do that when you bring together the best Texas products," Staples said. "Agriculture continues to be a major part of our state's economy. The work that's being done by farmers and ranchers is truly phenomenal."
Restaurant Round-Up, presented by Farm Credit, provides diners across Texas with the opportunity to support fresh locally-produced food and beverages by dining at Texas establishments from July 22 to 28. The five Amarillo restaurants participating in the event are: The Big Texan, Joe Daddy's, Joe Taco, La Fiesta Grande and Macaroni Joe's. Elsewhere in the Texas Panhandle, 18 other restaurants also will participate.
"We really like participating in events like these because it helps promote the farmers and ranchers we serve," said Stan Ray, chief administrative officer for Farm Credit Bank of Texas. "At the same time, we're supporting the food banks throughout the state."
More than 400 participating restaurants have pledged to donate to local food banks . These donations will help provide more than 300,000 meals to feed Texans, Staples said.
Zack Wilson, executive director of the High Plains Food Bank, said the demand for food and resources has increased locally.
"We serviced over 9,000 families in our service area and the biggest question that we always get asked by agencies is can we get more fresh produce and food," he said.
Immediately following the news conference, Big Texan co-owners Bobby and Danny Lee hosted a luncheon featuring only Texas products.

Quad-core Exynos CPU inside the S3
March 20, 2012 Samsung (Android) No Comments
Deep down inside the current Galaxy SII there's a Samsung Exynos chip. In the SII, and again you should probably stick this into the "SII Rumour File", there's a newer Exynos chip which has better battery life and quad-core processing capability.
Yes, we KNOW that the SIII is going to be fantastic. Now we just need to see the thing in the flesh.. properly.
Oh, and there's a few "iffy" adverts on the link below..

Seeing this mention of a documentary about "A Man Named Pearl" about Pearl Fryar, a self-taught topiary artist, and a modern-day Edward Scissorhands, got me thinking of the wonderful and magical visits my family and I took to several topiary gardens. Watching the trailer is inspirational, particularly the philosophy of the film, regarding overcoming obstacles. It's now on my short lists of films to see.
The most recent topiary gardens that we visited was Green Animals Topiary Gardens in Portsmouth Rhode Island, my husband's home state. We wanted to check out our sons' sister school, Portsmouth Abbey right down the road, at the time when they were attending St. Anselm's Abbey School.
Side note: here's an illustration I did as a gift and thanks to the school before our sons graduated and left St. Anselm's, a school we still strongly support.
This is the oldest topiary garden in the United States and has somewhat of a cottage style feel in comparison to Ladew Gardens, the other topiary gardens that we last visited in 1994. I think we need to go back. Here are some pictures we took — before the digital age, so I had to search and scan.
The boys, now men in my life:
I love this last picture of my now 17 year old son, Jackson. What a cutie, boy I miss those days….
There is a lot of humor and each garden radiating off the middle fountain/ field has a theme – well worth visiting again and not too far from us, just outside Baltimore, MD.

Every four years there are gold medals for feats of Olympic prowess. Every year there are gold medals for Nobel accomplishments in medicine, letters and world peace. And every other month there seem to be gold medals for achievement in television. The latest nod in that direction went to Roone Arledge, cited by the International Radio and Television Society on March 9 as its Man of the Year. Arledge, president of ABC News and Sports, is already known for bringing razzle-dazzle and special effects to the news business. After the gala at the Waldorf-Astoria, he may become known as the man who made former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon sound, respectively, clever and sincere.
The catchiest segment—co-hosted by Barbara Walters, Dan Rather and Tom Brokaw—was marked by foul-ups. Tom, Dan and Barbara blithely ad-libbed after botching their cues, but the high points of the evening were telegrams and videotaped greetings from celeb no-shows. "I regret that I could not be with you tonight due to a previous commitment to spark riots and unrest in the Middle East," Carter cabled from Israel. "He [Roone] may not always be right, but he's never dull," Nixon announced by videotape from New Jersey. Echoing a familiar theme of the evening, President Reagan chimed in with his encomium: "Roone, your contributions have been significant enough; I want you to know that I consider Sam Donaldson a small price to pay."
After Brokaw had complained that the evening "feels like it's been as long as The Winds of War," the five-hour fete ended with a typically understated network salute: a full-fledged fanfare from the West Point Cadet Band and Glee Club.
With Fanfare, the TV Industry Makes News by Celebrating the Wide World of Roone

A patent ductus arteriosus is a functioning vascular connection between the aorta and the pulmonary artery. Through this channel passes a volume of blood, its magnitude determined by the size of the ductus and the pressure differential between the two vessels. In uncomplicated cases the flow is from aorta to pulmonary artery and not vice versa; therefore, the patient is not cyanotic. It has been shown that as much as several liters of oxygenated blood per minute leak from the peripheral to the pulmonary circulation.1 This implies that a volume of blood far larger than normal is flowing through the pulmonary arteries, pulmonary capillaries, and pulmonary veins and through the left auricle, the left ventricle, and the proximal portion of the aorta. The systemic flow may be reduced to below the normal level or may be maintained by a sufficient increase in the output of the left ventricle.

