Caring for the Human Spirit by Way of Hooves and Horns
In my role, I have the great opportunity to speak with the hardworking and truly inspiring leaders who serve as hotel general managers around the world. Their approaches to guest service and team comraderie are always inspiring.
Steve Dewire, general manager of Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa, recently shared the reasons he feels the hotel's cast of fun-loving animals take the hotel's service to a new level. Here are a few words from Steve:
Percheron draft horses Julius and Caesar, co-founders of the "Hooves and Horns" mascot program at Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa, came to the property with the hotel's opening in 2006 with their owners Randy and Paula Greenfield (who now serve at Coconut Point with their Newfoundlands Hoss and Honey).
Since then, the resort's roster of animal friends has grown to include two Texas longhorns (T-Bone and Ribeye), two more Percheron draft horses (King, Lady), to keep Julius and Caesar company, one American mustang (Blackjack), two miniature horses (Patch and Feather), two miniature donkeys (Captain and Scarlett) and two alpacas (Yogi and Boo Boo). This merry cast of characters woos and wows our hotel guests of all ages! Travelers visiting on business or leisure can't resist a meet and greet, photo op, joy ride in our rustic red wagon or just a friendly pet as they pass by.
While we at Lost Pines enjoy the freedom to walk on the wild side with these animals, what always remains first and foremost is our commitment to authentic hospitality and caring for the human spirit. Our four-legged associates simply make it possible for us to do this on a completely different level. These animals touch the lives of our guests and associates alike, serving as inspiration for children's drawings and warming the hearts of onlookers and passers-by. Furthermore, their impact extends well beyond the Lost Pines Corral and our 405 acres, as they also take part in community events and parades around Bastrop County and the Lost Pines Region.
Although the idea of authentic hospitality makes no sense to our colleagues with hooves and horns, it's undeniable how brilliant these mascots are at creating one-of-a-kind experiences for all – experiences that make everyone feel more than welcome and that give way to memories that last a lifetime.

Mido wasted a second-half penalty on his competitive debut as Zamalek threw away their lead to suffer a late 2-1 home victory to Petrojet in the Egyptian Premier League on Thursday.
عثمان أحمد عثمان|
20 أغسطس 2009
Playmaker Shikabala scored his second goal in as many league games to hand Zamalek the lead in the first minute but Al-Sayed Hamdi pulled one back 12 minutes after the restart
Mido, who joined from Middlesbrough on a season-long loan, came on as a second-half substitute to partner Amr Zaki upfront and play his first league game.
He had a chance to make it a night to remember but his poor spot kick missed the target.
Zamalek even failed to share honors with Petrojet when substitute Walid Soliman headed home one minute from time after some slack marking.
Petrojet became the second team to get maximum points from the opening two games after holders Ahli, who defeated Police Union 2-1 on Wednesday.
A new-look Zamalek side, who put in an impressive display to beat ENPPI 3-1 in their first match as they seek to win their first league title since 2004, have three points from two games.
Wasted Penalty
Shikabala needed 33 seconds to fire the hosts in front to send the home fans into ecstasy.
Zaki's weak shot rebounded off keeper Ahmed Fawzi's forehead and fell to the in-form playmaker, who notched into an empty net.
Petrojet had the better chances afterwards as Zamalek lacked composure in the final third, with Zaki failing to combine with his strike partner Ahmed Gaafar.
The Cairo giants had to thank goalkeeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef for keeping their lead intact in the first half.
The stand-in guardian, who played instead of the injured Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed, blocked a goal-bound shot from Hamdi and dived to save a long-range effort from Eric Bekoe.
However, he couldn't prevent Hamdi, who scored twice in Petrojet's 3-1 victory over Ittihad in their league opener, from grabbing the equalizer in the 57th minute.
The Egypt striker, with his back to goal, turned his marker Mahmoud Fathallah and hit a low shot into the bottom corner.
Zamalek coach Michel Decastel introduced Mido instead of the ineffective Gaafar on 63 minutes.
The towering striker had a chance to make a dream debut when his close-range shot struck Karim Zekri's arm as Zamalek were awarded a penalty.
He stepped up but sent his low shot wide of the post before shaking his head in disbelief.
Zamalek paid for the wasted penalty when Soliman rose unmarked to head home a corner at the near post.

Meet Eddie? Not at the Tuesday premiere of Eddie Murphy's new sci-fi comedy Meet Dave in L.A., where the star was a surprising no-show.
"He's not here because he's doing a movie and shooting – he goes back-to-back-to-back," producer David T. Friendly told PEOPLE on the premiere's red carpet. "Eddie, he'll never admit it, but he loves to work. And I think work keeps him happy."
Murphy, 47, is shooting the film A Thousand Words, Access Hollywood reports.
He has kept a low profile since his sudden split from Tracey Edmonds last
winter, and recently he talked about retiring from acting. But his Meet Dave costar Gabrielle Union says the father of seven is "at peace."
"He's a really cool guy," says Union. "His kids were always on set. He's just really cool and at peace with himself."
–Nicholas White

