Spoiler Alert!Originally Posted by Name RemovedOriginally Posted by Sam_Harris
I am Legend stars Will Smith as the last man on Earth. But I'm guessing he's not really because in the ads after that statement it says 'The last man on Earth... Isn't Alone.' That statement seems a bit odd... But then hey, if he really was alone it wouldn't make much of a movie. Will Smith walking around an abandon city for 2 hours! But no, I think he gets attacked by diseased humans or something and he is trying to rescue them - because for some reason he (and his awesome dog) wasn't affected. The dog better not die. Anyway, it looks awesome from the trailer. Oh, and if I'm wrong about the plot feel free to correct me. I have been avoiding all talks of the movie because the ending has been spoiled - before it came out in the US. Not sure if its been released in America yet, but probably. So I certainly can't go anywhere to find plot outlines.
+20 no that's for playing the intro , there isn't a number high enough for the level of awesomeness you will get from playing this song. I love the achievemnt you get on the 360; The Inhuman Achievemnt .Originally Posted by nkbswe5
I tried playing left handed today I swear this is true the songs are easier on left handed, Miss Murder is missing tons of notes when you play left handed.
On another note...

A Des Moines woman said she was stopping by her mom's house to borrow a DVD late Thursday night when she spotted something that stopped her in her tracks.
Miranda McKeown, 19, said she saw through her mother's basement window a man dressed all in black, hiding behind a water heater in the laundry room.
McKeown fled to her grandmother's house and called her mom at work.
After police cleared the residence in the 200 block of Lacona, Miranda and her brother walked though and said nothing was missing or disturbed. However, her brother reported seeing a man in dark clothing near a neighbor's home when he left for work an hour before.
The case is under investigation.

NEW YORK - It's springtime for Mel Brooks.
"The Producers," a $10 million stage version of his classic film comedy, is Broadway's biggest hit since "The Lion King," with the highest ticket price on Broadway - $100 - and rhapsodic reviews Friday from critics.
"The real thing," proclaimed The New York Times, "a big Broadway book musical that is so ecstatically drunk on its powers to entertain that it leaves you delirious."
"The first Broadway smash of the new century," burbled Variety, the show-biz weekly.
The musical is basically sold out into November. It opened Thursday at the St. James Theatre with an advance of $17 million.
Tickets through April 2002 went on sale Friday, not only at the St. James, but across 44th Street at the Majestic and Broadhurst theaters, where "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Fosse" are playing. It is an unusual move because the St. James is owned by Jujamcyn Theaters and the other two by the rival Shubert Organization.
The extra box-office windows were needed to handle the crowds, said John Barlow, a spokesman for "The Producers." Those potential theatergoers were greeted with more than long lines.
The top ticket price was hiked overnight, from $91 to $100 - a $99 top price plus $1 for theater restoration. Other shows have charged that amount in the past: the two-part, eight-hour version of "Nicholas Nickleby" and the limited run Kevin Spacey "Iceman Cometh," for example.
Yet "The Producers" is the first open-ended engagement to charge that much for a majority of its seats. At the 1,623-seat St. James, the new ticket pricing could mean a weekly gross of $1.1 million, the highest on Broadway.
By 5 p.m. Friday, $2.5 million worth of tickets had been sold, with the figure expected to top $3 million by midnight. The day after it opened in 1998, "The Lion King" sold $2.7 million worth of tickets at a top price of $75.
The show's real producers, a high-powered consortium that includes Jujamcyn president Rocco Landesman, Miramax Films honchos Bob and Harvey Weinstein and Brooks himself, did not return phone calls to comment about the ticket price hike and the show.
But Tom Viertel, Jujamcyn's creative director, told The New York Times, "I don't think we're breaking a major barrier, except for Broadway's own limits. We're operating in a world where there's a lot of precedent for these prices."
"It's time has come," said Barry Weissler, producer of such hits as "Chicago" and "Annie Get Your Gun," referring to the $100 ticket. "And I suppose with `The Producers,' if you've got it, flaunt it."
Not that anybody seems to be complaining. Thursday's starry opening-night audience agreed with the critics.
"It's a fantastic production," enthused Kathleen Turner at intermission. "I'm sure it's going to be a hit." Glenn Close and Michael J. Fox agreed, while Demi Moore said, "I'm just happy to be here."
"I've been waiting 32 years to see this and it is living up to every expectation I could possibly have," said Martin Lewis, a comedian and performer who lives in Los Angeles.
"The Producers" stars Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in the roles played in the 1968 movie by Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. They portray the immortal scamsters, Max Bialystock and Leopold Bloom, who raise more money than is needed to put on a flop musical. They plan to run off with the excess when the show, "Springtime for Hitler," closes. Of course, it is a hit.
Will Broadway's other hot-ticket musical follow the lead of "The Producers"? "The Lion King," a consistent sellout since it opened in New York, is holding at $90 for its best seats. Besides, the Disney extravaganza is pretty much sold out into June 2002.