Construction projects close lanes across Big Country
ABILENE, Texas - Several road work projects in and around Abilene may force drivers to find alternate routes.
In Taylor County, crews will be working on a bridge on County Road 121 or Lytle Cove Road. The portion of that road between Old Coleman Highway and Potosi will be closed.
The work begins Monday and will end Thursday.
In Shackelford County, the Texas Department of Transportation will make repairs to the U.S. 180 bridge where it joins with State Highway 351. The bridge will stay open during construction, but traffic lanes will be narrowed.
That work is expected to be finished by spring.
There are several more projects underway. Below is an excerpt of a neww release from TxDOT:
*- Various roadways: Crack sealing. This work is a moving operation, and drivers should proceed with caution when they encounter work crews on the highway.
*- I-20 frontage roads from Pine Street to Loop 322: Work continues on the outside lanes between FM 600 and SH 351.
*- Loop 322 from Lytle Creek to Maple Street: Work continues to convert frontage roads to one-way operation. Inside lanes nearest the freeway are closed. Crews continue working on culverts and retaining walls for the turnarounds at Oldham and Industrial streets, as well as building a new exit ramp for Industrial from the southbound lanes of the freeway.
*- Rainy Creek Bridge, E. US 80 east of Loop 322: Work to replace the bridge continues. Traffic is limited to one lane in each direction.
*- Reminders for Shackelford County commuters: FM 601 is closed at Hubbard Creek for a bridge replacement. Drivers should follow the posted detour.

To the Editor.
—We frequently encounter patients with thoracic, abdominal, or pelvic surgical scars who have no recollection of what procedures have been performed, or who the surgeon was. Such information is often convenient, and, occasionally, critical, to the planning of another surgical procedure. Given that the population of America is both aging and mobile, and that patients are surviving far longer postoperatively—especially after gynecologic surgery for benign or for malignant disease—we have a modest proposal on behalf of surgeons practicing in clinics, hospitals, or emergency rooms.A minute tattoo, only a dot or a bar, or a combination of these, might be placed by the operating surgeon on the sides of a patient's toes, according to a nationally agreed on designation. For instance, a dot and a bar on the medial aspect of the second right toe might indicate "total abdominal hysterectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy"; a similar tattoo without the dot might

Yes, there is a new No. 1 in The Star-Ledger Top 20.
St. Augustine, the preseason No. 2, has swapped spots with preseason No. 1 Gloucester Catholic after the Hermits made it through Week 1 without a loss while Gloucester Catholic dropped a game down in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Gloucester Catholic's loss came to St. James High of Murrells Inlet, S.C. Due to the fact yours truly is a graduate of the Palmetto State's flagship university, I luckily have some low friends in high places (or is it high friends in low places?) down there. Here are a few pertinent details on the St. James Sharks:
- They are a Class AAA team in South Carolina – so somewhere near a Group 3 school in New Jersey terms.
- They were ranked No. 9 in their class in the statewide coaches poll leading into this past week.
- They have been playing baseball (regular season games) since February 9.
- Some of their losses this season have come against: The top-ranked Class AAAA (think Group 4) team in the state, the third-ranked Class AAAA team in the state and the No. 2 Class AAA team in the state.
- They have several collegiate-caliber players, led by College of Charleston commit Anders DeShields, a left-hander/first baseman/outfielder.
So, in short, this wasn't some "the sky is falling loss" for Gloucester Catholic. It knocked them out of the top spot, yes, but a) It's April 9 and b) That's happened before, and the Rams have still found a way to get back to the top spot when it really counted. Coming into the season, there wasn't much, if anything, separating Gloucester Catholic and St. Augustine. And there still isn't. Check back next week and we'll see where we're at then.
Elsewhere in the poll:
- The toughest issue to navigate this week, by far, was what to do with Millburn and its 15-5, five-inning loss to St. Mary of Rutherford.
Ideally, we would have been able to let Monday's game against now-No. 9 Seton Hall Prep play out before we made an in or out call, but The Star-Ledger Top 20 is closed for the week after the last pitch on Sundays. Monday's results don't get taken into account until the next week's Top 20.
In the end, we dropped Millburn, which was No. 10 in the preseason, to No. 17 and just hoped things didn't blow up in our faces at Verducci Field on Monday. And while Seton Hall Prep did prevail, 5-3, the Millers looked like a Top 20 team. We'll see what the rest of the week brings for Millburn before thinking about whether it will be ranked next week.
- Preseason No. 3 Bishop Eustace fell to defending Group 1 champion Audubon on Sunday, so the Pennsauken school took a fall to No. 14. Audubon did not break into the Top 20 as a result of the victory, but the South Jersey school is on our radar.
- Another tricky one to navigate was preseason No. 11 Hunterdon Central's 12-6 loss to unranked North Hunterdon after its thrilling 5-3 comeback triumph over preseason No. 14 Watchung Hills.
In the end, we left both Hunterdon Central and Watchung Hills in, and didn't rank North Hunterdon. Don't get us wrong -- North Hunterdon had a great week, thumping Steinert by mercy rule in addition to beating Hunterdon Central. But give it another week. The Lions are on the board, bubble, cusp, whatever you want to call it. And they have a big chance Tuesday to make a(nother) statement when they take on newly-minted No. 20 Montgomery at 4 p.m. in Montgomery.
That's a game to keep an eye on. Montgomery will likely be throwing Chris Bumstead, who threw a complete game two-hit shutout against the Bridgewater-Raritan squad (keep an eye on them, too) that beat North Hunterdon in its season opener.
- Speaking of Montgomery, the Somerset County school is one of three teams to enter The Star-Ledger Top 20 this week after not appearing in the preseason poll. The other two are No. 13 Jackson and No. 19 Eastern, which ran its record to 5-0 with an upset of No. 7 Washington Township on Monday. Leaving to make room for the trio are preseason No. 13 Christian Brothers, No. 19 Red Bank Catholic and No. 20 Montclair.
Since we know many care about these things, here's a breakdown of the Top 20 teams by area:
South Jersey: 5 teams
Middlesex County: 3 teams
Bergen County: 2 teams.
Essex County: 2 teams.
Hudson County: 2 teams.
Somerset County: 2 teams.
Morris County: 1 team.
Ocean County: 1 team.
Union County: 1 team.
West Jersey: 1 team.
And here's The Star-Ledger Top 20 in full, with records through Sunday:
1-St. Augustine (2-0)
2-Gloucester Catholic (5-1)
3-Cranford (2-0)
4-Delbarton (4-0)
5-Middlesex (6-0)
6-St. Joseph (Mont.) (3-0)
7-Washington Township (3-1)
8-St. Joseph (Met.) (4-0)
9-Seton Hall Prep (4-0)
10-St. Peter's Prep (4-0)
11-Mahwah (4-0)
12-Sayreville (4-0)
13-Jackson (2-0)
14-Bishop Eustace (3-1)
15-Hunterdon Central (2-1)
16-Watchung Hills (3-1)
17-Millburn (3-1)
18-North Bergen (4-1)
19-Eastern (4-0)
20-Montgomery (4-0)
In: Eastern, Jackson and Montgomery.
Out: Christian Brothers, Montclair and Red Bank Catholic.
In the discussion: Audubon, Bergen Catholic, Christian Brothers, Monroe, North Hunterdon, Paramus, Pompton Lakes, Red Bank Catholic, Ridge, Roxbury, Scotch Plains, Union and Wall.