Performed beyond expectations
By Busybody51
from Florida, USA
Comments about Sony 7.2 Ch 4K Wi-Fi Network A/V Receiver:
Bought this after my old Sony AV unit developed a serious channel problem. Researched for weeks before deciding to purchase this one. The 850 DN unit meets my power needs in my sitting room and promised plenty of new functionality. I appreciated the simplicity of the setup and installation except one and only point, the unlocking of my internet music streaming accounts. Beyond that the acoustic auto setup worked well. The Bluetooth, USB and media steaming functionality surpassed my tech savvy kid's expectations. We frequently play videos, picture slide shows and music that way. I use a hard wired LAN connection but did try wireless without any issues. After six months of use, I am still very pleased with the unit and have no observations to the contrary to report.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent Audio Video receiver (AVR)
By Machone
from Undisclosed
I have been using Sony AVR since 2001 and I have always been satisfied with the performance. I upgraded from STR - DE697 and my speakers have never sounded better. The sound quality is awesome and there is enough power to "make some noise". The setup was super easy and the graphical user interface (GUI) is the best I have seen. I have not had any of the HDMI issues (knock wood) that I have read about in other reviews. This is excellent value and I would recommend to every one.
Great 7.2 ch WiFi Network Receiver
By Frank1961
from Liverpool, NY
I put together with new 65" Ultra HD Sony TV and Sony smart 3D WiFi Blue Ray player and I must say it is an awesome combination. The receiver has wonderful power, and video and sound are incredible.Versatile and easy to use.
nice unit for the price but lacking features
By wingrider
from pittsburgh pa
i had this unit for about a week now set up was easy but conecting it to the internet took some time by the time sony got back to me i had figured it out my self the unit is very nice and i like the idea that i onlyone remote the sound it great but for the price i am not happy with this unit i ordered this unit to get spotily music srevice which sony said it would get but i found out it doesnt sony was to call me back about this problem but hasnt as of yet the only music service that this unit gets is pandora thats it i am very unhappy with sony for making a system that dosnt have the features of a lower priced unit
Great Receiver
By j

About Me Movie Enthusiast
Best Uses
Purchased this unit to replace an older model that finally gave out but got my moneys worth from the old unit. Very easy to set up using the on screen menu. Connected right away to both my ipad and pc. sound quality is very good, movies also sound great. I only use Sony products for my home theater so I knew this would be a good addition.

Love the unit but having lots of issues
By LaurieL
from 85710
The unit itself is great and has many features but I'm continuing to have problems with the USB connection, internet music, and Bluetooth. It's been returned for service once already with parts replaced and now it's not functioning again. Last time it was sent away for service we were without the unit for over 3 weeks. Now we'll be without it again for several weeks. Very frustrating that something so new has so many problems.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Love the Receiver - Hate the Manual
By LaidBackBruce
from Tucson, AZ, USA
The quick setup was easy and the sound is great! But, sheesh, I think it would be a good idea to not have to go onto the internet to find the manual. And even better, have something in writing to help you troubleshoot the "Code Not Valid" when you go to register for the add-ons like Pandora. That said, the good techie at the support number got me sorted out, so a tip of my hat and a gold star to him.
The reciever is good , The remote control, no book
By jfke
from 65059
The remote has no book , When you ask a question , they ask you , Can you be more specific , Like they can not speak English. I wanted to use it for pandora , over wifi , over my speaker system , you need a tv hooked up , or you will be guessing where pandora or where the internet setting is .. Took me a week to figure it out , sony on there site was no help .
Bad decision again
By ovel5
from 70068
Had a Sony receiver years ago that had lots of problems with HDMI output and power protection mode, After purchasing an 4K TV Had to upgrade from Onkyo receiver that never gave me any problems and decided to give Sony another try. It turns itself on and off while watching a movie or changes input by itself, only had it for 4 months,called about warranty and was told that I had to pay to ship it to New York for repairs. What a waste of $500.00
STRDN850 Sony 7.2 receiver
By AlVal
from Centreville, VA 20120, USA
Excellent user interface and feature set. Sound effects work well, bindings posts are a good feature, runs cool - need that for cabinet installation, internet and smartphone features are outstadning. Only negative is the advertised "HD Radio". I haven't found it, but the TuneIn app is arguably better. Oh, and the microphone setup is a pleasant surprise.

Rotary District Governor makes stop in Crowley
By Shantelle Breaux
CROWLEY – At Tuesday's meeting of the Crowley Rotary Club, District Governor Mike Collins was the guest speaker.
Collins commended the Crowley club for all of the projects they do in the community, such as Rebuilding Together and the Community Outreach Corporation with Faith House, and getting young people involved in the projects.
Collins professed admiration for the large number of projects done with only a moderate number of members. "Sixty-seven members; it's incredible what ya'll are doing here."
"Overall, I'd have to rate this club as an excellent club," he said.
He also spoke about the new theme of this year's Rotary Club, which is "Make Dreams Real."
This years, stated Collins, "we're focusing on our youth.
He named some ways club members can help with this new focus, such as what he called Annual Giving, or asking Rotarians to give $100 per year, which will be used in programs helping the youth in this country and all around the world. Another way of helping is through increasing membership, stated Collins. He complimented the Crowley club, whose membership has stayed steady throughout the past five years, for being a proactive club
He encouraged the club members to attend the District Conference, and urged them to participate in all the "great things" happening this year.