So when asked about how long his starters would play in tonight's preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Ford Field, the answer was classic Schwartz: "We'll see. I don't have any set number of plays or set quarter. It's a little bit loose, we'll play it by ear as we go."
So, that settles that.
Lions defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham, who rarely has a problem speaking his mind, was a little more forthright. Saying that Schwartz makes all the final decisions, Cunningham said he doesn't think the coaching staff needs to see a lot from the starters.
"Not that much. You don't want to push it too hard, too fast," Cunningham said. "You see what's going on in the league. I really have to bite my tongue but you see some of the injuries that are happening. Players have a lot of pride and they're stressing themselves to do the right thing and you've got to be careful with that."
The Lions will likely be careful with receiver Calvin Johnson (ankle) and cornerback Aaron Berry (groin), who are game-time decisions.
The Lions already have ruled out the following players: tight end Brandon Pettigrew (ankle), tackle Jeff Backus (chest), tackle Jason Fox (foot), running back Maurice Morris (hand), receiver Titus Young (hamstring), defensive tackle Andre Fluellen (hand), cornerback Alphonso Smith (foot) and defensive tackle Nick Fairley (foot).
LIONS VS. BENGALSKickoff: 7:30 p.m. tonight at Ford Field, Detroit
TV: 11 p.m. on Fox (tape delayed, time approximate)
Last year's records: Detroit 6-10, Cincinnati 4-12.
Notables: The Bengals will start rookie quarterback Andy Dalton, who might play the entire first half. ... Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford likely will play just the first quarter or so.
Injuries: Questionable -- Calvin Johnson (ankle), cornerback Aaron Berry (groin). Out -- tight end Brandon Pettigrew (ankle), tackle Jeff Backus (chest), tackle Jason Fox (foot), running back Maurice Morris (hand), receiver Titus Young (hamstring), defensive tackle Andre Fluellen (hand), cornerback Alphonso Smith (foot) and defensive tackle Nick Fairley (foot).
First regular-season game: At Tampa Bay, 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11
First regular-season home game: Kansas City, 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18
Linebacker DeAndre Levy will play alongside two new teammates -- free agent linebackers Stephen Tulloch and Justin Durant.
"I expect about a quarter or so, maybe 20 snaps. The big thing for the linebackers is getting that chemistry down, getting that communication down and being able to play off one another," Levy said. "We're working it out, but we haven't had any live action yet so that will be big for us."
Even though it's "just" a preseason game, live action is live action.
"Everything changes. It can all go out the window when the bullets start flying, but I trust the guys," Levy said.
The Lions will start another "new" guy in the secondary. Second-year player Amari Spievey, who is starting at safety, doesn't look anything like the player he was last year.
"I pulled up the old depth charts, and last year he was listed as the fourth safety on the right side," Cunningham said. "Boy, he's come a long way. He's looking good, he's looking really good."
And Spievey is anxious to look good on the field.
"I want to tackle. I want to tackle and I want to cover some people to see how I feel and get some rust off," Spievey said. "Out here, we can't really hit anybody like I want to so I want to get out there and make some contact and work on my tackling."
While Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford might only play a quarter, the Bengals are expected to play rookie quarterback Andy Dalton for most of the first half.
Lions defensive end Cliff Avril said he's not real interested in who the Bengals play at quarterback.
"I don't necessarily care who is back there. For us, we have to beat the guy who's in front of us to get to that guy. If you get past your guy, you just smack the quarterback so it doesn't really matter who's back there."

Reading the ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Kaplan Higher Education, it becomes obvious early on which side scored the win. "In this case," reads the court's first sentence, "the EEOC sued the defendants for using the same type of background check that the EEOC itself uses."
The April 9 summary judgment in favor of Kaplan, the education company perhaps best known for providing standardized test preparation, asserted that not only did the commission lack the evidence that Kaplan practiced racial discrimination in its hiring process, but that the commission uses comparable credit checks in its own employment practices. The case is another setback for the commission, which recently had a big discrimination case loss in EEOC v. Sterling Jewelers.
Gerald Maatman Jr., the Seyfarth Shaw partner who represented the defendants in the Sterling case and argued on behalf of Kaplan told CorpCounsel.com that he sees the Kaplan case as "a wholesale rejection of the EEOC's strategy in trying to demonstrate that hiring screens are discriminatory."
In the case, the EEOC alleged that the credit checks used by Kaplan in its hiring process screened out more African-American than white applicants, causing a disparate impact in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In order to prove this, the EEOC's expert witness conducted an investigation using "race raters," who went through photos of Kaplan applicants and classified them by what racial group they appeared to belong to.
The Sixth Circuit affirmed the opinion of the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Ohio, which also deemed the EEOC's methodology for examining the Kaplan records unreliable.
There was also the issue of the similarity between the credit checks used by the EEOC and those used by Kaplan. Maatman said he realized last spring that he "ought to have the right to conduct discovery as to the government's own practices. It's to my knowledge the first time a court has allowed discovery of what the EEOC's screening practices are."
The commission stated in its most recent strategic enforcement plan that it is set on examining employment screening tools as a mode of discrimination. David Lopez, the general counsel of the EEOC, said in a statement emailed to CorpCounsel.com that although the commission is "disappointed" by the ruling in Kaplan, it is only "evidentiary" and "does not go to the merits of the underlying discrimination allegation made by the EEOC.
"The commission continues to be concerned about the impact of using credit history to screen out worthy applicants for employment and will not abandon its efforts to challenge such practices for their impact on protected groups in appropriate cases," Lopez's statement said.
Maatman believes with the Sterling and Kaplan cases, "the pendulum seems be swinging back toward the defense."
Nonetheless, he advises in-house attorneys to keep watching the EEOC, particularly its upcoming case in the Fourth Circuit against Freeman Companies, an event planning company that the EEOC has accused of discriminating against applicants through the use of credit and criminal history in the hiring process. "Stay tuned and see what's going on," Maatman said. "Things are in flux and employers seem to be doing better when they stick to their guns and use their defense rather than buckle under from these threats from the EEOC."

Tampa City Council members discussed installing fences at parks containing lakes, beaches or river access on Thursday in response to a recent incident where a toddler drowned in the Hillsborough River.
The Tampa Bay Times reported that 69 of the city's 151 parks have some sort of water feature, adding up to a total 38 and a half miles of shoreline.
Thursday's discussion was prompted by the death of 2-year-old Armani Pierce, who vanished the evening of Aug. 13 after his family went to a youth football practice at a city park.
Four law enforcement agencies and many volunteers swept the area and found the boy's body the following morning in 6 feet of water near the shore of the river.