FRB of Atlanta Working Paper No. 2005-27
This paper develops a new and easily implementable necessary and sufficient condition for the exact identification of a Markov-switching structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model. The theorem applies to models with both linear and some nonlinear restrictions on the structural parameters. We also derive efficient MCMC algorithms to implement sign and long-run restrictions in Markov-switching SVARs. Using our methods, four well-known identification schemes are used to study whether monetary policy has changed in the euro area since the introduction of the European Monetary Union. We find that models restricted to only time-varying shock variances dominate the other models. We find a persistent post-1993 regime that is associated with low volatility of shocks to output, prices, and interest rates. Finally, the output effects of monetary policy shocks are small and uncertain across regimes and models. These results are robust to the four identification schemes studied in this paper.

Asolo Manaslu GV
Manufacturer's Description
Visit Asolo's Manaslu GV page.
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
Built for the most demanding high-altitude conditions, the Asolo Men's Manaslu GV Mountaineering Boot offers unmatched protection for your high alpine pursuits. Designed to save on weight without compromising warmth or waterproofing, this ultra-durable double boot utilizes a built-in gaiter that runs over the boot. The construction of the gaiter is composed of a highly abrasive-resistant Cordura. If that wasn't enough, Asolo reinforced the gaiter with additional Cordura and Kevlar laminates. The gaiter uses a Gore-Tex comfort footwear laminate providing breathability and protection from moisture. A shell below the gaiter provides additional warmth and protection thanks to an extra layer of Cordura and 2mm of felt. The inner boot is composed of a breathable polyester, and heated with 200g Primaloft insulation. A rigid lasting board made of carbon and fiberglass provides a stable platform when you're making your way up technical ascents, while the anatomic footbed with Manaslu felt keeps them comfortable. 400g Primaloft insulation is located below the footbed to prevent cold from coming in through the bottom of the boot. All the while, a Vibram Mulaz sole provides durability as well as excellent traction up the boot pack. The Manaslu GV is compatible with automatic crampons.