We're a quarter of the way through the 2012 NFL season, and there have been many surprises already. Who have been the biggest studs? The biggest flame-outs? And where does it all go from here?
We asked our team of NFL analysts to take stock of the first quarter of the season and give their thoughts in several key categories. Here are the results.
MVP, offense
Pete Prisco: Matt Ryan, QB, Falcons. He has 11 TDs and two interceptions. He is why the Falcons are 4-0.
Clark Judge: Ryan. He's the top-rated quarterback on an undefeated team. Without Ryan, the Falcons are toast.
Mike Freeman: Matt Schaub, QB, Texans. Loses a quarter of an ear and is still playing the position well.
Jason La Canfora: Ryan. Dude has led comebacks, showed toughness when battered around and has been pretty flawless.
Will Brinson: Ryan. There's no clear-cut leader for the MVP award just four weeks in but Ryan is close. He's completing 69.4 percent of his passes and is averaging 7.9 yards per attempt. If you want to talk about a guy stepping up to the next level, it's Ryan right now. The Falcons being 4-0 doesn't hurt.
Josh Katzowitz: Kevin Kolb, QB, Cardinals. This feels like a ridiculous pick, and I can't imagine making the same selection after Week 17. But he replaced John Skelton in Week 1, led his team to a win and then fired off three more victories to bring his team to 4-0 while playing the best football of his career.
Ryan Wilson: Ryan. Hardly an original pick but Ryan finally seems to be living up to his first-round hype. The Falcons are the early favorites to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
Kevin Corke: Ryan. As compelling to watch as any player in the NFL right now. Heart, poise and talent. Huge, huge year awaits.