• Genitofemoral neuralgia is a syndrome characterized by chronic pain and paresthesia in the region of genitofemoral nerve distribution. Genitofemoral nerve entrapment has been described after inguinal herniorrhaphy, appendectomy, and cesarean section. Failure to distinguish it from ilioinguinal nerve entrapment can result in unnecessary inguinal reexploration, or patients severely debilitated from chronic pain. We recommend that patients with persistent pain and paresthesia in the inguinal region following surgery should have a local ilioinguinal nerve block. If this is unsuccessful in affecting relief of symptoms, a paravertebral block of L-1 and L-2 should be considered. Using these two blocks, a rational decision can then be made to operate on either the ilioinguinal nerve or the genitofemoral nerve. We describe three cases of genitofemoral neuralgia treated by extraperitoneal excision of the genitofemoral nerve.

The marketing materials distributed by the Pensacola Beach Visitors Information Center proclaim that "when the sun goes down, our beach lights up." But when I rolled onto the island well after darkness on a Saturday night in late June, it was a strikingly quiet with precious few revelers out making the rounds of the bars and nightlife.
My hotel was even more quiet than the night spots I had driven past. Everything was so dead that it was apparent the spill had taken its toll, even though in the darkness it was impossible to see much physical evidence of the spill.
I had splurged a bit for a beach front view, but was surprised to find that since the hotel was so empty I had been upgraded to a suite on the top floor. If I thought the streets were tranquil, well, having the entire top floor of a Holiday Inn Express was downright soundless, save for the peaceful rhythm of the surf hitting the beach outside.
That was until around midnight, when the relaxing whisper of nature was broken by high pitched beeps and the unmistakable sound of machinery. I made my way out onto the balcony, and in the spectacular light of the moon rising over the Gulf of Mexico, you could see flashing lights approaching from the distance.
The sounds grew louder as the machinery got closer, and before long you could see that the activity was from cleanup crews that had begun making passes along the beach in what turned out to be an all-night effort to clear the beaches of oil and tar balls.
So, ironically, the marketing material was right – the beach did light up after all. It just wasn't with tourists or in a way that would help fill the coffers of a tourist town.
The crews and machinery made steady passes up and down the beach until morning. By first light, the machinery was gone and the beach was clean white sand.

Fashioning Procedural and Substantive Due Process Arguments in Toxic and Other Tort Actions Involving Punitive Damages after Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. v. Haslip
James May
Widener University Delaware Law School
January 1, 1992
Environmental Law, Vol. 22, 1992
This article predicted that one of the most important issues in future tort litigation would be the role of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment in constraining the imposition of punitive damages by state court juries. In Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. v. Haslip, the Supreme Court found that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment limits, but does not prohibit, the imposition of punitive damages. The article argues that procedural due process would be protected by giving the jury adequate guidance on the nature and purpose of punitive damages, by using post-verdict judicial review to assure that the award is reasonable, and by applying the proper standard of proof. it also reasoned that substantive due process would be served by rendering an award of punitive damages neither excessive in degree (as compared with the award for compensatory damages) nor in frequency (as when a single course of tortious conduct results in the multiple imposition of punitive damages).

WASHINGTON - Decrying a "partisan three-ring circus" in the nation's capital, President Barack Obama criticized a newly minted Republican plan to avert an unprecedented government default Monday night and said congressional leaders must produce a compromise that can reach his desk before the Aug. 2 deadline.
"The American people may have voted for divided government, but they didn't vote for a dysfunctional government," the president said in a hastily arranged prime-time speech. He appealed to the public to contact lawmakers and demand "a balanced approach" to reducing federal deficits.
Obama stepped to the microphones a few hours after first Republicans, then Democrats drafted rival fallback legislation Monday to avert a potentially devastating government default in little more than a week.

Guillow's #403 Spitfire...yeah...
i am currently building a Guillow's kit spitfire with electric flight in mind. based off posts of read here and on other sites i pretty much have full intentions on crashing and burning once its completed and attempted to be flown
that said, its still my goal to actually get a successful flight a time or two, even if it is entirely on accident. it will be a simple build with stock wing and simple R/E/T only. im considering not even using the landing gear to avoid the both weight and tearing it up on landing (if it comes belly side down in a controlled fashion ever). so far the plan is to have the front of the fuselage removable for battery access and the nose planked for added support. im considering planking the LE/TE of the wings somewhat for stability on impact but not sure if that is worth the added weight.
my list of parts is looking like it will be as follows:
using an e-flite park 250 brushless, e-flite esc, and 2 blade 9x5 prop
i have a 4 channel controller, just have to check if the current receiver will fit the small spitfire and how much it weighs.
any suggestions/ideas on how to go about this build or the above parts?
Welcome to rcgroups and the Guillows conversion addiction.
You sure didn't pick and easy one but have a good attitude about it thinking failure is a possibility.
Having done a few conversions this size here are my comments about your equipment selection.
Your battery selection looks good.
Not sure that motor will fit in the nose? It is also a bit heavy for a model this size but will have plenty of power.
I would use 5 gram servos and save the extra weight.
Insert planking the nose back to the leading edge would be a good idea.
Modify the wing to include a proper spar. Shear webs would be the minimum.
I like to skip the hatch in the fuse and make the wing removeable and retained with a pair of magnets. This becomes the hatch and everything is installed from there.
Like Glenn, I'm not into sectioning hatches on these planes. The wing is quickly removable with a nylon bolt that can be turned by hand, for batt access.

also, what torque rating should i be looking at for these lighter weight servos? i dont want to end up with something that cant get the job done
I would go with the lightest possible solution.
Something like this one http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...trunner_1700kv
This motor is very similar to the CDROM conversions I use in my models this size.
The Spitfire has a longish nose and with the light motor the battery will need to be near the wing leading edge.
OTOH, WTFLYR used a GWS 350 geared power system in his and that weighs as much or maybe more than the motor you proposed. Some guys like a higher wing loading on their models and can fly them in much more wind than my 8oz light weights.
I ues the 5 gram servos in models this size without problems. Not sure what the torque output is but it's adequate for my stuff.