Carbon fiber midsole shanks provide lightweight rigidity and support. Droppable heel collar on the shell boot and three pull-loops make getting the liner in and out a breeze. Full-length waterproof zippers on the gaiters allow fast, easy access; hook-and-loop closure parallels zippers for complete protection and security. Gaiters are made with Gore-Tex XCR for superior protection in soggy conditions. Generous rubber randing protect boots from the harsh terrain and conditions of expeditions. Grippy elastic at the top of the gaiters ensures a comfortable fit that stays in place; secures with hook-and-loop closure. Heel and toe welts for easy attachment of rigid step-in crampons. Heel collar can be adjusted via hook-and-loop tabs to lock in above-ankle support when you need it. Inner and outer boots both have a speed lacing system that lets you quickly find the ideal fit. Outsoles feature front toe edging platforms for more nimble footwork without crampons. Primaloft polyester insulation in the inner boots protects feet from the cold of extreme altitude without adding excessive bulk or weight. Removable inner boots feature textured outsoles for improved traction on quick jaunts outside the tent and around camp. Roomy gaiters feature high-tenacity Cordura nylon reinforced with laminated Kevlar . The lightweight, all-in-one system of Asolo Manaslu GV boots offers the warmth and convenience of double-boot design, plus integrated gaiters. Vibram Mulaz rubber outsoles provide excellent traction with maximum sensitivity on even the most challenging terrain.

Phil Simms and Ken Whisenhunt (Head Coach AZ) joined Francesa this morning. Simms first.
1) Giants-Cardinals. Phil talked about the LAST game vs the Saints. He had a few interesting remarks:
a) The result of the game (paraphrased) "did not make me waver on my opinion of the Giants."
b) On why the Saints were so successful- New Orleans has learned the art of throwing to a covered receiver BEFORE he gets uncovered. Simms counted 6 plays for 150 yards where this happened, with many being big ones for TDs.
c) On why the Saints won- Greg Williams. The front 4 of the Saints DL could not get to Manning, but Williams blitzed. Otherwise this game would have been a shootout and the Giants can win that game.
d) "If I'm the Saints I keep winning to make sure I don't have to come up to NY to play the Giants in the playoffs."
2) Titans. They broke down in every phase of the game. Secondary is in a shambles, as 3 of 4 starters are injured.
3) Patriots-Bucs. Brady is much improved. People forget that this QB missed a year a chunk of preseason, so he is getting his timing back. TB's Raheem Morris is part of a very young team that was gutted. When you are that young you do not know how to win in the NFL.
4) Jets. Sanchez got a rude welcome to the elements of the Meadowlands. That is a tough place for any QB. Simms quoted Terry Bradshaw: "In order to be a really good QB in the NFL, you have to go to hell first."
5) Vikings-Steelers. Believes Pitt will win. But Phil has been alarmed by the Steelers, who are giving up (big) plays on defense they simply did not give up last year. Jared Allen has saved the Vikings on numerous occasions this season.
Ken Whisenhunt spoke about his team and the Giants team he faces this evening:
a) Goal line stand vs. the Texans gave his team confidence.
b) The Indianapolis game (W3) for the Cardinals was similar to the Saints game for the Giants.
c) The Giants are a physical group.
d) The Giants are well rounded on offense. Mentioned Mario Manningham, all the receivers have stepped up, this adds a scary element to their offense.
e) The Giants are well rounded in all three phases of the game.
f) Our AZ team lost some players and coaches (notably Haley) and the team is just now getting back that rhythm it had last year when it made that playoff run.
g) Re the loss to the Giants last season- turnovers and those kickoff returns did us in.
Ultimatenyg here. Simms' confidence in the Giants is noteworthy. The Williams remark is so stark because it was nearly identical to what the Giants saw on the other side of the ball, just that Williams planned/adjusted and Sheridan did not. You have to expect Sheridan to mix it up more vs AZ. Of course our defensive coordinator need not send 7 or 8 guys every play. Just different looks to slow down Warner and not let him get comfortable.
One last point. We noted this in the recap last Sunday but it is important to repeat. The Giants coaching staff woke the brown up and put Hixon back on kickoffs. Now all of a sudden Whisenhunt says the Giants are well rounded in all three phases. He would not have said that if Moss was still back there. KEEP HIXON there for the rest of the season. I do not care if the Giants are down to 2 WRs on the roster, Hixon makes a far greater consistent impact on kickoffs than anywhere else, so play him there and KEEP HIM THERE. With one decision, the Giants just got a lot better. Put it in cement. By the end of the season Hixon could easily be in the Pro Bowl as a special teams player if he stays healthy, despite not playing there for the first 5 games. Yes, he is that special.


text: Dear friends and colleagues, Many thanks for these interesting and varied comments. Perhaps I should clarify why I felt moved to post this link: 1. As a general rule: If I run across something interesting about Korea in a non-Koreanist outlet - eg The Atlantic - then I like to spread the word among fellow-Koreanists, lest they would miss it. Don't other people feel that way? It's called gemeinschaft. 2. While various political points might be made, actually my own reaction this time was primarily aesthetic. In a new book hot off the press*, Kate Hext and I ponder what is involved in making art of the DPRK as one form of engagement. There's a lot of this now, and it's very various. What really grabbed me was Guttenfelder's o so painterly first shot in the sequence. Those astonishing blue hues! 3. I am well aware, as I imagine are many on this list - but perhaps not all, which is why it's comradely to share - that there are now thousands of interesting images of North Korea available. Flickr alone has Kernbeisser, Ray Cunningham and many others. The latter kindly links to his own favourite photographers of the DPRK here: _https://sites.google.com/site/northkoreaobservations/home_ (https://sites.google.com/site/northkoreaobservations/home) There are books of photographs too. I count at least five coffee-table large-format picture books of North Korea. It's interesting to compare them, as I did briefly in a long working paper for the aforementioned book chapter. This section I take the liberty of appending. 4. Finally, even the world's priciest photographer has got in on the NK act. Hext and I discuss this in our chapter. See also _http://www.mattlippiatt.co.uk/Andreas%20Gursky.htm_ (http://www.mattlippiatt.co.uk/Andreas%20Gursky.htm) All in all, there really is a bit more to this topic than just 'yeah yeah, been there, done that, got the tee-shirt.'