MVP, defense
Pete Prisco: J.J. Watt, DE, Texans. He has 7½ sacks and has been a force.
Clark Judge: Watt. He can do just about everything -- sack the quarterback, bat down passes and tackle anyone with the ball. Houston last year survived the loss of its starting quarterback because of its defense, and there's no one better than this guy.
Mike Freeman: Watt. Dominating offensive lines.
Jason La Canfora: Watt. What doesn't he do? He has been the best player for the league's best D.
Will Brinson: Watt. Watt's leading the lead in sacks, he's swatting balls left and right and he's helping the Texans laugh off the loss of Mario Williams as they start 4-0 this season.
Josh Katzowitz: Watt. He has become the scariest defender in the league, racking up an NFL-best 7½ sacks, five passes defensed and two recovered fumbles. On a team filled with young, talented players, Watt stands out.
Ryan Wilson: Watt. The 2011 first-round pick has 7½ sacks on the NFL's best defense, and we would like to point out that we projected him as the 2011 rookie of the year.
Kevin Corke: Watt. People love to talk about his motor out on the field. I like his maturity level. Rare combination of talent and maturity on the field for a player of his experience level.
Rookie who has your attention
Pete Prisco: Alfred Morris, RB, Redskins. He is fifth in the league in rushing as a sixth-round pick.
Clark Judge: Robert Griffin III, QB, Redskins. He can run. He can pass. He can win. So what can't he do? Last the season if he continues to take crushing hits.
Mike Freeman: Griffin. Easy choice.
Jason La Canfora: Bruce Irvin, DE, Seahawks. Great speed and natural pass-rushing ability. Could be the steal of the draft.
Will Brinson: Chandler Jones, DE, Patriots. The quarterbacks get all the headlines, but this class (RG3, Luck aside) has been relatively underwhelming. I love what Jones adds to the Patriots defense, and he already has three sacks and two forced fumbles, just four games into the season.
Josh Katzowitz: Greg Zuerlein, K, Rams. RG3 and Andrew Luck, of course, are under the microscope for every series they lead, but nobody has grabbed my imagination like the Rams' rookie kicker. He's 12 for 12 this season with kicks of 60 and 58 yards. At this point, I expected him to make 48 of 48 on the year with a long of 73.
Ryan Wilson: Griffin. It's an obvious choice, yes, but for the first time in a long, long time the Redskins have a franchise quarterback. That's worth celebrating.
Kevin Corke: Griffin. RG III Won't look like it every week, but will get better faster than any rookie playing the position.
Most disappointing player
Pete Prisco: Mario Williams, DE, Bills. Where has he been?
Clark Judge: Matt Cassel, QB, Chiefs. He has as many interceptions (7) through four games as he did in 2010 when the Chiefs won the AFC West, and the Chiefs already have more turnovers (15) than that season.
Mike Freeman: Williams. Totally invisible.
Jason La Canfora: Jay Cutler, QB, Bears. Pouty, whiny, not getting anything going with Brandon Marshall, still getting sacked all over the place.
Will Brinson: Chris Johnson, RB, Titans. Hundred-yard game last week or not, I don't see how it could possibly be anyone else given the way he played through the first three games.
Josh Katzowitz: Johnson. I thought we were passed all of this with him. I thought, after a disappointing 2011, he would come into this season ready to return as one of the league's best running backs. He hasn't. In fact, aside from Week 4, he has been worse.
Ryan Wilson: Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Bills. This was supposed to be the year that the Bills put it together and made a playoff run. Yeah, that's not happening.
Kevin Corke: Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys. No matter how you spin it, Tony should be an elite QB by now. He isn't and won't ever be unless he plays smarter. What a waste.
Most surprising player
Pete Prisco: Henry Melton, DT, Bears. He is a force in the middle of that defense.
Clark Judge: Kevin Kolb, QB, Cardinals. He couldn't beat out John Skelton in training camp. Then Skelton got hurt, and now Kolb can't lose. Don't tell me the Cards didn't know what they were doing when they traded for him.
Mike Freeman: Kolb. Everyone and their grandma thought he would stink. He has been great.
Jason La Canfora: Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings. AP is a freak of nature. Should not be this good, this soon after the knee surgery.
Will Brinson: Peterson. His recovery from a major knee injury late in 2011 is simply freakish. I expected him to rebound but his recovery time is amazing.
Josh Katzowitz: Alfred Morris, RB, Redskins. He barely won the starting job, holding off Evan Royster and Roy Helu Jr., but combine Morris with RG3 and you have a Washington offense that ranks third in the league. Pretty good for a rookie from Florida Atlantic.
Ryan Wilson: Christian Ponder, QB, Vikings. He isn't asked to carry his offense but Ponder has yet to throw an interception and the Vikings are leading the division. Nobody saw that coming.
Kevin Corke: Chandler Jones, DE, Patriots. Long, strong... bound to get his sack on. CJ is the truth and I'm in the choir.
Most disappointing team
Pete Prisco: New Orleans Saints. How much do they miss Sean Payton? Can't wait to see how much they blame Roger Goodell.
Clark Judge: Saints. This one's a no-brainer. They won their division a year ago. They can't win jack squat now. Check, please.
Mike Freeman: New York Jets. Really, really easy choice.
Jason La Canfora: Carolina Panthers. I thought they were primed for the playoffs, but they are already 1-3 with two losses in the division.
Will Brinson: Panthers. Two absolute no-shows against the Buccaneers (opening week) and Giants (Cam Newton's first prime-time game) and a crippling loss have them at 1-3 when they could be competing in this division.
Josh Katzowitz: Saints. Even with the loss of Sean Payton, I figured New Orleans would do well enough to challenge for a playoff spot. But four weeks in and the season might as well be over, mostly because of a horrendous defense. It's sad and surprising to watch.
Ryan Wilson: Saints. It took them four weeks to surpass their 2011 loss total and it's reasonable to think their best chance to make the playoffs will come in January 2014.
Kevin Corke: Saints. Glass half empty: No excuses. Garbage on the field, garbage off. Glass half full: They still might make the playoffs.
Most surprising team
|Christian Ponder and the Vikings start at 3-1. Few people saw that coming. (US Presswire)
Clark Judge: Cardinals. QB was supposed to be the problem, and the Cards were doomed without one. Only they're not. Somehow, they're one of three undefeated teams, and let's hear it for coach Ken Whisenhunt. All he has done is win 11 of his last 13 starts with John Skelton and Kevin Kolb at QB.
Mike Freeman: San Francisco 49ers. Thought Alex Smith would have imploded by now. Still a steady presence.
Jason La Canfora: Cardinals. Raise your hand if you had them beating the Patriots and Eagles in consecutive weeks, stifling both.
Will Brinson: Minnesota Vikings. The Cardinals could get the nod, but their defense was good and they were in the wild-card hunt last year, so it's not quite as shocking. The Vikings have already equaled their win total from 2011 a quarter of the way into the season.
Josh Katzowitz: Cardinals. Maybe we overlooked Arizona's defense because of the John Skelton/Kevin Kolb soap opera, but the Cardinals have relied on players like Sam Acho, Calais Campbell and Daryl Washington to complement Kolb. Who would have thought Arizona would be 4-0 with wins against the Patriots and Eagles? With the exception of Pete Prisco, not many.
Ryan Wilson: Cardinals. Nobody -- not even Ken Whisenhunt -- thought this team would be 4-0. More impressive: Kevin Kolb looks like a capable game manager, which, given all that has happened over the past 12 months, is welcome news.
Kevin Corke: Cardinals. This deck of Cards may fall apart sooner or later but right now they're way ahead of where I thought they'd be.
Best play so far
Pete Prisco: Has to be the Hail Mary at the end of the Packers-Seahawks game, although the Packers might disagree.
Clark Judge: The "touchdown" that ended the Seattle-Green Bay debacle. It ended the NFL's lockout of the regular game officials, and halleljuah.
Mike Freeman: Robert Griffin III's Week 1 touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon. It started RG3's impressive rookie season.
Jason La Canfora: Cecil Shorts' touchdowns. Blaine Gabbert isn't supposed to make that kind of perfect pass in that situation, and Shorts isn't supposed to make that catch ... then two weeks later they actually won the game.
Will Brinson: Mohamed Sanu's 73-yard touchdown bomb to A.J. Green out of the wildcat formation to start the Week 3 game against the Redskins. Creative, tone-setting, shocking and fun to see.
Josh Katzowitz: The Hail Mary at the end of the Seahawks-Packers game that gave Seattle an undeserved victory. Not so much because it basically ended the lockout, but because it's rare for the Twitter community to all come together at midnight to make jokes and express outrage at the same time. It was like hanging out in a sports bar that stretched all the way across the country.
Ryan Wilson: Browns rookie running back Trent Richardson treading Eagles safety Kurt Coleman in Week 1.
Kevin Corke: Seattle's Hail Mary dual-catch phony touchdown. Proof that Roger Goodell was, for a time, the emperor with no clothes. Our long nightmare is over.
Trend you expect to continue
Pete Prisco: Passers throwing for 300 yards. We had 13 of them in Week 4.
Clark Judge: No-huddle offenses. They're productive, they're hard to defend and they wear out defenses, especially when quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are dealing.
Mike Freeman: Tony Romo interceptions. He's going to have a bigger implosion than usual.