well, my plane will probably be heavy, i doubt i have the skill to craft it as light and agile as yours. wish i had a scale to weigh it on

figured id upload a picture. fuselage is just resting on the wings...and yes, im working on my kitchen bar/counter
Ailerons on any low winger warbird are almost necessary. Some omit rudder control and use ailerons and elevator plus throttle for belly landers. I like to taxi models and like having rudder for ROG takeoffs. Some couple aileron servo to rudder to get a certain amount of rudder with aileron commands, without weight of a rudder servo. You need to plan battery and R/C system placement to avoid need for nose ballast, avoid any tail heaviness to get through the maiden/trim flight.

what would you recommend for covering the surfaces? in spirit of the budget-probably-going-to-crash spirit i was thinking of just using the tissue in the kit, but would using some microlite give it enough strength to maybe survive a bit longer?
Microlite would be a good choice. Just stay away from the heavy films. Nelson lite film aka solite works well but loosens or should I say has poor memory. Solarfilm is a good alternative little stronger and on the lower end of film weight. Doculam is also a candidate however you need to buy a lifetime supply or I think Charlie at Manzano has "short" rolls. While tissue and dope would be your lightest choice it is very prone to puncture and might not meet your survivability criteria.
I agree with E, put ailerons on, correct the airfoil from the plans flat profile, correct either the wing or horizontal stabilizer incidence unless you are ready for lot's of down trim, 1/8" Washout in the tips (as this is an elliptical wing) right and down thrust will also help in a successful first flight, CG forward of the FF line. I believe this one has a CL CG marked on the plans? might be a good start.
The challenge is going to be the front end of the Spitfire. It has a short nose and not a lot of room in there. As WT did you can go up to 14 OZ.'s or so and probably be fine. Just remember the lower the weigh the lower the stall speed.
Hope this helps,

im headed off to the local shop to see what they have. also going to see if i can pick up a cheapo/light brushed motor. ive got an ESC for one but no motor. hopefully they've got something that might work out. if not i'll just see if they have a brushless esc/motor.
im not going to ailerons on this go around, but i might end up picking up another kit while im there...
edit: cg for both ff and cl is shown as at the b3/4 former, roughly directly above the thickest part of the wing

i ended up getting an eflite park 250 brushless outrunner (14g), eflite 10amp brushless ecs (10g) and a small 7.4v 300mAh lipo. total weight combined is only about 1.5oz, so not too bad. went ahead and spent a little more money figuring that these will be used many times in small scale models
My tail could have been lighter and the fuse was sheeted, but I still needed considerable ballast, along with the relatively heavy motor setup, in addition to the batt and servos mounted very far forward. The longer nose than some is a bit misleading on this plane, as the elliptical wing moves the MAC considerably forward than that of straighter wings. I would use something comparable to a Park 370 outrunner. You'll likely need the weight, unless you can keep the rear fuse and tail very light. Nothing wrong with the setup you have, as long as the rear is kept very light. These planes are what gave me the respect for shaving all the tail weight you can. On the CG, I have found the Guillows CGs in general to be a good bit aft of what I needed for stable rc flight.
That looks like a good choice for your power system.
You will need to place the servos, rx and esc near the leading edge. You may need a larger battery mounted up in the nose to get the CG like WTFLYR has suggested. And keep the tail as light as possible!
Now that you have the airframe nearly done is a good time to experiment with the equipment position to achieve the proper balance. Set it up a bit nose heavy now. The tail will get heavier after covering.

Military Laws on Exemplary Conduct: What Remains after 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' Rulings
Kevin H. Govern
Ave Maria School of Law; California University of Pennsylvania; John Jay College
JURIST Forum (http://jurist.org), October 18, 2010
JURIST Guest Columnist Kevin Govern of Ave Maria School of Law says that despite the recent District Court decisions enjoining the Department of Defense from enforcing or applying "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," there remains a significant body of law allowing the military to demand what it considers "exemplary conduct" from its members.

This volume in the Clinics in Developmental Medicine series represents the findings of a meticulous neuroradiological study dealing with the cause of mental retardation.
The subject matter, presentation format, and research design would be of interest to neurologist, pediatrician, internist, radiologist, and any serious public health professional.
A broad-spectrum literature review is presented to cite previous etiological studies on mental retardation, with a focus on other than neuroradiological expertise (sociological, clinical, biochemical, neurophysiological, cytogenetic, and pathological). A review of the literature dealing with previous neuroradiological studies is also provided.
The study was motivated by the belief that treatment and prophylaxis in mental retardation depend on an understanding of the cause and clinical signs.
One thousand patients admitted consecutively to a Finnish mental retardation facility during a 23-year period comprised the study population. All survivors as of Dec 31, 1966, were followed up through physical, cytogenetical, electroencephalographic, and echoencephalographic examinations. A