In The Last Paradise (2003) Nicolas Righetti, a Swiss photojournalist, sets images often garish and grainy – some taken from video – alongside snippets of text and commentary (official and unofficial) printed in white on a green background. The effect is striking, if unsettling. At least two Amazon customers missed the point, complaining that the pictures are poor quality; but others defend him as "puckish." A later book on Turkmenistan – where else! – is similar in conception, but the photography appears more conventional. _[2]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn2) By contrast, the images in the British photographer Charlie Crane's Welcome to Pyongyang (2007) are crystal clear. The book itself is more ambiguous. The ubiquitous Nick Bonner is credited as "collaborator and producer," so at one level this could be read as a puff for Koryo Tours; the book begins with a "Welcome to Korea" from an official tourism guidebook. The photographs are sites on Pyongyang's tourist trail, often with a posed guide or employee whose presumed voice (not actually in quotation marks) is the sole caption or explanation. Thus Yong Ran, incongruous in hanbok in front of a large machine at the Three Revolutions Exhibition: "All the parts of this electronically controlled hydraulic excavator are made in my country." (About half way through; the book has no index, contents list or pagination.) Bonner says in his introduction: "What we present [here] is Pyongyang on its own terms." Whereas most works considered above would be anathema to the DPRK, this book no doubt must pass muster with the authorities. Fair enough; and intriguing to learn that "There are no photography exhibitions [in North Korea] for aesthetic purposes only. Photography is not regarded as an art form in its own right." But Bonner is on thinner ice in telling the would-be visitor: "There is little background reading that will help prepare you … You would be better advised to travel with an open mind." Does that mean an empty mind? Or is there a sub-text: Of course we know and they know that this is all theatre, so just relax and enjoy the show?_[3]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn3) We have come a long way from Chris Marker_[4]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn4) , half a century earlier – and not forwards. There is competition here from at least three other photo-essay books on North Korea: by Philippe Chancel,_[5]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn5) Mark Edward Harris,_[6]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn6) and Christian Kracht et al._[7]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn7) Space precludes a detailed review. Chancel's award-winning work gives a wider if still somewhat sanitised – unlike the accompanying texts – view of Pyongyang. Harris ventures outside the capital, and beyond Sunday-best appearances; he has since published a similar book on Iran. Kracht is a well-known German controversialist; his essay, accompanying photographs by Eva Munz and Lukas Nikol, depicts North Korea as a "maniacal theatric play." Who knew? The real lives of most North Koreans, far from Pyongyang, hardly make such coffee-table fodder. But plenty of images can be found online, from the everyday to the desperate._[8]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn8) Flickr alone has over 48,000 photographs of the DPRK, including the fine work of Eric Lafforgue._[9]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftn9) ____________________________________ _[1]_ (aoldb://mail/write/template.htm#_ftnref1) Guy Delisle, Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea.

Especially given the fact that "large parts of North Korea ... are off-limits." The challenge of these notions, though, is to determine where the crux of the irony is located. What plays against what else for ironic effect? For one set I would propose "sign up on a tour" versus "forbidden or inaccessible to foreigners." I have also heard it reported on good authority-- a former NASA astronaut with three space flights and continuing work with the Agency-- that in the not-too-distant future, space flights, earth orbit or eventually even the moon, will be available to anyone who can pay to go. What precisely is the point that Charles and Michael seem to wish to register? That any schmuck with a camera can take pictures of those government-approved places and those people in North Korea? I think, ironically, that Aidan made exactly that same point, only-- as Charles and Michael both noted-- they were indeed done well. David McCann On Aug 5, 2011, at 11:21 AM, Charles K.

About the Book
The seventh delightful mystery starring community college professor Bel Barret, the sleuth that the Baldwin City Ledger calls, "Evanovich's Stephanie Plum twenty–five years later."
Fifty–something community college professor and amateur sleuth Bel Barrett is at it again. When Dom Tomaselli, a student from her memoir–writing class for senior citizens, shows up dead, she agrees to investigate whether his fall from a rooftop was an accident––or murder. But with her aged mother so depressed that she can't even make her weekly trips to Atlantic City, and with her wedding to her boyfriend Sal coming up, she hardly has time for anything, let alone sleuthing. So with the help of Dom's daughter Flora, Bel determines that Dom's inveterate gambler brother–in–law, who owed him money, is the primary suspect. But could an extortion plot and a long–ago arson case also be central to the old man's demise? With the help of her best pals from the community college, Bel weaves together the different strands of one of the most baffling cases she's ever seen...and discovers that the history of her beloved Hoboken is far more sordid than she'd ever imagined.