Jason La Canfora: Questionable calls. The real officials missed the entire preseason and three weeks of real games. It's going to take them time to get on top of their game.
Will Brinson: Read-option working well. Anyone who thinks this is a gimmick is a cranky old curmudgeon who lumps it in the same boat as the wildcat. Yes, you want quarterbacks who can pass, but adding different running wrinkles to the game only makes quarterbacks more dangerous.
Josh Katzowitz: In order to win a Super Bowl, a team has to have a top-10 quarterback on its roster. That's why the Cardinals won't win the Super Bowl but the Texans and Falcons very well could.
Ryan Wilson: The Jets' defense will continue to stop no one.
Kevin Corke: Peyton Manning keeps getting better. Neither his stats nor the Broncos record will show it, but beware potential AFC playoff foes. The man is ring shopping and this ain't Tiffany.
Trend you expect to stop
Pete Prisco: Crying about the officials. I think.
Clark Judge: Icing the kicker. It's time to admit that it doesn't work.
Mike Freeman: Jay Cutler punchable face smirks. I think he goes on a midseason tear starting now.
Jason La Canfora: Rookie and first-year QBs still starting. Jake Locker is already hurt, Brandon Weeden, Ryan Tannehill and Russell Wilson are very up and down and RG3 won't last until November if he keeps taking this beating.
Will Brinson: Heavy pass-interference penalties. We already saw it early on with the Week 4 action now that the real officials are back. I would bank on us continuing to see less of them.
Josh Katzowitz: A disappointing Mario Williams. For a $100 million man, Williams has done next to nothing, recording nine tackles and 1½ sacks in four games. He has to get better. Right?
Ryan Wilson: Michael Vick will throw fewer interceptions.
Kevin Corke: Lions being terrible. As Marvin Gaye sang, what's going on?! This Motown mess will turn it around or else...
First coach to be fired
Pete Prisco: I've said all along I don't think anybody will get it during the season.
Clark Judge: Aaron Kromer, Saints. Guaranteed, he doesn't last more than six games.
Mike Freeman: Romeo Crennel, Chiefs. Will be the fall guy for the front office.
Jason La Canfora: Pat Shurmur, Browns. Cleveland faces a daunting schedule, has major issues and inexperience on offense and lacks the depth to withstand injury.
Will Brinson: Crennel. The hot seat is shockingly cool right now because teams either just hired someone or they're doing better than folks expected. But if the Chiefs keep struggling as bad as they have, Crennel could be the victim of Scott Pioli trying to save his own skin.
Josh Katzowitz: Shurmur. Originally, I thought it would be Ken Whisenhunt, but clearly, that's not going to happen. For now I'll say Shurmur, because when that new ownership group takes over in Cleveland, there's no telling what changes will be made.
Ryan Wilson: Rex Ryan, Jets. We know that the higher-ups say Ryan's job is safe but, well, it shouldn't be.
Kevin Corke: Jim Schwartz, Lions. Restore the roar or hit the door. You've got tools -- use them or hit the Jeffries Freeway and beat it.
Assistant coach whose stock is rising
Pete Prisco: Dirk Koetter, offensive coordinator, Falcons. He has really done wonders for the Atlanta passing game. He will be a head coach soon.
Clark Judge: Ray Horton, defensive coordinator, Cardinals. There's one common element to the Cards' 11-2 record the past 13 games. It's called defense.
Mike Freeman: Every assistant on the Houston Texans. Just about each unit is playing well.
Jason La Canfora: Horton. The Dick LeBeau disciple has the baddest D in the land and the Cards staff is already bracing for what's seen as his eventual departure.
Will Brinson: Jay Gruden, offensive coordinator, Bengals. The Sanu touchdown is among a number of different ways he has gotten creative this season on the offensive end. With the Bengals' defense lagging, Gruden's only helped boost the stock of Andy Dalton in his second year, when no one was willing to expect that.
Josh Katzowitz: Gruden. People already were impressed by what he accomplished last year with Andy Dalton and A.J. Green, and this year, Gruden continues to build his résumé. It's sad to think Gruden likely will get a head coaching job before Cincinnati defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
Ryan Wilson: Koetter. Imagine that: Getting out of Jacksonville can do wonders for your career.
Kevin Corke: Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinator, Patriots. J-Mac is back and soon will be the head coach of another NFL team. He'll be better this time.
Will the Browns win a game? If so, against who?
Pete Prisco: Yes. Either at Indianapolis or home against the Chiefs later in the season.
Clark Judge: Of course they will. They hung with the Bengals and Ravens. And they could ... maybe should ... beat Indianapolis in Week 7.
Mike Freeman: The Browns will win two -- against the Colts and Chiefs.
Jason La Canfora: Sure, against Bengals. It's hard to go 0-16 and they tend to get up for the battle of their home state.
Will Brinson: Potentially three of them. No, really: I could see Cleveland beating Oakland and Kansas City in December and sneaking up on someone else. That's maxing it out though.
Josh Katzowitz: Yes, Week 14 vs. the Chiefs -- who somehow are even more awful than Cleveland.
Ryan Wilson: They'll beat the Colts in Week 7, 3-2. But that's it. This is a one-win outfit.
Kevin Corke: Yes, vs. the Chiefs on Dec. 9. You've gotta have heart to live in Cleveland. Browns deliver against KC and celebrate with BBQ.
Are you surprised how the Jets have used
Tim Tebow?
Pete Prisco: Why use him at all? He is a distraction. Period. All he does is ruin the offensive flow.
Clark Judge: No. They're using him exactly as they said they wanted to use him. Where's the mystery?
Mike Freeman: Shocked because they made such a big deal when they traded for him.
Jason La Canfora: Nope. They can't use him like a normal backup in a mopup role because it will cause too much drama/chaos.
Will Brinson: No. The only way this season could have been any more disastrous for them is if they really cranked up the quarterback controversy by giving Tebow tons of reps.
Josh Katzowitz: Yes, the lack of imagination while using him has been stunning. He has attempted one pass so far this season, so when Tebow does take a direct snap, he's a one-dimensional player. Offensive coordinator Tony Sparano has experience in the wildcat, and at this point, what is there to lose by not making the offense more gimmicky? What they're doing isn't working.
Ryan Wilson: The only thing that surprises us is that Tebow hasn't been used at cornerback or wide receiver, the Jets' two biggest needs after quarterback.
Kevin Corke: No. Want to win some games, Rex? Play Tebow. Want to lose your job? Play Tebow.
College player you're looking forward to seeing next season
Pete Prisco: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia. Wow. He is a big-time passer.
Clark Judge: Smith. He threw more touchdowns last weekend than Tom Brady has this year. Who wouldn't want to see what this guy has?
Mike Freeman: Matt Barkley, QB, Southern California. Because he's going to royally flame out.
Jason La Canfora: Smith. The kid is throwing for nearly 700 yards and 8 TDs. Who doesn't want to see how that translates to the big leagues?
Will Brinson: Smith. Since he's fast and has a big arm, I'm sure people will compare him to Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton and wonder if he can live up to those expectations. Instead of, you know, letting him do his own thing and just be good.
Josh Katzowitz: Smith. He's only completing 83.4 percent of his passes this season. I assume he'll be at least 80 percent in the NFL next year.
Ryan Wilson: Smith. There's already talk that he's better than Matt Barkley.
Kevin Corke: Smith. One word: Fun. A man's mind in a college kid's body.
Which teams will be in Super Bowl XLVII?
Pete Prisco: I picked the Packers and the Patriots, and I'm sticking with it. It's early.
Clark Judge: Green Bay and Houston. I said it at the start of the year, and I've seen nothing to discourage me.
Mike Freeman: Packers-Ravens. My preseason pick is still alive.
Jason La Canfora: Texans vs. Packers. Green Bay knows how to get there and the Texans might be the most complete team in the NFL.
Will Brinson: Falcons and Texans. Maybe they don't hand out rings in early October, but when your Super Bowl picks start out a collective 8-0, you keep riding those Super Bowl picks.
Josh Katzowitz: Texans vs. Falcons. Both teams are 4-0 and looking great without showing many signs of weakness. Atlanta had to survive a tough one vs. the Panthers last Sunday, but that's what the good teams do.
Ryan Wilson: Falcons vs. Patriots. Matt Ryan will out Brady Tom Brady and Tony Gonzalez will finally get a ring.
Kevin Corke: Patriots vs. 49ers. A wicked good match up. A Patriots win means Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Dallas have Super Bowl elite company.
How happy are you to have the real refs back?
Pete Prisco: It's better, but it was a story that had more overreaction than any in the history of the league.
Clark Judge: Not as happy as the NFL. Look at last weekend's games. There were six that were under three hours. There were eight games over 3:30 with the replacements.
Mike Freeman: Haven't been this happy since losing my virginity.
Jason La Canfora: Pretty stinkin' happy. One less negotiation to cover. No one cares how the sausage is made and covering the process is tedious at best.
Will Brinson: I'm just happy that Twitter isn't a complain-about-the-refs social-media forum now that they're back.
Josh Katzowitz: Fairly happy, but at the same time, so much of the hilarity of Sunday afternoons and evenings has disappeared without the replacements. So, kind of a mixed bag.
Ryan Wilson: Happier than any NFL running back is to face the Jets' defense.
Kevin Corke: Spectacularly! Nothing personal guys, but I don't want a replacement barber, let alone a replacement ref.