Unsung heroes? How about the modern role of the Fullback in the NFL? These guys are expected to be lead blockers in the running game and bulldozers in pass protection… but rarely touch the ball.
Vonta Leach (formerly of the Houston Texans who signed a free agent deal with the Baltimore Ravens this season for 3 years at $11 milz) may be the highest profile FB in the biz these days… but he has kind words for the Eagles' Owen Schmitt, who plays a similar role for the Eagles in 2011, albeit at a much lower salary ( about $555,000)…
"Owen's good, very good," said Leach in a phone call he accepted from me last night. "He reminds me of the way I try to play. We all saw the hit he put on Shawntae Spencer last year in your game against the 49'ers… it was picture-perfect. That's the role we live for and we enjoy. We don't need the ball in our hands to know we are contributing to the success of a play. That's just the way we like it. We concentrate on one thing, one type of skill… If you get the ball to us, we feel it's a bonus opportunity."
Schmitt goes 6-2, 245 in his 4th year out of West Virginia U. via the Seattle Seahawks, who drafted him in the 6th round in 2008… Vontay Leach is just a tad bigger and quicker than Schmitt… but it's guys like these that are crucial and essential to setting up opportunities for the QB's and the scatbacks and the flyboys to find the openings they need to do their thing…
Schmitt does get the occasional carry or outlet dump pass, as he did here in last year's October game vs. the Redskins…
Said Leach: "A lot of people don't understand what a fullback brings to the table — the physicality, the reads, the play-action that opens up the pass, plus being a hard-nosed player. We do everything they ask us to do."
Leach is so good at what he does that he was voted #65 in the NFL's Top 100 Players this year by that preseason poll of the players they did at the NFL Network…
And with the unfortunate demise of Leonard Weaver due to career-ending injury, Leach is now the highest-paid FB in the game…
One of the similarities between Schmitt and Leach is that both can now say they have earned their stripes in a zone-blocking offense. Back in Houston, and now in Philadelphia, you need a fullback who not only has to move men out of the way, but he has to do it all while playing in the most difficult system for a fullback. In the zone-block system the fullback is asked to read the defense just like the running back and the linemen. The difference is that he is asked to do it a few feet closer to the line of scrimmage than the running back. Making matters even more challenging, in a zone system most of the reads are made after the snap.
Schmitt is asked to read the second level, pick a hole and move through it in almost half the distance that LeSean McCoy is asked to do the same thing. You can imagine how difficult that must be. In a power system the reads are usually pre-snap and therefore the fullback knows what they are doing before the ball is snapped. In the Eagles' new zone-block system, almost all of what Schmitt is doing mentally is happening after the snap. It's happening fast, but so far he's doing it well.
Wild stuff, and a lot of brainwork.
Zone-block mania has also greatly affected the role of Brent Celek (whom I like) in the role of tight end….
Because he has developed into such a solid blocker, he is more apt to be protecting quarterback Michael Vick in Sunday's game at Atlanta or zone-blocking on a running play than trying to catch passes.
"Brent has always been an excellent and high-level player in all aspects of the game," Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said earlier this week. "He really is a fine blocker and he's very good in the pass game. I know his numbers aren't quite there, but that's a little bit cyclical. There will be certain games where I hope (to get Celek more involved as a receiver)."
Celek, who is in his fifth season, was not very involved last week. He had only three passes thrown his way and caught one during a 31-13 victory at St. Louis. His lone reception was a big one, however. His 13-yard catch on a third-and-10 play in the second quarter led to a 34-yard field goal by place-kicker Alex Henery that gave the Eagles a 17-10 halftime lead.
"What matters is that you know you're playing well overall," Celek said earlier this week. "If you start basing things off of stats. … There are going to be times when guys have a hundred (receiving) yards, but they haven't played a good game. You've got to critique yourself on the film and get better from that and not worry about stats."
Celek, 26, saw his role begin to change last season. He had a breakout year in 2009, catching 76 passes for 971 yards and eight touchdowns and topping the 100-yard mark in three games. Last year, he caught just 42 passes for 511 yards and four TDs with no 100-yard games.
Celek will spend more time picking up blitzes than running pass routes. "It will depend on the game," Mornhinweg said. "We have a lot of guys and one guy's numbers might be up for one game and someone else's the next game. We're not concerned about that and the players aren't concerned about that. It's whatever it takes to get the job done."
Celek, who now weighs 265 pounds, helped McCoy rush for 122 yards and score two TDs against the Rams and give Vick enough time to connect with Jackson for six passes for 102 yards and a TD. In the offseason, Celek trained on his own and added approximately 10 pounds of muscle in an effort to handle opposing defensive ends and linebackers. "I just tried to put on some muscle and get a little bigger," Celek said. "There are times when you take a lot of hits during a season and if you don't have a little bit of extra muscle there, you're going to get beat up later in the year.
"I have a certain job to do on every single play and my goal is to do that to the best of my ability."
Here's the scoreboard from last week in the EEB FFL.
The Nut Chokers at McLuvin's Pastries (98-144)
How you like Dem APPLES! J Huston at The Amputatoe's (88-180)

Let Congress keep control of trade pacts
June 20, 2013
Senator -just because Congress passed it and the Supreme Court gave it their "stamp of approval", it doesn't make it a good deal for America. Already, just today, reports say that the implementation is way, somewhere around 6 months, behind. Add that to the ever-increasing realization that costs will be far more than originally touted and we have what some are calling a "train wreck". Finally, members of Congress and health care providers openly admit they have no idea what the Bill entails.

"But this administration has proven itself to be among the most power-hungry in history." Are you kidding me? Let's see what the US Chamber of Commerce has to say on the subject: "To secure new market-opening trade agreements, Congress must renew the traditional trade negotiating authority that every president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has enjoyed. Sometimes called "trade promotion authority" or "fast track," this trade negotiating authority gives the United States a seat at the table in international trade negotiations". There is no question that Congress may regulate international commerce under the Constitution. But there is also no question that the President can negotiate with foreign nations under the Constitution. Brown's reasons for opposition are certainly not the same as the editorial. For heaven's sake, give it up on healthcare! Congress passed it, the Supreme Court gave its stamp of approval.

There were valid reasons for the three branches of government to serve as checks and balances.
No one person should be able to commit America to trade agreements without congressional oversight and approval.

Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino broke a record for raking in cash the past 12 months, and has already paid off the mortgage on its new $32 million hotel.
The Altoona casino pulled in gross gambling revenue of $194.7 million for the 12 months ending June 30 from 2.7 million admissions, according to the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. That was the highest revenue ever since the casino opened in 1995 and it was up from $189.9 million in gross gambling revenue for the same period a year ago.
The average gambler left behind $72 per visit at Prairie Meadows between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012, state records show.
"Things are going well," said Prairie Meadows Chief Executive Officer Gary Palmer. "With our new hotel and our convention facilities, we are very happy with our numbers. Actually, we always want them better, but we are not complaining. It is going very well."
Palmer said today in an interview with the Des Moines Register that the new hotel opened in March and it has had an occupancy rate last month of 80 percent, which he considers to be good for now. The hotel has been drawing local customers who want to stay for the weekend, and it's been popular with summer vacation travelers passing through on Interstate Highway 80, he said.
"A lot of people like to stop and stay at casinos. So this is a great play to stop and stay overnight," Palmer said.
The $32 million hotel construction project is already paid off, Palmer said. The payments were primarily made from the casino's cash flow, while a $6 million bank loan for the hotel has been fully repaid, he added.
Prairie Meadows' real estate is owned by Polk County government. The casino and racetrack are operated by a non-profit community board. Despite making payments on the hotel and for a casino expansion project that is under way, Palmer said he still expects the facility to contribute about $37 million this year to Polk County, the City of Des Moines, local schools and charities.
"We are stewards of the community and we want to keep it that way as much as we can," Palmer said. "We are lucky that we have good cash flow. We are still able to give … to the community every year, and we just feel it is a good way to do business."
State gambling regulators have criticized Prairie Meadows in the past for not maximizing its status as a monopoly operator in one of Iowa's largest gambling markets. Brian Ohorilko, the new administrator of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, said today he wants to withhold any comment until after Prairie Meadows casino expansion opens this fall. Overall, Ohorilko said Iowa's casino industry is holding up fairly well in a difficult economy, noting it recorded its highest revenue ever for the past 12 months, totaling more than $1.4 billion.
Prairie Meadows' 15,000-square-foot casino expansion, which is costing $10 million, is scheduled to be completed in mid-October. It will allow the casino to offer about 2,200 slot machines, up from about 1,935 now. Palmer said he hopes to have the project paid for around the time the construction is completed by using cash flow.

As a psychology student at Edgewood, you have three concentration options, each focusing on a different aspect of the field. In clinical and counseling you will explore the major theories of personality, abnormal behaviors, and psychotherapies. The Substance Abuse concentration satisfies the educational requirements for Wisconsin Substance Abuse Counselor Certification. You will learn the assessment, treatment, and prevention of substance abuse problems. The Human Services concentration provides professional experience in social work or human services practice with diverse populations from all backgrounds. Your goal as a social worker is to make social change that will benefit vulnerable or disadvantaged individuals or families. And you will have the opportunity to experience first-hand work in the field during at least one psychology-related internship during your time at Edgewood College.
In addition to the hands-on internship experiences, the Human Services Program at Edgewood College provides several other advantages over other human services programs. One of the major advantages of the program is that its curriculum and internship program meets state requirements for the Social Work Training Certificate (SWTC). A SWTC enables employment in positions requiring the title "Social Worker" while studying for the Social Work Certification exam. After passing this exam, individuals hold the title "Social Worker," making them competitive candidates for social work positions.

Yesterday Robin noted that when McKenzie Phillips was hocking her ailing career, Howard was always happy to have her on the show. But now that she has a major scoop about her alleged affair with her dad, she goes straight to Oprah. Robin noted that the show can get the big names on their way up or down, but not at the peak.
"Users!" Howard interjected. "That's why I hate everybody."
I can relate. In Jewish journalism, long the journalistic equivalent of FM radio, we can get the big celebs only after they've entered adult diapers or when they're just out of baby diapers… but we do get 'em….

Nairobi (Daily Nation)-Police say they thwarted planned attacks after receiving credible intelligence that Al-Shabaab was planning to strike in the country during the Easter festivities.
Following this intelligence, additional officers were deployed and surveillance patrols in all sensitive areas intensified. Officers from the National Security Intelligence Service, Anti-Terrorism Police Unit, Flying Squad, GSU and their regular counterparts have been closely monitoring places where large numbers of people usually gather including public transport, recreational and entertainment facilities and places of worship.
Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere on Saturday said that due to intensified covert and overt operations, the attackers were unable to hit as they had planned.
However, the Force could not deny or confirm that some suspects had been arrested.
On Friday, the police boss instructed all officers to be keen on individuals ordinarily perceived as harmless including women, those well dressed and people driving in expensive motor vehicles.
Anti-terrorism officers have been monitoring the movements and even the communication of some people believed to be close to Al-shabaab. Some of these suspects entered the country last year from Kismayu.
"We have people we suspect to have links with Al-Shabaab and we are monitoring them very closely," said an officer who sought anonymity.
Within the city, there was heavy presence of police officers both in uniformed and without.
Al-Shabaab has previously claimed responsibilty for terror attacks in the country.

I'm back in the al.com office today, still recovering from covering the inaugural Hangout Beach, Music & Arts Festival this weekend. Most of the questions I've received since returning are somewhere along the lines of, "Was it good? Would you go again?" and my answer is simple: Yes.
Though the weather didn't cooperate early Sunday, and there were some complaints about the music schedule not being staggered enough, overall, I think the festival is a good value and a good time. Who can really complain about a music festival with a great lineup on a white sandy beach?
Below is a video of sights and sounds from the final day of the festival.
And here, Gulf Shores/Orange Beach Convention & Visitors Bureau marketing director Mike Foster talks about the cities' involvement with the festival.