Entertaining senior citizens, serving lunch to the homeless, picking up litter and planting bulbs in Pershing Field are just a few of the ways that you can make a difference tomorrow in Jersey City.
The activities are part of "National Make A Difference Day," which started 20 years ago.
One of the volunteer activities will be cleaning up the weed-filled, litter-strewn alleyway next to the Sixth Street Embankment, said community activist Jan Nordland.
Tomorrow they plan to finish the job.
"There were kids, adults and neighbors who all cared about volunteering for the day," said Norland.
"Any time you have neighbors helping neighbors, you build a stronger, safer and happier community," said Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy in a news release.
"There's something for everyone who wants to volunteer and it really does remind us that we all bear the responsibility of stewardship for our blocks, our cities, or our neighborhoods – where ever we consider home," he added in the release.
Begun in 1990 as a national day dedicated to helping others, Make A Difference Day is an annual event sponsored by USA Weekend Magazine on the fourth Saturday of every October.
After volunteering, participants will be provided entry forms, which they will complete and send to USA Weekend Magazine. Every April, hundreds of good deeds done on Make A Difference Day are selected for honors and charitable donations. Newman's Own provides $10,000 to the charities of each of ten selected national honorees, according to the release.

Oregon: 43,000 job vacancies this summer
About 3,700 on High Desert
SALEM, Ore. - Oregon's private employers had approximately 42,900 job vacancies during summer 2013, according to a Job Vacancy Survey recently completed by the Oregon Employment Department.
In July, there were 157,300 unemployed Oregonians, or roughly four unemployed people for each private-sector vacancy. Nationally, there were three unemployed for each vacancy in July.
The summer figure of 42,900 was the highest estimate of Oregon job vacancies since before the Great Recession. The increase reflects a variety of fair-weather job opportunities that occur during the summer and coincides with relatively strong job growth in Oregon in recent months.
Seventy percent of summer vacancies were for full-time positions, and a slightly higher share were permanent positions. Most vacancies required previous experience; in the summer this share hit 79 percent, up from 72 percent in the winter and 60 percent in the spring survey panel. Employers reported half of the summer vacancies as difficult to fill.
By occupation group, office and administrative support, personal care and service, and food preparation and serving occupations had the most vacancies in summer 2013. Six additional occupation groups had more than 2,000 vacancies estimated in the summer.
The industries with the most vacancies this summer were management, administrative and waste services (which includes company headquarters and temporary staffing agencies, among other businesses); leisure and hospitality; and health care and social assistance. The health care and social assistance industry usually dominates Oregon job vacancies and they came in third in the summer.
The survey captured vacancies in five sub-state regions: Northwest Oregon/Willamette Valley; the Portland Tri-County area; Southwestern Oregon; Central Oregon; and Eastern Oregon.
The Portland Tri-County area had 21,700 vacancies, just more than half of the statewide total – a percentage roughly equivalent to the area's share of total employment. Central Oregon's survey reported 3,753 vacancies.
About the Survey
The Employment Department has moved to a quarterly Oregon Job Vacancy Survey, replacing the annual survey that has been in place since 2008. The fall 2012 survey captured 31,200 vacancies. Following seasonal employment patterns, vacancies declined to 22,900 in the first quarterly panel in winter 2013, then surged up to 35,200 during the spring, and hit 42,900 in the summer.
The Oregon Employment Department plans to release the fourth quarter 2013 figures from the Oregon Job Vacancy Survey in early January.

I don't remember which one I used, it has been years.
I didn't find it worth it. If I was a kid again when I had loads of free time it would be. I would get a game and then get busy and not get to it for days. Then it would suck and I'd send it back and 4-5 days later I'd get another one.
I use GameFly as well, we'll see how it works.

I have recently signed up with a games rental company called WhyBuyGames (www.whybuygames.com). I wanted to get games for my new WII and since joing with them I have had no problems at all. The games come within 48-78 hrs of me choosing them and when I have called their customer services team for an update on an order they have been very helpful.
Definate one for the future.
Hi Im Dan from South Wales, I am currently using http://www.boomerangrentals.co.uk/ They come with a number of payment options from £8/month to £16/month they even offer a 3 week free trailOriginally Posted by Eat The Rich
There is no late fee just like all the other online game/DVD sites, but Boomerang's games come super fast. From the day you send the game off (When you feel like) you can expect the next game ( What evers No1 in ya list) to come in 2 days. A very good investment especially when I've just got a Wii