The Florence Town Council is preparing to take more than 1,100 acres from Curis Resources, a company it is locked in a bitter dispute with over a proposed copper mine.
The council voted 7-0 Monday evening to "exercise its power of eminent domain" — the latest salvo in a battle between Florence and Curis over the controversial project.
"It was a position we needed," Mayor Tom Rankin said Tuesday. "We will start the process of the town taking over the property of Curis."
Curis, controlled by a Canadian company, wants to build an underground copper mine off Hunt Highway, where it would inject a sulfuric-acid solution hundreds of feet underground, leaching copper from the soil and rock below. The copper-laden solution would be sent to the surface for processing.
Town officials worry the chemical process would pollute groundwater in the Pinal County community best known for being the headquarters of state prisons. Curis maintains the project is safe and will provide much-needed jobs outside the prison industry.
The town on Tuesday issued a statement saying it was acquiring the Curis property for water rights, a future wastewater-treatment plant and other town facilities and related improvements.
"I believe that using the town's power of eminent domain to acquire the Curis property for public purposes is in the best interests of the people of the Town of Florence," Town Manager Charles Montoya said.
"Acquiring the water rights, which exist on the Curis property, will ensure that the town can meet the water needs of its residents for many years to come."
Shane Ham, an attorney for Curis, questioned whether the town needed the water rights. He noted that officials last month voted to convey water rights in another part of town to the developer of a large housing project. That developer, George Johnson, opposes the copper mine.
Jess Knudson, Florence deputy town manager, said the two issues are not related. He also denied that Florence ceded water rights to Johnson.
In any event, Curis intends to defend its property rights, Ham said. He predicted the council's decision will cost Florence residents tens of millions of dollars.
Governments can confiscate private property for public use through eminent domain, but usually, a payment must be made to the owners as compensation.
"What the Town Council did was put the taxpayers of Florence at serious risk by beginning the process of condemning nearly 1,200 acres of a copper project without understanding the implications (of what) they have done," Ham said.
Curis expects the town will now offer to buy the property.
But Ham believes Curis will reject the offer because it most likely will be too low. Ham said Florence will likely base its financial offer on the value of residential property in the area, which is worth far less in his estimation than land that contains a potentially lucrative copper mine.
Ham said that once Curis rejects the offer, the town likely will file suit. Curis would argue in court that the "highest and best use" for the property is a copper mine.
If a judge agrees, the town would pay top dollar for the property, he said.
"They just could find out that they bought a pig in a poke," Ham said. "They may have bought a $300million copper mine, because we will have a chance to say that's the highest and best use."
Knudson noted that the Curis property is zoned for residential and commercial use.
"The town will need to compensate the property owner for the land, and it will be determined at fair market value. That will be discussed as we move forward," Knudson said.
He declined to speculate on a purchase price.
The town said in a statement that it expects the cost to depend on the market value of the 1,187 acres and the expense of hiring legal counsel, appraisers, surveyors and other professional services.
Arizona voters in 2006 approved Proposition 207 to give private-property owners more protection from eminent domain, said Christina Sandefur, who specializes in property-rights issues for the Phoenix-based Goldwater Institute, a conservative think tank.
Sandefur said state law requires governments to prove there is a true health or safety reason to take private property.
But she said it is cumbersome for most private-property owners to fight a local government, and many owners simply take the money offered.
"These lawsuits take a very long time, and with an appeals process, it can take years to work its way through the courts," she said.
Ham acknowledged that an eminent-domain lawsuit would continue to slow Curis' project, which has been debated the past few years.
Still, the company won't back down, he said.
"The copper is not going anywhere. This mine project can go forward in a year or two or three," Ham said.
Ham pointed out that legal battles are nothing new.
Curis last year sued Florence in U.S. District Court after the town passed an ordinance to effectively shut down development by banning the storage or use of large quantities of sulfuric acid, a key ingredient in the copper-recovery process.
That case is ongoing.
Curis in 2009 purchased property for the project near the geographic center of Florence and secured a mineral lease on unincorporated state trust land that is contiguous to the company's holdings.
The town cannot take the 160acres of state trust land, and Curis has said it could mine on the state land and be successful.
Yet the town ordinance regarding sulfuric acid also keeps Curis from mining on that property, Ham said.
State Land Commissioner Vanessa Hickman said that her office is not taking a position on the dispute because it does not involve state land.
Her office has supported the
project, and that position has
not changed — the state stands to reap hefty revenue if it goes forward.
Curis has enlisted help from influential politicians, including Gov. Jan Brewer, to move the project along.
A call to the Governor's Office was not returned Tuesday.