The Evolution of Americas Most Famous Beer Label
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." -- Benjamin Franklin
We take our beer seriously here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. Not only is our society a melting pot of cultures from every corner of the Earth, we're a melting pot of beers, too. Those aforementioned cultures brought their beer-making expertise and technology to the New World, and bequeathed it to their posterity. The British and Irish, the French and Spaniards, the German and Austrians, the Belgian and Dutch, the Asians and Africans -- they all contributed to the variety that is American beer today. We've even stolen a few ideas from the ancient Sumerians.
For those of us who prefer our grain liquefied, fermented, and hopped, there's very little about the subject that that isn't interesting -- especially after we've downed a few. You can be sure that everything about it, from how its made to who invented it first, has been somberly discussed in the hallowed halls of beerademia, also known as the local bars and backyard barbecues across America. Even packaging has come under the eagle eye of scrutiny -- especially the kind you find attached to glass bottles.
While canned beer is of course acceptable, especially in a pinch, it's the bottled kind that really provides one with the full beer-drinking experience -- particular the bottled kind that comes in the 12-ounce longneck. Not only do you get to enjoy the taste and aroma of a full-bodied ale, there's also the opportunity to examine, pick at, and experiment with the label. Yeah, we've all done it. Let he who is without sin cast the first bottle, right?
Some people even make a habit of collecting beer bottles and their labels. In the spirit of the public interest, then, we thought it was a good idea to provide a generalized history of the evolution of the beer bottle label, from the perspective of a popular beer that is precisely one hundred years younger than our great nation. With no further ado, we give you: the evolution of the Budweiser beer bottle label, complete with graphics.
Bud's First Label -- and Custer's Last Stand
Here we have the original Budweiser Beer label, dating from 1876 -- the year of Custer's ill-fated Last Stand against the Sioux at Little Big Horn. As you can see, the main portion of the label is in German, indicating the beer's Germanic origins. The name itself derives from the city of Budweis in Bohemia (now in the Czech Republic); the beer is brewed in that city's traditional style, although rice was later added to the American version to produce a clearer, lighter finish. "Budweiser" means, simply, "from Budweis."
This label set the standard for all those to come, the major difference being that, in the original, the coat of arms and banner at the top are separate from the main label. Later, they were included together in a one-piece label, all set against a red background. The original pledge on the top banner read, "We guarantee that this beer is brewed especially for our own trade according to the Budweiser process of the best Saazer hops and Bohemian barley and warranted to keep in any climate. Take notice that all the corks are burned with our trade mark."
The Label Comes Together, As Tombstone Falls Apart
The Budweiser label introduced in the early 1880s (around the time the Earps and Clantons were fighting it out at the OK Corral) was the first one-piece label, and while a modern Bud drinker would find it a bit archaic, it's nonetheless instantly recognizable. The red background appears for the first time, as does the eagle motif (though it would evolve substantially over time). Also new is the large print on either side of the white portion of the label, which initially read "ORIGINAL AS DECREED BY THE COURTS" on the left side and "ONLY GENUINE AS DECREED BY THE COURTS" on the right.
Both Lady Liberty and Bud Unveil a New Pledge
By 1886 (the year the Statue of Liberty was dedicated in New York Harbor), the last sentence of the pledge had been changed to read " branded with our trade mark" rather than " burned with our trade mark." The print to either side of the main label had come to read "GENUINE AS DECREED BY THE COURTS." Also, the label now declared that it was brewed by the "Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass'n," rather than Mainz-Gesenheim, the companys original name.
Big Changes in the Big Apple, Little Tweaks on the Bud Label
Around the same time the New York Subway opened, Budweiser introduced a new label -- although only the most perspicacious Bud drinker would have noticed the difference between it and the previous one. The pledge now read, "We guarantee that this beer is brewed especially for our own trade according to the Budweiser process of choicest Saazer hops, best barley and rice. This beer is brewed in St. Louis and warranted to keep in any climate. Take notice that all corkage bears our trade mark."
The Ford Model T is Introduced, as Bud Speaks the Mother Tongue
By the time Henry Ford's Model T was that latest word in automotive technology (1908), Anheuser-Busch had finally come to realize that very few of its drinkers were fluent in written German, so for the first time the main portion of the label was printed in English. Otherwise, it remained very much the same as before, except that the alcohol content and volume now appeared above the name, a requirement of new federal laws. The last line of the pledge now read, "Take notice that all crowns bear our trade mark," indicating that bottle tops, rather than corks, were now used for closure.
The Great War is Over, and Bud Decides One Head is Better Than Two
As World War I drew to a close, the Budweiser label underwent another minor change that, frankly, only the most eagle-eyed beerologists would have noticed. Suddenly, instead of reading " brewed from the finest Saazer Hops " the pledge now read, " brewed from the Choicest Hops ". Oh, and now the eagle symbols on other side of the label mirrored each other, and were clearly American eagles. Formerly, the one on the right was styled after the doubled-headed Germanic heraldic eagle. It's easy to guess why they changed that one. Note, too, that the crowns on the banner are gone.
Rebooting the Label as Prohibition Comes to an End
In 1920, to the horror of American beer drinkers everywhere, Congress enacted legislation banning the manufacture of alcoholic beverages. The 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave rise to Prohibition, an especially dry spell that lasted until 1933. Budweiser survived by manufacturing non-alcoholic cereal bears that tasted beerish but didn't have that kick we all know and love. They got back into gear immediately after the 21st Amendment repealed the 18th (hallelujah!). A new beer era deserved a new label, and the above one was the one we got for Budweiser. With minor exceptions, it's very much like today's label. The Label now read "Budweiser: Brewed by the original Budweiser process from the Choicest Hops, Rice, and Best Barley Malt, Anheuser-Busch, Inc., St. Louis, Mo USA." The text to either side of the label has been streamlined to read, simply, "GENUINE." The second line of the pledge has been amended to read, " to the Budweiser process of Choicest Hops, Rice, and Best Barley malt."
As America Enters World War II, Major Label Renovations Occur
About the time America got involved in World War II, the Budweiser people changed their label again, putting the "Lager Beer" back into the name. The Label now read, "Budweiser Lager Beer, Brewed by our original process from the Choicest Hops, Rice and Best Barley Malt, BREWED AND BOTTLED BY Anheuser-Busch, St. Louis, Mo USA." The alcoholic content and volume declarations had switched sides, and the pledge now read, "This is the famous Budweiser beer brewed in St. Louis especially for our own trade, according to our own original process of Choicest Hops, Rice, and Best Barley malt. It will keep in any climate and is backed by our reputation. Take notice that all crowns bear our trade mark."
A New Eagle has Landed as the Cuban Missile Crisis Erupts
It was 20 years before the Bud label underwent another significant change. By the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the classic Anheuser-Busch eagle superimposed over a large letter "A" had appeared. The main label hand changed, too. Not only was the alcoholic content declaration gone, the last two lines of the label now read, "BREWED AND BOTTLED AT ST. LOUIS, MO., USA BY Anheuser-Busch, Inc." The names of other cities where the beer was brewed, including Newark, Tampa, Los Angeles, and Miami, appeared underneath in smaller capital letters.
First Man on the Moon, New Pledge on the Label
By the time Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, the pledge had become, "This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no brand produced by any other brewer which costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Ageing produces a taste, a smoothness, and a drinkability you will find in no other beer at any price." The rest of the label had evolved just a tad, so that the bottom of the main label now read, "BREWED AND BOTTLED BY Anheuser-Busch, Inc. OF ST. LOUIS, MO AT TAMPA, FLA. ALSO NEWARK, LOS ANGELES, HOUSTON."
Bud is Crowned King, and President Clinton is Re-Elected
The next significant change occurred in the mid 1990s, when the main label was recast entirely in italics and rewritten to read, "Budweiser, King of Beers, Brewed by our original process from the Choicest Hops, Rice, and Best Barley Malt, Anheuser-Busch, Inc., St. Louis, Mo." This represented the first time the sobriquet "The King of Beers" had appeared on the label.
A New Label for the New Millennium
The most recent Budweiser label was introduced in the year 2000. It looks very much like the previous one to the casual glance, but there are a few noticeable differences. First off, note that the eagle symbols have been changed back to the versions used before the early 1960s. The banner is a bit compressed, and now the seal is printed partially with gold lettering; the same is true of the leaves on the banner. Golden barley sprigs and hops leaves have been added between the seal and main label. The "GENUINE" logo to either side of the main label is now in italics, and the text on the label itself is mostly written in cursive, as it was before World War II. In a sense, the label has incorporated the best elements of all previous labels. The pledge has not changed, but the main label now reads simply, "Budweiser, KING OF BEERS, Brewed by our original all natural process using the Choicest Hops, Rice, and Best Barley Malt. Beer Bier Cerveza Birra Biere"
There's no telling where the Bud label's likely to go after this, but two things are for sure: beerologists the world over will be keeping an eye on it, and we'll definitely let you know what transpires.