Paul Martin is ready to return from a broken hand. That should make the Pittsburgh Penguins happy. It should make Brooks Orpik even happier.
On Thursday night against the Winnipeg Jets, Orpik gets his defensive partner back after five weeks or so without him, and he's suffered in his absence. Martin's skating, puck-moving and positional skills help cover for Orpik, and it's reflected in their results, both together and apart.
NHL playoff picture | Masterton Trophy nominees 2014
In the 485:21 Orpik has been on the ice with Martin at even-strength, Pittsburgh has scored 52.5 percent of all goals. In Orpik's 652:21 away from Martin, largely with Robert Bortuzzo and Deryk Engelland, Pittsburgh has scored 42.9 percent of all goals (per stats.hockeyanalysis.com). That's a meaningful difference.
Martin also positively impacts Pittsburgh's even-strength puck possession when Orpik is on the ice. Pittsburgh takes 48.4 percent of all even-strength attempts when they're together, compared to 44.7 when Orpik is with someone else.
Pittsburgh will also benefit from Martin's return to the power play and penalty kill, which were ranked first overall before his injury but have suffered since. The Penguins' 5-on-5 numbers will improve when Evgeni Malkin and, potentially, Kris Letang return to the lineup, but they remain a middle-of-the-pack team in that regard and will likely need good special teams play when the postseason begins if they want to stick around all that long.
Martin, 32, has missed the last 18 games after breaking his hand during the Olympics. He'll play in the last six games.
"Part of the reason I kind of wanted to push and get some games in before the playoffs (was) to shake off some rust," Martin told the media before coach Dan Bylsma announced the decision.

Sonny Landreth
Born in Mississippi in 1951, Landreth calls himself a "native stepson" of Louisiana, where he grew up outside Lafayette, south of Interstate 10—the heart of Cajun country. Like a kid who grows up in New York dreaming of playing with the Yankees, Landreth grew up listening to zydeco kings Clifton and Cleveland Chenier—who eventually did recruit the hot young guitar player to tour with them.
But Landreth also kept in touch with his Mississippi roots, mastering slide guitar, and put rock in his soul, eventually heavy-hitting in the bands of John Hiatt, John Mayall and others. Now, on his third solo album, he has put all the influences together to create a bluestinged, Cajun-spiced rock gumbo that's as strong as the Louisiana heat.
The killer cut is the 6-minute "Congo Square," a dark jaunt built on a New Orleans funeral march beat. Congo Square, Landreth says, "was the only place in old New Orleans where the slaves were allowed to congregate freely and practice their voodoo rituals and dance." If they conjured up the kind of medicine Landreth and company do here, they went home slaves to nothing but the magic of music. (Zoo Entertainment/Praxis)

• Our purpose was to summarize Information from a large single institution's experience regarding the role of surgical resection in the management of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in children and adolescents. Fifty-eight children were treated for primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The tumors usually presented in the ileocolic region (n 54). Twenty-one children presented with intussusception. Complete surgical resection of tumor was accomplished in 32 patients, partial resection in 20, and biopsy only in 6. All patients were given lymphoma protocols employing chemotherapy and irradiation. Forty-four (76%) of 58 patients are surviving from 1 year to greater than 20 years from diagnosis. Thirty-one of 32 patients who underwent complete resection followed by protocol management are surviving, compared with 13 of 26 children with residual gross disease. The results indicate that children with primary gastrointestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma benefit from complete surgical resection when feasible.

Madrid - Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho will be banned for two matches for jabbing his finger into the eye of Barcelona's assistant coach, the Spanish football federation said on Wednesday.
Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova was banned for one match for responding to Mourinho by slapping him during a mass brawl in the final moments of Real Madrid's Super Cup loss to Barcelona on August 17, the federation said.
The two men were also fined 600 euros ($793) each, which will have to be paid by their clubs. The two clubs were fined 90 euros each for the incident.
The bad feeling between the two clubs boiled over at the end of their match at the Nou Camp, which Barcelona won 3-2, giving them a 5-4 aggregate victory and the Super Cup trophy.
As players scrapped on the field, television pictures showed Mourinho walking over to Pep Guardiola's assistant Vilanova and poking him in the eye.
The altercation came when both benches cleared onto the field following Real's Brazilian defender Marcelo's ugly challenge on Cesc Fabregas just before injury time.
Marcelo and team-mate Mesut Oezil and Barcelona striker David Villa were all subsequently shown red cards and were all handed one-game bans.
Mourinho later issued a letter apologising for his behaviour to Madrid fans but to no-one else.
"I wish to apologise to Madridistas, and only to them, for my attitude in our last game. Some people are better adapted to the hypocrisy in football than I am, and they hide their faces and speak in whispers deep inside tunnels," he said.
"I'm not learning to be a hypocrite, and I don't want to."