Although the usual first-line treatment for patients dependent on prescription opioids is extended agonist maintenance, detoxification may be preferable for some patients or may be the only treatment option available. To evaluate an outpatient detoxification regimen, researchers randomized 70 opioid-dependent patients to 1-, 2-, or 4-week buprenorphine tapering regimens after a brief stabilization with buprenorphine and naloxone (Sigmon SC et al. JAMA Psychiatry. doi:10.1001/jamapsychiatry.2013.2216 [published online October 23, 2013]). Patients received behavioral therapy during the 12-week study and naltrexone maintenance therapy after the tapering period to prevent relapse.

Palm oil as an ingredient-cheap,but unhealthy and unethical
At first glance palm oil may seem like an acceptable ingredient. After all it comes from a plant and its producers often label it as 'sustainable' and 'organic'. However nothing could be further from the truth.
On foods, it may be labelled as 'palm oil' or 'palm fat' or concealed under the general label of 'vegetable oil.' But this, however, will cease as the law is shortly changing in the UK so that it has to be clearly labelled as 'palm oil.'
In food, palm oil is often confused with coconut oil, which is an ethically produced, healthy ingredient. But palm oil contains saturated fat and is therefore unhealthy. It has been found not to be produced organically, despite producers' claims, but has been found to have been sprayed with large amounts of chemicals, and it leads to ecocide in the countries that are the major producers.
Why is palm oil so destructive? It says it's sustainable?
The palm oil industry is massive and massively expanding. New plantations are grown on newly cleared rainforest and it is a major driver of deforestation, violence and death to Indigenous peoples and animals and more.It is mainly grown in Indonesia, Malaysia and Borneo, the only homes of the near exctinct orang utan. It is easy for palm oil suppliers to say that their product is sustainable but these claims are unsubstantiated eg in the case of suppliers who say that they are accredited by the the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil, or that their approval has been sanctioned by the RSPO. This body has been widely discredited-it is not an external professional body with teeth, far from it, it hasn't even prevented human rights abuses or destruction of virgin rainforest. For more information please Google: 'The Declaration of Greenwashing of Palm Oil by the RSPO' .This has been signed by 250 groups worldwide.
Palm oil in other products.
Palm oil is cheap and has crept into a wealth of products including washing products,shampoo, soap, makeup and household products. In these it is labelled under its chemical names. The implications to forest destruction are the same.
Ethical consumption.
As awareness is spreading about the destructiveness of palm oil production, consumers are looking more and more for ethical products that don't contain palm oil. When the new law comes in, by the end of 2012,in the UK, it will be much easier for them to see if palm oil is an ingredient and avoid purchasing these goods.
There will be an increasing demand for palm free food ,soap, makeup and washing and other household products.
Some manufacturers have looked into the palm issue- by going to Indonesia where it was sourced and by listening to their consumers- and have taken it out of their goods. One company was horrified when they visited a palm plantation in Indonesia by the rainforest devastation and human suffering caused and acted accordingly halting their use of palm oil.
Going palm oil free makes sense-sense for ensuring a healthy, genuinely organic ethical product that more and more consumers will be requesting. Why wait?