on February 2, 2012 - 12:01 AM
As the Buffalo winter finally sets in, many Western New Yorkers have only one thought on their minds: skiing.
The cold air slipping under your scarf, speeding down and across each hill, looking across to see your best friend or little sister close beside you, the conversations on the chair lift -- a combination of laughs about school and the decision of where to go next, the feeling of taking the heavy boots off after a long day on the slopes.
Winter would be unbearable without it.
Skiing and snowboarding, for many high school students, is a reprieve from the school week and keep away the winter blues. The cold-weather activity brings everyone together -- it becomes a social atmosphere, something that is special to our extended community and a way to survive the Western New York winters.
Skiing and snowboarding can connect everyone.
Carlee Frank, a junior at Springville-Griffith Institute, knows about the bonds that form from skiing. Her adventurous personality, along with persuasion from her friends, led her to learn to ski during last year's winter break from school.
With the help of her friends, she was flying down the hills like a natural in just a few tries.
"I knew I was missing out on something special," she said.
Since then, Carlee has taught her sister to ski.
"It's just a good release from stress and school, where you can go with friends, but see everyone. It's like a big social event," Carlee said.
Brandi Burgard, a junior at Springville-Griffithm, has spent her life dedicated to skiing and teaching the next generation. She spends every weekend and her days off from school at the Holiday Valley Creek Side Lodge. Brandi, who has been skiing since she was 2, enjoys being with friends and family and getting together to have a good time on the ski slopes.
Holiday Valley's Learning Center teaches kids, ages 3 to 12, to ski. Twice a day, Brandi takes the kids out on the hill to learn and improve their skills.
"Children are the future of the skiing industry," she says. "It's important to teach them. They will encourage their parents and teach their children. They will invest in skiing."
For Sierra Bowen, a junior at Springville-Griffith, skiing takes on something different -- a competitive side. Sierra has been ski racing at Kissing Bridge for nine years. Sierra, 16, hits the slopes every week with her team, developing the necessary skills for the highly competitive and fast-paced races. She is one of the oldest members of the team.
Sierra, who has been skiing since she was 2, has developed a passion for skiing. Her race team travels to other resorts across the area for events throughout the season.
"And there is [the state competition] at the end [of the season]," she says. "The big event.
"Ski racing isn't just the activity of skiing," Sierra continues. "It's a sport that I am dedicated to, and the social time combined."
Sierra has made some close friendships through competitive skiing, whether it's from time spent traveling on chairlifts together or to far-away events.
The warmer weather this year has slowed the ski season for many skiers who like to wait for the perfect powder to cover the hills. Brandi and Sierra both agree that although the weather affects the conditions, they don't let it dampen their fun.
"The weather changes the number, variety and quality of the hills," Brandi says.
Sierra adds that her events can get canceled. "But, when it comes down to it," she says, "dedicated skiers don't care what the weather's like -- whether it is rain, snow, 70 degrees, or negative-20, we'll ski in all sorts of weather."
Brandi nods in agreement. "We go out anyway," she says. "To have fun."
The idea for the ski slopes at Kissing Bridge started in 1959 when Harry Loomis (who died in a car accident Jan. 20 at age 83) restored a cabin on some land in Glenwood. He had thought about buying a used tractor and building a rope tow. He contacted his brother-in-law, Robert James, with the idea.
"I was interested," James said. "I was not a skier, but he was. He knew how to make the terrain and together we learned how to make the snow."
Today, James is 88 and still working and researching. From his office window, the original Kissing Bridge sign letters are visible, mounted together, a birthday present from his family.
"Fifty-three years ago we started talking about it. Now it's complete. It provides about 500 jobs in the wintertime -- about 500 people work there part time and there are now eight chairlifts," he said. "It's being developed and improved all the time, each year. And people love to go there."