IRVING - The league was promoting "Thanksgiving Classics," a desperate hope that forced four teams to don goofy looking throwback uniforms. This is what one does when the traditional holiday hosts enter Thanksgiving with records of 0-9 and 2-7.
Classics? Maybe not.
But the nation was treated to two improbable comebacks by two sad sack teams, with both Detroit and Dallas ultimately falling two points short on their upset bids.
The difference? Detroit lost to Green Bay when it failed to convert its two-point try. Dallas lost to Denver, 26-24, because the Cowboys never attempted a two-point conversion.
My general feeling is that those who attack Dave Campo as an ill-equipped head coach are aiming their sights too low in targeting the Cowboys franchise's root problem. But on a specific day when it comes down to one specific and horrendous call, well
It's a bit like the bumper stickers that read: Just Because You're Paranoid Doesn't Mean Someone Isn't Following You.
In this case: Just Because Jerry Jones' Perversion of the GM Role Is the Real Trouble Doesn't Mean A Head Coach Can't Have a Really Bad Day.
This is what happened Thursday in Campo's worst hour as head coach.
Reggie Swinton's 65-yard punt return for a touchdown with 7:29 to play brought life to a Texas Stadium crowd that had pretty much settled into a nice slumber after, or for some, possibly during Creed's halftime concert.
Suddenly, it was 26-16. Suddenly, a two-point conversion could bring the Cowboys, given up for dead at 26-3 minutes earlier, within one score of tying the game.
That's why Ryan Leaf ran onto the field, holding up two fingers. That's why Campo trotted along the sideline holding up two fingers.
But somehow, while an injured Peppi Zellner was being attended to in the end zone, the offense was replaced by the kicking team. Campo had had a change of heart.
"I changed my mind after thinking about it," Campo said. "To make two two-pointers back to back, the percentages were not with us. I felt our best chance was to try to go for the win."
That became the rallying cry, echoed by offensive coordinator Jack Reilly and running back Emmitt Smith. The Cowboys, by kicking an extra point that cut the margin from 10 to nine, were "going for the win."
When you hear things like this, you realize the smartest owner in the NFL will be the one who is first to hire a math professor to stand on the sideline. Teams already have an absurd number of assistants (if Mike Shanahan's a genius, does he really need the 20 listed on Thursday's roster card?), so what's one more?
The only thing one can offer on Campo's behalf is that it is hard to make two-point conversions. It's not a 50-50 proposition, certainly not for a team as strapped as Dallas.
But what Campo was saying by kicking the extra point was that he fully believed the Cowboys could stop the Broncos twice and respond with a touchdown and field goal in the final seven minutes of the fourth quarter.
And these are the Cowboys who gained all of 76 yards in the first half, who gained all of four yards in the third quarter.
On Dallas' next possession after the Swinton touchdown, the Cowboys made one first down before punting with 3:07 to play. Somehow, they were still going to get those two scores in the final three minutes, right? That was the thinking?
"We had no choice, fourth-and-10 at the (27)-yard line," Campo said. "We still had timeouts."
Well, two of them, anyway, but on Thursday, who was counting?
And so when Leaf guided the Cowboys down the field covering 56 yards in two plays and two penalties, it was not for the potentially tying touchdown. It was for the touchdown that would get them within a field goal, but it finished with 1:10 on the clock, with the Cowboys out of timeouts.
It was for the touchdown that would cover the spread for Dallas and cover Campo in doubt. Once Denver recovered the onside kick, the game was over.
The thing that has to trouble Cowboys' fans today is that, in spite of a dreadful offensive show for three quarters, it didn't have to be that way. Even the Broncos knew it.
"I'm not really sure what their reason was for not going for two," said Denver kicker Jason Elam, who nailed four field goals. "It was 26-3 and then, boom, they got a chance to pull within a touchdown, and they didn't do it.
"That was good for us."
And it was bad, real bad for Dave Campo.

Russell Brand is returning to his roots: bachelorhood and standup comedy.
"I'm doing well," Brand, whose marriage to Katy Perry ended in December, after 14 months, tells PEOPLE.
Waxing philosophical about life, the British comedian, 36, suggests there was no reason he shouldn't be well. "You don't need to brush it off if you don't get it on you in the first place," he says, not specifically defining what "it" is.
But, he insists, "I don't have to let anything go. I don't hold on to anything negative. It's the same as zero-ness."
Asked if that's part of his yoga philosophy, Brand replies, "I like Kundalini yoga" – which heavily relies on physical and spiritual intuition.
"It's not about letting it go," he says. "You can't let go of something you don't hold, you know. It's meaningless, [and] much of our world is predicated on meaninglessness. And I don't do that anymore."
As for his upcoming late-night show, which is due later this year on FX, he says: "It's a standup comedy show, and we'll talk about current affairs and analyze and deconstruct the media of the day and approach news from a humanitarian and spiritual angle, whilst keeping it simultaneously and continuously humorous."
It will be Brand's first major foray into American TV, though he's done guest spots and hosting gigs.
Two weeks ago, Brand also made news when he was arrested in New Orleans for allegedly grabbing a photographer's iPhone and tossing it.
That, too, he says, is "meaningless to me. It's like it never happened. It's meaningless."
And reports that he's had a "Katy Perry" tattoo removed? "Nope," he says. "Never had a tattoo removed. Never happened."

Whole Foods Market announced today a recall on prepackaged mini 4 ounce salads sold in stores throughout New Jersey and New York on Monday.
The labels on the Caesar and Mesclun Goat Cheese salads were swapped and misstated certain highly-allergenic ingredients, according to an announcement on the Whole Foods website.