Oil drillers should come up with a fuel made from palm oil, so that, they will avoid any kind of oil-related issues and problems besides, I think, they could still find ways on making use of the flare ignitors they usually use in drilling oil from underneath.ReplyDelete

(AP) - One of Karen Angelucci's favorite gardening tools is the wood potting bench her father made for her.
The big poplar bench has shelves for storing pots, nails on which to hang utensils, and a large work area, said Angelucci, of Lexington, Ky., an author of gardening books. "I have to have room to work and create," she said. "Potting benches tell the character of a person. That's why mine's large and messy."
Here are some things to consider before buying or building a potting bench:
Article Photos
This image courtesy of Gardener's Supply shows its Classic Potting Bench. Gardeners use potting benches primarily for potting flowers and small seedlings.
Put the bench in a shady spot so you're not working in direct sun, experts recommend. Consider whether to incorporate the bench into the landscape or hide it behind a garage or shed. Remember that a potting bench can get messy and cluttered.
Think about what size plants and pots you will be using, and how much workspace you will need.
Make sure the work area is at a comfortable level. You don't want to have to bend down or reach up.
Some benches come with shelves, drawers, or utensil hooks for storing or displaying gardening tools. Consider hanging tools on hooks so they aren't sitting in wet drawers after it rains.
Pick a material suited to your climate. Many benches are made from cedar or redwood, which can withstand the elements well. Plastic and recycled materials also hold up well in sun, rain and snow.
Some benches have wheels so they can be moved around the yard. If you intend to roll yours around the lawn, make sure it isn't too heavy to push.
Prices vary widely. A do-it-yourself bench could be constructed for as little as $30. A number of gardening websites offer plans for building potting benches. Store-bought benches start at around $100.
Benches come in many styles, from rustic to country cottage to simple and functional. If the bench will be visible from a patio, deck or house window, you will need to consider whether it blends with the look of your house or yard.
Potting benches can be outfitted with many kinds of equipment. Some have sinks that can be rigged to outdoor spigots. Others have leaves or shelves that can be folded out to create extra work space. Some come with boxes to store soil or catch it while you work.

Position of Origin in OPENGL??
hai guys,
Please say me that what is the POSITION of the (0,0,0) and (0 ,0) in the MONITOR
screen that is in OPENGL.......
please help me....
regards Tango
Re: Position of Origin in OPENGL??
Normally its at the top left position on your screen but it can always be normalised to make the screen as in the case of first quadrant.
The third zero is the Z-Order.
Re: Position of Origin in OPENGL??
OpenGL's "origin" is at the bottom-left, as a mathematician would expect. There are simple ways to put it at the upper left, as most windowing systems expect. See here and many other Googled references.

I wasn't sure what to do with it…so I decided it would make a cute little elf!

China's role in the global economy is expanding, but its writers continue to struggle with censorship and restrictions. This month we're presenting fiction, nonfiction, and essays by banned Chinese writers. In work that could not be published in their native country, the authors here testify to the conditions both during the Cultural Revolution and now. We open with Liao Yiwu's impassioned acceptance speech for the Peace Prize for the German Book Trade, just awarded in mid October. Yang Xianhui exposes the hideous truth of the Great Famine, and Xie Peng and Duncan Jepson contribute a graphic portrait of gluttony. Chenxin Jiang interviews censored authors Yan Lianke and Chan Koon-chung. In fiction, Chen Xiwo depicts scheming poets, and Sheng Keyi describes a paradise turned dark. Activist Cui Weiping urges individual action. And in two memoirs of the Cultural Revolution, the late Ji Xianlin recalls his torture and imprisonment, and Zhang Yihe records a clandestine meeting between the top two Rightists.
Elsewhere, in fiction by two writers from the New Literature from Europe Festival, Spain's Ricardo Menéndez Salmón sees a marriage go down in flames, and Romania's Dumitru Tsepeneag witnesses a backyard transformation.
